Divine Seed?

After being beaten to death for the 399th time, Bai Qi opened his eyes, feeling the physical pain of his body being shattered and dispersed.

But to him at this moment, it was like a gentle breeze, creating no ripples in his Heart Lake.

"At the Second Training Level, I've merely entered the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Prison-Suppression Skill, equating to crossing a barrier and forcibly grasping the true skill only used at the Third Training Level.

This Daoist Register is indeed effective!"

Bai Qi rubbed the Dragon Elephant Jade on his wrist, and the form of Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng suddenly collapsed, while the True Skill Root Diagram floating above also fell.

He returned the golden scroll to the iron box, sitting cross-legged in the gigantic Ancestor Hall, closing his eyes with a serene expression.

The ink register in his mind suddenly unfolded, transforming into an immensely thick Celestial Curtain, with towering trees emerging on both sides.

[Skill: Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Prison-Suppression Skill (Beginner)]

[Progress: 1/800]

[Effect: Guide Qi to summon spirit, form spirit into image]

...

[Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power (First Tier Divine Seed)]

[Progress: 1/800]

[Effect: Ox demons trap enemies in mud, tiger demons temper bones and drive one wild]

"The end of the skill is the Divine Seed! Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power, I wonder what's special about it..."

Just as Bai Qi thought this, his body began to tremble violently, his spinal dragon shaking uncontrollably, as if red-hot steel needles were piercing into his flesh, muscles and bones being reshuffled, veins being pulled.

This was an almost eviscerating pain!

Nine Oxen and Two Tigers!

In the midst of consolidation!

Within the sturdy flesh, it felt like ox demon roars and tiger demon howls!

Massive as mountain ranges, the nine powerful ox demons and the two extremely savage tiger demons suddenly transformed into clear shadows, filling his flesh and blood.

Like being nurtured from within, gradually growing stronger.

"It feels like my body is being hollowed out..."

Gritting his teeth to endure, Bai Qi's tolerance has far exceeded the norm, having been killed by the ancestral master so many times.

With the grinding ache of his bones, it was like endless thunder rolling.

Hundreds of thousands of pores slowly opened, threads of blood qi diffusing.

Then condensed under scorching heat, forming sheets of peeling dead skin.

On the giant tree, full of profound veined fruits hung, yielding the Divine Seed Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power!

This entity was absorbing vitality essence, subtly refining his physique.

But this transformation was extremely fierce, qi and blood boiling as if cooked.

His internal organs felt like they were on fire, uncomfortable beyond measure.

Bai Qi's flesh seemed to transform into a furnace unable to vent and exhaust.

Scorching air was tightly trapped in his chest, heart pumping like a drum, almost ready to explode!

"Unknowingly, I've exchanged blood again! Eight blood exchanges now!"

Bai Qi focused entirely, practicing the Meditation Visualization of the Flood Dragon Subdues Yellow Springs Scripture.

His mind concentrated, undisturbed, enough to disrupt one's sanity; the agony of being flayed and having bones pulled couldn't shake him at all.

In the vast Heart Lake, fierce evil flood dragons stirred up waves, all being slain.

No matter how the muscles and flesh coiled and beat wildly.

Bai Qi remained unmoved.

No idea how much time passed, as there were no day or night in the Ancestor Hall.

He ultimately subdued the rebellious Nine Oxen and Two Tigers, completely mastering this terrifying power!

Crash, crash, crash!

Bai Qi's eyes shone brightly, like twin flames rising, muscles and bones lightly stretching, as if drawing a strong bow, forming a full moon, then suddenly releasing, causing the empty hall to buzz, stirring layers of visible ripples in the air.

"No longer human!"

He felt he was approaching Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng, gaining the Divine Seed [Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power] as if breaking the limit of human strength, his power endlessly climbing.

His instincts operated, turning all received information into a singular term—fragility!

The ground beneath his feet, the sturdy copper pillars, even… the previous shadow of Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng.

All seemed to be easily crushed, shattered!

"The current me, terrifyingly strong!"

Confidence surged within Bai Qi, thinking of being killed three hundred ninety-nine times by Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng, he couldn't help but emit a "hehehehe" strange laugh:

"Eight blood exchanges! Power increased frantically, surged wildly, shot explosively! Even surpassing Second Training Great Perfection! Who in the same realm can be my opponent!"

He stood up, took a deep breath, every inch of flesh compressing and writhing, pushing his sturdy frame to be taller and more mighty.

Rubbing the Dragon Elephant Jade on his wrist, the previously folded True Skill Root Diagram suddenly shook, unfolded, mystically linking to the hanging portrait in the Ancestor Hall, once again coalescing the shadow of Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng.

"Sorry, Seventh Generation Ancestor!"

Bai Qi clenched his five fingers into a fist, Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power surging fiercely, great muscles writhing like snakes, skin turning green-black, unleashing unmatched overwhelming force, as if to turn the entire hall upside down!

Invisible waves of air swept, like a hurricane, striking the newly formed Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng!

"My current physique, almost unable to withstand the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power!"

Boom!

Qi and blood surged like flames, forming a turbulent punch like a river, imbued with tremendous force, brutally striking Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng!

More precisely, striking Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng's palm!

"Ah?"

Bai Qi froze, eyes full of disbelief.

How was it caught?

Roar!

Like a human dragon, the ancestral master's hair and beard stood, formidable features, his eyes like burning red embers.

He calmly looked at Bai Qi, with tensing muscles and skin violently bouncing, this younger disciple.

Within the shadow, there seemed to be a mocking smile.

Crack!

Palm twisting forcefully!

Bai Qi's arm, tougher than Hundred-refined Steel, instantly turned into a twist!

White bone shards pierced the skin, thick lively red blood gushed like a spring!

Then his vision blacked out!

His great head was blown apart once again!

[You have joyfully achieved your 400th death, your understanding of "Furnace's Hundred Faces" further advanced]

The ink register lightly shook, silently flashing a line of prose.

"Mistake, retry! How did I face the Third Training Great Success of the ancestral master, no wonder I was killed again!"

Bai Qi rubbed the Dragon Elephant Jade, quickly adjusting his qi and blood level and battle power intensity.

As he expected, he finally escaped the miserable fate of being killed by Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng in just a few moves.

Crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash—

Bai Qi raised his arms, blocking twenty punches!

His entire muscle and bones cracked like being scattered!

But ultimately held firm!

"Fantastic!"

Bai Qi felt immensely refreshed, incredibly comfortable.

Mastering Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power, he was finally able to contend with Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng at the same level, evenly matched.

The hundredth punch!

Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng's Furnace's Hundred Faces seemed pushed to the extreme, accompanied by thunderous roars, the towering power of the punch seemed to hold the sun, infinite light and heat suddenly burst, radiating scorching brilliance!

[You earned your 401st death, gaining the refined essence of "Furnace's Hundred Faces"]

"The true skill is too fierce, even with the Divine Seed of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power, it can only withstand a hundred punches."

Bai Qi exhaled slowly, estimating the hour, he only had the last Half a Stick of Incense to contemplate martial arts in the Ancestor Hall.

Pressing down the thought of challenging Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng again, his eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Speaking of which, Master is also qualified to enter the Ancestor Hall, ranked fifth, not much inferior to Ancestral Master Kang Longsheng.

Can I summon Master's shadow?"

Bai Qi rubbed the Dragon Elephant Jade, received the affirmative answer, and his thoughts shifted, pondering:

"What age should I summon Master to fight? Time is short, let's start with a lower level!

Ten-year-old Ninghai Zen! Punch and kill with one hand!"
