Chapter 47 – Zhao Wu’S Threat?

Chapter 47: Zhao Wu’s Threat?

After understanding the specific rules of the martial arts competition, he couldn’t help but exclaim that it was wild enough.

The cruel and straightforward rules directly eliminated most of the people. Those who were able to remain were definitely not weak at all.

After all, they had to go through many battle rounds until the final ten spots would be decided.

After a while, Zhou Feng saw a familiar face. It was Lin Xiaojiao, whom Zhou Feng had met when he was guarding the gate.

“How come she seems to have lost a lot of weight?”

The current Lin Xiaojiao had lost a lot of weight compared to when he had met her.

However, from afar, she still looked like a mountain of meat.

At that moment, Zhou Feng also sensed Lin Xiaojiao’s realm—9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm! They were both at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation, just a step away from forging a Soul Altar.

Unexpectedly, her wave-like Blood Qi made him feel some pressure out of thin air. Her Blood Qi even made his surroundings become hot, even though they were both at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.

But why did he feel that his strength was weaker by more than a level?

‘So strong!?’

Lin Xiaojiao’s opponent did not even have the strength to fight back, and she was heavily injured after just a few hits.

“It is indeed Lin Xiaojiao! She is still so domineering!”

“I heard that Lin Xiaojiao’s Peerless Gu is about to reach great success! As long as she can successfully break through to the Soul Altar realm, this body of fat will disappear!”

“Her Peerless Gu is about to succeed? No way!”

“…”

Lin Xiaojiao had just left when the onlookers started discussing.

And this was also the best time for Zhou Feng to gather information.

He did not have any good friends or acquaintances in this sect.

Bitter Bamboo Peak was full of lunatics, so Zhou Feng usually could get very little information. In fact, if he did not have a sect token, the whole sect would not pay attention to him.

Thus, in terms of obtaining information, he did not have any channels at all.

Naturally, he had to take advantage of the martial arts competition to collect as much information as possible.

“Peerless Gu? This should be a Gu similar to the Demon-Devouring Gu!”

Almost every peak had a special Gu, so Lin Xiaojiao’s Peerless Gu should be similar to the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body.

In fact, this Peerless Gu was unique to Green Bamboo Peak.

This was also a variant of the Bloodthirsty Gu, cultivating together with the Peerless Battle Art.

At the early stage of cultivation, the Peerless Gu would require Blood Qi and Essence Qi.

This situation was even worse than the Demon-Devouring Gu, as the Peerless Gu would absorb the host’s Blood Qi and Essence Qi at all times.

In order to feed the Peerless Gu, Green Bamboo Peak’s method was to use dual cultivation to forcefully absorb other people’s Essence Qi and Blood Qi.

Green Bamboo Peak might have a nice name, but what it did was not much better than Bitter Bamboo Peak.

If Bitter Bamboo Peak was a group of cannibals, then Green Bamboo Peak was a group of ultimate perverts.

The males kept female slaves, while the females kept male servants, which was considered nothing. The most outrageous thing was the dual cultivation method, which was extremely cruel.

Once dual cultivation was over, the other party would become addicted, and there was almost no cure.

If the addiction flared up, they would beg you for dual cultivation.

At the end of dual cultivation, the other party would be sucked dry alive.

And at the later stage of dual cultivation, the person who was sucked would be in more pain, but the addiction would be greater.

Later on, there was no need for the people of Green Bamboo Peak to force them. Even if they knew that they would be sucked dry alive, those female slaves and male servants would come to their masters’ door.

That was why no one in the Tri-Gu Sect dared to associate with the people of Green Bamboo Peak.

It was too dangerous!

The Blood Qi and Essence Qi obtained through crazy dual cultivation would be stored in the host’s body, and they would wait for the Peerless Gu to slowly absorb it until it underwent a transformation.

This was also why Lin Xiaojiao had always been so fat, like a mountain of meat.

If the Demon-Devouring Gu’s effect was to let Zhou Feng cultivate Demonic Qi, then the Peerless Gu would be forging a Peerless Body.

Among the Tri-Gu Sect, the strongest in terms of physical combat would be Green Bamboo Peak after Bitter Bamboo Peak.

It could even be said that Green Bamboo Peak’s people had peerless physical bodies and did not use spiritual energy in battle.

They relied entirely on their extremely strong physical bodies.

However, it was challenging to initiate the Peerless Gu’s transformation. It had been a long time since anyone from Green Bamboo Peak had successfully transformed their Peerless Gu.

At present, the Peerless Gu in Lin Xiaojiao’s body was their greatest hope, so Lin Xiaojiao had obtained many resources from Green Bamboo Peak.

This was also one of the reasons Lin Xiaojiao was so generous.

“Gu? Using Gu to fight?”

Zhou Feng saw people from the Penta-Poison faction fighting toward the back.

He saw a person covered in a black cloth directly controlling a giant flying centipede.

The giant flying centipede was not big. It was only half the size of a fist, but it was swift.

It was almost impossible to catch its tracks with the naked eye. At the same time, its entire body seemed to be made of fine iron, and its defense was extremely high.

The person fighting this centipede tried all kinds of methods, but they could not harm it.

In the end, the centipede bit him, and he instantly died of poison.

After the battle ended, the large centipede returned to the body of the black-clothed person.

“Amazing! As expected of a Penta-Poison Peak disciple. The poison of this flying centipede is really strong. It only took a simple bite to kill that person!”

“That’s right! This Hu Feng seems to have entered the inner sect less than a year ago. He’s really amazing!”

“A year and he’s already at the 9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm? There must be someone behind this!”

“I heard that the Penta-Poison Peak’s deacon is his uncle!”

“…”

Zhou Feng eavesdropped again and learned that this black-clothed man was called Hu Feng, and he was a Penta-Poison Peak disciple.

Moreover, he came to a conclusion from the conversations of these people—it was extremely exaggerated for a person to reach the 9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm in a year.

Most importantly, Zhou Feng discovered that the surrounding people’s cultivation levels were not low.

At the very least, they were at the first levels of the Qi Condensation realm. Even though they had not reached the 9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm, they were still in the Qi Condensation realm!

“The one on the stage now is Young Master Zhao Wu, right?”

“I think so! I heard that he is also a genius who broke through to the Qi Condensation realm in less than half a year!”

“That’s right! But his backer mustn’t be anything special. If he had enough resources, he should be at the 9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm by now!”

“…”

Zhou Feng’s spirit jolted upon hearing this familiar name.

He and Zhao Wu had been ‘friends’ for a long time.

When he had still been in the Gu Refinement Cave, the two sides had had some grudges. Still, he had only heard rumors about Zhao Wu and never met the actual person, nor did he know Zhao Wu’s specific cultivation level.

Now, he could finally see it.

‘3rd Level of Qi Condensation?’

After slightly sensing Zhao Wu’s cultivation level, Zhou Feng realized that he was only at the 3rd Level of the Qi Condensation realm.

Perhaps a few months ago, the 3rd Level of the Qi Condensation realm had been an unreachable goal for him.

But now, Zhou Feng’s cultivation level had already reached the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.

From the looks of it, Zhao Wu no longer posed a threat to him.

The threat of an inner disciple? Zhou Feng was also an inner disciple!

Who knew what expression Zhao Wu would have when he found out about his realm?
