Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 372 Nie Feng's Failure to Conquer the Tower, the Reason for the Mad Blood Within His Body
"Master, when you sent Senior Brother Yun and Junior Brother Lang to the back mountain to reflect on their mistakes, weren't you actually sending Venerable White Ape to temper them?"

Nie Feng stood beside Xu Qing and asked with a smile.

He had just gone to the back mountain and saw Bu Jingyun and Duan Lang being brutally beaten by the white ape.

"The Venerable White Ape?" Xu Qing smiled slightly when he heard Nie Feng give the White Ape this title. It was quite fitting for the little white ape.

Both Bu Jingyun and Duan Lang's personalities need to be tempered, which is why he had the white ape take action.

“I think this title is very suitable for the white ape, so I have taken the liberty of calling him Venerable White Ape.”

Nie Feng said.

"This title is good; Xiaobai should like it." Xu Qing nodded slightly.

"Go and try?"

Xu Qing gestured for Nie Feng to try his luck at the Martial Arts Tower.

"Good, this disciple is very curious about this Martial Arts Tower."

Nie Feng also wanted to test the difficulty of the Martial Arts Tower.

Many disciples of the World Alliance surrounded the Martial Arts Tower. When they saw Nie Feng walking through the air, they all made way for him.

"Master Feng!"

"Hall Master!"

The disciples of Shenfeng Hall and the other halls all bowed in respect.

"Master, do you want to be the first to attempt the tower?"

The disciple of Shenfeng Hall asked curiously.

“Very well, let me test the difficulty of this Martial Arts Tower for you first.”

Nie Feng smiled and nodded, and his words made the eyes of many disciples of the World Society light up.

Then, Nie Feng stepped into the Martial Arts Tower.

"Do you think the sect leader can pass all the levels in one go?"

"It's really hard to say. According to Steward Wen, the gatekeeper of the Martial Arts Tower is the infamous Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, a master who has been famous for many years!"
His skill and martial arts prowess are extremely unpredictable and formidable; he is definitely not a simple person!

"Hiss, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi!? Aren't those the twelve strongest members of the once number one assassin organization in the world?!"

"I never imagined I'd become the guardian of our World Martial Arts Arena Tower!"

"This is the power of the gang leader! Even the infamous Tianchi assassins must submit to the gang leader's divine might!"

Many disciples of the World Alliance were discussing the situation at the Martial Arts Tower, while Xu Qing's divine sense saw that Nie Feng had already defeated the guardian of the first floor inside the tower.

Continue towards the second floor.

The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi vary in strength and skill, and few of them can pose a threat to Nie Feng in a one-on-one fight.

The assassins on the earlier levels of Tianchi would not be a match for Nie Feng.

But in the later six levels, the assassins' strength and skill were formidable, even bizarre. If Nie Feng wasn't careful, he would be defeated.

After all, Nie Feng was still young, and his skills were no match for the older generation of masters.

Furthermore, their tendency to be lenient in their actions makes them extremely vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

An hour later, Nie Feng, his face slightly pale and his blue robe torn in dozens of places, walked out of the Martial Arts Tower.

"The sect leader is out!"

"Master, are you alright?!"

The disciples of Shenfeng Hall were the first to notice Nie Feng leaving the tower. They rushed forward and, seeing that Nie Feng seemed to be injured, asked him with concern.

"The Tianchi assassins are extremely skilled and their methods are incredibly unpredictable. If you want to challenge the tower, you must be extremely careful and cannot afford to be careless in the slightest."

Remember, the guardians of each level are formidable; those lacking strength should not attempt to force their way in!

After reminding everyone, Nie Feng used his Wind God Leg technique to leave.

The disciples of the various branches of the World Society were left behind in shock.

"Even Master Feng couldn't get through it and was injured. It seems this tower is really difficult to conquer!"

"That's inevitable. Think about how many rewards the gang leader has set up. As long as you pass through a level, you'll have a chance to go to the Hidden Martial Arts Pavilion to borrow a martial arts manual."

Such opportunities were simply unattainable for those who hadn't achieved great things in the past. "That's right, opportunity and risk are always equal."

Many disciples discussed it, and then some began to try to break through the tower.

But he soon emerged covered in injuries, and before even an incense stick could burn, he couldn't even get past the first level.

Not far away, Xu Qing saw this scene and shook his head. With the current strength of these disciples, it would be difficult for anyone to successfully break through the tower in a short period of time.

"how?"

At this moment, Nie Feng came to Xu Qing's side.

“Master, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi are indeed worthy of their reputation. Their martial arts are superb, and I am no match for them.”

Nie Feng said with a wry smile.

He reached the tenth floor but was defeated by Ghost Shadow, whose martial arts originated from Japanese ninjutsu and who was most skilled at assassination at night.

The completely dark environment of the tenth floor made it the perfect assassination site for Ghost Shadow.

Even with his incredibly fast Wind God Legs, Nie Feng couldn't hold out for long in the confined space of the tower before being defeated.

"They're just a bunch of stray dogs. Without the right opportunity, their potential will only be limited. But you're still young, and your potential hasn't been fully realized."

Xu Qing gently patted Nie Feng's shoulder, completely healing his injuries, and then said:
"Feng'er, there is a very strong power within your body. If that power is activated, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds, unleashing earth-shattering combat power."

"But this power is too strong, full of demonic nature, and it is difficult for you to control. You will be controlled by it and lose yourself."

Upon hearing this, Nie Feng was startled and touched his chest. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

"Master, why do I possess that power within me that makes me lose my mind?" Nie Feng asked.

This power sounded evil, and he didn't understand why he possessed it.

"That is the mad bloodline passed down through generations of your Nie family, originating from your ancestor Nie Ying."

Back then, Nie Ying encountered the Fire Qilin, a mythical beast that appears only once in a century. After a fierce battle, he accidentally swallowed the Fire Qilin's blood.

The Fire Qilin is a divine beast of heaven and earth, and its blood contains magical power. Your ancestor Nie Ying changed his bloodline because of this.

After that, your Nie family passed down this bloodline for generations and it has never been eliminated.

It lies dormant deep within your bloodline, only to be unleashed when you lose control of your emotions, at which point this demonic power takes control of your body!

Xu Qing explained the origin of the Nie family's madness, leaving the latter completely dumbfounded.

"Such terrifying and evil power is hidden within my body!" Nie Feng murmured, deeply shocked.

He naturally knew about the Fire Qilin, and had even seen it with his own eyes.

That happened when he was very young, before he joined the World Society. His father, Nie Renwang, and Duan Lang's father were having a decisive battle in Lingyun Cave when the divine beast Fire Qilin appeared.

He still vividly remembers that scene: the fire qilin pulled him and Duan Lang's father into the Lingyun Cave.

From then on, he and Duan Lang's father perished at the hands of the Fire Qilin.

Unexpectedly, the Nie family had a connection with the fire unicorn back in the time of their ancestor Nie Ying.

"This power is indeed evil and powerful, but if you can control this power instead of being controlled by it, Feng'er, it will be possible."

Then you will be able to become one of the world's top experts.

Therefore, you don't need to fear this force. Try to control it and make it manageable; only in this way can you prevent the risk of it spiraling out of control in the future!

Xu Qing patiently and skillfully enlightened Nie Feng.

"Master, how can I control that power?"

Nie Feng was completely baffled; that kind of mad power sounded extremely difficult to control.

This is definitely not an easy problem to solve.

"Your Nie family's inherited inner cultivation technique, the 'Ice Heart Technique,' can temporarily suppress the demonic nature of this power," Xu Qing reminded him.

"So that's how it is. The Ice Heart Manual was created by our ancestor to deal with the power of the Mad Blood!"

Nie Feng suddenly realized that the true purpose of this mental technique, which helps people maintain their rationality, lies in suppressing the power of mad blood!
