I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 63 Hundred Kiss Blood Silkworm

in the afternoon.

The live stream had barely started when the chat exploded with comments.

"Hahaha, Wei Tong has been criminally detained and his martial arts school has been shut down! This is truly gratifying!"

"You son of a bitch, Wei Tong! My parents found out I stole money to pay my tuition and then hung me up and beat me! Don't let me run into you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

"What a pity. I was hoping to cultivate to the level of a god, even if it was just one-tenth of that. But as soon as the official announcement came out, my martial arts dream was shattered on the spot."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you'll know it's unreliable. If the Wei Family Fist was really that powerful, it would have been famous long ago without Qi Shen's exposure. It has been lukewarm for so many years, how could it only become known to everyone after Qi Shen came out?"

"It's not just Wei Family Boxing. Various traditional Chinese martial arts, such as Teng Family Boxing and Ma Family Boxing, are said to be incredibly powerful and overwhelm many styles like Sanda and kickboxing. In fact, no one has ever seen them in actual combat. They just use fake videos to promote themselves all day long. What, if you can do it in the video, why can't you do it in real life?"

"It's no wonder that Chinese martial arts are criticized. If you were more humble and honest, like Tai Chi, you could just promote it as a way to improve health. But you have to focus on its lethality and compare it with other styles, without providing any concrete evidence. When asked about competitions, you evade the question, and when you talk about real combat, you say it's easy to injure people and inconvenient to demonstrate. If the public doesn't criticize you, who will?"

"I suggest we thoroughly investigate those martial arts inheritors who are spreading rumors about the power of martial arts, especially those guys who recently liked Wei Laogou's posts on social media. They're all birds of a feather and in cahoots. We should take this opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, so they won't be out here harming people all day long!"

"That's right. If those people were even a hair on Qi Shen's head, they would have been bragging about it long ago. Why would they wait until now? They're just sitting there doing all sorts of publicity and trying to ride on his coattails. It wouldn't be unfair to execute them all."

"It seems that only Qi Shen's martial arts are real, genuine and can actually develop skill. When will Qi Shen start teaching? I can't wait to learn, I'm dying of impatience!"

"Yes, yes, I bought ten durians, just in time to learn how to open them by hand."

"Damn, they're still building that crappy ship. If they have time, they could at least demonstrate the 'Swift Wind Palm' technique."

"Ten thousand people have petitioned in blood to see the Gale Palm!"

"The Gale Palm is the cutest in the world!"

……

Despite the audience's continued complaints, Qi Xuan continued building his ship as if nothing had happened.

The boat was already built; it was just a canoe anyway.

He even made two oars and defensive weapons such as spiked clubs.

With everything prepared, he casually scattered a bunch of bait upstream and downstream to attract the carnivorous fish in the river, and then pushed his canoe into the river.

"Crash".

"Wow."

The river water splashed and rippled.

Although it was just a wooden paddle, with Qi Xuan's immense strength, it almost became an engine, propelling the canoe forward at high speed, covering a quarter of the distance in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, many netizens couldn't help but question the necessity of building the ship:
"Honestly, with Qi Shen's strength, there's no need to build a boat; we can just swim there."

“The shipbuilding took so much time. If we hadn’t built it, yesterday would have passed, and we could have discovered the clues left by the natives in time.”

"Hey, if you ask me, Qi Shen is too cowardly. If I had learned the Gale Palm, forget about building ships, I would just lie across the entire body of water and smash any monster that comes my way with one palm."

……

As they spoke, Qi Xuan was already close to the location of the dark vortex he had observed yesterday.

Before he even got close, he already felt a powerful pulling force.

Fortunately, he was far enough away, and the canoe was maneuverable enough. With a flick of his paddle, the bow of the canoe immediately shifted, preparing to pass through on the other side.

But after walking a short distance, he felt a new pulling force from the upper left corner.

After finally managing to get around it, I felt a pulling sensation coming from three directions ahead.

"Damn! How come there are so many dark vortexes?!"

"Even in the ocean, there wouldn't be so many eddies piled up together."

Qi Xuan was completely numb.

He maneuvered the canoe with all his might, carefully avoiding the eddies and searching for a possible safe route.

After finally managing to avoid the three dark vortices, before they could even feel relieved, something strange happened. The positions of the dark vortices had changed.

The vortex is moving!
"wrong!"

Qi Xuan suddenly realized that something was wrong.

[Spiritual Intuition] suddenly responded with an extremely strong sense of crisis at this moment.

Without saying a word, he immediately started backing up and swimming back.

There's nothing we can do; there are only three whirlpools behind us for now, but there are more than a dozen surging in from the front.

But the eddy was moving much faster than his ship.

They had only retreated a dozen meters when the three dark vortexes that were rapidly approaching from behind suddenly exploded violently.

Suddenly, three gaping maws filled with sharp teeth emerged from the vortex and charged straight at the canoe.

"Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworm!"

Qi Xuan's expression changed drastically.

He had originally planned to attack, but upon seeing that it was the Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworm, he pressed the Vajra Talisman without saying a word and simultaneously activated the Sky-Splitting Leg Experience Card.

Almost as soon as the canoe was torn apart by the three giant snouts, he leaped into the river and kicked his legs like propellers underwater, retreating rapidly.

Even though he applied the advanced leg techniques of the Sky-Splitting Kick to his underwater swimming, his speed still couldn't match that of the ferocious Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworm.

The giant kiss was launched underwater and landed beside him, biting down hard, but because of the Vajra Talisman, it made a crunching sound.

Although his body wasn't bitten off on the spot by the Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworm, the sharp, piercing sound sent chills down Qi Xuan's spine. He felt like he was a piece of porcelain, about to shatter at any moment.

He suppressed his discomfort and slammed his palm against the side of his mouth, using the recoil to propel himself forward.

Along the way, he was bitten several times by the Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworms. Fortunately, he was not far from the shore and finally managed to reach the shore before more of their snouts pounced on him.

Seeing more than twenty sunflower-shaped mouthparts bursting through the water and dancing wildly in the air, Qi Xuan lay on the sand, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

The viewers in the live stream were completely stunned by Qi Xuan's thrilling escape.
"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

"How could such a powerful creature be hiding underwater?!"

"I just learned the Gale Palm technique, and you're telling me I have to deal with this kind of monster? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Thankfully, the canoe blocked the first attack; otherwise, people wouldn't have had time to react and would probably have been dragged down."

"Damn it, how come this floating continent is full of dangers? Even crossing a river is this terrifying, can't we just explore it properly?!"

"It's fortunate that it was Qi Shen. If it were anyone else, even if they had mastered the Gale Palm technique or were carrying a gun, they wouldn't have been able to escape if they suddenly encountered this guy."

"Firearms? Firearms are useless! All it's sticking out is its mouthparts; we don't even know where its main body is hiding. You think you can take it down without heavy weapons like mines?"

"So what do we do next? With this thing blocking the river, can Qi Shen still get across?"

"Go to hell! Even a god couldn't do anything about this guy, better get out of there!"

"Would it take forever to go around that route?"

Is it possible that similar ferocious beasts exist in other sections of the river?

"Damn it, why even bother going south!"

……

Netizens are discussing the issue extensively and expressing deep concern.

Qi Xuan stared at the river, his brows furrowed.

At one point, he suddenly moved.
