Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 538 - 157: Life Force Surges, Resisting the Divine Light Talisman
"Back then, just by getting second place in the national exam, I was hunted by the Demon God in South City. If the alien demon gods learn of my awakening of the Divine Grade Spirit Root, with my current strength, I have no ability to protect myself.
Even though the Academy, the Divine Sect, and the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance can protect me, there are traitors among humans.
Killing someone like me can earn resources and rewards in the tens of thousands, so someone might risk it.
It’s better to wait and see for now, and once the timing is right, I’ll inform Jiang Nan and the Academy."
After deliberating, considering the safety issues, Ling Feng decided to temporarily conceal the Spirit Root Level.
Fortunately, I can freely change the form of the Spirit Root and the level of Spiritual Power, thus effectively confusing the enemy.
Of course, whether I can hide it from the Divine Thought Masters is still unknown, so Ling Feng has to find a chance to verify it.
He then checked the panel information.
Name: Zhang Lingfeng
Profession: Cultivator, Destruction Mentalist
Coasting Along Value: 137781
Spirit Root: Infinite Spiritual Power, Divine Grade Spirit Root
Heaven and Earth Harmony Index: (18.11/100)
Sea of Consciousness Value: (43.67/100)
Spiritual Power: (47.1/100)
Origin Power: None
Dao Field: None
Life Force: 5.0
Realm: Great Realm Domain
Ling Feng found that after awakening the Divine Grade Spirit Root, there was a significant change in the panel information. Origin Power and Dao Field appeared, and Combat Power and Physical Fitness actually became Life Force and Realm.
At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Harmony Index increased from the original 8.0 to the current 18.11, surpassing most Realm Travelers and even many Divine Realm experts.
It should be noted that when the Heaven and Earth Harmony Index reaches 20.0, one can find Origin Power, which is an important power for establishing a Dao Field.
After awakening the Divine Grade Spirit Root, I took a step into the Great Realm Domain.
Life Force also reached 5.0.
He has read the Spirit Root explanation and has an understanding of Life Force; 1.0 Life Force can achieve finger regeneration.
2.0 Life Force means that even if the internal organs are shattered, they can self-repair if given sufficient time.
With 3.0 Life Force, the physical body can already destroy a battleship, exploding the flesh of the Demon God with a punch.
4.0 Life Force makes the body impervious to water and fire, and even a Titan Laser Cannon can hardly destroy it.
5.0 Life Force is already capable of withstanding a Divine Light Talisman and the South Heaven Gate Array, but if multiple talismans attack together, even 6.0 or 7.0 Life Force cannot withstand it.
Ling Feng vaguely remembers that a Divine Light Talisman can kill a Divine Realm Great Demon.
In a sense, his Life Force can already rival a Divine Realm expert or even surpass some of them.
Even though his realm is only a Great Realm Realm Traveler, the destructive power and attack power he forms might be unbeatable even for some Divine Realm experts.
Unless the opponent finds Origin Power.
He didn’t expect to undergo such a significant change after awakening the Divine Grade Spirit Root.
He clearly realized that he finally entered the second major cultivation system, breaking the boundary of being a Dharma Martial Artist and becoming a qualified cultivator.
He then looked at the 130,000 points of Coasting Along Value.
The higher the Heaven and Earth Harmony Index, the easier it is to find Origin Power.
The stronger the Sea of Consciousness Value, the easier it is to become a Divine Thought Master.
The stronger the Spiritual Power, the stronger the Spiritual Sense, making it easier to detect subtle fluctuations, take precautions in advance, and manipulate Spiritual Power later, allowing the Dantian Sea of Qi to transform into a Dao Field ahead of time.
All three powers are crucial.
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment.
He was considering whether to divide the Coasting Along Value into three parts to simultaneously enhance the Heaven and Earth Harmony Index, Sea of Consciousness Value, and Spiritual Power.
After all, this is the Coasting Along Value he worked hard to accumulate; if used inappropriately, Ling Feng would be heartbroken.
"Huh, it’s actually getting bright outside."
While indecisive, Ling Feng suddenly noticed the sunlight filtering through the curtain, casting a glow on the bath barrel.
He checked the time.
It was already past eight in the morning.
And the martial arts student selection contest for the continental exam starts at nine in the morning.
He didn’t expect that after the Spirit Root awakening, he had spent an entire night unknowingly, his mind completely immersed in the Dantian Sea of Qi, constantly sensing the changes in the Spirit Root Power, completely oblivious to the passage of time.
If not for checking the panel information at this moment, 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
He might have missed the time to participate in the selection contest.
The requirement for participating in the selection contest is simply being an Academy martial arts student and having successfully awakened a Spirit Root.
There’s still time to make it right now.
Ling Feng had to put aside the issue of Coasting Along Value usage for now. At this moment, the Spirit Root has awakened, and it’s a Divine Grade Spirit Root, meaning his divine skill has reached Great Success, his magical power boundless.
If he doesn’t participate in the continental exam martial arts student selection under such conditions, it would be unreasonable.
Moreover, Qin Qianyu still needs his help, and becoming a martial arts student in the continental exam offers the potential to obtain Primordial Potion, which Ling Feng wants to taste.
He also wants to thank Jin Yifei and the other two.
If it weren’t for their meticulous care, he wouldn’t have been able to accumulate tens of thousands of Coasting Along Value during this period.
Thus, he quickly put on his clothes, tidied up his appearance somewhat, and then used his Spirit Root to stir the Power of Heaven and Earth, and with Wind Flight, hurriedly rushed towards the venue.
Ling Feng had always relied on mental telekinesis fluctuations for flight.
Even after becoming a Destruction Mentalist, he flew using mental telekinesis, forming a pair of invisible large hands under his feet to push his body forward.
However, after becoming a Realm Traveler, Ling Feng realized how exhilarating Wind Flight for a Realm Traveler is.
Previously, he thought Realm Travelers flew by stirring the Power of Heaven and Earth, forming a resonance similar to a Mental Telekinesis Master, drawing the body through fluctuating Heaven and Earth Power.
Only now did he understand that Realm Travelers have their bodies resonate with the wind, even becoming one with it. Stirred by a thought, the wind becomes their wings.
They can freely traverse the air and change position, and even if Spiritual Power is repressed and no power fluctuations are released, they can use spiritual stimulation of the Power of Heaven and Earth to glide freely in the air.
The higher the Heaven and Earth Harmony Index, the more effortlessly they can glide, and the faster their speed, without worrying about exhaustion.
This is the advantage of being a cultivator.
"Ah!"
Experiencing this carefree sensation of flying in the air for the first time, Ling Feng couldn’t help but let out a long howl, speeding towards the venue.
Inside the venue.
The students qualified to participate in the martial arts student selection contest for the continental exam, hoping to become martial arts students, were already prepared and waiting for the selection to begin.
Qin Qianyu couldn’t help but look around, then glance outside the venue, sighing in his heart: "It’s okay if he doesn’t show up, at least it means he might be able to awaken a more powerful Spirit Root. Maybe in the next selection contest, he’ll come with an Upper Grade or even Top Grade Spirit Root."
"Ling Feng, I’ll wait for you at the Star Gate."
Not seeing Ling Feng’s figure, although Qin Qianyu felt a bit dejected, he didn’t blame Ling Feng.
Nowadays, they are like sworn brothers; even if Ling Feng is not a Qin family member, he’s like family, and Qin Qianyu hopes for Ling Feng to become better.
"Don’t worry, we’ll both succeed."
Wen Duoduo encouraged, as Qin Qianyu had shared his thoughts with him.
Qin Qianyu smiled slightly, facing all challenges with absolute confidence. The aura from his body had always been the strongest existence among this group.
Jin Yifei and his two companions stood together, their eyes constantly focused on Qin Qianyu.
Qin Qianyu was their biggest obstacle to obtaining the Primordial Potion.
They didn’t dare hope to knock Qin Qianyu out, but no matter what, they needed to ensure the Primordial Potion ended up in their hands.
Fortunately, Ling Feng was stalled by them; otherwise, with Ling Feng’s Dantian Qi Sea Value above 90.0, once he successfully awakened a Spirit Root, even if it wasn’t Upper Grade, it would be at least Middle Grade, and at least on par with Wen Duoduo, posing a threat to the three of them.
"Now I announce..."
Wang Defa stepped forward.
"Ah!"
Suddenly a shout interrupted Wang Defa.
The crowd was startled.
Qin Qianyu’s eyes brightened. He recognized the voice belonging to Ling Feng and couldn’t help but look towards the outside of the venue.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately afterward, they saw Ling Feng flying in on the Wind, his figure quick as lightning. He descended into the venue, brought along a gust of wind.
He cupped his hands toward Wang Defa and everyone present and said, "Sorry, I overslept this morning and almost missed the competition. My apologies!"
