A month later, on the Shata Ancient Road at the foot of Tianshan.

In the drizzling rain, a young man walked along the lengthy road.

His skin was dark, his body emaciated to an extreme, his hair and beard a tangled mess.

Yet, his spine was as straight as a javelin.

This gave his entire figure an indescribable mystical aura.

The clothes the man wore were tattered and torn, barely covering his body.

The backpack he carried was even more battered.

The pack's straps were gone, replaced with two thick vines.

Similarly, vines tightened around the man's calves, giving his entire body a neat appearance.

The only decent item on this man was a yellow gourd hanging at his waist.

The gourd emitted a strong fragrance of wine.

With his long legs striding casually, the man walked on.

His steps, each rising and falling, gave the illusion of rooting into the earth, continuous and unending.

This man was Yang Fei, who had just descended from the peak of Mount Everest.

At this moment, Yang Fei, compared to a month before, presented a completely different demeanor and aura.

His aura had become more rugged and towering, and the brilliance in his eyes more fluid and sparkling.

In that month, he had climbed to the peak of Mount Everest bare-handed, encountering countless dangers.

At least three times he had almost fallen into abyssal ravines, and twice nearly plunged into unfathomable ice caves.

Besides, Yang Fei also endured blizzards, even a minor avalanche.

Humans are indeed strange creatures.

Only in the most perilous situations can deeper life potentials be stimulated.

Yang Fei's Essence Qi had been massively depleted.

However, in such extreme dangers, his mental strength had been stimulated.

Those who have never climbed to the summit of Everest could never understand that feeling.

Standing beneath the heavens, the starry nebula in the Vault of Heaven seemed to slowly rotate right above one's head.

And beneath one's feet lay the vast world.

This feeling stimulated a mysterious power hidden in Yang Fei's subconscious.

His Martial Arts Realm finally broke through.

Extreme Tiger advanced to the Fourth Level, named Tiger Ghost.

Strictly speaking, Tiger Ghost is not considered a Martial Arts Realm, but a form of mental control.

When Yang Fei activated the Tiger Ghost mental method, his pupils immediately turned blood-red.

The Auspicious Evil Energy in his eyes was conveyed through his gaze.

It could intimidate an enemy's spirit in a short period.

On Everest, Yang Fei had used the Tiger Ghost mental method to capture eagles.

The eagles on Mount Everest were enormous and extremely ferocious.

The force of an eagle's pounce could exceed half a ton, capable of carrying away live sheep or even calves.

After Yang Fei ran out of provisions, he lay in the snow, feigning death.

When an eagle fiercely pounced, he activated the Tiger Ghost mental method, fixing his gaze on the eagle's eyes.

The moment Yang Fei's eyes met with the eagle's,

the eagle would immediately faint, falling down like a stone.

With this method, Yang Fei never lacked meat on the snow peak.

But since he couldn't cook, he could only drink the eagle's blood raw and eat the meat raw.

The Dharma Door taught by Xue Ming, called Stealing the Heavenly Machine, proved to be useful indeed.

After Tiger Pounce advanced to the Fourth Level, Yang Fei's Martial Arts Realm finally broke through to the Dark Energy Heavenly Grade.

Although he had not yet broken through to Strength Transformation.

However, Yang Fei felt that this day would not be too far off.

Yang Fei had yet to comprehend the method of Elephant Extreme First Layer.

He knew that once he mastered the Elephant Extreme First Layer,

he might be able to break through Strength Transformation and return to his peak strength.

The Elephant Extreme First Layer was named Elephant Truth.

The writings in the Elephant Extreme Scriptures were deeply mystical and hard to understand, and the paintings were also quite ordinary.

A White Elephant stood with four feet on the ground, quiet and calm.

Its long trunk undulating, without any extraordinary aspect.

No wonder Xue Ming had never managed to master Elephant Extreme.

Even Yang Fei was at his wit's end.

As Yang Fei thought to himself, his feet never stopped, moving forward.

The Shata Ancient Road is a renowned tourist route.

The roadside plants were lush; despite the cold winter, there were some cold-resistant plants that exuded a strong vitality.

Yang Fei did not take a vehicle.

To hone his martial arts, he had walked thousands of kilometers.

Throughout this journey, his body had grown leaner.

However, the Essence Qi within him had become increasingly vigorous and abundant.

On the flat grasslands at the sides of the road, there were visitors camping.

Tent after tent, like blooming bright flowers, spread out across the wilderness.

"What's wrong with that uncle? It's raining."

As Yang Fei hurried along, he heard a little girl's childish voice calling out from afar.

Her chubby face was filled with pity.

"Uncle looks so pitiful, can I give him my cake?"

The man holding the little girl's hand was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

He gently affirmed the girl's kindness.

"Xiaoxiao is right, shall we bring our things and give them to this uncle?"

Hearing the father and daughter talking, Yang Fei glanced at himself and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Over the past month, Yang Fei had been wholeheartedly practicing martial arts, having no time to take care of his hair or beard.

Added to his tattered clothes and sun-darkened skin.

No wonder others mistook him for a vagabond or even a madman.

The middle-aged man, holding the little girl's hand.

They brought a plastic bag full of bread and handed it over.

"Comrade, take a break. Here's some food for you to take."

The little girl took the items from the middle-aged man, struggled to hold them above her head, and rushed over.

Yang Fei gave a slight smile, did not refuse, and took the items from the little girl's hands.

The little girl was overjoyed.

"Uncle, you're so handsome, can I go pick wildflowers for you?"

Saying this, she ran energetically across the road.

On the other side of the road, there were sparse unknown wildflowers.

However, just then, an SUV came roaring by.

The SUV had just turned the corner and in an instant, it was in front of the little girl.

"Be careful!"

...

The middle-aged man suddenly cried out in panic.

The SUV driver, too, had not expected the little girl to suddenly run across the road.

He braked suddenly, the brakes screeching, and the tires fiercely grinding against the ground.

However, the momentum of the vehicle could not be stopped.

The little girl, terrified, fell to the ground.

Everyone watched helplessly as the SUV rolled towards the little girl.

Extreme Tiger Yang suddenly activated, and his body rushed forward like a hurricane in front of the little girl.

In that instant, both Tiger Pounce and Turtle Extreme were activated to their limits.

He forcefully pushed his shoulder against the front of the car.

His feet dug into the ground, sinking deeply into the mud.

The car braked abruptly, the wheels already stopped turning.

However, the inertia of the car was still an unstoppable force.

And Yang Fei, with that forceful push, actually held back the entire front of the car.

Only a muffled sound was heard, and the whole ground trembled with it.

Yang Fei's feet sunk deep into the earth, feeling a force coming from the ground itself.

He felt his body's Essence Qi and the power of the earth seemed to be connected in some profound way.

Yang Fei suddenly understood the mysteries of the Elephant Truth.

The puzzles he had pondered bitterly for days suddenly became clear.

It turned out that the power of the earth was the source of the Elephant Extreme's strength.
