Chapter 315: Chapter 192: The Fourth Battle Group, Abundant in Water Buckets!
Qin Shi’s spirit was trembling!
Condensing the Holy Embryo Prototype, combined with the divine pillar “Taiyi,” granted him the “Order” characteristic, sufficient to make him immune to most spiritual shocks!
But when Old Liang was illuminated, the image of the brass giant, whose power was unparalleled, was revealed.
Qin Shi’s ears buzzed, exploding with a roar, his Sea of Consciousness nearly collapsing.
It felt like a red-hot iron stake piercing through his skull, straight into his brain!
The sudden intense pain made his body shake, knocking against the coal stove and overturning the medicine boiling pot onto the ground.
The clattering sound startled Old Liang, who was consuming half a Blood Flower. His pupils contracted instantly, triggering a physical instinct!
Qin Shi vaguely heard the sound of dragging chains. Through his shaking vision, he saw Old Liang’s skin fill with blood, turning crimson, and soon black lines rapidly spread, weaving into a pattern, like a closing flower bud, concealing the anomaly within his body.
The brass giant reflected in his mind gradually blurred and then disappeared completely.
“I almost forgot, during your youth, your unity of spirit and body. Life force surged, and the spirit naturally progressed.”
Old Liang’s eyes flashed remorse and he said with lingering fear:
“In the future, never use ‘Spiritual Vision’ to observe me. Remember!”
For the first time, Qin Shi saw Old Liang being so solemn, even using a warning tone.
“Understood, Master Liang. How is the effect of the Blood Flower?”
He didn’t pry further; everyone has their own secrets.
Old Liang, a young man who ventured into Jing Province’s Martial Arts World, earnestly studied under a master, and joined the battle group, earning achievements, was indeed an extraordinary figure.
To have fallen to become a physical education teacher at Heng Province’s Old Factory Street students’ school, there must be a story behind it.
Recalling past glories for the disheartened is akin to tearing open a wound.
“It’s quite good; I’ll need about seven to fifteen days to digest.”
Old Liang’s wrinkles relaxed. For a strong person, enduring the near “omnipotence” of a powerful physique that deteriorates day by day traps the originally resolute spirit in a fragile body, a profound torment indeed.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many specialized levels who ultimately willingly crawl under the Pillar of Chaos, serving as its minions.
Survival and power are instincts in every life form.
Even a Martial God is no exception.
Hearing Old Liang’s words, Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it worked. Check latest chapters at NoveIＦire.net
Restoring the full strength was another matter; healing that crippled leg would mean it wasn’t all for naught.
Old Liang’s face became ruddy, smiling warmly:
“In my youth, I basked in the glory of our masters and elders. Now in old age, I still bask in my disciple’s glory. Heaven hasn’t treated me poorly in this life. Come here, I have something to tell you.”
The squatting master and disciple stood up. Qin Shi swept the shattered pot into the dustpan before sitting in front of Old Liang.
“I wanted to pass this on to you earlier. You might know a little; I served in the Fourth Battle Group in the past, and did quite well.”
Old Liang, after consuming half a Blood Flower, seemed like a fifty-year-old man who had taken powerful supplements, invigorated and speaking with vigor.
“Hundred Forms Refining Stance is Hong Sheng’s true inheritor. My master’s master said it’s a late-stage cultivation technique. The better the talent, the higher the level, the more power it can unleash.
I’m single-minded, practicing one or two Heart Stances for decades. After joining the battle group, I happened to learn the ‘Warfare Strategy,’ which complemented my shortcomings.”
Thinking about Old Liang’s background and achievements, Qin Shi couldn’t help but grin.
His master was overly humble. If it weren’t for some unknown major mistake,
Old Liang might’ve been a senior officer with the Golden Corn Shoulder Badge!
“Warfare Strategy was created by Marshal Qin. It’s the basic textbook for military personnel, especially in the Fourth Battle Group, almost everyone knows it.”
“Its content is simple: continuously circulate life force, forming a ‘Qi Vortex’ within, covering various parts of the mortal body for nourishment and consumption.”
As Old Liang spoke and demonstrated, after absorbing half a Blood Flower, his physical condition improved significantly, no longer enduring huge burdens like before.
Qin Shi carefully sensed it; with Old Liang’s activation of the Warfare Strategy, all parts of his body lit up like stars, emitting a soft blood-red glow. Each fist-sized Qi Vortex gradually started, absorbing surrounding energy particles.
The room’s atmosphere stirred, vibrating!
Unfortunately, the urban space was too stable, the scattered energy particles too thin to provide an ideal cultivation environment for Old Liang.
Qin Shi counted. Old Liang had opened up sixty-two Qi Vortexes, covering the torso and limbs.
With each breath, the boiling life force would link many Qi Vortexes like a thread, achieving a grand unity of the body.
“However, this technique seems off!”
Sitting opposite Old Liang, Qin Shi felt the Warfare Strategy was like the energy furnace of a battleship, brutally extracting the blood and flesh of the mortal body, even feeling a reckless disregard for life!
The body seemed like a rich oil field, continuously exploited, wantonly extracting threads of blood and Qi from the muscles and skin!
“Your thoughts are correct. The creator of Warfare Strategy, Marshal Qin, considered everything. Most people’s aptitude couldn’t adapt to powerful inheritances.”
Old Liang opened his eyes and said slowly:
“So He Lanchan’s Void Meditation Technique waited long for an inheritor like you. The lower the threshold, the higher the popularity, which inevitably means it can’t offer other things, like faster cultivation speed, more efficient energy transformation…”
