Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 389 - 106: An Unexpected Harvest—Qin Family, Here I Come

Chapter 389: Chapter 106: An Unexpected Harvest—Qin Family, Here I Come

"Alright."

Ling Feng nodded. With the King of North of the River and the other two acting as guardians, he could boldly enjoy the Demon God Blood without worry, knowing that in case something went wrong, they would look after him.

The three of them quickly went outside, closing the door behind them. Suddenly, the King of North of the River opened it again, poking his head in to advise, "The Demon God Blood, each drop contains infinite energy. When you consume it, your blood vessels will feel like they’re on fire, and your entire flesh like it’s being roasted. Remember, no matter what, you must endure it. Never pass out, because if you do, you’ll miss the opportunity to find the response of the Divine Phase from the pain, understood?"

"Ah, will it be very painful?"

Ling Feng’s mouth gaped wide open. He hadn’t considered this!

"The more painful, the more power your blood absorbs, and the greater your physical evolution. It’s a sign that’s longed for, so the more painful, the better. Got it?"

The King of North of the River, worried that Ling Feng might give up when facing pain, emphasized his words with a serious expression, hoping Ling Feng wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

"Understood?"

Ling Feng nodded.

"Bang!"

The King of North of the River quickly shut the door.

Looking at the bottle of Demon God Blood in his hand, Ling Feng suddenly didn’t find it appealing anymore.

His blood vessels felt like they were burning.

His whole flesh felt like it was being roasted over a fire. Who could withstand such pain?

Perhaps somewhere in the world, there were people who could bear this, but Ling Feng was not one of them.

Suddenly, Ling Feng found the bottle of Demon God Blood burning his hand and quickly tossed it onto the bed, stepping back.

"Ling Feng, hurry up."

The King of North of the River couldn’t hear any activity and urged him.

"Well... with you all waiting outside, it gives me pressure. Just go back, let me slowly feel the power of the Demon God Blood by myself. I’ll account for myself."

Ling Feng coughed softly and said.

"Well... alright, if there’s a problem, be sure to contact us."

The King of North of the River pondered for a moment before nodding.

He believed Ling Feng’s current achievements were inseparable from his own efforts and the value of the Demon God Blood was beyond doubt; Ling Feng would indeed not refuse it.

To allow Ling Feng to absorb more of the Demon God Blood’s power, the King of North of the River eventually left the lodge with Ao Dagang, Huo Jiating, and Ming Cheng.

He worried that once the pain hit, Ling Feng might hold back, for howling in pain is not a glorious act.

"Grr!"

Half an hour later, a snoring sound emerged from Ling Feng’s room.

If Demon God Blood was like Spiritual Replenishing Liquid or Consciousness Replenishing Liquid, sweet and delightful without any pain, he would certainly gulp it down in one bottle.

But to endure torment?

And such unbearable pain? Ling Feng could not endure it.

Bear in mind, previously at Ninth High School, when Huang Ling used Mental Telekinesis to baptize him for the first time, he could willingly let his guard down and fall unconscious due to the pain.

Now, with this bottle of Demon God Blood that could make him experience unbearable pain, Ling Feng would not be interested even if it meant his physical fitness could reach 1000.0.

Even if it meant he could defeat Qin Qianyu and win first place, Ling Feng wouldn’t look twice at it.

Under the influence of the Coasting Along Fate, Ling Feng no longer had much of a competitive desire. Winning was well and good; if not, so be it. He felt neither frustration nor distress. Even if he were to be instantly eliminated in the next round, having already achieved a miracle by reaching the sixth round, he would have no psychological burden.

Since the Qin Family hopes he can surprise Qin Qianyu, he might as well take this opportunity to teach them a lesson, not to assume he deeply craved a duel with Qin Qianyu.

Knowing he couldn’t win and still going for abuse? Isn’t that madness?

Even if it could enhance his strength, Ling Feng wasn’t interested.

He had a truly restful sleep. A feeling of clarity and pressure lifting off his body overwhelmed him, suddenly realizing he had another choice: to refuse the Demon God Blood, to refuse to be a stepping stone for Qin Qianyu.

Why should he laboriously cultivate, only to be torn apart by Qin Qianyu’s Seven Element Spear Intent and Seven Elements Domain in the last round?

Then comfort himself that it was an honor to duel Qin Qianyu, even if he couldn’t block a single strike, he should be proud.

Pah!

Isn’t that nonsensical?

Let whoever desires it do it!

"Zhao Kuo and the others are not at the lodge tonight. They are said to have been encouraged to not disturb Ling Feng’s absorption of the Demon God Blood’s power."

Pu Yuchao received the report swiftly.

"No one can resist the Qin Family’s allure."

Pu Yuchao nodded, quickly reporting the news to relevant individuals within the Qin Family.

The next morning.

The King of North of the River and his companions had kept watch outside all night, only returning to the lodge at dawn. Seeing no movement from Ling Feng’s room, they assumed that he had absorbed most of the Demon God Blood’s power and was likely exhausted, recovering.

Out of habit, they lowered their voices, not wishing to disturb Ling Feng, intent on waking him when the competition time approached.

Half an hour later, Ling Feng woke up, stretching luxuriously.

He had had a pleasant sleep, and having sorted things out in his mind, both his body and spirit were relaxed. It was as if Qin Qianyu didn’t exist, the pressure entirely vanished, prompting him to crow like a rooster in the room!

The King of North of the River and his companions downstairs were startled.

"Goodness, the Qin Family’s Demon God Blood, it can’t be Chicken King’s blood!"

Ao Dagang remarked nervously.

"Don’t overthink it, he’ll come down in a bit. Prepare some tonics to ease the blood vessel pressure for him."

The King of North of the River instructed.

"Alright."

Ao Dagang still found the situation odd.

After the rooster call, Ling Feng yawned several times before slowly opening his eyes, immediately drawn to a line of text, rubbing his eyes as he looked at the Demon God Blood he’d thrown on the bed.

He saw the content of the text displayed before him:

[You refused to consume the Demon God Blood, remained true to your coasting philosophy, and earned 26,321 Coast Along points.]

"What the... How is this possible? More than twenty thousand Coast Along points, more than rejecting Mr. Zhao’s offer. What’s the deal with this Demon God Blood, refusing to consume it actually earns Coast Along points?"

Ling Feng found this incredible.

He couldn’t help but scrutinize the Demon God Blood. It dawned on him that it might not be as simple as the King of North of the River had claimed.

He believed that with the Qin Family’s pride and resources, they wouldn’t tamper with the blood.

This was his first experience gaining Coast Along points from refusing to consume something, and such an unexpected gain, over twenty-six thousand points, far exceeded his expectations.

It was astonishing.

"Perhaps this Demon God Blood is more extraordinary than Mr. Zhao stated. The Qin Family’s considerable favor, could it really merely be to see if Qin Qianyu could destroy my spear intent and domain with a single sword?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ling Feng suspected the Qin Family’s motives weren’t so simple.

Perhaps this Demon God Blood concealed power unknown to him, and that was the reason rejecting it awarded so many Coast Along points.

As for what power might be hidden in the Demon God Blood, Ling Feng couldn’t yet comprehend.

But the verification through the Coast Along points assured Ling Feng that either the blood itself had issues or the Qin Family had ulterior motives.

Or perhaps it could indeed make him suffer intolerably.

Or, consuming it might cause him to lose the opportunity to coast along.

"Regardless of what the Qin Family intends, with over twenty thousand Coast Along points, I don’t need the Demon God Blood to increase my strength and advance to the final round. It’s no longer an issue for me."

Ling Feng muttered to himself.

Thinking this, he swiftly checked the information panel, deciding to wisely use this oddly-acquired Coast Along value to surprise the Qin Family and everyone else.

(Happy National Day! Thank you all for your support!)
