Chapter 29: Invincible Power

As time passed, Ye Fei felt the power within him slowly merging with himself. At this moment, he no longer felt any pain but instead experienced a tremendous sense of rapidly increasing power. This feeling was something he had only experienced while leveling up in the game, giving him a sense of illusion that he might still be in the game, with reality seemingly unaffected.

The wait was long, and Ye Fei even felt it more unbearable than when he was in excruciating pain, as the outcome of this matter was incredibly important to him, making him nervous.

During this wait, unsure of how much time had passed, Ye Fei finally felt the surge of power coming to a complete halt, perfectly integrated within himself without any sense of discord.

Crawling out of that box, Ye Fei was astonished to find that the contraption he had made had completely transformed at some point. As he left, the box was now completely ruined, turning into a pile of damaged parts, with even the steel casing on the outside twisted and deformed.

Looking at this scene before him, Ye Fei was not shocked but rather delighted. The large steel plate was broken, yet he emerged unharmed. Did this mean he now possessed immense power? However, the peculiar heaviness in his body reminded him that he was still not well, appearing as feeble as before.

With a mix of apprehension and excitement, Ye Fei picked up the deformed steel plate, held it at both ends, and gently bent it in the middle. There was a crisp snap as the two-centimeter-thick steel plate split in half at his touch.

Staring dumbfounded at the two halves in his hand, Ye Fei began to doubt if he was dreaming. Was this real? Could it be that simple, to have gained such strength? Had the steel plate deteriorated due to the recent events?

Ye Fei, unable to believe what he had just witnessed, then picked up the small dumbbell usually used for arm exercises by the bedside, an object that had not been in contact with the box and therefore shouldn't have been influenced.

Although this dumbbell was small, it was already at Ye Fei's limit. Normally, it took a lot of effort to lift, but now it felt light as a feather in his hand, as if it were made of paper.

Overjoyed, Ye Fei tightened his grip on the dumbbell and threw a punch. However, this action surprised him once again as he felt his fingers sink into the handle of the dumbbell. Hastily bringing it closer to inspect, Ye Fei saw that the pure iron handle of the small dumbbell bore deep impressions from his fingers.

While knowing he had indeed become stronger, Ye Fei was left gaping in amazement. Was this too incredible? To leave such marks on solid iron—perhaps even the best martial artist in the family couldn't achieve this. Could it be that he truly possessed the strength of the barbarians from the game?

Contemplating this possibility, Ye Fei was eager to put his newfound strength to the test. However, the room was clearly not the best choice. He needed to go outside.

Quietly opening the door to peek outside, Ye Fei noticed the lights were still on in the living room downstairs, indicating Aunt Zhang was still awake. Going outside now would likely be met with opposition from her, but Ye Fei was impatient. Thus, he made his way to the window in his room and looked down. Feeling a tinge of fear, he wondered if jumping down would cause any problems. But waiting for Aunt Zhang to sleep before leaving the ground floor seemed like a long wait.

After a brief moment of consideration, Ye Fei let his desire to overcome rationality. He thought to himself that with his increased strength, perhaps his constitution had also improved, and jumping from here should be fine.

Steeling himself, Ye Fei finally pushed open the window, climbed onto the windowsill, and leaped outward. However, this leap took him by surprise as he realized he didn't land in the backyard as expected but instead flew over the wall, landing far away without a sound, feeling weightless as he touched the ground.

When Ye Fei turned back, he realized that with that jump, he had actually leaped nearly twenty meters away. This reminded him of the barbarian's leaping skill. Could it be that he could really use those skills in reality?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Fei became even more excited. Unable to contain himself, he began to sprint at full speed. In that moment, he only heard the sound of rushing wind in his ears as he looked to the sides and saw the streetlights speeding backward. This speed was even faster than when he practiced driving with the special forces in the military camp. His conviction grew stronger that he now possessed the skills of a barbarian.

Understanding this, Ye Fei was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud. However, being in the urban area, it was clearly not appropriate. So, he suppressed that urge and continued running at a faster pace.

In less than half an hour, Ye Fei found himself outside the city in Wanghai. When he finally stopped, he could hardly believe that he had run over a hundred miles in such a short time and didn't feel tired at all. The explosive power within him made him unable to resist roaring loudly, the sound carrying far and wide. He also felt that his body had become much stronger.

Next, Ye Fei tested each of the barbarian skills one by one. Although he didn't find many of them practical, the improvement in his physical abilities alone was enough to satisfy him. With this kind of strength, he was confident that he could protect the women in his family well, even though each of them was skilled. Ye Fei always felt they needed his protection.

After running and jumping outside for a while, Ye Fei quietly returned home. He quickly took a shower, lay down in his room, feeling a bit excited. Fortunately, after many years of training, his character had become much tougher than that of his peers. Otherwise, if an ordinary person were to obtain such invincible power, who knows how they might go crazy or even become lawless.

After the excitement passed, Ye Fei thought about his body. Why did he feel so heavy despite having such strong power? He had to admit that this success not only gave him immense strength but also made his mind much more agile. So, Ye Fei quickly realized that his current immense strength was not physical but rather a result of unlocking the mysterious power of his mind domain. His body, however, remained in a state of disrepair, essentially unchanged, indicating that what he gained this time was something akin to a superpower.

"It looks like I still need to continue practicing that technique." Ye Fei murmured to himself. He couldn't help but wonder, if his body was already this strong in its current state, how powerful would he become if he truly mastered that technique? With this pleasant fantasy in mind, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
