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.
“Hemanaged to make two successive breakthroughs. His actual cultivationright now is that of a rank three Exalted,” replied the Blood-devouringDemon Exalted.
“Hea-actually managed to make t-tw-two successive breakthroughs? T-thisd-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.gQiang was speaking with great displeasure, he had an extremely overjoyedlook on his face. It was clear that he was rejoicing for Chu Feng’sbreakthroughs in cultivation.
“Hehe, my-my br-br-br-brother is truly amazing.”
“ThatZhang Ya-yanfeng r-relied on the martial co-comprehension he gained ont-the Void Seat, in a-a-addition to the martial comprehension he gainedfrom the lake, to ma-ma-make two successive breakthroughs. However, myb-brother only re-relied on the power of the lake t-to make twosuccessive 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.”
“Hewasn’t deliberately concealing his cultivation. It is likely caused bythe 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-youmean t-to say t-that my br-bro-bro-brother a-act-act-act-actuallymanaged to obtain t-the Sacred Tree Seed?” w.a.n.g Qiang became even moreexcited.
“Hemust’ve obtained it. Only the Sacred Tree Seed would cause hisbloodline power to change. The Sacred Tree Seed is not that easilyrefined. It will fight back. That is the reason why Chu Feng’scultivation has weakened.”
“Thatsaid, his cultivation didn’t really decrease. Once his bloodline powerhas refined the Sacred Tree Seed, Chu Feng will be able to recover hiscultivation,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted explained.
“He’son-on-only going to r-re-re-recover his cultivation? W-what about thebenefits 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. Basedon the way he looked, w.a.n.g Qiang knew that Chu Feng would definitely beable to gain benefits from the Sacred Tree Seed once it was refined byhis bloodline power.
“Lord Demon Exalted, I can’t hold on anymore! Please save me!”
Anear-piercing scream was heard. Zhang s.h.i.+rui cried out for help. She wasstill struggling, but she had expressed that she was unable to last anylonger.
“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.
Eventhough Chu Feng was also in great pain, not only was he able tocontinue to resist the pain, but he was also able to observe the others.Chu Feng discovered that even though the three Zhang siblings were allin great pain, Zhang Yanfeng’s situation was gradually improving.
Asfor Zhang Boyi, he was still able to withstand the pain. If hecontinued like that, he would definitely be able to pa.s.s the trial too.
OnlyZhang s.h.i.+rui was unable to withstand the pain. If this situation wereto 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.”
“Youngfriend Chu Feng, the four of you are the ones that have a.s.similatedwith that power. You can only rely on yourselves. Even for help, it canonly be the four of you helping each other.”
“However,you four should know better than anyone how strong that power is. Beingalready taxed to look after yourself, how could you possibly a.s.sistanother?”
“Thus, the four of you truly can only rely on yourselves right now,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted said.
Rightafter his words were said, Chu Feng began to swim in the waterhaltingly. He arrived beside Zhang s.h.i.+rui and placed his hands on hertemples.
Then, his spirit power began to pour into her mind.
Chu Feng was actually helping Zhang s.h.i.+rui.
“Youngfriend Chu Feng, what you’re doing is very dangerous. You will bringharm upon yourself,” the Blood-devouring Demon Exalted urged against itupon seeing it.
“Senior,you’ve said that only the four of us can fuse with this power. We fourare one. If we do not help each other when we can, we will instead lose ahelping 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.
TheBlood-devouring Demon Exalted only said one sentence in response tow.a.n.g Qiang’s praises, “This brother of yours will be able to achievegreatness.”
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.
Shehad truly felt like she was on the verge of dying earlier. She wascertain that if the situation had continued on its course, she wouldhave died.
Neverhad she expected to be saved. More than that, she did not expect thatthe person who had saved her was not the Blood-devouring Demon Exaltedor her two older brothers. Instead, it was Chu Feng.
However, she had been ridiculing Chu Feng earlier.
Zhangs.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.
Thatwas the reason why she felt so complicated. Guilt and self-blame filledher heart. She felt that she was truly unworthy of Chu Feng’s help. Shefelt 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.
Eventhough she had a very nasty mouth and a rather unruly personality, ChuFeng was able to tell that the girl’s nature was not bad. His impressionof her was pretty good too. Otherwise, he would not have acted to saveher.
AfterChu 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 openedher mouth, she started to cry.
Hercrying appearance was very ugly. She felt truly sad and, more thananything, ashamed of herself. She wanted to say something to Chu Feng.Yet, she was unable to say anything.
Itwasn’t that she didn’t want to say what she wanted to say. Instead, shedidn’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.
Evenwithout Chu Feng’s explanation, Zhang Yanfeng and Zhang Boyi knew whathad happened earlier. Thus, the two of them were also filled withgrat.i.tude toward Chu Feng.
“Brother Chu Feng, thanks a lot.”
“Weboth witnessed what you did earlier. We truly thank you. If it wasn’tfor you, our little sister would definitely not have been able tosurvive.”
“Thank you, truly, thank you.”
Zhang Yanfeng bowed deeply and respectfully at Chu Feng.
“BrotherChu Feng, I hope that you will forgive me for my offenses earlier,”Zhang Boyi was even more emotional. He actually directly knelt beforeChu Feng.
