Am I here to be your dog

The Sunflower Manual is undoubtedly powerful, but its physiological and psychological flaws are equally fatal.

What makes the Sunflower Manual truly terrifying is its ability to enable rapid mastery.

The progress in cultivating one's vital energy and blood is incredibly fast.

However, the drawbacks are just as severe.

For those whose willpower isn’t strong, practicing this technique after self-castration can have disastrous consequences.

Not only are they unable to vent certain desires within their hearts,

but their minds also tend to twist into perversions,

turning them into extreme and dangerous individuals.

Zhang Bowen is nothing short of a walking disaster.

Chen Feng had faced Zhang Bowen head-on twice.

He still vividly remembers Zhang Bowen’s unnerving, sinister aura.

No one knows what Zhang Bowen might do next.

Chen Feng casually remarked:

“Since Zhang Bowen has shared his techniques and raised the martial arts level across the Western Continent,

why don’t we learn from him and pass some advanced techniques on to Great Xia’s warriors?”

“Wouldn’t that strengthen Great Xia’s overall power?”

Li Kong sighed heavily but remained silent.

Wang Hao then said,

“The Martial Arts Guild tried something similar.

They promoted the Wang family’s Tai Chi for nationwide practice.

But the results were minimal; Tai Chi demands high comprehension, and most people struggle to achieve mastery.”

“As for other martial arts techniques from noble families, there’s no way they’d share those.”

Li Kong snorted angrily,

“It’s not just that they’re unwilling to share.

Now, they’re even willing to start a war with Zhang Bowen over this.”

At this moment, Wang Hao looked at Chen Feng and said,

“You know so many powerful martial arts techniques. Why not share one for ordinary martial artists to practice?”

From his perspective, with Chen Feng’s level of enlightenment, he shouldn’t refuse such a suggestion.

But Chen Feng only sighed and replied,

“I want to share, but it’s useless.

My martial arts techniques are extremely specialized; it’s no longer a matter of comprehension.”

“That’s also why I have so few disciples.”

“Besides, my ‘Dragon Subduing Palm’ was once exposed online. Do you see anyone who actually mastered it?”

Hearing Chen Feng say this,

they all recalled when Chen Feng had gone viral online.

During that time, a top-tier palm technique had taken the internet by storm.

In the end, everyone suspected it was a fake.

Almost no one managed to get past the basics.

Wang Hao asked,

“Was the palm technique exposed back then genuine?”

“To be honest, I tried it out of boredom, but I couldn’t unleash even a shred of its power.”

Li Kong, as the former Guild Master, naturally knew about this incident.

Chen Feng’s technique, which could manifest a golden dragon martial spirit, had been all the rage online for quite a while.

The Martial Arts Guild had paid close attention.

But no one succeeded in mastering it.

At this point, Chen Feng thought of the martial arts stele forest in Kunlun Mountain.

He asked again,

“If I could retrieve the techniques of the Eight Great Clans, could I pass them on?”

Wang Hao’s eyes widened in surprise. After a moment’s thought, he said nothing and instead looked toward Li Kong.

As the former Guild Master,

Li Kong held the most authority on such matters.

Besides, he himself was from the Li family.

Without noble lineage, one couldn’t become the Guild Master.

Li Kong shook his head helplessly and said,

“Your idea is too naive.

Even I wouldn’t dare casually share my family’s martial arts techniques.

These techniques are the very foundation that allows noble families to stand above others.”

“If you dare to recklessly spread their martial arts techniques, it will be a grudge that won’t die until one of us does.”

“That’s exactly why they were willing to remove me from my position and go to war with Zhang Bowen.”

After hearing Li Kong’s words, the three of them fell silent.

In the end, Chen Feng still couldn’t let it go and said,

“What about the high-level techniques from the other eight great clans?”

Li Kong and Wang Hao both looked at Chen Feng in shock.

“You have other Heavenly-level techniques you can teach others?”

Chen Feng shook his head.

“No, I don’t. But I know where to find them.”

Li Kong was stunned once again as he looked at Chen Feng.

Suddenly, a place came to mind.

Inside the Martial Arts Guild, there were top-secret records about Kunlun Mountain.

Three hundred years ago, Kunlun was founded.

Someone from the Zhang family accidentally stumbled upon a mysterious place.

It was said to be a forest of stone tablets engraved with countless martial arts techniques.

They supposedly contained numerous techniques.

But they were guarded by the Kunlun descendants, forbidding outsiders from stealing them.

These secret materials were strictly confidential.

Only a select few senior members of the Martial Arts Guild had the privilege to view them.

Especially the records about the war with the Kunlun descendants three centuries ago—those were utterly classified.

No one below the Martial Saint-level high command of the Martial Arts Guild was allowed to access them.

Not even Li Kong had seen them.

Li Kong looked at Chen Feng and said,

“As long as it’s not the time-honored techniques of the eight great clans, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

“If you can get your hands on them, I’ll gather a few old friends to hold the fort.”

“I’m not afraid of any financial powers or factions outside the eight great clans.”

Chen Feng nodded.

“I’ll do my best, but I can’t promise success.”

He secretly made a note of this in his heart.

He decided that the next time he entered Kunlun Mountain, he would ask Qianqian about it.

If it didn’t work out, he wouldn’t force it.

After all, he couldn’t risk his disciples making enemies with the Ancient Clan just for the sake of Great Xia.

……

Western Continent.

The newly appointed governor glared fiercely at the man before him.

“Zhang! What exactly is your goal?”

“You’ve turned the entire Western Continent into chaos.”

“First, you taught a devouring technique—do you know how many people died because of it?”

“Now you’ve passed on a self-destructive technique—do you realize how many perverts have appeared?”

Others in the meeting room also stared at Zhang Bowen with displeasure.

The chaos in the Western Continent was unprecedented.

Almost daily, bodies were found dead on street corners.

There were all kinds of lunatics with extreme, twisted fetishes.

Each was powerful and incredibly fast.

The situation had already sparked widespread panic.

Zhang Bowen smiled cheerfully and said,

“Those are truly advanced techniques.”

“Aren’t those exactly what you wanted?”

Zhang Bowen’s indifferent attitude completely infuriated the governor of the Western Continent.

In anger, he grabbed Zhang Bowen by the collar.

Shouting loudly,

“We want the Six Veins Divine Sword! The Nine Yang Divine Skill! The Vajra Invulnerability Technique!”

“Not this trash you’ve given us!”

“As governor, I order you!”

“Right now! Immediately! Teach the other high-level techniques of Great Xia!”

“I can’t let the martial artists of the Western Continent continue practicing those twisted, poisonous dark arts.”

No sooner had the governor finished speaking than he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Everyone in the meeting room was shocked and stood up.

The atmosphere instantly tightened to its breaking point.

“Zhang Bowen! What are you doing?”

“Are you trying to start a war with us?”

“How dare you make a move right in front of us? Do you think we’re nothing to you?”

“If you even think about killing the Governor, we’ll make sure you don’t leave here alive today.”

…

The oppressive aura of sixteen Martial Saints erupted simultaneously in the room, and the glass of the conference hall shattered instantly under the immense pressure.

Cracking and breaking everywhere!

The Governor of the Western Continent lowered his head in disbelief.

Zhang Bowen’s entire right hand was plunged deep into his chest.

The governor’s heart throbbed wildly, gripped tightly in Zhang Bowen’s palm.

With just a little force, he could easily crush the heart to pieces.

Yet Zhang Bowen’s face was fixed in an eternal smile.

Grinning cheerfully, he looked at the Governor and asked,

“Do you really think I’m here to be your dog?”
