‘The Blood-Burning Technique…’

After Zhou Feng picked out the Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art from the Scripture Pavilion, he immediately returned to his room to cultivate.

These two battle arts could be considered as the most suitable he could find at the moment.

This was because other battle arts required a certain amount of time and energy to cultivate, but the benefits were not necessarily high.

In order to unleash the full power of such battle arts, he would have to spend some time slowly polishing them.

Compared to the disciples who had cultivated in the Tri-Gu Sect since young, Zhou Feng’s disadvantage was very obvious.

It had not even been a year since he officially started cultivating.

Compared to the older disciples who had cultivated for more than ten years, his foundation was far too lacking.

If not for the many pa.s.sive skills, he would not have reached this level of power.

However, the Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art were different.

These two were self-harming arts, which were relatively easy to cultivate and could instantly unleash their power.

Zhou Feng was currently trying to use the Blood-Burning Technique.

The Blood Qi in his body was fully mobilized and operating strangely.

‘So hot!’

Zhou Feng felt his body was heating up crazily. His blood seemed to be on fire, and his entire body began to emit a wave of heat.

The surrounding air was distorted as well.

“Ha!”

Zhou Feng punched the puppet in front of him.

This punch, which seemed to have no power, instantly shattered the puppet in front of him.

One had to know that this puppet was made of special materials, the types that were extremely difficult to break.

‘So powerful!’

Zhou Feng felt that his strength had increased by several times. It was indeed worthy of being used as a desperate self-harming art.

After feeling this exaggerated increase in strength, Zhou Feng also felt the Blood-Burning Technique’s side effects.

Although he had an abundance of Blood Qi, he was unable to withstand such a short period of consumption.

Not only did this art forcefully burn his Blood Qi to increase his strength, in addition to consuming his Blood Qi, but it also caused great damage to his body.

‘This is…’

After Zhou Feng stopped using the Blood-Burning Technique, he realized that his body was filled with densely packed injuries.

It was as if his body was only one meter tall, and he forcefully increased it to two meters through the Blood-Burning Technique.

After the Blood-Burning Technique’s effect ended, he would return to his original height.

However, his body was already damaged. A normal person could only use this art once or twice. If they used it more, it would be fatal!

‘It seems that I have to end the battle quickly in the future. I can’t drag it out!’

Zhou Feng felt that he could not drag out the battle in the future.

It would be best if he could end the battle within a single exchange.

Otherwise, with the Blood-Burning Technique’s side effects, the longer he dragged this out, the heavier the burden on his body would be.

‘Next is the Spiritual Attachment Art…’

After testing out the Blood-Burning Technique, he planned to try out the other art.

The Spiritual Attachment Art focused on forcibly attaching Spiritual Qi to one’s physical body to increase the physical body’s strength.

It was very simple to cast this art. One only needed to use their soul power to attach the Spiritual Qi on flesh and blood.

The huge amount of Spiritual Qi was instantly restrained, and then all of it was sealed onto Zhou Feng’s body.

After that, Zhou Feng took out a knife and fiercely chopped it down on his body.

Dang!

In an instant, the knife was blown away!

Moreover, the knife shattered into countless pieces as it was blown away.

Not only did using the Spiritual Attachment Art greatly increase one’s defensive ability, but it even added an additional rebound force!?

The Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art increased attack and defense power.

The combination was simply invincible!

However, Zhou Feng’s face instantly turned pale. The side effects of the Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art intensified when he used them in tandem.

He felt that he could only hold on for one minute at most before he had to stop using the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art. Otherwise, his body would not be able to hold on.

‘Still, I can slowly recover from my injuries during the battle! Then, I can use the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art for the second time!’

Zhou Feng felt the degree of recovery of his injuries.

Although using the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art for a long time was not an option, he could use them again after a short period of recovery.

The terrifying recovery speed allowed Zhou Feng to overdraw his body repeatedly.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know the consequences of doing so.

One thing was certain, though. If Zhou Feng really did this, his body would definitely be destroyed beyond belief.

‘Who cares?’

Zhou Feng didn’t even think about whether his body could withstand it.

That was because it was useless even if he thought about it. Under the current situation, he had no way of solving it himself.

It would be better to see if he could obtain a pa.s.sive skill that could solve this issue later.

For example, a pa.s.sive skill like Rebirth would not be bad!

Currently, Zhou Feng’s cultivation path was mostly wasted. If there was a chance to do it all over again, he could cultivate once more.

Then all of this would be resolved, even if it was a little whimsical.

Still, it was not impossible!

Speaking of pa.s.sive skills, he opened the skill panel and checked the progress bar.

‘It’s not full yet.’

1

The skill panel’s progress bar was only half full. If he wanted to obtain the next pa.s.sive skill, he would have to wait.

Zhou Feng had noticed a pattern. The speed of the progress bar was related to the various types of energy he had obtained.

Although he had killed many people, this only served to trigger the pa.s.sive Soul Harvesting to obtain soul power. Thus, the progress bar was slower.

“Son-in-law! Lady Maner has sent something for you!”

Just as Zhou Feng was thinking about quickly obtaining the next pa.s.sive skill, a servant knocked on the door.

‘Something for me?’

Zhou Feng raised his eyebrows. What would Leng Maner give him?

He walked to the door and received a letter.

The maid who delivered the letter left in a hurry. She looked like she was running for her life.

Speaking of which, although he had become Leng Maner’s nominal husband, the Leng family didn’t bother with him.

Except for some servants, no one dared to approach the place where Zhou Feng usually stayed.

That gesture seemed to tell others that the Leng family didn’t acknowledge Zhou Feng as their son-in-law.

It seemed that there was a conflict between Leng Maner and her family.

Zhou Feng opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter carefully. ‘A battle of attrition? Is It related to the Sect Leader position?’

After reading it, his expression was strange.

How was this related to the Sect Leader position? And why was it a battle of attrition directed at him?

The letter clearly stated that Zhou Feng needed to accept the battle of attrition and face the geniuses from all walks of life.

And there was no reason to reject it.

Leng Maner’s request to Zhou Feng was to stall for as much time as possible. Even if he was beaten, he had to stall for time.

What’s worse, Zhou Feng had no time to prepare—the fight would take place tomorrow!
