Chapter 48: My Medicines Will Keep On Coming
“For real?!” Hong Wenqing was extremely excited. In history, one who could invent one’s own martial art style would be remembered forever, even if that particular martial art was not the amongst the most powerful ones. Furthermore, they would also be respected by everyone.
Atop the tree, Qingqing stared blankly at Hong Xiaobao for a while and said, “The martial art he was using earlier was invented by himself?”
Jian Pu nodded and said, “Mistress, do you still remember when we were at the Great Healthcare, I said that his heartbeat was abnormal? I guess he started doing it at that time.”
“En, so that was the case…” Qingqing got interested and said, “Let’s see what happens next.”
“En, it can be considered so.” Hong Xiaobao shamelessly claimed all the credit for Meng Xianji’s work. “There are only two levels at the moment. However, the later levels might be even more impressive. Moreover, I can’t cultivate True Qi so I’m not able to learn Uncle Fang’s martial art even if I want to.” After listening to the way Hong Xiaobao claimed all the credit, Meng Xianji in the bracelet shouted, “This a.s.shole, he does have a great future! How shameless!”
Birds of the same feather do flock together after all…
Fang Xinghan’s mood greatly improved after listening to what Hong Xiaobao said — it was not that he did not like Fang Xinghan. It’s just that he could not cultivate True Qi. My pride is back! It’s not that my martial art is inferior!
“Xiaobao, what is its biggest uniqueness?” At this moment, everybody presented got curious.
After all, the birth of a new martial art naturally brought up many questions.
For instance, the sword saint who had founded the Saint Academy, Xiao Chen, invented a miraculous martial art that was based on knowledge, which immediately made the Saint Academy one of the Six Great Orthodoxies.
Fang Xinghan anxiously asked again, “Xiaobao, your martial art, other than great strength, does it have any other features?”
“Of course there are,” Hong Xiaobao said proudly, “The martial art that I created, Blood Qi, would allow one to gain immunity towards toxins from the very first stage apart from granting one great strength!”
Great strength and immunity towards toxins?!
Everybody could see that it granted great strength from Hong Xiaobao’s ability to lift a 600-jin-heavy Chinese tripod despite being only at the first stage of Blood Qi. This effect was already frightening enough the more one thought about it. As for immunity towards toxins, it made people even more envious!
Know that in this world, there were wild Demonic Beasts everywhere outside the fortified cities. Their basic elements included Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, a total of five types and the most powerful of which was Water-type Demonic Beasts — as long as a Demonic Beast is Water type, there was an eighty percent for them to have toxins!
While the toxins wouldn’t necessarily cause death instantly upon entering the bloodstream, there was no doubt that one would definitely die in the time taken to burn two incense sticks!
In this world, why did the price of Demonic Beasts materials only ever increased without dropping? For the most part, it was because hunting a Water-type Demonic Beast was life-threatening, causing immense danger to martial artists who went beyond the gates.
But Hong Xiaobao’s Blood Qi could grant immunity towards toxins?!
“Xiaobao, quick! Show us!” Hong Wenqing said anxiously, “Just how can you be immune towards toxins?” Yun Caixiao’s face was filled with joy. I knew that Big Brother Xiaobao would not disappoint. The reason he had not been able to train any martial arts was because he was researching a new one!
