The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1439 - 739: Confidence Comes from Strength (Part 2)

After the initial exchange of blows, Qing Shui no longer felt fear in his heart; instead, he actually felt as if he was going all out, maintaining contact with the Golden Werewolf.

Clenching his fists, the "ancient enhancement technique" slowly began to take effect, and Qing Shui felt his energy continuously increasing. Earlier, he had executed three strikes out of fear without showing his true power! Now, as Qing Shui calmed down, he decided to unleash his full strength and test the real limits of Satan’s furry toes in the Blue Flame. After all, if he still held back, a moment of carelessness might cause him to lose his life easily.

Perhaps it was the combat intent in Qing Shui’s eyes that angered the Golden Werewolf. It raised its head and roared, its howl enveloping the sky in defiance and emitting a violent aura. Likely, the Golden Werewolf acknowledged Qing Shui as a worthy opponent, and thereafter, the werewolf assumed its battle form and grew in size.

"RAWRRR!"

After letting out a deafening roar, the Golden Werewolf rushed toward Qing Shui. Its enormous body resembled Mount Tai, exerting immense pressure during the assault. The werewolf opened its jaws wide, filled with jagged teeth, aiming to bite Qing Shui’s throat! At this moment, Qing Shui regained his composure, watching the Golden Werewolf rapidly approaching him. His body was filled with vitality, and his right hand exploded forward with speed, slightly trembling.

"Shoo!"

The pebble targeted the werewolf’s jaw area, emitting an extremely discordant sound as it soared through the air.

At the exact moment the pebble flew out, Qing Shui chose not to retreat but advanced, akin to diving into the soil, crossing his hands, forcefully penetrating the werewolf’s back.

"Kacha!"

"Ah!" The wolf cried out in pain (how does a wolf speak?)

It emitted a piercing sound, accompanied by howling agony.

Qing Shui shoved his elbow against the werewolf, utilizing the power of that push to retreat a distance. The severely injured werewolf crouched on its hind legs, displaying a pleading expression, staring fearfully at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui wasn’t as calm as he appeared; the previous strike was too dangerous! If not for seizing the opportunity, shooting the pebble at the exact moment when the werewolf was fully focused on attacking, he wouldn’t have had a chance to harm one of the werewolf’s hind legs.

Wolves are inherently cunning, hence Qing Shui dared not be careless and underestimate his opponent. As he entered an intensely focused state, he cautiously stared at the Golden Werewolf, with sweat streaming down his entire body.

Meanwhile, Qing Shui stared at the severely injured Golden Werewolf and couldn’t help but slightly relax. The slight drop in his focus triggered a daze, sending his brain into a state of trance. While in trance, Qing Shui couldn’t even stand up straight.

Just as a wave of dizziness arose, the worn jade pendant on his chest emitted a wave of cool energy, swiftly circulating throughout his body, sustaining Qing Shui. This sensation was akin to the rain suddenly meeting the dry land during a sunbath in the desert.

The cool energy waves continuously circulated within his body. Qing Shui felt his limbs unable to bear any pressure, and his body felt extremely relaxed, comfortable to the point of extreme laziness. Just as he was about to fall asleep, something extremely strange happened!

The planting within the ancient enhancement technique by Qing Shui was currently at the peak of the Second Layer Heaven. At this moment, in Qing Shui’s calm and serene state, the ancient cultivator unexpectedly broke into the third level! Qing Shui felt a warm and gentle Qi flow circulating throughout his body, quickly enhancing the toughness of his bones and energy channels. After breaking through to the third level, that strand of Qi had become progressively thicker. Through the refinement process, Qing Shui could feel his energy channels expanding and growing thicker.

As his body gradually recovered its strength, Qing Shui realized his power had greatly surpassed his previous limits. The difference in strength was unimaginable! Qing Shui knew the ancient enhancement technique had a total of 9 levels. Every 3 levels represented a tier. Levels 1-3 equaled the lower tier, levels 4-6 equaled the middle tier, and levels 7-9 equaled the upper tier. Now he had cultivated to the third level. Once he could break through to the fourth level, Qing Shui couldn’t even imagine the benefits. As long as he could cross through the door, a whole new realm would be before him. Despite barely breaking through to the third level, Qing Shui already began to anticipate breaking into the fourth level of the ancient enhancement technique.

With the cessation of the ancient strengthening technique, Qing Shui felt ecstatic inside. It’s no wonder that Middle Cultivators would fight for true combat since the battle experience acquired from a life-and-death struggle is far greater than solitary training.

Seeing the gentle and cowardly Golden Werewolf whose eyes fluttered, Qing Shui could sense the Golden Werewolf wanted to escape.

After all, Qing Shui decided not to pursue his gratitude. If not for today’s Golden Werewolf, he wouldn’t have easily broken through the third level of the ancient enhancement technique. As Qing Shui checked the energy channel and Qi balloon in his Dantian, he realized the Blue Lotus Art had also reached the third level! Qing Shui could vaguely feel that integrating the Blue Lotus Art and the ancient enhancement technique resulted in a mix of blue and yellow Qi. Compared to the Blue Lotus Art he practiced, it varied slightly from what the Qing Clan practiced. However, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact nature of the difference.

He frowned: "So, will I never become garbage again?" Qing Shui didn’t even know when the Golden-haired Werewolf escaped, as he pondered this question.

"The development of the ancient enhancement technique grows increasingly challenging; I don’t even know how long it will take me to break into the fourth level, resulting in the cultivation progress of the Blue Lotus Art stagnating as well?" Qing Shui supplemented one with the other.

"Forget it. Anyway, I still possess the lonely fast fist of breaking through the second layer of heaven with the ancient enhancement technique. Oh, right! I wonder what new skill will appear in my mind upon breaking through to the third layer of heaven!" Qing Shui excitedly murmured to himself.

-

"Escape technique. This was the new skill he received from breaking through the third level of the ancient enhancement technique. As the information of the escape technique seeped into his mind, Qing Shui bit his teeth in frustration.

"Ah, what is my escape technique at this moment? Even if the reward isn’t more information about pill mixtures, shouldn’t it at least be another enhancement technique?" he murmured listlessly. I don’t even know how long it will take to enter the fourth level of the ancient enhancement technique. When can I learn more about Alchemy? He pondered over the information regarding various Magic Pills that resided in his mind, making his heart bleed. Small Revitalization Pills, glowing Buddha Seed, Dragon Martial Arts Pill, and even 9 Soul Reincarnation Pills, ARGHHHHH."

Regrettably, Qing Shui wished to quickly learn pill mixing techniques because the Qing Clan had numerous herbal medicines, let alone Qing Yi being a herbal medicine merchant and Qing Clan also possessing rare herbs, precious herbal medicine. That’s why Qing Shui couldn’t wait to familiarize himself with Alchemy. If he could concoct some pills, it would significantly enhance his cultivation speed. Without an external aid source, according to his own calculations, it would take him an extended period to break into the Fourth Layer of Heaven. After all, the ancient enhancement technique is incomparably powerful, almost reaching the point of resisting heaven, yet it also has many limitations.

"That’s it. Escape technique isn’t bad, at least it’s better than nothing. After all, escape techniques aren’t quite suitable for me now, as I would rather learn pill mixtures. I shouldn’t complain too much, though, because peak-level escape techniques are also extremely valuable and capable of saving lives in moments of danger," Qing Shui knew the escape technique that appeared in his mind could be considered one of the peak-level layered escape techniques. Even among the highest-level techniques, it could be considered one of the foremost techniques.

As Qing Shui closed his eyes and began analyzing the information regarding the escape technique, he realized this technique was more suitable as a thief. The recorded techniques were incredibly complex, with various intricate methods designed to blend with various terrains and blend with the surroundings. This astonished Qing Shui!
