Chapter 74 - 67: Is This What It Feels Like to Be a Whale?

Chapter 74: Chapter 67: Is This What It Feels Like to Be a Whale?

The whole point was to overwhelm all techniques with sheer force.

Zhao Ci had also looked up information, and only after determining the limits of what a Second-Grade Flesh Soul could handle did he decide to go with this design.

After all, he predicted that since his cultivation of the Emperor’s Extreme Body Refining Technique had reached the Harmony Realm, a Second-Grade Flesh Soul would be more than enough.

But unexpectedly, he’d gotten his hands on the Emperor Pill and mastered the Celestial Demon Body as well.

He reached out his hand.

And gripped the spear’s shaft.

"Hah!"

Just as he thought!

It wasn’t heavy at all.

In fact, it even felt a little light!

Zhao Ci was quite excited. He casually performed a few basic spear techniques and felt no resistance whatsoever.

If an outsider were present, they would have thought Zhao Ci was only wielding a wooden spear weighing less than a dozen pounds.

"Awesome!"

Zhao Ci let out a long breath. They were just basic spear techniques, but with his own power and the weight of the spear, anyone below the Physical Body Realm would be in serious trouble if they took a single hit.

However...

He then tried some more lethal spear techniques, but he felt immense pain shoot through all the meridians in his body.

’This won’t work!’

’The strain this weight puts on my meridians is still too much.’

’Before I enter the Muscle Strengthening Stage, I can’t be too reckless.’

Zhao Ci’s brow furrowed. Although his spearmanship had reached a proficient level, and his instincts alone could make up for the shortcomings of the moves, basic techniques were still basic techniques. He would ultimately be at a disadvantage.

It was a bit of a headache.

Wait!

His gaze suddenly fell upon a piece of Talisman Paper.

[Body Suppressing Talisman]: Apply to a target’s body to prevent all forms of physical deterioration for a quarter of an hour.

Prevent all forms of deterioration.

’In other words... my muscles and bones won’t break.’

’Does that mean for this quarter of an hour, I can go on a rampage?’

Zhao Ci’s eyes lit up. He originally thought it was a Talisman Paper for delaying injuries, but it turned out to be a berserker buff. He had to save this.

He reviewed the descriptions on the other pieces of Talisman Paper again.

Then he threw himself back into his spear training.

He urgently needed to find a fighting style that suited his current condition.

Because a conflict with other Cultivators was bound to happen sooner or later.

Without him realizing it, three hours had passed.

Zhao Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead, went outside, and looked at the sky. Something felt strange.

Feng Kucha was lazy, sure.

But at this hour, it made no sense that he wasn’t up yet!

He had an appointment with Kan Luotang in another two hours.

He could use this time to go check on the Feng Mansion.

After all, Feng Ji’s journal was incredibly valuable. He would feel bad using it if he didn’t bring Feng Kucha along to enjoy some of the resulting fame and fortune.

He went outside.

Boarded the carriage.

He cracked the whip.

The carriage sped off toward the Feng Mansion.

As usual, the gatekeeper of the Feng Family didn’t stop him, warmly leading him to the small courtyard where Feng Kucha lived.

But before he could even knock on the door...

He heard a shrill cry from inside.

"Young Master Kucha! I really can’t take it anymore!"

"Please just let me turn back into my human form!"

"You’re about to make my snake tail split in two!"

Then...

A woman with a human torso and a snake’s tail fled the courtyard as if her life depended on it.

Her sharp, V-line face was surprisingly pretty. In his past life, she would have definitely been a top female influencer.

But right now, her beautiful face was pale with fright, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Feng Kucha’s voice followed close behind, "Bullshit! The snake tail is the best part... Huh? Zhao Ci, why do you always show up at times like this?"

His expression was awkward.

He pulled up his pants again.

The corner of Zhao Ci’s mouth twitched. "Didn’t you say you were going to give this Snake Woman to me to get a position as a Mansion Official?"

"I, I..."

Feng Kucha looked agonized. "I thought about it all last night. I don’t really have any skills, so wouldn’t I just be a burden as your Mansion Official? After thinking it over, I decided to forget it. Besides, this Snake Demon is a real masterpiece. I couldn’t hold back and... well, you know."

Zhao Ci: "???"
