Chen Feng said in some surprise, "Alright, then I'll go first!"
He happened to have a few questions he wanted to ask.
Before long, Chen Feng arrived at where Teacher Qian was.
Teacher Qian Hu was in charge of recruiting this year's new students.
Any problems could be brought to him.
In the office, when Qian Hu saw Chen Feng arrive, a smile appeared on his face as he was about to speak.
But then his expression turned astonished and grave. In a single step, he arrived before Chen Feng.
He reached out and grabbed Chen Feng's arm.
Chen Feng instinctively wanted to resist, but remembering Teacher Qian Hu's identity, he forcibly held himself back.
At that moment, however, Teacher Qian Hu's hands directly felt over Chen Feng's body, sensing the strength within it. His eyes were filled with amazement and shock as he exclaimed, "With this degree of bodily tempering, did you break through to the peak of the second rank in just these past few days?"
Qian Hu's eyes burned as he stared at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't he at Late Second-grade?
But seeing Qian Hu's expression, he naturally did not say so. He merely nodded. "Yes."
"During yesterday's battle with the demons, the bottleneck my cultivation technique had been stuck at suddenly broke through."
"I stayed in the village for one more night, and when I woke up this morning, I felt that my cultivation had advanced."
He concealed the existence of the panel.
A complicated look appeared in Qian Hu's eyes as he sighed, "What cultivation technique do you practice?"
Chen Feng said, "Blood Dragon Incantation!"
Though it had mutated.
Its aura should still belong to the Blood Dragon Incantation.
Upon hearing this, Qian Hu's expression changed slightly. "Blood Dragon Incantation? You actually practice that technique?"
"If possible, I suggest that you switch to a new technique."
Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled. "Why?"
He had even been planning to exchange for more resources related to Demon essence blood to raise his cultivation.
Why was Qian Hu now telling him to change cultivation techniques?
Qian Hu's expression was complicated as he said, "Do you know that this technique belongs to the demon body-refining techniques?"
Chen Feng nodded. "I know a little."
After the cultivation techniques had fused, he had already discovered that it was not only Demon essence blood he could refine. Any demon flesh and blood could be refined to increase his strength.
Qian Hu said gravely, "Among Body Refining Techniques, the Blood Dragon Incantation is considered rather special."
"Before the fourth rank, it is fine. Ordinary Qi and Blood Pills and Demon essence blood can both be used for cultivation."
"But after reaching the fourth rank, you must seek out special demons that contain dragon blood, refining demons with dragon bloodlines before you can break through your realm."
"The fourth realm of demon body refinement is also called the Blood Fusion Realm, the Body Fusion Realm."
"You may know what that means?"
Chen Feng's eyes turned thoughtful. "Refine dragon blood? Transform into a dragon?"
Qian Hu nodded. "That's right."
"If this had been decades ago, when our Great Qian was still powerful, there naturally would have been no need to worry. On the Demon Battlefield, demons with dragon bloodlines could still be slain."
"But now, hunting dragon-blooded demons again is far too difficult."
"You will be stuck at the fourth rank for who knew how many years."
"I suggest that you choose a new technique."
As he spoke, Qian Hu's eyes were filled with gravity.
He was truly worried about Chen Feng's future path!
Yet Chen Feng merely frowned slightly, his eyes thoughtful as he asked, "Is the Blood Dragon Incantation not powerful enough?"
Qian Hu shook his head. "Of course not. Back then, the Blood Dragon lineage was an extremely top-tier existence on the Demon Battlefield."
"Ordinary demons had no power to resist before the Blood Dragon lineage. They were merely food for the Blood Dragon lineage."
"It is only a pity that later, because of internal strife, and because the Blood Dragon lineage hunted the dragon race, it provoked a great siege by the demons. As a result, the Blood Dragon lineage has long since become exceedingly weak. Even if you want resource support later on, I fear it will be difficult."
Chen Feng nodded instead. "That does not matter."
"I will cultivate on my own and obtain my own resources."
He did not take Qian Hu's words too much to heart.
Nor did he understand much about them.
He only believed in his own panel. Since the Blood Dragon Incantation had such high potential, he naturally would not give it up now and waste time.
Concern filled Qian Hu's eyes as he said gravely, "If you give up the Blood Dragon Incantation and cultivate another technique instead."
"I can make the decision to give you compensation according to the standards for elite students. At that time, even if you do not go out to slay demons, you can still receive support in Qi and Blood Pills and cultivation techniques."
Yet Chen Feng did not hesitate in the slightest. He said gravely, "I'm afraid that won't work."
"My goal in this life is to slay demons and avenge my father."
His previous experiences had already proven that during the process of slaying demons, the proficiency of every skill increased faster. The Blood Dragon Incantation was even more suited to his cultivation.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to give it up now.
"You!"
Qian Hu's expression changed slightly, and he said with mixed feelings, "The standards for elite disciples had originally already been prepared. I never expected you to make such a choice."
"I suggest you think it over some more. Compared to a road like yours that cannot advance, other cultivation techniques are a broad, smooth path."
"Otherwise, if you wish to receive elite student training again, it will certainly be exceedingly difficult."
Chen Feng nodded. "There's no need to consider it further. I will find time to challenge the Wind and Cloud Ranking."
"Then I believe I won't lack many resources."
Qian Hu looked at the calm expression on Chen Feng's face, confusion appearing in his eyes. "You don't seem afraid of failure?"
"Even after I've told you so much, you still don't think Blood Fusion and Body Fusion will bring any great danger?"
"When the time comes, it is highly possible that you will be controlled by the demons' Qi, blood, and Killing Intent, becoming a demonic servant."
Chen Feng shook his head and smiled. "I'm not afraid."
I only believe in the path I walk myself.
Qian Hu did not say anything more upon hearing this. He merely said with complicated eyes, "Then I look forward to seeing your name on the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking soon."
Chen Feng nodded. "Naturally."
Afterward, he left Qian Hu's office.
Chen Feng pondered to himself. He truly had not expected demon body refinement to have such a drawback.
But with the panel, he naturally feared no threat.
Any demon Killing Intent would all be refined and absorbed by him.
After leaving, Chen Feng first went to the academy's administrative hall and exchanged the points for slaying three demons this time.
A full two hundred points.
Then, he directly spent one hundred points to exchange for a Yellow-rank weapon similar to a Tang Saber.
It had only two traits: sturdiness and weight.
For Chen Feng, that was naturally enough.
Then he returned to his own courtyard and began cultivating the Crimson Flame Saber Art in seclusion.
As long as he raised his offensive methods and cultivation, he could sooner slay dragon-blooded demons.
When Lin Xue saw Chen Feng return, her eyes were naturally filled with joy. "Husband."
Chen Feng had not returned yesterday, though Wan Baoyang had sent word.
Lin Xue had still been somewhat worried.
Only now, seeing Chen Feng return, did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and throw herself directly into his arms.
Chen Feng smiled. "Wife!"
Seeing the worry on Lin Xue's face, Chen Feng's heart ached for her as well.
He then directly led Lin Xue into the bedroom.
Then, beneath Lin Xue's bashful gaze.
You enjoyed a pleasant time. Your Yin Yang Arts proficiency +10. Your Yin Yang Arts proficiency beginner progress: 60%.
Sensing this, joy also appeared on Chen Feng's face.
It seemed Yin Yang Arts would improve in just a few more days.
Then, he directly held the Tang Saber and cultivated according to the Crimson Flame Saber Art.
In only a short time.
The panel information refreshed.
You completed one round of Crimson Flame Saber Art cultivation. You obtained the new martial skill Crimson Flame Saber Art!
Over the following days, Chen Feng remained in his courtyard. He slept only four hours a day, spending all his remaining time cultivating the Crimson Flame Saber Art day and night.
