Chapter 273 Reach For The Stars
Han Fei resisted for about five minutes, but the power of the flame did not weaken. Therefore, Han Fei simply gave up resisting.
After his spiritual energy protective cover was shattered, Han Fei sat cross-legged and began to practice the Indestructible Body Art. Since being struck by lightning last time, Han Fei hadn’t made any progress in the Indestructible Body Art.
He didn’t want to practice it because the art consumed too much spiritual energy, unlike before when he was still a fis.h.i.+ng master, he could refine his skin with only tens of thousands of points of spiritual energy.
However, since being struck by lightning last time, his entire physique had been improved by a level, and his flesh, bones, and marrow had all been tempered evenly.
Having paid such a high price, Han Fei certainly couldn’t let this flame really burn his skin and flesh away. If he only had a skeleton left, could he still live? He began to practice the Indestructible Body Art, but half an hour later, his clothes were burned out, so was his hair. His skin had been burnt away but no blood flowed out.
That was because he had been burned and charred.
At this time, the flame began to abate. Under the charred skin, new skin grew.
Thinking about it for a moment, Han Fei figured out why the flame let up. This fire was also a kind of energy and the heat came from the energy. Since he used this energy to temper his skin and flesh, the flame would certainly subside.
Of course, if he used spiritual energy to offset this energy, it was not worthwhile and would consume a lot of spiritual energy as well…
Two hours later.
Han Fei changed his skin.
One day later.
The flame was no longer burning. Han Fei didn’t know how many times he had changed his skin, and the old skins and flesh turned into flame energy that covered his body.
Three days had pa.s.sed.
When the last bit of flame was burned out, Han Fei couldn’t help being shocked. This flame was really powerful! The small ma.s.s of fire burned for three days and three nights despite the fact that he had been consuming its energy. How much energy did it contain? Han Fei got up and soot fell all over the ground. Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. This was not crust but his old flesh and skin!
However, fortunately, Han Fei found that he had lost a lot of weight. At that second, he took a deep breath. Finally! He became thin again!
Although Han Fei didn’t know exactly how well his skin was tempered, he could feel that his flesh and veins seemed to be tougher. He wanted to find someone to fight to try it out.
“Haha, I’m handsome again!”
Han Fei was overjoyed. He vaguely remembered that Old Jiang once told him that he could become thin again when he became a peak-level great fis.h.i.+ng master. But now, he returned to his original figure in advance. Now he had a very “proportional” figure.
Han Fei took a change of clothes from Forge the Universe and put them on, but suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.
Han Fei touched his head and was stunned.
“No! Where is my hair?”
Han Fei cried. He became bald?! That was really too much…
He immediately gathered spiritual energy on top of his head. However, to his despair, his hair still didn’t grow!
“F*ck… What the h.e.l.l is this f*cking place? Give my hair back! Which son of a b.i.t.c.h put this fish here? Come out! I’m gonna kill you!”
Han Fei was desperate. I used to be fat, but I still had hair, but now, I’m bald, which is even worse!
Han Fei had been trying for a whole hour, but still no hair appeared on his head. It seemed that something was hindering the growth of his hair.
Finally, Han Fei accepted reality. He found a piece of dark red cloth from Forge the Universe, refined a bandana, and wrapped it on his head.
Han Fei muttered, “My hair will definitely grow out. It’s okay. I’ll ask the president about it when I go back.”
The stone fish was gone, but the seal had still not been removed. Han Fei looked up, shot out a fis.h.i.+ng line, and wrapped it around the pillar.
Whoosh…
Han Fei climbed up the pillar, and after climbing for a long while, he finally stood on the top of the pillar.
However, to his surprise, the pillar did not reach the top. Now, he was about fifty or sixty meters above the ground and the other pillars were much higher than the one he climbed.
He looked up, only to find that those flas.h.i.+ng light spots were still far away. However, he could vaguely see some of them, which were small glowing b.a.l.l.s. Among them, some glowing b.a.l.l.s seemed to be floating towards Han Fei consciously and fell a hundred meters away. This distance was precisely the range that the fis.h.i.+ng hook could reach.
Huh? Shall I fish for these b.a.l.l.s?
Han Fei thought for a while but didn’t make a move. He climbed the first pillar, which was the shortest one. Then he waved his fis.h.i.+ng rod and wrapped it around another pillar.
With a swoosh, Han Fei jumped onto the second pillar. However, this time, he felt a pressure pressing on him. This felt a bit like the pressure he felt when he was walking on the chain.
“Haha! How can I be held down by such little pressure?”
Han Fei threw the fis.h.i.+ng hook twice and reached the top of this pillar.
This second pillar was about 50 meters higher than the first. This time, he saw it more clearly. The little stars that were originally more than a hundred meters away from him had become larger b.a.l.l.s. There seemed to be something in every ball.
“No, I need to climb another pillar.”
This time, Han Fei felt that the pressure on his body was greater. When he climbed to the top, he finally saw clearly the glowing b.a.l.l.s ten meters away.
In the glowing ball closest to him, there was a spear, silver and s.h.i.+ning.
Han Fei took out the Snow Silver Rod and compared it with the spear in the glowing ball. They seemed a bit similar.
Huh! This place is really special. There was an opportunity outside the door, although it was more like a test. And the iron chain must be the second test. After the iron chain, there is the third test in the first palace. Every time I pa.s.s a test, I get an opportunity. In other words, there are actually three tests and three opportunities!
Han Fei frowned. He thought of the stone fish. Could ordinary people handle that stuff? Han Fei could be sure that Luo Xiaobai would definitely not be able to handle it because they conflicted in elemental nature.
Then Han Fei wondered if he didn’t touch the stone fish, would it not have come to life? He was a bit worried, wondering if the others also encountered the same stone fish…
Han Fei looked at the spear but did not intend to take it. This spear didn’t look better than the Snow Silver Rod in his hand. It would not be worth it if he just got this spear after being burnt for three days and three nights!
Han Fei continued to climb up.
The fourth pillar.
The fifth.
The sixth.
When Han Fei climbed to the sixth pillar, his body felt an extra thousand pounds of pressure.
“Nine Tails, attach.”
This time, Han Fei didn’t use the fis.h.i.+ng rod. At the sixth pillar, the fis.h.i.+ng rod could barely hold him, so he was sure the fis.h.i.+ng rod could no longer hold him on the seventh pillar.When the nine-star chain attached to the seventh pillar, Han Fei felt something suddenly pressing on him and he slid five or six meters down.
“Wanna push me down? No way.”
On the seventh pillar, Han Fei glanced at those brilliant b.a.l.l.s and then ignored them. There was still another pillar!
“Little Gold, attach…”
Han Fei spread his wings and the nine-star chain fastened to the eighth pillar. He just wanted to fly over, only to be pressed down by a sudden pressure, and he almost fell down. Thanks to the nine-star chain, Han Fei hung upside down on the pillar, panting.
“Hoho, the highest pillar must have the best treasure.”
Han Fei straightened up with difficulty and moved up step by step. He wanted to fly up, but the pressure was so great that he couldn’t fly.
Han Fei was sweating profusely. “Even if I can’t use my wings, I still have claws and the chain. Worst case, I can move up inch by inch!”
