This ultimate freedom and ease lasted only for a brief moment.
After the sonic boom, Fang Cheng’s body was fiercely gripped by an invisible giant hand and then hurled forward.
The burning sensation on the surface of his body reached its peak, with every inch of skin experiencing the most intense friction with the tearing air.
The blood beads oozing from his pores had turned into steaming blood mist, obscuring his features.
His internal organs were churning violently, as if about to break free from his chest cavity.
The bone-deep resonance also reached its peak at this moment.
The deep creaking noise from his bones suggested they were about to shatter under the strain.
Fang Cheng was like a kite with a broken string, continuing to surge forward hundreds of meters under supersonic inertia.
But at this moment, he could no longer maintain that transcendent posture.
Every cell in his body was howling in agony, with all his strength extracted to the extreme, surpassing his limits.
Fang Cheng roared in his heart.
Within his Dantian, the ocean of True Qi suddenly stirred into monstrous waves, rushing through his meridians to his limbs.
The muscles in his running legs were like parched, cracked land receiving sweet rain, regaining a surging energy.
His willpower, like steel, forcibly commanded his nearly out-of-control body to stop.
A muffled sound exploded in the silent rainy night.
This time it wasn’t from pushing off the ground, but his feet, like two deep plows, dragged out two long black grooves on the wet asphalt road.
In the intense friction, even a wisp of blue smoke rose from the road.
That was caused by the asphalt melting instantly due to the terrifying heat.
Finally, Fang Cheng came to a stop.
His leg muscles slightly trembled, yet they remained like steel rods rooted into the ground, steadily supporting his body.
He stood there, his entire skin glowing red as if he had just been taken out of a furnace.
The rainwater became gentle again, lightly falling on his body, making a faint "sizzling" sound.
Wisps of white steam rose from his skin, forming a visible dense smoke, swirling in the rainy night.
The air was filled with a peculiar mix of burnt and bloody scent.
The intense heat was replaced by an instant chill, causing Fang Cheng to shiver.
He gasped for breath, his nostrils shooting out two white streams of air several meters away.
His chest heaved violently, like a tattered bellows puffing "whoosh, whoosh."
His gaze swiftly moved across the road, landing on the lake shrouded in rain and mist.
Without any hesitation, Fang Cheng moved his leaden legs and walked over with large strides.
As if a boulder had fallen, the splash rose half a person’s height. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel~fire~net
Fang Cheng dived headfirst into the lake, his whole body like a red-hot branding iron plunged into cold water for tempering.
In an instant, denser white steam explosively erupted from around him.
Underwater, countless tiny bubbles frantically gushed out from every pore on his skin, producing a dense "gurgle" sound.
The scene was like a boiling boiler suddenly having its tightly shut valve opened, the long-suppressed steam waves fiercely spewing out through the gaps.
Quickly, a rolling fog was formed, covering several meters of the lake’s surface.
It drifted slowly, lingering for a long time.
Fang Cheng let out a long sigh of satisfaction, soaking his entire body in the lake.
It was an indescribable sense of comfort from deep within his soul.
The icy lake water wrapped around his scalding body, with every pore opening and cheering, greedily absorbing the coolness.
It was like a forged and tempered iron, being reborn in the blend of hot and cold.
The muscle soreness and stinging, the trembling and lamenting of bones, the churning and compression of internal organs...
All negative feelings were quickly soothed and dissipated by the lake’s immersion.
This stark contrast from ultimate heat to ultimate cold gave his body an unprecedented pleasure amidst shivering.
As if transitioning from hell to paradise.
When the pain subsided, what remained was the endless satisfaction of conquering limits.
Fang Cheng couldn’t help but moan in enjoyment, gently raising his arms, and then looked down at his bare chest.
The densely packed red spots and bruises looked as if countless tiny hammers had struck them simultaneously.
They were almost all over his body, particularly striking.
However, with the flow of True Qi, the healing effect of his Extraordinary Physique gradually became apparent.
He could clearly feel those wounds slowly healing.
In just a few hours, he should be fully recovered.
Fang Cheng blew out a bubble from his mouth, then kicked with his legs, resurfacing.
He poked his head out, gazing at the pitch-black night around him.
So he spread his limbs, lying on his back, letting his body drift with the waves, gently floating.
The rain fell like threads, hitting the vast lake surface, creating rings of delicate ripples.
The distant mountains and nearby waters were enveloped in a misty haze.
The world appeared exceptionally vast, with only the sound of rain and no other distractions.
At that moment, Fang Cheng felt his state of mind was as open as this expansive world.
Freed from constraints, breaking the shackles.
From now on, the sky is high for birds to fly, the sea wide for fish to leap.
Just then, a faint blue glow flickered before his eyes, displaying a line of prompt information.

Fang Cheng’s lips slightly curved up, a hint of joyful laughter flashing in his eyes.
