Chapter 147: Know How to Be Grateful

Gong Jiu didn’t want to drag this on any longer.

Every second he dragged on was a great humiliation to him.

Gong Jiu descended from the sky, his palms pressing down like a mountain.

Zhou Feng didn’t want to be outdone either, so he took the initiative to meet him.

The two bodies collided.

“Dang!”

The melee between Gong Jiu and Zhou Feng was like a battle between two giant steel statues.

Every muffled sound struck the hearts of everyone.

However, Zhou Feng’s strength was still slightly inferior. After a series of collisions, blood started to ooze out of Zhou Feng’s mouth and nose.

If it weren’t for the passive Reinforced Iron Bones, which had allowed his bones to undergo a transformation, Zhou Feng’s bones would probably have been shattered by now.

Each of Gong Jiu’s attacks carried an enormous force, which was transmitted directly to Zhou Feng’s entire body.

“Die!”

A long howl echoed!

The brilliance on Gong Jiu’s body intensified, and the clouds in the sky were blasted away.

At that moment, Gong Jiu was displaying to everyone what it meant to be a truly monstrous cultivator of the Tri-Gu Sect.

His strength was already close to the Purple Mansion realm!

Zhou Feng looked miserable. His body was heavily wounded, and blood covered his entire face.

However, the more serious his injuries were, the fiercer his counterattack became.

One punch!

The violent Demonic Qi broke through Gong Jiu’s defense.

That strange power once again repelled Gong Jiu.

It was unknown how many times this had happened. A small part of Zhou Feng’s attack would break through Gong Jiu’s defense each time.

Even the Five-Colored Daoist Robe on his body couldn’t defend against it.

This was the result of the Armor-Piercing Spear’s passive activation.

Although Gong Jiu was much stronger than Zhou Feng, in the end, he was still in the Soul Altar realm.

As long as they were in the same realm, the Armor-Piercing Spear would be able to play its role.

‘Why!? What kind of power is this?’

They had been fighting for so long, but he still couldn’t take down Zhou Feng, which made Gong Jiu’s state of mind change.

Zhou Feng looked very miserable, yet why didn’t he fall?

And what kind of strange method was this that could ignore his Five-Colored Daoist Robe and attack him directly?

On the other side, Zhou Feng’s body began to lose weight.

Zhou Feng was still using the Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art, so more than half his Blood Qi had been burned. His body was also in a bad state.

If this continued, even if his Self-Healing Constitution worked with the other passive skills, he wouldn’t be able to recover. His body was already close to the stage of drying up.

‘It’s about time!’

Zhou Feng summoned the medicine gourd from his Soul Altar.

This medicine gourd was Pill Master Yuan’s soul artifact, and he had been nurturing it on his Soul Altar.

Moreover, Zhou Feng had put almost all the spirit herbs in his storage ring into this medicine gourd.

Now, these spirit herbs should have all turned into medicinal liquid.

He picked up the medicine gourd and took a mouthful.

The medicinal liquid of an unknown flavor was poured into his body, and he used Level-2 Gluttony to start digesting it.

The medicinal liquid contained rich essence energy and Spiritual Qi.

He passively digested the essence energy and Spiritual Qi through his Level-2 Gluttony.

Zhou Feng was like a rusty robot that had been smeared with lubricating oil again.

“What’s he drinking? How…”

“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!”

“He can still persist!? What about the side effects of using the Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art?”

Everyone who had been waiting for Zhou Feng’s defeat was shocked upon seeing that he was once again full of vigor and vitality.

What was going on? Why was Zhou Feng still able to persist? What was inside the gourd?

“What kind of constitution is this?” Ye Zai frowned slightly.

Zhou Feng’s performance was very similar to a constitution. His injuries recovered swiftly, while his stamina was outstanding. Moreover, he was able to use all sorts of forbidden techniques at will, completely unafraid of any side effects.

If a normal person tried to copy Zhou Feng, they would have died long ago.

Therefore, Ye Zai started to speculate whether Zhou Feng had a special physique.

The current Ye Zai had already fully acknowledged Zhou Feng’s strength. Given this kind of strength and the protection of a spiritual artifact, it was almost impossible for Gong Jiu to take down Zhou Feng in a short period.

Unless Gong Jiu was willing to reveal some of his trump cards and pay the price.

“As expected, people who can catch Maner’s eye are really different. I still underestimated the people in the world!”

Gong Jiu looked at Zhou Feng, who had become lively and vigorous once again, and then looked at the Purple Jade Bell hovering over his head. His expression returned to calmness.

From disdain to slightly looking at him to finally admitting that he had underestimated the people in the world, Gong Jiu’s mental journey was gradually being changed by Zhou Feng’s strength.

But in his heart, Zhou Feng was just trying to hang on. If he continued to fight, Gong Jiu would definitely win.

In Gong Jiu’s heart, his only opponent was Ye Zai.

Gong Jiu didn’t want to waste too much time and energy on Zhou Feng. He wanted to battle Ye Zai and establish the title as the sect’s No.1 genius today.

“You have obtained my recognition! You can leave now! Today’s main character is not you!”

His tone was still high and mighty as if he was giving Zhou Feng alms.

Gong Jiu’s words implied that he had tacitly accepted Zhou Feng as Leng Maner’s husband and would not pursue the matter further.

Compared to a woman, Gong Jiu cared more about the Sect Leader position.

As long as he became the Sect Leader, so what if Zhou Feng was Leng Maner’s husband?

Gong Jiu was more focused on Ye Zai.

‘I should be able to continue fighting for a while!’

Zhou Feng felt his injuries in his heart.

After that short rest, his injuries had almost recovered. He could totally continue fighting now.

Moreover, he discovered that his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger during this high-intensity battle!

Was this a passive trigger of Old Skin?

As long as he recovered from his injuries, his defense would be able to increase.

Zhou Feng was doubtful because he had recovered from previous injuries in the past, but Old Skin’s passive response had not been noteworthy.

This had made him think that Old Skin had reached its upper limit.

But today, Zhou Feng realized that Old Skin’s passivity was far from reaching the upper limit.

He hadn’t triggered it before because his injuries hadn’t been severe enough.

It seemed like Zhou Feng had to squeeze his body to the limit. Now that his injury had recovered, Old Skin had been triggered again.

Therefore, Zhou Feng still wanted to use Gong Jiu to continue stimulating his body.

“…”

With this thought in mind, Zhou Feng looked at Gong Jiu expressionlessly.

“You’re courting death!”

Upon noticing that Zhou Feng had no intention of leaving the arena, Gong Jiu’s face sank again.

In his heart, he had already given Zhou Feng a favor by letting him leave the arena now.

If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to beat Ye Zai in front of everyone and snatch the position of the next Sect Leader, Zhou Feng would definitely have died in this arena.

It was such a magnanimous act! Zhou Feng should know how to be grateful!

Zhou Feng was actually not giving him face!

Gong Jiu’s anger that he had just suppressed rose up again..
