Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 122 So what exactly is our relationship now?

It's Jiangcheng!

Saved!

A wave of joy washed over Jiang Feng, instantly dispelling the gloom he felt after being transported to the wasteland!

Going to Jiangcheng means that he and Zhang Ruanruan can take the maglev train back to Lancheng!

I wonder what happened to the others after the contaminated area incident?

Just as he was about to continue examining the star map, the entire mirage beneath his feet suddenly trembled slightly.

Jiang Feng suddenly turned around.

His eyes, however, showed not worry, but joy.

Because he sensed an extremely pure aura of water.

"A breakthrough?"

He quickly put away the stone slab and rushed downstairs.

When Jiang Feng rushed back to the second floor, the entire space was filled with a light blue glow.

He felt as if he were in the middle of the ocean.

Zhang Ruanruan sat cross-legged in front of him.

Her blood and qi surged, but instead of the murky crimson of ordinary martial artists, they faintly shone with a clear blue-white luster.

Then, Jiang Feng saw it.

The starlight power that he could only perceive in the air was now atomized and was being drawn into Zhang Ruanruan's body like a vortex.

Her skin had a very faint sheen.

The light was not dazzling.

Clear, gentle, and dust-free.

It looks like glass.

Jiang Feng stood at the top of the stairs, his heart trembling slightly. He murmured, "Bone shatters like dust, dissolves into flesh and blood, clear inside and out."

"A body of crystal?"

However, Zhang Ruanruan's current state is somewhat different from his understanding of the Glass Body.

He recalled what Fang Ruo had once said: "Another method is to forcibly replace the blood of a supreme expert into the body and force all of this blood into the bones for absorption. As long as one can endure the pain of this blood exchange, the blood and bones can also fuse together, giving rise to the essence of crystal."

Zhang Ruanruan walked this very path.

Instead of forcibly shattering and reforging her bones, she used the power of the Purifying Water Bone to absorb all the Star Marrow into her bones, allowing the bones and Star Marrow to fully fuse together.

In addition, she was born with an innate, immaculate body. With all these conditions combined, she finally broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm.

She continuously absorbed the power of the star marrow within her body until it dissipated.

The stains on her face caused by the burning by Ktugya were gradually purified by the cleansing water, and in no time, her face returned to its original whiteness.

The light returned to her eyes.

In the depths of his crimson pupils, a fleeting glimmer of starlight seemed to appear.

"call..

'

She let out a breath.

The breath landed in the air and condensed into a wisp of white mist, which then dissipated in an instant.

"It worked?"

Jiang Feng asked.

Zhang Ruanruan looked down at her hands.

Her palms were fair, her fingers slender, and there was a subtle, glassy sheen beneath her skin.

"I guess so."

She said softly, "The power contained within directly helped me advance from the seventh level of Body Tempering to the Qi and Blood Realm, and also helped me condense the Glazed Body, but..."

A hint of regret appeared on her face. "The energy required for the Dao Bone to transform into the Saint Bone is more than I imagined. My martial arts aptitude still hasn't broken through. I estimate... I'm still about halfway there."

Jiang Feng smiled and comforted him, "This is not bad either. Saint bones are not easy to obtain. Besides, you even managed to get out of the Body Tempering Extreme Realm with it."

"Mm." Zhang Ruanruan smiled as well. "I understand. I'm very content."

After explaining her situation, she asked Jiang Feng, "How's things going on your end?"

"oh oh."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng recounted everything he had just witnessed.

5 minute later.

"Star Chart, a high-grade Saint-level cultivation technique!"

Zhang Ruanruan was also surprised.

"Are you sure it's that level of cultivation technique?" She was still somewhat skeptical. "That kind of technique, let alone in the Southern Star Region, you probably wouldn't find more than a handful in the entire empire, right? You got it so easily?"

"It's a fragment, a fragment."

Jiang Feng added, took the book out of his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Ruanruan.

The latter stood there without moving, nor did he reach out to take it.

"Hmm?" Jiang Feng asked, puzzled.

To everyone's surprise, after a struggle flashed in Zhang Ruanruan's eyes, she shook her head fiercely and took a half step back, as if to shut out the temptation.

"Keep it yourself. As for our relationship..."

'

She paused, swallowing back the part she was about to say, "Our relationship isn't that good," because she felt it wasn't a question of whether the relationship was good or bad.

"We are close friends. If it were me at the Voodoo Sect that day, I would have saved you without hesitation. But even so, even close friends and spouses are fragile in the face of this level of cultivation."

"Stop testing me," Jiang Feng said half-jokingly. "This technique doesn't restrict viewing to one person only, wouldn't it be better if we looked at it together?"

"No, no, no." Zhang Ruanruan waved her hands vigorously and said seriously, "I can't accept something for nothing. If you hadn't mentioned the concept of a mirage, we wouldn't have risked coming here. It's already a great blessing that I was able to break through and fully recover here. You should keep this technique."

Jiang Feng:

'

"What if I told you that taking it would increase our chances of survival?" Jiang Feng was still persistent, and asked one last question, seemingly still clinging to something.

Zhang Ruanruan replied, "First, your statement is invalid. This technique is more of a functional skill and is not suitable for me, nor can I learn it."

"Secondly, even if it were really as you say, a cultivation technique that suits me, I would still refuse it, because I can't get over this hurdle in my heart."

Oh, you're quite stubborn.

Ignoring Jiang Feng's inner thoughts, Zhang Ruanruan calmly said, "If I can overcome this hurdle in my heart in the future, it means that our relationship is even better than what I just mentioned about close friends, spouses... and then I will take the initiative to ask you for it."

She spoke with unusual calmness, without any girlish shyness or arrogance, nor any ambiguity, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

In fact, Zhang Ruanruan herself is this kind of person.

Even if you actually start dating her one day (who? Me?), and it's over, she'll just calmly ask you how you felt?

"??????"

Jiang Feng was stunned when he heard this.

What are you talking about?

Isn't this a high-martial arts world where decisive killing is the norm?

Why is there still a hidden corner for wood to be developed?

Fast forward to the moment she finished speaking, the system flashed with golden light and updated to a favorability system, then said to itself, "Host, please complete your strategy to win her over!"

and also.

Although he knew it was wrong to say that, he couldn't help himself and asked, "So what exactly is our relationship now?"
