Chapter 412: Chapter 218: Power Up, Take My Arrow_3

But at the current pace, he didn’t seem to need to rush to upgrade his skills. If he could endure another three or four years, maybe the Fortune Points he accumulated would be enough to upgrade the Yangchun Technique again, thus strengthening himself.

So Jiang Feng wasn’t in a hurry to spend the 460,000 Fortune Points on his skills.

He treated the days hiding in the Divine Sect Mansion as a kind of training, as if in a state of seclusion, shutting out the world and focusing only on earning Fortune Points.

Soon, another four months passed.

Jiang Feng had already stayed in the Divine Sect Mansion for over two years. He had forgotten the taste of food, and even the aura of everyone he knew.

If it weren’t for Liu Chen outside losing his composure every now and then—shouting into the mansion, or using his purple sword to strike at the Restriction Array, wanting to come in and fight Jiang Feng to the death—Jiang Feng would have forgotten what people’s voices sounded like, too.

He checked his Fortune Points.

Fortune: 800217

Jiang Feng’s expression grew much more serious.

Starting from last month, the rate at which his Fortune Points increased had slowed, dropping from over three thousand per day to just over two thousand per day, and it was still falling.

He thought about it and figured there were two possible reasons for this situation.

One was that danger was slowly encroaching on him. When the Fortune Points stopped increasing, the danger would fully descend on him, and even the Restriction Array of the Divine Sect Mansion wouldn’t be able to stop it.

The other was that his current strength was already enough to deal with the dangers outside the mansion. As his cultivation improved, those outside were no longer much of a threat to him.

Jiang Feng felt the second possibility was almost zero.

The Second Prince was the Divine Sect Saint Heir; after killing him, the Divine Sect would never let Jiang Feng go easily. Even if Liu Chen was no longer a threat, there was still the Saintess—her power was something Jiang Feng couldn’t handle yet.

He didn’t think Liu Chen was the only one left outside the mansion.

Otherwise, the Fortune Points would have stopped increasing long ago, because with his current strength, Liu Chen alone couldn’t do anything to him.

So the only possible reason for the decrease in Fortune Points was the first possibility.

Thinking of this made Jiang Feng’s heart sink, and he hesitated—should he rush out now and rely on the Dragon Bone Bow to break through the encirclement?

In the end, considering that his Fortune Points could still increase by over two thousand a day, Jiang Feng decided to wait a bit longer—until the Fortune Points almost stopped rising before making his move.

In the days that followed, Jiang Feng checked his Fortune Points every day.

In a blink, another month passed.

Fortune: 857782

"The rate has dropped to less than a thousand."

"Looks like it’s time to go out."

Jiang Feng realized that in the past few days, the rate at which Fortune Points increased had nosedived, dropping from dozens of points per day all the way to a reduction of over a hundred.

The difference between the beginning and end of the month was over a thousand per day.

Now, it had dropped to about eight hundred a day.

Four days later.

Jiang Feng checked the panel information.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 860011

Cultivation Technique: Yangchun Technique (Perfection)

Skills: Flame Saber (Proficient+) Wind Control (Proficient+)

Realm: Qi Condensation (Sixth Layer)

Divine Power: Immortality

"I can’t hide any longer. Yesterday, the Fortune Points gained dropped to under five hundred. If I wait until they completely stop, I might not be able to leave at all."

"Upgrade skills immediately and get out of here!"

Jiang Feng realized the severity of the problem.

He remembered using 230,000 Fortune Points to upgrade Flame Saber, and 200,000 for Wind Control. Without hesitation, he spent eighty-six million Fortune Points to upgrade both Flame Saber and Wind Control.

Fortune: 11

Skills: Flame Saber (Mastery) Wind Control (Mastery)

"Go!"

Jiang Feng sprung into action at once.

The Three-legged Body Technique was unleashed.

Golden light pointed the way out of the mansion.

"Saintess, how much longer until the Grand Elder arrives?"

Liu Chen came to the entrance of the Saintess’s cave and asked.

"Within three days."

The Saintess’s voice came from inside.

"Good. Once we catch that bastard, you must hand him over to me. I want to refine him into an Iron Corpse Puppet, so he can never be reborn!"

Liu Chen gritted his teeth.

"As long as he doesn’t die by my sword, do as you wish."

The Saintess emerged from the cave.

Floating beside her was a White Jade Treasure Sword.

After guarding outside the mansion for over two years, in addition to her cultivation, she had also been refining her flying sword. Heaven rewards the diligent—the level of the White Jade Treasure Sword seemed to have improved.

The Sword Qi it emitted automatically was enough to chill Liu Chen to the bone.

His voice trembled: "Saintess, your Sword Control Technique?"

"Great Success."

The Saintess replied.

With the Sword Technique at Great Success, the White Jade Treasure Sword was transformed as well.

"Congratulations, Saintess."

Liu Chen was both jealous and envious.

He had to stand guard at the door every day, watching for when Jiang Feng might come out. He hadn’t been able to let his mind go blank and fully devote himself to cultivating, like the Saintess.

So, in more than two years, his own cultivation had barely advanced.

"After we catch him, I’ll report to the Grand Elder and let you take the credit as first merit."

The Saintess seemed to know these past two years had been unfair to Liu Chen.

"Thank you, Saintess."

Liu Chen’s face brightened. If he got the first merit, he could exchange it for Spirit Stones or magical treasures as a reward.

"Let’s see if he’s dead yet."

With Sword Control Technique at Great Success, the Saintess wanted to break into the Divine Sect Mansion again.

"Yes!"

Liu Chen followed behind her, and the two came to the entrance of the mansion.

"He’s not dead!"

The Saintess exclaimed in surprise.

She saw golden light flickering faintly inside the mansion.

"Saintess, let me deal with him."

Liu Chen was overjoyed and quickly summoned his purple sword. He’d finally waited for Jiang Feng to appear. Nearly three years—he’d never wasted so much time on any one person.

"So they’re all still here."

Jiang Feng, dashing out of the mansion, spread his Spiritual Sense. In an instant, he sensed Liu Chen and the Saintess.

He knew there was nowhere to hide.

His steps didn’t falter for an instant.

Following the path pointed by the golden light, he raced outward. As he was about to break out of the mansion, the Dragon Bone Bow appeared in his hands. He poured Spiritual Power into the bowstring, drew it to full moon, and fired an arrow straight at the Saintess.

"Hm?"

"Not good!"

The Saintess’s expression changed drastically as she sensed a terrifying aura of danger.
