Chapter 218: Comprehension

After a while, he put down the Cerberus and, without waiting for it to respond, he quickly dashed away again, disappearing into the distance.
The Cerberus was left alone in the wilderness in a complete state of bewilderment as it stared back at Insatiable and Black Hole. For a Demonic Beast which came from a different world, it naturally could not recognize the Fox of Natural and Human Calamity. No matter what, it would never associate a harmless-looking little fox with a terrifying mystical beast!
Back in the villa, Bei Feng was finally able to breathe more easily. If he didn't send the cursed Cerberus far, far away, the villa would probably be destroyed shortly after.
He could only leave the three fellows to fend for themselves at this point. Bei Feng picked up the little fox with a sigh and went into the kitchen.
"Meep!" The little fox buried its face in Bei Feng's neck and called out lightly in an aggrieved manner, as if it was trying to complain about something.
Bei Feng pursed his lips while his brows twitched slightly. 'It's unclear which one among you guys are the more aggrieved ones!'
He continued cooking and, after that, the man and the fox sat down and enjoyed a sumptuous meal together.
"Time to train in the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique."
Bei Feng could feel a wave of energy rising from the food in his stomach. He steadied his mind and began to cultivate.
The strange pressure appeared again, as if the Heavens and Earth were trying to suppress him. Bei Feng felt his body sinking heavily as his soles were kicked into the ground.
'It's become stronger again!'
Bei Feng's face flickered with shock as he endured the terrifying pressure. As time passed, the pressure even grew and became stronger! It was as if there was no limit to its power!
"Hu!"
Bei Feng immediately switched to another stance, dissipating the strange pressure as soon as he broke through a small limit. The pressure disappeared as fast as it came, finally allowing him to release a pent-up breath.
"Rumble!"
Like a torrential flood freed from a dam, Bei Feng's bountiful blood and Qi gushed forward like a group of wild horses, barging freely through his veins noisily.
"Pop, pop!"
Numerous popping sounds could be heard as large amounts of blood vessels and capillaries were being cleared. The viscous blood charging through his body was able to wash through many of the stubborn impurities, cleansing them. In turn, the blood also merged with the veins, solidifying them even further!
'This time, over 300 veins were cleared. But somehow, the effects of clearing these veins are not inferior to the previous times when I cleared thousands of veins! The effects are even on par with training in the Bear Form Style for two hours!'
Although he felt thoroughly exhausted, Bei Feng was smiling brightly as sweat ran down his brows. The feeling of constant improvement was simply too amazing to describe.
The entire afternoon was spent cultivating Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique. Within these few hours, Bei Feng managed to clear over ten thousand blood vessels. And this was with him taking things slowly to allow the blood vessels to have sufficient time to grow stronger!
His strength had increased by one percent overall. Although it was only one percent, that one percent should not be underestimated! If things continued at this pace, he only needed to cultivate the same way a hundred times, and his strength would double!
At the Xiantian realm, every step forward required a large amount of time and resources. This was especially so for the Fleshly Body Xiantian realm. The improvement to every minor stage within the realm would take at least five to ten times the resources as compared to the normal Qi Refinement Xiantian realm!
Although the results were astonishing, Bei Feng had also expended a large amount of resources to train in the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique. The amount of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat used up in this training session was a few hundred jin!
At this time, a foul smell was emanating from his training robes. Bei Feng dumped everything into the washing machine and ran for the bathroom. The human body was filled with various impurities, and would continue accumulating more every day due to the things that we interacted with daily. Unless one reached a realm high enough to be untouched by the filth of the world, there would always be dirt to be expelled.
After a long bath, Bei Feng's skin looked exceptionally fair and supple, as though it would break apart with a light flick of the finger.
But it was exactly this soft-looking skin which had the most perverse defensive ability right now! Ordinary weapons wielded by ordinary people would at most leave a small red mark on his skin which would heal in the blink of an eye!
Bei Feng did not continue practicing the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique. Instead, he decided to loosen his body with a round of Bear Form Style. The Bear Form style allowed him to revolve his blood and Qi in a gentle way, nourishing his newly cleared blood vessels.
Anything in excess would always end up being counterproductive. If the newly cleared vessels were not properly reinforced, they might be damaged or even break apart the next time he tried to make another breakthrough.

That night, the deepest parts of Blue Spirit Mountain range was filled with unrest. Peals of Demonic Beasts' cries could be heard from time to time, along with huge rumbling sounds of the land.
The din carried on until morning. By the time the Cerberus made it back to the villa, it was already noon. The Cerberus looked extremely haggard, as if it had gone through a great trial. The first thing all three heads did upon stepping into the villa was to scan the area carefully. Only after confirming that the little fox was nowhere to be seen did they release a sigh of relief.
The Cerberus was covered in numerous scars and wounds, appearing extremely frightening. Strangely, there was no blood around the wounds. At the end of the day, the Cerberus was a peak Grade 6 Demonic Beast before it was fished up. Although it only had a cultivation of peak Grade 1 right now, the knowledge and ability to control its body were not something regular Grade 1 Demonic Beasts could compare with.
The three heads exchanged a look as tears glistened in their eyes. These three fellow sufferers now had a quiet understanding towards each other.
'That fox is too d*mn scary! It must definitely not be provoked!'
A hint of fear flashed past the middle head's eyes. An ability like that was really too scary. It was almost impossible to guard against!
As it thought back to all the events from the night before, the Cerberus could not help but feel a shiver traveling down its spine. No wonder that human had looked at it with such a pitying expression.
Without any exaggerations, if it wasn't the one controlling the body yesterday, they would have died countless times already. The Cerberus made some brief calculations in its head based on the level of calamity it faced. This strange ability was definitely extremely fatal to any Demonic Beasts or humans even at the primary level of Evolved Jing!
If it hadn't managed to find a few mutated beasts to block the danger for it, its body would probably have turned cold and still by now...
The images of how those self-proclaimed beast kings and lords of Blue Spirit Mountain Range ended up still caused it to feel some lingering fear in its heart.
At this moment, the Cerberus had already steeled its heart to put that harmless-looking little fox on its blacklist. It would be best if it never met it again in its life!
After that, it controlled the body and proceeded directly to the storage room. After a nerve-wrecking night, more than half of its energy had been expended. It needed to replenish its energy urgently.
A black mist rose out of the Cerberus's body as it ate, causing the numerous wounds on its body to heal with visible speed.
When it had eaten and drunk to its fill, it crawled back to the giant rose and lay down with exhaustion.
An entire night of running and dodging not only tired its body, but also its mind.

As for Bei Feng, he was not training with the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique today. Instead, he was lying lazily on the balcony with his eyes closed and a scroll of painting in his hands. It was like he had fallen asleep.
In reality, he was actually visualizing the painting in his head, trying to comprehend the true intent of the bear in the painting. The person who made this painting was obviously an extremely powerful person with great capabilities. It was extremely lifelike, even managing to capture the spirit of the bear within it.
Although his eyes were closed, Bei Feng could feel the heaven-defying demeanor of the giant bear in his mind. It was like he was standing before a ferocious beast capable of slapping him into dust with just a single swipe!
Bei Feng could somewhat feel the true intent of the giant bear depicted in the painting. There was an air of absolute dominance and fearlessness which took one's breath away!
Gradually, as he continued visualizing, the image of a giant bear, constructed with mental power, appeared in his mind. The giant bear seemed alive, as if some intelligence had been injected into it. A terrifying lifelike gleam flashed past its eyes.
"HOU!"
An ear-shattering roar came out of the giant bear's mouth, echoing endlessly across Bei Feng's mind. But before he could feel happy about the results of his cultivation, the mental image fell apart and disappeared immediately after it finished roaring.
'Still not enough... I've only just touched on the concepts of the manifestation. But the true power of the Bear Form Style is still out of my reach.'
Bei Feng got up and kept the painting carefully.
If he wanted to truly comprehend the Bear Form Style, he needed to first grasp the spirit and the characteristics of the giant bear. Unfortunately, the giant bears were already extinct, and could not be observed. The only way left was to try to gain some comprehensions from the painting.
