Is this the power of the formation?
The Five Elements Formation that Xiao Feng created earlier could only confuse the opponent through mist; it was a trapping formation.
But Xiao Feng simply couldn't understand this: how could one increase their strength through the ability to be roasted by flames?
That's interesting!
At this moment, Xiao Feng even secretly hoped that the system also had this ability, so that he could rely on this power to gradually improve his strength.
However, the system isn't omnipotent...
A moment later, Xiao Feng headed straight for the center of the formation. Just as he was about to sit down, an inner disciple came up to him.
"Are you from another peak? Don't you know the rules here? This isn't a place for you to sit!"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown. He hadn't expected that even after paying money, there would be different levels of service.
Are we engaging in class struggle?
I don't care!
"I've paid!"
Xiao Feng didn't stand on ceremony. As soon as he said this, the disciples of Chonghuo Peak all came forward to greet him.
"Junior brother, you're new here and may not know the rules. Only when Master designates a spot in the center of the Gathering Yang Formation can someone sit there!"
The disciples at first were reasonable, but Xiao Feng was unreasonable. He wouldn't let me sit even though I had paid. Why should I?
Gradually, the surrounding disciples also became less and less friendly.
“You have no right to sit in the middle. Didn’t we just say that only disciples of Chonghuo Peak who have received guidance from their master have the opportunity to sit in the middle?”
Class distinctions are unacceptable!
Xiao Feng showed no mercy.
"If anyone thinks they're better than me, then let's go outside and have a contest. What kind of logic is it to pay money and then not let them sit down?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear, cold voice rang out, and Zhong Ling slowly walked into the crowd.
Seeing that his seat had been taken, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
The people around immediately began to describe what had just happened, and Zhong Ling frowned even more upon hearing this.
"You and I arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect at the same time, right?"
"I feel like I've seen you before!"
Xiao Feng gave a sarcastic remark.
"So what? Didn't you still climb the Heavenly Steps behind me?"
Upon hearing this, the Chonghuo Peak disciples around them knew who this person was. When Xiao Feng and the others entered the sect, it was quite a sensational event.
The first to ascend the Heavenly Staircase, but he had mixed spiritual roots!
This contrast meant that almost everyone in the sect knew Xiao Feng, though they had only heard of him; this was the first time they had actually met him.
“Junior brother, the central position has the purest spiritual energy. It was specifically designated by Master for me, so…”
Xiao Feng responded without hesitation, offering a reasoned and well-founded reply.
"If that's the case, then the disciples on this peak should have made it clear beforehand that I would have avoided the snacks!"
"But he didn't say anything. Instead, he just took the money and let me in. There wasn't even anyone to show me the way. Not only is your service bad, but you also put on this show. Why should I accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling seemed to find some truth in it and couldn't help but look at the disciple at the door.
Are you sure he didn't say anything when he came in?
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was overjoyed. This was the logic of negotiation: to bring others into your own rules.
In this way, everyone has to follow the rules they set for themselves. Can they afford to lose out on the rules they set for themselves?
The disciple nodded blankly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng adopted an even more impolite expression.
"Now you have nothing to say, right? Your disciples have all testified to me that you were the ones who broke the rules first, not me!"
After saying this, Xiao Feng sat down without any hesitation. Some of the disciples around him were quite clever and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
"Junior Sister, that's not how it works. You can't be held responsible for my mistakes. Besides, we can always ask Master to settle the matter!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling realized that he had fallen into Xiao Feng's logical trap. However, since he had already said those words, it was impossible to change them now.
Left with no other option, they had to change their approach.
“Junior brother, you and I entered the sect at the same time. You only entered a little later than me. You can’t ignore this relationship.”
Xiao Feng was even more ruthless.
"We've only met once, isn't it a bit much to talk about feelings?"
Zhong Ling's face flushed slightly, and after a moment she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Junior brother, you are not a disciple with a fire spirit root after all, so there is no great use for you to cultivate here. Our Chonghuo Peak's cultivation techniques will not be open to you. Wouldn't it be a waste for you to take up high-level resources with low-level techniques?"
Xiao Feng stiffened his neck.
"How do you know my Heavy Fire Technique is a low-level skill?"
Xiao Feng's words were somewhat defiant, and upon hearing them, those around him couldn't help but sneer.
The cultivation techniques that no one in the sect would care about were naturally low-level techniques, but Zhong Ling showed no sign of ridicule and patiently continued to speak.
"Junior brother, your cultivation technique is more than enough for the outer perimeter of this formation. It's a waste for you to stay here. Why don't you give up this spot?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples also began to shoo him away, but Xiao Feng remained calm and composed, showing no intention of leaving.
However, what Zhong Ling said was indeed true. The Heavy Fire Technique was incomparable to the other techniques on Heavy Fire Peak. One was a low-level fire technique, while the other was a secret fire technique. Naturally, the spiritual energy consumed was also incomparable.
"A disciple with mixed spiritual roots doesn't need such a good place!"
"Exactly, who cares about something as common as heavy fire technique?"
Seeing that it was about to incite public outrage, the system was afraid that the host it had chosen would be ruined, so it quietly gave a warning.
【Host, why don't you just give in? With me here, all the spiritual energy can be added to you!】
Upon hearing this, a burning desire flashed through Xiao Feng's heart, but then he remembered the ugly faces of those guys from earlier, so he resorted to shamelessness.
"I've paid the money, and I'm not leaving. What can you do about it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling began to feel anxious, because the sun was almost at noon, which would be the best time of day for cultivation.
At that time, countless fire elemental energies will appear in the center of the formation, and I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.
"Junior brother, how about this? I'll return the money to you, but if you really don't want it, I can give you double!"
