C4 Cave Exploration

Zuo Feng looked like he was about to collapse. Looking at Teng Fang, who was recovering, he almost couldn't hold back the urge to laugh out loud.

This was the second time that Teng Fang had stopped to replenish his spiritual energy. His crazy attacks had consumed a great deal of spiritual energy. Zuo Feng did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack, as the spiritual energy in his body was already saturated after the fierce attack just now, and it started to seep into his limbs and bones. Experience told him that his body was about to break through.

Teng Fang only took a moment to adjust his breathing before clenching his teeth and channeling the small amount of spiritual energy in his body to launch an attack. His fist rained down on Zuo Feng, and as soon as the pure spiritual energy seeped into his meridians, it was immediately devoured by his own body. Even though a large amount of spiritual energy had disappeared the moment it entered, there was still a small amount that flowed into his spiritual energy sea.

The spiritual energy and strength on his fist became smaller and smaller, until Teng Fang stepped back and adjusted his breathing with a depressed expression on his face. The spiritual energy in Zuo Feng's body had finally accumulated to the critical point, and the spiritual energy around Zuo Feng's body began to fluctuate and tremble.

This phenomenon had just begun, and it had caused everyone watching to sink into a state of shock and stupor. One had to know that breaking through to the next realm was different from everything else. One had to be in a relatively stable state of mind as well as one's vital energy and blood in order to achieve it. If Zuo Feng wanted to break through his cultivation base in such a fierce battle, it would be no different from suicide.

Teng Fang was also shocked by Zuo Feng's situation, but he quickly reacted. If he didn't grab the opportunity in front of him, he would eventually lose.

Gritting his teeth, Teng Fang quickly rushed forward before the referee could stop him. His feet continuously dragged the ground, raising a large amount of dust. He gathered the remaining spiritual energy and fiercely smashed it towards the Qi Sea in Zuo Feng's lower abdomen.

'Since you dare break through at this moment, it's no wonder that I sent you back to your original crippled state.

Teng Fang made up his mind to not show any mercy. Once Zuo Feng's Qi Sea was destroyed, he would become a cripple again.

Zuo Feng's body couldn't move at all after his breakthrough. He stared coldly at the ferocious looking Teng Qingshan's abdomen. Within five years, he could only brace himself and cross his arms over his Qi Sea.

"Stop!"

"Bang!"

The referee's shout was heard almost at the same time as the fist and arm collided. Teng Fang's figure staggered and retreated amidst the smoke and dust. On the contrary, Zuo Feng was still standing there without moving at all.

In just two short breaths of time, the smoke and dust were slowly dispersed by the wind. Zuo Feng opened his eyes, his cheeks were slightly red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

All the spiritual energy from the last attack helped him quickly break through the protective barrier and climb to the 4th level of the Body Strengthening Stage. However, it was also because he was disturbed at this critical moment. At this moment, his meridians were still constantly twitching and feeling waves of pain.

Zuo Feng's eyes were cold as he looked at the stunned Teng Fang. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.

"Have you fought enough? Have you felt good?"

With that, Zuo Feng's body moved. It was not at all like the domineering Teng Fang, who was leisurely strolling forward.

At this moment, the surrounding people were completely shocked. They could understand how Zuo Feng could recover his cultivation, but the fact that he could break through in a battle was completely beyond their comprehension.

Even the referee who had stopped the match with a loud shout was completely stunned.

Stop, stop. The referee has already said to stop. "

Zuo Feng completely ignored him, and a warm smile appeared on his face. He raised his right fist and slowly raised it, aiming it towards the door.

With the crisp sound of a bone breaking, Teng Fang's twisted arms smashed into his face. The huge force caused him to fall backwards, but he eventually fell to the ground due to his unstable center of gravity. The force did not dissipate, rolling around on the ground many times before finally stopping.

Gasps were immediately heard from the crowd. Who would have thought that the youth who had cultivated to such a level a year ago would be able to suddenly recover? He hadn't thought that this youth would be able to increase his level in battle. Judging from the power of this punch, it seemed to have the destructive power of a Body Strengthening Stage level 7 martial artist.

Zuo Feng seemed to have done something insignificant as he slowly walked towards the edge of the field. The crowd automatically parted to make way for him. The hundreds of people in the square were all silent. No young man would be so stupid as to issue a challenge to Zuo Feng. He could only watch as Zuo Feng left the square.

Below the waterfall, at the edge of the pool, Zuo Feng was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, wearing a black robe. It had been eight hours since the battle this morning. Zuo Feng did not stay in the village for long.

The injuries caused by the external interference of Zuo Feng's breakthrough were much more serious than he had expected. Fortunately, the strange bulge on his chest fluctuated again. This time, the fluctuation did not raise his strength, but it was very healing. If it was anyone else, it would leave behind a hidden danger that he would never be able to recover from.

A small mouthful of purplish black blood was spat out. His face paled for a moment, and then a hint of redness gradually surfaced on it. These black and purple blood were all left behind due to Teng Fang's interference after their meridians were damaged.

When Zuo Feng opened his eyes again, he had already made up his mind. No matter what, he would not dare to try breaking through in battle again. The pain and danger contained within were not enough for an outsider.

Slightly glancing to the side, he saw that the fifteen meters wide waterfall was like a silver curtain hanging over the cliff. He chose to recover here in order to quickly go to the cave behind the waterfall to investigate.

Although Teng Xiao Yun asked him not to come back here, he also asked him to take care of the things inside the cave by himself. Zuo Feng was not greedy for the items inside the map. It was just that he might be involved in some strange change in his body. If he did not find out about it, Zuo Feng would not be willing to give up.

He tried several times under the waterfall, but the slippery mountain walls and dense moss prevented him from climbing, so he had to choose to descend from the vine rope above the waterfall.

When Zuo Feng's petite body was pushed into the cave by the torrent, he immediately went limp. Even with his body strength as a Fourth Rank Body, he was almost knocked into the pool many times.

After panting for a while, Zuo Feng sat up and started to look around. The cave was not very deep, about three or four meters deep. Even though the sun was setting outside, the orange light could clearly see everything in the cave through the water curtain.

The cave was not big enough to be seen at first glance, and there was nothing in there. Zuo Feng curiously stuck his head out of the cave and scanned the mountain wall. After confirming that there was only one cave on the mountain wall, he went back in disappointment.

'Could it be that the thing Master mentioned does not exist, or that it was taken away long ago? '

These two thoughts flashed through Zuo Feng's mind, but he quickly shook his head to deny his guess. Master was definitely not the kind of person who would randomly target people for no reason. This cave was so secretive, it would be difficult to discover its existence if someone was not guiding them.

Zuo Feng carefully searched the cave a few times and confirmed that there were no hidden traps. Only then did he prepare to leave with an ugly expression.

However, just as he reached the entrance of the cave and was about to leave, the mountain wall near the cave entrance caught his attention.

Just as he was about to leave, he casually pressed his hand on the mountain wall, and a trace of warmth was emitted from the point of contact of his palm. With this discovery, he was surprised to discover that this stone had been artificially embedded into the mountain wall.

'After arriving at this kind of cave, people would first carefully investigate the cave and ignore the cave entrance instead.

When Zuo Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but admire Teng Xiao Yun's wit.

With this discovery, Zuo Feng immediately became energetic. With a clear goal this time, he quickly found the crack in the rock that was embedded in the wall. He carefully inserted his knife into the rock and worked busily for nearly an hour before he finally dug out the rock.

What Zuo Feng did not expect was that this stone block was even heavier than the same size of iron block. Zuofeng placed the stone block to the side with some difficulty. He fumbled in the square hole, and when he pulled his hand back he was sure there was nothing in it but two books.

Zuo Feng frowned, 'Don't tell me the items that Master mentioned were the two books in my hand.'

He casually flipped through the book in his hand. The first book was a movement technique called "Upwind". The other was a palm technique called "Cloudwave Palm".

Even though Zuo Feng had only roughly looked at them, and had already seen how extraordinary these two martial skills were, no matter how extraordinary these two books were, they should not have anything to do with his own strange transformation.

After pondering for a while, Zuo Feng's gaze finally landed on the square stone block on the ground.

'Looks like the problem might have something to do with this block of stone that can emit warmth.

Two hours had passed. Zuo Feng was sitting on the ground dispiritedly. Although he had the strength of a Body Strengthening Stage Level 4, he had no idea how to deal with this stone block. In this hour, he had tried using his fists to smash and cut, but no matter what he had done, he could not leave a single mark on the stone block.

'The stone block isn't made of gold or jade, and it isn't made of ordinary stone either. To be able to make such a strange object into a square shape, the person who molded the stone block must be very powerful.

Zuo Feng was sure that even his master, Teng Xiao Yun, couldn't do it.

The sun had long since disappeared, leaving only the silvery moonlight behind. Shi Mu heaved a long sigh to the left wind of the stone block in front of him. He hesitated for a while, but he still managed to insert the stone block into the hole on the wall with great effort.

If his cultivation base wasn't high enough, then he hadn't found a way to open the stone block. Although he temporarily gave up on studying this stone block, Zuo Feng felt that the protrusion on his chest was definitely connected to this stone block in some way. Every time his hand touched the stone block, there would be a fluctuation of energy coming from his chest.

'Looks like I can only wait until my cultivation level increases a little before I think of a way to solve this mystery about the stone block. 'Fortunately, at least I can be certain that the miraculous experiences I've gone through have something to do with this stone.'

Zuo Feng followed the vines outside the cave and climbed down. When he jumped into the water, he suddenly remembered that he still had the two important Martial Skill Books in his pocket. He quickly climbed onto the shore and took out the book. What shocked Zuo Feng was that the words on the book were as clear as ever.

Staring at the two books in his hand, Zuo Feng only had one thought in his mind, 'These two martial arts techniques are definitely not simple'.
