Chapter 120 (1/2)

Chapter 120: Title at End

The starry sky brightened up as the heatwave invaded. In the depths of the vast starry sky, a dark star was like it had been mysteriously summoned. The originally dark starry sky was as though emitting out and enveloped by a halo, as it accumulated layer by layer and shined as though it was daytime.

Imperceptibly, a huge amount of star power was as though the tides that surged toward Earth’s direction, as it transmitted toward the villa in South Gate Town where Tang Xiu was cultivating.

Mu Qingping had awakened from the shock. Although Tang Xiu was unlikely to be in danger, but the strange scene still attracted her. She could tell that Tang Xiu was still cultivating, but for her, such a horrible cultivation practice was unheard of. She even had some worries. If her daughter had to undergo this kind of thing, that…

After a long while…

Mu Qingping slowly withdrew from the door and quietly closed the door from the outside.

Inside the warehouse.

Tang Xiu still maintained the cultivation posture as he crazily absorbed the influx of the stars’ power from all directions. The previously 9 spheres of stars inside his Dantian began to expand along with the incoming influx of the stars’ power. Tang Xiu’s Dantian crazily opened as his Dantian’s boundary cracked, as it was then filled and was nourished by the stars’ power.

“Boom …”

Whilst Tang Xiu was still deeply immersed in his cultivation state, the 9 spheres of stars inside his Dantian expanded to their limits, as a violent aura surged out everywhere. Tang Xiu’s vision blackened out, as at present, the severe pain almost made him let out a miserable howl.

His mind sea was firm as though a bluestone and despite the pain that drowned him, an ecstatic expression emerged out of his face. Through his spiritual sense, he could clearly see that the previously 9 spheres of stars inside his Dantian increased by 9 more stars. There were 18 spheres of stars right now. These 18 spheres of stars exuded brilliant rays of light all over his body, as its volume was almost the same compared to the previous state.

One of the most surprising thing for Tang Xiu was the Star Force inside his Dantian, which had already reached the limit before, now became more scarce and quite empty. His Dantian now could accommodate more Star Force, as it had been expanded 10 times more than before.

“Is this the Skin Strengthening Stage?”

Tang Xiu slowly opened his eyes. The moment the 2 bands of light disappeared from his eyes, the thick blood scabs that covered his body like a spider web was split open. Along with his body’s vibration, pieces of blood scabs dropped on the floor.

Punching and striking!

Tang Xiu could clearly hear the sound from his striking fist.

“20,000 pounds!”

The satisfied look on Tang Xiu’s face was getting thicker.

Along with the promotion of his cultivation base, his physical strength as well as his force also increased by several fold. Now, he was confident that if he came across anyone at the same level of those human organ traffickers, he would be able to kill them without worrying about the enemies’ firearms.

Reaching the Vitality Tempering Stage only made him stronger than an ordinary person. And by achieving the Skin Strengthening Stage, he now truly had the ability to protect himself. Even if he encountered those martial artists who had reached the Grandmaster level, he would also be able to defeat them.

“Now, since I’ve broken through to the Skin Strengthening Stage, what I needed to do is to cultivate seriously to fill my Dantian with Star Force as soon as possible. By that time, only then will it be possible for me to breakthrough to the Peak Layer of the Skin Strengthening Stage. If I’m able to reach the Bone Strengthening Stage, the number of stars in my Dantian would reach 36 spheres, and I’ll be much stronger by then!”

Tang Xiu dressed up, but he did not clean up the mess in the warehouse and instead quickly entered the villa. Because of the last cultivation practice, and because his body was tempered and quenched, impurities within were discharged. Although the impurities that had turned into blood scabs, the stench was horrible. So he quickly entered the bathroom and soaped himself a few times and had a shower until the stinking stench on his body had all been cleansed.

After having taken the shower, with a happy mood, he put on clean clothes and then went to the living room with a refreshed feeling. He saw Mu Qingping sitting on the sofa whilst looking to be lost in her thoughts. Then, Tang Xiu asked, “Have I practiced for a whole night? I’m quite starving, please give me something to eat.”

It was only for a short time had Mu Qingping sat in the living room as she suddenly jumped up from the sofa when she heard Tang Xiu’s voice. She looked at Tang Xiu with faint fear in her eyes. But, she saw that Tang Xiu’s appearance was like his usual self. The only difference was that his skin seemingly turned whiter than before.

“You… your body!”

Mu Qingping’s lips perched a few times as she spoke with a low voice.

Tang Xiu stared blankly. He recalled that when he was leaving the warehouse, he saw the shattered porcelain bowl as well as the already spoiled dishes on the floor that had yet to be cleaned up. Then, he immediately asked in astonishment, “You went to the warehouse and saw me in cultivation practice?”

Mu Qingping hurriedly replied, “I originally wanted to send you some supper. I had never thought that you were in cultivation practice. Moreover, that time… your body was…”

Recalling the scene when he was naked in his practice and even being looked at accidentally by Mu Qingping, a slightly embarrassed look appeared on Tang Xiu’s face. He looked up and rubbed his brows whilst speaking with a smile, “My body is fine, and it’s even better than before. Anyway… I’m really starving, can you give me something to eat?”

Mu Qingping quickly said, “Ah, well, then I’m going to cook for you now. Haven’t you been practicing for 3 days straight? So, it’s not surprising for you to be hungry.”

Tang Xiu involuntarily exclaimed in surprise, “Say what? You said that I had practiced for 3 days straight?”

Mu Qingping nodded and said, “Yes! You had practiced in the warehouse for 3 days and 4 nights. Originally, I thought that cultivation practice was simple, but I have never thought that it would consume so much time.”

Tang Xiu’s mouth twitched a few times as he sat down on the sofa with a desperate expression.

He previously thought that concocting the Golden Bell Liquid and attempting to break through his cultivation would need 2 days at the most. But never once had he ever thought that it would take 3 days and 4 nights. Speaking about it, the one-week vacation Gong Dalong had given him from school was due, and he was 2 days late.

“Damn. When I go back to school, Han Qingwu would rain down her fierce reprimands at me, wouldn’t she?” Tang Xiu wryly smiled inside.

Suddenly, Mu Qingping, who just went into the kitchen, came back in an apron. She looked at Tang Xiu and then spoke, “Divine Doctor Tang. I came to clean your room while you were still practicing and heard that your mobile phone constantly ringing. I noticed that in these 2 days, it has been ringing for at least a few dozen times every day.”
