In the dungeon of Liyang City.

“The internal energy of a Connate expert is indeed intense!”

Zhang Xuan, who had devoured a portion of Wang Bo’s internal energy, suddenly realized that his newly added internal energy was a little superficial. This made him sigh in his heart.

He originally thought that he could devour it all in one go and increase his strength.

However, he had only devoured a small portion of it, so he had no choice but to stop for the time being and stabilize his newly increased cultivation.

Fortunately, the “Connate Technique” he cultivated had a solid foundation. Under his circulation of the cultivation technique, he completely transformed the new internal energy into his strength.

This was the heaven-defying aspect of the “Connate Technique”. Not only was it very helpful in improving one’s strength, but it also had an unexpected effect on polishing one’s foundation.

With this martial art, he seemed to have seen a way to advance to Grandmaster without using points.

Above Connate was Grandmaster. According to Zhang Xuan’s understanding, there was no Grandmaster in the entire Great Zhou Empire.

If he was lucky and obtained a top-notch martial arts manual, he might become the first Grandmaster in the Great Zhou Empire.

Of course, Zhang Xuan was only looking forward to it because he knew very well that top-grade martial arts could only be chanced upon by luck.

For example, the “Connate Technique” he was cultivating now had been obtained by accident.

However, although the “Connate Technique” was very useful for stabilizing one’s foundation, the internal energy of a Connate expert could not be sucked dry in one go. It needed some time to digest.

And what Zhang Xuan lacked the least was patience, so he was not in a hurry to succeed.

After all, Wang Bo had fallen into his hands. There was no chance for him to escape. As long as he needed it, he could continue to devour Wang Bo’s internal energy at any time.

As for whether the Imperial Court would send anyone to rescue Wang Bo, Zhang Xuan was not worried at all.

This was because he knew very well that the Imperial Court had sent out so many Connate experts to break up the alliance in one go.

In the end, they lost a Connate expert the first time they attacked. Would the Imperial Court continue taking risks?

One had to know that even in the Imperial Court, there were not many Connate experts. Furthermore, after the attack last night, the alliance would definitely be prepared.

Once they sent someone to save Wang Bo, it was hard to say if they would lose another Connate expert.

It was inevitable that the Imperial Court would not give up, but before they had absolute confidence, they would not continue to take the risk.

Of course, this was just Zhang Xuan’s guess. With his trump card, even if the Imperial Court really sent people to save Wang Bo, Zhang Xuan was confident that he could defeat them.

After all, he still had the points awarded by the system that he had yet to use. If he really encountered a crisis, he could use the system points to increase his strength. Even if he could not win, he could protect himself.

After converting the new internal energy into his own strength, Zhang Xuan did not continue to attack. He decided to come again next time.

“That’s all for today. I’ll look for you another day.”

Zhang Xuan looked at the pale-faced Wang Bo, and chuckled.

Wang Bo was no longer as calm as before. He looked at Zhang Xuan again with unconcealable fear in his eyes.

“Hero, I was wrong. As long as you let me go, I’ll agree to any condition.”

The completely panicked Wang Bo, begged Zhang Xuan with a trembling voice.

The unyielding attitude he had displayed earlier was not because he was truly unafraid of death. It was merely an act.

After all, he had been interrogated the entire night, which meant that Zhang Xuan wanted to find out more about the Imperial Court from him.

As long as he did not say anything, Zhang Xuan would at most torture him and not kill him before obtaining the information he wanted. This gave him a chance to escape.

However, Zhang Xuan directly devoured his internal energy and Wang Bo’s plans. Especially when Zhang Xuan did not care about his life and death, Wang Bo finally understood that Zhang Xuan was not very concerned about the Imperial Court’s movements.

He could endure the physical pain, but the devouring of his internal energy was even more unacceptable than killing him.

However, Zhang Xuan was unmoved by Wang Bo’s pleas. He left the dungeon and told the guards that no one was allowed to come into contact with Wang Bo.

This was a shortcut to increase one’s cultivation without using points. Zhang Xuan naturally had to take it seriously.

Looking at Zhang Xuan’s departing figure, Wang Bo’s eyes flashed with despair.

This was the first time in his life that he was afraid. In the past, no matter what danger he encountered, even if it was a life and death test, he had never been nervous.

However, facing Zhang Xuan, Wang Bo suddenly realized that he could not be as indifferent as before.

In the following month, Zhang Xuan would come to the dungeon almost every day to absorb the internal energy of Wang Bo and convert it into his own strength with cultivation techniques.

Wang Bo would beg for mercy every time. He even took the initiative to reveal some secrets about the Imperial Court and even offered to submit to Zhang Xuan, hoping that Zhang Xuan would let him off.

However, no matter what he said, Zhang Xuan was unmoved. When the internal energy was absorbed to a certain extent, Zhang Xuan took the initiative to stop. When the digestion was stabilized, he would continue to absorb it the next day.

In this month, Zhang Xuan’s internal energy had increased by a third.

As for Wang Bo, he committed suicide in extreme despair.

“How spineless. It’s only been a month and you can’t hold on anymore?”

Looking at Wang Bo who had committed suicide, Zhang Xuan sighed.

However, Zhang Xuan didn’t really care. Even if Wang Bo didn’t commit suicide, he didn’t have much internal energy left.

In the past month, the outside world had returned to its former peace.

Ever since the Imperial Court sent several Connate experts to attack the alliance’s Connate experts, they stopped targeting the alliance and became more peaceful.

Zhang Xuan was not surprised by this. After all, the Imperial Court was not a fool. They knew that the alliance was not easy to deal with, but if they continued to target the alliance, not only would they not be able to solve the problem, they might even cause the alliance to target the Imperial Court secretly. It would only make the Imperial Court more passive.

However, Zhang Xuan knew very well that the Imperial Court would not give up so easily. The current peace was only temporary. When the Imperial Court attacked the alliance again, it would definitely be a fatal blow.

The previous attack had also completely stabilized the Mount Song Sect’s position as the alliance leader.

After all, Zhang Xuan, who had captured a Connate expert from the Imperial Court, was an Elder of Mount Song Sect. His status was only below Yun Zhongtian.

The reason why the alliance could continue to fight against the Imperial Court was because Zhang Xuan’s battle had given all the alliance members confidence.

The strong had always respected the strong!

Now, no matter who mentioned Zhang Xuan, they would give him a thumbs up and praise him endlessly. This also caused Zhang Xuan’s status to rise.

It could be said that Zhang Xuan’s influence in the alliance was no less than that of Yun Zhongtian, the alliance leader. Even his status was not ordinary.

However, Zhang Xuan did not care about this at all. Just like before, he refined pills every day and asked about the herbs needed to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill. His days were very comfortable.
