Chapter 125 - 93: Qilin True Origin
The fiery power within his body gradually subsided.
The moon rose over the treetops.
A bright moon hung high in the sky!
Countless stars dotted the vast heavens.
In his room, Fang Xing sat on his bed, completely still.
His entire aura grew calm and steady.
Suddenly, Fang Xing’s eyes snapped open. Within his pupils, flames seemed to burn.
"Haaa..."
Exhaling softly, Fang Xing shot to his feet.
His entire body was drenched in sweat!
His clothes clung uncomfortably to his skin.
He stripped off his clothes, walked out of the room, and drew a bucket of cold water from the well in the courtyard, pouring it over himself from head to toe.
"Amazing!"
The douse of cold water instantly made him feel much more invigorated.
Ice-cold well water dripped down his muscles. His entire body was brimming with power.
"Hah!"
He thrust a fist toward the sky. Immense Divine Power erupted as the blow tore through the air, creating a shockwave that blasted a hundred zhang high.
’This punch... it must have at least one hundred thousand jin of power...’
Fang Xing thought to himself.
That single drop of Qilin True Origin had caused a fundamental breakthrough in his Flesh Body.
A transformation of his Flesh Body.
Moreover, and most importantly, his arms seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
They contained astonishing power and were accompanied by an inexplicable aura.
’Could this be the Qilin Arm?’ Fang Xing blinked.
He wasn’t sure, but his arms felt exceptionally powerful.
Besides the increase in strength, he also felt that his meridians and Dantian had expanded.
’This round of enhancement was definitely worth it.’ a thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.
The sheer elevation in power alone...
One hundred thousand jin of Divine Power—the Power of Ten Tigers!
With such Pure Power in his Flesh Body, an ordinary True Qi Realm practitioner couldn’t withstand a single punch from him now.
A crushing advantage in strength!
This was equivalent to breaking through a layer of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, perhaps even greater.
Gazing up at the moon, bathed in its chilly light, Fang Xing summoned his panel to check it.
Name: Fang Xing
Cultivation: True Qi Third Layer!
Enhancement Level: Three-Star (53%)
Enhancement Points: 14,072
’My Enhancement Level is already over fifty percent... By my calculations, I’ll need nearly fifty thousand more Enhancement Points to level up. I wonder what the next self-enhancement will focus on.’
Fang Xing stared at the panel, a flicker of curiosity in his mind.
The first self-enhancement was Comprehension, the second was Perception, and the third was Root Bone.
As for the fourth enhancement, Fang Xing couldn’t predict it; self-enhancements were random.
There was no way to choose what to enhance.
’Nearly fifty thousand Enhancement Points... I still need to work hard.’ Fang Xing gazed at the bright moon, then began to stretch his limbs.
The Qilin True Origin had left him full of energy, as if he had an inexhaustible supply of strength.
After practicing several of his Martial Arts, Fang Xing finally went inside to rest.
...
「Several days passed in the blink of an eye.」
Inside his room in the courtyard, Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes.
’I never expected that this drop of Qilin True Origin would also speed up my absorption of Heaven and Earth Qi.’
Fang Xing was slightly surprised.
Ever since consuming that drop of Qilin True Origin, he felt his Cultivation had sped up by thirty percent over the past few days.
It wasn’t just a change in his Cultivation; his body, especially his arms, could now unleash even more astonishing Divine Power.
In just a few days, his strength had climbed to one hundred and ten thousand jin of Divine Power.
He had increased his strength by another Power of One Tiger.
The transformation of his Flesh Body was even greater than he had anticipated.
’I wonder if I’ll run into Treasure Blood like this again... It’d be great to get some more.’
Fang Xing sighed to himself.
The power of a single drop of Qilin True Origin was so potent; if he absorbed more, his strength would surely skyrocket.
Although the process of absorbing the Qilin True Origin was painful, it was worth suffering a little for such a huge improvement.
’Today’s the day. I need to go meet up with Nangong Qing.’
Composing himself, Fang Xing quickly washed up. He changed into a brand-new set of black Brocade Clothing, picked up a gift-wrapped box containing a Jade Artifact, and headed out.
At the entrance of the Marshal’s Mansion.
Fang Xing arrived at the same time as Shen Ye.
"Let’s head inside. Uncle Qing should be here soon," Shen Ye said.
Fang Xing nodded, and he and Shen Ye stepped into the Marshal’s Mansion.
A Steward in the mansion received them, and the two waited in the main hall.
A short while later, Nangong Qing appeared, dressed in a purple robe.
"Uncle Qing."
The two rose and bowed.
Nangong Qing nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two. When his eyes landed on Fang Xing, they paused for a moment, a hint of surprise on his face.
"You broke through?"
Fang Xing nodded. "Yes, Uncle Qing. I just broke through a few days ago."
Hearing this, Nangong Qing nodded with a smile. "Mm, not bad. Your progress is quite fast. I believe it won’t be long before you might become the number one person beneath the Marshals."
’The number one person beneath the Marshals...’
Hearing this, Fang Xing just smiled and said nothing.
That goal was still far from his current reach.
To be number one beneath the Marshals, one would have to be at the True Qi Great Perfection realm at the very least.
The gap was still immense.
"Uncle Qing, are we heading over now?"
Shen Ye asked from the side.
Nangong Qing nodded. "Yes. By the time we get there, it should be about time."
"Let’s go."
With that, Nangong Qing started walking out of the hall, the Steward following close behind with the gift box.
Fang Xing and Shen Ye immediately followed.
Leaving the Marshal’s Mansion.
The three of them headed out of the Observatory.
Today’s birthday celebration would surely be a grand affair, a gathering of masters.
The Marshal Level experts from all four squadrons were required to attend.
Other than Nangong Qing, Fang Xing had never met any of the other Marshals.
He hadn’t even met the Vice Marshal of their own division.
