The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 775 - 771: Plan Change

The stone chamber was serene, with a subtle element of ambiguity flowing through the air.

Ye Chenfeng had his back to Xia Zining, tightly closed his eyes. It was because he had just awakened, with his mind still muddled, that he had acted so inexplicably, and now even he felt it was somewhat shameless.

However, luckily our comrade Ye Chenfeng had thick skin, and it didn’t take long for him to recover his senses, recalling the agonizing sensation in the medicine pool, feeling as if death was very, very near, which caused him to break out into a cold sweat once again.

Feeling the King Level Initial Stage Soul Force filling his body, Ye Chenfeng slowly clenched his fists, and a smile appeared on his face. With his current strength, he was comparable to an expert in the Initial Stage of Sky-Breaking. In the Ancient Martial World, possessing formidable strength was the supreme path, especially since he had many responsibilities to shoulder. Only by making his strength stronger and stronger could he be confident of completing those tasks that must be done.

Ye Chenfeng tore off the bandages wrapped around his body, and the densely packed wounds had all healed, not even leaving behind a scar. His skin was glowing with a faint sheen, even more delicate than a baby’s, enough to make any woman envious.

"Crackling—"

Ye Chenfeng twisted his neck, arms, and legs, and continuous bone-friction sounds came from his joints, and he exhaled a comfortable breath from his throat. It felt as if he was a Phoenix undergoing Nirvana, reborn from the ashes. He felt like a door inside his body had been opened, from now on he could let fish leap in the vast sea and birds fly in the high sky.

While Ye Chenfeng had his back turned, Xia Zining found a few pieces of Bing Wuyan’s clothing in the stone chamber. Although the size was somewhat inappropriate, they would have to make do for now.

When Ye Chenfeng heard no sound behind him, he knew that Xia Zining must have put on her clothes, so he immediately turned around. Seeing Xia Zining sitting in a chair, dressed, her face was full of embarrassment and anger, her beautiful eyes glaring very wide as if she was about to flay Ye Chenfeng alive.

Ye Chenfeng clearly remembered that while he was unconscious, his consciousness seemed to have arrived at a vast snowy plain, and when he was about to freeze to death, he found a stove, which was undoubtedly Xia Zining. He knew Xia Zining must have used her body to warm him. Without her, perhaps he wouldn’t have survived this ordeal.

Just as Xia Zining was about to scold him, Ye Chenfeng spoke first in a very sincere tone, "Xia Zining, thank you, thank you for saving me. I, Ye Chenfeng, will remember this kindness."

This made Xia Zining swallow back the words she had been about to scold out. In her memory, it was rare to see such a serious expression on Ye Chenfeng. In the end, the words she had intended to scold out were swallowed back into her stomach, the color of embarrassment and anger on her face lessened a few degrees, and she said in a low voice, "Ye Chenfeng, you scoundrel, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s just that you’re yet to protect me to my sect’s treasure location, I can’t let you die like this."

Ye Chenfeng looked at the woman in front of him, who was saying one thing but feeling another, shrugged his shoulders casually, and walked towards the small room behind the secret door. His clothes were still inside the small room. After entering the small room, he started putting on his clothes.

After taking a careful look around and finding nothing special, Ye Chenfeng focused his attention back on the medicine pool. The dark liquid in the pool had completely turned into clear water. Seeing a huge plug at the bottom of the medicine pool, he took off his clothes and trousers again, stepped into the pool, and pulled out the huge plug.

After the huge plug was removed, the water in the medicine pool rushed crazily into the hole below, and soon, the pool was drained dry.

When the water in the medicine pool was completely drained, Ye Chenfeng discovered some inscriptions at the bottom of the pool. Just as he was about to see what the inscriptions were, Xia Zining came in and asked, "Ye Chenfeng, what are you doing?"

"I found some inscriptions at the bottom of the medicine pool," Ye Chenfeng replied.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zining also walked into the now empty medicine pool and, together with Ye Chenfeng, looked at the inscriptions at the bottom. There, it read: "This medicine pool was built by me during my leisure time. The potion contained within is known as the Dragon-Tiger Savage Elixir. As time passes, the energy within the potion will grow stronger. It is said that if this potion is stored for ninety to a hundred years, even a master of the Primordial Heaven Realm would have their body burst by the violent energy if they entered this liquid. I truly wonder which unlucky descendant would immerse themselves in it? I would like to witness the spectacle of a body being torn apart by this savage energy, but, alas, I will not be able to see it."

The signature at the end of this inscription was left by "Sun Fengyang" in strong and vigorous characters.

After reading the inscription, Ye Chenfeng immediately cursed all eighteen generations of Sun Fengyang’s ancestors, because according to the years recorded on the wall behind the medicine pool, this pool was nearly a hundred years old. And the wall vaguely mentioned the potion was for enhancing strength; this damn Sun Fengyang was clearly setting a trap! Not even a Primordial Heaven Realm master could withstand the potency of a Hundred-Year Medicine Pool—wouldn’t it be certain death for masters of lesser realms who jumped in?

Ye Chenfeng felt he had narrowly escaped death and kept cursing Sun Fengyang, this bastard, in his heart.

In fact, if not for the limitations of the first generation Soul Force warriors, and since much of the potion’s strength was spent breaking down the walls within Ye Chenfeng’s body, he would have likely died from his body bursting already. One must understand, even masters of the Primordial Heaven Realm could not withstand the strength of the Hundred-Year Medicine Pool!

Now, what was originally a death trap turned out to be a tremendous opportunity for Ye Chenfeng, completely breaking the limitations of his first-generation Soul Force warrior status. It was a blessing in disguise, although Ye Chenfeng himself was unaware of this.

"Sun Fengyang? Sun Fengyang?..." Xia Zining muttered this name, then her beautiful eyes lit up as she said, "Right, I remember now. I saw in the archives of my sect, the one who possessed the Storm Step Technique was named Sun Qingyang. This Sun Fengyang must be his descendant."

After sighing at this revelation, Xia Zining also felt a sense of awe for Ye Chenfeng. The potion in the medicine pool was supposed to be unbearable even for masters of the Primordial Heaven Realm, yet not only did Ye Chenfeng survive, his strength also increased? He could only be described as a "monster."

Xia Zining remembered it seemed like ever since she first met Ye Chenfeng, she had witnessed one miracle after another. When the three major sects joined forces to attack Zhentian Sect, and the sect was in grave danger, Ye Chenfeng incredibly brought with him eighty to ninety Heaven Rank experts as reinforcements. Such power might not count for much among the top-tier forces, but among the first and second-tier ones, it was enough to shock people to the core.

"Ye Chenfeng, this cave dwelling must have been left by Sun Fengyang and was later discovered by Bing Wuyan. Logically, Bing Wuyan should have found this medicine pool long ago. Had she entered it, her chances of survival were slim—how could she possibly still be alive?" Xia Zining wondered aloud.

Ye Chenfeng spread his hands and said, "Actually, I have the same doubt in my mind, but now that Bing Wuyan is dead, there’s no need for us to ponder over it anymore; it’s just a waste of brain cells."

"Ye Chenfeng, are we still going to participate in the Tianshan Sect’s disciple selection?" Xia Zining asked.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "I’m afraid we’ll need to change the plan we had decided on. After encountering Bing Wuyan, I realized that my strength was insufficient. Although my current strength is enough to compete with the early stages of the Sky-Breaking rank, that alone is not enough. So, I will need a few days to fully master the Storm Step Technique. By that time, I’ll have the power to instantly defeat anyone at the initial stage of Sky-Breaking."

After a brief pause, Ye Chenfeng continued, "Even if I can’t overcome them, I’ll at least have the capacity to escape."(To be continued.
