Chapter 634: Repair Rate 29.9%

Although the battle had reached its climax, the exchange of attacks between the two lasted only about an hour before Nan Batian decisively withdrew from the fight. “I surrender!”
His words surprised those watching, as they thought the two were evenly matched.
Ye Feng also stopped attacking. For him, this struggle held little significance, so he never used his full strength—even his divine skill, which he had mastered to the eighth level, was only used at the sixth level.
“In this fight, you never used your full strength. No matter how I attacked, you handled it effortlessly. I’m a martial cultivator with divine martial arts skills, yet I couldn’t gain even the slightest advantage in close combat. Continuing is pointless,” Nan Batian admitted helplessly. Others might not see how powerful Ye Feng was, but he knew very well that Ye Feng’s true strength was far beyond his own.
“It was just a sparring match; there’s no need to fight to the death,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“I lost. You mentioned virtual treasure fragments earlier, right?” Nan Batian was quick to agree.
“That’s right!” Ye Feng nodded without hesitation.
“It’s my loss in this fight. If anyone wants to blame someone, it should be me for not being strong enough as the leader.” Nan Batian called out to his subordinates, “I accept my loss. Please hand over all your virtual treasure fragments!”
Everyone silently took out the virtual treasure fragments from their storage rings and handed them to Nan Batian.
After gathering all the fragments, Nan Batian added those from his own ring and handed it to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took the temporary storage ring, which contained 215 virtual treasure fragments. This number made him even more excited.
“Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll return your comrades’ bodies to you, along with their storage rings. I only took the virtual treasure fragments; I didn’t touch anything else,” Ye Feng said. With a slight movement of his fingers, the twelve corpses were transferred into the temporary storage ring and handed back to Nan Batian.
Nan Batian accepted the ring eagerly. After scanning it with his spiritual power to ensure nothing was amiss, he said to Ye Feng, “Thank you!”
“I need to keep moving!” Ye Feng said, giving Yu Hong a glance. The two quickly left the crowd’s sight.
Once out of Nan Batian and the others’ sight, Yu Hong continued to lead the way deeper, while Ye Feng used part of his spiritual power to explore the Void Realm. “Absorb all 345 virtual treasure fragments. Let’s see how high the repair rate can reach.”

The Virtual Realm projection reappeared and quickly took the storage ring containing the fragments of the Virtual Treasure from Ye Feng’s hands, beginning to absorb them. Several hours passed before the projection finally finished absorbing all the fragments. “How much have we achieved?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask, as he noticed no significant change in the Virtual Realm, meaning they were likely still below 30%. “We’re almost at 30%—it’s 29.9% now,” the projection said with regret. “Ah…” Ye Feng was almost tempted to curse; if he had known, he wouldn’t have rushed things and would have accumulated more. “We’ve improved by just over 4 percentage points, but the reward can only be given based on those 4 percentage points,” the projection reminded him. “Oh, I understand,” Ye Feng nodded. “Should the reward be the Supreme Privilege or the Ultimate Enlightenment Privilege?” the projection asked. “The Ultimate Enlightenment Privilege!” Ye Feng chose without hesitation. “Alright, then—eight instances of the Ultimate Enlightenment Privilege and four instances of the Ultimate Improvement Privilege!” With a wave of its hand, Ye Feng saw the numbers in his privileges panel change again. The number of Enlightenment Privileges had risen to 39, while the Ultimate Improvement Privileges had reached 10. “39 instances of the Enlightenment Privilege means roughly 120 days of sudden enlightenment…” Ye Feng’s eyes gleamed as he looked forward to the improvements such enlightenment would bring. Seeing Ye Feng silent for a while, Yu Hong couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine. I’m just thinking about the fragments of the Virtual Treasure—I wonder how many I can get here.” Ye Feng shook his head; he had been focused solely on the Virtual Realm, which explained his silence. “Oh, that Nan Batian—I really think he’s very strong,” Yu Hong brought up a new topic. “Mm, his martial arts skills are indeed powerful. As for elemental skills, he still needs more practice,” Ye Feng nodded with a smile. “By the way, that Rock Giant clearly had the upper hand. Why did you suddenly stop him? It even gave Nan Batian an opportunity,” Yu Hong asked, as there were still aspects of their fight he didn’t understand. “He used a shape-shifting fire elemental skill to deceive others, but secretly sent another fire elemental skill into my body, disrupting the flow of energy and preventing me from forming seals to control the Rock Giant,” Ye Feng explained.

“But he chose to attack up close almost at the same time, yet your reaction didn’t seem hindered by energy. In such a short time, you managed to eliminate the tricks he was secretly using inside you?” Yu Hong said, somewhat incredulous.
“Mm, as soon as I noticed it, I neutralized his move right away,” Ye Feng nodded.
“How many divine powers do you actually know?” Yu Hong couldn’t help but ask, though he knew this was a rather private matter that wouldn’t be easily revealed.
“Quite a few, anyway,” Ye Feng smiled.
“Could it be forty-five? Have you mastered all the powers related to the five basic elements?” Yu Hong guessed.
Ye Feng smiled without responding.
“It’s not forty-five, but at least twenty-seven, right?” Yu Hong said as if to himself, “Thunder, earth, and fire…”
Ye Feng still gave no answer.
Yu Hong continued talking to himself.
“Have you ever seen the boundary between the inner realm and the core area?” Ye Feng suddenly asked.
“Yes, I have,” Yu Hong nodded upon hearing Ye Feng’s sudden question.
“Are there many fragments of virtual treasures there?” Ye Feng pressed further.
“That boundary is a transparent wall like liquid, and indeed, fragments of virtual treasures can occasionally be seen drifting inside…” Yu Hong nodded.
“Has anyone entered there?” Ye Feng asked again.
“Yes, but none have ever returned,” Yu Hong nodded. “You’re not planning to break in for those worthless fragments of virtual treasures, are you? That transparent wall—rumor has it that if even a finger touches it, it will suck you in and you’ll never be able to escape.”
“We’ll see when the time comes…” Ye Feng’s answer was vague.
