187: Chapter 187: Dark Guard Awakens the Holy Body (Part 2)

As the energy light clusters of various colors shrouding Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss shattered, their figures reappeared in Ling Feng's line of sight.

At this moment, Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss' clothes were already tattered, and bloodstains had dried into scabs on their bodies. Although outwardly, their current appearance was very disheveled.

However, with Ling Feng's current Cultivation, he could clearly feel that Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss' condition couldn't have been better.

Suddenly, as Ling Feng's gaze continuously swept back and forth over Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss, their Aura suddenly surged. The Auras they involuntarily released collided irregularly, causing low rumbling sounds to echo throughout the empty hall.

Subsequently, the Cultivation of the twelve young Shadow Guardss began to rapidly ascend at an incredibly astonishing speed.

"Earth Martial Realm Middle Stage."

..."Earth Martial Realm Late Stage."

..."Earth Martial Realm Perfection."

..."Heaven Martial Realm Early Stage."

..."Heaven Martial Realm..."

..."Heaven Martial Realm Perfection."

The Martial Dao Cultivation of the twelve young Shadow Guardss soared directly from Earth Martial Realm, only stopping its rapid ascent when they reached Heaven Martial Realm Perfection. However, judging by the state of their Cultivation increase, it is likely that when they awaken, they will successfully Breakthrough to Heaven Martial Realm and become King Warrior Realm powerhouses.

Just as the twelve young Shadow Guardss finished their frantic Martial Dao Cultivation increase, Ling Ying, who was nearby, also stirred. His Sacred Physique Awakening was successful, and he took this Opportunity to quickly ascend in Cultivation.

"King Warrior Realm Perfection."

..."Imperial Martial Realm Early Stage."

..."Imperial Martial Realm Middle Stage."

..."Imperial Martial Realm Late Stage."

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but nod with a look of gratification, showing his satisfaction with the improvements of Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss.

Half an hour later.

Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss in the hall slowly opened their eyes, gradually Awakening from their Cultivation.

Afterward, everyone eagerly circulated their Qi to feel their physical condition. What they saw shocked them; in an instant, their faces were replaced with expressions of astonishment.

"This..."

"Have you felt the changes in your bodies?"

Looking at the astonished Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss, Ling Feng immediately stood up, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile.

Hearing Ling Feng's voice, Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss, who were still immersed in shock in the hall, instantly snapped back to reality. They quickly stood up, cupped their fists, and respectfully bowed in gratitude to Ling Feng.

"Your subordinate thanks the Family Head for his profound benevolence."

"We thank the Family Head for his profound benevolence."

"No need for such formality!"

"As the leaders of the Family's hidden sharp blades, if you yourselves don't possess incredibly powerful Martial Dao strength, how can you secretly protect the Family? How can you effectively lead your subordinates if your own Cultivation is weaker than theirs?"

"You have absolute loyalty to the Family. As the Family's dark force, you should not easily reveal yourselves in front of others. You cannot enjoy the Family's overt glory and prestige. This current Opportunity can be considered a small compensation from the Family to you."

Ling Feng slowly spoke, looking at Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss who had been reborn and were respectfully bowing in gratitude.

"We swear to serve the Family Head until death!"

After hearing Ling Feng's words, everyone in the hall couldn't help but shout their vows with immense excitement.

"Pfft..."

"Alright, hurry up and tidy yourselves, change your clothes, and then come see me. Look at you all now, in rags and tatters, what an appearance."

Seeing this, Ling Feng nodded with great satisfaction, but when he saw the clothes of Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then he waved his hand and instructed everyone.

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss finally reacted. They immediately looked at themselves, and in an instant, a hint of embarrassment appeared on their originally serious and unwavering faces.

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Immediately, Ling Ying and the twelve young Shadow Guardss didn't even wait to greet Ling Feng. They all flashed, and with several whooshing sounds, they suddenly disappeared from the hall.

Watching Ling Ying and the others vanish instantly, Ling Feng wasn't displeased by their unannounced departure. He merely shook his head with a helpless smile.

Looking at the empty hall, Ling Feng then turned and returned to the main seat, slowly sitting down. He then directly instructed the System in his mind.

"System, open the attribute panel for Ling Ying and the others."

It turned out that as early as when Ling Ying and the others had successfully undergone their Sacred Physique Awakening, finished their Cultivation increase, and awakened, Ling Feng had already instructed the System in his mind to investigate and record their situation.

As Ling Feng's command was issued, the System's crisp voice directly sounded in Ling Feng's mind.

"Okay, Host."

"Attribute panel has been opened. Host can view it on his own."

As the System prompt ended, a light blue panel immediately appeared in his mind.
