New Passive Skill

"Entered Bitter Bamboo Peak?"

When Zhao Wu learned that Zhou Feng had entered Bitter Bamboo Peak, his tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

Bitter Bamboo Peak was full of Starving Ghosts. No one there would listen to him.

Zhao Wu had originally thought someone might manage to crawl out of the Gu Cultivation Den.

Anyone who came out of that place could be crushed to death with a single finger.

But unexpectedly, this Zhou Feng had first killed Zhao Jun.

Then, in just a few months, he had successfully reached the Qi Induction Realm.

In the end, he had even killed Xiong Dan, whom Zhao Wu had sent after him.

At this rate, the man might have been able to keep bouncing around for a while longer.

But since he had been assigned to Bitter Bamboo Peak, there was no need to keep an eye on him.

Zhao Wu knew perfectly well what kind of people lived on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

Zhou Feng simply could not survive in a place like that.

It was just a pity that the Storage Bag and all those resources were gone.

"Forget it! Consider it feeding the dogs!"

Zhao Wu truly did not want to provoke the lunatics of Bitter Bamboo Peak over a Storage Bag, some Blood Pills, and Origin Blood Pills.

Once they latched onto him, it would be difficult to shake them off.

What Zhou Feng did not know was that Zhao Wu, who had been investigating him and looking for trouble, had also called it quits upon learning that he had entered Bitter Bamboo Peak.

Because Bitter Bamboo Peak really was not a place ordinary people could endure.

At least a hundred disciples joined Bitter Bamboo Peak every year, yet there were probably not even twenty disciples left on the mountain now.

Time flew by, and it had now been ten days since Zhou Feng became a member of Bitter Bamboo Peak.

During this time, the Bloodthirsty Gu inside him had transformed into a Demon Devouring Gu.

At the same time, his cultivation had reached the third level of the Qi Induction Realm. His progress was simply terrifying.

In ten days, he had gone from the first level of the Qi Induction Realm to the third. This speed was already exceptionally fast compared to other Inner Sect disciples.

During this time, he had even gone to the sect's Scripture Repository and learned a movement technique for free.

This movement technique was called Ghost Shadow Steps. When used, it made him move like a ghost and could even produce numerous afterimages. It was an excellent technique for escaping.

All of this was thanks to the support of his fellow senior brothers.

Especially Wang Ming, the Senior Disciple Brother who had led him up Bitter Bamboo Peak.

During this time, Wang Ming had constantly sent him all kinds of cultivation resources to support his training.

There were countless bottles of Origin Blood Pills alone, not to mention pills such as Qi Replenishing Pills, which were specifically used to restore spiritual power.

"My spiritual power has completely turned black!"

Zhou Feng slowly exhaled and ended his early morning cultivation.

Over these days, as the Bloodthirsty Gu transformed into the Demon Devouring Gu,

the color of his spiritual power had also changed, shifting from red to black.

This meant that he had completely grasped the basics of the Demon Devouring Art.

An endless hunger constantly welled up within him, as though his stomach had become a black hole.

Every moment, he wanted to eat.

But because of the Level 2 Gluttony passive,

this endless hunger could not shake his mind in the slightest.

"Senior Disciple Brother seems to be barely holding himself back now! But he probably won't make a move against me anytime soon!"

Zhou Feng's face remained expressionless, but he had already begun calculating how to deal with his Senior Disciple Brother.

After all this time together,

he had come to understand many things.

First was the matter of cultivation realms. Qi Induction, Qi Gathering, and Qi Condensation were all stages of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Everything was merely preparation for forging a Spirit Platform.

The Spirit Platform Realm was the first realm on the path of cultivation that brought a true transformation to a cultivator.

Forging a Spirit Platform was also the crucial moment for condensing one's mind and forming a divine soul.

As long as one successfully forged a Spirit Platform, the rudiments of a divine soul would emerge. With the rudiments of a divine soul, one could control the power of heaven and earth.

All kinds of powerful Daoist arts could also be used.

One could even nurture magical treasures upon the Spirit Platform and control them.

If the Qi Induction Realm was the starting point of the cultivation path, then only upon reaching the Spirit Platform Realm could a cultivator be considered capable of fighting.

Battles below the Spirit Platform Realm were just children brawling.

Thus, the Qi Induction, Qi Gathering, and Qi Condensation Realms all had one simple goal.

That was to desperately absorb spiritual energy and transform it into spiritual power, because forging a Spirit Platform consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power.

If one ran out of spiritual power while forging a Spirit Platform, it meant failure.

At best, failure resulted in severe injuries. At worst, it led to sudden death.

That was why, after consuming such a large amount of resources, Zhou Feng's cultivation had risen so rapidly.

Because there really were no bottlenecks at this stage.

At the same time, this also meant there was not much difference in combat ability between the Qi Induction, Qi Gathering, and Qi Condensation Realms.

Their strength would not differ as vastly as heaven and earth.

And that gave Zhou Feng an opportunity—an opportunity to kill his Senior Disciple Brother in return.

During this time, Wang Ming had practically treated him like personal property, feeding him at fixed times every day as if he were raising a pig.

Perhaps once Zhou Feng broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm, his Senior Disciple Brother would make his move.

Therefore, Zhou Feng had already begun planning how to kill his Senior Disciple Brother in return.

His specific plan was actually to draw a large number of Passive Skills.

He would rely on Passive Skills to catch his opponent off guard and kill him in one stroke.

"The progress bar is finally full!"

Zhou Feng looked at the Skill Panel and discovered that the progress bar had finally filled up.

He could now draw another Passive Skill.

"Draw!"

At his command,

another Passive Skill appeared on the Skill Panel.

Full Charge Slash (Level 1): Your first attack consumes accumulated momentum. For every point of momentum consumed, damage increases by 1%.

You gain 20 points of momentum each day, up to a maximum of five days' worth.

Oh? This passive seemed pretty good!

Simply put, as long as he did not make a move, he could accumulate momentum.

Once that momentum was fully charged, the power of his first attack would directly double!

This seemed quite useful when paired with Bone Plating.

Bone Plating activated once every seven days and could directly negate the first damage he received.

As for Full Charge Slash, when its first strike was fully charged, its power doubled.

Didn't that mean that when he encountered an enemy, he could rush right in and trade his life for theirs?

With these two passives,

if Zhou Feng used such a life-for-life fighting style, he would at most suffer some injuries, while his enemy could very well die on the spot.

And if he was injured, he could slowly recover through his Self-Healing Physique.

Wasn't that a perfect match?

His Senior Disciple Brother probably would not expect him to suddenly erupt and ambush him with a life-for-life fighting style.

"If only I could get my hands on some highly toxic poison!"

Against cultivators below the Spirit Platform Realm, poison was an extremely useful method.

But where could he find highly toxic poison?

In Zhou Feng's original plan, he intended to obtain a deadly poison and make his Senior Disciple Brother suffer the poison with him.

Even if he died, he absolutely would not die on his knees.

Now, if he could drag his Senior Disciple Brother into being poisoned with him and ultimately trade their lives,

then with his passives, his chances of winning did not seem low at all!
