Everyone present, except Shi Miao, stared at the scene in a daze, as if they were under a petrification spell.
Before the fight began, they had imagined countless possible scenarios and outcomes, but none of them were like what they saw before them.
How did Zuo Haoran, who was as powerful as a god just a second ago, become like this? What on earth had happened?
They all looked at Bai Changting, their expressions of shock unconsciously revealing a hint of fear. Could it be that Bai Changting had learned some magical arts from the cave in Qingyun Mountain?
What they didn't know was that Bai Changting, who seemed calm, was actually very confused.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Friend Zuo, are you okay?"
Does he look like he's okay?
After the dragon energy exploded, even though it had been completely absorbed by his body, Zuo Haoran could no longer sense its presence. It was as if a black hole, unknown even to him, was absorbing everything within him. His once abundant mana had transformed from a vast ocean into a dried-up stream. The remaining mana surged through his body, causing cold sweat to cover his forehead and back.
The fear and despair brought by the unknown overwhelmed him like a tide. Could it be that the formation was so well-suited to him that, while he was improving his cultivation, it had unconsciously overdrawn his physical potential, causing a backlash? Other than this, Zuo Haoran could think of no other reason.
He took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his breath and magic power.
"grandfather!"
Zuo Shaohua rushed over and wanted to help Zuo Haoran up.
As soon as he supported him, Zuo Haoran's magic power, which he had stabilized with great difficulty, went out of control again.
"puff!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, several mouthfuls of blood spurted out, spraying all over Zuo Shaohua.
Zuo Shaohua panicked even more, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
He shook Zuo Haoran desperately.
Zuo Haoran was shaken so hard that he almost fainted. His grandson usually seemed quite smart, so why was he so stupid now? Was he really not trying to murder him?
It was Zuo Haoran's friend who noticed the clue and quickly stopped Zuo Shaohua's murder attempt, "Stop shaking it, or your grandfather will have no future."
Zuo Shaohua suddenly realized and quickly put his grandfather down.
The others all gathered around.
Bai Changting immediately cleared himself up, "I didn't do anything to him. I don't know how he became like this."
Shi Miao deliberately showed a thoughtful expression, "From my perspective, his situation is more like using a secret method to temporarily increase his combat power, but ended up increasing it too much and causing trouble."
Even those who disliked Bai Changting couldn't find anything bad to say about him. After all, he could even tolerate someone as young as Shi Miao being a stepping stone, so he could tolerate Zuo Haoran even more. No one thought he would secretly kill Zuo Haoran.
Some people also started to murmur in their hearts. Zuo Haoran's words just now were very nice, as if he was letting victory or defeat be at the mercy of fate, but in the end he was really willing to give it his all to win.
Zuo Haoran's face flushed red when he heard Shi Miao's words. He wanted to refute her, but he didn't know where to start, so he felt even more uncomfortable. He also felt a little regretful. He really shouldn't have tried so hard to increase his momentum just to save Bai Changting's face.
It was also Shaohua's fault. How exactly had he arranged his formation? He'd used this formation in combat before, but the maximum boost was only 30%. This time, let alone 30%, it was probably 300%. No wonder something went wrong.
However, it may also be because there is an extra dragon vein in his body, which caused a resonance with the formation that was greater than expected.
Zuo Haoran has found a reasonable reason for his failure this time and now regrets it.
After finally calming down his chaotic energy, Zuo Haoran was too embarrassed to talk about his sparring match with Bai Changting. He thought the matter was over, but suddenly, Zuo Haoran felt a long-lost hunger. The hunger came so fast and fierce that he could not resist it at all, and he could only raise the white flag of surrender.
"I'm so hungry."
He couldn't help but mutter it out loud.
"Haoran, what are you talking about?" His friend noticed his eyes suddenly drooped, and hurriedly leaned in to listen. Although Zuo Haoran looked very embarrassed, he was still a Jindan Grandmaster and the head of the Zuo family. He was not someone they could openly laugh at.
"Hungry, I'm so hungry."
This time, the feeling of hunger was even more intense than the last time. His mind was filled with thoughts of replenishing his spiritual energy and finding natural treasures. Ordinary food was of no use at all.
The Shenglong Buddha Bud placed on the table not far from Zuo Haoran was emitting a sweet fragrance that Zuo Haoran could not resist.
His strong willpower allowed him to push the others aside and stumble towards Shenglong Buddha Bud. At this moment, his rationality was replaced by the domineering hunger, and he could not see the existence of others.
He pounced and stuffed a box of Shenglong Buddha Buds into his mouth. The spiritual power contained in Shenglong Buddha Buds slightly filled the void. After the void, there was a deeper desire.
Not enough, this is not enough!
After Zuo Haoran devoured the Shenglong Buddha Bud, Dong Wen and the others' expressions changed drastically. Zuo Haoran had promised them that he would give it to them, so why did he just eat it right in front of them? What the hell was he doing? Was he playing a trick on them?
It would have been fine if this thing didn't belong to them in the first place, but they were told it was given to them and then taken away. These masters of metaphysics felt they had been fooled and were furious.
Zuo Shaohua felt that his grandfather's state was very familiar. He seemed to be in the same situation when he was promoted last time. At that time, he had eaten up all the domestic stocks of the Zuo family and had to bring back most of the rare materials and treasures from abroad.
