A day had passed inside Zheng-Fu's room...
Phew!!!
“The third stance of the Devil-Conquering Palm Technique really consumes a lot of energy. Plus, it's full of disadvantages as well. Ouch! My back, legs, arms, and every part of me is in pain… Huh... If it's not really that close, I won't use it again until I can perfect it!” Zheng-Fu grumbled wearily after he had spent most of the day restoring the body to its original state.
The use of the incomplete third stance of the Devil-Conquering Palm Technique caused his energy to attack him back. Zheng-Fu had to rush back to his room to restore his energy and body. Using it in this battle was a big gamble for him.
If that failed, the one who would die might be him instead of the elder, because less than five minutes after the stance was released, his body became paralyzed, part by part. If he did not rush to restore or treat these symptoms, he would immediately become a physically deformed person.
