Chapter 138: The Competition for the Next Sect Leader!

‘Consume Blood Qi?’

Zhou Feng thought about it and felt that this Blood-Burning Technique was quite suitable for him.

First of all, this Blood-Burning Technique consumed Blood Qi. He did not dare to say that his Blood Qi was definitely strong enough.

Due to his Level-2 Gluttony, Zhou Feng’s Blood Qi had always been abundant.

No matter how much Blood Qi was consumed, it could be replenished through the Level-2 Gluttony.

Then there was the damage after the Blood-Burning Technique ended. He didn’t seem to be too worried about this.

Thanks to his passive Self-Healing Constitution, the damage seemed to be able to recover on its own.

In fact, the more severe the side effects were, the faster Zhou Feng’s recovery speed would be.

He felt that the Blood-Burning Technique’s side effects were nothing to him with a few passive counteractions.

That’s right!

He chose to cultivate the Blood-Burning Technique without a shred of hesitation.

Besides the Blood-Burning Technique, Zhou Feng also discovered the Spiritual Attachment Art.

This was a body-tempering art, and the side effects were very obvious. It was an art that forcefully restrained the Spiritual Qi in the body, thus making the body tougher.

The specific method was to circulate the surrounding Spiritual Qi and then use a special method to attach the Spiritual Qi to the body forcibly.

With the addition of the Spiritual Qi, the cultivator’s body would become terrifying.

Tearing a soul artifact with one’s bare hands was not a problem at all.

Still, the longer one’s Spiritual Qi was attached to the body, the more damage it would do to the body.

If one attached their Spiritual Qi for a long time, the entire body would collapse because it could not withstand the violent Spiritual Qi.

‘Is this another self-harming art?’

Zhou Feng felt that this Spiritual Attachment Art suited his battle style.

Although this was a self-harming art, one would obtain astounding battle prowess.

Under normal circumstances, this art would only be used a few times in one’s lifetime. After all, if one used this art frequently, they would be courting death.

An ordinary person would not be able to withstand such side effects.

Zhou Feng was different, however!

He had several passive skills that could counteract such side effects.

Putting aside other things, Zhou Feng felt that this self-harming art was very suitable for him due to his passive Injury Conversion.

The more severe the injury, the stronger his attack power would be.

Then there was the Unyielding Heart, Fast healing, and Self-Healing Constitution. The more severe the injury, the faster his recovery speed would be.

The only thing to worry about was how much damage Zhou Feng would do to his body if he continued to injure himself and recover.

If he continued to injure himself and recover from the injury, then injure himself and recover from the injury, and repeated this cycle, he would probably lose a few years of his life.

Still, given his circumstances, it was unclear whether he would be able to live until next year.

Why would he worry about losing a few years of his life?

Moreover, his lifespan seemed to be 20 years longer than an ordinary person’s because of the passive Longevity.

Then he would just have to do his best!

‘Not bad!’

Zhou Feng picked these two arts and did not plan to continue looking.

These two were already enough. As the saying went, “One should not bite off more than they could chew.”

It was useless to have too many of these arts.

Soon, Zhou Feng relied on Leng Maner’s token to bring the jade slip that recorded the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art out of the Scripture Pavilion.

As soon as Zhou Feng left, someone passed the arts he had picked out.

“I found it! It’s the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art!”

“Is… Is he going to fight it out?”

“It seems that Zhou Feng seems to be quite familiar with his situation!”

“…”

When Gong Jiu and the others found out about the two arts that Zhou Feng had taken from the Scripture Pavilion, they immediately looked down on Zhou Feng.

It was obvious that he was at his wit’s end, to the point he was going to use such last resort .arts

Even though they looked down on Zhou Feng, Gong Jiu and the others were not too arrogant.

Now that they had reached an agreement, it was already a consensus that Zhou Feng had to die.

However, the way he died was a matter that needed to be discussed.

After all, Zhou Feng was the husband that Leng Maner had personally chosen, even though it was in name.

They had to respect Leng Maner’s opinion.

“If you want me to say it, just directly challenge him to a battle!”

“Directly defeat Zhou Feng. This way, no one will gossip, and we won’t lose face!”

“Directly challenge him? I’m afraid that Zhou Feng won’t dare to accept the challenge!”

“Won’t accept the challenge? Then we’ll put pressure on him!”

“…”

After thinking about it for a while, this group of people felt that assassinating him wasn’t a good idea.

They might as well directly challenge and kill Zhou Feng in front of everyone.

Firstly, if they did this, others wouldn’t gossip about them. Secondly, they could use this opportunity to make a name for themselves.

The competition for the Sect Leader position was getting more and more intense. If one could kill Zhou Feng, they would be able to gain a lot of prestige.

“However, this kid is a little strange! Moreover, he seems to have a spiritual weapon on him! I still have to test him out!”

“If that’s the case, why don’t we just make it a battle of attrition!”

“Battle of attrition?”

“That’s right! Since Zhou Feng has become Maner’s husband, then he will have to endure everyone’s test!”

“If he can persist through the continuous battles, then…”

This person didn’t say anything else because no one present believed that Zhou Feng could survive multiple battles.

Many people in the blessed land were dissatisfied with Zhou Feng becoming Leng Maner’s husband.

Then, they might as well use this dissatisfaction to force Zhou Feng into a battle of attrition.

That person seemed to want to say that the entire blessed land would acknowledge Zhou Feng as Leng Maner’s husband if he could survive in the end.

From now on, no one could find trouble with Zhou Feng.

By saying this, it was equivalent to forcing Zhou Feng to agree with the people’s will.

It wouldn’t be a simple battle but a show to earn a reputation at that time.

‘I can’t believe it! Then I should fight with Ye Zai!’ Gong Jiu narrowed his eyes.

He planned to make this round of battle into a competition for the next Sect Leader. Whoever could stand at the end would be qualified to be the next Sect Leader.

The competition for the next Sect Leader had been going on for a long time, so it was time to end it now.

Gong Jiu and the others decided to use this opportunity to hold a competition for the position of the next Sect Leader.

This piece of news instantly spread throughout the entire blessed land.

The entire blessed land was in an uproar. Many people rushed back to the blessed land as soon as they received the news, wanting to participate in this feast!

“Did you hear? In a few days, the sect is going to decide on the next Sect Leader at the Life-Death Arena!”

“How is this possible? Who said that?”

“It’s true! This is the news from Gong Jiu!”

“What! This is also…”

When the higher-ups of the sect heard this, they did not express their opinions, as if they had tacitly agreed.

Thus, a battle between the Tri-Gu geniuses started with Zhou Feng as the fuse.

Zhou Feng did not know that he had become the source of a storm.

At present, he was working hard to learn the two arts that he had just obtained..
