Chapter 644: Chapter 518: Are You Up to It?
Lin Feng slowly released his spiritual power, enveloping the entire Fire Lotus.
Spiritual power, also known as the Soul Power of a Martial Artist, is a kind of ’intent,’ ethereal yet indeed real.
Spiritual Sense is the manifestation of spiritual power.
Comprehension is also related to the strength of spiritual power.
Simply put, Spiritual Sense can be regarded as a part of spiritual power.
Lin Feng’s Spiritual Sense covered the entire Fire Lotus, feeling it in detail. His Spiritual Sense gradually merged with the Fire Lotus.
Immediately, he controlled his Spiritual Sense, his mind moved, and the outermost petal of the Fire Lotus immediately bloomed.
Lin Feng was elated in his heart; this was quite effortless!
However, he did not dare to be careless, after all, this was only the first petal.
Then, controlled by Spiritual Sense and led by intention, Lin Feng swiftly opened the petals one by one.
In less than five breaths, Lin Feng had opened eight petals, at an unbelievably fast speed.
"So easy?" A trace of doubt arose in Lin Feng’s heart. He had opened eight petals without feeling any difficulty.
"Could it be that my spiritual power is so much stronger than ordinary people!" Lin Feng was surprised. He already knew his spiritual power exceeded that of the average person, which was evident from his comprehension and speed in learning Martial Techniques.
Lin Feng had once speculated that the reason his spiritual power was strong might be due to being a person in two lifetimes, innately much stronger than others.
But the speed at which he was opening the petals was still a small surprise to him.<>
"I want to see where my limit is," Lin Feng took a deep breath, calmed his Mental State, and continued to control the opening petals.
The ninth petal bloomed!
The tenth petal bloomed!
After three more breaths, Lin Feng had opened ten petals, and he still hadn’t felt any difficulty!
Lin Feng did not stop, continuing to control the unfolding petals with his Spiritual Sense and intent.
Eleven petals!
Twelve petals!
Thirteen petals!
Lin Feng’s speed slowed slightly; it took him more than a dozen breaths to unfold these three petals, as they seemed to become heavier.
At this moment, the Stone Chamber was eerily silent, with the remaining few dumbfounded, eyes wide and mouths agape, incredulously watching everything unfold.
The fourteenth petal was extraordinarily heavy; exerting his intent to the extreme, it took Lin Feng twenty breaths to fully open this petal.
Next, the fifteenth petal was the last one.
This last petal was as heavy as a mountain, extremely firm; Lin Feng released his Spiritual Sense completely, enveloping it firmly, and then continuously stimulated his intent, wishing to pry it open.
This was like an ordinary mortal moving a hundred-pound boulder, extremely strenuous.
It took Lin Feng half the time of a cup of tea to open this petal halfway.
"I refuse to believe I can’t open you!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and continued to stimulate his Spiritual Sense and intent, striving to control the petal to unfold.<>
Sweat appeared on Lin Feng’s forehead, showing the difficulty of this last petal.
Nevertheless, under Lin Feng’s vigorous stimulation, after the time it takes to brew a half cup of tea, the last petal was still completely opened.
Phew!
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. All fifteen petals were open, and his time was only slightly longer than Hong Qingxuan in opening ten petals.
Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. The Fire Lotus, having all its petals opened, abruptly started to vibrate,
Then, under Lin Feng’s shocked gaze, a red, ethereal elder emerged from within the Fire Lotus.
"This...!" Lin Feng was dumbstruck; there was actually someone inside the Fire Lotus.
This red elder, nearly transparent in form, appeared and immediately set his gaze upon Lin Feng.
"A Level Fifteen spiritual power talent! I thought such a thing would never exist in this world, but to think it truly does!" the ethereal elder murmured to himself, his expression somewhat excited.
"Elder, who are you?" Lin Feng stood up, looking at the ethereal elder with surprise and uncertainty.
The elder came back to his senses upon hearing the question and smiled, "I am Ou Lianzi!"
"What?" Although he had already suspected it, Lin Feng was still astounded; it really was Ou Lianzi, an Emperor Level Upper Grade Artifact Refining Master.
"Young man, your spiritual power talent is unparalleled and simply meant for Artifact Refining. Do not waste your inborn talent!"
After speaking, the phantom elder Ou Lianzi sighed and said, "It’s a pity you were not born in the same era as me. Otherwise, I would definitely take you as my Direct Disciple and impart all my knowledge to you!"
Ou Lianzi lamented. The Fire Lotus that tests spiritual power was a treasure of his time for measuring spiritual power talent, unaffected by Cultivation, highly accurate.<>
In his memory, no one from the entire Heavenly Vault Continent had reached Level Fifteen, and even he, the highest Artifact Refining Master of an era, only had a spiritual power talent of Level Fourteen.
He once believed it was impossible for anyone to have a spiritual power talent that could reach Level Fifteen.
But Lin Feng’s emergence completely changed his mind.
Er!
Hearing Ou Lianzi’s words, Lin Feng’s expression stiffened; he had no time to learn Artifact Refining!
He participated in this test merely believing that the other party’s Artifact Refining Inheritance was valuable and had no intention of learning to refine artifacts.
"Elder, don’t worry! I will not waste my talent," Lin Feng replied, nodding to the elder, even though he did not plan to learn Artifact Refining.
