Chapter 4: Cave Exploration

Zuo Feng looked shaky, and looking at Teng Fang who was recovering from the breath on the other side, he almost couldn't suppress the urge to laugh out loud.

This was the second time that Teng Fang stopped to recover his spiritual energy. His crazy attack was extremely depleting. Zuo Feng would not take this opportunity to attack, because just after the fierce attack, the spiritual energy in his body began to saturate and began to penetrate into his limbs. Experience told him that his body was about to break through.

Teng Fang only recovered his breath for a moment, then gritted his teeth and mobilized the little spiritual energy to attack. His fists rained down on Zuo Feng, and streams of pure spiritual energy were immediately swallowed up by himself after invading his meridians. Although a large part of the spiritual energy disappeared the moment it invaded, a small part of it flowed into the sea of ​​qi with the flow of his own spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy and strength on the fist became smaller and smaller, until Teng Fang retreated again to recover his breath with a frustrated look on his face. The spiritual energy in Zuo Feng's body finally accumulated to the critical point, and the spiritual energy around Zuo Feng was constantly fluctuating and trembling.

As soon as this phenomenon began, all the spectators were shocked and dazed. You must know that breakthrough is different from other things. It requires both mentality and blood to be in a relatively stable state to complete. In the fierce battle like Zuo Feng, wanting to break through is no different from suicide.

Teng Fang was also stunned by Zuo Feng's situation, but he quickly reacted. If he didn't seize the opportunity in front of him, he would be the one who was almost exhausted.

Gritting his teeth, Teng Fang rushed out quickly before the referee stopped him, and his feet kept dragging on the ground, bringing up a lot of smoke and dust. He mobilized the only spiritual energy and smashed it fiercely towards Zuo Feng's Qi Hai in his lower abdomen.

'Since you dare to break through at this time, it's no wonder that I beat you back to your original disability. '

Teng Fang made up his mind and did it without mercy. Once the Qi Hai was destroyed, Zuo Feng would become a useless person again.

Zuo Feng was about to break through, unable to move at all. He looked at Teng Xiang, who was looking ferocious, with cold eyes and was hitting his lower abdomen. He could only cross his arms to protect his Qi Sea.

"Stop"

"Bang"

The referee's call sounded almost at the same time as the sound of fists and arms hitting each other. In the smoke and dust, Teng Fang's figure swayed and retreated, but Zuo Feng still stood there motionless.

After two short breaths, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated with the breeze. Zuo Feng opened his eyes, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

All the spiritual energy from the previous attack helped him quickly break through the barrier and climb to the fourth level of the strong body period. But it was also because of the interruption at this critical moment that the meridians were still twitching and shaking, sending waves of pain.

Zuo Feng looked at Teng Fang, who was dazed, with cold eyes, stretched out his hand to gently wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

"Have you had enough, are you satisfied?"

As soon as the voice fell, Zuo Feng's body moved. He was not as imposing as Fujita, but walked forward leisurely like a leisurely stroll in the garden.

At this time, everyone around was completely shocked. They could understand Zuo Feng's recovery, but he could break through in the fight, which was completely beyond their understanding.

Even the referee who had just stopped him loudly was now completely stunned.

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

Zuo Feng ignored him at all, with a warm smile on his face. He raised his right fist gently and stretched it forward, and the seemingly powerless right fist hit Fujita's face.

With a crisp sound of fracture, Fujita hit his face with his twisted arm. The huge force made him fall back, and finally fell to the ground because of the unstable center of gravity. He rolled on the ground several times before the force was dissipated and stopped his momentum.

The surroundings immediately rang with a "hissing" sound of sucking cold air. Who would have thought that the boy who had lost all his cultivation a year ago could suddenly recover. It was even more unexpected that this boy could rise to a higher level in the battle. Moreover, judging from the power of this punch, it even has the destructive power of the seventh or eighth level of the Strong Body Stage.

Zuo Feng walked slowly to the side of the field as if he had done something insignificant, and the crowd automatically split to the sides to make way. The square of hundreds of people was silent, and no young man was stupid enough to challenge Zuo Feng, so they just watched Zuo Feng leave the square.

Zuo Feng, dressed in black, was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed by the pool below the waterfall. Four hours had passed since the battle in the morning, and Zuo Feng did not stay in the village for long, but came here immediately.

The injuries caused by external interference during Zuo Feng's breakthrough were much more serious than he expected. Fortunately, the strange bulge on his chest fluctuated again. This time, the fluctuation did not increase his strength, but it had a strong healing property. If it were someone else, it would probably leave a hidden danger that could never be recovered.

Feng Feng spit out a small mouthful of purple-black blood, and his face turned pale for a while, and then gradually became ruddy. These purple-black bloods were all left after the meridians were damaged by the interference of Teng Fang during the breakthrough.

When Zuo Feng opened his eyes again after being closed for a long time, he had made up his mind that he would never dare to try to break through in battle again. The pain and danger in this are really not worth telling to outsiders.

He looked slightly to the side, and the waterfall about five meters wide hung high on the cliff like a silver curtain. He chose to come here to adjust his breath and recover, so as to find out what was going on in the cave behind the waterfall as soon as possible.

Although Teng Xiaoyun had asked him not to come here again, he also told him to deal with the items in the cave by himself. Zuo Feng was not greedy for the items inside, but it might involve his own strange changes. If he didn't figure it out, Zuo Feng would never give up.

He tried many times under the waterfall, but the slippery mountain wall and dense moss made it impossible for him to climb up, so he had to choose to hang a vine rope from above the waterfall.

When Zuo Feng's thin body entered the cave against the rapids of the waterfall, he immediately collapsed. Even with his current strength of the fourth level of strong body, he was still almost hit by the water flow and fell into the pool below.

After panting for a while, Zuo Feng sat up and looked around. The cave was not very deep. It was only about three or four feet deep. Although the sun was setting outside, the orange light could clearly see everything in the cave through the water curtain.

The cave was not big and could be seen at a glance. It was empty and there was no item stored in it. Zuo Feng poked his head out of the cave with a little doubt, searched around the mountain wall, and after confirming that there was only this cave on the mountain wall, he retreated with some disappointment.

‘Could it be that the thing that the master said does not exist, or has it been taken away long ago? ’

These two thoughts flashed through Zuo Feng’s mind, but he soon shook his head and denied his guess. The master is definitely not the kind of person who shoots without a purpose. This cave is so secret that it would be difficult to find the existence of the cave if no one pointed it out.

Zuo Feng carefully searched the cave several times and confirmed that there was no secret compartment at all. Then he prepared to leave with a grim face.

But just as he walked to the entrance of the cave and was about to leave, the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave caught his attention.

When he was about to leave, he pressed on the mountain wall with his hand, and there was a trace of warmth where his palm touched. With this discovery, he observed carefully and was surprised to find that this stone was actually embedded in the mountain wall by humans.

‘When people come to such a cave, they will first carefully check the cave, but will ignore the entrance of the cave. ’

When Zuo Feng thought of this, he could not help but admire Teng Xiaoyun's wit.

With this discovery, Zuo Feng immediately became energetic again. This time he had a clear goal, and soon he found the gap in the stone. He carefully inserted the knife into the gap, and it took him nearly half an hour to dig out the stone.

What Zuo Feng did not expect was that this stone pier was heavier than an iron block of the same size. Zuo Feng put the stone pier aside with great effort. After groping in the square hole for a while, when he withdrew his hand, he had confirmed that there was nothing else in it except two books.

Zuo Feng frowned, 'Could it be that the items that the master said were the two books in his hand. '

He casually flipped through the books in his hand. One was a body movement martial arts called "Going Against the Wind". The other was a palm movement martial arts called "Cloud Wave Palm".

Although he only took a cursory look, Zuo Feng had already seen the extraordinaryness of these two martial arts, but no matter how extraordinary these two books were, they should not have any connection with his own strange changes.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Feng's eyes finally fell on the square stone pillar on the ground.

'It seems that the problem is likely to be related to this stone pillar that emits a warm breath. '

An hour later, Zuo Feng sat on the ground dejectedly. Although he has the strength of the fourth level of the Strong Body Stage, he is at a loss when facing this stone pillar. This hour, he tried to hit it with his fists and chop it with a knife, but he couldn't leave even a trace on the stone pillar.

'The stone pillar is not gold, jade, or ordinary stone. To be able to make such a strange object into a neat square shape, then what kind of cultivation must the person who shaped this stone pillar have. '

Zuo Feng can at least be sure that even Master Teng Xiaoyun can't do it.

At this time, the sun has long disappeared, and only the silver-white moonlight comes through the waterfall. Zuo Feng sighed at the stone pillar in front of him, and after a little hesitation, he still struggled to insert the stone pillar into the hole on the cave wall again.

If it wasn't that his cultivation was not enough, then he hadn't found the way to open this stone pillar. Although he temporarily gave up studying the stone pillar, Zuo Feng felt that the bulge on his chest was definitely related to the stone pillar. Because every time he pressed his palm on the stone pillar, there would be a wave in his chest.

‘It seems that I can only wait until my cultivation level is improved in the future to find a way to solve the mystery of this stone pillar. Fortunately, at least I can be sure that my wonderful experiences are indeed related to this stone pillar. ’

Zuo Feng climbed down along the long vine outside the cave. When he jumped into the pool, he suddenly remembered that the two important martial arts books were still in his arms. He quickly climbed ashore and took out the books. What shocked Zuo Feng was that the handwriting on the books was as clear as before.

Looking blankly at the two books in his hands, Zuo Feng had only one thought in his mind: ‘These two martial arts books are definitely not simple.’
