7: Ice-Fire Vein Fragments!

...

Li fan grabbed his sword and left the outer sect area once again, this time he was planning on training his martial skills and cultivating at the same time.

By now Li Fei had already left to go back to the Li clan, as a core disciple she now could leave the sect whenever, except for important events in the sect.

Swoosh!!

Li fan was like a phantom as he rushed throughout the forest, only leaving his shadow behind.

He was slowly going to test the limits of his current strength!

North west of the outer sect, there was said to be a mountain-shaking ape roaming the area, this ape was said to be of at-least at the peak of the 4th stage.

Many rumors were spread out by disciples, you would be surprised to know of all the weird things Li Fan had heard throughout these 3 days.

ROARR...

A earth- shattering roar was heard as Li fan traversed throughout the forest, the roar was enough to shake the lands, Li Fan even felt strange vibrations on his skin.

With a leap Li fan jumped over a large tree, his body as nimble as a swallow as he leaped atop the trees, from branch to branch.

"F*ck" Li Fan suddenly exclaimed, he felt a strong surge of killing intent shot towards his direction, as if a bloody beast was looking at him.

"So it was the ape" Li Fan smirked as he descended, the silverback ape glaring at him as it heavily pounded its chest.

Bang!!

Bang!!

As it shook the ground with its fist it shot out like a meteor, it's terrifying might crashing into Li fan..

"You dare to go head on against me?" Li Fan didn't even pull out his sword, he also roared with strength and shot at the ape..

Boom!!

Li Fan continuously clashed with the mountain-shaking ape, his body stood firm as he fiercely rammed into its body.

The ape seemed to be in a lot more pain than Li fan.

"Amazing!" Li Fan exclaimed, he felt the slight pierced of pain in his muscles, but to think that an ape slightly bigger than him was actually roaring in pain after being slammed into by his human body.

Boom!!

Li fan's fist erupted out like an arrow, immediately landing on the black ape, causing it to get sent flying, crashing into a large tree..

Swoosh!!

Boom!!

With another step Li fan heavily kicked the ape in its stomach, causing the tree behind it to shatter and crack as the body of the ape shattered it..

Looking at the bloodied ape with its stomach caved in by his kick, Li Fan smiled.

His current strength rivaled even 5th stage demonic beasts, the only problem was that 5th stage demonic beasts were hard to find around the outer sect perimeter, they usually wouldn't come too close.

So it was difficult to try his strength against 5th stage beasts.

At the same time he couldn't leave too far away from the sect perimeter, or else he might really die.

The mountain-shaking ape slowly died due to its blood loss, giving Li Fan a boost in his cultivation.

...

Throughout the whole day, Li Fan had killed and bodied so many beasts, most which were instantly killed at the 3rd stage.

His cultivation getting closer to another breakthrough, Li Fan then decided to spend the rest of his time cultivating the two martial skills he currently had.

The sound of a waterfall was heard, under the pressure of this waterfall, Li fan sat under the waterfall, completely shirtless.

Water was extremely powerful, especially one coming from a waterfall, if he wasn't currently cultivating the jade-body sutra, his bones would have definitely been smashed to pieces by the force alone.

Li fan controlled his cultivation and breathing as he felt his body shake from the impact of the waterfall.

Even though he felt like he was pushing himself, since he had the system and everything, could he always rely on the system?

Yes he could, but he could gain twice the strength if he neared the pain of true cultivation.

Li fan leaped out of the waterfall and stood on a boulder, he was staring deep into the small lake under the waterfall.

He was getting a strange feeling, as if something was below this pond.

Li fan sat down atop the boulder to regain his energy, he was planning on diving below to check it out.

It was like a strange feeling of forgetting something, and his senses would always move to the bottom of the lake.

With his cultivation of the jade-body sutra, he could definitely hold his breath longer than normal humans.

But even so the water was extremely cold, and the lower he went the colder it would get.

" I should be fine" Li fan removed his pants before preparing to dive down to check it out.

Splash!!

With a loud splash he jumped into the water, trying to hold his breath!

Back on earth he could barely hold his breath under water for 30 seconds, yet now he was easily diving down this lake.

"I could probably survive under this water for nearly 30 minutes" he thought, which was incredible, considering the world record on earth was around 18 minutes and 30 seconds..

Swoosh!!

Li Fan calmly swam down to the bottom of the lake, he was looking around all over trying to find that same strange feeling.

[Ice-Fire vein (fragments)] a message appeared in front of him, startling Li Fan.

"There was a spiritual vein here?" Spiritual veins were extremely valuable to cultivation, the soaring cloud sect had one, but it was extremely large.

Even though these were only fragments it was still a lot of Li Fan.

[host, would you like to use this ice-fire vein to cultivate your jade-body sutra, or aid to cultivation] the system asked with a notification..

"I can use it to cultivate the jade-body sutra?" Li Fan had a look of amazement on hiss face as he held his breath.

His current cultivation didn't matter much, since he would break through tomorrow possibly.

To the current Li Fan, body refining was extremely life saving.
