Million Times Talent

Chapter 5: Revenging Parents

"Yeah! He looks somewhat unfamiliar. I wonder who he is."

"I know who he is. He's Chu Feng from Experimental High School, the one who recently defeated Shi Tao in a real fight."

"Defeating Shi Tao and acting so arrogantly? Ignorance is bliss!"

...

Discussions and comments filled the air, mostly unfavorable toward Chu Feng.

Chu Feng, accustomed to such setbacks, paid no attention to the surrounding comments.

"Silence! Students from each school have gathered. Let's not waste time. The trial to hunt the Five Elements Beasts starts now!"

A thunderous voice came from the high platform, and it drowned out all other sounds.

The speaker was Song Haishan, the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association and the organizer of this trial.

Subsequently, nearly three thousand participants passed through the open space and entered the eerie Five Elements Mountain.

Chu Feng chose a less crowded direction and stepped into a valley. Inside, wild grasses grew rampant, and dense primitive forests emitted an ancient and wild aura.

A chilling wind blew, filling the air with a murderous atmosphere, sending shivers down one's spine.

Squinting his eyes, Chu Feng activated the Golden Roc Breaking the Void Body Technique. Like a shadow, he swiftly moved and, in the blink of an eye, entered the depths of the valley.

It was strange; after walking for half an hour, Chu Feng had only encountered a few ordinary beasts, not even a single demonic beast.

"Aren't there supposed to be many demonic beasts?" Chu Feng felt a bit anxious.

Leaping off a tree, preparing to venture deeper, he suddenly sensed a gust of wind behind him. The force carried a strong smell of blood.

Chu Feng swiftly turned around, only to see a large mouth, blood-stained and coming directly at him. The sharp teeth within were as sharp as steel knives.

"Demonic beast is finally here!"

In a flash, Chu Feng's thoughts raced. Stepping to the side, he narrowly avoided the surprise attack.

With a loud "boom," the demonic beast crashed heavily into the ground in the distance, shaking the earth.

A boar-shaped demonic beast, with a body length exceeding an exaggerated three meters, appeared before Chu Feng. Its entire body emitted a blackish-blue luster, and its blood-stained mouth opened, revealing several protruding teeth that shone brightly like sharp daggers, capable of piercing through prey.

With bloodshot eyes, it looked ferocious and terrifying, exuding a brutal aura.

"A Rampant Boar, a first-order intermediate-grade ferocious beast!"

Chu Feng instantly recalled the information he had checked yesterday. Rampant Boars were known for their ferocity, possessing combat strength equivalent to a first-order high-grade ferocious beast. The best materials to obtain from them were their teeth and fur.

"Roar!"

The boar emitted a strange cry, forcefully pushing off the ground with its four limbs. Its massive body bounced up like a spring, charging towards Chu Feng.

"Perfect timing!"

Chu Feng took a bold step forward, activating the Golden Roc Breaking the Void Body Technique. Soaring into the air, he thrust out his right fist like a cannonball with a resounding roar, carrying the sound of thunder.

"Breaking the sound barrier with fist speed!"

This punch unleashed a force equivalent to thirty thousand battle power.

Coming from behind, it struck the Rampant Boar right above its two eyes, precisely on its forehead—its weak point.

The Rampant Boar revealed a terrified expression, attempting to dodge, but with its clumsy movements, it couldn't escape.

"Boom!"

With a dull sound, Chu Feng's fist hit the forehead, shattering it. The boar was sent flying several meters before crashing to the ground.

It was already dead beyond death.

With a flash on his arm, Chu Feng's ranking on the screen changed to 2.

"Finally, the first kill is done! Time to reap the rewards." Chu Feng wore a satisfied smile.

Chu Feng took out a sharp-edged broken blade, first decapitating the head. According to the information he had found, he carefully poured the blood from the boar's heart into a glass bottle.

Next, he extracted the four protruding teeth, and each sharp tooth could be sold for ten thousand.

Following that, he peeled off the boar's skin, stuffing it into a massive backpack.

Chu Feng looked around, then concentrated on sensing his surroundings. Everything seemed normal.

Taking out the glass bottle, he tilted his head back and swallowed its contents in one gulp.

"Let's go for battle with battle this time!"

Feeling the surge of energy circulating in his meridians, being absorbed into muscles, bones, blood, and internal organs, rapidly strengthening his physical body.

This time, Chu Feng only cycled through the Body Refining Technique a few times before heading deeper into the mountain.

The basic Body Refining Technique's effects were starting to fall behind. He decided to digest the medicinal power from the ferocious beast's blood during the battle.

...

Although Chu Feng had completed his first kill, he was only ranked 500 on the electronic display screen—not very noticeable.

"Lin Zhennan is already in the lead!" a journalist shouted.

"Really! He suddenly gained ten points and surpassed Li Chenyi."

"How long has it been? He has already killed a first-order mutated demonic beast. He truly lives up to his reputation as a genius; he's too strong!"

"Compared to previous sessions, he is not weak!"

...

At this moment, the current rankings were as follows:

1st place: No. 9, Lin Zhennan, 25 points.

2nd place: No. 3, Li Chenyi, 21 points.

3rd place: No. 263, Hu Chenfei, 19 points.

...

23rd place: No. 1267, Wang Yanran, 12 points.

...

98th place: No. 183, Zhuo Tianya, 6 points.

...

Chu Feng was completely unaware of the lively discussion about the rankings outside. His only thought was to forge ahead and rush towards the deep interior, 200 kilometers away.

Although he didn't know his current ranking, it was undoubtedly far behind. He needed to catch up as quickly as possible.

楚风 continued to unleash the Golden Roc Breaking the Void technique, moving as light as a swallow. He leaped through the air, covering over ten meters with each jump, traversing from one large tree to another.

His relentless leaps carried him over numerous ancient trees.

"About two hundred and twenty kilometers, that should be enough." Chu Feng checked his identity plaque, where the distance to the main camp was clearly displayed.

After this frenzied series of leaps, Chu Feng felt that the Rampant Boar's heart blood he had ingested was already mostly digested. Surprisingly, its effects were even better than the specialized basic Body Refining Technique. It seemed that changing to a better Body Refining Technique was imperative.

While contemplating this, a fierce wind, accompanied by a strong stench, suddenly roared from his right side.

The plaque on his right arm made a continuous alert sound, indicating an imminent danger.

It was evident that a dangerous encounter was approaching, likely a second-order demonic beast.

Chu Feng touched the ground with the tip of his foot, soaring over ten meters before coming to a stop mid-air.

A colossal snake, measuring twenty to thirty meters, appeared on his right. Its body was thicker than Chu Feng's two waists combined, and it had a yellowish color throughout.

The giant snake opened its mouth wide, and droplets of saliva rained down.

The serpent, like a derailed train, crashed into a large tree, breaking it in half.

"Hiss..." Chu Feng drew in a sharp breath.

If he had been hit, even with his formidable physique, his muscles would surely snap, and his bones would break.

The saliva dropped on the broken tree made a "sizzling" sound, revealing its highly toxic nature.

"Fire Tiger Python!"

Chu Feng instantly recognized it, a terrifying second-order primary-level demonic beast.

Upon realizing that it couldn't devour Chu Feng, the giant snake's massive eyes flickered.

Its enormous tail, like a whip, lashed towards him. It whistled through the air like a streak of lightning, coming with tremendous force.

Its combat power was at least close to thirty thousand.

"Quite formidable, but not enough against me."

After avoiding a heavy blow from the Fire Tiger Python, Chu Feng decided not to delay any longer.

As swift as thunder, he directly charged towards the Fire Tiger Python's weakest point.

"Boom!"

With a single strike, the colossal body of the Fire Tiger Python collapsed like a mountain.

After collecting the heart blood, Chu Feng directly drank it down.

Then, he began processing the materials...

While he was immersed in his busy activities, a storm was brewing in the main camp.

The ranking of a student with the number 1398 was like riding a rocket, rapidly jumping...

Directly into the top one hundred...

Top fifty...

Top ten...

Such astonishing changes in rank shocked everyone on the square.

It finally settled at third place.

"Wow... this person's rise in rank is too rapid. Now he's third? Hu Chenfei is already fourth!"

"Indeed... This person, 1398, how did he suddenly shoot up? Does anyone remember him? What was his previous ranking?"

"I just took a picture of the previous list. Let me check..."

The speaking journalist discovered that the student with number 1398 was ranked 520 just a minute ago.

He widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe, and said, "Incredible, a minute ago he was in the 520th position, and now he's fourth? What was his score before?"

"What? He had only 2 points before? He just gained 20 points in an instant? My God!" The male journalist was stunned, and his mouth could fit an egg.

"A sudden increase of 20 points, did he directly kill a second-order primary-level demonic beast? How strong is he? But this genius named Chu Feng, with number 1398, how come I haven't heard of him?" The female journalist muttered in disbelief.

"To defeat a second-order demonic beast and to kill a second-order demonic beast are two completely different concepts."

The defense of demonic beasts was usually extremely formidable. Even if one could defeat them, killing them was an even more challenging task. To be able to kill a second-order primary-level demonic beast indicated a strength at least comparable to that of an intermediate-level martial artist.

"This is likely the strength of an intermediate-level martial artist, at the very least, the top-notch strength of an advanced-level martial artist... Is this a seventeen or eighteen-year-old intermediate-level martial artist?" The chief reporter of the Qingzhou TV station, Zhou Ning, spoke with a trembling voice.

"Even the outstanding youths of the three major martial arts families, like Lin Zhennan and Li Chenyi, seem to be only at the primary level of martial artists, right?"

"Enough said. The combat power of number 1398 is definitely stronger than theirs. I have an astonishing speculation—this number 1398 may be a rare martial arts talent!" A middle-aged man, his eyes gleaming with excitement, spoke.

"Wow... A martial arts talent?"

...

Jiang Chao, watching from a distance, saw Chu Feng jump directly to the third position and was so excited that he almost jumped up. He pounded his chest with his fist twice.

"Good lad! His combat power is truly extraordinary."

Several hundred miles away, Chu Feng had already caused a sensation on his own.

After swallowing the heart blood of the second-order demonic beast, the Fire Tiger Python, Chu Feng quickly felt as if he had jumped into magma. His whole body was burning as if on fire.

He had to stop and use the basic Body Refining Technique, continuing for more than thirty times.

After digesting half of the medicinal power, the burning sensation in his body had alleviated to a bearable level.

He continued on his way, walking for dozens of miles. In the distance, a raised mountain peak came into view, with lush trees and rich spiritual energy.

Based on Chu Feng's limited experience, he felt that there should be powerful demonic beasts on the mountain peak.

He leaped into the air and landed on a giant tree about a hundred meters high. From there, he focused on the summit.

"Oh... damn it!" Chu Feng burst out with a curse.

There was not just one powerful demonic beast on the mountain peak, but a group of terrifying demonic beasts.

All these demonic beasts were shiny silver, with a faint crescent moon shape on their foreheads.

Even the weakest among them had a height of three to four meters and a length of seven to eight meters—larger than a military tank. They exuded an astonishing aura, terrifying in every aspect.

"Hiss... a Silver Moon Wolf pack?" Chu Feng drew in a sharp breath while his eyes revealed bone-deep hatred.

The Silver Moon Wolf was a powerful demonic beast species, and the weakest among them were second-order primary-level demonic beasts. The remaining sixty to seventy were second-order mid-level demonic beasts.

But that wasn't the most shocking part.

The most terrifying were the two wolf kings on the mountain peak, each the size of a small hill. Clearly one male and one female, the giant crescents on their foreheads already had a white luster, approaching third-order demonic beasts, which meant they were at the Master level.

Two top-tier second-order high-level demonic beasts, along with fifty to sixty second-order mid-level demonic beasts and several second-order primary-level demonic beasts—this was already a terrifying demonic beast lineup. They could easily sweep any martial artist below the Master level.

For martial artists below the Master level, it was undoubtedly a situation where they would flee upon seeing them.

However, Chu Feng, after observing for a long time, didn't feel a trace of diminished hatred in his eyes.

There was a reason for this!

He had personally witnessed his parents, the people closest to him, being tragically killed by a low-level Silver Moon Wolf.

"I must take you down!" Chu Feng's blood surged, his eyes turning red. He tightly clenched his fists, letting his fingernails pierce his palms, blood flowing out, yet he remained oblivious.

Deep-seated hatred, irreconcilable!

After contemplating for a moment, Chu Feng jumped lightly from the tree, placed his bundle on the ground, and took out a bow and arrow.

Crouching down, Chu Feng activated the Golden Roc Breaking the Void to the extreme, stealthily advancing to a distance of one thousand meters from the Silver Moon Wolf pack.

Yesterday, when Chu Feng was purchasing equipment, he impulsively bought a long-range weapon. The bow was called Iron Arm Bow, made of fine steel profound iron. It required a combat power of over ten thousand to draw, something impossible for martial artists below the warrior level, and even for high-level martial artists, they couldn't fully unleash its power. For a warrior, it could only exert fifty percent of its power.

To draw it fully, one needed a combat power of over a hundred thousand, which happened to suit Chu Feng perfectly. The Iron Arm Bow was a commonly used weapon for wilderness exploration, and it was priced at only fifty thousand.

The key to enhancing its power was the choice of arrows. Chu Feng spent a hefty sum to purchase a special arrow called the Divine Ganga Arrow, which was emphasized to be infused with Master-level Ganga Qi, making it an absolute weapon for slaying demonic beasts beyond one's level.

The arrow alone cost fifteen hundred thousand. Chu Feng reluctantly bought one for emergencies, feeling the pain in his heart.

Now, this Divine Ganga Arrow was about to make its official debut.

Facing two Silver Moon Wolf Kings that were too dangerous, one needed to be eliminated first; otherwise, charging in would be equivalent to courting death.

Chu Feng silently hid behind a thicket, gradually pulling the Iron Arm Bow to full draw. The Divine Ganga Arrow emitted a radiant brilliance, resembling the deadly light of hell.

"Swoosh!"

With a sharp and clear sound, the Divine Ganga Arrow, radiating a dazzling light, streaked across the sky. Its trajectory was perfect, like a rainbow—beautiful yet lethal.

The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was like a shooting star.

With one shot, myriad beasts were startled!

Enhanced by the infusion of Master-level Ganga Qi and Chu Feng's bowstring, pulled with over a hundred thousand combat power, it was equivalent to a full-force strike by a Master.

In an instant, it struck the male wolf on the mountain summit.

"Pluff!"

The Divine Ganga Arrow emitted a faint blue Qi, seemingly indestructible, directly piercing through the wolf's head.

"Boom!" The wolf's head exploded like a watermelon, blood mist filling the air. The wolf king's colossal body collapsed, already dead beyond death!

"Woo... woo..."

Beside it, the other wolf king, witnessing its mate's tragic death, immediately let out a mournful howl, a sound of pain echoing through the mountains.

The female wolf king's eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. It began searching for the enemy in its surroundings, eyes filled with vengeance.

Chu Feng walked out of the thicket, laughing heartily. However, his laughter was tinged with boundless sorrow.

"Kill! Today, I will exterminate all of you!"

Like a death god from hell, he stood tall between heaven and earth, passing a death sentence.

"Woo..."

The female wolf king was already infuriated to the extreme, letting out a long howl to the sky.

No matter what, it couldn't believe that a tiny human dared to provoke the great wolf tribe.

Moreover, it had just lost its husband to a sneak attack and killing. How could it not be furious and hateful?

Its enormous body, like a mountain, emitted an earth-shattering aura as it trampled the earth, rushing down like a tidal wave. The massive group of wolves followed suit, surging down like a flooding river.

"Roar!"

The thunderous roar shook the heavens and the earth!

Facing the overwhelming killing intent, Chu Feng showed no fear, nor did he have any intention of fleeing.

Instead, his killing intent surged, his spirit high, as he charged against the odds like a general beheading the enemy in the midst of a myriad army.

His figure was extraordinarily elegant, breaking the hearts of those who witnessed it!

...

At this moment, the main camp was unaware of the breathtaking battle about to unfold deep in the mountains. However, they were entangled in another thrilling and shocking event.

The once-controversial number 1398, which had caused a huge uproar, seemed to have fallen silent after that.

As time passed, Chu Feng's ranking had dropped to sixth place. People once again shifted their focus to number 9, Lin Zhennan, and number 3, Li Chenyi.

However, the attention-grabbing leaderboard experienced another astonishing change. With the breathtaking shot from Chu Feng's stunning arrow, the long-silent number 1398 began to surge once again. Instantly gaining a massive one hundred points, it soared to the top of the leaderboard.

"Number 1398 has moved, he's in first place! And... he gained another one hundred points, damn!" A not very loud voice resounded, shaking the entire main camp into stunned silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief, and the whole camp fell into dead silence.

"Gulon!"

The abrupt sound of someone gulping water broke the silence.

Originally, Headmaster Jiang Tian was sitting with a few Grandmasters, including Deputy Head of the Martial Association, Song Haishan, and the Principal of the First High School, Yan Liang. They were chatting and laughing.

Upon hearing this news, he became so excited that he tore out a strand of his beard, but he quickly regained his composure, stood up abruptly, and looked at the leaderboard in disbelief.

The leaderboard read:

1. Number 1398, Chu Feng, 122 points.

2. Number 9, Lin Zhennan, 99 points.

3. Number 3, Li Chenyi, 96 points.

...

Similar actions were taken by the others.

Even the calm-headed Grandmasters, who faced the world like a landslide without changing their expressions, were like this, let alone others.

The once silent square erupted into a frenzy.

"One hundred points in one go, did he kill a Second-stage Advanced Beast? What kind of strength does it take to kill a Second-stage Advanced Beast?"

"At least a Grandmaster, maybe even a Master..."

"Such a young Grandmaster, has there been one in the history of Qingzhou City?"

"I don't know about the history of Qingzhou City, but probably not in the last thirty years!"

"Gulon! One hundred points in one go, could this be a rare talent?"

Even those who were usually slow to react now understood that Number 1398, Chu Feng, was undoubtedly a rare talent.

Qingzhou TV even directed its cameras to the leaderboard, beginning a live broadcast.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Qingzhou News! The much-anticipated Five Elements Mountain Beast Trial is progressing intensely. The process has been full of twists and turns, and it is truly exciting."

"At the beginning of the trial, the talented participants such as number 9 Lin Zhennan and number 3 Li Chenyi quickly revealed their strength, ranking at the top. However, not long into the competition, the relatively unknown number 1398 began to counterattack like a rocket, surging straight to third place."

"An increase of twenty points at once, yes, he killed a Second-stage Intermediate Beast! To be able to kill a Second-stage Beast, he must be at least a Mid-stage Martial Artist, and a young man in his late teens at that. Astonishing, isn't it?"

"Yes, it shocked all of us at the time! Some speculated that this Number 1398 might be a rare talent. Just when we thought Number 1398 would soon top the list, this mysterious Number 1398 unexpectedly fell silent again. However, just now, Number 1398 suddenly began to show off... yes, directly rushing to the top!"

"He directly gained one hundred points... damn, why is Number 1398's score jumping drastically again?"

The host seemed as if struck by divine thunder, exploding with curses during the live broadcast!

Not only was he shocked, but everyone in the main camp and those watching the broadcast were also breathless, looking at the rapidly jumping scores in disbelief.

...

At this moment, a life-and-death struggle was unfolding in the mountain valley.

Chu Feng, fueled by the intense activation of the Golden Peng Breaking Void technique, moved across the ground like a mythical creature, approaching the tide of monstrous beasts resembling a mudslide.

His eleventh punch, soaring to the sky, created an endless wave of qi, resembling meteorites from outer space, striking directly towards the wolf king, resembling a small mountain.

Having consumed the heart blood of a First-stage ferocious beast and half of the heart blood from the Second-stage ferocious beast, Chu Feng keenly sensed that his blood energy had exceeded 8.

With the fifteen-fold amplification of the eleventh punch, his terrifying power reached 120,000, equivalent to the strength of an Initial-stage Grandmaster.

Despite this power, Chu Feng felt that he had not advanced to the Grandmaster level. The transformation of elemental force into astral force, projecting astral force at a distance to kill, and the other signs of reaching the Grandmaster level were not yet achieved.

Although not a Grandmaster, he was already considered a quasi-Grandmaster.

With a punch full of resentment and fury, a punch with a terrifying power of 120,000, Chu Feng, now a quasi-Grandmaster, struck like the wrath of a death god.

The wolf king, whose intelligence was close to that of humans, showed a blood-red giant eye that contracted its pupils at that moment.

Its massive claw, as thick and hard as a bucket, swung out abruptly, roaring like a dragon extending its claws, as if it could tear Chu Feng apart with a single swipe.

"Hmm?" Chu Feng's expression instantly became serious.

Although the wolf king's power was inferior to his, it unexpectedly invoked a trace of the power of heaven and earth, mysterious to the extreme.

"Realm of Profundity!"

Chu Feng had read about it in the ancient texts. Martial arts had realms such as Profundity, Momentum, Domain, and others.

"Boom!"

A terrifying collision shook the entire valley, like an earthquake.

The wolf king, surprisingly using the Profundity realm, resisted Chu Feng's astonishing blow, containing 120,000 power.

Although it was blasted backward, it remained unscathed.

"This wolf king has comprehended the Profundity realm? Impressive!" Chu Feng's face showed a moment of insight.

This Profundity realm, which invoked the power of heaven and earth, might be the key to Chu Feng advancing to the Grandmaster realm.

If he hadn't killed one of the wolf kings just now, facing the siege of two Profundity realm beasts, along with numerous other beasts, he would have been in danger.

"Profundity... kill! Fight! Fight!"

Carefully contemplating the wolf king's astonishing claw, Chu Feng punched straight in, entering the wolf pack with a fierce charge.

"Boom!"

A fist that could move mountains and shake the earth directly exploded one Second-stage Intermediate wolf, causing blood to spurt out!

Chu Feng didn't bother looking for weaknesses in the silver wolf anymore. Following the Profundity realm's subtle clues, he rampaged through, exhilaratingly engaging in a slaughter.

"Boom!" Another Second-stage Intermediate wolf was killed, and the wolf king, filled with anger, rushed over with a massive claw. Other wolves surrounded him, their claws and jaws attempting to tear him into pieces.

Chu Feng was directly in a dangerous situation.

In the nick of time, he initiated the third level of Floating Light Shadow Movement, escaping within the terrifying attacks.

Even so, he was scratched by a claw, as if struck by a heavy hammer, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

But like a madman, Chu Feng, regardless of his injuries, turned around and charged back into the wolf pack. He didn't care whether it was the wolf king or other wolves, he swung his fists fiercely.

"Boom!" With a thunderous sound, one wolf after another fell to the ground.

"Boom!" Following another strike, one more Second-stage Initial wolf was blasted to the ground, and now only three ferocious beasts remained, including the wolf king.

These three beasts, once huge and majestic, were now trembling with fear, their eyes filled with terror.

In the face of their comrades being slaughtered, even the wolf king trembled with fear.

"Roar..."

With a trembling roar, the three ferocious beasts chose not to fight but to flee.

Seemingly tireless and relentless, the ruthless figure chased after the desperately escaping beasts.

"Think you can run? Die!"

Calm now, Chu Feng's mind became as clear as a mirror.

"The Profundity realm, so that's it!"

With a single punch, he unexpectedly invoked a trace of the power of heaven and earth. After the punch was thrown, he could still freely control it.

Even with the same terrifying power of 120,000, the previous attacks were more scattered, like a broad attack surface. Now, however, he could concentrate the punch, greatly increasing its destructive power.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion resounded as the once invincible beast king was actually broken in half.

The mountain-like body collapsed, raising an endless cloud of dust.

Activating the Golden Peng Breaking Void, Chu Feng, like a giant bird of prey, pursued the terrified beasts attempting to escape for their lives.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With two colossal sounds, two ferocious beasts were directly blasted into pieces, turning into flesh and blood, scattered in the air.

If someone had captured this scene with a camera, it would undoubtedly shock the world. A small human, standing in the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the corpse of any one of these beasts taller than him.

But that person, like a war deity returned from ancient times, exuded a bloodthirsty and terrifying aura with every move, as if commanding the gods and buddhas to bow down, not to mention a few mere beasts.

"Father, mother, your unfilial son has finally avenged you. But it's not enough; I swear that within my lifetime, I will slay all the ferocious beasts and bring peace to the world!"

Chu Feng bowed deeply towards the direction of Qingzhou City.

At this moment, Chu Feng felt a deep fatigue. The frenzied battle had drained almost all his elemental energy. Also, the several minor injuries on his body brought intense pain.

Chu Feng took out a healing medicine, roughly treating his wounds. He looked at the distant corpses, revealing a content expression.

"This time, I've truly struck it rich! Compared to this, the prize for being the first in the trial is nothing."

He began joyfully collecting his spoils.

Unknown to Chu Feng, the moment he plunged into the Silver Moon Wolf pack, he caused a sensation throughout the entire base camp and even the entire Qingzhou City.

A true earth-shattering event!

As his points soared to the top of the leaderboard, it took less than half a minute for a violent fluctuation to occur.

"The points of 1398 are changing again, 172 points... instantly increased by 50 points..."

The journalist who had just exclaimed was now dumbfounded, unable to utter another word.

Because what happened next was unforgettable for a lifetime.

The points changed to 172 and did not stop, instantly jumping to 222, followed by a continuous and crazy increase.

242...

292...

...

962

"He's gone crazy! He's gone crazy! It's already 962!" A shocked journalist muttered.

No one responded to him because everyone was already numb.

Really numb!

While he was speaking, the points changed again.

1012...

The square fell into a deathly silence. There was no sound, only the insane jumps of 1398's points.

...

1542...

1862...

1962...

Still no suspense, it skipped over 2000 points.

2012...

2562...

2962...

"For f**k's sake, it's over 3000!" Someone couldn't help but shout.

At the same time, while he was speaking, the points changed again.

...

...

1542...

1862...

1962...

Still no suspense, it skipped over 2000 points.

2012...

2562...

2962...

"For f**k's sake, it's over 3000!" Someone couldn't help but shout.

At the same time, while he was speaking, the points changed again.

...

...

The points seem to never stop jumping. Everyone, including Grandmasters, is eagerly waiting for the scoreboard.

The numbers are getting faster.

3032...

3132...

3232...

Each jump adds a hundred points, but no one cares at this point. They are more concerned about how high the score will go.

3282...

After another jump, it stops at 3332.

Silence for a minute, two minutes, and still no words.

Their subconscious tells them the numbers might jump again soon.

In one go, Chu Feng killed eight second-stage junior Silver Moon Wolves and astonishingly slaughtered fifty-nine second-stage intermediate demon wolves, along with a Silver Moon Wolf King.

A one-time increase of 3210 points, added to the previous 122, totals 3332 points.

Five minutes later, people finally realize that the crazy point jump might have come to an end.

They can finally breathe, fearing their hearts couldn't take it if it continued.

"3332 points, it's a miracle!" This exclamation comes from none other than Song Haishan, the vice president of the Martial Association.

His face is filled with reminiscence as he says, "In fifty recorded similar trials by the Qingzhou Martial Association, no one has ever reached three thousand points. Not even two thousand, and even talents like Jiang Li and Xiao Daoning haven't exceeded fifteen hundred."

Although Grandmaster Jiang Tian anticipated that Chu Feng would shine in the trial, such a shocking achievement fills him with joy and disbelief.

"It seems that this kid held back during the previous test. How strong must his talent be to reach such a level in just a month? It's truly unbelievable!"

...

Even experienced Grandmasters are shocked, not to mention the citizens of Qingzhou and these journalists.

Qingzhou TV has hit the jackpot.

Countless people are glued to their TV screens, and the viewership rate has skyrocketed to 8.8%, leaving everyone else behind.

Player 1398, Chu Feng, might not have been seen by many, but that doesn't stop him from becoming a household name in Qingzhou.

The chief reporter of Qingzhou TV, riding on the live broadcast list, has gained immense popularity.

While he continues to babble and wants to dig deeper into the personal information and background of player 1398, Chu Feng.

Grandmaster Jiang Tian frowns and immediately intervenes, saying sternly, "The coverage of the trial ends here. You've worked hard. Please leave the trial headquarters immediately and go rest."

The broadcast from TV stations and major media outlets is promptly halted.

"Why?"

"You don't have the right!"

...

At first, the reporters wanted to resist, but seeing Grandmaster Jiang Tian's badge, they dare not make a sound and obediently leave.

Because Grandmasters are not to be insulted!

After expelling all media from the headquarters, the Martial Association immediately stipulates that individuals unrelated to the trial are not allowed to enter the scene.

The growth of a genius takes time, and many have perished midway.

Especially, Principal Jiang Tian knows that Chu Feng's family now only consists of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old sister. If anything happens due to enemies or malicious individuals, it would be a big problem.

As Principal Jiang Tian sits down again, the expressions of the other Grandmaster big shots looking at him are extremely vivid, mostly a mix of envy and jealousy.

Every Grandmaster is a sly old fox. Without investigation, they can guess that Chu Feng is definitely a student of Experimental High School and someone valued by Jiang Tian.

Otherwise, Jiang Tian wouldn't protect him like this.

Vice President of the Martial Association, Song Haishan, shows a wry smile, "Old Jiang, this is too much! You won't even let little Chu go and claim the badge?"

"Hehe! It has nothing to do with me. It's Little Chu who wanted to make a name for himself. By the way, from what you just said, Chu Feng is among the top in similar trials recorded by the Martial Association?" Jiang Tian smiles, quite pleased, and asks.

"Of course, the Elemental Talent Warrior Jiang Li, whom I know, had a score of 1783 when he participated in the senior high school demon beast trial. Even our current City Lord Xiao Daoning only scored 1364. Chu Feng, just based on points, is already in a league of his own," says Song Haishan with a deep sigh.

The nearby school principal, Yan Lifu, shakes his head. "It's probably not just in terms of points; his strength likely completely crushes the competition. If he can kill second-stage high-level demon beasts for the first time, with some external help like Divine Qi Arrows, the second time, slaughtering second-stage demon beasts like this, even high-level martial artists probably can't do it. At least they'd need to be grand martial artists."

"Even possibly, his strength has already stepped half into the quasi-grand martial artist realm. Though unbelievable, that's the only explanation!"

The gaze of the Grandmasters is extremely sharp!

Yan Lifu, just from the changes in the scoreboard, speculates on Chu Feng's strength to a considerable extent.

"Wow... a young grand martial artist? There hasn't been one in Qingzhou City for decades, let alone a quasi-grand martial artist. Looks like Qingzhou City is about to produce a dragon," Song Haishan inhales sharply, but he has to agree with Yan Lifu's assessment.

Yan Lifu looks at Jiang Tian with keen eyes. "Principal Jiang, how long has Chu Feng awakened his warrior talent?"

Others immediately look at Jiang Tian; this is a crucial question.

Jiang Tian extends one finger, wearing a mysterious smile. "A little over a month!"

"What?"

"Impossible?"

"What kind of talent is this? It's terrifying!"

The Grandmasters, seated in high positions, are actually shocked, similar to the reporters, instantly dumbfounded and petrified.

...

Of course, Chu Feng is unaware that he has stirred up a storm in Qingzhou.

At this moment, he grimaces, on the verge of tears, "Prodigal son! Truly a prodigal son! Why so violent, how many materials have I wasted?"

In the midst of the bloodbath, several Silver Moon Wolves have turned into scraps. The much-needed heart blood is gone, and valuable wolf pelts and claws are also missing.

What pains him most is the Silver Moon Wolf King he started shooting. The power close to the Grandmaster level, the strength of that heart blood must have been incredible, but he blew the wolf head with an arrow.

In a battle that killed nearly sixty-nine demons, he only collected 42 demon heart bloods.

Chu Feng's heart is bleeding.

At the same time, he consoles himself; he has already made a significant harvest.

Just the forty-two demon bloods are worth over ten million.

Then he begins to collect valuable materials like wolf pelts, teeth, and claws.

A huge package is actually filled to the brim.

Chu Feng regrets not buying two packages and can only discard less valuable materials.

"Realized the Profound Realm of Proficiency, yet still hasn't touched the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm. Could it be that my Blood Qi Finger is not enough? Has my Elemental Power not reached a perfect state?" Chu Feng analyzes incessantly.

After the recent crazy battle, the remaining second-stage demon blood has been completely digested.

Anyway, enhancing Blood Qi is fundamental.

Chu Feng estimates his Blood Qi is around 8.3 and drinks two portions of second-stage intermediate demon wolf blood directly.

"After digestion, Blood Qi should break through ten, right?" Chu Feng thinks to himself.

He begins to slowly activate the Body Refinement Technique and resumes cultivation.

Perhaps after seeking revenge, the mind became calm; or perhaps, due to the depletion of elemental power during the intense battle and the body being exhausted and hungry, Chu Feng felt that the absorption of the second-stage intermediate demon wolf blood was quite smooth this time.

In just a little over an hour, he actually digested quite a few.

Chu Feng's blood vigor, upgraded to intense, has reached its peak.

"Crack!"

After a slight sound, Chu Feng felt that the majestic elemental power within him broke through a limit, shattered a barrier, and suddenly began a transformation.

Elemental Power Condensation!

The symbol of a Condensation Realm Grandmaster, excites Chu Feng.

The ideal in the hearts of countless warriors, a symbol of the pinnacle talent that ordinary people can comprehend about the pinnacle of martial artists—Chu Feng is about to achieve it quickly.

Teenage Grandmaster!

A synonym for absolute top talent.

While Chu Feng is feeling excited, a mechanical voice sounds again: "Host's body blood vigor detected at 10.00, capable of withstanding a talent injection of ten thousand times... Energy accumulation complete, injection begins!"

Chu Feng clenches his fists in excitement.

Great, the ten thousand times talent is here. This is simply a double joy.

Instantly, a vast and majestic energy begins to inject from the top of his head.

The slight cool sensation, like celestial nectar, is baptizing him, changing the deepest part of his body.

Every cell, every gene, is being rearranged and reorganized perfectly.

His brain, blood, muscles, bones, blood marrow, internal organs, all undergo a transformation of rebirth.

Chu Feng feels that the speed of Elemental Power Condensation in his body suddenly soars, and the two portions of demon blood in his body quickly disappear in his limbs and bones.

"Not much else, but plenty of demon blood!" Chu Feng smirks with a hint of arrogance, directly taking out five portions of demon blood and drinking them down.

If someone sees this scene, they will definitely be horrified, maybe even pitying, waiting to see how he bursts his body absorbing such a violent amount of energy.

Even a Grandmaster wouldn't dare to absorb such a violent amount all at once.

The vast energy of demon blood is rapidly absorbed, with most being absorbed by the meridians, turning into Qi; the rest is absorbed by the body for body refinement, increasing Blood Qi.

The converted Qi flows rapidly into Qi, forming a rushing river of Qi in his body, emitting a roaring sound.

"Finally completely transformed into Qi!" Chu Feng suddenly stands up, directing a fist towards a large tree ten yards away, void-punching.

The Qi in his body instantly gathers on his fist, like a whirlpool of Qi, rushing out.

Stirring the surrounding heaven and earth forces, it forms a huge Qi fist, vibrating the space, violently striking the large tree ten yards away.

"Boom!"

A tree as thick as a bucket breaks with a sound, shocking in its power.

"Qi projection, killing from a distance!"

Chu Feng understands that he has reached the rumored Grandmaster Realm.

"I didn't expect to become a Grandmaster so quickly!" Chu Feng is secretly excited but not overly arrogant.

Having lived two lives, experienced family destruction, and faced five years of low tide without giving up, only then has he reached today's peak.

After promoting to a Grandmaster, Chu Feng perceives slightly, feeling that his current Blood Qi is 12.1.

How did his perception improve so much?

At the same time, after promoting to a Grandmaster and further enhancing talent, he has an absolute sense within a five-li radius.

Within five li, any movement is clearly sensed. Even the crawling trajectory of tiny ants, the flapping of a bee's wings, under his perception, everything is vivid.

The speed of his brain's operation is even more unimaginable.

"Such strong spiritual power, could I still have the potential of a spiritualist?"

Chu Feng naturally thinks of this strange idea in his mind.

When there's a chance in the future, he must test it.

His base strength corresponding to his Blood Qi value is 12,100. Adding the fifteen-fold amplification from the Ten Absolute Fist, it's around 190,000 battle power. This is probably at the bottom among Grandmasters.

At least, to be a Grandmaster, the Blood Qi value must be 10 or higher, and they must comprehend the Micro Realm to break through.

Such formidable individuals surely have astonishing comprehension, and most likely possess several Profound and Earth Realm techniques, with at least a tenfold increase in battle power, or even the possibility of twenty or thirty times.

Given that even Principal Jiang Tian, who could lend his Earth Realm movement technique of breaking the void, proves that Earth Realm techniques are not too rare for Grandmasters.

Even some veteran Grandmasters can bring out Heaven Realm techniques.

Chu Feng contemplates silently, wanting to urgently increase his combat power.

This time, after killing so many second-stage demon beasts, winning the trial's first place should be easy, undoubtedly making a name for himself and shaking the surroundings.

As the saying goes, "A tall tree in a forest invites the wind!" Perhaps it might provoke envy from certain people or forces.

Even though he still has over thirty portions of second-stage demon beast blood, his foundational body refinement technique is clearly outdated, and the digestion speed can't keep up.

Although the absorption rate increased dramatically after awakening the ten-thousand-fold talent, the energy contained in the second-stage demon beast blood is several times that of a first-stage demon beast.

Moreover, with reaching the Grandmaster realm, the Blood Qi value transformed by a portion of second-stage demon beast blood is less than 1.

It can be foreseen that with the improvement of Qi quality and physical quality, the Blood Qi value transformed by the second-stage demon beast blood will become lower and lower.

Unless he hunts third-stage demon beasts, which are already Grandmaster-level demons, but those are already major demons.

At the current stage, it seems that his strength is still not enough.

Furthermore, even if he is strong enough, he won't reveal his strength again unless there is a life-threatening crisis before breaking through to the Town Lord stage.

In this era where martial artists are revered, only by keeping some cards hidden can one live for a long time.

"Since the improvement in strength is limited, then it's only martial techniques..." Chu Feng mutters to himself.

In an instant, his eyes light up.

"For the subsequent moves of the Ten Absolute Fist, I couldn't comprehend them with the previous million-fold talent. With the ten-thousand-fold talent now, there should be no problem, right?"

Chu Feng starts to concentrate, automatically removing distractions, and immersing his entire being in the fist intent of the Ten Absolute Fist.

"Ten Absolute Qi, dispersed in the limbs, fist intent at the Dantian, distributed into the eight meridians..."

Except for leaving a trace of spiritual power to pay attention to the surroundings, Chu Feng quickly falls into the intoxicated comprehension of the fist intent of the Twelve Fists, like an old monk entering meditation.

"So that's how it is..."

The last time he attempted to create the Twelve Fists, he couldn't find the right path at all. Now, with the blessing of the ten-thousand-fold talent, he immediately finds the direction.

As if a breeze dispelled the mist in front.

Chu Feng sometimes uses his fingers to draw in front of him, leaving behind countless mysterious formulas. Sometimes he closes his eyes in meditation.

As time passes, his entire body gradually fills with profound fist intent, emanating out with the projection of Qi, silently crushing a mosquito that quietly flew in, exploding it into a blood mist within three meters of Chu Feng.

"Endless Absolute, the fist's momentum is like the sea!"

Chu Feng mutters to himself, his eyes open, sharp as a knife.

He slowly stands up, raises his right fist, and grips the void. Instantly, his aura is like a vast ocean, as if he can shake the entire void with a lift of his hand.

"Go!"

Chu Feng lightly drinks, the fist momentum is like a sea breaking a dam, violently striking out, raising a thousand piles of snow.

Within twenty yards, it instantly feels like an earthquake. Ancient trees break, and debris flies. Anything in front of the fist momentum will be shattered.

It's as if Mount Tai is collapsing, and meteorites are falling.

The vast starry sky, the silver moon like a hook!

As the night fell, Chu Feng paid no attention. He continued contemplating the punch he just executed.

"This punch should have a twenty-fold increase in strength!" he thought inwardly, quite satisfied with this punch.

Moreover, he keenly felt that the thirteenth punch would probably have an even greater increase. After all, it was the peak of the fist intent of the Ten Absolute Fist.

"Strike while the iron is hot, continue!" Chu Feng's thoughts flickered, and he continued to focus on creating the thirteenth punch.

One hour later, he had only sorted out the direction of the fist strength, but he wasn't in a hurry.

When Chu Feng was comprehending, he became even more aware that this last punch might reach a strength nearly thirty times his current power.

That was already the level of Heaven Realm techniques, undoubtedly challenging, but with the blessing of the ten-thousand-fold talent, he was confident in comprehending this punch.

...

While Chu Feng immersed himself in silent comprehension, contemplating the fist intent.

In the Five Elements Valley, by the Qingyun River.

A team led by Lin Zhennan was brewing a major operation.

This team consisted of five people, all martial artists, each radiating a strong aura, with formidable strength. Most of them were elites from the Martial Artist Association's elite teams.

With such a strong team, killing second-stage demon beasts was a piece of cake. Even with preparation, they could deal with second-stage intermediate demon beasts.

After a day of fighting, Lin Zhennan's score had reached 496 points, and the others were between two hundred and four hundred points.

"Haoran, are you sure there's a mutated second-stage Berserk Ape there?" Lin Zhennan asked with a grave expression.

A robust young man, constantly beating his chest, seemed to be recalling a terrifying encounter.

"It should be. That Berserk Ape is about seven to eight meters tall, like a mountain, entirely black, with faint golden patterns on its eyebrows. It should have mutated with the bloodline of a mountainous giant ape. Its aura is extremely terrifying. Fortunately, it only came to drink water and didn't notice me; otherwise, I estimate I would've been finished."

Lin Haoran spoke with lingering fear.

Hearing about the mountainous giant ape, the others also took in a cold breath.

The bloodline of the mountainous giant ape was formidable. Many mountainous giant apes that had just reached adulthood possessed Grandmaster-level strength, and some even surpassed the Grandmaster level.

"I read in ancient books that mountainous giant apes like to brew spirit wine. Many mountainous giant ape caves have stored spirit wine. I wonder if this Berserk Ape's cave has any spirit wine?" Lin Zhennan's eyes revealed endless greed.

He was currently a top-tier initial-stage martial artist, with a battle power approaching thirty thousand. Commonly found elixirs for enhancing Blood Qi and even the Blood Qi of demon beast hearts of the same level had been consumed by him. Restricted by talent, frequent consumption of common elixirs led to a decline in effectiveness.

However, spirit wine, this rare treasure, was something he had never encountered before.

With spirit wine, he could quickly advance to mid-stage martial artist, and even high-stage martial artist wasn't impossible.

"I heard from ancient books that spirit wine has astonishing effects, equivalent to a third-stage elixir, essentially a spirit medicine at the Grandmaster level, without side effects. If we can obtain it..." Lin Zhennan's eyes revealed insatiable greed.

"Leave aside the two hundred points for now. The effects of spirit wine don't need me to say more. Our strength can be rapidly improved to mid-stage martial artist. Moreover, I brought five Godly Gang Arrows and also obtained Animal Entrapment Talismans from the family. Haoran also brought three Godly Gang Arrows."

Lin Zhennan's voice was full of temptation.

"With the assistance of Godly Gang Arrows and Animal Entrapment Talismans, we have a great chance of taking down this mutated Berserk Ape. How about it? Are you in or not?"

Lin Zhennan's eyes flickered, assessing the others.

Seeing that everyone was tempted but still fearful of the Berserk Ape's strength, he continued, "With the sharing of points, if there's spirit wine in the Berserk Ape's cave, Haoran and I will take fifty-five percent, and each of you will get fifteen percent. How do you feel about that?"

Lin Zhennan was bleeding inwardly. He was afraid that the other three wouldn't agree to the risky venture, so he offered quite favorable conditions.

Considering that he was the strongest, Lin Haoran was a skilled martial artist right behind him, and he also provided Beast Entrapment Talismans and Godly Gang Arrows, which was already a significant offering.

The three others exchanged glances and nodded slowly.

Who wouldn't be tempted by spirit wine?

Furthermore, with eight Godly Gang Arrows, even if they couldn't kill the Berserk Ape, they could severely wound it. Combined with Beast Entrapment Talismans, the chances of success were already high.

On the path of martial arts, one had to go against the heavens!

Without striving, there would never be opportunities.

Among the three, a seemingly simple and honest-looking person with a smile on his face spoke, "Since we're going to kill the Berserk Ape, we need to clear out the surrounding demon beasts near the Berserk Ape's cave. We also need to eliminate the followers of the Berserk Ape. I'm afraid that the few of us won't be enough. I think we should find a few teams to cooperate with."

"Zhixu is right!" Lin Zhennan understood the other party's meaning with a glance.

Subsequently, the group began to plan.

...

A night passed without words, and the sky gradually lit up with a fish-belly white color.

Chu Feng was still creating the thirteenth punch, like a dedicated researcher seeking answers.

After half an hour, a proud and long howl suddenly echoed in the silent valley.

"Hahaha... I understand!"

In the cheerful laughter, Chu Feng rose to his feet.

His eyes were brighter than ever before, as if he held a precious pearl in his hand.

"The thirteenth punch, so that's how it is! The Ten Absolute Fist, like an avalanche."

He raised his right fist, lightly punching towards a mountain peak that protruded several meters in the distance. This punch seemed like child's play, as if a child was practicing martial arts.

However, with a "boom," it was like tens of thousands of tons of explosives had detonated.

The distant small mountain peak explosively shattered, rocks flying through the air, creating a tumultuous roar.

In the silence, a startling thunder!

"Not bad, the power of this punch is probably about thirty times my current strength! The Ten Absolute Fist has evolved into the lowest level of Heaven Realm technique." Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

A thirty-fold increase was already the peak of the Ten Absolute Fist!

However, having just entered the Master level, the Heaven Realm technique was temporarily sufficient.

He swept his vast mental power casually, finding that the five portions of second-stage demon beast heart's blood inside his body had long been digested.

"With a Blood Qi value of about 14, corresponding to a battle power of 14,000, a thirty-fold battle power, 420,000 battle power." He estimated silently.

Four hundred and twenty thousand battle power; this was already the battle power of a mid-level Master.

Chu Feng tightly clenched his fist, the excitement in his heart imaginable.

He wasn't yet eighteen years old, and he already had the battle power of a mid-level Master. If he displayed this battle power in the college entrance examination, he would undoubtedly become the top scorer.

He might even break the record for the martial arts college entrance examination in the Dragon Kingdom.

"But it can be stronger!"

He took out five portions of the Silver Moon Wolf's heart's blood and drank them directly.

Chu Feng still had more than thirty portions of wolf blood, but as his strength increased, the effect of wolf blood became less and less.

A portion of second-stage wolf blood had a Blood Qi increase of less than 0.8 now, and he estimated that these five portions would only increase the Blood Qi value by about 3 points.

With about 17 points of Blood Qi, adding a thirty-fold increase, the battle power would be around 500,000.

While Chu Feng was excited, he also felt a profound crisis regarding resources.

It seemed that in the future, he would have to search for higher-level resources. Fortunately, he still had a portion of the Wolf King's heart's blood, which contained a mutated bloodline with profound effects.

Chu Feng practiced the basic body-forging technique several times and found that the amplification effect was not very noticeable. After reaching the Master level, this basic technique was clearly not sufficient.

He revealed a wry smile and muttered to himself, "The effect is not that great. It seems like I should take a break. It looks like the most crucial thing after the trial is to find a high-level body-forging technique."

Looking at the mist covering the mountains and feeling the chilly wind in the valley, Chu Feng suddenly didn't know what to do. The martial arts technique had reached its limit, and the demon beast heart's blood was naturally digested.

Killing demon beasts during the trial was not something he planned to continue. As the saying goes, "Outstanding talents are always targeted." His current performance was already astonishing. If he continued to rapidly increase his points, showing strength far beyond that of a talented martial artist, it would undoubtedly be considered having a great secret. Some people might even capture him to conduct experiments.

Watching the wolf corpses covering the mountains, he suddenly had an idea.

"All these wolf meats on the mountain can't be taken away and are going to waste. How about making kebabs to fill my stomach?"

The life of a foodie is so carefree!

Because he had prepared in advance for a two-day trial, he quickly took out various spices and ingredients for barbecue.

With the Silver Moon Wolf's bones, he soon built a simple barbecue rack.

The Silver Moon Wolf King's wolf ribs began to sizzle after being brushed with oil, emitting a tempting aroma that made people salivate.

"My barbecue, it's the most delicious..."

Chu Feng, in a cheerful mood, hummed a carefree tune.

After brushing the oil a few times, he sprinkled various seasonings such as cumin.

A skewer of colorful, fragrant, and delicious natural wolf meat kebabs was ready.

"Mmm, delicious, too delicious!"

Chu Feng tasted the delicacies and exclaimed in satisfaction.

The wolf king's demon beast meat quickly turned into pure energy and nourished his entire body. Although the effect was far inferior to the demon beast heart's blood, it was still a considerable boost.

He cut out a large piece of the best meat from the wolf king, emitted a bit of Gang Qi to form a film of ice and snow, and prepared to bring it home for his sister to taste.

Just as Chu Feng was enjoying the delicious food, reveling in the joy, his expanded spiritual power sensed a life-and-death chase taking place about six or seven miles away.

A slightly chubby young man, at this moment, with tattered clothes and bloodstains all over, looked extremely miserable, running for his life.

While running, he screamed desperately, "Help, help!"

Chu Feng found the voice to be very familiar.

Yes, the fugitive was none other than Chu Feng's good buddy, Luo Hua.

The one chasing Luo Hua was a Back-Piercing Giant Ape, about five or six meters tall. Each jump seemed like a falling meteor, causing the ground to shake.

The demonic beast at this moment looked ferocious, as if this tiny ant in front of it had surprisingly run so well, provoking endless anger.

For someone to be chased by demonic beasts in the Five Elements Mountains was a normal occurrence. After all, "those who kill shall be killed." The key was to see the strength of both sides.

However, Chu Feng did not expect Luo Hua, this brat who was not even a martial artist, to dare provoke a second-stage primary-level demonic beast.

"This Back-Piercing Giant Ape is probably about to reach the second stage intermediate level." Chu Feng's robust spiritual power swept through, already determining the strength of this demonic ape.

But he didn't have time to consider these things. Luo Hua, as his best friend, naturally had to be saved.

Chu Feng instantly picked up a meat skewer stick, which was actually a wolf rib, activated the Golden Peng Breaks the Void, and rushed towards Luo Hua at high speed.

Luo Hua, at this moment, was trembling all over, already exhausted.

Suddenly seeing a figure rushing towards him at high speed, as if grabbing a lifesaving straw, he couldn't help but scream, "Help me!"

Chu Feng's practice in the Ten Absolute Fist had just been successful, and now he was an intermediate-stage Master with significantly increased strength. With the Godly Gang Arrows and the Beast Entrapment Talismans, he had the confidence to deal with the second-stage intermediate-level Back-Piercing Giant Ape.

As he approached, Chu Feng shouted, "Luo Hua, hold on! I'll save you!"

Luo Hua's eyes widened when he saw Chu Feng rushing over. He didn't dare to believe it, thinking it might be an illusion. However, as Chu Feng got closer, he felt a burst of excitement and disbelief. It was really Chu Feng!

At this moment, with the demonic beast closing in, Chu Feng raised the meat skewer stick in his hand and shouted, "Over

"Help, hero!"

Just as he shouted, he realized that the figure was so familiar. It was Chu Feng!

He immediately turned pale, thinking he was harming his brother. Instinctively, he quickly said, "Chu Feng, run! This is no ordinary second-stage demonic beast..."

But before he could finish speaking, he witnessed an unforgettable scene.

"Haha, it's too late to run now... but it seems like we don't need to run!" Chu Feng touched his nose, adopting a worldly-wise demeanor.

Chu Feng was indifferent to second-stage demonic beasts. Before reaching the Master level, he could already kill a quasi-Master-level mutated Silver Moon Wolf King.

Now, as an intermediate-stage Master, this Back-Piercing Giant Ape was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

While speaking, he raised his hand and threw a seemingly inconspicuous meat skewer. Like an arrow leaving the string, it disappeared in an instant with a thunderous sound.

The Back-Piercing Giant Ape, which had been chasing for a long time, roared and pounded its chest upon seeing another ant coming. It seemed as if it would devour the two in the next second.

However, with a flash of light, the giant ape suddenly stopped, spewing blood in large amounts. "Cough, cough, cough..."

It struggled to lift its arm, attempting to touch its neck.

As if its neck was being tightly squeezed by the Grim Reaper, it gasped for breath.

But everything was in vain. Its eyes dimmed, and it collapsed to the ground, kicking up endless yellow sand.

This instant event shocked Luo Hua's heart, feeling like a dream, unreal.

He had no idea that Chu Feng's meat skewer had directly pierced the giant ape's neck, the major artery, and the vigorous Qi directly shattered the artery.

And this was with Chu Feng not using much strength. If he had used Gang Qi with the skewer, the ape's head might have been gone.

"A second-stage demonic beast, killed with a single blow. How strong is my bro?" Luo Hua was amazed, looking at Chu Feng with some awe.

However, Chu Feng's friendly smile, as usual, calmed his anxious heart.

"Chu Feng, you're too powerful now, right?" Luo Hua still found it unbelievable and couldn't help blurting out.

"Okay, not bad!" Chu Feng patted Luo Hua's shoulder, jokingly saying, "Not bad? Okay? You're better than me?"

This strength definitely surpassed talents like Lin Zhennan and Li Chenyi. Chu Feng could be considered the number one talent in this generation of Qingzhou.

"This is still not bad? Then I must be worse than dirt? Alright, you're right!" Luo Hua was stunned for a moment, then went crazy with sarcasm.

Chu Feng saw Luo Hua's bewildered expression and found it amusing.

"By the way, you little guy, your courage has grown. You're not even a martial artist, yet you dare provoke a second-stage demonic beast? Admireable! But weren't you teaming up with Wang Yanran? Where's your team?" Chu Feng was a bit puzzled.

"Oh! Don't mention it. Originally, our team was peacefully killing demonic beasts, and the gains were okay. But yesterday night, Lin Zhennan suddenly came over, saying they were preparing to deal with a second-stage mutated demonic beast, the Rampaging Ape. He asked us to help clear out some demonic beasts. Originally, we disagreed, but Lin Zhennan said that if things succeeded, each person would be rewarded with a portion of second-stage demonic beast blood."

Luo Hua paused for a moment, somewhat helpless, and said, "Originally, I disagreed, but Wang Yanran and the others all agreed. I was forced to participate."

Chu Feng remembered some gossip he had heard before. Wang Yanran and Lin Zhennan were both elite members of the Martial Association. Rumor had it that their relationship was somewhat ambiguous.

Luo Hua and Lin Zhennan were rivals in love. It was not surprising that Luo Hua disagreed. Still, considering Wang Yanran and others agreed, it wasn't hard to understand.

Through Luo Hua's narration, Chu Feng finally had a rough understanding of the situation.

Lin Zhennan, in order to hunt down the mutated second-stage demonic beast, the Rampaging Ape, had promised substantial rewards. He invited Luo Hua and two other teams to assist in eliminating the second-stage demonic beasts around the Rampaging Ape's territory. Their task also included clearing out the followers of the Rampaging Ape.

Initially, everything went smoothly. The four teams cooperated seamlessly, exterminating the outer demonic beasts. However, an unexpected incident occurred at the entrance of the Rampaging Ape's cave.

According to Lin Zhennan, there were only three or four second-stage Rampaging Apes inside the cave. However, when Lin Haoran used an arrow to lure them out, suddenly seven or eight second-stage demonic apes rushed out. The three teams couldn't resist and were dispersed before they could retreat.

The terrifying Ape King appeared, instantly slaughtering a team of six people.

Luo Hua's team was relatively lucky. They didn't encounter the Ape King head-on, but they were still scattered and had to flee in different directions.

...

"This is a cunning plan, but it's too ruthless!" Chu Feng pondered for a moment, understanding the gist of the matter.

Luo Hua looked puzzled, seemingly contemplating the meaning behind Chu Feng's words.

"Clearing out outer demonic beasts is just a smokescreen, or rather, it's irrelevant. They brought these people here as cannon fodder."

"If you can kill the Ape King's minions, that's great. If you can't and they escape, it will undoubtedly attract the pursuit of second-stage demonic apes. This way, they have time to deal with the Ape King while also eliminating the isolated second-stage demonic apes."

"Damn, these people are despicable and scum... Wang Xu's team was annihilated! I wonder if Yanran and the others managed to escape?" Luo Hua also understood, recalling his brothers who had faced life and death situations, his eyes reddening.

In an era where strength was paramount, human life was cheap.

"Wait a minute... Something's not right..." Chu Feng's calm expression suddenly changed.

His brows furrowed, showing some confusion. "Killing a single Rampaging Ape doesn't require such elaborate planning. Why bring in three teams? Besides, the Rampaging Ape is only worth two hundred points. They could have easily killed several second-stage intermediate or advanced demonic beasts without risking so much!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Luo Hua had a sudden realization. "I know. When I was running for my life, I encountered a member of the Martial Association's elite team. He cursed Lin Zhennan, calling him despicable for using his brothers as cannon fodder just to obtain the Purple Origin Spirit Wine."

"I didn't understand the meaning back then, but now it seems like this Ape King should have the bloodline of a Mountain Giant Ape."

"And Mountain Giant Apes are skilled at brewing spirit wine. I heard it has extraordinary effects on body forging. Lin Zhennan must be risking his life for the Purple Origin Spirit Wine." Luo Hua was not foolish. Even though they lacked experience, he quickly understood.

"Purple Origin Spirit Wine?" Chu Feng muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a deep longing.

This rare spiritual item, if obtained, would likely lead to a significant increase in his blood qi.

"It must be obtained!" Excitement surged within him, and he impatiently said, "Where is the Rampaging Ape's cave?"

Luo Hua, feeling low-spirited, took a moment to react and looked at the signboard, recalling the route he took to escape. "Northwest, approximately thirty miles away."

"Good!" Chu Feng unfolded his figure, disappearing into the distance like a soaring golden-winged roc, moving as fast as lightning.

Wind carried his words: "The materials and heart blood of the Back-Piercing Giant Ape are left for you. There's a grilled skewer feast prepared on the mountain peak over there... Hurry and have some... Take care!"

As Chu Feng swiftly advanced, he soon came across a corpse along the way, its head smashed by a heavy object, likely a result of a slap from the Back-Piercing Giant Ape.

Chu Feng recognized the person; it was a member of Luo Hua's team. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to linger and continued on his mad dash.

Soon, he heard the intense sounds of battle ahead.

"I've used the Beast Entrapment Spirit Symbol to trap the Ape King. Everyone, quickly use the Divine Force Arrows to attack."

Chu Feng, like a shadow, silently appeared on a millennium-old tree. He saw a terrifying Rampaging Ape, at least eight or nine meters tall, with muscles like rocks exuding destructive power. Two arrows were deeply embedded in its body—these were Divine Force Arrows.

The area around the Rampaging Ape's body seemed to have an invisible barrier, shimmering with spiritual light, trapping it inside. The Ape King violently attacked, each strike as powerful as a heavy cannon, but the barrier seemed on the verge of breaking with every blow, only to recover instantly with a flash of light.

"Quick, kill this beast!" Lin Zhennan's eyes were full of anger, his whole body battered.

Their group of five was now reduced to four, and it seemed he had underestimated the Ape King's strength.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

For a moment, four Divine Force Arrows roared like thunder, tearing through the air like the hands of a death god, aiming at the Ape King.

With the support of the Master-level Divine Force, the Divine Force Arrows were invincible.

Trapped as it was, the Rampaging Ape couldn't dodge the Divine Force Arrows. It could only awkwardly raise its right paw, deflecting one arrow that was aimed at its heart.

"Bang!"

An arrow directly exploded the Ape King's left eye, while the other three arrows all hit its chest.

Although the Rampaging Ape had awakened the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape, it wasn't a true Mountain Giant Ape and couldn't compare to a Master-level Divine Force-enhanced Divine Force Arrow.

The Ape King was immediately critically injured. With one eye blinded, it let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The Ape King crossed its arms, making a strange movement. Immediately, the golden inscriptions on its forehead dimmed, but its colossal body instantly expanded by a third, emitting an aura far surpassing before, violent to the extreme.

"Sacrificing its bloodline, it's about to go all out!"

Chu Feng's powerful spiritual force swept over, instantly understanding that this attack's power had exceeded one hundred thousand, reaching the level of a Master.

"Unfortunately, these people's strengths are too weak! Even before I advanced to Master, I had absolute confidence in shooting the Ape King with a single arrow, just like when I killed the Silver Moon Wolf King." Chu Feng thought to himself.

"These few weaklings dare to plot for the Purple Origin Spirit Wine! They simply don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Chu Feng's eyes showed a hint of contempt.

However, the Beast Entrapment Spirit Symbol was indeed a rare treasure. It could trap a second-stage mutated demonic beast for a short time, and its value was not low.

While Chu Feng pondered, the Ape King directly broke free and charged towards Lin Zhennan's group with deep hatred.

"Run!" Lin Zhennan was instantly frightened, his face drained of color. He had no time to pay attention to others and fled in panic.

Watching the Ape King roar and chase the others like a gust of wind gradually moving away, Chu Feng lightly landed on the ground.

"Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! This time, I'm the oriole." Chu Feng said with a hint of self-mockery.

With his formidable spiritual power sweeping over the surroundings and confirming there were no immediate threats, Chu Feng swiftly moved towards the Ape King's cave.

The entrance to the enormous cave was about ten meters high, and the interior was even more spacious, resembling a palace.

As Chu Feng walked near a stone door, a sharp aura, vibrating the surrounding void like a meteor falling, struck.

Chu Feng remained calm, raising his hand to the void, and the sharp claw instantly stopped in mid-air, as if frozen by a pause button, unable to descend any further.

"Hmph! A beast still dares to attempt a sneak attack?" He snorted coldly. With a punch, a massive fist shadow, like a mountain, full of diverse and overwhelming aura, descended.

In fact, his powerful spiritual force had long detected a second-stage intermediate Back-Piercing Giant Ape behind the stone door.

If his guess was correct, there must be a valuable item behind the door, possibly the Purple Origin Spirit Wine.

That's why he pretended to be unaware and walked over.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound echoed, and the violent Qi directly shattered all vitality of the Giant Ape, killing it instantly.

Chu Feng pushed open the heavy stone door and found a massive stone table inside, with huge stone cups on it like bowls.

Chu Feng's eyes lit up; this was obviously the Ape King's drinking place.

"It seems that the Purple Origin Spirit Wine is indeed real."

Soon, in the northern part of the stone room, he discovered a storage area with two giant jars inside.

With a single-handed gesture, the two stone jars fell in front of him. He eagerly opened one of them.

Instantly, a rich wine aroma spread out, refreshing and intoxicating.
