After resting for a whole night, it wasn't until morning that Chen Feng finally woke up.
Having reached Silver, Chen Feng's Spiritual Power increased greatly. He wouldn't dream at all while sleeping, which indicated that his brain had gotten sufficient rest, with every second being a deep slumber.
After getting up and tidying up a bit, Chen Feng didn't call anyone to attend to him. Instead, he stood in an empty space, and as soon as his body froze, the surroundings became scorching hot.
"The Demon Horn was severed yesterday. I wonder how well it has recovered?"
In an instant, a large amount of scorching heat whirled rapidly from within Chen Feng, as if a volcano was about to erupt. His body suddenly became scorching hot, and as he abruptly tore open his clothes, a flash of fire passed over his legs and head, transforming him into a bizarre and gigantic form.
With the transformation, the surrounding temperature also abruptly rose.
Blazing Demon.
A creature with red skin, engulfed in flames, replaced Chen Feng's body and appeared in the room.
The red skin had turned into something resembling leather armor. Two sharp horns rose prominently on either side of the head. Though the creature was formidable, the Demon Horn on the forehead was broken—one horn was black, curved, akin to a true demon's horn, but the other had been severed, leaving a smooth wound. One couldn't help but wonder what kind of weapon the assailant used to cut such a hard Demon Horn in half.
Phew…
Chen Feng exhaled a long breath, and among it were even some scorching sparks.
"In a whole night, the Demon Horn hasn't shown any signs of regeneration. Apart from absorption, Xu Hongzhuang's ability seems to have other effects."
Originally, Chen Feng only wanted to assess Xu Hongzhuang's strength, but who could have anticipated that she was already powerful to such an extent? Both her explosiveness and reaction surpassed Chen Feng's expectations. Even when ambushed, she severely injured him and even chopped the Demon Horn in two.
Recalling it...
During the battle, after Xu Hongzhuang severed the Flame Whip, the Martial Soul in her hand became ferocious, as if drenched in gasoline.
This indicated that Xu Hongzhuang could absorb the enemy's energy for her own use during a battle. When participating in a large-scale battle, she could even complete self-replenishment without the need for a healer.
Having ascended to a Silver Peak, Xu Hongzhuang already exhibited a hint of a strong warrior's aura. Just with this capability, she stood above most city professionals.
Xu Hongzhuang seemed naturally born for battle; no wonder she was called the Valkyrie.
The blade of her Martial Soul was so sharp that it severed the Demon Horn in a single strike, and with half missing, Chen Feng's Perception had greatly diminished.
"I must recover as quickly as possible…"
Chen Feng murmured to himself. In such a chaotic situation, he needed to maintain a peak state at all times. At this moment, he forcibly compressed the power within his body onto the severed horn.
Concentrating all the scorching heat in one spot, Chen Feng clearly began to feel a faint stabbing pain on his head.
Ugh…
He arched his back, with copious sweat oozing from his body.
However, his body was too scorching, and the sweat instantly evaporated as soon as it appeared, turning into a mist that floated in the air.
As time slowly passed by, the heat energy dissipated little by little with the mist. In just over ten minutes, the spacious room was already covered in fog, showing just how much sweat had poured out of Chen Feng.
Suddenly…
Chen Feng felt an increasing pain atop his head—seemingly something trying to break through from below.
Splurt!
At that moment, a thick, long Demon Horn shot out from beneath his head, knocking off the previous broken piece of horn.
The newly grown Demon Horn was straight and sharp, glistening with an eerie luster under the lamp light. Even some colorful patterns adorned it, giving off a sense of arrogance and bewilderment; prolonged exposure to it made ordinary people feel uncomfortable.
Exhaling a breath.
Chen Feng gradually reverted to his normal human form.
Despite losing to Xu Hongzhuang, Chen Feng didn't feel discouraged; after all, he hadn't even used his true strength to confront her.
The Flame Demon body was just one of Chen Feng's abilities. Besides that, the All-Seeing Eye, which possessed the power of Illusion Techniques, was also one of his trump cards and could have an unexpected effect in life-and-death situations.
After many transformations, although he couldn't withstand a top-tier combat professional like Xu Hongzhuang, facing some ordinary professionals, Chen Feng felt no pressure.
More importantly, he wasn't purely a combat professional; summoning was the ability he truly relied on to survive in this apocalypse.
As strong as Xu Hongzhuang was, once besieged by the four Summoned Beasts, she would have no choice but to suffer defeat, without even the opportunity to escape.
"Knock knock…"
A sudden knock came from outside the door.
"Sir, those two sisters from yesterday have woken up. Would you like to see them?" Wei Xun reported back quietly from outside the door.
"Is that so? Alright, I will head out now," Chen Feng responded coolly.
After changing into a human form, Chen Feng had a simple breakfast, then freshened up, and called Wei Xun to lead the way to a room on the first floor to meet the two sisters.
.........
Li Siyu stood on the ground in white clothes, appearing somewhat anxious and uneasy.
Her memories were of her and her sister kneeling by the street, but waking up, she found herself in such an unfamiliar environment.
Warm bed covers, clean clothes, and even delicious food.
Oatmeal and bread—she hadn't eaten such tasty food in a long time. Being a commoner, although she could receive some relief food, the quantity was limited, and it often went moldy or sour.
Having lived in the apocalypse for so long, Li Siyu knew what a piece of soft bread represented—it was food only upper-class people could enjoy. Someone like her, a commoner at the bottom, didn't even have the chance to smell it.
"Sister... can we live here?" a little girl next to her asked hesitantly to Li Siyu.
