This was a considerable gain for Chen Feng.
After all, up to this point, Chen Feng did not have a single weapon that suited him well.
The Tianqi Holy Pearl was too attractive and could easily evoke envy. With Chen Feng’s current strength, he dared not use it openly in front of the crowd.
And the Soul Suppressing Coffin could not be considered a weapon.
It served as Chen Feng’s trump card, to be used in a surprise attack when his opponents were unprepared, to achieve the greatest effect.
Thus, with this iron staff, Chen Feng now had a weapon that suited him well.
Although it was of a somewhat low grade, it was barely serviceable.
Chen Feng carefully examined the iron staff and discovered that, right in the center, three traditional characters were engraved—Fire Cloud Stick!
Presumably, that was the name of this weapon.
And from the name, it seemed to be a Fire Element weapon!
Chen Feng tried to channel some of his Fire Element True Qi into the Fire Cloud Stick and, sure enough, the stick immediately reacted, emitting a faint firelight along its entire length.
This flash of joy sparkled in Chen Feng’s eyes.
First a Fire Element Martial Arts Technique, "Fire Thunder Fist Technique," and now he had acquired a Fire Element weapon, the Fire Cloud Stick.
Under the same Fire Element theme, they could complement each other!
This would allow his Combat Power to step up to another level.
It had to be said, this was indeed a fruitful harvest!
Chen Feng was already eager for the other contestants to come looking for him.
They were practically a group of Money Boys!
With this thought, Chen Feng’s lips curled into a slight smirk. He then gathered up his belongings and swiftly dove into a hidden cave.
Before the official hunt began, he wanted to completely master the Fire Thunder Fist Technique...
During the time Chen Feng devoured himself to cultivation, the battles across Snow Lotus Mountain became increasingly fierce.
By now, nearly half of the participants had been eliminated.
Those that remained all possessed substantial strength; otherwise, they would not have been able to hold on until now.
Naturally, the most dazzling records belonged to Su Can, Tang Long, and Ming Yan.
Each of them had already collected over twenty Heavenly Mountain Tokens.
Following closely were a few cultivators who had reached Xuan Rank Perfection, each holding more than ten Heavenly Mountain Tokens.
The Snow Lotus Conference had entered a state of intense competition.
The audience watched the three screens before them without blinking.
As more participants were eliminated, the crowd’s interest in the battle situation grew even more intense.
Of course, the two lists beside the screens were the most indicative of the contestants’ current strength and battle conditions.
On these two lists, the audience could clearly see the number of Heavenly Mountain Tokens each contestant held, as well as their rankings.
"Wow, Su Can from the Leisurely Sect is really fierce; he has already plundered twenty-five Heavenly Mountain Tokens and ranks first! At this rate, the championship is truly secured!"
"Yeah, a genius is truly a genius, but look at Tang Long and Ming Yan, the number of tokens they hold is close behind Su Can. It seems like the top three spots will probably be taken by them!"
"What do you mean ’probably’? Definitely, that’s what! Who do you think can contend with those three now?"
"Exactly, the ones who could fight those three are practically nonexistent. We’re just waiting for the ultimate showdown between them, to see who will ultimately claim the championship!"
People were excitedly discussing the rankings.
Just then, someone inadvertently glanced at the very bottom of the list.
There, a name was inscribed.
That person was none other than Chen Feng!
Chen Feng: Ranked at the bottom with four Heavenly Mountain Tokens!
Many who saw this scene flashed a hint of contempt in their eyes.
"This Chen Feng, he’s the one sent by the Dragon Teeth faction to compete, right?"
"It seems so, but how is he so weak? He only has four Heavenly Mountain Tokens until now? The others at least have six or seven!"
"How could Dragon Teeth send such a weak participant to the Snow Lotus Conference? It’s disgraceful. No wonder Dragon Teeth didn’t send a delegation to watch the battle. It’s too embarrassing!"
"I remember a few hours ago, he had only four tokens. There has been no change for such a long time; I guess he has given up on himself!"
"Hahaha, I bet he’s hiding like a turtle in its shell right now!"
Everyone joined in the conversation, their words filled with disdain and mockery.
However, their attention soon returned to Su Can and the others.
Because in their eyes, Chen Feng was just a joke, worth nothing more than a laugh and not deserving of any further attention...
Inside a cave on Snow Lotus Mountain,
Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes.
After several hours of closed-door cultivation, he had almost mastered the Fire Thunder Fist Technique.
Compared to the Black Dragon Technique, the Fire Thunder Fist Technique was clearly much simpler.
Furthermore, since it was a technique from his own element, Chen Feng found cultivation much more natural than the Black Dragon Technique.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Chen Feng stood up, looked towards the cave entrance, narrowed his eyes, and said with a light smile, "The pigs are almost fattened up; it’s time for the slaughter!"
The "pigs" Chen Feng referred to were the other cultivators.
During this period, Chen Feng stayed out of cultivation on purpose to let them fight and snatch each other’s Heavenly Mountain Tokens.
Barring any accidents, now anyone who could still remain on the battlefield would have at least five or more Heavenly Mountain Tokens in their possession.
In this case, Chen Feng only needed to rob them, which would be much more efficient and effortless.
He wouldn’t have to defeat one opponent after another, gaining only one token and wasting strength as he had done at the beginning.
Now, with any defeat, Chen Feng could acquire several tokens.
This efficiency was incomparable to before!
After dusting off the snow from his clothes, Chen Feng prepared to leave the cave.
And at that moment, Chen Feng felt a strange sensation coming from his trouser pocket.
That was where his Heavenly Mountain Token resided.
Chen Feng quickly pulled the Heavenly Mountain Token out of his pocket and held it in his hand.
This particular token was his own; he had stored the others in his Space Ring.
At this moment, however, his Heavenly Mountain Token was constantly blinking with blue light, and it trembled incessantly.
Seeing this, Chen Feng frowned.
As Chen Feng puzzled over this, a flash of blue light appeared, and a mini holographic screen emerged above the Heavenly Mountain Token.
The screen displayed a simple message: "Starting now, participants holding ten or more tokens will have their exact locations displayed on the public map, which can be viewed with everyone’s respective Heavenly Mountain Token."
After reading this message, Chen Feng was completely stunned...
