Chapter 141: Chapter 130: I Want to Be Reckless for Once

That night, Zou Feng decided not to wait any longer. He began attempting to fuse the two new Evil Skills he had learned with his original Cultivation Skills.

This fusion process was also a form of Cultivation, so of course, he had to let his number one supporter take the brunt of it.

Zou Feng had originally thought that because the Cultivation Skills were quite compatible, the fusion would be a natural and easy process.

However, the process was not smooth. A full hour passed, and he still couldn’t get the hang of it.

Thankfully, the side effects were transferred away. Otherwise, even if this attempt hadn’t caused him to fall into demonization, he would have definitely suffered severe internal injuries.

He struggled like this until the middle of the night before the two Cultivation Skills were finally, barely, fused successfully.

“Great Universal Hand (Refined Skill), Progress: 30%”

“Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step (Refined Skill), Progress: 28%”

To Zou Feng’s surprise, although the fusion was successful, the names of the Cultivation Skills displayed hadn’t changed.

This meant that the Mountain-breaking Palm and Ghostly Shadow Mysterious Step were simply not impressive enough compared to the Great Universal Hand and the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step.

Perhaps if he waited until these two Cultivation Skills reached the Realm of Synthesis and Mastery before trying to fuse them again, the situation would be different.

But the situation was urgent, and Zou Feng couldn’t afford to wait any longer.

Fortunately, the cultivation progress had increased quite well.

Prior to the Fusion Skill, both the Great Universal Hand and the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step had only single-digit progress.

After the fusion succeeded, both increased by over twenty percent simultaneously, which was already quite good.

And Zou Feng could clearly feel that his Great Universal Hand, which had originally been strong only in affecting an opponent’s emotions and inflicting Cold Poison, was not particularly outstanding in terms of striking power.

This was often a common weakness of most Poison Skills.

But after fusing it with the Mountain-breaking Palm, its striking power immediately increased by a large margin, and he also gained insight into a power-charging move.

The same was true for the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step; its footwork became even more unpredictable.

Before, it was the wobbly and erratic footwork of a tipsy man, but now, with the Ghostly Shadow Mysterious Step added on, the tipsy man had been upgraded to a full-blown “drunkard.”

Amidst the swaying, he could confuse his opponent to the point they’d think they were the ones who were drunk.

And producing a series of highly deceptive afterimages while moving was now a simple matter.

After stopping his Cultivation, Zou Feng was quite satisfied overall.

After all, to achieve such results in just a few days, he couldn’t ask for more.

Furthermore, Zou Feng’s progress wasn’t just the Fusion Skill.

Five days ago, he had just advanced to the Seventh Grade, so he could only be considered a Seventh Grade rookie.

He wasn’t yet accustomed to the various insights of this Realm or its application in actual combat.

He couldn’t yet perfectly unleash the formidable strength he possessed.

But with these five days of adaptation, he had basically familiarized himself with what the Seventh Grade was all about and had left the ranks of the rookies.

If he were to face Gu Yufan and Chu Hang again now, Zou Feng could just signal for them to come at him together.

This wasn’t arrogance; he truly had the confidence to back it up.

He had a Primary Cultivation Skill at the Peak Realm, plus three skills at the Realm of Refining Fire, and a Body Refining Skill that, while at the Realm of Synthesis and Mastery, was already very close to the Realm of Refining Fire…

With so many high-Realm Cultivation Skills, it went without saying how valuable Zou Feng was at the Seventh Grade stage.

’In the time to come, if Deng Guangxin still doesn’t make a move, my plan is to frantically cultivate the Tribulation-Indestructible Body.

’Anyway, further practice of my other Cultivation Skills won’t yield any significant results in a short time, and there are no suitable low-level Evil Skills available for fusion at the moment.

’Perhaps after I unify the gangs of Yuan Guang County and collect all the Evil Skill True Records from the Mountain and River Association and the Danxin Alliance, I’ll be able to pick out some good ones…

’In any case, the next step is to train the Tribulation-Indestructible Body like mad. Once this Skill also reaches Refined Skill, I won’t have to wait for Deng Guangxin to make a move; I’ll go knocking on his door for a “lesson” myself.’

After daybreak, everything continued as usual.

He sparred with Bian Yixia, continuing to hone their Combined Skill.

After sparring, he would rest for a while, eat some Spirit Fish, and then cultivate the Tribulation-Indestructible Body.

’I thought that if things continued like this, I would really have to take the initiative and go find Deng Guangxin myself.’

But another day passed. Just as Zou Feng was about to head to the Practice Room to meet Bian Yixia, Xiang Kang, who had never visited the pharmacy before, suddenly appeared.

“Xiaozou, can we talk?”

’Actually, I don’t feel any hostility toward Xiang Kang at the moment.

’Although that guy didn’t choose to side with Bian Yixia during the previous internal strife, Yixia clearly doesn’t mind. She still respectfully calls him Uncle Xiang.

’Besides, when the time comes for a complete fallout with Deng Guangxin, even if I can’t get Xiang Kang to join my side, things will be much simpler as long as he chooses to help neither party.

’But if he chooses to side with Deng Guangxin…

’He is a veteran Seventh Grade Expert, after all. I can’t just assume he’s a pushover because he was injured by the remnants of the Ten Directions Sect.

’But he probably wouldn’t go that far, would he?

’Normally, his attitude toward Deng Guangxin’s disciples is no different than how he’d treat his own nephews and nieces.

’Especially Yixia. She spent the most time with Xiang Kang, so they should be the closest.

’So, would Xiang Kang really stand by and watch Bian Yixia be absorbed to death by Deng Guangxin?’

“Boss Xiang, please sit!”

After gesturing for Xiang Kang to sit, Zou Feng personally brewed some tea.

Zhao Tianhu, Liu Chun, and the others had all been sent by Zou Feng to the Guangfa Gambling House to protect Luo Yong and his family.

He was currently a Hall Master in name only.

After all, he was about to rebel, so having Zhao Tianhu and the others here would just be a liability.

After Xiang Kang sat down, he spoke as if making small talk, “With your current Realm, being a Hall Master in the pharmacy is a waste of your talent!”
