Chapter 805

Zi Chen's power had not broken through yet, but as he refined the Fruit of Strength, he released a strong pressure. This pressure was comparable to that of a ferocious beast, making people feel suffocated.

Previously, the two Level Four warriors were guarding Hei Ya, but the pressure from Zi Chen, who was more than ten meters away, was too terrifying. Their faces turned pale, and they ran far away after a short while.

"It's too scary. It's like a ferocious beast is right in front of me."

The two ran away and stopped when they were a few hundred feet away from the pressure.

Not long after, Black Cliff opened his eyes. He was also awakened by the terrifying aura. When he opened his eyes and saw that there was no one around, Black Cliff's expression changed. He could feel the oppressive aura right next to him. His expression changed drastically.

When he realized that the pressure was coming from Zi Chen, he was so shocked that he could not say a word.

He could feel that Zi Chen's power level had not increased, but the pressure from Zi Chen's body indicated that he had become even scarier. After getting up, Hei Ya could not stand it for a few minutes. The suffocating feeling was driving him crazy.

He walked a few hundred feet away, looked at the two level four warriors, and then sat down to refine the Fruit of Strength again.

After refining one Fruit of Strength, Hei Ya's power level increased from level five to level six. When he opened his eyes again, he found that there was no one around him.

The two guards had retreated a few hundred feet because the pressure from Zi Chen's body had become even scarier. The two level four warriors could not withstand it.

In the world of the barbarians, Zi Chen was only a level three warrior. His level was lower than the people present. Of course, combat power was not included.

Zi Chen's strength level had already reached Level Five. Level Five strength was equivalent to the middle stage of the Primal Core Realm, which was higher than the elemental force level. Furthermore, after refining so many fruits of strength, Zi Chen's Perfect Body had transformed into true perfection.

The Perfect Body, which was known as the strongest physique among humans, released the terrifying pressure that it should have. The moment his body transformed into the Perfect Body, it was equivalent to Zi Chen possessing the powerful battle prowess of a mid-stage Primal Core cultivator.

This physical combat strength had already exceeded the realm of elemental energy. In other words, Zi Chen's strongest attack was no longer the moment he used elemental energy to cast techniques, but when he used his Perfect Body to cast Berserker Arts.

Zi Chen's transformation was undoubtedly huge. However, this transformation was also accompanied by a huge consumption. During the time he had been refining and tempering his body, Zi Chen had already consumed half of the 63 Fruits of Power.

Nine fruits, nine miraculous and heaven-defying fruits of power, allowed Zi Chen's body to transform to a perfect state.

During this period of time, Man Hu had also finished refining and was now with Hei Ya and the other two.

Looking at Zi Chen refining the Fruit of Strength in the distance, the trio's faces were filled with shock and confusion.

"What's going on? What's going on? He has refined five Fruits of Strength, but his body doesn't show any signs of breaking through." Hei Ya let out a low cry, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Beside him, a Level 9 warrior corrected him, "Leader, it's not five. It's nine. When you were refining, Leader Zi Chen had already refined four."

"Nine." Hei Ya looked at the two Level 9 warriors.

The two of them nodded.

"It's said that one Fruit of Strength can increase a person by one level. However, Leader Zi Chen hasn't broken through after refining nine. This is too unbelievable."

Hei Ya couldn't understand Zi Chen's situation.

As the number of Fruits of Strength Zi Chen refined increased, his aura became more and more terrifying. This aura made Hei Ya and the others feel uncomfortable, frightened, and in awe.

This aura was somewhat similar to the Barbarian God in the Cloud Mountain Range. However, it was slightly weaker than the Barbarian God's aura.

Sometimes, when they slept at night, they would be awakened by this aura. It was as if a peerless monster was right next to them.

These days of not being able to eat or sleep well lasted for several days. Just when the trio felt that their minds were about to collapse, Zi Chen finally opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, Zi Chen's aura slowly dissipated.

Withdrawing his aura, the trio and Man Hu walked over. Man Hu hadn't broken through, but his battle strength had increased. Not only did the Fruit of Strength increase his battle strength, but it also increased his potential. This would allow him to reach greater heights in the future.

Hei Ya, on the other hand, had broken through and become a Level 1 warrior. This was the realm he had always dreamed of. However, after seeing Zi Chen easily kill a Level 2 warrior and sensing the Barbarian God's aura coming from Zi Chen, Hei Ya wasn't as excited as he should have been after breaking through. When he arrived beside Zi Chen, he was extremely cautious.

"I still need to cultivate here for a period of time. You don't have to stay here with me. If there's anything you need to do, you can leave."

Over the past few days, the trio's every move was under Zi Chen's spiritual senses. When the eleven Fruits of Strength allowed his Perfect Body to reach its peak, Zi Chen temporarily gave up on refining them.

The trio didn't want to stay here either. When they heard Zi Chen's words, they quickly nodded.

"If there's anything, come and find me here. I reckon it will take some time before I can leave," Zi Chen added.

Hei Ya nodded and said, "Then we won't disturb Chief Zi Chen any longer. We'll take our leave now."

The trio left, leaving Man Hu behind.

The eleven Fruits of Strength had allowed Zi Chen's physical strength to reach the peak. His Perfect Body had reached Level 0. Without using his elemental energy, his physical strength was comparable to a Heaven realm martial artist of the same level.

This was because the energy cultivated by the Perfect Body wasn't any weaker than Ultimate Energy.

After the trio left, Zi Chen rested for half a day and gave Man Hu a few drops of ancient beast blood essence for him to refine. Now that Zi Chen's physical strength had reached the Perfect Body, there wasn't much point in having the ancient beast blood essence.

Half a day later, Zi Chen continued to refine the Fruits of Strength. However, this time, Zi Chen wanted to break through to the next level.

The pure energy contained in one Fruit of Strength was immense. Even with his Perfect Body, Zi Chen instantly broke through the barrier of Level 0 and reached Level 1.

After reaching Level Six, Zi Chen's body's wooden barrel had become larger, and the amount of pure power it could contain had also increased.

Then, Zi Chen swallowed the thirteenth Fruit of Strength, followed by the fourteenth, fifteenth, and seventeenth Fruit of Strength.

When Zi Chen only had one Fruit of Strength left, his physical strength had reached the peak of Level 1. However, his physical strength stopped there. In fact, he had already reached the peak of Level 1 after consuming the sixteenth Fruit of Strength. The seventeenth Fruit of Strength didn't increase his strength much and didn't reach Level 2.

Zi Chen knew that the Fruits of Strength were no longer effective. He had to rely on himself for the rest. This bottleneck to Level 2 had to be broken by Zi Chen himself.

After refining the seventeenth Fruits of Strength, Zi Chen's transformation was undoubtedly huge. His physical strength was a hundred times stronger than before.

Just the thought of a hundredfold increase in combat strength was terrifying.

Just as Zi Chen opened his eyes and was about to get up, he heard two loud sounds coming from under his feet. Then, Zi Chen saw that his feet had sunk deep into the ground.

Zi Chen wasn't used to the sudden increase in strength, so he subconsciously used too much strength.

Zi Chen bitterly smiled. He had actually forgotten about this. He put some strength into one of his legs and was about to pull his other leg out. However, just as he lifted his leg, he heard another loud sound. Zi Chen's leg, which had just put some strength into it, was now three inches into the ground.

"This is too ridiculous."

Zi Chen's smile became even more bitter. It seemed that his strength had increased too much, and he couldn't even walk normally. Then, he exerted strength two more times, and Zi Chen sunk even deeper into the ground.

Zi Chen was helpless, but he had to get out, right? So, he used his hands to try and break free, but who knew that the ground was like tofu. Zi Chen pressed his hands lightly, and good lord, both of his hands were sunk into the ground.

At this moment, Zi Chen had no other choice. He needed a long time to get used to the sudden increase in strength.

Thus, Zi Chen called Man Tiger over. Man Tiger bit Zi Chen's collar and pulled him out of the ground.

After coming out, Zi Chen sat on the ground and wanted to thank Man Tiger by patting his head. However, Man Tiger was like a startled bird. A trace of fear flashed across his eyes, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Zi Chen smiled bitterly. "I almost forgot about that. Luckily, you reacted quickly. Otherwise, I would have killed you."

Next, it was time for Zi Chen to familiarize himself with his strength. This process was relatively slow because Zi Chen's strength had increased by a hundredfold.

The first thing Zi Chen had to learn was to walk normally. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for him to let Man Tiger bite his collar all the time or rely on his elemental energy to fly.

During this period, Zi Chen constantly tried to control his strength. On the first day, he was already able to walk unsteadily. However, there were many deep footprints on the ground.

On the second day, Zi Chen tried to pick up things. This was the so-called "pick up and put down gently." However, after one day, all the things that Zi Chen picked up were broken into pieces. Among them, a large rock that Zi Chen lightly patted also shattered into pieces.

Seeing Zi Chen's unstable state, Man Tiger moved even further away from him. He was afraid that Zi Chen would accidentally pat him. If that happened, he would either be injured or die.

On the third day, Zi Chen was able to pick up things without damaging them. However, he only picked them up and didn't dare to throw them.

As for his feet, Zi Chen was able to guarantee that every step he took would use the same amount of strength. As a result, wherever Zi Chen passed, it was as if a giant had stepped on the ground, leaving behind two rows of footprints of the same depth.

On the fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day, Zi Chen was able to control his strength better. Now, when he patted a large rock, it wouldn't shatter. Instead, it would only cause cracks to appear.

Just like this, on the tenth day, Zi Chen was able to control his strength very well. Of course, he still wasn't very adept at it and there were times when he used too much strength.
