Leng Hanfeng's eyes lit up, and the lightning spear in his hand got stronger. He stabbed viciously at Gu Zhengrong, intending to kill him with a single strike.
Gu Zhengrong didn't panic. A thick and st.u.r.dy earth wall appeared in front of him, helping him to block the attack.
The lightning spear pierced into the earth wall. The powerful lightning energy was grounded with the help of the earth wall, immediately dispersing the lightning energy, making Leng Hanfeng stunned.
While he was stunned, the ground below Leng Hanfeng suddenly puffed up. It turned into a huge mouth, wanting to swallow Leng Hanfeng whole. Leng Hanfeng immediately retreated. He wanted to dodge Gu Zhengrong's attack but it was too late.
Leng Hanfeng got swallowed by the formed earth cavity, encasing him in an earth coffin.
The domain realm master had been waiting for this chance. He lowered his right hand, and his fingernails lengthened and turned black. It grew to around 10 centimeters. His nails were glinting like a piece of metal, seemingly to be so sharp that it was able to cut light. After preparing himself, the domain realm master disappeared from his spot.
He appeared next to the earth coffin in an instant. He reached out his hand and forcefully stabbed it into the coffin, the position was where Leng Hanfeng's heart was.
The strong fingernails broke the walls of the coffin easily. It looked as though he had succeeded. The domain realm master gave a delighted smile. Suddenly, his face scrunched up and he let out a scream full of agony.
Right below his hand, another hand with multiple purple lightning bolts snaked around it had stabbed through the earth wall and pierced through his chest. On the backside of the body, one could see the hand holding a still-beating heart.
Gu Zhengrong narrowed his eyes. He released his power and flew back a few meters.
Boom! The coffin exploded without any warning. A figure snaked by numerous purple lightning bolts walked out of the debris, perfectly imaging Thor descending from Asgard.
Leng Hanfeng looked at the domain realm master who was on his last breath. He said calmly, "Just as I expected, there is a weakness in your domain." He actually managed to penetrate his opponent's body so easily… A real domain realm master's body would be protected by his domain, and it would not be this weak.
"Weakness?" The domain realm master vomited blood. He knew that he was going to die soon but he didn't want to leave without resolving his doubts, so he held onto his last breath and spoke with much difficulty.
"You didn't break through Qi-Jin through hard work or by having years of experience, and you never unleash your potential under the a.s.sistance of a powerful domain realm master. Neither did you face a life-or-death situation that helped you to breakthrough to the domain stage. That means that you reached the domain stage using some other alternate means." Leng Hanfeng frowned. He didn't know how to explain his feelings. "I feel that you are cheating. You all use some unknown methods to cheat and reach the domain stage. The first domain realm master I met must have been created through this method. The domain realm master Meng Shaoran is fighting should be the same too.
"We are all domain realm masters, right?" Gu Zhengrong was puzzled too. Hence, he helped the dying domain realm master to ask this question. "Why would there be a weakness?"
Leng Hanfeng scoffed. "It's like the production of a mecha, without having the perfect foundation, it would always result in a flawed product."
"Flawed product…" Gu Zhengrong thought about his innate talent Duplication, he could feel that there was a flaw in his innate talent but he didn't want to believe it. General Ling Xiao's innate talent was the same as his, how could General Ling Xiao innate talent not be flawed but he was. This might be the price humans had to pay for going against nature.
"Only people who naturally break through Qi-Jin or have a stable elemental domain have the right to be called domain realm masters. Those that got their potential forced out through life-or-death situations had a weaker foundation compared to those who broke through naturally. They would need to use the time after that to understand their domain and learn how to stabilize it. Some might take less than five years. While others might take ten years or even more than 30 years. Worst of all is that a portion of them might drop to Qi-Jin again. This unstable domain phase is known as a pseudo domain."
Leng Hanfeng thought about himself. That year, he was young and arrogant. He wanted to become the most powerful and talented person in the Flying Dragon Special Forces. When he didn't manage to break through the Qi-Jin stage at 18 years old, he applied to use external means for him to break through to the domain stage. Although he finally managed to achieve the domain stage after experiencing a few close death experiences, the consequences were greater than what he was prepared for. He had to use three years to stabilize his domain to finally become a true domain realm master. Then, he had to spend two additional years to gain a deeper understanding of the domain stage. He had almost lost his confidence as a domain realm master during this time but he was lucky to have gained it.
This kind of fortunate feeling kept coming back to him whenever he gained a deeper understanding of the domain stage. He needed to use his entire lifetime to compensate for the shortcut he took. Leng Hanfeng didn't know if he should regret his rash decision in the past.
He didn't even know whether if he could break through the Qi-Jin stage if he didn't use external means. Would he be able to achieve the domain stage by his own power? Everything was uncertain.
Leng Hanfeng thought about this and his gaze turned resolute. If he could do it once, he could do it again.
This was the first time Gu Zhengrong heard that there were different categories of people who had achieved the domain stage. Even those people who used external means had flaws in their domain. What about him then?
"What about us? What about our domains?" Gu Zhengrong wanted to know this answer.
Leng Hanfeng shook his head in pity. "You all have some understanding about the domain stage but it's just scattered information. For instance, you…" Leng Hanfeng looked at the domain realm master who wanted to get an exact answer before he died. "Your offensive skills are quite powerful but your defense is extremely weak. It's almost non-existent. This is definitely not right. A real domain realm master might have a difference in strength in their offensive and defensive abilities but it won't be so vast. You might be able to easily kill a person below the domain stage but once you meet a really powerful domain realm master, your weakness will be amplified by a thousandfold."
Leng Hanfeng thought for a moment before continuing, "If I give 100 points to a person who used his own effort and experience to achieve the domain stage, a person in the pseudo domain stage would have 50 points. You will only have 25 to 30 points. Pseudo domain masters could use their hard work to compensate for the 50 points they lacked. However, I don't know if you even have the chance to reach 100 points at all. From the looks of it, your domain can only be known as fake domain." Leng Hanfeng's a.n.a.lysis was the same as what Ling Lan had thought. Even the name he gave was the same too. Fake domain!
"Fake domain, it's fake…" The domain realm master was dejected and angry. He was angry because he was fooled for so many years. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to vent his anger. He breathed his last breath and died. The heart that Leng Hanfeng was holding onto stopped beating.
"What a pity." The lightning snakes crackled around Leng Hanfeng's hand for a moment, and the heart was burnt into ashes. He flicked his fingers and said to Gu Zhengrong who was still dumbfounded. "We have been roommates for half a month. That is fate. What I said just now is to repay this fate."
Gu Zhengrong was the strongest person created through the experiment so he quickly regained his composure. He scoffed. "I have to thank you for your kind intentions then. I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
Leng Hanfeng could use his lightning element all throughout his body. It meant that he was in the middle stage of domain. Gu Zhengrong had been in the domain stage for many years but he was still at the primary stage. He didn't have the opportunity to progress further. In the past, he could fool himself and say that the time was not right, but now, just like what Leng Hanfeng said, it might have something to do with the method the organization allowed him to reach the domain stage.
Ling Lan was watching the fight between Leng Hanfeng and Gu Zhengrong at the side. She saw the lightning bolts around Leng Hanfeng and nodded. "As expected of someone from the Huaxia Federation, he is difficult to deal with." She was right to say that the records by the Federation were just to show normal civilians and other countries. Many outstanding talents were kept a secret. This was the right decision. If other countries knew the exact strength of your country, your country would be soon destroyed.
However, Ling Lan's attention was not on Leng Hanfeng. She was focused on Gu Zhengrong. Just now, Gu Zhengrong had revealed a weakness of the innate talent Duplication. He was able to duplicate other people's domain but he couldn't duplicate their skills and comprehension of their domain. Hence, he wasn't able to duplicate it perfectly. If not, Gu Zhengrong would have realized how powerful Leng Hanfeng was and the domain realm master would not have died to a surprise attack.
