I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 64 - 59: New Martial Arts
Bai Hao mentioned that Corpse Ghosts have skin, Vengeful Ghosts have souls, and creatures like plant spirits can be proved by removing specific parts.
The woman cut in half, along with her nerve-connected heart, was the proof Qin Yuesheng planned to take back.
After placing the woman on the ground, Qin Yuesheng immediately turned towards the pit, with all the spiders in close pursuit, which, if allowed to emerge, would undoubtedly bring disaster.
Qin Yuesheng held the saber, staring intently at the pit, already prepared for a bloody battle.
When the first spider emerged, Qin Yuesheng immediately slashed out, slicing it in two.
The second, third, fourth...
For a while, Qin Yuesheng seemed like a gatekeeper blocking the pit’s entrance, with no spider able to breach his blockade, displaying the courage of holding one’s ground against overwhelming numbers.
However, no matter how fast True Qi replenished, there came a time when it was exhausted, and without the aid of saber aura, Qin Yuesheng’s speed in killing slowed, feeling significantly increased pressure.
A spider tried to bypass Qin Yuesheng from the left, with no intention of attacking, but instead trying to flee, which he could not allow.
Qin Yuesheng grabbed one of its legs like a mace, swinging it furiously.
This mindless action led Qin Yuesheng to discover a quicker method than using the Evil-Subduing Saber.
When two spiders collided, one was sure to have its limbs fractured, significantly increasing Qin Yuesheng’s efficiency in killing.
Once the spider in hand was crushed to pieces, Qin Yuesheng promptly grabbed another, creating a blockade with no escapees.
Qin Yuesheng grew more adept, holding one in each hand, smashing them together like dual maces, as juice and shells flew, resounding loudly.
After what seemed like an eternity, as the dust settled, there were no living spiders in front of Qin Yuesheng anymore.
"Huff... huff..."
Despite possessing Outer Forging strength, Qin Yuesheng was panting heavily, his arms notably fatigued and sore.
No idea how many swings or spiders crushed, Qin Yuesheng’s stamina had reached its limit.
Dropping the spider legs from his grasp, Qin Yuesheng immediately sat to the ground.
A mountain of spider remains piled within the pit, clogging the entire opening.
Ignoring the chance to admire his work, Qin Yuesheng quickly sat cross-legged, earnestly channeling his restorative cultivation technique to regain strength.
Suddenly, Qin Yuesheng felt heat at his back, as if someone pressed a hot potato against his waist.
Alarmed, Qin Yuesheng turned and saw nothing. It was only upon looking down that he found the heat emanating from his waist pouch made from Celestial Demon Hide.
This pouch was for carrying significant items, yet currently only housed the Celestial Demon Heart.
Picking up the pouch, Qin Yuesheng noticed the opening had somehow loosened, with considerable amounts of spider blood seeping inside.
Under sunlight, the Celestial Demon Heart gleamed alluringly with emerald fluorescence.
"What is this?" Lifting the Celestial Demon Heart, it instantly began melting in his hand like an emerald.
An enticing fragrance emanated from within, revealing the Celestial Demon Heart’s contents.
It was a red liquid.
The scent was overwhelmingly enticing.
Like the high sensation in a trance, Qin Yuesheng found the liquid from within the Celestial Demon Heart overwhelmingly aromatic.
The outer shell dissolved swiftly, poised to spill those juices soon.
Qin Yuesheng’s spirit was entranced; should he access his super auxiliary, it would show a rapid decline in his spiritual value.
Swiftly dropping from 15.0 to 13.0, the decline persisted.
Slurp!
Eyes glazed, Qin Yuesheng lost consciousness, suddenly gulping the juices, swallowing them in one go.
All-Purpose Essence +5000
Suddenly, Qin Yuesheng’s mind cleared, staring in disbelief at the disappeared Celestial Demon Heart in his hand, feeling a shiver of anxiety.
Who would have imagined the liquid inside the Celestial Demon Heart possessed such potent allure, swaying his 15.0 Spiritual Power.
Had his fortune not held, if it had been toxic, Qin Yuesheng would have faced dire consequences.
Opening the super auxiliary device, although Qin Yuesheng gained 5000 points of All-Purpose Essence, his spirit dropped to 7.0. Not exchanging one for the other made Qin Yuesheng feel like he wasn’t losing out, but on the contrary, he was profiting greatly.
"I never expected that the heart marrow inside the Celestial Demon Heart could also bring me All-Purpose Essence. Could it be that besides medicinal herbs, other things can also provide All-Purpose Essence when consumed?"
Unintentionally, Qin Yuesheng felt as though he had discovered a new breakthrough.
After resting for a while until his body regained some strength, Qin Yuesheng stood up, lifted the woman’s body, and left the place.
When the villagers of Pengqiao Village saw Qin Yuesheng returning with a woman’s corpse, they were all shocked and wondered how Qin Yuesheng could have killed someone while he was out.
"This witch is the culprit behind the spider trouble in your village this time. Now that I’ve helped you resolve this issue, I trust that there won’t be any more spiders invading your village and harming people in the future."
Under Qin Yuesheng’s explanation, the villagers finally relaxed.
He asked them for a clean sack, and Qin Yuesheng stuffed the woman directly into it. Although he came here on a mission from Bai Hao to handle the problem, these things certainly couldn’t be seen by too many people, putting it into a sack made it convenient to bring back to Cyan Yang City for the report.
"Young Master Qin, why don’t you stay another night? The villagers are still a bit anxious, and if nothing happens tonight, we can be much more at ease."
Seeing Qin Yuesheng about to leave, Village Chief Peng immediately spoke to keep him.
Qin Yuesheng thought for a moment and decided to agree.
Might as well spend the night in Pengqiao Village to see if all the spiders had truly been eradicated, as expected.
The spider corpses and the wounded villagers had been removed from the village hall by Village Chief Peng, and the area cleaned, now looking good as new.
Qin Yuesheng picked a random chair, sat down, and began to squander the massive sum of All-Purpose Essence he had just obtained.
The multitude of martial arts he had always been a headache for Qin Yuesheng, but due to the insufficient All-Purpose Essence, he had no way to organize all the martial arts he learned.
But now it’s fine, 5000 points of All-Purpose Essence is more than enough for him to use freely.
"I have two lightweight skills: Ma Ta Feiyan and Ta Xue Wu Hen, these need to be fused, and the Tiger Crane Double Form Fist is ultimately too common, making it easy for high-level experts to crack. So, let’s merge it with Plum Blossom Eight Trigram Palm.
Sea One Slash will then merge with the Mountain-Opening Blade Skill derived from Li Kuiran."
With the reduction of 2500 points of All-Purpose Essence, six martial arts in Qin Yuesheng’s skill column instantly disappeared, and were replaced with three new martial arts.
Spiritual Swallow Body Skill (0/25) Beginner
Tiger Crane Plum Blossom Hand (0/25) Beginner
Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber (0/25) Beginner
Spiritual Swallow Body Skill, incorporates Ma Ta Feiyan’s long-distance sprint and Ta Xue Wu Hen’s light and nimble nature, truly complementing each skill’s original shortcomings after fusion, greatly enhancing practicality.
Tiger Crane Plum Blossom Hand is a fusion of fist and palm techniques, featuring the original tiger form’s ferocity and crane form’s villainy, now also incorporating Eight Trigram Palm’s control and force relief, its power clearly stepping up a level.
Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber is an extended saber skill based on the Mountain-Opening Blade Skill. Sea One Slash honestly doesn’t match the Mountain-Opening Blade Skill’s caliber; if it weren’t for Qin Yuesheng’s True Qi, allowing him to channel blade energy through Sea One Slash, this skill wouldn’t be as powerful as the Mountain-Opening Blade Skill.
Inheriting the Mountain-Opening Blade Skill’s saber style, while possessing Sea One Slash’s sharpness, when this saber skill reaches great success, it becomes overwhelmingly fierce and merciless.
It further holds the power to break mountains, slice rocks, and cut ravines, capable of destroying strong defenses, truly the nemesis of horizontal practicing hard skills.
"Indeed, it’s much more powerful than the previous martial arts." Feeling his newfound understanding, Qin Yuesheng nodded in satisfaction.
With the enhancement of strength, he had already sensed that the martial arts learned by common folk were lacking, unable to pose a threat to true experts.
Now having acquired three new upgraded martial arts, his strength significantly rose, especially with Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber—this skill specially countering horizontal practicing hard skills—allows him to treat even External Forging Hammer Tendon Realm martial artists as if dead.
"Now I can barely step into the third stage of External Forging. Once reaching Outer Forging Perfection, I can start cultivating Internal Cultivation Methods. Once Inner Strength succeeds, my power can instantly have a profound gap with the Outer Forging Realm."
Qin Yuesheng added all points to make his spirit and charm 15.0, immediately breaking the limit.
Moreover, he elevated the Diamond Iron Image and Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror to the Great Success Realm; Qin Yuesheng could feel that, with another improvement, he would officially reach Outer Forging Perfection.
Regardless of Diamond Iron Image or Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror, both are outstanding External Forging Skills. If Qin Yuesheng could enhance both to perfection, he’d be without doubt among the top External Forging experts.
Crack crack!
Clenching his fists casually, a burst of crackling sound emitted from the knuckles, Qin Yuesheng struck out a casual punch, accompanied by a gale-like fist wind, amazingly powerful.
"With my current strength, facing Wang Ba at Outer Forging Perfection again, I should succeed in defeating without using toxins." Qin Yuesheng thought.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Pengqiao Village.
"Damn it, that boy actually killed Beauty Spider, which Steward Wang painstakingly cultivated, I can’t shoulder this matter and must immediately contact Junior Brother Zhao."
A crow swiftly flew from Pengqiao Village, beyond the basin, disappearing finally into the nearby mountains.
