Chapter 109: Chapter 107: She's Back_1
At ten o'clock in the evening, Fang Ren sat alone in a classroom, concocting his own pills.
Recently, he was very distressed because his Realm could hardly be suppressed any longer, and he might break through at any moment. Once he broke through from the Yuanxin Realm to the Ruo Shui Realm, his method of cultivation would undergo a tremendous change.
Moreover, many of the previously nuanced concepts would become pale and powerless in the face of the insights from the new Realm; by then, he probably wouldn't be able to lay a solid foundation for the Nine Techniques of Lethal Combat, missing many details.
Qianye advised him to seek stability, but his Realm was fundamentally unstable.
Looking at the boiling hot water in the furnace, Fang Ren became very conflicted. He sat for a while and then casually pulled out the sleeping Qianye from his pocket.
"Huh?"
Qianye looked at him with groggy eyes, full of confusion.
"What do I do if my Realm can't be suppressed?" Fang Ren asked with a worried expression.
Qianye rubbed its eyes, then freed itself from his grasp and hopped onto his head in two or three leaps, touching Fang Ren's forehead with its round ball-like arms.
After a few seconds, it jumped onto the desk, holding the gray halo above its head with its round ball-like arms, continually "huh-huh"ing and swaying the halo back and forth.
"What are you doing?" Fang Ren asked, bewildered.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Qianye shook the halo on its head and a very small fruit fell out from within.
This fruit was only the size of a thumb, entirely gray, and radiated a dazzling brilliance—it was very beautiful.
"Huh huh huh!"
Qianye stuffed the fruit into Fang Ren's hand.
"You're asking me to eat this?" Fang Ren asked startled.
"Huh!" Qianye nodded.
Seeing this, Fang Ren didn't hesitate; he directly threw the little black fruit into his mouth. The moment it entered, the fruit melted straight into his stomach.
Two seconds later, Fang Ren felt the flow of True Qi inside his body suddenly slow down drastically, as if something was blocking it, like being shackled with layer upon layer of heavy chains, totally incapable of flowing smoothly as before.
"Is it controlling True Qi?" Fang Ren was stunned.
He then tried to circulate his True Qi and found that its flow was at least twenty times slower than before and incredibly cumbersome to move!
"How much weight did you add to me?" Fang Ren, still with a worried look, said, "The Tianjiang Investigation Group has arrived, and the people from Indra Sky could appear at any moment. How am I supposed to kill then?"
"Huh huh huh!"
Qianye chirped immediately and hopped back onto Fang Ren's head. The gray halo on its head began to expand, casting down waves of gray light which entered Fang Ren's head.
In an instant, Fang Ren's eyes glazed over, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, shocked.
Staring at his own hands in amazement, he muttered to himself, "Qi Yan Fruit? The density of True Qi is enhanced a hundredfold? The Qi waves surge like a rainbow? What is this... does it mean my True Qi is somewhat more powerful than before?"
"Huh huh!"
Qianye nodded vigorously.
Fang Ren hesitated, "This isn't limiting cultivation level, it's just making my training more difficult and improving the quality?"
Qianye nodded again.
Subsequently, Fang Ren circulated his True Qi while concocting pills, constantly adapting to the cumbersome energy within him. Meanwhile, Qianye, feeling sleepy, dozed off on the desk.
After a long while, Fang Ren took two pills out of the Pill Furnace, put the sleeping Qianye into his pocket, and ran to the classroom corridor.
"How powerful can this True Qi become?"
Speaking, Fang Ren's True Qi suddenly erupted. He stomped on the ceramic tile of the corridor floor, and in an instant, the heavy True Qi pooled violently into the ground.
Boom—
A sound like steel clashing exploded, Fang Ren's shoes instantly disintegrated into powder, and the tiles of the corridor began to crack one by one.
Hum—
His entire body suddenly surged towards the sky, this leap took him more than fifty meters off the ground.
Hanging in the air, Fang Ren looked down from fifty meters high, his vision unobstructed and vast. He stared blankly around him, stunned by his own leap.
His meridians were naturally wider than those of the average practitioner, and he had many more of them, providing him with an incredibly strong explosive power. Now, having consumed that Qi Derivative Fruit, his explosive power had simply undergone a qualitative leap.
A few seconds later, Fang Ren landed beside a small river outside the school, his body's Gray Vital Energy swirling continuously.
Suddenly, he clenched his fists, his True Qi began to gather force, ready to strike, and then he unleashed a punch into the air towards the small river.
Boom—
In the next instant, the river water exploded into the sky, turning into raindrops that splashed everywhere, and a pit more than ten meters wide was left directly in front of his body.
The water inside kept turning into steam rising up, issuing a sizzling sound.
Fang Ren immediately retracted his True Qi, looking at the pit more than ten meters wide in front of him with a shocked expression on his face, "My goodness... even without activating the Nine Techniques of Lethal Combat, a casual punch can unleash such power?"
After being in shock for a long while, Fang Ren tried again.
He found that, although the circulation speed of the vital energy in his body was considerably slower than before, it had become incredibly powerful, even exceeding the force he could control.
If he could control it well, his shoes wouldn't have to be shattered into powder by the force of his True Qi.
"First of the Nine Techniques, activate!"
In an instant, a red, fiery aura burst forth from his body. Without a moment's hesitation, he punched toward the small river again.
Thud—
Another loud boom echoed as mud mixed with water droplets flew into the air.
Along the straight line of his punch, a trench five meters wide and over thirty meters long was forcefully carved out of the earth.
"Is this the power of the Yuanxin Realm?"
The more Fang Ren observed, the more astonished he became. He had achieved this without employing any offensive cultivation techniques; if he were to practice some attacking techniques, he might be able to completely obliterate this small river.
"I need to practice more; otherwise, if I can't control this thing, I might accidentally shatter my underwear next time."
Muttering to himself, Fang Ren dispersed all his vital energy, preparing to return to his dorm.
But just as he was about to turn and leave, suddenly, a silver streak of light flashed across the sky, catching his eye.
"What is that..."
At the moment he saw the fleeting light, Fang Ren's mind went blank.
And in the brief moment of his daze, the silver streak that had just darted across the sky suddenly turned around and came charging straight toward his position.
Whoosh—
Almost in the blink of an eye, the silver streak directly descended in front of him.
Fang Ren dumbfoundedly watched the figure enveloped in the silver light, his previously dull eyes suddenly trembling.
His expression of stupefaction turned to one of immense excitement.
Silver hair gently draped over the shoulders, a holy set of Silver Armor, and the Hundred Martial Divine Weapons spinning continuously behind her...
She had returned...
