Chapter 558 - 559 Over-compensated
"How is it?" He Wenbai asked eagerly as Song Xiaodong emerged.
Song Xiaodong replied, "It should be about right, but the dosage is too small. This time, let’s divide the remaining into two portions and do it again."
Everyone immediately got to work, and after a little over an hour, Song Xiaodong successfully obtained two portions of the medicinal ointment.
After ingesting one portion of the ointment, Song Xiaodong immediately felt a very abundant surge of True Qi.
This True Qi was much more powerful than the one he had consumed before, not just stronger, but even more powerful than the True Qi within his body, and began to rampage within him in an instant, as if his meridians were about to be burst by this force.
This situation was completely unexpected for Song Xiaodong, it was truly alarming.
However, fortunately, Song Xiaodong was also battle-hardened, with a steadfastness of mind that was unrivaled by ordinary people; enduring the pain, he gradually wore down the True Qi from the ointment with his own True Qi.
At first, Song Xiaodong’s True Qi was almost in a passive defense, relying on his strong willpower, Song Xiaodong was not thrown into disarray and bit by bit wore down the True Qi of the ointment.
After a full twenty minutes, he finally reached a stand-off, and Song Xiaodong began to fight back, then started to devour the True Qi; after roughly an hour, Song Xiaodong had completely neutralized the True Qi of the ointment.
By this time Song Xiaodong was drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through, but to his delight, he could finally feel the expansion of his meridians, although not by much, only about twenty percent larger than before, but it was definitely effective.
Twenty percent expansion essentially meant an increase in Song Xiaodong’s strength by twenty percent.
Advancing further when already at the top of a hundred-foot pole, is incredibly difficult. Song Xiaodong had suddenly enhanced his strength by twenty percent, a leap of quality, how could he not be excited, his eyes shining with excitement?
