Regarding the Immortal Armament Villa Master's words, Chu Feng did not deny them.
Because the Immortal Armament Villa Master had indeed guessed correctly — Chu Feng was simultaneously wielding the Ancient War Sword and the Ancient War Axe, bearing immense pressure.
And he had indeed suffered a backlash.
Actually, the Ancient War Axe was manageable enough. If he only used the Ancient War Axe, Chu Feng wouldn't be in this state.
However, the power of the Ancient War Sword was truly difficult to control. Even the current Chu Feng had not fully unleashed its true strength.
Therefore, while fully driving the Ancient War Sword, attempting to also deploy a martial art was already somewhat overreaching.
And under those circumstances, simultaneously bringing out the Ancient War Axe as well — it would be strange if Chu Feng didn't suffer a backlash.
Of course, this only applied to the current Chu Feng. Secret techniques were wondrous methods. As their master's strength grew, the power of the secret technique would also grow, and the secret technique and its master would become ever more attuned, growing more familiar with each other until ultimately merging as one.
Chu Feng believed that as his cultivation advanced, he would not only gain greater mastery over the Ancient War Sword but would also be able to unleash its true power.
But that was the future, not the present.
Hum—
At that moment, a pill streaked through the air like a shooting star and came to a halt before Chu Feng.
It was a pill of formidable medicinal power.
"Young friend Chu Feng, take this pill. It will ease the pain of the backlash."
The Immortal Armament Villa Master said to Chu Feng. The pill had been tossed from his hand, so it was naturally a gift from him.
"Thank you, Senior." This time, Chu Feng did not refuse, and took the pill directly.
He knew this pill could indeed ease his suffering, and he didn't have any such pills on him.
Under these circumstances, Chu Feng had no need to put on a brave face, so he naturally accepted the pill.
Once the pill entered his mouth, it immediately transformed into gentle power that spread throughout Chu Feng's body, seeping into the depths of his soul.
If the current backlash was a raging inferno, burning to consume Chu Feng's body and soul...
Then the power transformed from this pill was a clear, cool spring.
Though this spring could not completely extinguish the raging flames, it could certainly weaken their force.
Now, as the medicinal power dispersed through him, just as the Immortal Armament Villa Master had said, the pain from Chu Feng's backlash had indeed eased considerably.
"Thank you, Senior."
Chu Feng cupped his fists toward the Immortal Armament Villa Master once more, expressing his gratitude for the pill's efficacy.
"A guest is a guest, so young friend Chu Feng, there is no need to be so polite. This is only what this old man ought to do." The Immortal Armament Villa Master smiled faintly, then continued:
"The hunting competition has concluded. Next, we shall proceed to the prize distribution. All participating young friends, please bring out the Spirit World Bones you have each collected, so that my Immortal Armament Villa may verify the results."
After the Immortal Armament Villa Master said this, many of those who had participated in the hunting competition voluntarily brought out their Spirit World Bones.
Chu Feng was no exception. And when Chu Feng revealed his Spirit World Bones, it once again sparked a wave of astonishment.
Because Chu Feng's Spirit World Bones were simply too many. If other people's Spirit World Bones amounted to a small mound...
Then Chu Feng's was an entire mountain peak. The Spirit World Bones that Chu Feng alone had obtained — even if all the other participants' were combined, they couldn't come close.
Such a disparity was truly staggering.
"How incredible."
Those juniors who had participated in the hunting competition looked at Chu Feng with gazes filled with admiration.
Having participated in the hunting competition, they had experienced everything firsthand and were well aware of the Spirit World Beasts' power, as well as how difficult it was to obtain Spirit World Bones.
