I teach judo in Tokyo.

Fu Hua nodded silently: "Since you have made arrangements, I naturally won't spoil the fun."

"Then, it's feasible for you to be in the open and I to remain in the shadows, conducting investigations along two parallel lines..."

Fu Hua thought for a moment, then said to Zong Jie, "Over the next few days, I plan to talk to some other acquaintances and see if I can get a few helpers."

“That would be excellent, after all, according to what you said…” Sosuke raised his chin, “this is a situation that could potentially overturn the world, and it would be too weak for just the two of us.”

"Hmm." Fu Hua nodded calmly.

Then she stared at Sosuke for a long time.

"in addition......"

Her gaze flickered as she looked at Sosuke, and she seemed hesitant to speak.

Finally, she made up her mind and said, "Lord Atobe, the 'qi' you used to counter me just now far surpassed my level, both in quality and quantity."

"I'd like to know, for you, is this amount of 'Qi' considered a lot or a little?"

Sousuke's gaze sharpened: "Isn't this my privacy?"

Fu Hua lowered his eyes.

Asking someone for their hand is certainly not polite.

However, she did have her own purpose.

"I..." Fu Hua's lips moved, "I want to..."

This girl, who had always been serious and composed, and who remained unfazed even when faced with the threat of Sosuke's death, seemed a little shy at this moment.

Sosuke looked at her suspiciously: "What else do you want to say? Don't keep it to yourself."

"Perhaps this is presumptuous, but I would like to ask you for some 'Qi'..."

The girl's eyes flickered, her gaze meeting his briefly before abruptly averting.

Sosuke frowned slightly, somewhat taken aback.

"You're giving this away?"

Fu Hua turned his head and said in a low voice, "I can give... but it might cause you some harm."

Sosuke scratched his head: "How do I give it to you?"

“Since the decline of the extraordinary and the inability to directly absorb ‘extraordinary factors’ from the world, I have been searching for a method. Although I have made some progress, the results have been extremely low,” Fu Hua said softly.

"Most importantly, even though I can extract 'Qi' transformed from the essence of life from daily activities such as food and exercise, the 'amount' is simply too small. This tiny amount of 'Qi' dissipates by more than 90% before it can even be transported to the 'Dantian' area, leaving an extremely thin amount."

Fu Hua glanced at Zong Jie: "The wisp of 'Qi' I just transmitted to you to make you believe me is actually more than 30% of all the Qi I've accumulated over the years."

"Thirty percent?" Sosuke scratched his head.

Just that little bit?

It's not even enough for what I save up in a day.

This is just too rubbish!

Sosuke once again realized the power of the system's techniques.

"I do have some 'Qi' left. If you really want some, as an ally, providing some wouldn't be out of the question..."

"Enough with the talk, Fu Hua. How do you plan to absorb my 'Qi'? And..." Sosuke's eyes darkened, "What price are you prepared to pay for this Qi?"

"If possible, give me some of your blood." Fu Hua's expression was calm. "You can ask for anything—money, power, or even martial arts and swordsmanship; I have some knowledge in all of them."

"Blood?" Sosuke frowned.

“Your blood contains a portion of your body’s essence. After I drink and refine it, I can obtain far more ‘Qi’ than ordinary living beings can.” Fu Hua said softly.

Sosuke shook his head: "I don't want to bleed for nothing."

Fu Hua seemed to have anticipated Sōsuke's refusal. She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "If you are unwilling to give your blood, then... give me something similar to blood... that will also be acceptable."

Something similar to blood?

Sosuke's filthy mind immediately conjured up many unpleasant thoughts.

Then, he shook his head, looked directly at the girl in front of him, and said hesitantly, "Then I'll give you some blood."

"Really? If possible, that would be wonderful!" Fu Hua's eyes lit up slightly.

"Hmm... But remember, you owe me a favor."

“Okay.” Fu Hua nodded seriously, then said earnestly, “If you need anything from me, just let me know, and I’ll do it if I can.”

“Alright…” Sosuke thought for a moment, then didn’t rush to state his request.

The other party was an ancient monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

I don't know how many things I've seen.

It possesses a wealth of cultural heritage.

Making friends with this person will definitely not be a bad thing.

Perhaps, in the future, if there are any matters related to "extraordinary" things, you can consult her for guidance.

It's definitely much easier than figuring it out on your own.

After all, he couldn't rely solely on the UR techniques provided by the system to use "extraordinary factors" forever.

These factors must also have many other amazing aspects.

Thinking this, Sosuke reached out and took the teacup that Fuka was drinking from.

Fu Hua paused for a moment, then asked, "Why are you holding the cup?"

Sousuke smiled slightly: "Bloodletting, how much do you want?"

Fu Hua immediately stopped him: "The 'qi' in blood dissipates rapidly once it leaves the body; it would be such a waste."

Sosuke paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "What should we do then?"

Fu Hua sighed, looked directly at Sōsuke, and said, "If possible, could you make a wound so I can absorb it directly?"

emmmm......

Sosuke thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, if you don't find it strange..."

As he spoke, he held out his palm and asked, "Do you have a knife? If not, I'll go look for one in the kitchen."

“Yes…” Fu Hua silently drew a dagger, then reached out and grasped Zong Jie’s hand, glancing at him.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I'll make a small incision on your finger. If possible, please direct your Qi here..."

Sosuke smiled and nodded, then activated the Yin Seal and began to try to use his mind to move a tiny bit of "Qi" to the corresponding position, following the method that Fu Hua had instructed him to do beforehand.

Fu Hua composed himself and lightly sliced ​​open a small gash on Sousuke's left index finger with a sharp knife.

Blood immediately seeped out.

Fu Hua glanced at Sosuke, then decisively lowered his head and put his index finger in his mouth.

The next second, she immediately felt the "surging" "Qi" in Sosuke's blood!

really!

As she was deeply shaken, she immediately moved this "qi" to the nearest point between her eyebrows, her sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the upper dantian. If it weren't for the fact that it's too far from the stomach, causing excessive loss during transmission, this would actually be the most suitable dantian location for storing "qi"...

In just that one moment, more than half of the "Qi" she had just transferred to Sosuke was replenished.

Although it was just a tiny, insignificant amount compared to my own time tens of thousands of years ago when "supernatural factors" were abundant.

However, in this "magic-free" era, this tiny amount would require her to painstakingly refine it for many years to accumulate!

Just as Tianjizi, the leader of the Tianji Sect, had said...

This solo trip will bring you great opportunities.

And this man named Atobe Sousuke was her destined opportunity!

Chapter 335 Qi Circulation Technique

The glitz and glamour don't just disappear immediately.

She stayed at Sosuke's house for three days, drinking some of Sosuke's blood each day, which in total absorbed about half a month's worth of Sosuke's "Qi" generation.

Correspondingly, she also taught Sosuke a very precious "Qi circulation method" during these few days.

According to her, by using this method to control "Qi", one can make it work to some extent.

For example, when Sosuke first obtained the Yin Seal and was able to store "Qi", he had already experimented with it many times.

Whether he throws a punch, kicks a kick, or uses SR-level or SSR-level skills, the "Qi" in the Yin Seal does not provide any bonus to his combat skills.

Before he acquired UR-level skills, the "Qi" stored between his eyebrows could indeed be moved to various parts of his body according to his will.

However, it's like two different dimensions; although they overlap, they can't affect reality in any way.

Without using UR techniques, the only effect of "Qi" on him is to passively return his stamina to him at a high rate when he is about to run out of strength.

It's different now.

After learning the "Qi Circulation Method", Atobe Sousuke was finally able to effectively use "Qi".

To put it in the simplest terms—the "Qi" stored by the Yin Seal for him is in AVI format, while his own body can only recognize MP4 format files.

Under such circumstances, even if Sosuke was extremely eager and wanted to ejaculate, his player, which could only recognize MP4 format, could not play AVI format Qi.

The "Qi Circulation Method" is a format converter—it can actively transform Qi into energy that the body can recognize.

That is, actively transforming "qi" into something similar to "strength and physical strength".

With the "Qi Circulation Technique," Sousuke can now significantly enhance the lethality of his normal punches and kicks, and even SR and SSR-level techniques, by adding "Qi."

The only problem is that the energy loss is quite high, about the same as the energy loss when returning "Qi" to physical strength.

According to Fu Hua, using "Qi" in this way is actually a rather low-level practice.

If it were in the ancient times when "extraordinary factors" were free, she would have created a unique skill called "Tai Xu Sword Technique," which could unleash exceptionally powerful moves by consuming "Qi."

In other words, to maximize the effect of "Qi", one must use techniques that specifically use "Qi" as an energy source.

For example, Atobe Sousuke's other UR skills.

Three days later, seeing that Sosuke was able to use the "Qi Circulation Method" quite skillfully, and that she herself had absorbed a certain amount of "Qi", Fu Hua bid farewell to Sosuke.

Seeing that she was finally leaving, Sosuke breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "It's a good thing you're leaving, otherwise I would have had to find an excuse to get rid of you. You can really eat!"

He was indeed afraid.

He had only accumulated enough Qi for three months, but Fu Hua drank his blood for a few days, which consumed half a month's worth of his accumulated Qi.

What if we keep drinking like this for a few more days?

I'm a little embarrassed by how flashy I am.

She said softly, "I'm sorry, I was a little greedy because I wanted to save up enough to use even the minimum level of 'form' once."

"So, have you saved enough?" Sosuke asked curiously.

“Well, the current amount of ‘Qi’ stored up is barely enough to make out one move, ‘Opening Sword Form’.” Fu Hua nodded.

"Should we inhale more?" Sosuke regretted his words as soon as he said them, wishing he could slap himself.

Fu Hua stared at him for a moment, his gaze lingering on the Yin seal on his forehead, before shaking his head: "This is the Age of 'No Law,' and the art I cultivate is not suited for storing too much 'Qi' in the body, so this amount is already the limit. Anyway, thank you."

"See you in the main competition."

After saying this, she bowed to Sosuke and turned to leave the dojo.

......

Sousuke Atobe had just bid farewell to Fu Hua not long ago.

The next day, January 4th.

The first disciple who couldn't stand the loneliness ran back.

At that time, Sosuke was practicing martial arts in the snowy courtyard.
