Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Learning that Shui Yun had arrived.

Tang Wen hastily rinsed himself off and went to the reception hall.

The hall was a building.

Shui Yun stood on the balcony, looking down.

Tang Wen, watching her graceful figure, felt a stirring in his heart and tiptoed closer.

Suddenly, he tightly embraced her slender waist from behind.

The thin clothing couldn't conceal the amazing elasticity.

If she were to twist!

Hiss.

Don't think about it, don't think about it.

"Guess who I am?" Tang Wen said with a smirk.

Shui Yun chuckled. As a transcendent martial artist, she knew Tang Wen was coming up the stairs before he even arrived.

Turning around, she saw a pair of mischievous eyes rapidly enlarging before her.

"Mmm."

After a while, they both felt something was amiss.

They had to separate with great willpower.

Shui Yun was very pleased with Tang Wen's performance in the mansion—eyes everywhere, showing no interest in other women but only entangled with her.

But at the same time, she felt a little sorry for him: "The women I chose for you, you didn't like any of them?"

Tang Wen bent over, burying his head in her black hair: "Once I become transcendent, I will take a hundred concubines! A hundred!"

"Haha," Shui Yun held his hand, her eyes teasing, and bit his earlobe: "Remember your boastful words."

This enchantress!

His ears tingled, and the pores on Tang Wen's back opened up: "Cultivation! I'm going to cultivate now! I'll become transcendent tomorrow."

Shui Yun praised with a smile: "Junior brother is truly a man who does great things!"

Tang Wen retorted: "So, senior sister's nickname is Great Things!"

Shui Yun was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Tang Wen glared at her, turned around, and pulled her away from the balcony.

Shui Yun came to replenish Tang Wen's body.

"Junior brother, don't just focus on tempering your mental strength; your body needs to keep up."

"What do you mean my body can't keep up? Slander! You have no idea how strong I am!" Tang Wen glared.

Shui Yun coaxed him with a smile: "Alright, alright! Here, these are three complete portions of transcendent blood marrow. All fresh."

Tang Wen stared at the box on the ground: "I can eat it raw!"

Transcendent blood marrow is more effective when eaten raw, but the medicinal power is too strong, and even most transcendents can't handle it.

If it's refined into pills or potions, the medicinal power is milder, and ordinary martial masters can digest it.

But for Tang Wen, the medicinal power of pills is too weak to be of any use.

"Are you sure you don't want it refined into pills?"

Tang Wen opened the wooden box, directly picked up a bottle, and poured it down his throat.

"Hey! Spit it out! That's senior transcendent blood marrow!"

Shui Yun grabbed Tang Wen, but it was too late.

Once the transcendent blood marrow was swallowed, it felt like molten lava down his throat.

It burned directly from his throat into his internal organs, then spread throughout his body.

Heat steamed from his body through his clothes.

"Get ice! Quick!"

Shui Yun's pretty face was frosty.

Tang Wen's face was flushed red, and he had only one thought: Careless!

This blood marrow wasn't just from a senior transcendent beast; it was a fire-attribute transcendent beast!

There are thousands of kinds of beasts.

Among them, fire-attribute transcendent beasts have fiery personalities and fire abilities, and the medicinal power produced by their blood marrow is equally explosive.

The heat was like fire, filling his limbs and bones.

Just as Shui Yun didn't know what to do.

Tang Wen's experience panel flashed.

His powerful physique, once damaged, naturally began to frantically absorb the medicinal power in the blood marrow to compensate.

The situation visibly improved.

The burning sensation gradually dissipated, and after a few minutes, it turned into a warm and comfortable feeling.

If the previous crazy medicinal power was like a female transcendent taking drugs, frantically exploiting her mount!

Now that the medicinal power was subdued, it was like a top courtesan in a brothel getting a hundred taels of gold, wholeheartedly serving and showing all the tenderness in the world.

[Body: 11.99 → 12.30]

Increased by 0.31.

And one bottle of blood marrow is one-tenth of an entire transcendent beast.

Tang Wen opened his eyes, hugged Shui Yun, who looked angry, and spun around.

"Senior sister is too good to me! I can't repay this great kindness; I can only offer myself."

Shui Yun hadn't calmed down yet and snorted: "Too reckless!"

Tang Wen was at a loss for words and held her tightly.

They were affectionate for a while.

Shui Yun's anger subsided.

Tang Wen told her how he felt after taking it.

Shui Yun suggested: "Then divide one bottle into three servings in the future. Or eat it three days later."

"Three days later?"

Shui Yun explained: "These are blood marrow extracted from beasts killed this morning. The medicinal power will weaken a lot after three days."

"Then I must within three days… Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Wen was pinched and begged for mercy. Why do all women pinch people: "Look, senior sister, you gave me all three transcendent blood marrows. Won't you offend a bunch of people again?"

Shui Yun released his earlobe, rubbed it, and said disdainfully: "We've already offended them by occupying the Azure Stone Slab. We might as well take all these transcendent blood marrows."

"Senior sister has offended so many people for me, and I've taken all the benefits. If I can't finish eating them within three days, wouldn't I be letting you down."

After speaking, he kissed her fair cheek fiercely.

The fishy smell of blood marrow still lingered in his mouth. Shui Yun frowned but didn't dodge.

She thought about it and was still worried. She grabbed Tang Wen's pulse and checked for a long time, and when she saw there was nothing unusual: "Call a doctor!"

Seeing her resolute tone, Tang Wen had no choice but to agree.

Soon, a transcendent doctor arrived.

He looked middle-aged but was actually eighty-six years old.

Hearing that Tang Wen had swallowed "the blood marrow of a senior transcendent beast" raw, the old man was very surprised.

He immediately asked Tang Wen to perform the Black Night Divine Fist to see if the strength was running smoothly and if there was any damage to the meridians.

He also used his own Water Department technique to check Tang Wen's spine up and down.

After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing wrong, he left with peace of mind.

But Shui Yun was still worried. She told him many things and finally said:

"A month later, there will be a gang meeting. I'll come to pick you up."

After seeing her off, Tang Wen returned to the house and had people prepare an ice water tub.

He wanted to drink the transcendent blood marrow immediately!

Another bottle down.

In the ice water, his body temperature rose rapidly.

The ice melted, reducing the burning sensation.

When his body temperature returned to normal and his body returned to calm.

He summoned the experience panel to take a look.

[Body: 12.30 → 12.51]

Only increased by 0.21.

Did drug tolerance come so quickly?

No.

Whoosh!

He stood up, took the towel from the maid, wiped himself roughly, and went to the practice room to practice the Black Night Divine Fist.

Various visualization methods, visualized over and over again.

The remaining medicinal strength in his body slowly entered the root marrow with the visualization movements.

Starting from the lumbar spine, there was a slight tingling.

That feeling was like an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner adjusting your bones.

Painful and happy.

After practicing the Black Night Divine Fist dozens of times.

The medicinal power was completely released and absorbed.

The experience panel values flashed:

[Body: 12.51 → 12.56]

[Transcendent Ability: Darkness (Awakening Progress 11.29% → 11.37%)]

The increase in physique was expected.

The increase in the degree of dark ability awakening was a complete surprise.

Does the medicinal power of transcendent blood marrow also have the effect of enhancing abilities?

Hmm.

Why didn't senior sister mention it?

Instead, the doctor was afraid that I would hurt my root marrow.

Could it be that the danger of eating transcendent blood marrow raw lies here?

Ordinary transcendents don't have such a strong physique.

If the body can't quickly absorb a large amount of medicinal power, then the violent medicinal strength will rush into the root marrow.

The root marrow is as fragile as tofu.

Once damaged, it is difficult to repair.

This is the biggest reason why martial masters and transcendents generally don't eat transcendent blood marrow raw.

Some people say, can't you eat it in small sips?

The problem is that their speed of absorbing medicinal power is not that fast either.

Small sips, a small amount of medicinal power quickly shuttles through the body, rushing around.

Within a few minutes, it will travel along the blood vessels to the bone marrow.

It will still cause damage, but the damage is only a little smaller.

It is possible that the damage is too slight to be noticed immediately.

It makes people mistakenly believe that they can withstand the medicinal power.

As a result, more and more damage is caused, eventually leading to irreversible consequences.

Ability regression and backlash are considered light.

More serious consequences may be paralysis or even a vegetative state.

Thinking clearly about these tricks.

Tang Wen was much more careful when drinking blood marrow.

According to Shui Yun's instructions, he only drank one-third each time.

The interval between doses was also longer.

In this way, the body absorbed it faster.

The remaining medicinal power was used to stimulate the root marrow using the Black Night Divine Fist series of visualization methods.

To achieve the effect of enhancing dark abilities.

In one day, one-sixth of the three portions of blood marrow brought by Shui Yun was gone.

One portion of blood marrow is ten bottles.

That is to say, Tang Wen drank five bottles in one day.

Theoretically, it can increase the physique by 1.5.

However, some of the medicinal power acted on the root marrow, increasing the degree of ability awakening.

So, it increased the physique attribute by about 1.2 in total.

[Body: 13.2]

[Transcendent Ability: Darkness (Awakening Progress 15.10%)]

When the first bottle was drunk, the transcendent ability did not increase at all.

The second bottle only increased by 0.08%.

This shows that the medicinal power of the first bottle was completely absorbed by Tang Wen's body.

When the second bottle was used, a small part remained, stimulating the root marrow and affecting the transcendent ability.

The third bottle increased by 0.96, indicating that more residual medicinal power remained;

The fourth and fifth bottles followed suit.

Finally, it increased the awakening degree by almost four points.

"Crack"

"Crash"

At the dining table, Tang Wen broke the large porcelain bowl in his hand, and the rice porridge spilled all over the floor.

The female housekeeper and Liang Yu each grabbed one of his hands to help him stand up.

"Is your hand okay?"

"We'll change to iron bowls tomorrow!"

The maid stepped forward to clean up.

Tang Wen shook his head: The strength is growing too fast, out of control.

After eating.

He found two weapons and went to the garden.

One was a three-hundred-pound heavy knife.

The other was a light bamboo knife.

He raised the heavy knife and slashed it down.

Three thin branches were cut off in the bushes.

Liang Yu and the female housekeeper were full of curiosity.

They didn't understand what he was doing.

Tang Wen shook his head and slashed again, and two thin branches fell to the ground.

He sighed.

With his expert-level swordsmanship and control, he couldn't even cut a thin branch?

Slash, slash, slash!

The knife light flickered.

After several rounds of breaking wind knife.

Tang Wen regained his feel.

Buzzing

In the garden, bees flew by.

Tang Wen's ears twitched, he listened to the sound and identified the position, the knife light flashed, and with a buzz, the bee plunged into the flowers.

Two crystal wings were carried into the air by the breeze.

Turning around, Tang Wen picked up the bamboo knife.

The bamboo knife is long and narrow, a bit like a Tang knife.

But the hardness and material cannot be compared with the Tang knife.

Only a thin layer of bamboo as the main body, and at the blade, the bamboo is as thin as paper.

Put the bamboo knife back into the scabbard.

Whoosh!

Draw the knife.

A piece of rockery was cut into pieces horizontally.

The bamboo knife was also broken into pieces, like dancing butterflies.

"Go get a bamboo knife."

A bundle of bamboo knives was sent.

Bamboo knives are commonly used by knife masters to practice swordsmanship. They are not difficult to find and are not valuable.

Tang Wen spent most of the day in the garden.

Finally, with the last knife, the bamboo knife was unsheathed, and the loose stone was cut open, and the cut surface was extremely smooth.

There is no need to practice strength control anymore.

Night.

In the first half of the night, practice stealth, Tang Wen tried to hide his figure while holding larger objects.

In the second half of the night, continue to drink transcendent blood marrow.

Not idle for a moment, it's not that he is eager for quick success.

Shui Yun said that the strongest moment of transcendent blood marrow's medicinal power.

It is within three days of just being taken out.

Pharmacists have done many experiments, no matter what storage methods are used, jade bottle wax sealing, bone sealing, or low-temperature sealing.

The medicinal power of transcendent blood marrow can only be preserved for three days before it begins to weaken.

A day has already passed, today is the first night.

[Body: 13.2 → 14.37]

Starting from the daytime.

In just one day, the physique has increased by 2.37.

Almost 20% of the original.

Such a fierce increase naturally brought a new round of power loss of control.

[Transcendent Ability: Darkness (Awakening Progress 15.10 → 21.31%)]

6.21 percentage points.

It can also be described as soaring.

The sun rises, and the glow is all over the sky.

Walking out of the room, Tang Wen squinted his eyes, and it took half a minute to adapt to the sunlight.

He needs to regain control of his power.

But this time, he doesn't use a knife.

Instead, let Liang Yu catch a few birds.

"Chirp, chirp"

The familiar cry came from the bamboo cage.

"Red-billed finch?" Seeing the birds in the cage clearly, Tang Wen couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, young master, you were in a hurry, there is only this, do you want me to change it?" Liang Yu was puzzled.

"No need, no."

Just like a dream.

Tang Wen remembered the days when he lived in a shack and relied on secretly bringing back a few red-billed finches to survive every day.

I used you to exchange for food at the beginning, and now I use you to practice.

It's really fate.

He doesn't have any pretentious thoughts.

Catching one out, he let it stand on his palm with his backhand.

After the red-billed finch panicked, it kicked its legs and flapped its wings to fly.

Just as it kicked down, Tang Wen flicked his palm, unloading its strength.

Kick again, flick again.

His palm rose and fell.

The red-beaked bird seemed glued to his hand, unable to fly away no matter how much it flapped its wings.

The bird wouldn't fly.

It was said that only national arts masters, after reaching a certain level of training, could master this advanced method of force exertion.

Utilizing this subtle, multi-layered exertion of force.

Tang Wen more quickly mastered the extra strength he possessed.

"Take good care of them, use them every day."

"Yes, Young Master." A female warrior from the guard solemnly accepted the birdcage: This is the first time the Young Master has spoken to me, I must take good care of them!

Tang Wen recalled his time at the Flame Camp.

He paused, turned his head, and instructed, "Catch some more, roast them, fry them and eat them."

"Yes, Young Master."

The female warrior carrying the birdcage lowered her head and looked at the birds in the cage, unsure whether to raise them or send them to the kitchen now so the Young Master could eat them as soon as possible.

After eating breakfast, he took a short nap.

He stood in front of the ice bucket, pulled the cork from the eleventh bottle of extraordinary blood marrow, and drank it down in large gulps.

As the blood marrow entered his body, its medicinal power surged forth, layer upon layer, like endless waves of the sea.

Tang Wen's expression changed, he focused his mind, and fully stimulated his blood energy, frantically absorbing the medicinal strength within.

Clearly, this second blood marrow came from a water-type extraordinary beast.

Its abilities were probably already engraved in its bones.

Even the medicinal power contained in the blood marrow after death was like this.

The previous one, the fire-type extraordinary blood marrow, had a medicinal power as fierce as a prairie fire.

This water-type blood marrow, as its medicinal power entered the body, was like mountain-moving waves, heavy layer upon layer, endless and infinite.

For Tang Wen, it was even more terrifying.

Once the body failed to absorb it in time, even if a single layer of force rushed into the bone marrow, the consequence would at least be serious injury…

Ganshan City, West Gate.

Two women and a man were lined up to enter the city.

Their cloaks were embroidered with the mark of the Four Seas Camp. The guards glanced at them a few times, didn't check them in detail, and waved them into the city.

"Who would have thought that Tang Wen is now the Blackwater Gang's young master, and rumored to be the gang leader's daughter's man," Bai Xue said under her black cloak.

Bai Youruo: "Let's not worry about that for now, since he still sent me a message, it means he acknowledges our previous agreement."
