Chapter 157: Chapter 89 Whale Five Skills! The 2nd Stream of True Qi!_2
Su Changkong also didn’t forget to practice the Five Animal Frolics and the Turtle Breath Technique every day. The time he used to spend on alchemy and forging was now entirely devoted to cultivating the Giant Whale Skill.
As time trickled by, Su Changkong could feel his body growing daily. His muscles became more refined and full of strength; his reactions were quicker, and his power greater! He was advancing towards a higher level!
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In the quiet grand hall, with torches hanging on both sides shining a bright light, the interior space was illuminated.
“Boom!”
Su Changkong sat in silent meditation, practicing the breathing techniques of the Giant Whale Skill, with faint sounds of ocean waves and thunderous roars echoing around him!
Within Su Changkong’s body, a series of azure True Qi was gradually forming. This was a second stream of True Qi, distinct from Turtle Breathing True Qi—the Giant Whale True Qi!
Both streams of True Qi were blue, yet their properties were entirely different; the Turtle Breathing True Qi of light blue color, thick but calm, like a babbling brook flowing.
The azure Giant Whale True Qi, on the other hand, was fierce and overbearing, reminiscent of the ocean’s water, capable of raising towering waves in anger, engulfing everything in its path.
Giant Whale Skill (3rd Level Complete Understanding 1%)
A month of grueling practice, an ample supply of pill medicine, and food, along with complete cultivation methods, led to the lightning-speed progress of Su Changkong’s Giant Whale Skill. In just one month, he had stepped from the 2nd realm to the 3rd realm and had cultivated the Giant Whale True Qi!
Such speed was indeed enough to leave people dumbfounded!
“Luckily… my Turtle Breathing True Qi is neutral and peaceful, neither clashing nor contending. It doesn’t conflict with the Giant Whale True Qi. On the contrary, the two types of True Qi share similar origins and can cooperate to a degree!”
Additionally, Su Changkong breathed a small sigh of relief that there was no conflict between the True Qi.
A Martial Artist possessing multiple types of True Qi might not be a good thing. If the True Qi contradicted each other, there was a danger of going berserk!
The Turtle Breath Technique that Su Changkong cultivated belonged to the water element. If he were to cultivate the Red Fire Skill as well, the two might clash!
But because the Giant Whale True Qi cultivated from the Giant Whale Skill also belonged to water, this concern did not exist.
“Tsst!”
With his right hand’s middle and index fingers together, Su Changkong pointed a finger, and at its tip, a strand of azure True Qi condensed, like a droplet of water, making his finger’s touch silent and capable of penetrating metal.
Only upon reaching the 3rd level of the Giant Whale Skill and feeling its powerful energy, which gave birth to Giant Whale True Qi, could one say that the Giant Whale Skill had truly achieved something significant!
“Whoosh!”
Su Changkong clenched his fist. His heart began beating faster, blood flowed swiftly through his body, and Qi and Blood surged. A faint mist emerged on his skin, condensing into a veil.
Compared to a month ago, Su Changkong’s Qi and Blood had made significant advances, benefiting from the vast amount of food consumed thanks to the Giant Whale Skill. The rich nutritional meat, accumulated over time, successfully allowed him to undergo a round of blood refining, reaching the Qi Blood Two Transformation stage!
His physique was now stronger than before, and this was no small enhancement.
As for his life span, there was no change. Su Changkong guessed it was because his Qi and Blood had not undergone a qualitative transformation. If he could cultivate Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke, his life span should increase once more!
“Now I am much stronger than I was a month ago. If I had the condition I possess now back then, along with the Blade Nurturing Art, I would definitely have been able to kill Qi Chenghong without both of us perishing together!” Su Changkong reflected on the transformation that had taken place over the month.
The battle against Qi Chenghong was avoided thanks to Sikong Huang’s intervention to prevent a mutual destruction. But now, facing Qi Chenghong again, it would not come to a do-or-die situation!
“Knock, knock, knock!”
After regulating his breath for a while, Su Changkong heard knocking at the door.
“No one usually disturbs me at this hour; could it be Sikong Huang?”
Su Changkong got up, feeling it should be Sikong Huang.
During the month, in order to avoid drawing attention, Sikong Huang very rarely came here to visit Su Changkong personally.
When Su Changkong got up to open the door, indeed, Sikong Huang stood outside the grand hall.
“Hmm? You seem full of vigor and vitality, more spirited than a month ago. It seems you’ve had some gains!”
Upon seeing Su Changkong, Sikong Huang’s eyes lit up slightly, noting that he had made no small progress.
“Indeed, I’ve had some gains. Come in and let’s talk,” Su Changkong nodded and stepped aside to let Sikong Huang in for a chat.
In the grand hall, Su Changkong smiled, “Second Miss, did you come to see me because there’s something you need?”
“Indeed, there is something…” A serious expression appeared on Sikong Huang’s face. Seeing her look, Su Changkong knew it was something out of the ordinary. He didn’t speak but listened attentively.
Sikong Huang began, “In three days’ time, it will be the Giant Whale Gang’s annual gathering. All the high-level members will attend. But my elder brother is not yet healed from his injuries and cannot make it. If he doesn’t attend, not only will the disciples who support the Sikong Family’s Leader Faction become restless, but that Meng Sang will likely seize the opportunity to make trouble. Therefore… my brother must attend!”
Sikong Zhan, Sikong Huang’s elder brother, the son of the Gang Leader, Young Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, was brave and valiant with immense prestige.
Yet, having returned severely injured from an operation against Sea Pirates, Sikong Huang had even asked Su Changkong to make a Qi Consolidation Guardian Soul Pill, indicating the severity of the injury. He had been confined to his room ever since, recuperating in quiet.
But over the past month, Sikong Zhan’s injuries had still not healed, and his current condition definitely prevented him from attending the Giant Whale Gang’s annual gathering.
For the Young Gang Leader to be absent would undeniably cause a stir within the gang.
Sikong Zhan would not be able to attend the Giant Whale Gang’s yearly meeting, but Sikong Huang said he must, and now she was discussing this matter with Su Changkong. Su Changkong roughly guessed what Sikong Huang had in mind.
