Chapter 527 - 319: Rebirth After the Calamity

Chapter 527: Chapter 319: Rebirth After the Calamity

He estimated Mr. Yan would need more time to awaken. The reconstruction and fine-tuning of a spiritual world couldn’t be rushed, but everything was progressing well, which was the best possible outcome.

Yu Fei circled Yan Hai twice, then thought for a moment before taking out a large pod. He filled it with nutrient solution and moved Yan Hai inside.

Mr. Yan’s body was actually severely depleted. Dharma Idol Grandmasters consumed even more energy than Grandmasters who followed the Domain Path.

Today’s events had been perilous. If Yu Fei had arrived three to five days later, both of them would likely have died. Even with his timely arrival, treating Yan Hai’s condition was incredibly risky. Anyone else would probably have been helpless.

’Old man! What on earth were you trying to do?’

While he waited, he took a set of kitchen utensils from his storage space and set them up in a few quick motions. He then took out some pre-prepared ingredients and, following a recipe he’d gotten from Xiaohai, began to figure out how to cook on the spot.

Since advancing to the Gang Qi Realm, his Inner Qi had been transforming into Gang Qi at an extremely fast rate. He estimated he could reach Gang Qi Perfection in another month, at which point he could begin his attempt to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Yu Fei had already cleared all obstacles before the Grandmaster’s Dragon Gate. His sea of consciousness had long been opened, and it was far stronger than an ordinary Grandmaster’s. Having cultivated the Great Sun Glaze Body ahead of schedule, it was considered a top-tier dharma body even among Grandmaster Martial Artists.

All that was left was to reach Gang Qi Perfection and sublimate it into True Essence. Then, he could cross the Grandmaster’s Dragon Gate in a single step. According to Ye Shuping’s estimation, at that point, not even a Martial Saint would be able to stop a teleporting Yu Fei.

Thinking about it, his combat power would be enough to crush any Great Grandmaster, and he’d have a fifty-fifty chance against any Martial Saint.

Yu Fei couldn’t kill a Martial Saint, but a Martial Saint couldn’t kill him either.

Only then would he gain true, initial freedom.

「Two days later.」

A bored Yu Fei was staring blankly at a high-grade slab of Cyan Python Bull tenderloin, pondering how to cook it.

The Cyan Python Bull was a rare, high-tier breed of beef cattle from the Cyan Field and was quite valuable.

The environment there was said to be extremely suitable for ranching, and with no interference from other races. The Cyan Field was the private territory of Xinghai University, which had established various ranches there. Thanks to human intervention, the Cyan Python Bulls had no natural predators and were able to thrive.

It was a peculiar type of beef cattle. After twenty years of growth, the energy density in its meat could reach the high-tier, yet the Cyan Python Bull was so docile that even a human Inner Qi Martial Artist could slaughter one.

Yu Fei didn’t have much of it in his storage space. The meat was in high demand, and he had only managed to stockpile a batch by using the Shenxiao Corps’ channels.

After mulling it over, Yu Fei decided to use the most primitive cooking method.

Roast!

With a flash of Sword Qi, he sliced the beef into uniform pieces about three centimeters thick. For a master of Swordsmanship, this was a simple task.

Although he often relied on brute force in battle—using his teleportation and space-penetrating abilities to mindlessly hack at enemies—that didn’t mean his Swordsmanship was lacking.

Against opponents of the same or slightly higher cultivation realm, Yu Fei’s overwhelming power was unstoppable. But against enemies like Tier 8 Yuan Demons or Great Grandmasters, fancy Swordsmanship was useless.

An absolute difference in power had to be crushed by an absolute advantage in mechanics.

Then, Yu Fei ignited a flame. Using his innate fire-control talent, he manipulated the flame to create a high-temperature field of over a thousand degrees and quickly seared the steaks.

The Cyan Python Bull meat contained such a high level of energy that ordinary flames were completely ineffective.

After searing for ten minutes, Yu Fei basted the meat with oil, lowered the temperature, and roasted it for another five. He then took it out and spread it with a special black pepper and fluorescent mushroom sauce from the Firefly Forest. A glowing steak was ready!

"Hmm?"

Just as he finished preparing the ten or so steaks, Su Yue’s Healing Pod suddenly beeped. The door slid open and she leaped out. Amidst a cloud of steam, she emerged with a rosy complexion, her clothes perfectly dry.

Any residual medicinal fluid was instantly evaporated by her surging True Essence, leaving a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.

Su Yue first took a moment to assess her own condition, then walked straight toward Yu Fei.

"How did you get here?! I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, Mr. Yan and I would have been doomed."

She had actually woken up several hours ago. Due to the nature of her Cultivation Technique, she had been in a half-awake, half-dreaming state, but that hadn’t stopped her from perceiving the outside world.

Su Yue quickly pieced together what had happened. She remembered finding this hidden cave with Yan Hai before collapsing into a coma from her injuries. At the time, she had been extremely worried. In such a complicated environment, she knew it would be difficult for a lone Dharma Idol Grandmaster like Yan Hai to handle the situation.

Without her concealment abilities, if Yan Hai went outside, he would have been discovered by the hordes of wandering Wing Demons and Spider Demons, which would have attracted the attention of the Yuan Demon royalty.

But staying trapped here would have been a death sentence.

Feeling pessimistic, Su Yue had even thought she might never wake up. In the vastness of Pingsha Ridge, it would be nearly impossible for a search and rescue team to find them, even if one were sent.

She never would have imagined that Yu Fei would be the one to rescue them. She hadn’t seen him in just a few short years, yet his power had already become so immense.

To Su Yue’s senses, although Yu Fei was still in the Gang Qi Realm, his aura was incredibly powerful. Lingering around him was the resentment left behind by many powerful beings he had killed—a fact her unique perceptive ability could discern.

Even though Yu Fei was the combat class monitor for Shenhan University’s Celestial Pride Class, Su Yue couldn’t comprehend how he had become so powerful.

Their own class monitor back in the day had been more than a notch weaker in comparison.
