19 Life Threatening!
After waiting for around 2 more hours, Li'er finally awake. There are not many students left in the library.
Tian Feng holds her hand and heads out to have dinner. Li'er didn't struggle to break free and even she herself doesn't know why.
While he was waiting for her earlier, he had thought of many things. His goal in this world is to become the strongest existence.
However, before he come to this world, he had always yearned to go back in time. That was because he had many regrets. One of those regrets was Li'er. Back then, he didn't have as much confidence in his own future. Thus, he didn't get to spent much time with her.
Li'er was a beautiful and intelligent girl. Thus, she was on a different level. But now, everything has changed. He has the confidence and capability to be with her.
He also had a plan for himself. Before he had beat the strongest person here, he didn't plan to leave the academy. As soon as he defeated that person, he would leave here with Li'er to the next location.
Life is an adventure! I travel in pair with my lover. Through this vast world, we'll go everywhere. How beautiful would it be?
As for Da Jing, whether he wants to go with him or not is up to him to decide by himself.
Tian Feng estimated that if he had a breakthrough to the Spiritual Realm, no one here would be his match anymore.
The rest of the time was spending on debating with Yuki whether he should tell Li'er his feeling now or wait for a few more years. The result was undecided because Li'er woke up when he was still debating.
In front of their room, Li'er looks at Tian Feng with a blushing face. "Let... let me go!"
Realizing that he was still holding onto her hand, he quickly released it and said "Goodnight! Rest well..."
Li'er quickly entered her room and Tian Feng also entered his room shortly after.
As Tian Feng entered his room, he locked the door and start to cultivate the Celestial Immortal Art hoping to make a breakthrough to the next realm.
"Arghh..." Tian Feng groaned in a low voice.
He felt a sharp pain in his body like something was tearing his flesh apart. He stops cultivate immediately thinking that he did something wrong.
Yuki: "FengFeng! You have reached the limit of your body. You can't cultivate this technique anymore."
[What?]
"I'll spend your remaining points to unlock the side effect of this technique if you want to know."
[Alright!]
"Although your cultivation technique is of heaven level, it wasn't yet a god level technique so there are still side effects. Due to your pure Qi being too thick and heavy, it constantly causing damage to your meridians. So, unless you have a stronger body, you can't continue with this.
Besides, even if your Qi is pure, it's still lacking. It doesn't even have the healing effect which it's supposed to have. The healing you used before was only for healing the external physical wounds.
It's also not compatible with your God Soul Sutra.
If your body is not getting stronger, your body will slowly disintegrate even if you stop cultivate this technique."
Upon hearing this, his heart sank. Tian Feng quickly asked for a solution. [If I were to fuse all three of them together, would the side effect go away? Or if I were to upgrade it, would it go away?]
"The side effects will only get stronger after you upgraded it. As for the fusion, you don't have enough points but I can tell you that there's a possibility that the side effects will go away."
[How much points is required to fuse them?]
"One million."
[How can I earn points fast?]
"You can complete missions or win battles. Anything you do that will give you experiences will earn you points. Even if you were to experience new foods."
[Then why didn't I get any points from those book reading experiences?]
"Because you didn't assimilate it. You hold it back lest it'll make you crazy."
Tian Feng was silent for a while before he stood up. This matter concerns his life and death. It can't be taken lightly.
Knowing the graveness of the problem, he was prepared to assimilate those book into him. At this point, only points could save him. However, he wasn't going to do in one go.
"Guess, I'll try with 2 first." He said as he recalling the essence of those books. It was a book on how to transform Qi into the fire which Tian Feng has already known and experienced.
[Yuki! How many points did I earn from that?]
"10 points. Do you want me to put an automatic notification whenever you earned points?"
[Please do that]
Tian Feng was thinking that 10 points were too little and it would take him forever to reach 1 million but he didn't give up.
Continuing to assimilate the knowledge within those book into himself, his eyes have already gone red and veins are popping out of his forehead. If he had known the side effects earlier, he wouldn't be in this situation.
He made a mental note to always read the side effects before practising any skills in the future.
"Ding...obtained 8 points"
"Ding...obtained 90 points"
"Ding...obtained 4 points"
"Ding...obtained 1 point"
"Ding...obtained 66 points"
"Ding...obtained 1044 points"
.

.
He hardens his will and persisted until sunrise before he finally stopped.
[How much more do I need?]
"909078"
When Li'er saw him in the morning, she asked worriedly "What happened to you?"
"It's alright, I'm fine." He said with a smile. In front of her, he wouldn't want to appear weak. However, he was secretly glad when there was someone worried about him like this.
The three of them went to have breakfast as usual except that today Tian Feng was running around trying out many different foods. He even tried to get into a fight but unfortunately, no one fights him and he couldn't just go and beat up someone either.
Everyone in the academy knows of his strength so while the senior wouldn't bother, the freshmen also wouldn't dare.
Immediately after they arrived at the library, Tian Feng starts to collect books hurriedly but was stop by Yuki.
The sudden stop made him remember her words on the previous day.
[Alright, you pick for me. It wouldn't cost any point, right?]
Yuki: "Don't worry! I won't charge you for this."
[Can't you lend me some points first then?]
"Nope, definitely not."
[Why not?]
"Because it wouldn't be fun that way."
[...]
After walking and looking at each and every stone on the shelf, Yuki finally chose one for him. It's a book called Basic Body Cultivation.
He assimilated it immediately and continued browsing. Then onto the next shelf and then onto the last one. Finally a second one 'The Elementals of Nature'
Instantly after he assimilated this second book, the knowledge from the first book and the second book seem like they had become a single book. Of course, this is just his feeling alone.
He finally knows how to incorporate the electricity into his Divine Steel Body. He stopped moving and went into a trance.
His two friends couldn't see him went into a daze like this because they had gone into a stupor shortly after they arrived.
Immersed in his consciousness, Tian Feng was studying the Divine Steel Body and modify it to have electricity effect and it must also be controllable otherwise if he can no longer touch anyone, life would have no meaning.
However, an idea suddenly struck him when he was about to finalize his changes. He wants to make it supports all kind of attributes. If he was going to fuse it with other two skills then it has to be strong skill too.
Although electricity is strong but earlier when he assimilated the elemental of nature, he already found several flaws within. When he thought of the five elements, he recalled the Tai Chi picture, Yin Yang.
Everything consisted of Yin and Yang. Heaven is Yang, Earth is Yin. The day is Yang, Night is Yin. The list goes on. The two supports each other and form a perfect balance.
His idea is simple. If his body is formed from the five elements, then when the attacker using any elemental Qi to attack him, his body would have a counter-attack and neutralize the attack. All the energy in the attack would then become nourishment for his body.
When that happened, if he wants his body to be fire, it'll be fire and if he wants it to be lightning, it'll be lightning. If the attacker uses pure Qi that is purer than him, he can combine all elements to defence against it.
The Yin and Yang will draw the power from heaven and earth to support my body.
[Yuki! You heard it, is this possible?]
"Yes, it is."
After hearing Yuki affirmation, he awoke from his stupor and walk up to the first floor. Although he thought of it, he still wants to wait until tonight. It'll safer.
The first floor has fewer shelves than the ground floor. He quickly browsed through each and every book title. There are only 7 shelves here.
When he reached the last shelf, Yuki finally found one good book for him. It's called 'Stars Formation'. He didn't think much and immediately assimilated it.
Only then did he know that this is very useful for forming his new body art. Its benefit is not limited to that but now his body is all he cares for.
He went on to the second floor, it has even fewer books. Finally, he didn't get anything so he went on to the last floor and there are only several dozen books here.
He assimilated two books from here. One is a soul skill 'Mantra of Mind', it's a kind of illusion attack. The second one is a poison book 'Basic Poison Killer'
He went back down as he can't access the upper floor.
