Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 157 Counter

Having lost an arm, Lin Feng’s expression turned very somber.

After he attacked two Pangolin Beasts just now, one was killed, and the other was severely injured. It seemed like the outcome of the battle was good, but in reality? Apart from Astral Power, Lin Feng had almost unleashed his full strength.

According to the effects after the attack he made just now, three Spiral Forces combined with the Sharp Horn could seriously injure a Pangolin Beast demon. If four Spiral Forces were combined with the Sharp Horn, it could even blast a Pangolin Beast demon to death directly.

This made Lin Feng evaluate the Pangolin Beast more seriously. The Pangolin Beast’s defense was extremely powerful, especially its skin. It could even become “petrified”, turning as hard as rock.

This was completely different from the Proboscis Beasts. Proboscis Beasts relied entirely on their tough skin and thick flesh to “resist” attacks. That was a natural “flesh bag” that could withstand very strong impacts.

However, in terms of defense, these Pangolin Beasts were actually superior. If not for Lin Feng’s indestructible Sharp Horn, even if he unleashed four Spiral Forces, he might not be able to tear through the petrified skin of the Pangolin Beasts.

This kind of innate ability was just too overpowered. Moreover, the strength of the Pangolin Beast was also considerable. Hence, martial artists could not get any advantage over it in one-on-one situations.

“My genetic capacity has only reached 48%. Can I consider fusing another type of dire beast genes? This Pangolin Beast seems to be quite promising.”

Lin Feng looked at the Pangolin Beasts around him and was faintly tempted.

Ever since he broke the genetic lock, the genetic fusion device’s genetic capacity had decreased again. This meant that he could fuse with dire beast genes again. However, after so long, he had not been able to find suitable dire beast genes.

Right now, the Pangolin Beast was a rather good choice. If Lin Feng could fuse its genes, it would definitely be very helpful in improving his strength.

However, Lin Feng also had some understanding of the genetic fusion device. It was hard to say what abilities he could obtain from fusing the Pangolin Beast genes, or whether there were any innate abilities.

Moreover, Lin Feng had yet to complete his metamorphosis. There was still a lot of room for improvement for his physique. There was no urgent need for him improve his physique for the time being, so there was no need to be so hasty in fusing the genes of dire beasts.

More importantly, Lin Feng vaguely suspected that the fundamental reason he could break his limit and possess Astral Power which far exceeded the number of martial artists of the same level was that he had fused with dire beast genes, causing his physique to improve greatly, and even undergo a qualitative change.

Right now, he was at the Second Level of Metamorphic Realm. If he reached the limit, he might have more than 5,000 strands of Astral Power, which would be 10 times more than that at the First Level of Metamorphic Realm.

Lin Feng could not compress all 5,000 or so strands of Astral Power even now. He had to hone his mental will. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm.

However, if he fused with dire beast genes now, and broke his limit again, his Astral Power would continue to increase, reaching more than 6,000 or even 7,000 strands, which would be a disaster for Lin Feng’s breakthrough

Hence, Lin Feng was not in a hurry to fuse dire beast genes. He would at least have to wait until he broke through to the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm before fusing with dire beast genes. That way, no matter how much Astral Power he had, it would not cause Lin Feng any trouble. This was because at that time, Lin Feng would be facing the challenge of a second life transition, which was far more difficult than compressing Astral Power.

Seeing the two Pangolin Beast demons charge over, a cold smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. He lowered his head to look at his left arm. At this moment, there was somehow no blood flowing from his left arm. Moreover, it was growing at a visible speed.

Pain. It was very painful! How intense was the pain when his arm was torn apart and his cells constantly divided?

However, with Lin Feng’s will, he could look upon this pain with ease. In the blink of an eye, more than half of Lin Feng’s arm had grown. By the time the two Pangolin Beast demons charged upon Lin Feng, his arm had already recovered to its original state.

This recovery speed was so fast that it even exceeded Lin Feng’s expectations. His previous restorative ability was also very strong, but injuries at the level of broken arms and legs also required some time to recover.

But now?

Had it taken ten seconds? Perhaps not even five seconds. In just a few breaths, his arm had recovered to its original state. This recovery speed was at least 30% stronger than before.

“As expected, be it the Sharp Horn, the defensive armor, or the undying characteristic, my innate abilities have improved comprehensively.”

Lin Feng was now certain that his various innate abilities had all improved by a certain extent.

Shock! Bewilderment! Disbelief!

Everyone who saw Lin Feng’s “instantly” regrowing his arm had their mouths agape, looking dumbstruck.

Only then did they remember that Lin Feng’s restorative ability was very good, but was this just good restorative ability?

Even if the innate ability awakened by some inhuman experts had the effect of “restoration”, if the restorative effect was so strong that it could even heal broken limbs rapidly, could it still be considered a simple restorative ability?

Not only could these Metamorphic Realm martial artists not understand it, even those Divine Realm experts were probably couldn’t. “Four Spiral Forces!”

Ner

A cold glint flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes. They were just two Pangolin Beasts. He suddenly threw out his hands, and a cracking sound rang out. Te powerful force blasted through the air to produce an detonative sound.

Lin Feng could not help but release Astral Power. A total of 200 strands of Astral Power erupted on each of his hands.

A hundred strands of Astral Power was 400 tons of strength. Lin Feng unleashed four Spiral Forces at full force. In addition to the strength of his body, he had more than 2,000 tons of strength.

With such a terrifying strength, so what if he was facing two Pangolin Beast demons at once?

Boom.

The ground was shaking. The auras were exploding. Ear-piercing sounds came from the bodies of the two Pangolin Beasts. They were the sounds of bones shattering and flesh splattering apart. The two Pangolin Beast demons were sent flying by Lin Feng. When they landed on the ground, they were already a mess of blood and flesh, and could not be any more dead.

However, Lin Feng’s entire body was in a terrible state. How powerful was the impact when the two Pangolin Beasts ran at full speed? Lin Feng felt as if he had been struck by two mountains. Moreover, the claws of the Pangolin Beasts had ripped his arms and abdomen at one go, and his entire body was covered in blood.

This was too devastating. His way of fighting was gambling his life for kills. If it were any other Metamorphic Realm martial artist, even if they were at the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm and had a large amount of Astral Power protecting them, this kind of fighting style would definitely get them killed.

However, Lin Feng was still alive. The injuries on his body healed at a visible speed, and his broken arm regrew in an extremely short period of time.

Even the martial artists in the South Mountain Base felt their hearts palpitate when they saw this. How else could this battle go down? Lin Feng could not be killed at all. Using injuries to exchange for injuries and gambling their lives for kills had always been the fortes of the Pangolin Beasts. Relying on their powerful defenses, they always appeared like they were gambling their lives for kills in a frenzy, yet they won every time. This time, the Pangolin Beast had undoubtedly encountered its nemesis. Lin Feng’s undying characteristic ability completely countered the Pangolin Beast!

“No wonder the Chief Commander could suppress 30 demons in Dragonlith City at such a young age, when he had just broken the genetic lock. Back then, I wondered if there was some luck involved. Now, it looks like it’s entirely due to his formidable regenerative ability…”

Lu Wei’s eyes lit up slightly. If Lin Feng had such an impressive regenerative ability, then this time, they had a very good chance of repelling the Pangolin Beasts.
