After watching Leng Maner leave, Zhou Feng finally had the time to see what kind of Gu she had given him.
[Death Substitution Gu: It can take a fatal injury on behalf of the host.]
"This…"
Zhou Feng's eyes widened slightly when he saw the Death Substitution Gu.
'There's such a Gu? In terms of function alone, it is invaluable!
'Since it can withstand a fatal injury in a critical moment, isn't this equivalent to a life-saving amulet!?
'It's probably challenging to nurture this kind of Gu.'
Zhou Feng did not expect Leng Maner to give him such a precious gift.
This was kind of awkward, however.
Zhou Feng's body was unable to host a Gu due to the dominance of the Human Emperor Scripture.
Thus, this Death Substitution Gu did not seem to be of much use to him.
Nonetheless, it should be considered a rare item, and it would come in handy in the future.
Zhou Feng carefully stored the Death Substitution Gu.
'Then what should I do now?'
Now that Leng Maner was gone, he no longer had a helper. How should he deal with those Demons next?
'Oh right! I seem to have another chance to draw a passive skill!'
A'Rixi's death had given him this opportunity.
No matter what, there was nothing wrong with increasing one's strength.
"Draw!"
Zhou Feng drew a new passive skill on the spot.
"Drawing…"
"Drawing successful!"
Zhou Feng was actually able to obtain another new passive skill after less than a day.
To be honest, it was still faster to increase one's strength after coming out to train.
During his stay in Heavenly Star City, the speed at which his strength increased had been too slow.
Second Heart: You will gain a second heart! The upper limit of your Blood Qi reserves will be doubled!
Your Strength, Endurance, and Speed will be increased by 15%.
"F*ck! Did I just get lucky!?"
When he saw this passive skill, Zhou Feng's heart started to beat rapidly.
Too strong! It was probably because the previous passive skills were a little weak.
This new passive skill was too strong!
Zhou Feng's face had just revealed an excited expression when waves of intense pain began to spread from his heart.
A drum-like beating sound echoed out of Zhou Feng's chest as a new heart began to form.
The original heart was located on the left side of his body, while this new heart was located to the right.
The new heart was rapidly formed under the interference of a powerful external force.
It also participated in the circulation of the blood.
Hunger and thirst!
Zhou Feng's physical body began to send out the signal of hunger and thirst.
Originally, he felt that his Blood Qi reserves were like an endless ocean.
But now, he actually felt that his Blood Qi reserves were empty.
This was probably because the upper limit had been doubled.
"I'm so hungry!"
Zhou Feng couldn't hold it in any longer and began to crazily pour food and pills out of his storage ring into his mouth. He didn't even need to chew these things but instead swallowed them well for his Level-2 Gluttony to digest them all.
He converted them into pure Blood Qi and all sorts of nutrients to feed Zhou Feng's body.
Apart from the increase in Blood Qi, this sudden addition of a heart also affected every aspect of his body.
His speed and endurance were affected greatly, but the most terrifying increase was that of his body strength.
Zhou Feng's physical body was already otherworldly, and he even seemed to have reached a bottleneck during this period.
But now, it rose steadily under the impact of the violent Blood Qi.
"The Human Emperor Blood is also condensing further!?"
What surprised Zhou Feng the most was probably that the Human Emperor Blood had begun to condense in his body.
The Endless Blood Qi was crazily transformed, condensing a drop of new Human Emperor Blood in the other heart.
The golden Human Emperor Blood continued to purify the Blood Qi in his body, increasing the concentration of his new drop of Human Emperor Blood.
This kind of breakthrough was an all-around improvement, and it did not require much effort.
Passive skills were simple, crude, and logic-defying.
Compared to slowly increasing one's realm and then relying on the realm to increase their strength, gaining passive skills was better. No matter how many passive skills Zhou Feng had, they did not affect the advancement of his realm.
Zhou Feng's decision back then was correct.
At that moment, just the rhythm of the Blood Qi raised the temperature in the surroundings to an alarming degree.
Zhou Feng was like a huge furnace that was burning fiercely, sweeping away the demonic aura in the surroundings.
'But the consumption has also increased by a lot!'
Zhou Feng keenly noticed a drawback—the amount of energy needed to sustain his body had increased considerably.
This shouldn't be considered a drawback but a natural need of his extra heart.
Zhou Feng became more prone to hunger, and his demand for Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi had skyrocketed.
As a vagabond cultivator, he didn't have a steady supply of resources. Thus, this increase in consumption was a big problem for him.
Nonetheless, he was not too worried. Since he was strong enough, it was easy to obtain resources.
Zhou Feng had tasted the sweetness, so he became even more eager to hunt down Demons.
"One Demon is equal to one lucky draw! If I could draw a few more passive skills like this, hehe!"
Zhou Feng did not dare to imagine how much his strength would increase if he had a few more passive skills like this.
After contemplating for a moment, he did not leave. He chose to stay and wait for the Demons' arrival.
As time passed, the formation that Leng Maner had set up in the surroundings slowly dissipated.
The Demons would definitely notice that something was amiss, and they might come together to investigate.
Zhou Feng was an unconventional person that didn't follow regular tropes. Those Demons probably would not expect he would stay where he was after killing A'Rixi and wait for them to come knocking on his door!
After all, staying here was a dangerous choice. As long as one did not have a screw loose, they would not choose to do so.
Once he stayed there, he would be in danger of being surrounded.
'Luckily, I still have the Shadow Concealment Gu. It should not be a problem to conceal my aura.'
Zhou Feng still had the Shadow Concealment Gu Leng Maner had given him earlier, and it could conceal his aura to the greatest extent.
This way, he only needed to wait for the Demons to come to him.
He could take them by surprise and launch a sneak attack when the time came!
In any case, killing one would not be a loss. Killing two would be a huge gain, while three would be a bountiful harvest!
Zhou Feng hid in A'Rixi's treasury, waiting for the Demons' arrival.
In reality, he did not need to wait for the formation around him to disappear.
The moment A'Rixi died, all the nearby Demons sensed it.
"He's dead!?"
"A'Rixi?"
"Was it the Human Emperor's successor!?"
