Chapter 269 - Abstaining

Chapter 269 Abstaining“The pill is problematic?” Wang Feng heard Guijianchou’s words and then frowned a little. He slowly took back the hand holding the pill.

Through X-ray vision, Wang Feng’s scalp tingled suddenly. Seeing dozens of tiny worms squirming in the pill, he almost dropped it immediately.

Why did the Starspark School give people pills with worms? Was it a trap for them all?

Fortunately, he did not directly swallow the pill at the time. Or these worms might have squirmed in his stomach now.

“Master, why are there so many worms in the pill?” Wang Feng spoke deadpan, imitating his Master, and made it a normal conversation.

“I don’t know.” Guijianchou shook his head and then said, “They may be plotting something. You should not take the pill. I’m not sure if I can save you.”

“Sure thing. I won’t take the pill.” Wang Feng nodded. How could he take the pill when knowing there were worms in it?

He felt constantly sick while holding it now, not to mention taking the pill.

Fortunately, he didn’t lose much strength. Otherwise, he must have taken the pill now.

Looking at Fang Cheng and others, Wang Feng found that they had swallowed down the pills. It was too late to tell them.

“The Starspark School holds the competition after so many years. It may be a huge conspiracy. You must play it by ear or get out of it when the situation goes wrong.”

“You should get out of here when your life is threatened. I will get your back.”

“Yes.” Wang Feng nodded, knowing the competition might have something behind the scene.

Who would give the competitors pills with worms? And the worms were alive. How could it not be problematic?

Thanks to his X-ray vision, he could see the worms in the pill.

The cleaning work was finished quickly. About ten minutes later, the bodies had been removed by some people, and the fresh blood had seeped into the ground. There was no trace of blood.

“Well, I believe that everyone has recovered. The battle will continue. Those who advanced in the first round can come forward to me.” The Lord of the Starspark School said. Wang Feng heard his words but hesitated for a moment. Finally, he came forward after Guijianchou gave him a sign.

Whether there was a conspiracy or not, he wouldn’t take the pill anyway. It was so horrible to see many alive worms in it. It would be strange if he took it and nothing happened.

“Fang Cheng, do you feel any uncomfortable?” After people gathered around here, Wang Feng asked Fang Cheng by his side.

“No, what’s wrong?” Fang Cheng was confused when Wang Feng asked him. He didn’t know what answer Wang Feng wanted.

“Nothing.” The Lord of the Starspark School was in front of him now. Wang Feng dare not say that the pill was problematic. If Wang Feng was heard, he would be done.

Applying his X-ray vision, Wang Feng directly saw what was going on inside the body of Feng Cheng right through his clothes and skin.

However, the glance made him feel the situation was getting worse suddenly. Because the worms in the pill were everywhere inside his body now, squirming slowly.

“Are you sure that you’re OK?” Knowing those worms in the pill had come back to life, Wang Feng asked Fang Cheng again.

“Of course, I’m fine. I am strong enough to beat down a cow now. Are you playing stupid?” Fang Cheng said and looked at Wang Feng weirdly.

“Forget it since you feel fine. If you can’t beat down them, just surrender. You don’t have to suffer it forcedly.”

“Don’t worry. I know my limit.” Fang Cheng said and no longer talked with Wang Feng.

Fang Cheng was not alone. Everyone who took the pill just now had worms inside all over their bodies now. It looked so terrible.

Wang Feng didn’t know what these worms were for. They felt fine now, but something might happen later.

Looking at the Lord of the Starspark School, he was talking about all kinds of rules, and his face was as normal as usual, as if he didn’t know there were some worms in the pills.

The first round was so cruel. Many people died. But the rules of the following rounds would be much simpler. Everyone fought against one opponent after drawing straws. The loser wouldn’t be qualified for the next round directly.

If the opponent surrendered, one could not attack another anymore, or he was against the rules.

Of course, one to one could be dangerous. There was no limitation to life and death. They could attack others with their wills and even beat them to death.

Over two hundred people would draw straws simultaneously, and the two people with the same number would fight one another. Half of them would lose the game after a single battle.

After several rounds of the battle, the strongest one would stand out.

Wang Feng randomly drew lots. What he looked at was number seventy-eight.

“People with the same number can get on the platform.” At this time, the Lord of the Starspark School said with his hands up slowly.

Following his movement, dozens of small fighting platforms of several square meters rose up slowly around Wang Feng and others. Each platform had a number on it.

“Fang Cheng, mark my words. If you can’t defeat your opponent, just surrender.” When Wang Feng left here, he reminded Fang Cheng again.

“What’s wrong with you? It seems I’m going to lose the game.” Fang Cheng heard his words but didn’t know what he was up to. Fang Cheng was very confused.

“Keep my words in mind, and you just need to know that I won’t hurt you.” After he said these, Wang Feng directly went up to the platform 78.

As he went up to the platform, another person with number seventy-eight came up slowly.

It was a young man with inhospitality. He had a good breath and might be in the prime of Internal Strength. It was estimated that he would reach the interim of Internal Strength soon.

But the prime was always the prime, not the interim. So, Wang Feng felt no pressure at all.

“I’m Xiong Ze. Show me your strength.” He said indifferently, holding fists on hips.

“I’m Wang Feng,” Wang Feng replied.

“Now you can go to hell.” Suddenly, Xiong Ze’s face turned, and he showed a bloodthirsty look. His fist came straight to Wang Feng.

The attack was out of blue. Ordinary people must get panic at the time, but Wang Feng was nothing like them. He moved his body to dodge his attack and went straight to the back of Xiong Ze. Xiong Ze fell down from the battlefield at only a slap of Wang Feng.

After a slap, Xiong Ze was down on the ground. Fresh blood came out of his mouth and nose. He died in the blink of an eye.

“How could he die at one attack?” Watching the dead man on the ground, Wang Feng was astonished. He couldn’t understand the situation at all.

This man almost reached the interim of Internal Strength. By rights, he could fight longer. How could he die of one slap?

If Wang Feng didn’t know he had a certain belligerence, he was thought to be weak like paper. How weak he was!

Xiong Ze was dead, bleeding from his mouth and nose only at one slap. Wang Feng didn’t think he had reached such a high level with his one slap.

But Wang Feng thought of something very soon and immediately used his X-ray vision.

Under his X-ray vision, he saw through the body of the dead man. The worms were gnawing at Xiong Ze’s heart.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Feng’s scalp tingled. He felt the cold spreading from his head to toe. He finally understood the cause of the death. It was those warms that destroyed Xiong Ze’s heart.

The heart was the core of a human body as well as the source of power. Any damage to the heart would result in a coma at least or even death at most.

Xiong Ze didn’t die from his slap but those worms frenziedly gnawing at his heart.

Although Wang Feng had already known what was happening, he suppressed his horror in his mind forcedly and remained calm.

Was this still a normal fight? What did the Starspark School attempt to do? Did they want to kill everyone?

There were so many questions which appeared in the mind of Wang Feng. But no one had the answer.Read more chapter on novelhall.com

Wang Feng didn’t care about the body before him and looked at people on the other platforms. He found that the worms were snapping inside one body on every platform.

He also found a common trait that the person who the worms would bite must be the relatively weaker one.

It seemed that the Starspark School attempted to kill them with a firm hand, which gave Wang Feng gooseflesh.

It was terrifying.

The weaker one who was bitten by the worms would be easier to kill, which made it a false appearance that they were weaker and beaten to death by their opponents.

If the competition continued in this way, the consequence could be imagined simply. The only survivor would be the champion, and the rest would be dead.

At this moment, Wang Feng finally knew what the Starspark School was plotting. They wanted all the participants to die.

Ten Marrow Clearing Pills were used to tempt the participants, so they would fight regardless of life and death. After they ran out of their strength, they would take the pills which were given by the Starspark School.

Another round would begin after taking the pills. Then the weaker ones would directly die from the worms which were biting them, and as thus, the Starspark School had nothing to do with their death.

The competitors were all elites from all the sects. If they died here, their schools might be led to rock bottom.

Recalling that his Brother told him the Starspark School was the largest school in the Cultivation World, Wang Feng suddenly came to his realization.

Killing all the potential young proteges and then impairing their schools would make the Starspark School become the strongest one forever. What was the difference between their behaviors and hegemony?

After some time, when the old generations all died, who could compete with the Starspark School?

It was like boiling a frog in warm water. There was nothing wrong at the beginning. But bad things would happen sooner or later over time.

The frog would die from the boiled water.

“I’m out.” Although only one pill was suspicious, Wang Feng had a vision for consequence. He couldn’t smile as a winner at this moment. Horror was all he got.

The Starspark School was setting them up all. More fights would kill him if things continued in this way.

He didn’t care about the honor anymore. All he wanted was far away from the conspiracy.

A man in the interim of Internal Strength wanted to leave，which brought Wang Feng a lot of attention in the blink of an eye. Others were looking at him with puzzlement.

The reward was ten Marrow Clearing Pills this time. A man with an extremely great chance to win the champion should abstain. Why did he give up on earth?

“Is Younger Brother out of his mind?” No one could understand why he made this decision, including He Tian.

“He isn’t insane.” Guijianchou’s said in a calm tone.

Of course, somewhere He Tian couldn’t see, a sense of delight appeared on Guijianchou’s face and then disappeared.

The competition was especially suspicious this time. They unexpectedly reopened a competition that had been suspended for over ten years. Besides, they gave the participants some problematic pills with worms. There should not be anything good for the participants.

Guijianchou told Wang Feng to leave when something went wrong before, and he just prepared for the worst. Wang Feng’s decision to give up on his own initiative showed that he had found a clue.

There was no doubt that the Starspark School was plotting something. Wang Feng made a wise decision to give up the competition.
