Agony! Fen Tu Kuang Ge finally understood why Gan Jing had said it was a little painful. But that description was a staggering understatement! How could this be just "a little pain"? This was agony that could kill a person!

One of the ten Dou Qiao—the vital energy nodes—felt as if it were about to shatter the instant it was struck. Before the Dou Jin (Battle Force) could even generate its automatic counter-force, the searing power of fire invaded directly into his internal Dou Qiao, much like burning flames meeting ice that had formed from extreme cold.

In an instant, the ice began to melt!

"Ah!" Before Fen Tu Kuang Ge could even register the feeling from the first strike, another point storing Dou Jin on his back was hit by a finger!

With two fingers striking, Fen Tu Kuang Ge’s body began to tremble uncontrollably due to the sheer pain.

Pain! It was truly agonizing! More excruciating than having a hot iron spike driven into his body, then pulled out, only to be reinserted and ripped out a hundred times.

Duan Feng Bu Er rested his chin in his hand, observing the bulging veins on Fen Tu Kuang Ge’s face, forehead, and neck, trying to gauge the intensity of the suffering. How could the usually incredibly resilient Fen Tu Kuang Ge be experiencing this... "Ah!" Fen Tu Kuang Ge let out another piercing shriek as Gan Jing's strikes grew faster and fiercer. Utilizing the Da Tie Hu Xi Fa (Iron Forging Breathing Method) to absorb the heat from the burning wood, he hammered blow after blow into Fen Tu Kuang Ge’s body, which offered absolutely no resistance.

"Hu... ai... Yi... en... en... en... Ah..." After the initial few waves of pain, Fen Tu Kuang Ge’s entire strength had been drained away. He could no longer even summon the energy to cry out loudly; his voice gradually faded.

Duan Feng Bu Er glanced at the surrounding wilderness, a slight smile involuntarily curling his lips. Fortunately, they were in an uninhabited area. If this were happening in a city inn, with Gan Jing and Fen Tu Kuang Ge sharing a room and making sounds like that... when they emerged the next morning, wouldn't they be eyed with strange looks?

This sound... Duan Feng Bu Er shook his head; it was simply too soul-stirring... He looked at Gan Jing, then glanced at Cheke Fusonte, chuckling internally. If those two were sharing a room, and there was that kind of noise...

Cheke Fu Litte felt Duan Feng Bu Er's somewhat wicked gaze and swiftly grabbed the thin sword he carried from the Torrential Battle Fortress. A warning flashed in his eyes, as if saying: If you dare to think or say anything improper, believe it or not, I’ll stab a hundred transparent holes in you with this sword.

Duan Feng Bu Er roared with laughter, falling onto the ground and pounding his hands repeatedly: "So, so you thought the same thing..." Cheke Fu Litte shot Duan Feng Bu Er a look. Fen Tu Kuang Ge’s sounds were easily misinterpreted; what was so strange about that?

Half an hour later, Fen Tu Kuang Ge lay on the dirt like a pile of spoiled mud. His muscles twitched incessantly, and his eyes were vacant yet held a peculiar look of ecstasy.

That’s right! In just half an hour, a journey bordering on death, the Dou Jin in all ten Dou Qiao had been burned away, transforming into something like molten lava, slowly self-rotating under control.

Demon Subduing Warrior! In just half an hour, Fen Tu Kuang Ge had returned to the realm of a Demon Subduing Warrior, clutching a piece of bronze in his hand, around which wisps of Dou Qi (Battle Energy) were spiraling.

Form the cycle! Fen Tu Kuang Ge feared that if the Dou Qi circulated through the Dou Qi Secret Method, it would quickly halt and revert to Dou Jin. Disregarding his current state, which resembled a violent epileptic fit, he clenched the bronze weapon tightly and began circulating the Da Zhen Jin Dou Qi Secret Method.

Duan Feng Bu Er clicked his tongue repeatedly while watching Gan Jing. Amazing! This was practically a miracle! Something that perhaps only a Saint-level expert possessing a complete Special Soul Domain could achieve had actually been accomplished by Gan Jing—it was truly astonishing!

Gan Jing sat on the ground, utterly drained. This half-hour of the Iron Forging Breathing Method was more exhausting than any previous session in the Endless World. The Eighteen Hammers of Ascending Peaks, combined with the Iron Forging Breathing Method, usually only required maximizing the general breathing method's power. This time, however, he needed to precisely control the heat output of the Iron Forging Breathing Method. One degree too much, and Fen Tu Kuang Ge would likely have been beaten to death. One degree too little, and it would have been pointless torment without any practical effect.

Although Fen Tu Kuang Ge possessed strong pain tolerance, he hadn't consumed any Mysterious Potions like Volcanic Potion or Super Volcanic Potion. His internal constitution might be slightly stronger than an ordinary warrior's, but it was still far from sufficient for this level of heat.

Volcanic Potion... Gan Jing rested his chin in his hand, assessing the three companions before him. He had followed Oulala to study Mysterious Potions for years. While he couldn't concoct Super Volcanic Potion or Enhanced Volcanic Potion, he probably could try making the standard Volcanic Potion.

Ingredients... Ingredients! Gan Jing looked out at the wilderness and suddenly realized that the hardest thing in the Zhen Ce Dynasty wasn't mastering the recipes and techniques for Mysterious Potions; the materials were just as difficult to source.

For forging, alchemy, or even inscription arts, purchasing materials in the Zhen Ce Dynasty was relatively easier. Only Mysterious Potions... All the required materials had to be mutant hybrid creatures or plants grown by the Potion Master themselves. Many things simply couldn't be bought on the open market.

Gan Jing even suspected that even combining the resources of the Zhen Ce Dynasty and the Lucifer Dynasty, they might still struggle to find all the various Mysterious Potion ingredients he needed.

Must grow them myself! Gan Jing’s eyes turned south. The Ancient Desolate Sand Sea was rumored to be filled with danger and mystery. Perhaps that place held some rather unique potion materials?

Duan Feng Bu Er’s hairs stood on end under Gan Jing’s intense gaze: "Hey, comrade. What are you plotting now?"

"Volcanic Potion," Gan Jing replied, glancing at Fen Tu Kuang Ge lying on the ground. "A warrior's body can resist external Dou Qi impacts, but it’s relatively weaker against Dou Qi that has already entered the internal system."

Duan Feng Bu Er nodded grimly. This was indeed a problem. When facing an overwhelmingly powerful opponent, a single punch could shatter one’s vital bloodline body defense.

"Volcanic Potion can help temper the internal body."

"Really?" Duan Feng Bu Er clapped his hands together. "Right! When you fought the Dark Division Two-Star, you took a punch to the chest, and your bones didn't break, you weren't even seriously injured—that must be because you took Volcanic Potion, right?"

Volcanic Potion? Gan Jing smiled faintly but didn't answer. The Volcanic Potion was only part of the reason; the Iron Body Realm of the Wind and Cloud Golden Body also provided immense help. That punch from the Dark Division Two-Star had landed on him like hitting a block of iron.

"That's a good thing..." Duan Feng Bu Er leaned closer. "Do you have any of that Volcanic Potion on you? Give me a few bottles to try."

Gan Jing smiled at Duan Feng Bu Er's eagerness to sample anything novel. Once you try it once, I guarantee you won't want a second time. Seeing Gan Jing’s smile, Duan Feng Bu Er suddenly winced and became guarded: "Why does your smile make me feel so cold? Tell me, is the Volcanic Potion really foul-tasting?"

Foul-tasting? Gan Jing shook his head. To be fair, the Volcanic Potion tasted quite pleasant upon first entry, like sweet spring water. However, the result immediately following was like a volcanic eruption inside the body—definitely not a comfortable experience.

Volcanic Potion... I wonder if I can find even a tiny bit of material for it in the outermost layer of the Ancient Desolate Sand Sea? Gan Jing looked up at the clear, crisp starry sky. Perhaps he could find some other materials this time as well.

"Fallen Angel Bloodline Second Level Awakening..." Duan Feng Bu Er leaned forward again. "Hey, when you Fallen Angel Bloodline types awaken, do you get any other special abilities? You’re a Demon Warrior rumored to reach the Ultimate Awakening of your bloodline power—don't you have any unique skills?"

"...Two pairs of wings, allowing flight." Duan Feng Bu Er displayed a look of disdain. "The Griffin King Bloodline warriors also have wings, and theirs are gorgeous white ones, and they can fly too..."

"Black," Cheke Fu Litte tilted his head up slightly, revealing a unique pride, "it represents the supreme red."

"Just flying..." Duan Feng Bu Er shook his head. "Even an Ultimate Awakened bloodline, and it’s less interesting than our Hydra Bloodline."

Cheke Fu Litte frowned, looking at Duan Feng Bu Er with curiosity. As a mixed-blood, he hadn't received formal warrior training from childhood; no demon guilds wasted energy on mixed-bloods. Thus, he genuinely didn't know what was special about the Hydra Bloodline warriors.

"Our Hydra Bloodline warriors are known as one of the strangest bloodline powers among bloodline warriors," Duan Feng Bu Er revealed a similar, unique sense of pride. "Each time the Hydra Bloodline power awakens, I gain a new special ability. For example, right now, I can see everything clearly even in absolute darkness."

"Destruction Demon Eye can do that too." Cheke Fu Litte lightly curled his lip. The Destruction Demon Eye was a special ocular technique possessed by Fallen Angel Bloodline warriors. Once activated, it could release powerful, high-heat destructive energy; the more powerful the Fallen Angel Bloodline warrior, the stronger the Destruction Demon Eye.

"The Destruction Demon Eye is a ray that reaps life, slicing through everything surrounding the body, destroying all! If you encounter it, you must be careful." A combat technique recorded in the memoirs of the Gan family’s Ultimate Bloodline warriors was enough to prove the formidable power of the Destruction Demon Eye.

However... Gan Jing sighed softly. The Destruction Demon Eye was also extremely rare; not every Demon Warrior who awakened the Fallen Angel Bloodline would possess it. Rumor had it that only some of the Lucifer Royal Family within the Demon Race could gain the chance to possess the Destruction Demon Eye through special procedures performed at the bloodline altar during awakening. For a Fallen Angel Bloodline Demon Warrior like Cheke Fu Litte, who awakened naturally, the possibility of manifesting the Destruction Demon Eye upon power awakening was almost zero.
