Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 276 - 264: Farewell to the Demon Extermination Army, Acupuncture Magic Ring, Exposed to the Vision of the Demon Clan! (3/3)

Chapter 276: Chapter 264: Farewell to the Demon Extermination Army, Acupuncture Magic Ring, Exposed to the Vision of the Demon Clan! (3/3)

Chu Feng followed Zheng Bo, who had a worried expression on his face, inspected himself thoroughly to ensure that he hadn’t smuggled anything, and then left Warehouse Number One.

By the time he came out, it was already close to lunchtime, so Chu Feng immediately contacted the Demon Annihilation Army to arrange a visit in the afternoon to the Far East Military District to redeem his rewards.

After Zheng Bo accompanied Chu Feng to finish their meal, a Junior Lieutenant Yao from the Demon Annihilation Army had already arrived at the military base.

At the entrance of the base, Chu Feng and Zheng Bo embraced each other tightly, and Chu Feng laughed, "Zheng, thank you for your help, and I hope in the future we can fight side by side!"

Zheng Bo patted his shoulder, shook his head, and smiled, "With your talent, I’m afraid the next time we meet, I might have to look up to you.

"That’s good, the stronger you are, the more demons you can kill in the future!"

Chu Feng laughed heartily, "Once we’re on the battlefield, we’re all comrades and brothers!

"I hope that one day in the future, we can exterminate all the demons and launch a counter-attack into the two realms of demons, expanding the territory for Longhua!"

Zheng Bo gave a thumbs up and also laughed heartily, "What a great aspiration, what an imposing spirit! That day will come, here’s to our success!

"Commander Lin is busy right now and specifically asked me to see you off. On behalf of the Demon Extermination Army, I wish Brother Zhu a smooth journey!"

"Thank you, Commander Lin and the Demon Extermination Army for your generous affection, please take care, Zheng, until we meet again!"

Chu Feng bid farewell with a fist salute, got into the pickup truck of the Demon Annihilation Army, and drove off with Junior Lieutenant Yao toward the Far East Defense Line base of the Demon Annihilation Army.

...

Upon arrival at the base, Chu Feng learned that both Xu Tianci and Li Dongjiang were not around and he had no idea where they had gone.

He was received by Lou Ping, the Brigade Commander of the Second Field Brigade of the Far East Defense Line, whom he had met during the confrontation with the Fire Spirit Demon Priest Fika.

Lou Ping was very enthusiastic towards him.

During the confrontation with Fika, the giant Chu Feng had transformed into displayed a destructive power not inferior to his own, which made it impossible for him to regard this eighteen-year-old as an ordinary student anymore.

The two chatted for a long time, and Chu Feng was very humble, positioning himself as a junior and eager to learn, which made Lou Ping feel quite pleased and he did not hesitate to give pointers to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng learned many things from Lou Ping, including some private techniques to increase efficiency when opening acupoints later, as well as ways to improve the utilization rate of True Force, among other things.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng did not get to enjoy the exceptional treatment at the Demon Annihilation Army as he did with the Demon Extermination Army in terms of exchanging for materials.

With Xu Tianci and Li Dongjiang not at home, no one dared or had the authority to lift restrictions for Chu Feng, let alone take him into the heavily guarded storage facilities.

Lou Ping only gave him a list that was even more detailed than last time, supplemented with graphical information on the terminal, allowing him to make his choice in the office.

Chu Feng browsed briefly and found that the Demon Annihilation Army, unlike the Demon Extermination Army, was quite weak in martial techniques but very advanced in magic, with over a thousand kinds of magic to choose from just on the list!

The True Artifacts available for selection were very limited, but there was an astounding variety of Magic Conductors, with all kinds of effects available, which really opened his eyes.

There was no permission for him to exchange for Taoist Tools, but Chu Feng was no longer interested in Taoist Tools made by others.

Using precious exchange opportunities to learn from others would be a losing deal, especially the kind that would make you lose your front teeth by jumping up.

Moreover, he already possessed an Ancient Taoist Device Embryo, which was lying obediently in the Grotto Heaven, waiting for him to activate it—why bother with the misfortune of Taoist Tools?

After a quick look through, Chu Feng’s gaze settled on a Magic Conductor in the list.

This magic conductor was named the Acupuncture Magic Ring.

Seeing his interest in the Acupuncture Magic Ring, Lou Ping explained, "This is a very special Magic Conductor that combines spiritual cultivation, attack and defense in one.

"The method of use is quite special, first requiring the opening of the Upper Dantian; then, after acknowledging the ring through spiritual power, it is stored and nourished within the Upper Dantian.

"Ordinarily, touching the magic ring with spiritual power will produce a continuous, intense pain. The process is very painful and consumes a lot, but it can refine the quality of spiritual power.

"At the same time, spiritual power can be stored in it. When needed, just a thought can generate a mental shock, which can be used to attack enemies or fend off spiritual attacks."

Chu Feng showed an interested expression; he had never seen such a Magic Conductor that could be stored inside the body.

If that was the case, even if he used the "Law of Heaven and Earth," he wouldn’t have to worry about bursting it—it would actually suit him well—

When fighting against Fika, because he was in a hurry to transform, he forgot to stow away the Crystal Rainbow Bracelet on his wrist, which ended up exploding on the spot and got lost somewhere, causing him quite some distress for a long time.

In the Grotto Heaven, there was another bracelet, but that was intended as a gift for Wang Erbao, who was both a brother and a young uncle.

Moreover, the bracelet could not expand with his body and was no longer suitable for him; he needed a way to protect his mind with spiritual power.

He smiled at Lou Ping and said, "Thank you, Commander Lou, I’ll choose this one!"

Lou Ping looked at him intently, "Let me remind you, once you’ve made your choice, there’s no regretting it.

"The Acupuncture Magic Ring may sound effective, but in reality, the experience is pretty miserable. As soon as it’s brought into the upper dantian, it will continuously cause pain.

"Using it to temper your spiritual power is even more agonising, on par with having your brain drawn and quartered!

"If you don’t handle it well and use too much spiritual power while the pain is too intense, it could lead to mental derangement!"

Chu Feng smiled, "Then, is the effect of tempering my spiritual power worth this pain and risk?"

A smile of admiration appeared on Lou Ping’s lips, "It’s worth more than what you pay for!"

Chu Feng bowed his head slightly, whispering to himself, "...enduring this suffering doesn’t guarantee success, but..."

He suddenly looked up and laughed heartily, "If one doesn’t endure the bitterest of the bitter, how can they become a person above others? I’ll take this one!"

...

[Superior Magic Device: Acupuncture Magic Ring, with special effect: Tempering, Psychic Shock]

[Reminder: Residual mental energy from the Demon Clan is present within the magic ring, which can be cleared using psychic combat techniques.]

As soon as Chu Feng received the Acupuncture Magic Ring, two notifications popped up.

He immediately understood; this magic ring was obviously a spoil of war obtained after killing members of the Demon Clan, decrypted and stored in the warehouse for exchange.

However, he didn’t have any compulsions about cleanliness, as long as he could cleanse the residual mental energy and use it just the same.

After saying goodbye to Lou Ping, he once again climbed into Junior Lieutenant Yao’s pickup truck, heading to Mount Alk for rest.

The next day, bright and early, he would board a train bound for Yan Capital, returning to the campus he hadn’t seen in so long!

...

Returning to Mount Alk and standing on the familiar streets, Chu Feng had a hint of a daze on his face.

A mere half a month had felt like half a century to him.

Reflecting on his experiences along the way: pursuing the murderer, infiltrating the enemy camp, gathering secrets, poisoning water supplies, organizing assaults, surrounding and exterminating groups of demons, slaughtering many lives!

Each significant event was completed with wracking his brains.

During this journey, he had also reaped rich rewards.

He had become an Everlasting Realm Warrior, awakened the Law of Heaven and Earth, and harvested nearly two thousand attribute points.

He obtained the ultimate skill "Explosive Fist" compiled by Lin Zhong, an ancient dao instrument embryo [Marquis King Armor], as well as a Superior Magic Device that aids both cultivation and defense [Acupuncture Magic Ring]!

He also met many respectable seniors and received their care, including Lin Zhong, Xu Tianci, Hong Ye, Lou Ping, Zheng Bo...

And the most important gain: he found a glimmer of hope to rescue his parents’ souls—the Soul Hosting Device [Soul Hosting Pot]!

Lin Zhong has already promised that if needed in the future, he will contact experts from the Demon Slayer and Exorcist Forces to help.

When Chu Feng lures out the Fire Sacrifice Evil God, they will join forces to kill the split spirit of the Evil God, break the Evil God’s Divine Nation, and rescue the souls of the Human Race within!

A fierce murderous intent flashed in Chu Feng’s eyes as he murmured a name—

The Fire Sacrifice Evil God!

...

Chu Feng walked into the familiar Nebula Hotel and received the key to the deluxe suite from the same hotel manager.

He still felt apologetic for the damages he caused to the hotel the last time, but to his surprise, the hotel manager chatted with him with a warm smile as if greeting an old friend, without mentioning any of the past unpleasantness as if it had never happened.

But that was fine by him; he was happy to keep things light.

After parting ways with the manager, he went straight into the suite to sort through the gains of the recent period.

Most importantly, it was time to unlock the long-awaited self-created martial skill!

However, he didn’t know that the intelligence about him had already reached the Demon Clan’s occupied territories before he even arrived at the Nebula Hotel!

"Chu Feng!"

For the first time, Chu Feng’s name was mentioned by the upper echelons of the Demon Clan!
