Chapter 1742: Chapter 1742: keep the benefits to yourself
“Thank you for your help, senior uncle!”The great elder bowed and stepped back to avoid being hurt by the aftershocks.
“Young people nowadays are really reckless!”The Brawny man sighed and took a step forward. Then, he activated the spiritual energy in his body and began to pressure Jiang Fei!
The Brawny man was much stronger than Jiang Fei. As soon as he made his move, the dense spiritual energy around Jiang Fei began to disperse. A large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by the Brawny Man. Jiang Fei’s cultivation speed immediately decreased drastically.
“Phew…”as the rate of absorption of spiritual energy slowed down, Jiang Fei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was still prepared to face the tribulation. Therefore, he was really afraid that he would attract the Thunder Tribulation on the spot.
However, although the rate of absorption of spiritual energy had slowed down, Jiang Fei’s strength was still slowly being absorbed. Therefore, the surrounding onlookers were still staring at him, that was because the pressure of the heavenly tribulation seemed to be slowly taking shape!
“What kind of talent does this kid have? He can actually compete with me for spiritual energy?”At that moment, the Brawny man was also very surprised. After all, his strength was relatively outstanding even among true immortals. If it was any other powerhouse in the tribulation stage.., under his s.n.a.t.c.hing, he could not absorb any spiritual energy at all. However, the kid in the room was still crazily absorbing spiritual energy. Although his speed had slowed down a lot, he still did not stop!
“It seems that I have to do something!”The Brawny Man took a deep breath and suddenly pressed his hands down.
“Buzz!”A weak wave radiated from the Brawny Man. This weak wave did not harm anyone at all. Whether it was Jiang Fei or the onlookers, they were not affected at all.
However, wherever the wave pa.s.sed by, the spiritual energy was instantly dispersed. In the blink of an eye, the dense spiritual energy that was almost forming droplets around Jiang Fei was instantly dispersed!
Without the spiritual energy around him, Jiang Fei naturally could not continue to absorb it. Once he could not absorb the spiritual energy, Jiang Fei’s training was immediately stopped. One had to know that being forcefully stopped during training was a huge burden on the body. Even after being strengthened by the scorpion milk, Jiang Fei’s body was not weaker than that of a giant beast!
…
“HMM!”With a m.u.f.fled groan, Jiang Fei’s face flushed red. At the same time, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
“Good boy! This body is really st.u.r.dy!”The brawny man outside was constantly paying attention to Jiang Fei’s condition. Therefore, when he saw that Jiang Fei’s face was only flushed red, he was greatly shocked.
If a normal person were to be interrupted in their training, they would at least vomit blood and be injured. At worst, their cultivation would fall as well. How could it be as simple as a red face, therefore, Jiang Fei’s strong physical strength had left a very deep impression on the Brawny Man.
“Phew!”When Jiang Fei came back to his senses, he let out a long breath. He had dodged a disaster. If he were to really cross the tribulation at this time, Jiang Fei was almost certain that he would fail. At the very least, he would be severely injured, he might even be bedridden for a few months.
At this moment, the thing that Jiang Fei could not afford to delay the most was time. If he were to really be bedridden for a few months, the Saintess’corpse would probably be cold by then, and he would have failed the quest.
If it was a normal quest, failing it would at most give the “Players”some advantage. However, this time was different. Previously, Vinylon had repeatedly warned Jiang Fei that he must destroy the “Players”quest, he could not let them get the quest reward. He could not let them think that there was a major “Game BUG”involved. Once the BUG was triggered, the entire universe might collapse.
Although this BUG was not guaranteed to be triggered and the universe might not collapse after it was triggered, Jiang Fei could not afford to gamble. Therefore, he had to give it his all. He could not give the “Players”the slightest chance.
“Kid, have you recovered?”At this time, the Brawny man asked from outside.
“Yes! Thank you for your help, Sir!”Jiang Fei sorted out his thoughts and quickly came out to thank the Brawny Man.
“Master Yuan, this is my uncle-master. He is also one of the true immortals of our valiant martial hall, the mountain-splitting palm GE Chunhong!”The great elder quickly ran over to introduce him to Jiang Fei.
“So, it’s senior GE!”Jiang Fei immediately went forward and bowed. Regardless of whether it was out of grat.i.tude or respect for the strong, Jiang Fei felt that he should bow.
“Kid, not bad. To have such cultivation at such a young age, and to have such a strong physical body, it’s simply unbelievable!”GE Chunhong praised.
“Senior, you are overpraising me…”Jiang Fei said very humbly.
“Uncle-master, this Yuan Shao is not an ordinary person. He has inherited the power of the green-eyed White Dragon!”At this time, the great elder softly told Ge Chunhong about Jiang Fei’s background. It was actually what Jiang Fei had told him previously.
“You Brat, you actually have such divine luck! You are truly blessed by the Heavens!”After GE Chunhong heard the Great Elder’s description, he looked at Jiang Fei with a strange gaze.
“Uncle-master, look at young master Yuan joining our martial meritocracy hall. The true immortals are all in closed-door cultivation, and we don’t dare to take him in as a disciple. It just so happens that you have come out of closed-door cultivation today. Why don’t…”the Great Elder’s eyes moved, he intended to make Ge Chunhong take Jiang Fei in as a disciple.
Actually, Ge Chunhong had his own selfish motives here. Once this sect was big, it was easy to form internal factions. The Martial Meritocracy Hall was no exception. Although the great elder had a high status, he was also very aware of the danger, he knew that once a genius like Jiang Fei became a disciple of a true immortal, the corresponding sect would naturally rise up. When that happened, it would definitely affect the status of their sect.
Therefore, he took advantage of the moment when the other true immortals were in closed-door cultivation to urge GE Chunhong to accept Jiang Fei. This was equivalent to keeping the benefits to themselves. By the time the true immortals came out of closed-door cultivation, the rice had already been cooked, the true immortals could no longer compete with GE Chunhong.
“But this is not good…”GE Chunhong was a little hesitant. He did cherish Jiang Fei’s talent. If Jiang Fei was also of the Earth attribute, he would have taken the initiative to ask Jiang Fei to accept him, however, Jiang Fei was now of the wood attribute. If he insisted on accepting Jiang Fei, it would be a little misleading.
“What’s wrong with that? When the time comes, wouldn’t you just ask Immortal Qin Lu for a wood attribute cultivation technique?”The Great Elder was still unwilling to give up.
“UH… Senior GE, to be honest with you, I actually have two talents…”at this moment, Jiang Fei suddenly said. He was actually quite willing to take GE Chunhong as his master. This guy was practicing an earth attribute cultivation technique, this was exactly what Jiang Fei needed.
“Two talents? Let Me See!”GE Chunhong’s eyes lit up after listening to Jiang Fei. It was known that two talents were extremely rare among cultivators. Moreover, even if one had two talents, not all of them were very outstanding.
“Okay!”Jiang Fei nodded. Then, he deliberately divided a small amount of origin energy and converted it into an earth-type!
