The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Feng immediately walked towards the other chosen ones in the Chinese camp and said:

"I'll buy your cherry blossom branches with ghost coins, one thousand ghost coins per branch."

Some chosen ones found the cherry blossom branches eerie and, unwilling to keep them, immediately agreed to the trade.

Some believed that the cherry blossom branch might possess some kind of supernatural power that could save their lives in a critical moment, and refused to sell it. Xu Feng didn't press the matter and went straight to find the next person.

In just a few minutes, he bought a bunch of cherry blossom branches, which he held in his hands; they were heavy.

Qin Yu, Hikawa Tsunamoto, Mohanlar and others noticed Xu Feng's actions and cast puzzled glances at him.

Qin Yu frowned. He already disliked Xu Feng, and seeing him buying up cherry blossom branches in a big way only made him more dissatisfied. He wondered what this guy was up to now.

Hikawa Tsunamoto gently stroked the samurai sword in his hand. He couldn't quite understand Xu Feng's intentions. These branches clearly carried the power of a curse.

Why did Xu Feng acquire this thing?

Mohanlar looked disdainful, thinking that Xu Feng was just making a fuss.

Just as everyone was discussing, Hongxia finished eating all the cherry blossom branches that Xu Feng had given her. She clapped her hands and showed a satisfied expression.

Shirakami Yukihime stood not far away, her snow-white hair cascading down to her waist, her skin so white it was almost translucent. She watched Nijika's actions, a hint of hesitation flashing in her azure eyes.

She also sensed the power of the cherry blossom branch. After a moment's thought, she picked up the cherry blossom branch in her hand and put it in her mouth.

She channeled her demonic power to refine the strange energy within the cherry blossom branch, and after a moment, a look of joy appeared on her face.

She could clearly feel that her vitality had increased by 0.2 and her physique by 0.1. Although this increase was not extraordinary, it had indeed improved her strength.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding chosen ones immediately erupted in uproar.

Seeing that Nijika and Shirogane Yukihime had benefited from eating cherry blossom branches, some people immediately followed suit, picking up cherry blossom branches and stuffing them into their mouths.

However, he did not have Hongxia's special physique, nor the protection of Shirakami Yukihime's demonic power. After biting into the cherry blossom branch, he couldn't help but frown.

"That's strange, why don't I feel any changes in my body at all?"

A chosen one with a constitution of only 2 points muttered something, and as soon as he finished speaking, his face and arms were covered in bruises.

Suddenly, pale pink cherry blossoms began to grow wildly, their petals delicate yet carrying a deadly eeriness.

"Help me! Help me!" the man cried out in terror, frantically grabbing at the cherry blossoms on his face, but the cherry blossoms only multiplied and soon covered his entire body.

Even its eyes and mouth were stuffed with flower petals.

His screams grew weaker and weaker until he finally fell silent, turning into a dried-up corpse swallowed by cherry blossoms, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Everyone stood by and watched indifferently, and no one offered a helping hand.

Using a magical artifact will incur its side effects, while using a spiritual artifact will consume precious usage attempts in the upcoming national war instance.

Every card is crucial; no one is willing to sacrifice their trump card for a weak, complete stranger.

Watching this scene, Hikawa Tsunamoto turned to Matsushima Kaede beside him and asked:

"Matsushima-kun, what do you think?"

Matsushima Kaede, with his classic samurai hairstyle and resolute face, bowed respectfully and said:

"Lord Tsunamoto, I believe that some of these cherry blossom branches contain blessings that can enhance strength, while others contain curses that will devour life. That person was just unlucky and drew a cursed branch."

Hikawa Tsunamoto gently stroked the scabbard of his katana, a confident smile playing on his lips:

"Matsushima-kun, I don't think so."

"In my opinion, the power of this cherry blossom branch is only meant to be controlled by the strong. Only those who are strong enough can receive the blessing of the cherry blossom; the weak will only be devoured by it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed the cherry blossom branch in his hand into his mouth and began to gnaw on it in front of everyone.

His physique has 6 points, far exceeding that of ordinary people. The strange energy from the cherry blossom branch entered his body, carrying a slight corrosiveness, but his physique absorbed it all like a sponge.

A moment later, Nikawa Tsunamoto opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing across his face:

"Just as I thought! The strange energy in these cherry blossom branches, though corrosive, can enhance physical constitution and vitality; it's just that those with weak constitutions cannot withstand it."

He immediately gave the order:

"Anyone in the team with a constitution level below 3, hand over all the cherry blossom branches!"

"Hai!" The Sakura Empire's chosen ones immediately responded, handing over the cherry blossom branches they held.

Hikawa Tsunamoto took the cherry blossom branch and started biting into it without hesitation.

He was still relaxed on the second one.

The third one caused cold sweat to break out on my forehead. My body, which was at 6 o'clock, was already struggling to digest this energy.

He gritted his teeth and swallowed the fourth one, his whole body drenched in sweat, yet he couldn't hide the excitement on his face:

"Four cherry blossom branches have increased my physique by 0.4 and my vitality by 0.8. That's already the limit. If I eat any more, I'll probably end up like that person, being devoured by the cherry blossoms."

He looked at Matsushima Kaede and said:

"Matsushima-kun, your constitution should be able to handle two of them."

Without the slightest hesitation, Matsushima Kaede took the two cherry blossom branches and gnawed on them.

A moment later, he was also drenched in sweat, but he smiled and said:

"Thank you, Tsunamoto-sama! My physique and vitality have both improved!"

Qin Yu watched this scene, his hand holding the cherry blossom branch trembling slightly.

His physique only has 3 points, which is exactly the weakling line that Nikawa Tsunamoto mentioned.

He looked at the Chosen One, who had turned into a dried cherry blossom corpse, and then at the harvest of Hikawa Tsunamoto and Matsushima Kaede, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.

As the eldest son of the Qin family, he valued his life highly and dared not take this risk.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally put the cherry blossom branch away, not daring to try it.

Seeing this, Mohanlar scoffed disdainfully:

"Hmph! Coward!"

He is a Ganges River infected person with a physical condition of 8 points, indicating extremely strong vitality.

Even if one's head is cut off, it can be quickly restored by drinking the holy water of the Ganges and placing the head on the severed area.

He grabbed five cherry blossom branches, stuffed them directly into his mouth, and began to chew them vigorously.

After finishing his meal, a look of joy appeared on his face:

"It really worked! My constitution increased by 0.5, and my vitality increased by 1 point. I can eat some more!"

He grabbed five more cherry blossom branches, stuffed them into his mouth, and began to sweat as the strange energy began to erode him.

He immediately took out a water bottle, tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of Ganges holy water. As soon as the holy water entered his stomach, the corrosive energy was greatly weakened.

Mohanlar was overjoyed, thinking to himself that with the Ganges holy water, he could eat cherry blossom branches indefinitely.

He grabbed five more cherry blossom branches, but this time, after eating them, he experienced no improvement.

He frowned, only then realizing that the enhancement of the cherry blossom branches had reached its limit; ten branches were the upper limit.

Seeing this, the Four Warriors of Apocalypse followed suit, picking up cherry blossom branches and munching on them. They each had a constitution of 5 points and ate ten cherry blossom branches by drinking holy water.

The Korean chosen one, watching with envy, couldn't help but shout:

"Damn it! Your Ganges holy water is way too much! This is totally unfair!"
