The moment Chen Feng swallowed, he felt something was wrong; the contents were **filled with a volatile wildness, completely different from the last time he drank it. Instantly, this surge of energy inflated inside him like a balloon, his entire musculature threatening to tear apart as if under immense, violent force, every fiber enduring excruciating pain.

This sensation was similar to when he first entered the Tenfold Gravity Domain, only a hundred times more agonizing! In less than three seconds, the minute capillaries throughout his body began to rupture under the pressure, and crimson blood slowly seeped from Chen Feng’s skin, making him look, from a distance, like a swollen, bloody man.

“My internal vortex power is completely depleted from the recent training; relying solely on the power of **is not enough to counteract this force! If this continues, I will definitely explode!” Despite the overwhelming pain, Chen Feng’s mind remained sharp, able to clearly sense his body’s condition.

“Blast, I’m too late…” Elder Yi’s voice echoed in the room. Never mind that Chen Feng had changed residences; even if he moved far away, how could he escape a Magister’s spiritual probe?

Thus, Elder Yi hadn’t lost his way and flew directly over. Seeing Chen Feng’s swollen, blood-red appearance, Elder Yi knew he was too late.

In desperation, he drew his staff and tapped the air once. Chen Feng felt his entire body seize up, as if shackled by a solid steel ring, instantly immobilizing him.

“Puh!” Chen Feng felt the pressure of the steel ring placed by Elder Yi intensifying, while the chaotic energy inside him grew stronger. His chest burned like fire, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood streamed down his lips, tasting salty in his mouth, and his mind swam with dizziness. At this moment, Chen Feng’s muscles bulged, their contours appearing twice as strong as when he was exerting his Baoqi.

The blood coursing through his body accelerated its rotation. Simultaneously, the single drop of blood he had separately stored within his body seemed to have ingested a stimulant, darting wildly throughout his system, madly devouring this powerful, volatile, and untamed energy.

If Chen Feng’s consciousness were still clear enough to judge, he would absolutely recognize that drop of blood as the “Frenzied Blood” he had created himself. But now, affected by the medicine, the overwhelming pain caused waves of vertigo in his mind; if not for sheer willpower holding him steady, he would have already fallen unconscious.

Chen Feng had condensed the “Frenzied Blood” by infusing his own blood with an unparalleled, potent killing intent. However, intent alone lacked energy.

Now, the surging, violent power inside Chen Feng provided the perfect condition for this drop of blood. It instantly coursed through his body once, absorbing all the medicinal power.

The internal pressure slightly eased, and Chen Feng immediately noticed. But before he could feel relief, a far greater, more savage force instantly submerged him again.

The “Frenzied Blood” ignited! The unquenchable, rampaging energy grew more intense, stronger.

Chen Feng’s sanity began to blur; the pupils of his eyes shifted from black to red, then rapidly to pure white, as if his irises had vanished entirely. Immediately after, his entire body bent over instantly.

Rage Mode—he had entered Rage Mode! Anyone familiar with King of Fighters ’97 knew the terrifying might of a Raging Iori Yagami.

Upon entering Rage Mode, his attack power, speed, and attack judgment increased significantly. Furthermore, a Raging Iori felt no pain and possessed no consciousness; he was purely a killing machine until the energy within his body was completely spent.

In reality, Iori Yagami entered Rage Mode due to the “Blood Pact” established between his clan and the Orochi lineage, causing the Orochi blood within him to manifest this unconscious, berserk state. Now, Chen Feng, through blood infused with killing energy and unparalleled power, had somehow also achieved this state of Rage.

“Ah…” Chen Feng arched his back backward, his lumbar spine bending nearly ninety degrees, roaring up at the sky. With this backward arch, the restraint circle Elder Yi had placed around him shattered with two crisp kacha sounds!

“This… what is happening? How could he break free of my magic circle?

To break the energy restraint, even a Fourth-Tier Dou Shi couldn't manage this…” Elder Yi was astonished that Chen Feng could rupture his energy ring, let alone that this situation would arise after taking his concoction. He was slack-jawed.

His experimental potion was only meant to unlock latent human potential, instantly multiplying one’s strength several times over—but raising it tenfold was the absolute limit. For a mere Dou Shi like Chen Feng to snap an energy ring that should only yield to a Fifth-Tier Dou Shi implied his power had increased by more than a hundredfold!

And judging by his appearance, Chen Feng didn't seem strained. What exactly had happened to him?

Moreover, his current appearance was utterly insane, and the aura radiating from him was overwhelmingly potent, making the very air around them feel viscous. “This is bad!” Seeing this, Elder Yi dared not be complacent.

He tapped his staff and began chanting, immediately manifesting a magical shield around his body. Mages are physically fragile; without the protection of a magical circle, the sheer force emanating from Chen Feng’s body could inflict damage upon him.

“Hoo-chick, hoo-chick,” Chen Feng gasped heavily after his roar. With every exhale, a plume of white mist escaped his lips.

At this moment, he had no consciousness, appearing utterly possessed, filled only with the desire to kill—as if his sole purpose since birth was slaughter. Chen Feng turned and spotted Elder Yi standing near the doorway.

With a series of guttural, beast-like hisses, he instantly appeared before him. “So fast…” Elder Yi could barely believe his eyes.

Chen Feng’s instantaneous speed was so rapid that he couldn’t even track him as the distance of less than five meters closed. His charge was practically indistinguishable from teleportation!

“Boom, boom, boom, boom…” The sounds of impact came thick and fast, like a sudden downpour. Gaiken: Goufu Inshinigami, Sanbyaku-juu-ichi Shiki: Katsugi, Rikusanbyaku-juu-roku Shiki: Saiha, Hyakushiki: Oniyaki, Nihyaku-juu-ni Shiki: Kinkua In, Hyakunijū-nana Shiki: Aoi Hana, Hyaku-hachi Shiki: An’gari… Every single move was unleashed in a ferocious torrent.

If Chen Feng were conscious, he would be stunned and thrilled beyond measure. Nearly all of Iori Yagami’s techniques, save for Yaotome and Yae Otome, were being executed in this moment!

“Hiss…” Elder Yi wiped the cold sweat from his brow. “Thank goodness I layered on a Seventh-Tier Magic Barrier earlier, or those few hits would have mashed me into meat paste.” Yet, he was also shocked by Chen Feng’s attack power.

A Seventh-Tier Magic Barrier should be immune to damage from even Sixth-Tier magic, but this madman’s chaotic flurry of strikes was causing the barrier to visibly waver! Fortunately, mages could reinforce their energy shields from within; otherwise, another moment of assault might have caused the barrier to dissipate under the pressure.

As an Elder Magister, subduing Chen Feng should be effortless. Even though Chen Feng had entered Rage Mode, boosting his strength, speed, and destructive capability significantly, his fundamental cultivation level was far too low—it was like an ant, no matter how strong or how many growth stimulants it consumed, could never defeat an elephant.

The reason Elder Yi maintained the energy barrier without directly intervening was his knowledge that this over-capacity energy surge could only last for a limited time; it couldn't be sustained indefinitely. Once the opponent exhausted the energy, the state would automatically cease.

Besides, he wanted to observe the precise reaction to the potion he administered. “Roar…” Chen Feng executed his moves several times without breaching Elder Yi’s magic shield.

He stepped back twice, the energy accumulating in his chest growing stronger, making him increasingly manic. Without conscious thought, he raised both hands above his head.

With a sudden Bang!, a brilliant white light flared between his crossed hands. Immeasurable, mighty energy surged across his entire body.

At this instant, Chen Feng seemed to breach the barriers of time and space, instantly appearing beside Elder Yi, his claws driving viciously towards the energy shield! Kin (Forbidden) Hyaku-ni-jū-ichi Shiki: Yaotome!

Kin (Forbidden) Hyaku-ni-jū-ichi Shiki: Yaotome (↘↘↙And then die!) For anyone who has played King of Fighters, this move is unmistakable: Iori Yagami’s Super Special Move. It involves savagely tearing the opponent’s body with powerful claws, then locking onto the head to drive in finishing energy, causing all the lacerations across the body to spray blood—a move notorious for its brutal cruelty.

The Raged Yaotome is even more savage, slamming the opponent to the ground and continuously tearing at the chest until the entrails spill out, followed by incineration with blue flames. While Iori Yagami’s Yaotome might not be as overwhelmingly ferocious as the version used by the Heavenly Divine Clan (Gust), combined with his inherent savagery, it doubled his power, making it an overwhelmingly formidable technique in King of Fighters!

If one were to ask which character in King of Fighters is used most frequently and beloved by players, it is undoubtedly Iori Yagami, and his most powerful move is Yaotome; this speaks volumes about its might! Elder Yi’s pupils constricted sharply as he saw Chen Feng surge forward after the white light flashed.

His entire body began to tremble violently…………………………………………………………………… Deep within the silent Imperial Palace, an elder in a gold-threaded dragon-patterned robe suddenly stood up, staring intently in the direction of the “Rookie Inn.” “How can such violent power exist? The Loki Empire has only four Magister-level experts: Elder Yi, Elvis, Kainhart, and Sinadlin.

None of them seem capable of unleashing this kind of power! I must investigate.

If anyone dares to destroy the foundation of my Loki Empire, I will not forgive them lightly!” After speaking, the elder in the gold-threaded dragon-patterned robe dissolved into the air, vanishing eerily from his spot. The Loki Empire possesses only four Magister-level experts; so what level is this elder?

Is he perhaps not yet at the Magister level? No one knew, and thus, no one dared to ask… ps: I sincerely apologize for the late chapter today.

The main reason is this: After leaving the office, the apartment I rented was too small—only 9 square meters—making cooking impossible, so I subsisted on instant noodles daily. Today, my girlfriend visited and was furious when she saw my situation.

She dragged me out all day to buy a stove and cookware... sigh.

We left at 10:30 PM and I only just got back. I rushed to pound out this chapter.

This 9-square-meter apartment is really too cramped and depressing. After the National Day holiday, I, Lao Ya, have decided to rent a new, larger place.

9 square meters leaves barely enough room for a bed, no space for a desk, so I’ve been coding with the computer resting on the mattress, sitting on the floor. These past two weeks have been worse than that of a dog or pig.

Also, I checked the monthly tickets. Brothers, you are amazing!

We are only 6 tickets short of 275. That means five chapters must be released today.

Lao Ya isn't sure if he can manage that today, but he will try his absolute best. As long as the ticket count is reached, Lao Ya will not default on the updates.

Thank you again for your support!! (The content after the ps doesn't count, so read on worry-free...) (To be continued, for future events, please log onto wwwncom for more chapters, support the author, and support legitimate reading!) .
