Chapter 36: Fast Progress!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Feng held his neck and rested for a while before he recovered.
This battle was a little dangerous.
According to his original plan, he would take Senior Brother Zhou down in one fell swoop by relying on his two passive skills, Aura Blade and Bone Coating.
However, in reality, Senior Brother Zhou’s resistance was too intense. His body was simply abnormal. Even when his intestines had been punched out, he actually used his muscles to lock his arm.
2
At the same time, the strength he had erupted with at the end was too great.
If not for the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body helping him one last time, he would have been entangled for a long time.
Fortunately, his first move had still been very effective, and Old Skin’s passive defense was also very strong because of his constant injuries.
There was only a bite mark left on his neck, but not a piece of flesh was torn off. If a piece of flesh was directly torn off his neck, he would be in a bit of danger.
“I still lack offensive means!”
Zhou Feng also summarized his current shortcomings.
His first problem was that he did not have suitable offensive means.
Every attack was only imbued with Spiritual Qi, and it was completely dependent on the strength of his physical body and Spiritual Qi. He had to find a martial technique to learn, or rather, find an offensive battle art.
Otherwise, the lack of offensive power would be even more obvious later on.
Secondly, he could not rely on Battle Instinct too much. Although it was very useful, there were many times when one relied on their instinct to fight.
Not only was one’s reaction speed fast enough, but their decision-making ability should also be abnormally precise.
However, if one’s body did not have time to react, it would be useless no matter how fast their brain reacted.
Just like just earlier, there was not much time to react in close combat.
Therefore, the Gold Battle Instinct had almost no effect earlier.
“My passive skills are still not enough!”
Zhou Feng sighed and then began to collect Senior Brother Zhou’s items.
The most important one was naturally the Demon-Devouring Gu in Senior Brother Zhou’s body.
When the Demon-Devouring Gu was dug out of Senior Brother Zhou’s body, Zhou Feng’s Gu also awakened from its hibernating state.
Holding back the nausea, Zhou Feng directly swallowed this black Demon-Devouring Gu.
In an instant, a large amount of Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi directly exploded in his body.
Having experienced it once, Zhou Feng was very calm this time.
He began to slowly circulate the Demon-Devouring Technique, converting this large amount of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi into his own.
At the same time, he looked at the skill panel.
The progress bar on the skill panel was also full.
“Draw!”
With an order, the skill panel began to draw new passive skills.
Poison Immunity (Level 1): You are immune to most poisons. Once you are poisoned, your body will reject the poison.
5
This new passive skill was very practical.
Being immune to most poisons? Didn’t this mean that he could use more diverse tactics?
After seeing this passive skill, he didn’t know why but the first reaction in his mind was to poison the enemy and himself together.
He had the passive Poison Immunity, but the enemy didn’t. This way, he could instantly gain an advantage.
1
Just as he was thinking about this, his stomach began to churn.
Zhou Feng felt a wave of nausea and vomited a bunch of things.
Among his vomit, there were actually a few strange bugs that were moving about.
This scene instantly stunned him.
However, that was not the end. His body seemed to have a stressful reaction. He began to vomit crazily, and some black fluid flowed out of his pores.
After a long while, this reaction stopped.
“Was I poisoned? And it’s so many kinds of poison!?”
At this time, even if Zhou Feng was a fool, he still came to an understanding. He had definitely been poisoned. His body had reacted that way to expel the poison.
2
He didn’t expect Poison Immunity, which he had just obtained, to start to take effect.
And the most terrifying thing was that he had been poisoned with so many different kinds of poison.
There had been no signs at all, nor had he ever felt any discomfort. He had not realized that something was wrong when he was cultivating.
3
This was too terrifying!
“Did Wang Ming poison me!?”
There was no need to guess who had poisoned him. Zhou Feng immediately determined that Wang Ming had covertly poisoned him because only he had such an opportunity to do so.
Usually, Wang Ming would send all kinds of cultivation resources, and some of them were definitely mixed with poison.
Zhou Feng had really been a little careless. He also understood Wang Ming’s thoughts at that time. It was nothing more than raising him as a pig.
In Wang Ming’s mind, Zhou Feng would not reject any of those cultivation resources. Thus, he would accomplish his goal of raising him like a pig.
“I want to see who will be the hunter in the end!”
However, Zhou Feng’s thinking had been too simplistic.
Wang Ming seemed to show all his thoughts on his face, but he had many small schemes in reality.
Perhaps, his every move had been monitored long ago.
“Very good! I want to see who will be the hunter in the end!”
1
After Zhou Feng learned this lesson, the last bit of hesitation in his heart disappeared.
No one from Bitter Bamboo Peak should continue to exist in this world. His hunting plan had to continue.
“Already at 9th Level of Qi Gathering? It seems a bit fast!”
Since Zhou Feng had already devoured Senior Brother Zhou’s Demon-Devouring Gu had already been swallowed by him, and he checked his own realm.
He discovered that his cultivation had reached the 9th Level of Qi Gathering, and he could already begin to induct Qi!
This speed was simply astonishing, from the 6th Level to the 9th Level of Qi Gathering.
It seemed to be less than a few months!
The Demon-Devouring Technique was worthy of being called the Demon-Devouring Technique; its cultivation speed was indeed fast!
Of course, such a fast cultivation speed naturally had many drawbacks.
For example, his spiritual power was very chaotic and scattered.
Putting it simply: the quantity increased, but the quality was not good.
At the same time, because he had swallowed two Demon-Devouring Gu, the circulation of his spiritual power was not smooth, and occasionally it felt a little sluggish.
If a normal cultivator faced such a situation, they would first slow down and not be in a hurry to continue breaking through.
1
Instead, they would slowly polish their spiritual power, let their spiritual power circulate as they wished, and slowly break through after laying a good foundation.
However, Zhou Feng did not have such thoughts because he was currently cultivating a demonic technique.
Wasn’t it normal for a demonic technique to have flaws?
3
The greatest advantage of a demonic technique was that it allowed one to advance quickly, so this advantage naturally had to be maintained.
What Zhou Feng believed in was a large suppression of a small one. In other words, he liked to suppress one’s cultivation level from a high one to a low one.
8
What Reverse Immortal Crusade? He did not like this sort of thing.
Anyway, his realm was there. No matter how trashy it was, there was still a lower limit.
It was enough to deal with ordinary people.
It wasn’t realistic for him to slowly polish his realm.
Now, there were all kinds of thoughts in his head.
Suppress his realm and slowly break through?
It was impossible!
