Chapter 142: Triggering the Symbol Chant's Power

  "Then let me go first, or I won't be able to say this." Du Fei said. As soon as Du Fei finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and Yuanhuan crossed his arms over his chest, staring at Du Fei.

  "I'm really looking for you because I have an urgent matter, I didn't deceive you." Du Fei looked at Yuanhuan with a 'cute' expression.

  "Is there anyone as rude as you? I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've been scolded so badly." The gibbon said, staring at Du Fei with wide eyes.

  "Haha, I'm really sorry about that." Du Fei said with a smile.

  "Speak quickly." The ape glared at Du Fei.

  "I just want to ask for your help, in the past when we were training, it was always you who helped me control the power within my body. Every time I was extremely weak, that power would burst out." Du Fei looked at the ape and saw that it simply nodded in agreement. Du Fei continued: "I want you to help me stimulate the hidden power within my body when I'm in top condition."

  Du Fei said, after finishing the ape's eyebrows slightly trembled, carefully looked at Du Fei for a moment, and saw that Du Fei was also confused before slowly opening his mouth to say: "Give me a reason."

  "What reason? Must there be a reason for this? It's just that I want to truly master this power." Du Fei said extremely seriously.

  "I can help you, but I must make one thing clear: if you continue to stimulate your inner power with your current state, I'm afraid that when the time comes, your body will become a battleground." The empress said.

  "What does it mean?" Du Fei asked hastily.

  "That's right, if you were to activate this power in its prime state, your own strength would fight with this power for dominance over your body. In other words, these two powers will clash within you. If your own strength wins out against that power, then you'll be able to control it. But if that power takes over your body, your body will lose the protection of its original strength, and there will be no way out but death." The ape calmly said.

  "Uh..." Du Fei started to get worried after hearing what the gibbon said. The gibbon continued, "Why did you suddenly want me to help you with this?" Du Fei looked up at the gibbon, as if he had sensed something. Just a few minutes ago, the gibbon had almost taken his life, but now it seemed like the gibbon had put that aside after hearing about opening up the unknown power within himself. Thinking of this, Du Fei also decided to tell the gibbon about what happened with Dugu Zhāo Liè.

  "Look." Du Fei exposed his robust chest muscles in front of him, but there were six black dots on top of the chest muscles. Yuanhuan was also stunned when he saw Du Fei's situation and asked, "What's going on here?" Yuanhuan pointed to the black dots on Du Fei's chest and said.

  "I recently met a strange old madman, all four limbs were locked in iron chains. Before, he always wanted to kill me, but today he wants to ask for my help. However, I didn't agree, so he set up a restriction on my body." As Du Fei spoke, he pointed at the several black spots on his chest and continued telling the story of meeting Dugu Zhui Lie to Yuan Hou.

  After talking for a while, the gibbon roughly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, but still looked at Du Fei with a calm expression. "Is it just to quickly improve your strength to help that old madman open the iron chain?" the gibbon asked.

  "What else can I do?" Du Fei was getting anxious. The ape looked at Du Fei's urgent appearance and also sneered, "Alright, I can tell you the method to stimulate the power inside your body."

  "Isn't this too easy? You're not trying to trick me, are you?" Du Fei thought to himself, his face filled with skepticism as he stared at the ape. The ape seemed to sense Du Fei's thoughts and gave him a cold glance before ignoring him. With swift hand gestures, the ape conjured up a flame on the tip of its right index finger, burning with a faint blue color.

  "Put out your hand," the ape said. Du Fei was stunned and stretched out his hand in front of the ape, looking at it doubtfully. "This spark is the key to unlocking the power within you. I will now place it inside you. If you want to use that power later, just make the gesture I did earlier and activate it with your yuanqi. However, you must be able to control it, or else it will be life or death, depending on your own luck." After finishing speaking, the ape pressed its finger onto Du Fei's palm, and a faint blue flame appeared on his palm, burning for a moment before disappearing.

  "What's going on? It's gone!" Du Fei said in confusion.

  "Now the spark has entered your body, just introspect yourself, and if you feel that you can't resist the power inside your body, then make a hand gesture to force it back. However, every time you force the power back, its intensity will increase next time, remember." The ape said calmly. After hearing the ape's words, Du Fei closed his eyes and began to introspect. Indeed, he found a faint blue flame burning inside his body. "Really, there is a ball of fire!" Du Fei exclaimed in surprise. However, he didn't hear the ape's response, opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that the ape had disappeared without leaving any trace. Du Fei cursed softly: "Dead monkey, you really ran away quickly, I still wanted to teach you a lesson." After saying that, Du Fei took out the Wordless Heavenly Book and said: "Open door."

  Inside the Madman's House

  "How's it going, monkey? Everything going smoothly?" The principal smiled as he looked at the gibbon. The gibbon just nodded slightly and sat down in a chair beside him.

  "Master, are you really going to let Dugu Zhui Lie go?" asked Yuan Hua.

  "Hmm." The principal nodded and said.

  "I have no idea what the master is thinking, it took so much effort to subdue this old mixed hair back then, and now he's going to let him go." Yuhu said with some indignation.

  "Junior brother, don't be angry either. I also don't want to let that old fellow go, but this is the master's order and we cannot disobey it." The principal sighed.

  "If that old man unlocks the shackles on his hands and recovers his strength, the first place he'll attack will be the Hao Yuan Academy." said the ape.

  "Haha, don't worry, junior brother. Even if he doesn't have the shackles on him now, what can he do? Have you forgotten that there's still a restriction set by Master on his body? When the time comes, he won't dare to do anything to our academy, and even if he wants to come, I think it won't be a big problem. Master has already calculated everything." The principal laughed.

  "But this is not a long-term solution either. Letting the tiger return to the mountain will lead to endless troubles." Yuhu said somewhat anxiously.

  "What's with you today, being so wishy-washy? The former fearless and awe-inspiring Crazy War King has become so garrulous?" The principal said with a smile, looking at Yuan Lang.

  "You..." The monkey was also speechless, having been intimidated by the director's words.

  "Haha, young brother, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you." The principal said.

  "Who has been playing tricks on you with kung fu?" Monkey King shouted loudly.

  "Ah, don't worry about it, no one knows what the future holds." The principal said with an inscrutable expression, and then picked up the teacup on the tea table and started drinking.

  Tian Zhu Xi Nei

  Du Fei sat cross-legged, his entire body emitting a faint blue glow. He was currently practicing the Tian Yuan Technique to replenish his internal energy and achieve optimal physical condition.

  "Hmm..." Du Fei opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. He picked up the Wordless Heavenly Book and said, "We'll be unleashing our powers soon, what do you think?"

  "I don't know what will happen either, but I'll do my best to help you. Just focus on using your full strength and fighting that power with all your might." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  As Du Fei saw the font on the wordless heavenly book, he also closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His two hands slowly rose, making the same gesture as the ape. Just as Du Fei made the gesture to activate his vital energy, a strange phenomenon occurred. A mysterious talisman suddenly appeared at Du Fei's brow point, and its color deepened as Du Fei completed his gesture. When Du Fei finished his hand seal, the talisman on his brow also turned pitch black. At this moment, the talisman began to spread out from his brow like thousands of ants, gradually covering Du Fei's entire body. At the same time, Du Fei clearly felt a powerful force erupting in his body like a volcanic explosion, trying to take over his body. This feeling was extremely familiar to Du Fei, it was the life-and-death cultivation method he had been practicing all along.

  But today was different, this force was like a fierce tiger bursting out of its cage, and as soon as it was released, it rushed into Du Fei's body like a continuous flood, pouring into every tendon and vein. Du Fei immediately mobilized his yuanqi to try to suppress this force, but it seemed to have a consciousness of its own, not only refusing to be restrained, but instead bursting forth with an even stronger possessive desire, and began to "fight" with the yuanqi inside Du Fei's body. At this moment, Du Fei's body had truly become a battlefield, just as the ape had said. Du Fei felt pain all over his body, a feeling of unbearable suffering rising up in an instant, like being burned by countless fierce flames, or being tortured by someone, various strange and intense pains appearing on Du Fei's body.

  "Pffft." Du Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, but it wasn't over yet. At this moment, Du Fei's body began to swell and expand, with some pores starting to bleed. Every single meridian on his body became clearly visible. "Ah..." Du Fei let out a pained cry, trying to make himself feel better by increasing the resistance of his internal yuanqi. However, the more he resisted, the stronger the opposing force became.

  A loud "bang" sound, and Du Fei's arm suddenly burst out with a bloody wound. It was the result of the two forces colliding and exceeding Du Fei's skin endurance, causing it to rupture. Seeing the blood on his arm, Du Fei ignored the pain and increased his strength again. However, in just a few breaths, another part of his body, one of his feet, also burst open with a "bang" sound. Du Fei's body was bursting open in multiple places. Faced with this situation, Du Fei had no choice but to quickly form a seal with his hands, or else he would bleed to death.
