Stronger with Crimson Modifier-Chapter 63: Spontaneous Generation of Qi and Blood, Snake Form Posture Level 3

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Spontaneous Generation of Qi and Blood, Snake Form Posture Level 3

The gentle breeze from the air conditioner seemed to have turned into an icy wind.

His muscles began to tremble uncontrollably from the excessive cold.

But Hu Qi’s expression remained calm.

Thanks to the cumulative Traits his body had gained from various Fighting Techniques, this level of cold was not enough to make him even think of backing down.

Time passed.

In the cage in the corner,

the Camphor Tea Duck had its head down, unmoving, as if asleep.

Suddenly—

QUACK QUACK!!

It was as if the duck had sensed a dangerous aura. It jolted awake, its eyes snapping open to stare in Hu Qi’s direction.

In the center of the room,

Hu Qi stood motionless. A layer of white frost seemed to have formed on his hair.

The next moment, his expression changed.

He suddenly felt countless pinpricks of heat rising from the soles of his feet.

The sensation was similar to when your feet fall asleep from standing too long, yet it was different.

He could still clearly feel his limbs; there was no sense of numbness whatsoever.

He had felt this sensation before, but never this intensely.

Soon, more and more of these points of heat appeared, converging into two slender, hair-thin streams of warmth.

They then slowly traveled upward from the soles of his feet.

However, they abruptly stopped upon reaching his knees.

It was as if they had hit a barrier, and the warm streams began to recede.

Noticing this, a thought sparked in Hu Qi’s mind. His body sprang into motion—hands shaped like claws, feet stepping forward, he moved like a lithe snake.

He began practicing the Moving Posture: Snake Form.

Coordinating with the Snake Breathing Technique, he practiced the Snake Form over and over.

The streams of heat, which had stopped at his knees and even started to recede, immediately changed.

As if revitalized, they began to slowly advance once more, moving at a snail’s pace.

But they were definitely moving.

After a while, the streams of heat passed through his lower abdomen and finally converged in his chest.

At that moment, he could clearly feel his heart rate begin to accelerate as the warmth reached that spot.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

The sound of his furiously beating heart seemed to echo in his ears.

The blood and that heat, after undergoing a transformation, began to diverge and slowly flow toward his limbs and bones along a specific path.

Slowly, a warm sensation filled Hu Qi’s entire body.

He felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, exceptionally comfortable.

Not only that, but the frost on his hair and body melted before his eyes, dissipating as wisps of white steam.

Despite this, Hu Qi didn’t dare to be careless.

He continued performing the Snake Form, clearing his mind of all distractions, his expression focused as he controlled the warm current within him.

As time went on, after circulating through his body along the specific path, the streams of heat reconverged in his chest.

This process repeated several times.

The originally thin and weak streams of heat seemed to grow denser, and Hu Qi found he could control them with greater ease.

Only then did he stop moving.

Instantly, the heat inside him subsided somewhat.

It was still there, but no longer as active as before.

’The self-generation of Qi and Blood... I did it!’

A smile appeared on Hu Qi’s face.

He looked at the panel.

————

[Snake Form Posture (Entry-Level) △]

...

[Modification Points: 7 (98%)]

The Snake Form Posture had clearly reached the Entry-Level.

As for the Modification Points, they hadn’t increased much because the Camphor Tea Duck had been slacking off lately.

’Crimson, modify. Raise the Snake Form Posture to the Third Layer!’

Seeing the Triangular Rune that indicated an available upgrade,

Hu Qi didn’t hesitate for a second.

With a mere thought,

he focused his Spirit, ’pressed’ the rune, and imagined raising the skill directly to the Third Layer.

BUZZ!

The next moment, the panel vibrated slightly and responded.

The number in the Modification Points field began to decrease.

And the blood-red text for [Snake Form Posture] began to twist and blur.

At the same time, the wisp of Qi Blood Power that had just quieted down inside him,

surged out from his chest as if it had consumed a powerful elixir. It expanded rapidly and began to flow along its previous path.

Heat. An astonishing current of heat erupted from within Hu Qi.

As the Qi Blood Power circulated, his body became like a wok of boiling oil.

The surface of his skin rapidly turned red.

He looked just like a cooked shrimp.

Faint white steam even began to rise from his pores.

It was as if a bonfire had materialized in the room.

This phenomenon didn’t last long. After just ten seconds, the strange state subsided, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Looking down,

he saw a layer of blackish-brown grime covering his body.

It was accompanied by a faint, foul odor.

’Are these the impurities expelled from my body after entering the Qi Blood First Transformation?’

Hu Qi frowned.

He recalled what Wang Luo had told him about the Levels of Secret Martial Artists.

After generating Qi and Blood, reaching the First Layer of the Snake Form Posture marked the First Transformation, during which impurities would be expelled from the body.

The Snake Form Posture was divided into nine layers in total.

The First to Third Layers belonged to the Qi Blood First Transformation.

The Fourth to Sixth Layers were the Qi Blood Second Transformation.

The Seventh to Ninth Layers were the final, Third Transformation.

After entering the Qi Blood First Transformation, Qi and Blood could be generated at will and controlled with perfect precision. With a single thought, he could flood his entire body with it, enhancing his strength and speed.

In addition, his senses seemed to have become much sharper.

Thinking of this, he got up and went to the bathroom.

He had just picked up the shower head when he heard a CRUNCH.

Looking down, he saw that he had crushed the stainless steel shower head in his hand, leaving a deep indentation.

Hu Qi was stunned for only a moment before he realized what had happened.

This must be the result of him directly raising the Snake Form Posture to the Third Layer.

He hadn’t yet adapted to the sudden surge of strength in his body.

After that, he had no choice but to use the overhead shower to wash himself.

It took a large amount of body wash to finally rinse the filth off his body.

This kind of discharge only happened during the Qi Blood First Transformation; it would become less and less frequent afterward.

Though it was called "impurities," how could a human body actually contain so many?

Most of it was actually excess oil forced out by the boiling internal heat during the Qi Blood First Transformation.

After washing it all off, the biggest change was that Hu Qi’s skin had become a little fairer.

The original owner’s slightly rough, weather-beaten skin had become smoother and fairer, and his pores had shrunk a bit.

He wiped himself dry.

Stepping in front of the mirror, he reached out and wiped away the layer of steam.

The reflection of a figure was revealed.

It was a tall Young Man with a strong, well-built physique.

The Young Man had a white bath towel wrapped around his lower body.

The edge of the towel was slightly damp, clinging to the firm, powerful lines of his waist.

His upper body was bare, each muscle so well-defined it looked as if it had been meticulously sculpted.

His shoulders were broad, and his solid chest rose and fell gently, like a statue.

Compared to before, his physique seemed to have become even more perfect.

He closed his eyes to feel the changes within.

The streams of heat inside him, which had originally been as thin as hairs, had somehow grown to the thickness of toothpicks.

Not only that, but when Hu Qi raised his palm,

he willed the streams of heat to gather there.

Instantly, it was visible to the naked eye as his entire arm flushed red, engorged with blood, and expanded by a full size.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the mirror in front of him.

CRACK CRACK...

As his palm touched the mirror on the wall, the glass shattered instantly. Even the ceramic tiles next to it developed fine cracks, revealing the cement wall beneath.
