The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1327 - 812: You Geniuses Really Have a Way With Words

Chapter 1327: Chapter 812: You Geniuses Really Have a Way With Words

"Skills never go to waste. Plus, I just acquired some Innate Qi recently; it’d be a pity not to practice martial arts."

Liu Zheng said.

With Innate Qi, whether it’s martial arts or cultivation, you’re starting high.

But he felt he didn’t have much talent for cultivation. Even if his starting point was higher than others, he still couldn’t run faster than them, so training in martial arts, which has a lower threshold, seemed better.

"Innate Qi! How did you cultivate it?"

Ma Baoli exclaimed in surprise.

"The poor rely on talent; the rich rely on external help. I..."

Liu Zheng was about to brag, but was interrupted by a yawn.

"You’re tired and still want to boast, just lie down for now."

The two helped him to an empty room and tossed him onto the bed.

Doctor Nile took out scales and placed them on his chest, and a phantom heart appeared on the left side of the scales.

In Nile mythology, Death God Anubis uses the judgment scales to judge the dead.

He places the heart of the dead on one side of the scales and "Maat," the feather of truth, on the other side.

If the heart is lighter than the feather, the dead can ascend to Heaven.

If the heart is heavier than the feather, the dead must go to Hell.

Doctor Nile’s scales weren’t genuine, nor were they used to weigh good and evil, but rather to measure the soul.

He took a piece of papyrus and gently placed it on the other side of the scales, causing the heart to rise significantly.

"Your Soul Power isn’t even enough to light a match; did you make a deal with the devil?"

Doctor Nile quipped.

"Pretty much. Can it be healed?"

Liu Zheng wasn’t in the mood for story-telling now.

"Tough, the methods I know you wouldn’t accept anyway."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

As a learned priest, some shady spells had to be mastered, but many of the True God’s spells seemed shady to someone like Liu Zheng.

"Then give me some placebo at least, to mitigate the symptoms."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"That’s easy enough."

Doctor Nile took out the Gem Curved Knife, etched a mysterious symbol on his forehead, and murmured incantations.

Very soon, Liu Zheng felt much more spirited.

"This spell is called ’False Great Soul,’ which not only helps maintain clear thinking temporarily but also causes enemies to misjudge when sensing your soul."

Doctor Nile explained.

"How long does it last?"

He asked.

"About a day. If you receive any soul-level attack during this time, you’ll suffer extra damage. If you want to cancel the spell, just scrape off the rune on your forehead."

Doctor Nile replied.

"Wow, do all your spell-canceling methods have to be so brutal?"

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but comment.

"Not at all; there’s a whole set of canceling spells. For someone without Mana and not a follower of God Ra like you, chanting for half an hour should suffice. Do you want to learn?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"No thanks, scraping off the rune sounds pretty good to me, fits my Black Mountain Goat Cub mixed-blood vibe."

He conceded without hesitation.

Chanting for half an hour would mean memorizing it all day, which he had no time for.

"By the way, what was it you wanted to say earlier?"

Liu Zheng shifted the topic to Ma Baoli.

"Weren’t you talking just now? Anyway, I do have an idea."

Ma Baoli said.

"Go ahead."

"You said your Innate Qi was obtained through external means, right?"

Ma Baoli asked.

"That’s right."

He nodded.

There was no shame in it; if he didn’t rely on external means, he couldn’t even beat a fish in the kitchen now.

"Can I take a look?"

"Sure, but how do you look at this thing?"

Liu Zheng asked in puzzlement.

"Just open your mind and let me probe it a bit. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything sinister."

Ma Baoli assured.

"I’m not really worried, even if you plant a million volts in me, you’d be the one to die in the end."

He said confidently.

In terms of martial arts, Ma Baoli was better; when it came to risking lives, Liu Zheng had two extra to spare.

"Okay, you’re awesome."

Ma Baoli rolled her eyes and placed her hand on his abdomen.

Liu Zheng instantly felt like he got a little electric shock.

"Where’s your Innate Qi? I can’t see it."

Ma Baoli asked in puzzlement.

"Because you’re looking in the wrong place; my Innate Qi is here."

He pointed to his forehead.

"Why is your Innate Qi in the upper dantian? Isn’t it supposed to be in the lower dantian?"

Ma Baoli wondered.

"Probably because only my head is my own."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"You really are a strange... person."

Ma Baoli shook her head and placed her hand on his forehead.

After another electric jolt, Ma Baoli’s eyes lit up.

"It’s indeed Innate Qi, and it’s untainted."

She said excitedly.

"Say what? So it’s tainted once it’s in my body? I really don’t like how that sounds."

Liu Zheng complained.

"I didn’t mean that kind of taint; listen to me."

Ma Baoli hastily explained.

"I don’t care; you hurt my fragile soul, so compensate me a bit first."

He reached out.

"Fine, here you go, are you satisfied now?"

Ma Baoli handed him a hundred bucks.

"That’s more like it; go on."

Liu Zheng said contentedly.

It’s been a while since anything came in; even a fly is still meat.

"Actually, I once had Innate Qi too."

Ma Baoli said.
