C130 Palm-lock Teasing
When the spiritual qi around Zuo Feng's body started to dissipate, everything returned to normal. This extremely ordinary looking youth, however, was very difficult for others to imagine that he had already broken through the "Demon Barrier Perplexing Heart", confirming his own cultivation of the "Dao".
Judging from his appearance, Zuo Feng was only at the second grade of the Bone Refining stage. However, who would have thought that in less than two hours, he had overcome an obstacle that many people would never be able to overcome in their entire lives.
What made Zuo Feng a little depressed was that he could feel the overflowing spiritual energy in his body, but he could not feel the effects of the body transformation at all. But what he didn't know was that after his body had been tempered by thunder and after that dangerous death, it was already considered a special existence. It was already difficult for him to feel the changes in his body with a normal cultivation advancement.
As he understood more and more about his body and his control over himself, Zuo Feng gradually realized how terrifying his current body was. However, he was only at the second level of the Bone Refining stage. Thus, he could only be considered a beginner.
Sensing the slight saltiness at the corner of his mouth, his tongue licked a bit and a faint taste of blood entered his mouth. Zuo Feng wanted to wipe the blood from his mouth and chin, but with a thought, he raised his right arm and used the "Prison Lock" on his wrist to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
However, right after, he looked at the "Prison Lock" in his hand with astonishment. The expected "Prison Lock" opened by itself after being tainted with blood did not happen. Zuo Feng's heart sank slightly. He then took out his short blade and cut his right palm open. Then, he directly smeared the blood on the "Prison Lock".
However, after the "prison" had been smeared over by the blood, not a single movement could be seen from it, let alone the fact that it had automatically unlocked it. At this moment, three black lines slowly appeared on Zuo Feng's forehead.
Back then, when he had witnessed the benefits of breaking the "Prison Lock", he had worn it again after a slight hesitation. However, the main reason why he made this decision at that time was because he thought that as long as he smeared the blood on the "prison", it would be undone. The reality in front of him was not as simple as he thought.
Zuo Feng's face turned sullen as he recalled the details of his fight with Teng Li. If he couldn't figure out the reason, he would still have to carry this heavy burden and fight with others in the future. Scenes of the battle surfaced in his mind, from the time Teng Li unleashed his masochistic Martial Technique, to when he desperately tried to defend, to when he was heavily injured and vomiting blood.
Suddenly, the image in his mind froze. It was the exact moment when he was injured and vomiting blood. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he muttered to himself, "It can't be, it shouldn't be."
As he mumbled to himself, Zuo Feng once again recalled all the experiences he had gone through, and his face completely fell. F * ck, are you planning to keep playing me to death? 'What kind of person is Ning Xiao? Must he play to the death the person who received his teachings? '
Zuo Feng thought this in his heart, and now he had an idea as to how to unlock this' prison '. The method to unlock the prison was in his body. Like he guessed, it was using blood as a medium. However, this blood was not ordinary blood. It required his blood essence.
It was only after he kept thinking and recalling the scene back then that he was finally able to confirm this tragic fact. At that time, Teng Qingshan's fierce and violent attack caused great damage to his body and even to his meridians. He did indeed spit out a small mouthful of blood, and it just so happened to spurt onto the 'cage'.
However, that small mouthful of blood was the blood essence of his body. Zuo Feng's blood essence had already started fusing with the beast spirit during the process of body forging and transformation. Zuo Feng suspected that his blood essence also contained the essence blood of the Wolf Devouring Barbarian Beast. It should also be this kind of essence blood that possessed the ability to unlock the 'shackles'.
Zuo Feng's guess was completely correct. Back then, the old man named Ning Xiao had only been able to unlock the "prison" when the person was in critical danger. Moreover, the crystal that he gave to Zuo Feng could also be sealed. However, Zuo Feng was afraid that if he exposed his crystal, it would be detrimental to him, so he never thought about it.
Zuo Feng's chest churned as he had heard all the dirty words since he was young. He scolded the old man called Ning Xiao harshly before angrily standing up and returning to the stone tower. As he stood up, his eyes casually glanced at his palm.
What surprised him was that the wound that had just been cut by the short blade had stopped bleeding completely. Although the wound was still there, the healing speed was even faster than when the hemostatic drug was given.
Zuo Feng wasn't sure. He had just guessed the change in his blood essence. However, he didn't know that he still had the blood essence of that terrifying demon beast in his body. That day, that little beast had asked that beast to save Zuo Feng, and at the same time, it had also given a drop of its precious blood essence to Zuo Feng.
This drop of seemingly unremarkable golden liquid was actually condensed from demonic beasts that had a cultivation level above Rank 4 that had taken decades to condense. Furthermore, if it wasn't for the fact that their lives were in danger, they wouldn't have used it that easily. The fact that a small beast could invite a demonic beast was already too strange, so even if Zuo Feng knew about this at this moment, he wouldn't believe it.
Zuo Feng looked at the wound on his palm and felt astonished. At the same time, the image of the little beast appeared in his mind. Smiling faintly, since Zuo Feng came out to participate in this time's exam, and that little beast fell into a deep sleep again, he left it in the house that he lived in previously. But for some reason, when he felt the changes in his body, he would subconsciously think of this little beast.
"It seems that every time my body changes, that little guy will always be by my side. "In Yan City, psychokinesis was produced in the Sea of Consciousness. The Sky Screen Mountain Range's body was like a wild beast rampaging about."
Zuo Feng muttered to himself, but kept thinking about the origin of this little beast. He already felt that this little beast was not simple. He had already secretly made up his mind that he must pay more attention to this little beast. It might be of great use to his future cultivation and advancement.
While thinking about this, Zuo Feng also walked out of the forest. At this moment, there were already many people in the open space outside the forest. They were all the people who had participated in the trial. At this moment, some people were covered in wounds while others were still in a deep coma while others had already turned into cold corpses.
Among them, the most eye-catching were the one brought by Steward Wang, the young man whose head had been smashed by Zuo Feng, and the short boy whose head had also been smashed by the vine. At this moment, the faces of the people leading the two teams were frosted over, as if they were trying very hard to suppress their anger to not burst out.
"Who, who is it?" Whoever killed him, stand up for me. "
Surprisingly, the one who shouted was not the two who paid attention to their work, but a red-faced old man. Upon hearing his shout, the surrounding people all turned their gazes in that direction. Zuo Feng also looked in that direction, and then the corpse of a youth with a sallow complexion entered his sight.
That young man was the one Zuo Feng met on the third floor, the yellow-faced young man who called himself an assassin. The red-faced elder was naturally brooding over the youth's death. However, no matter how much he shouted, no one paid attention to him. Everyone just indifferently looked at him.
"In the end, who killed him? Let me tell you, this young master Lian is not a member of our branch family." If anyone were to kill him, it would be best for him to stand out. This young master was the descendant of the 'Black Hand' Lian Yun. I hope that no matter who did it, it would be best for you to not cause any trouble for the forces you are part of, and obediently step forward for me. "
When Zuo Feng heard "Black Hand Cloud", his eyebrows slightly twitched. Although this was the first time he had heard of this name, he was definitely a person with great power. From the tone of the red-faced old man, it seemed as if "Black Hand Clouds" did not care about the city lords and commanders at all.
"I'm afraid that I accidentally provoked a huge trouble. However, Zuo Feng is not afraid. After all, the stone tower is completely sealed off." As long as I don't tell them, perhaps no one will ever know that I killed him. '
As he was thinking this, his eyes swept through the surrounding people. He just happened to see the enchanting yellow-haired woman looking in his direction. Zuo Feng's heart skipped a beat. That yellow-haired girl was the opponent he met on the first level. However, his eyes seemed to vaguely guess that she was the fierce beast from the 'Gongzi Lian' that he killed.
The expression on Zuo Feng's face didn't change as he looked at the yellow-haired woman with confidence. When the yellow-haired woman saw this, she stared blankly for a moment before slowly retracting her gaze.
Just as the space below the tower was falling into chaos, a cold snort suddenly came from the top of the tower. After that, the old man in green clothes jumped down from the fifth floor. As he landed, he suddenly unleashed a palm strike, and his body was sent flying back by half a foot. Only then did he safely land on the ground.
To Zuo Feng, who had seen 'illusions' before, this old man's' landing safely 'was just too comical. However, he was not an idiot. Naturally, like the others, he threw "shocked" and "envious" gazes.
The old man's gaze swept past the surrounding people as if he was enjoying the feeling of being looked up to. Clearing his throat, he slowly said: "The exam is already over. As for the winner, everyone has seen it."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look towards Zuo Feng. Of course, among these gazes, there were envy, jealousy and hostility. However, when the old man casually glanced at Zuo Feng, he suddenly froze and said in disbelief.
"Little friend, your aura is still fluctuating. "Could it be that I broke through in the short time it took for me to check the spiral tower? Moreover, I can't even see through your cultivation. This is quite rare."
Hearing the elder's words, the surrounding people were all shocked as well. Then, they looked at Zuo Feng in shock. Although some people had already noticed it before, most of them had only noticed Zuo Feng's special ability after the old man had spoken and awakened.
