Chapter 322 - 251: Young Man, Why Don’t You Cherish Your Body

Chapter 322: Chapter 251: Young Man, Why Don’t You Cherish Your Body

Tang Wen smiled and held out his hand. "This is my Panel... well, this is my Talent!"

Ah Qi moved closer. Instead of touching his hand, she raised a paw and pricked his left chest. A drop of blood seeped out, pure red and crystal clear.

A gentle breeze lifted the droplet of blood, raising it high into the air. Facing the sun, it suddenly glowed like a ruby.

A golden light, like flowing colors, flashed in Ah Qi’s eyes. She was clearly using some kind of Spiritual Secret Technique.

After a long moment, the light faded, and the droplet of blood fell onto her tongue.

"How strange. You really are a freak, kid."

Like a big white cat, she circled Tang Wen twice, her fluffy tail patting him a few times.

It was as if a feline doctor was giving him a check-up.

"Don’t worry, Sister Qi. I’m fine."

The big white cat didn’t press the issue. Swinging her tail, she sat back down, and the tempering continued.

In one hour, she could temper him about four times.

From afternoon to evening, four hours passed, and then Ah Qi went on strike.

The next day, Tang Wen lured Ah Qi into the underground secret chamber with a price of one whole roasted lamb every three days, plus a bonus of one roasted suckling pig.

Tempering under ten times gravity made his Experience Points increase even faster.

On the third day, Tang Wen increased his "blade endurance" time to two minutes at a stretch.

Another day later, he began practicing the Eight Vajra Techniques amidst the Wind Blades.

[Eight Vajra Techniques, Expert (18000/18000)]

That night, the White Tiger’s arrival had spread panic throughout the city, also interrupting Tang Wen’s cultivation plan.

He had originally planned to break through to the Grandmaster level in the Eight Vajra Techniques within ten days, but he had failed.

This bottleneck was harder to overcome than he had imagined.

Through his recent tempering, he had maxed out the experience.

But the breakthrough just wouldn’t come.

’It’s a classic Cultivation Technique from the Daoist School. I wonder what effects it will have after breaking through?’

Tang Wen suppressed his excitement to calm his mind. Amidst the assault of Wind Blades, he reined in his emotions, striving to achieve a heart as still as water, like a Daoist master.

「Seven days passed in a flash.」

His Eight Vajra Techniques had still not broken through.

His Hard Skills, on the other hand, had broken through.

[Visualization Martial Arts, Golden Jade Demon Body (Four Skills Combined), Beginner → Master (7/18000)]

The moment he broke through, the golden-red hue of his skin deepened.

His Defense Power soared.

The dense barrage of Wind Blades hammered down, unable to leave even a single mark.

"Y-Y-You... what’s happening?" Ah Qi’s eyes bulged like yo-yos!

’You’re an Extraordinary, and your defense was already absurdly high, how could it suddenly spike even higher?!’

’Is this even reasonable?’

’Even we White Tigers don’t have this kind of Talent!’

She was so astonished she went on strike right then and there.

Tang Wen bluffed with a straight face, "Epiphany, epiphany, you get me, Sister Qi! I just had a sudden moment of enlightenment."

"Is that so?" the big white cat asked, half-convinced.

"Of course. I may not learn as fast as Hu Lan, but as the number one genius of Ganshan City, epiphanies are a regular occurrence for me. Sister Qi, as a genius of the White Tiger Race, you must understand, right?"

"Uh, yes, yes, of course," the big white cat said, licking her paws and avoiding his gaze.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

The conversation between the man and the tiger was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

"What is it?"

Vice Gang Leader Liu of the Black Water Gang, who was in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, replied with a helpless tone, "Eleven Fifth Grade masters from the White Tiger Race have arrived! Everyone in the city wants to know what’s going on."

Tang Wen looked at Ah Qi, and Ah Qi looked back at him.

They stared at each other, wide-eyed.

He picked up the Unity Mirror to ask Hu Lan, but after a long while, there was no reply.

The people outside the door were growing impatient.

A troubled look crossed Tang Wen’s face. ’Looks like I’ll have to make something up on the spot.’

He pulled the door open and was startled. The hallway was packed shoulder to shoulder with the higher-ups from all the major factions!

The heavy Stone Gate had blocked all sound, so he hadn’t heard the commotion.

The crowd stared at Tang Wen like tigers eyeing their prey, their expressions filled with suspicion.

Including the White Tiger that had stayed behind, the White Tiger Tribe had sent a total of twelve Peak Fifth Grade masters.

With the City Lord absent, which faction could possibly stand against them?

Third Master Huang shouted, his face dark, "Tang Wen, did you sell..."

He didn’t get to finish the four words "sell out the city."

Suddenly, he saw Tang Wen step aside from the doorway, and a white tiger shot out, fixing its gaze on him.

Third Master Huang truly lived up to his reputation as a veteran Fifth Grade master; his reactions were swift. His expression changed in an instant. "Did you... skip your meals again to train so hard?! That’s no good! Young people who don’t cherish their bodies will regret it when they’re old!"

Tang Wen almost burst out laughing.
