Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 22 Mercy
"The dragon is in the sky, the snake is on the ground; one is yang, the other yin. Among the twelve divine forms, only the dragon and snake are yin and yang in perfect harmony, forming a unified whole..."

While practicing martial arts with Gao Wu, Song Mingyue quietly explained the various changes of the Dragon-Snake Dual Cultivation.

Gao Wu didn't care about these theories. The key was that Song Mingyue used her strength to guide the resonance of his body's strength, putting the two of them in a very harmonious and coordinated state.

This was the first time he had ever had such a wonderful feeling since he started practicing martial arts.

The old man had profound knowledge of martial arts, and he learned the essence of the Nine Forms of the Dragon from him, laying an extremely solid foundation.

Just based on this point alone, he already has a head start over 99% of middle school students.

For a child from an ordinary family, having a samurai guide their training every day is still too extravagant.

Today, after practicing a set of Dragon Form Nine Styles with Song Mingyue, he realized that his Dragon Form Nine Styles was still very rough. Some muscles that should be exerting force could not be exerted naturally, and some places that should not be exerted were exerted too much force.

During this process, he didn't even need Song Mingyue to point out any problems; the subtle changes in the harmony of their strength were enough for him to notice the issues with his training method.

This puzzled Gao Wusheng. Why didn't the old man mention the miraculous effects of cultivating the Dragon and Snake Dual Techniques together?
It's important to know that Shang Qingjun cultivates the Spirit Serpent Fist, which is also one of the Serpent Form True Techniques. Shang Qingjun's martial arts talent is also much higher than his, so their sparring sessions were largely ineffective.

During the break, Gao Wu couldn't help but ask Song Mingyue this question.

“The conditions required for the dragon and snake to dance together are very demanding. We need to have a subtle spiritual resonance and be compatible in our genetic code to achieve this effect,” Song Mingyue explained.

Gao Wu didn't entirely believe this explanation; he felt that Song Mingyue hadn't revealed the key point. But he didn't press her further.

Respect is mutual. Song Mingyue knew he had a special constitution, but she never asked about the specifics of it. He also didn't want to pry into Song Mingyue's overly private matters.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue practiced the Dragon Form Nine Forms five times, which took them more than an hour.

After completing the final round of the Dragon Form Nine Forms, Gao Wu was drenched in sweat.

The training hall was unheated, and Gao Wu was drenched in sweat, while Song Mingyue, standing beside him, remained expressionless, creating a stark contrast with Gao Wu.

"Go and rest for a while. We'll go to Bailin Lake at nine o'clock." After saying that, Song Mingyue looked at Gao Wu with a questioning look in her bright eyes.

Gao Wu nodded: "No problem, I'll listen to you."

After sparring with Song Mingyue, Gao Wu was quite impressed with the beauty's strength. In the current situation, there was a clear gap in skill between him and Song Mingyue.

More importantly, Song Mingyue was very calm and rational, and the arrangements she made were very thorough and prudent.

In the current situation, he just needs to follow Song Mingyue's lead.

Back in his room, Gao Wu took a shower and changed into a new set of training clothes. He left the old training clothes in the storage basket, where someone would clean and dispose of them.

Hiring manpower can save a lot of time in these details of life. This made Gao Wu sigh again, "It's good to be rich!"

After resting for a while, Gao Wu felt warm all over, and his mind and body felt refreshed and comfortable.

The effects of the Blood Dragon Elixir injected yesterday seemed to have been fully unleashed during the sparring session just now. The high-energy-generating foods he ate for dinner were completely digested, putting his body into a powerful yet natural state.

When Gao Wu summoned the Book of Boundless Merit, he saw that his strength had increased by 0.1 points. This was due to the conversion of the Blood Dragon Elixir, which did not surprise him.

To his surprise, his agility increased by 0.1 points.

Agility was the lowest among his five dimensions. The improvement this time was probably due to his ability to refine his internal and external strength, resulting in more subtle changes in his power and improved body coordination.

The Nine Forms of the Dragon are still at the Proficiency level, but the brilliance of the word "Proficiency" is noticeably stronger, indicating a significant improvement.

Even without reading the Book of Immeasurable Merit, Gao Wu was quite certain of this.

The hour-long practice tonight gave him a deeper understanding of the Nine Forms of the Dragon, and this progress was almost visible to the naked eye.

Finally, Gao Wu checked his lifespan again and confirmed that all the changes were positive. He breathed a sigh of relief.

If he could improve like this every day, how powerful he would be in a year? I dare not even think about it... Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to make great progress every day.

He's at a very low level right now, so even a little progress is very noticeable.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue came to the middle of the bridge again.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the two jumped into White Scale Lake together.

Just like the previous two times, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue were fiercely attacked by an invisible spirit. Gao Wu recited the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra twice before he was able to escape with Song Mingyue.

Song Mingyue was in slightly better condition than last time, but her body was still frozen stiff. It was only thanks to Gao Wu's activation of the Divine Qi Incantation that she recovered completely.

This time, Song Mingyue wore a diving suit, which avoided some awkward situations.

After seeing Song Mingyue off, Gao Wu returned to his dormitory and reread the Book of Boundless Merit. His spiritual power had indeed increased by another 0.1 points. This rapid increase in spiritual power, on the other hand, also demonstrated the terrifying nature of the alien spirit. Without the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse, he would have died the first time he saved Song Mingyue…

Thinking about all this, Gao Wu felt that everything he had gained was well-deserved.

After receiving another injection of Blood Dragon Agent, Gao Wu ate a lot of energy bars and practiced the Nine Forms of Dragon Form several more times.

When Gao Wu woke up the next day, he felt like every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy. He even felt a kind of excitement.

His progress in the Nine Dragon Forms improved his sleep quality.

The combination of the medication and high-energy intake naturally put his body into a state of excitement.

Gao Wu silently recited the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra thirty times. The Azure Dragon Divine Light flowed and danced within his body, eliminating all the abnormalities and allowing his body to enter a state of natural relaxation.

I filmed my training run this morning and sent it to Shen Yue via Fetion.
Classes proceeded as usual in the morning. At noon, Gao Wu took some time to buy two hundred yuan worth of fruit and went to the hospital to visit Houzi and Wang Tiesong.

Two people were seriously injured by Bai Xiang, and as his teammate, he naturally wanted to visit them. He also wanted to do his best to help them.

Monkey and Wang Tiesong were both surprised to see Gao Wu. After the two were admitted to the hospital, the school officials visited them once, and then left the rest to the insurance company to handle.

After this serious injury, it's almost impossible for either of them to return to the martial arts team. This has left them both feeling utterly hopeless about the future.

Although neither of them liked Gao Wu, they were both very surprised and touched to see him visit with fruit.

"Old Gao," Monkey struggled to sit up and grasped Gao Wu's hand, but was too excited to say anything.

His serious injury has also caused several of his close friends from the martial arts team to disappear. His family is also very unhappy about his injury, believing he was too careless.

Over the course of several days, the monkey endured immense mental pressure, which caused him even more distress than his physical injuries.

The fact that Gao Wu, with whom they had never gotten along, came to visit them stirred the monkey's emotions so much that he almost burst into tears.

I hadn't seen him for a few days, and the monkey had clearly lost a lot of weight. He used to be lean but wiry, but now his outstretched hand was weak and powerless, and his face looked even smaller.

Wang Tiesong, lying on the hospital bed next to Gao Wu, was also staring straight at him. His chin was firmly supported by a neck brace, and he couldn't open his mouth at all. At this moment, he could only communicate with his eyes.

Wang Tiesong, who is usually quiet and reserved, was also visibly excited.

Gao Wu shook hands with Monkey and patted Wang Tiesong on the shoulder. He knew that the two were seriously injured, but seeing it with his own eyes brought him a different feeling.

Although their relationship was not good in the past, it was just mutual dislike, without any real hatred.

The two once energetic and vigorous teenagers were now dressed in hospital gowns, lying weakly on the hospital bed, a sight that couldn't help but evoke pity in him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to interact, he secretly activated the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, bestowing divine blessings upon the monkey and Wang Tiesong respectively.

In his experience, the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra can temporarily stimulate the life force of a person. For example, when Song Mingyue's body became stiff due to the invasion of alien cold energy, she could remove the alien state by adding a divine mantra.

A person may suffer a serious injury, but it cannot be cured by simply adding a blessing or mantra. Only by reciting the mantra day and night for an extended period of time can it produce any effect.

Offering these two blessings with divine mantras was merely a small token of my sincerity. I hope it can help in any way I can.

After casting two Azure Dragon Divine Qi Spells, Gao Wu could sense that the two teenagers' bodies were like those of people in their forties or fifties, weak and lacking the vitality that teenagers should have.

This is not only due to their serious injuries, but also because they used drugs to stimulate their bodies and overdraw their potential.

The serious injury destroyed their foundation and fully exposed their problem of overdrawing their potential.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse wasn't useless; it granted both youths a trace of mysterious source energy, significantly boosting their vitality.

"My family borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan to get me into the martial arts team, to buy me medicine, exotic beast meat, and to hire private tutors. Now, with this serious injury, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to practice martial arts again..."

When the monkey got too excited, it could no longer control its emotions and burst into tears.

Wang Tiesong's eyes also reddened. His family's conditions were similar to those of a monkey. Thinking of the enormous sacrifices his family had made and the fact that his years of hard work in cultivation had all vanished, this silent young man could hardly control his emotions.

The excited monkey and Wang Tiesong were even less likely to notice the subtle changes deep within their own bodies.

Gao Wu offered a few words of comfort, and only after the two boys had calmed down did he get up to take his leave.

After leaving the hospital, Gao Wu glanced at the Book of Immeasurable Merit, noting that this visit had increased his merit by nearly two hundred.

There's almost no traffic on short video platforms; all this good karma must have come from Monkey and Wang Tiesong. The visit's success exceeded his expectations…
