Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Frustration

"What!"

Seeing this, everyone was so shocked that they stood frozen on the spot.

They had never imagined that Lu Feng would be so decisive, drinking it without the slightest hesitation.

Dugu Yan was also stunned.

She had never thought that this was just an ordinary competition, yet the other party's desire to win was so strong.

Dugu Yan had already thought it through in her heart. As long as the other party said a few nice words and gave her a way to back down gracefully, she would not pursue the matter.

Dugu Yan had tested the potency of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison countless times.

If an ordinary person dared to drink the snake venom, their liver and intestines would surely be torn apart, and they would die on the spot.

What if Lu Feng had misjudged, and this glass of wine was still a glass of poison?

"Are... are you okay?" Dugu Yan asked with an anxious expression.

Before she could finish her sentence, she hurried over and reached out to support Lu Feng.

But the moment her fingers touched Lu Feng's arm, she felt that the other's skin was as hot as a burning charcoal fire, and it was so hot that she quickly withdrew her hand.

"I'm fine. I feel it tastes great!" Lu Feng said with a calm expression and a peaceful tone.

After speaking, he unhurriedly sat down cross-legged. Immediately after, soul power began to slowly circulate in his body, and then he entered a state of cultivation.

One had to know that it was not easy to collect all the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons.

Lu Feng had been busy for a whole year and had only managed to barely collect four of them.

Today, by a fortunate coincidence, he had met Dugu Yan, and had finally collected a sufficient amount of snake venom, finally completing the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons.

If it were not for some subsequent plans, Lu Feng would not have been willing to share this precious medicinal wine with these people.

Lu Feng had tried refining the five poisons long ago.

However, he had used lower-grade poisonous insects before.

Those extremely poisonous soul beasts were extremely precious resources in themselves. Every year, countless soul masters flocked to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain these resources.

After drinking the five poisons medicinal wine, Lu Feng's first sensation was intense heat.

That feeling was as if he had entered a blazing furnace, and his entire body was scorching hot.

This intense heat did not come from the outside temperature, but emanated from within his body.

Inside his body, Lu Feng felt as if his five internal organs were being roasted by a raging fire, and the soul power in his body began to circulate wildly.

When Lu Feng usually cultivated, only his liver and heart would be additionally tempered.

But now it was different.

Lu Feng could clearly feel that all five of his internal organs were being fiercely tempered, and the speed of his soul power circulation was at least twice that of his usual cultivation.

Even for a soul master, the internal organs were very fragile. Once damaged, it was easy for major bleeding to occur, and it was difficult to heal.

After being tempered by the five poisons medicinal wine, Lu Feng felt that his five organs had become very resilient, and his own resistance to poison had also become very strong.

Now, even if Lu Feng drank the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison directly, at most he would only have to lie in bed for a few days, and he would be fully recovered in half a month.

"Phew~" Lu Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the members of the Imperial Fight Team gathered in a circle, surrounding him.

"Brother Tang Si, how are you feeling?"

As Yu Tianheng spoke, he tightly clutched the small wine glass that he had fought so hard to win.

During the time Lu Feng was cultivating, the remaining small glass of medicinal wine had triggered a rather "fierce" scramble among the group.

In the end, by virtue of his Soul Elder cultivation, his status as the captain of the Imperial Fight Team, his Titled Douluo grandfather, and his noble status as one of the young masters of the Upper Three Sects, Yu Tianheng had slightly outmatched Osler and successfully obtained ownership of the medicinal wine.

"I feel absolutely fantastic right now!"

As Lu Feng spoke, he stretched his body to his heart's content. He felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over, as if every pore was breathing freely.

Just a little over ten minutes of cultivation had actually achieved an effect comparable to three months of hard cultivation on a normal day.

Lu Feng could even faintly feel the threshold of level twenty-six.

"Hahaha!" Hearing Lu Feng's words, Yu Tianheng happily patted his shoulder.

Immediately after, Yu Tianheng drank the medicinal wine in his cup without any hesitation.

In an instant, Yu Tianheng felt an extremely berserk energy surge into his body, rampaging through it and shaking his entire being.

He didn't dare to delay in the slightest. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and entered a state of meditative cultivation.

Before long, an extremely strong aura emanated from Yu Tianheng's body. The aura spread out in all directions like a surging wave.

"Crack!" The decorative vase placed by the door was directly shattered by the impact of the blast wave.

"Hahaha!" Yu Tianheng's eyes snapped open, his face overflowing with irrepressible joy, and he burst out laughing again.

Level thirty-two!

"Brother Tang Si, if you come to Heaven Dou City in the future, you must come and be a guest at my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Yu Tianheng said with a broad smile, patting Lu Feng's shoulder enthusiastically.

"Brother Tang, when you come, find me. I'll take you to the most fun places in Heaven Dou City. I guarantee you'll have a great time!" Osler said with a grin.

As the heir to a duke, although Osler usually seemed a bit of a spoiled brat, he was actually very clever.

Through this series of events, Osler had already seen things clearly.

This soul master before him was not only powerful, but his medical skills were also extremely high. Such a talent was definitely worth trying to win over.

"Tch, Leopard, you're so vulgar. Brother Tang Si, when you come, find me. I'll take you to the Moon Pavilion. That place is much more interesting," Yu Feng said, not to be outdone.

"Hmph." Dugu Yan looked at Lu Feng, who was surrounded by the group, and suddenly felt a bit sour.

She snorted coldly, then silently turned and left the private room. Her back looked somewhat lonely.

A gentle evening breeze blew. On the roof of the hotel, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Osler gathered together, chatting enthusiastically about something.

"I say, Vice-Captain, as the saying goes, there is always someone better out there. What's there to be angry about?"

"Think about when I was a kid. Didn't I lose to you countless times?" Osler's face was full of smiles as he tried hard to persuade Dugu Yan, attempting to calm her down.

"Hmph, when you were a kid?" Dugu Yan snorted coldly. "How can that be the same? You were such a wimp as a child. I threw a small scorpion into your clothes, and you were so scared you wet your pants."

Hearing this, Osler's face immediately turned into a bitter melon.

He glanced downstairs. The height of the third floor was only a little over ten meters, which was not too high for a soul master.

Even if Dugu Yan jumped, she probably wouldn't die.

"Alright, big sis, I'm done with you. If you want to be angry, then just keep being angry!" Osler crossed his arms, looked at the distant lights, and quietly blew in the cold wind.

"Sister Yan, you lost this time, so you lost. We'll just find a chance to win back later, won't that be fine?" Ye Lingling also chimed in softly from the side, also trying to console Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan pouted, her eyes looking at the brilliant lights in the distance, and said in a somewhat proud tone:

"I know all these principles, but this insult, I just can't swallow it. Now, as soon as I close my eyes, my mind is full of that kid's smug smile, hmph!"

As Dugu Yan spoke, she took a deep breath, then patted her chest forcefully, as if to push down the frustration in her heart.

To be honest, she hadn't paid much attention to Lu Feng at first.

But now, thinking about it carefully,

In terms of medical skills, it seemed she couldn't compare to him;

In terms of using poison, it seemed she was also slightly inferior;

And in terms of strength and talent...

Oh my, it seemed she couldn't compare to him in all these aspects. It was truly infuriating!
