The instant Shi Feng drank the Life Potion, a wave of coolness spread through his body, gradually giving way to a growing warmth, as though every cell within him was being reborn.
"Incredible. Just drinking this has already healed a good deal of the muscle strain from before. At this rate, I probably won't even need half an hour for a full recovery." Shi Feng probed the strained area of his body and couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.
The damage from overexerting his body was far more severe than what an athlete might suffer from pushing too hard. Even with the most advanced medical equipment available, recovery would normally take two or three days.
Yet now, a mere half hour would be enough for a complete recovery. The Life Potion's effects were nothing short of miraculous.
Beyond the healing, Shi Feng could also feel his body's cells growing more active, becoming progressively stronger. Once the potion's effects were fully absorbed, his physical capabilities would receive a substantial boost.
"No wonder the Life Potion sold for sky-high prices in my previous life. With my current physical condition, if I kept taking them regularly, I probably wouldn't even need two months before my body reached the level of a Transformation Realm Grandmaster." Shi Feng glanced at the five remaining Life Potion bottles on the table, a flicker of fervor in his eyes.
His physical potential had already hit a bottleneck. No matter how hard he trained, the improvements were negligible, and progress came only in tiny increments over vast stretches of time.
The only way to break through quickly was to become a Transformation Realm Grandmaster.
What set a Transformation Realm Grandmaster apart was their mastery of the body, refined to a level of sublime perfection. This was especially true of their control over the brain — by gaining finer command of neural processes, they could accelerate and regulate endocrine function and metabolism, driving their physical capabilities to heights that a mere Dark Force master could never match.
But becoming a Transformation Realm Grandmaster was easier said than done.
The Life Potion shattered that very constraint, allowing one's physical potential to keep climbing.
The catch was that only one bottle could be consumed every six days, so six bottles represented just thirty-six days' worth. To reach the level of a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, he would need far more Life Potions. Still, once his body was pushed to that level, even without being a true Transformation Realm Grandmaster, he could go toe-to-toe with one.
After finishing the potion, Shi Feng checked the time. It was nearly six in the evening, and in the Divine Realm, dawn was fast approaching. He hurried back to Zero Wing's headquarters, ready to bolster its security and combat strength.
Just as Zhuo Linqiu had warned, Wang Zongquan's move was likely a probe by Lu Xingluo. Once Lu Xingluo had a clear picture of Zero Wing's situation, he would strike from the shadows. To prepare for that, Zero Wing needed tighter security and stronger core members.
Shi Feng had originally planned to give the Life Potions to Fire Dance and the others, but after a moment's thought, he decided against it.
The Life Potion was effective for anyone, but using it on ordinary people or fighters who had barely entered the Dark Force stage would be a waste. Their physical bodies had not yet reached any kind of bottleneck or limit — there were far more cost-effective ways to improve them.
His earlier experiments with Wang Zongquan had already shown him that to raise combat power quickly, one could pursue Perfection Realm awareness, master the Reason Realm, and then undergo his personal guidance and training. Even without mastering Dark Force, someone with comparable physical stats and Reason Realm understanding could hold their own against a Dark Force expert. That level of capability would be enough to handle most threats.
Once that was in place, all he needed was to enter more martial arts competitions and let the Tiandou Training Hall's status and influence soar in Fenglin City, establishing it as the undisputed leader. At that point, Lu Xingluo would find it far harder to cause trouble in the shadows.
With this plan in mind, Shi Feng decided to fully open the Lost Town as soon as possible — no longer restricting access to just Zero Wing's main raid team. If more people could enter the Reason Realm, it would dramatically strengthen Zero Wing overall, better equipping the guild to face the superpowers in the Divine Realm. After all, the spotlight on Zero Wing for controlling Stone Forest City was blindingly bright, and the major superpowers would never simply sit back and watch.
After reshuffling Zero Wing's headquarters security arrangements, Shi Feng quickly logged into the Divine Realm.
The moment he appeared inside Torch Commerce's supreme-tier Forging Room, a strange sensation of clarity washed over his mind. It was as though the mental congestion he had been feeling suddenly loosened, leaving behind a sense of extra capacity.
"Is this the effect of the Life Potion?" Shi Feng marveled inwardly.
In his current state, he felt he could actually start learning Silver-tier combat techniques.
He had obtained the Silver-tier Legacy Stone Slab a while back but had never made much use of it.
