Chapter 3606 - Lending A Helping Hand
“Y-you’re saying that my b-brother managed t-to b-benefit from t-the lake?” asked w.a.n.g Qiang.
“He
managed to make two successive breakthroughs. His actual cultivation
right now is that of a rank three Exalted,” replied the Blood-devouring
Demon Exalted.
“He
a-actually managed to make t-tw-two successive breakthroughs? T-this
d-d.a.m.ned b-ba-b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he a-actually lied t-to even me,” although w.a.n.g
Qiang was speaking with great displeasure, he had an extremely overjoyed
look on his face. It was clear that he was rejoicing for Chu Feng’s
breakthroughs in cultivation.
“Hehe, my-my br-br-br-brother is truly amazing.”
“That
Zhang Ya-yanfeng r-relied on the martial co-comprehension he gained on
t-the Void Seat, in a-a-addition to the martial comprehension he gained
from the lake, to ma-ma-make two successive breakthroughs. However, my
b-brother only re-relied on the power of the lake t-to make two
successive breakthroughs.”
“Hehe. He-here I w-was wondering h-how could my br-brother lose to that Zhang Yanfeng.”
“Tha-that said, he a-actually lied t-to me. I’ll t-teach him a le-lesson later.”
“He
wasn’t deliberately concealing his cultivation. It is likely caused by
the Sacred Tree Seed,” said the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted.
“Ah? It’s b-because of the S-sacred Tree Seed, t-t-that cultivation t-treasure from t-the Sacred Tree Throne?”
“Y-y-you
mean t-to say t-that my br-bro-bro-brother a-act-act-act-actually
managed to obtain t-the Sacred Tree Seed?” w.a.n.g Qiang became even more
excited.
“He
must’ve obtained it. Only the Sacred Tree Seed would cause his
bloodline power to change. The Sacred Tree Seed is not that easily
refined. It will fight back. That is the reason why Chu Feng’s
cultivation has weakened.”
“That
said, his cultivation didn’t really decrease. Once his bloodline power
has refined the Sacred Tree Seed, Chu Feng will be able to recover his
cultivation,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted explained.
“He’s
on-on-only going to r-re-re-recover his cultivation? W-what about the
benefits from t-the Sacred Tree Seed?” asked w.a.n.g Qiang.
“Have a guess,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted looked to w.a.n.g Qiang with suspense.
“Tsk,”
w.a.n.g Qiang rolled his eyes at the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted. Based
on the way he looked, w.a.n.g Qiang knew that Chu Feng would definitely be
able to gain benefits from the Sacred Tree Seed once it was refined by
his bloodline power.
“Lord Demon Exalted, I can’t hold on anymore! Please save me!”
An
ear-piercing scream was heard. Zhang s.h.i.+rui cried out for help. She was
still struggling, but she had expressed that she was unable to last any
longer.
“Hold firm to your conviction and control yourself,” said the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted.
“Senior, save me! Save me!”
However, Zhang s.h.i.+rui was acting as if she could not hear the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted. She continued to cry for help.
“Senior, she seems to be about to collapse. Would you be able to come to her a.s.sistance?” Chu Feng asked.
Even
though Chu Feng was also in great pain, not only was he able to
continue to resist the pain, but he was also able to observe the others.
Chu Feng discovered that even though the three Zhang siblings were all
in great pain, Zhang Yanfeng’s situation was gradually improving.
As
for Zhang Boyi, he was still able to withstand the pain. If he
continued like that, he would definitely be able to pa.s.s the trial too.
Only
Zhang s.h.i.+rui was unable to withstand the pain. If this situation were
to continue, her body would explode and she would die.
That was not a joke. She would really end up dying.
“If this old man were capable of helping, I would’ve done so already.”
“Young
friend Chu Feng, the four of you are the ones that have a.s.similated
with that power. You can only rely on yourselves. Even for help, it can
only be the four of you helping each other.”
“However,
you four should know better than anyone how strong that power is. Being
already taxed to look after yourself, how could you possibly a.s.sist
another?”
“Thus, the four of you truly can only rely on yourselves right now,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted said.
Right
after his words were said, Chu Feng began to swim in the water
haltingly. He arrived beside Zhang s.h.i.+rui and placed his hands on her
temples.
Then, his spirit power began to pour into her mind.
Chu Feng was actually helping Zhang s.h.i.+rui.
“Young
friend Chu Feng, what you’re doing is very dangerous. You will bring
harm upon yourself,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted urged against it
upon seeing it.
“Senior,
you’ve said that only the four of us can fuse with this power. We four
are one. If we do not help each other when we can, we will instead lose a
helping hand. That would be truly detrimental,” said Chu Feng.
Hearing those words, the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted’s gaze changed. Then, he looked to w.a.n.g Qiang who stood beside him.
“My br-brother is like t-that.”
“Otherwise, I w-wouldn’t h-have thought so h-hi-hi-highly of him.”
“Back then, I w-w-was-was conquered by his s-sp-spirit of selflessness,” said w.a.n.g Qiang.
The
Blood-devouring Demon Exalted only said one sentence in response to
w.a.n.g Qiang’s praises, “This brother of yours will be able to achieve
greatness.”
With Chu Feng’s help, Zhang s.h.i.+rui, who was on the verge of dying, slowly started to stabilize get condition.
Zhang Yanfeng and Zhang Boyi also managed to successfully withstand the power.
In the end, the looks of pain on their faces started to disappear.
The four of them had all managed to successfully withstand the complete fusion of the Void Sacred Tree’s power within the lake.
“Chu Feng.”
Seeing Chu Feng before her, Zhang s.h.i.+rui had a very complicated look on her face.
She
had truly felt like she was on the verge of dying earlier. She was
certain that if the situation had continued on its course, she would
have died.
Never
had she expected to be saved. More than that, she did not expect that
the person who had saved her was not the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted
or her two older brothers. Instead, it was Chu Feng.
However, she had been ridiculing Chu Feng earlier.
Zhang
s.h.i.+rui saw that Chu Feng had a deathly pale complexion, bloodshot eyes,
and appeared to be even worse off than her two older brothers.
Zhang s.h.i.+rui was no fool. She knew that his current appearance was caused by him helping her.
That
was the reason why she felt so complicated. Guilt and self-blame filled
her heart. She felt that she was truly unworthy of Chu Feng’s help. She
felt that she was an extremely bad person.
“Don’t bother saying thanks. In the future, just make sure to not curse people out,” Chu Feng said with a grin.
Chu Feng was trying to tease Zhang s.h.i.+rui. He did not wish to burden her too much.
Even
though she had a very nasty mouth and a rather unruly personality, Chu
Feng was able to tell that the girl’s nature was not bad. His impression
of her was pretty good too. Otherwise, he would not have acted to save
her.
After
Chu feng teased Zhang s.h.i.+rui, Zhang s.h.i.+rui actually opened her mouth.
She wanted to laugh. However, for some unknown reason, after she opened
her mouth, she started to cry.
Her
crying appearance was very ugly. She felt truly sad and, more than
anything, ashamed of herself. She wanted to say something to Chu Feng.
Yet, she was unable to say anything.
It
wasn’t that she didn’t want to say what she wanted to say. Instead, she
didn’t dare to speak her mind because it was too embarra.s.sing.
Seeing that, Zhang Yanfeng and Zhang Boyi rushed over.
“This… you two must’ve seen the situation earlier, I didn’t bully her,” Chu Feng explained.
Even
without Chu Feng’s explanation, Zhang Yanfeng and Zhang Boyi knew what
had happened earlier. Thus, the two of them were also filled with
grat.i.tude toward Chu Feng.
“Brother Chu Feng, thanks a lot.”
“We
both witnessed what you did earlier. We truly thank you. If it wasn’t
for you, our little sister would definitely not have been able to
survive.”
“Thank you, truly, thank you.”
Zhang Yanfeng bowed deeply and respectfully at Chu Feng.
“Brother
Chu Feng, I hope that you will forgive me for my offenses earlier,”
Zhang Boyi was even more emotional. He actually directly knelt before
Chu Feng.
