Chapter 997: Consecutive Victory

Qingfeng shot a glance at Zhiruo without saying a word. Talking to losers was a complete waste of time to him.

Zhiruo began to feel humiliated once she saw how Qingfeng didn't even spare a moment to talk to her. Yet, she couldn't do anything since she had lost the battle.

"Qingfeng won," the Hundred-Flower Palace's Sect Master announced the result.

She was pretty upset about this result; she was mortified that her genius disciple was actually defeated by a dumb man. After all, these genius disciples were all trained by her.

"He won again? How did that happen?"

"Damn, our seniors sisters should work harder."

"I know right? I hope that a senior sister can teach this arrogant dude a lesson by knocking him out."

The crowd was shocked that Qingfeng had actually won without appearing to do anything and was mad that he was such a jerk to women.

Although Zhiruo had lost the match, her protector, the Second Elder, who was standing behind her, couldn't accept this result. She stood up to try and challenge Qingfeng.

She was a fifty-year-old woman that still looked pretty even though she had crow's feet. She was definitely a gorgeous-looking lady back in her younger days.

Fighting to be the Saintess wasn't merely for reputation, it also gave the victor access to authority and resources.

In the Hundred-Flower Palace, the authority owned by the Saintess was right below the Palace Master. Greater authority meant first dibs to many greater benefits and resources such as money, elixirs, martial art techniques, and spiritual devices.

The Second Elder just needed a spiritual medicine before reaching her next breakthrough. However, the medicine was so precious that it was only accessible to either the Palace Lord or the Saintess, which was the reason why she had to get Zhiruo to win.

"Qingfeng Li, I challenge you to a match," Second Elder walked out and said while frowning.

Qingfeng frowned as well, slightly frustrated. He had just beaten Hongling and had been challenged by her guardian - the Third Elder. Now, after he beat Zhiruo, he was again challenged by another guardian. Was this thing ever going to end one day?

After seeing Qingfeng standing there without saying anything, the Second Elder sneered, "Why, do you not have the guts to fight with me because you are afraid?"

Qingfeng smiled faintly and replied, "Well, if this is what you want, come on up."

The Second Elder jumped up to the arena immediately like a flash and took out a little red drum. The drum was as small as a palm and was made of a Demonic Red Rhino's skin.

The Red Rhino was a formidable demonic beast which could attack one's spiritual energy.

The red drum was made of the Red Rhino's skin, which could catalyze spiritual attacks by itself. With the power of the Second Elder, the attack power must be multiplied.

The Second Elder smacked at the red drum and produced multiple invisible soundwaves that diffused outwards. It was like oxygen - something you could not see but was indeed there.

Boom!

Qingfeng felt extreme pain in his brain since his mind had been assaulted by the Second Elder with her spiritual attack.

At this moment, the Fire Dragon in Qingfeng's mind appeared again and devoured the spiritual attacks released by the Second Elder. Her spiritual attacks were as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the Fire Dragon's aura.

After the Fire Dragon swallowed the spiritual energy, he left some for Qingfeng, like last time.

Qingfeng's mind released a green light and swallowed the rest of the spiritual energy. Now, his spiritual energy had grown in size and acquired a deeper shade of color.

"Qingfeng Li, I have a more potent spiritual attack than Zhiruo. You are definitely injured now, so just give in," the Second Elder said to Qingfeng.

Qingfeng glanced at her with disdain, "Dumbass."

Dumbass?

Second Elder first paused for a second when she heard Qingfeng's retort. She then became extremely mad after a couple of seconds. She glared at Qingfeng as if she was a volcano that could explode any moment.

She was furious since she was always respected and fawned over by her disciples in the Hundred-Flower Palace as one of the most prestigious seniors. Nobody had ever humiliated her, expect for Qingfeng.

Besides the Second Elder, the other disciples were shocked since they didn't expect their honorable Second Elder would actually be insulted by Qingfeng. This dude was unbelievably bold.

"Qingfeng Li, how dare you slander me. I'm going to kill you with my spiritual energy," the Second Elder yelled while looking mad.

"Come on, dumbass. Hit me with your spiritual energy," Qingfeng said while laughing.

Was Qingfeng insane? Of course, not! He did that on purpose so that he could irritate the Second Elder into attacking him with her spiritual energy.

Qingfeng found out another secret - he could devour the other's spiritual energy and gain greater power.

Indeed, the Second Elder became more furious after Qingfeng humiliated her again.

Bang Bang Bang...

The Second Elder continue hitting the red drum madly, sending multiple shockwaves towards Qingfeng.

Multiple soundwaves rushed into Qingfeng's brain, wanting to tear apart his mind and turn him insane.

Spiritual energy was the most crucial energy in a human's brain. One could turn insane once their soul is damaged and their control of their spiritual energy is crippled. The Second Elder must be holding extreme hatred towards Qingfeng to attack him in such an aggressive way.

Unfortunately, the Second Elder did not know that the more aggressively she attacked, the happier Qingfeng would be, since he was absorbing all of her spiritual attacks.

After the Fire Dragon devoured a part of the spiritual attacks, he kept a significant remaining amount for Qingfeng.

Qingfeng had now improved his spiritual energy from the middle stage of the first tier to the advanced stage after devouring such a high amount of energy.

With the advancement of his spiritual energy, his attack power also doubled, so now he could release two spiral waves instead of only one.

"Just keep going with your spiritual energy, dumbass," Qingfeng yelled at the Second Elder.

Qingfeng did it on purpose since he knew the more he irritated the Second Elder, the more aggressively the Second Elder would attack him, which would ultimately allow him to absorb more spiritual energy.

The Second Elder continued hitting the drum crazily and released dozens of spiritual attacks towards Qingfeng's brain. She was desperately trying to tear apart his soul.

Yet, Qingfeng wasn't threatened by these attacks at all since he absorbed all of them and turned them into his own power. However, he later realized an issue—his spiritual energy suddenly stopped increasing after a certain amount of intake.
