251: 162 Fate 251: 162 Fate “”Mysterious Turtle Series Technique, it’s your turn now…”
Fang Zhixing lifted his head and walked over to the Mysterious Turtle bookshelf.
“Hedgehog Skill,” “Guiyang Skill,” “No Defects Technique”…
The Mysterious Turtle Series Technique was actually the most numerous.
Perhaps people are afraid of death, so they spent most of their effort on researching how to defend themselves.
This also led to the Mysterious Turtle Series Techniques far outnumbering the other three branches.
Fang Zhixing felt at ease, picked up the Martial Arts secret manuals, and began to flip through them one by one.
Soon, the Full Level Conditions for the numerous Mysterious Turtle Series Techniques were listed.
[Hedgehog Skill·Full Level Conditions:
1.
Bare-handedly capture a Third Level hedgehog (Incomplete)]
[No Defects Technique·Full Level Conditions:
1.
Block all Nine Acupoints for more than 7 days (Incomplete)]
[Iron Cloth Shirt·Full Level Conditions:
1.
Wear an iron shirt continuously for more than 30 days without taking it off (Incomplete)]
…
“Eh, how come there’s only one condition?”
Xigou, not knowing when he had arrived, squatted beside Fang Zhixing, tilted his head, opened his canine eyes wide, and his dog face was full of shock.
Fang Zhixing’s lips curled up and he joyfully said, “This means that I’ve laid a solid foundation early on, and now it’s finally time for a thin harvest on top of a thick accumulation.”
Xigou suddenly realized, saying, “Hmm, that is to say, the more solid your foundation, the fewer conditions are required to reach Full Level, right?”
Previously, it was a phenomenon with Martial Arts of the same series that conditions would lessen increasingly.
Unexpectedly, after Fang Zhixing continuously strengthened his power, agility, and resilience, the influence seemed to have significantly expanded upon reaching Defense.
Fang Zhixing’s Cultivation of the Mysterious Turtle Series Techniques now had pitifully few Full Level Conditions.
Just one condition, is that a joke?
Isn’t that too easy!!
“Well, it’s not just one condition, there are two conditions for a couple of techniques.”
Fang Zhixing’s eyes suddenly lit up as he took two thick books from the shelf.
They were:
“River Flow” and “Pangolin Scale Armor Skill”!
[River Flow·Full Level Conditions:
1.
Dive to the bottom of a river with strong currents and salvage ‘Turtle Pattern Stones’ 100 pieces (Incomplete)
2.
Hunt a Three Beast Realm Mutant Beast that lives in water (Incomplete)]
[Pangolin Scale Armor Skill·Full Level Conditions:
1.
Get hit or rolled over by a Third Level pangolin 20 times or more (Incomplete)
2.
Gather ‘Scale Clothing Powder’ and apply it all over the body once (Incomplete)]
Xigou looked on curiously, asking, “What the heck is a Turtle Pattern Stone?
And what is this Scale Clothing Powder?”
Fang Zhixing shook his head, saying, “I don’t know, I’ve never heard of them.”
Xigou asked, “Then what will you do?
Before, you could have accessed the information in the Iron Casting Hall, but now you only have a study and no Xuanwu Pavilion for your use.”
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhixing smiled and said, “There’s a place where I should be able to find it, let’s go to Wind Singing Pavilion.”
…
…
Qinglin County!
A mahogany horse carriage approached from afar, gradually nearing the city gate.
Inside the carriage, two burly middle-aged men sat.
They bore a striking resemblance to each other.
They were none other than the brothers Cheng Tianen and Cheng Tianxi.
At this moment, Cheng Tianen, unlike before, had assumed the position of Hall Master of Cloud Tiger Hall, his entire being aglow with a vibrant and vigorous air.
Cheng Tianxi, sitting beside him, had a stern countenance and exuded a terrifying aura of ferocity that felt overwhelmingly oppressive.
His face color was very strange, sometimes deathly pale, at times suffused with an unusual flush.
“Cough cough~”
Suddenly, he coughed violently as if unable to restrain himself, rapidly unscrewed a gourd of liquor, and gulped down a big mouthful of liquid.
In a moment, a faint scent of blood pervaded the carriage.
“Ah~”
After drinking that liquid, Cheng Tianxi let out a sound of relief.
Then, his whole demeanor seemed to become more reined in, calming down.
He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a long sigh of relief.
Cheng Tianen appeared to have long been accustomed to this, advising him softly, “After entering the city, you need to be careful, the smell of blood on you is a bit strong.”
Cheng Tianxi nodded, quickly taking a sachet from the box beside him and stuffing it into his chest, replying, “Don’t worry, brother, I’m aware.”
The strong fragrance of the sachet covered up the smell of blood.
Cheng Tianen reassured himself with a smile, saying, “It’s all my fault, I should never have let you Cultivate the ‘Heavenly Slaughter Blood Sea Technique,’ such a demon Technique.”
But Cheng Tianxi simply smiled indifferently, saying, “Don’t blame yourself, brother, it was my own choice.
With my Talent, I could never have ascended to the One Beast Realm, but now I have become a fearsome master that people respect.”
Cheng Tianen laughed, “We, the brothers, have monopolized Cloud Tiger Hall, becoming the local tyrants of this area.
There are many people on our territory to meet your blood-drinking needs.
As long as you continue your Cultivation, it will be only a matter of time before you surpass me.”
Cheng Tianxi shook his head and sighed, “With your extraordinary Talent, brother, if you hadn’t been plotted against, you would have already broken through to the Three Beasts Realm by now.”
Something seemed to trigger Cheng Tianen’s memory, and his face shifted with emotion.
“I was foolish in the past, determined to be a righteous hero, even if I sought neither fame nor fortune.”
Cheng Tianen snorted with a cold smile, “But I was so wrong.
I witnessed the man I had risked my life to save, killed with just a word from a noble son, and I was powerless to stop it.
That’s when I realized if I wanted to make a difference, I had to climb up, by any means necessary.”
Cheng Tianxi agreed deeply, nodding, “Being a hero can’t save anyone, but if you hold immense power, then you can do whatever you wish.”
Cheng Tianen nodded and said, “I will climb higher, even if it means stooping to the lowest.
One day, I will gain tremendous power and then go on to change this filthy world.”
