As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

Chapter 99 Lu Tianzhuang

"The crimson color—is it not simply elemental energy?"

Shen Qing frowned slightly.

Normal Yuan Qi should be a relatively transparent color after it settles in the Qi Sea, and it shouldn't be so aggressive.

Even though it was weakened, he could still feel a force surging within his body, but it was too weak and was easily suppressed.

Blood is the essence of the human body, and the main function of blood and qi is to temper the body, so it cannot be used as an offensive means.

Once a certain level of power is reached, the portion of power possessed can be transformed through the Qi Sea, and this is Yuan Power.

At this stage, strength will not increase significantly, but elemental energy can leave the body.

Once you can project your Yuan Power outwards, both your physical attack and defense will be greatly enhanced, and you can even block attacks from the soul.

The situation where those with physical supernatural powers were at a disadvantage has begun to change.

This is the first watershed moment. Although it's not very big yet, without some special methods, anyone below the seventh rank will be completely crushed.

Shen Qing was naturally aware of this, and with a thought, Gui Ma was summoned.

A surge of yin energy erupted, and a ghostly horse covered in eerie green flames emerged from the air, its flaming hooves heading straight for Big Zhuang Ge Rui.

"Goblin!"

Big Zhuang was initially surprised that Shen Qing had managed to block his attack without sustaining any injuries.

Looking at the suddenly appearing ghost horse, he was even more shocked. This kid had too many tricks up his sleeve.

I didn't see him use any talismans either.

He had no time to dwell on these things; the fiery hooves so close at hand had already made his soul feel a little uncomfortable.

Big Zhuang instinctively swung his palm.

A blood-red palm wind pierced through the air, and the ninth-rank Ghost Horse was naturally powerless to resist, and was directly scattered into ghostly flames.

But Shen Qing was still standing there, waiting for this opportunity.

He manipulated the earth and rocks to climb up his legs, instantly enveloping himself. Although it was not as powerful as Xie Chong's stone armor, it still managed to trigger a 1.1x amplification.

Black, malevolent energy coiled around his fists.

Shen Qing suddenly charged forward and punched Big Zhuang in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

Big Zhuang had no time to defend himself and took the punch head-on. Even with his Yuan Power protecting him, his expression changed.

Not only did Shen Qing's strength increase significantly compared to before, but a baleful aura also seeped into his Yuan Power protective body, affecting his soul as well.

"A malevolent aura?"

A solemn look flashed in Big Zhuang's eyes. The blood-red Yuan Power on his body was the product of the fusion of Yuan Power and evil energy.

But the malevolent energy is also different. This kid actually has the kind of Yin malevolent energy that ghosts and monsters possess, which counteracts his blood malevolent energy.

And after being covered by earth and rocks, its power actually increased. What kind of monster is this?

The situation is completely different from what he expected, given that he is only an eighth-rank official. It seems that it is no longer possible to defeat his opponent as soon as possible. His ability is recovery-type, which will not have much impact on the battle.

"No, we have to leave."

Big Zhuang realized that if this dragged on any longer, the imperial court of this world would probably surround him.

"Kid, my name is Lu Tianzhuang. I'll remember you! Next time, I won't hold back!"

After uttering those harsh words, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Trying to run away now?"

Shen Qing raised an eyebrow at the direction the other person had disappeared in, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately followed.

He couldn't beat the other party, but it wouldn't be easy for the other party to get rid of him either. He couldn't just take the beating without getting any information.

Moreover, the other party might not even be able to spot him.

A few minutes later.

Relying on [Gecko Swimming] and [Swallow Soaring], Shen Qing kept weaving through the alleys, barely managing to keep up with Lu Tianzhuang.

The opponent is too fast. [Gecko Swim] needs to cover itself and its body surface area must be in contact with more than 50% of the object.

That means he needs to keep walking close to the wall.

Following Zhang Yu, an ordinary person, was easy before, but now he was facing a seventh-rank supernatural being.

Just when Shen Qing was about to be exhausted.

Finally, they arrived near a residential area with decent greenery. Lu Tianzhuang suddenly turned around, while Shen Qing, leaning against the wall, dared not move.

I don't know if I've been discovered, but I feel like the other person's gaze has swept over the entire area.

Then, the person suddenly disappeared.

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he couldn't follow him anymore, lest he be ambushed later.

He looked at the neighborhood in front of him, took out his phone, and before he could even dial a number, he saw another message from Fang Shu.

Previously, Shen Qing had noticed Lu Tianzhuang ahead of time, except for the unusually obvious aura above the other's head.

He stopped his electric scooter to check his phone because his team leader had called, having already sent him several messages reminding him to be careful.

However, while riding the bike, Shen Qing didn't notice at first.

After the logistics department arrived at the residence of the Dharma Protector, although they did not find the surveillance footage left by Lu Tianzhuang, they installed new real-time surveillance cameras.

This is to prevent any future incidents, in case someone comes back here.

After replying with a message that she was fine, Shen Qing reported her current location.

Soon, Fang Shu arrived with his men. It turned out that they had found the female knight-errant shortly after Shen Qing left.

"How was it? Shen Qingtang said on the phone that this was a seventh-rank official, and you still dared to chase after him?"

Fang Shu's eyes were full of surprise and concern. "Are you hurt?"

He knew all too well the strength of a seventh-rank demon. The reason he was able to defeat a seventh-rank demon was because he had teammates to cooperate with him.

In a one-on-one fight, one's talents and abilities might not even have time to be displayed, or rather, would be difficult to utilize, before being suppressed.

"It's alright, I just took a hit, I've recovered."

Shen Qing shook his head and recounted the details of tracking Lu Tianzhuang, including the location where he last disappeared.

Fang Shu nodded. "Leave the rest to the logistics department; that's their specialty."

"But what exactly is your current strength? Completed Twelve Meridians?"

His gaze fell on Shen Qing, and he couldn't help but shake his head, as if he were talking nonsense.

Normally, it takes four months to open all twelve meridians, but Shen Qing has only been at the eighth rank for less than a month.

"Six articles."

"Six, just as expected." Fang Shu nodded subconsciously, but only realized what he meant halfway through his sentence, his eyes widening in surprise.

"What?! Six?"

Compared to his previous impossible guesses, this result was even more outrageous. In one month, or more precisely, twenty days, Shen Qing had opened up six proper meridians.

Not to mention them, even those I've only occasionally heard Li Jianghan mention, their region has top-tier geniuses aided by various elixirs.

If we get to the proper speed, it won't be much faster than this by more than a few days.

But here, even the most basic Meridian Opening Pill isn't provided casually; it requires contribution points to exchange for it.

"Good, good lad—"

Fang Shu shook his head. "You should go back and rest first. You've worked hard today. I suggest you wait and see how things go."

The same event can accumulate and benefit your future promotion.

Also, I really want to see your true strength during training tomorrow.

Watching Shen Qing and his companion's retreating figures, he murmured, "If we can contend with a seventh-rank expert now, what about a month from now?"

Fang Shu was somewhat afraid to think that Shen Qing's strength had improved too quickly.
