Chapter 139 Red Talent
As Ye Feng's voice faded.
The system notification tone also sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the red talent: Fivefold Enhancement!]
[Ding! This skill can enhance the host's physical attributes fivefold, comprehensively improving the host's health and mental strength!]
[Ding! Host's body is being enhanced!]
"No wonder this Silver Star Rank 6 has seven or eight million HP! It's all because of this talent skill!"
"But now I'm in luck!"
[Ding! Host's Qi and Blood Points: 5000000]
"Holy crap, he's about to break through to the sixth rank!"
"Systematically study Volume 6 of Stellar Transformation and Volume 6 of Taiyin Soul Refining Technique."
"Luckily, I already redeemed it with my military merits!"
"However, the next step requires studying at a Taoist academy!"
"What a hassle!"
[Ding! Learning successful! The skill proficiency has reached perfection!]
[Ding! Host's martial arts cultivation has broken through to the sixth-tier Martial Saint realm]
[Ding! Host's mental strength: 500000 points]
[Ding! Host's mental cultivation has broken through to the sixth-tier Martial Saint realm!]
"Holy crap, my mental strength has increased more than fivefold!"
Ye Feng's mental energy was already three times more refined than that of an ordinary mental energy master.
This 500,000 units of mental power is equivalent to 1.5 million units of ordinary mental energy.
This terrifying mental power has reached the level of an early-stage Martial God.
A tremendous power surged forth from the depths of his body.
Ye Feng's body began to emit a golden light.
The people in the stands were blinded by the sudden light.
Ouyang Tian covered his eyes with his hand, his voice trembling.
"Is he about to break through?"
Ouyang Nan squinted and slowly nodded.
"It's not just a breakthrough. Look at the unusual phenomena on his body; some kind of innate skill has been activated."
"Talent?" Ouyang Tian was taken aback.
"Can talent skills be activated a second time?"
The changes within Ye Feng's body continued.
The dantian was the first to change.
A vast amount of vital energy and blood gathered within, slowly forming a golden core of vital energy and blood.
Blue spiritual energy converged on his blood and qi crystal core.
A blue dragon appeared on the surface of the crystal core.
Cao Keyuan sat in the stands and stared at Ye Feng for a long time.
Ouyang Tian pinched his thigh.
"Grandpa, his current blood and qi levels..." Ouyang Tian exclaimed in shock.
Ouyang Nan closed his eyes and extended his spiritual power.
Then he opened his eyes, his expression changed, and his lips trembled.
Five million.
"What?" Ouyang Tian's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.
"Five million. I just broke through to the sixth rank, and my Qi and Blood value has already reached five million." Ouyang Nan took a deep breath.
"An ordinary martial artist at the early stage of the sixth rank has between 200,000 and 300,000 health points. Those with exceptional talent can reach 500,000. He has reached 5 million."
Ouyang Tian's mind went blank for a moment.
Five million!
It is twenty times that of a normal sixth-order early stage.
This is the same amount of health and vitality as a typical mid-stage seventh-tier Venerable.
"What about his mental strength?" Ouyang Tian asked through gritted teeth.
Ouyang Nan was silent for a moment, then held up two fingers: "At least two hundred thousand."
Two hundred thousand units of spiritual power, plus five million units of vital energy.
Ye Feng's current strength can no longer be measured by the "sixth rank".
On the stands, Zhao Gongming stared at Ye Feng for a long time.
He is a mid-stage seventh-tier Venerable, the strongest being in the Mountain and River Prefecture.
At that moment, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
That was the life-or-death struggle between this young man, Ye Feng, and himself.
He should be the one who dies in the end.
An elderly general with gray hair stood up from the stands, his voice loud but tinged with confusion.
"Ye Feng has broken through to the sixth rank? Isn't the sixth rank supposed to require comprehending 'Intent'? Why didn't I see any extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth when comprehending 'Intent'?"
This question revealed the confusion of everyone present.
The sixth rank is a major watershed on the path of a martial artist.
The transition from the fifth to the sixth level involves not only the accumulation of Qi and blood, and the strengthening of the body, but most importantly...
"meaning"!
To master a martial art to its fullest extent, one must touch the edge of the rules of heaven and earth.
Then, one incorporates their own will into it, forming a unique "intention" of their own.
This process resonates with the heavens and earth, producing extraordinary phenomena. When someone breaks through, their sword energy soars into the sky.
When someone breaks through, sword energy surges forth.
But when Ye Feng broke through just now, there was nothing there, only a ball of golden light.
Zhao Gongming spoke.
"Perhaps he took a different path than others."
"He proved his truth through force."
"Look at his blood energy value, it has reached five million right after breaking through, and his mental strength is also terrifyingly high."
"He doesn't rely on 'intention'; he uses the simplest, yet most difficult, path."
"One force can overcome all techniques. No matter what your 'intention' is, no matter what your moves are, I will cut you down with one strike."
One force can overcome all methods.
It's just five simple words, but very few people can actually do it.
The golden light finally dissipated completely, and the changes within Ye Feng's body subsided.
He opened his eyes.
Five million units of vital energy surged within his body, while two hundred thousand units of spiritual energy swirled in his mind.
His strength has increased several times over.
If he were to face off against Silver Star again now...
He doesn't even need to gather his strength for a strike.
He could have killed that mechanical prince with just his sword-drawing technique.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and raised his head.
Zhao Gongming stood up from the platform.
"Gentlemen."
"Ye Feng has rendered great service to Jiangcheng, Haicheng, and Shanhe Prefecture. This prefecture hereby announces that Ye Feng shall assume the position of Lord of Jiangcheng."
A low murmur arose from the audience.
Ye Feng killed three half-step seventh-level dragons, seven sixth-level beast kings, and recovered three hundred miles of his homeland.
Who among you here has this merit?
In terms of combat power, he just killed the sixth-tier peak mechanical race prince with a single strike.
Who among you here possesses this level of combat power?
Zhao Gongming paused for a moment, then continued.
"Given Ye Feng's exceptional contributions, I have decided to appoint him as the Grand Commander of Shanhe Prefecture!"
The audience erupted in chaos.
The Grand Commander of Shanhe Prefecture is one of the most crucial positions in Shanhe Prefecture.
Although he only controlled the army in the prefectural city, he did not have direct command over the armies in other garrison cities.
But everyone in Shanhe Prefecture knew this.
What does the position of President mean?
That is the successor to the next lord of the manor.
Zhao Gongming is grooming Ye Feng to become the head of the manor.
This means that the future of Shanhe Prefecture is being handed over to Ye Feng.
"An eighteen-year-old heir to the manor?" someone asked in a low voice, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
"A genius is a genius. Becoming the city lord at eighteen was already an exceptional achievement, and now he's directly promoted to Grand Commander!"
"To be fair, Ye Feng may be a bit young, but his skills are undeniable."
Ye Feng's "youth" will soon become his greatest asset.
What were other people doing when they were eighteen?
Studying, practicing, and participating in competitions at the academy.
When Ye Feng was eighteen, he had already killed hundreds of thousands of alien beasts on the border.
After Zhao Gongming finished reading the appointment, he turned around and glanced at Ye Feng.
"Thank you for your kind words, Lord!"
Ye Feng certainly wouldn't refuse!
He still has many slots available for the Killing Lord.
How can one legitimately command an army to increase their kill count without military power?
Zhao Gongming was very pleased and turned to look at the audience.
"Everyone, disperse!"
Everyone stood up.
A figure in a black cloak quietly left the venue the moment Ye Feng broke through.
He walked very fast, almost jogging.
He had to get the message back as soon as possible.
Ye Feng has broken through!
The combat power has increased at least several times, and the target's strength needs to be reassessed.
"He killed the Silver Star Vice Commander with a single strike before even breaking through!"
"Wouldn't I be able to rival the strength of a half-step eighth-tier Martial Emperor after breaking through?"
"We must hurry back and inform Commander Silvermoon!"
"Our plans must be moved up immediately!"
