Chapter 45: When It’s Full, It Naturally Overflows
After several days of reflection and insight. freewebnσvel.cøm
Xu Lingjun felt that the "Qiantian Gang Qi" had advanced to a certain point.
In fact, during the Talent Source, he had already deeply memorized the martial skill formula. Although it’s not fully mastered, the deep memory made him feel as if he had read its contents thousands or tens of thousands of times...
Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning naturally becomes clear.
Even if Xu Lingjun were as dumb as a pig, he would have gained some understanding of his own.
However, this martial skill is different from the Flame Killing Fist Skill. A mistake in execution could be fatal... So Xu Lingjun was very, very careful, even after gaining full confidence. He consulted Feng Zhichen for a long time and then carefully analyzed every detail.
Now.
"I can give it a try."
Although this martial skill is very damaging to the body, not trying it even once is unrealistic... You must understand that if you cannot correctly harness its power yourself, it might backfire when the time comes.
Consider fighting an enemy fiercely, both parties locked in mortal combat, only to use "Qiantian Gang Qi" at the critical moment and blow yourself to smithereens. The enemy might die laughing at the absurdity.
Anyway, I’ve prepared plenty of backup plans, and even if things go out of control, there won’t be any severe losses.
Xu Lingjun glanced at the twenty or so neatly arranged bottles of Blood Replenishing Oral Liquid on the table. Each bottle, enhanced by Talent Source, has efficacy comparable to high-quality Qi Blood Pills. After twenty bottles, even if I keep hemorrhaging, my Qi Blood should be replenished, right?
"Let’s begin."
Facing the mirror.
Xu Lingjun uttered a low shout, and the True Qi inside him, which was surging internally and externally, suddenly became turbulent. The full Qi Blood coursing through his veins stopped flowing freely and instead reversed, a fierce giant blade stabbing into the most crucial part of Xu Lingjun’s body.
The heart!!!
All the Qi Blood instantly filled the heart.
Then, when the blood surged out again, it was already a boiling red magma-like liquid.
The scorching blood immediately entwined with True Qi, then roamed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians...
The fair skin exuded a faint sanguine aura, making him appear like a Berserker activated with Blood Fury.
Blood and True Qi merge together.
True Qi inside increased far beyond doubling: the meridians, which previously accommodated True Qi freely, were suddenly squeezed by something twice the size of True Qi and forced to move within... This led to a swollen feeling.
More notably, a suppression hard to vent.
Yet simultaneously, Qi Blood kept evaporating.
Sensing the deficit within his body, the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, usually insatiably absorbing Qi Blood, began to feed back to Xu Lingjun, replenishing his loss.
This way.
The ever-improving Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, while deploying "Qiantian Gang Qi," would hardly yield any power advancement?
"Currently burning thirty percent of Qi Blood, the strength seems approximately doubled, but Qi Blood burns rapidly. For an ordinary person, it might burn out completely within a few breaths with potential fatal risk.
For me, though, it’s slightly different. The Qi Blood burning speed isn’t much faster than the speed at which Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique generates Qi Blood."
Xu Lingjun maintained the Qi Blood burning state and silently measured for a long time, eventually drawing a conclusion.
"Qiantian Gang Qi benefits me greatly; coupled with my unique physique, the thirty percent effectiveness is much stronger than a normal ten percent effectiveness... Oh, this martial skill seems crafted for those undertaking Body Refining.
So its compatibility with me is quite high.
He spat out a blood foam and slowly dispersed "Qiantian Gang Qi."
In only two hundred or so breaths.
He surprisingly felt slightly out of breath...
Indeed, "Qiantian Gang Qi" still takes a significant toll on the body; knowing his current strength may be modest, his stamina is so immense he could work tirelessly day and night without exhaustion.
No matter what... But now, I’m already breathless like an ox after just three minutes.
Moreover, this Qi Blood seems fuelled by adrenaline burning...
This means I might have to buy some Huiren Kidney Tonic to consume in the future.
Yes, with a strong kidney, naturally more adrenaline can be produced.
Currently thirty percent, maybe later it could enhance to forty or fifty percent, and sustain for four or five minutes... Eventually, maintaining a constant condition for an hour won’t be a problem.
Having obtained the data he wanted.
Xu Lingjun slowly retracted the burning "Qiantian Gang Qi," and the remaining True Qi reformed into residual blood swiftly replenished by the body, reabsorbed by the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.
The slightly pale face immediately returned to normal.
But the strength of True Qi didn’t seem to drop much.
It actually did decrease a bit, but my strength surprisingly improved again.
True Qi became much stronger than before deployment.
Even compared to the thirty percent blood burn, it barely weakened.
Is this... the Middle Stage of Qi Gathering?
Xu Lingjun felt quite amazed...
Already a breakthrough?
Remember, before Qi Gathering, nine years of Body Tempering refining the flesh, honing Qi Force bonding it within bones and flesh.
Upon reaching the Qi Gathering Realm, a strand of True Qi is cultivated from one’s Qi Force, which furthers all stored accumulation for nine years into True Qi.
The Third Layer of Qi Gathering Realm involves painstakingly refining all one’s Qi Force into True Qi.
But has my refining process been remarkably swift?
How many days has it been?
Could the "Qiantian Gang Qi," by burning Qi Blood into True Qi, greatly accelerate the conversion rate of my True Qi?
Or is it that Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, as a Divine Demon Level Technique, appears simplistic and therefore more potent?
In less than a month, repeatedly achieving a Triple Jump.
Xu Lingjun was thrilled, thinking that if true, whenever facing a bottleneck, I could directly use "Qiantian Gang Qi" to forcefully surpass the bottleneck, and the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique would stabilize my cultivation in this realm.
Would the bottleneck be skipped just so?
Could it be this easy...
But once thought through, Xu Lingjun understood it quickly.
If it weren’t for Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, I’d likely be drained now, breaking through a realm at the cost of life, so my breakthrough method isn’t practically shareable at all.
Even for me, it doesn’t come without side effects.
Xu Lingjun could clearly see crystal blood beads gradually seeping out from his pores, quickly soaking his clothes and turning him into a blood-soaked figure...
Hmm, I’ve ruined an outfit and also exhausted myself, looking quite frightful.
But merely appearing frightful.
In fact, Xu Lingjun can sense these blood beads, just barely seeping out from his body, soon forcefully absorbed back by the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique. This domineering Divine Demon Level Technique goes so far as not to even let the burnt waste blood escape.
"Seems I need to prepare a few more outfits from now on; otherwise, the moment I use ’Qiantian Gang Qi’, I’ll just become a walking blood figure—what if I scare people then?"
Especially since those girls always like to snuggle near me, even though I have absolutely no interest in them, startling Sister Yaya, though...
"Aaaah~~~!!!"
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
A stunned scream resounded from outside the bathroom.
With the door not closed, Wang Qingya was now standing at the entrance, stunned, looking at Xu Lingjun covered in blood, appearing as if he just returned from a murder scene, resembling a killer.
No, more accurately, like a corpse from a murder scene.
"Sister Yaya, I’m alright, this is just normal cultivation, um... My Qi Blood is too vigorous, naturally overflowing after being filled, Sister Yaya, you are a woman, you should know better than me..."
Xu Lingjun’s words were barely halfway through.
Wang Qingya already rushed forward, quickly tearing off Xu Lingjun’s clothes, exclaiming, "Where’s the wound, where’s the wound? How come so much blood flowed, quickly stop the bleeding... No, medicine... I need to prepare the medicine first... Xiaojun, wait a moment..."
After speaking, she rushed out like the wind.
Xu Lingjun sighed lightly, "It’s really just overflow after all."
But it seems Sister Yaya isn’t planning to accept my explanation.
