I Want to Burn the Sky

Only when the third step of the Palace Master was completed and all the Divine Void Bamboo was inserted into his body did Guu Feng slightly relax. That kind of pain that could be said to be able to destroy the heavens and earth finally weakened a little.    

But even so, Guu Feng's clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and he could easily squeeze out water from them. His veins were still exposed and covered his entire body, making him look ferocious and terrifying.    

"The result is still ideal. You have successfully changed your bones." The Palace Master exhaled a mouthful of foul air. Although his strength was as strong as his, he was still somewhat frightened.    

Thinking about how this brat in front of him had not uttered a single word of pain from the beginning until the end, the Palace Master was filled with admiration.    

"Next, you will rest and recuperate in this lightning pool. Try your best to perfectly fuse the Divine Void Bamboo with your body. After that, you can just leave by yourself. I still have some matters to attend to."    

Riches came from danger. First, one must be able to withstand that 'danger'. Currently, Guu Feng had already experienced that 'danger'. As for how much wealth he could obtain next, that would have to depend on himself.    

After the Palace Master left, everything in the lightning pool returned to normal. Occasionally, lightning would strike Guu Feng who was resting with his eyes closed, causing him to tremble.    

In the blink of an eye, the second day had arrived. The second round of the competition was going to be held in Spirit Heaven Palace. The number of people on the martial arts field was not reduced, but Guu Feng was still resting at the bottom of the lightning pool.    

Today was the second stage of the grand competition. Compared to the disciples of Spirit Heaven Palace who had gone to the first stage in a grand manner, it was much better. Most of them had already become spectators today, and had been eliminated in the first round. It was imaginable how difficult the first stage was.    

There were less than two thousand disciples from the Spirit Heaven Palace who had participated in the second round. The Palace Master was the first to step forward and say:    

"The first stage yesterday was a physical test. The second stage today is naturally a spiritual test. The rules were still the same. Regardless of the method, defeating the illusory Ferocious Beast would be considered as passing the stage. Defeating oneself would be considered as failing the stage."    

"The disciples who succeeded in the first test, step forward and draw lots to decide the challenge of the Ferocious Beast." The Palace Master took a step back, and the Palace Chief of the Desolate Palace took a step forward, waving the number sign in his hand that he had prepared a long time ago.    

There was a total of one thousand five hundred and forty-nine lots, which meant that there were one thousand five hundred and forty-nine disciples who had passed the first stage. This number seemed to be quite large, but compared to the tens of thousands of disciples in the Spirit Heaven Palace... It made him shiver.    

"Eh? It seems like Guu Feng, the one who got first place in the trial yesterday, didn't come." Finally, someone noticed that Guu Feng, who had been the most discussed in the past few days, didn't come to participate in the competition.    

"Could it be that he was injured yesterday and couldn't come back again? This is a little disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing him shine in the second round."    

Someone replied. They seemed to have selectively forgotten about the matter of calling Guu Feng a trash in the past. Instead, they had high hopes for him.    

Looking at the only number in his hand that had not been taken away, the leader of the Hall of Desolation felt somewhat troubled. Logically speaking, if one did not participate in the trial, it would be considered as automatically withdrawing. However, they all knew that Guu Feng, who did not participate in the trial this time, was the one who did not participate in the trial.    

However, the existence that was able to reach the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway in the first stage was Guu Feng, who the Palace Master had high hopes for. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to do.    

The leader of the Desolate Palace looked at the Palace Master and hesitated. The Palace Master understood what he meant. After nodding his head, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and said in a clear voice:    

"According to the rules of the generations, those who are not allowed to participate in the competition will be automatically forfeited. There is a disciple of the Vast Cloud Hall, Guu Feng, who has yet to draw a lot in this competition. If he doesn't come after fifteen minutes, it will be regarded as giving up automatically."    

As soon as the voice of the Vast Cloud Hall's hall master faded, more disciples noticed that Guu Feng did not participate in this competition. Immediately, many disciples started whispering to each other and started discussing in low voices.    

Indeed, in the recent days, the news of the fifth step Ferocious Beast and the Chilling Bird saving a group of disciples had been spread out, and the first stage of the competition had successfully reached the top of the Nine-by-nine Heaven Ascending Stairway. Guu Feng was in the limelight for a while.    

If it was the famous and powerful Xu Rufeng and the others in the palace, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, this person was Guu Feng, who had been called trash by countless people. How could they not be shocked?    

"Palace Master, is that kid really not coming?" The Palace Chief approached the Palace Master and asked in a low voice.    

"I've given him a chance, and he might still be recuperating in the lightning pool. If he can come, then come. If he can't, then there's no need to force him to come." The Palace Master's expression was calm, and no one could tell what was going on.    

The Desolate Palace Master was speechless. Not to mention the Awakening Stage Guu Feng, even someone as strong as him wouldn't be able to come to the lightning pool to heal his injuries, right?    

This kid's physique had reached all kinds of realms. Could it be that he could ignore the rolling lightning in the lightning pool? He actually went to the lightning pool to heal his injuries while he was injured.    

When the hall masters heard the Palace Master's words, they were also filled with mixed emotions. Someone as powerful as them... Even though the lightning pool could no longer harm them, but to borrow the lightning pool to treat their injuries... This wasn't something they could do, it had nothing to do with their strength. What they needed was an extremely powerful physical body.    

In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes had passed. Just as the leader of the Desolate Palace was about to announce that Guu Feng had given up on the second stage of the competition, a person rushed to the edge of the training ground.    

This person was naturally Guu Feng, who had just come out of the lightning pool.    

"Leader, Guu Feng is here!" The first disciple who saw Guu Feng shouted, attracting the attention of many disciples.    

In an instant, many disciples shouted at the same time, "Palace Master, Guu Feng is here."    

What was even more unbelievable was that no one knew who took the lead and made way for Guu Feng. After that, countless disciples retreated to the two sides at the same time, giving way to a path that led directly to the Desolate Hall's Palace Chief. Such an honor was akin to the presence of a hall master!    

Along the way, Guu Feng looked at the countless gazes of admiration, admiration, and adoration beside him. He was actually somewhat perturbed. Facing the crowd, he could only grin foolishly and was unable to speak.    

"Greetings Palace Master and palace masters. The disciple of Vast Cloud Hall, Guu Feng, has arrived late. I hope you can forgive me." Guu Feng bowed and said.    

If it was any other ordinary disciple, he would naturally not have a good expression on his face. However, Guu Feng could be said to be one of the most famous disciples in Spirit Heaven Palace. The Palace Master only smiled gently and said that he was not late.    

"This is quite a grand occasion." Looking at the group of disciples behind Guu Feng, the Palace Master scolded with a smile.    

Guu Feng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.    

Because Guu Feng came a little late, he did not delay. After asking about the rules and methods of the competition, he took the number sign and entered the arena.    

The illusory Ferocious Beast was refined using a special method in Spirit Heaven Palace. It wasn't a real Ferocious Beast. In a specific region, there were already many disciples fighting for themselves against the Ferocious Beast.    

In a circle of light that was formed by spiritual energy as a barrier, a huge illusory Ferocious Beast that looked like a diamond but had eight arms stood in front of Guu Feng.    

Guu Feng's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that it was the Eight-armed Divine Ape.    

When it saw Guu Feng, the eyes of the frenzied Eight-armed Divine Ape's Ferocious Beast turned red. It raised its head to the sky and let out a furious roar before charging over.    

"What do you all think Guu Feng will get this time?" Seeing Guu Feng enter the arena, many disciples of Spirit Heaven Palace began discussing with their companions.    

"According to his performance in the first round, I think it shouldn't be difficult for him to get into the top five." A disciple replied.
