Chapter 56 Li Wei
In the lower part of Lancheng, the night was as thick as ink.
The continuous acid rain poured down, like a net covering the entire night.
Li Wei exhaled his last breath, tidied himself up briefly, and then left home.
"Xiaowei, where are you going so late?"
It was late at night, but the lights outside the house were still on. Li Wei's parents were huddled in a small warehouse by the door, and in front of them was an old spaceship hull covered in oil stains.
"I'm going out for a bit, something's come up." Li Wei smiled. "Dad, Mom, you should go to bed early too."
"Be careful on the road. Tomorrow is the monthly exam, right? Remember to come back early." Li Wei's father wiped the sweat from his eyes and chuckled without asking why Li Wei had gone out.
The Li family had been ordinary people for three generations, so they naturally cherished this son who had been raised with great difficulty.
"Xiao Wei".
Li Wei's mother also helped herself up, looking at the heavy rain outside the window. She wiped the oil stains from her hands, her face showing some worry. "You've grown up, you're a martial artist now. There are some things your parents shouldn't ask too much about, but..."
She opened her mouth, but looking into Li Wei's eyes, she couldn't say a word. She could only say, "It's raining outside, take care of yourself."
"I understand." Li Wei nodded, reassuringly adding, "It won't be too late."
With those words, he didn't hesitate any longer and plunged headlong into the vast rain.
After traveling through several turns and passing through alley after alley in the lower city, he stopped in front of a mottled wooden door.
On the wooden door, several words were neatly written in white paint:
"Free distribution of clean water resources".
It was a mission site for the Voodoo sect.
"call......"
Taking a deep breath, Li Wei saw the reflection of his parents in his eyes. Unlike dozens of times before, this time he did not hesitate at all. He pushed open the half-closed wooden door and stepped into the deep darkness without looking back.
........
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the training room, the temperature was volatile, like flames, and even the air was visibly distorted due to the high temperature.
"Sizzle..."
Freezing spray came from all directions, and when it came into contact with Jiang Feng, who was shirtless, it was instantly evaporated into nothingness.
He stared at the alloy pillar in front of him, his surging Darkblood within him surging wildly, transforming into streams of true fire that condensed in his palm.
The next moment, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and with a low shout, he thrust both palms forward.
"break!"
A giant palm print, over a meter tall, shot out from the hand. What was truly astonishing was that around this palm print, fifteen lifelike fire dragons roared forth!
The dragon formed from the divine dragon's flames has now become a physical entity!
With the bonus from this set, the fifteen fire dragons exploded the moment they touched the stake in front of them, turning into countless tiny fire meteors that bounced wildly off it!
The next moment, for what seemed like the umpteenth time, a pale blue halo appeared on the surface of the entire training room, absorbing all the flame power that had dissipated into the air and preventing the room from being destroyed.
If someone were present, they would be astonished to discover that, with each palm strike from Jiang Feng, cracks began to spread across the extremely defensive pale blue aura. Only with the desperate reinforcement of the array's central core did it barely recover.
On the panel, the final percentage signifying the breakthrough of the Heaven-Burning Palm surged forward with a roar!
"Burning Heaven Palm, Great Perfection".
Jiang Feng's eyes gleamed, but he did not withdraw his true fire power. He then activated it again, and in a few moments, a layer of crimson flame shield enveloped his entire body, like a solid magma wall, with mysterious flame patterns flowing on it, looking extremely sturdy.
"The Crimson Rock Shield has been fully cultivated to its complete form, and fire patterns have appeared on it... It has also reached its peak!"

----
"Cool!"
Jiang Feng let out a long breath and wiped the sweat off his body.
In the three days, apart from the most basic rest, he used every minute and second to practice these two martial arts techniques.
With the combined blessing of the True Dragon Soul and the Divine Dragon Flame, he finally achieved his goal.
Next... he glanced at the date on his phone.
The monthly exam is tomorrow!
.........
That evening, the Voodoo sect.
After midnight, a few scattered figures emerged from the old movie theater.
Two of the figures were Li Wei and Zhou Du.
Tonight, Li Wei was completely different from usual. Around his body, an uncontrollable crimson mist slowly floated, making him look extremely sinister.
"Not bad, Xiao Li." Zhou Du saw Li Wei out the door with a smile on his face.
"I've been in our sect for over a decade, and as far as I know, you're the first newcomer who dared to proactively request the Blood of God from the High Priest and successfully adapt... Heh heh."
Zhou Du smiled warmly on the surface, but deep down he was quite afraid of the high school student in front of him.
"Blood of God" sounds nice, but to put it bluntly... it's just the power of that stuff.
The thought of the terrifying skeleton that Ku Gu had mentioned earlier sent shivers down Zhou Du's spine.
"Heh...heh..."
The moment Li Wei opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and rough, reminding Zhou Du of the desolate desert.
"Brother Zhou, I'll have to rely on you a lot more in the future."
after?
Zhou Du's expression was complicated. He thought to himself, "If you keep going like this... how many more years do you have left?"
The skeleton had few side effects as he had described; it was just a joke.
But outwardly, he still raised his hands and then... cupped them in a respectful gesture.
"Heh...heh..."
Li Wei felt quite satisfied with Zhou Du's appearance.
In just three days, he had already become a martial artist at the fifth level of Body Tempering, and even in terms of aptitude, he had long since reached the Profound Bone level.
What's even more terrifying is that, thanks to the boost from that power, his true combat strength... is probably enough to put him in a fighting chance even against a martial artist at the Spirit Bone level.
And the price of all this... heh, is just a little pollution.
As long as I can get to the ruins of King Wu and obtain the opportunities within, these so-called pollution problems will definitely be solved.
Right?
Thinking of this, the slight panic in his heart finally subsided completely. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Zhou Du, he disappeared into the night.
.......
The following morning, at Donglin No. 13 Middle School.
Central Martial Arts Ground.
The usually deserted training ground was now bustling with activity, as thousands of teachers and students from the entire school gathered there. On the high platform directly in front of the training ground, the principal and a group of senior instructors sat quietly, watching the 207 students who were about to take the exam.
This year's monthly exam will be the most important one Donglin No. 13 High School has ever held in decades!
This assessment directly determined the twenty extremely precious spots for "King Wu's Relics"!
The special platoon's formation was at the very front.
The new mentor, Fang Ruo, was dressed in a dark red outfit, arms crossed, her cold and beautiful eyes revealing a detached and aloof demeanor.
Her gaze swept over Jiang Feng and the other two in a very subtle way, a cold smile appearing on her lips.
"This monthly exam... I'll make sure you all pay with your lives for Xiao Xiao!"
