Chapter 79 Crushing Victory [Part 1]

"Melting gold into iron?"

Looking at the description of the [Gluttony] talent.

Hu Long was somewhat surprised.

I never expected that my talent would reach this level after advancing.

Doesn't this mean that he can survive on dirt from now on?

Basically, we don't have to worry about food anymore; we can eat anything.

Thinking of this.

He tried to open his mouth.

A normal person's mouth can open to about the width of three fingers that can fit between their teeth.

While it's possible to continue opening the jaw wider, over time this can easily lead to strain, causing a clicking sound when the jaw opens and closes. This is medically known as jaw dysfunction, a very troublesome condition.

However, he can easily open his mouth to an astonishing angle, and put down a fist with ease without any discomfort.

And this is not his limit.

The membranes on both sides of his mouth became extremely resilient, easily stretching down to his ears.

At this moment, he could clearly see the inside of his mouth.

And among them, one by one, neatly arranged, densely packed teeth.

They are far more numerous than before, and their teeth are sharper and longer.

The condition of one's teeth is, to some extent, an outward manifestation of one's physical condition.

A normal person usually has 32 teeth, including 28 normal teeth and 4 wisdom teeth.

Of course, there will be some differences for some people, but they are basically all within this range.

Based on the information he had previously seen in the Privy Council.

After a martial artist achieves bone tempering, their teeth will also be replaced with new ones.

However, the maximum number can only reach thirty-six.

And he is now.

There are twenty teeth on the top and twenty on the bottom, for a total of forty teeth.

This reminded Hu Long of information he had once read in a book.

The Buddha's forty teeth are a symbol of physical perfection.

And his current state seems to fit this description perfectly.

"But I feel like I'm becoming less and less like a normal person."

Hu Long looked at himself in the mirror.

The mouth is open at an angle of at least 100 degrees.

This appearance is absolutely terrifying, like a monster that only exists in horror movies.

He doesn't seem like a normal person at all.

but.

That's what they say.

However, Hu Long didn't pay too much attention to it.

Whether someone looks like a person or not isn't determined by their appearance.

And as long as you can survive well, you can make yourself stronger.

Whether someone looks like a human or not is actually not important.

As long as he considers himself a human being, that's fine.

A simple mouth exercise did improve bite force.

However, without any reference points, Hu Long didn't know how big the difference was.

Thinking of this.

He ordered a meal.

Although it's a bit late now.

But as long as the money is enough, it's not a problem.

A short while later, the restaurant downstairs delivered the food.

I briefly tried out his advanced gluttony talent.

The result did not disappoint him.

Those cow bones, as thick as an arm, can be easily crushed with a bite and swallowed whole.

He ordered enough food for four or five people, and ate it all up.

There was not even any bloating in my abdomen.

It was as if the food he ate was dissolved by the terrifying stomach acid, comparable to aqua regia, the moment it entered his stomach.

No wonder it's called gluttony; even if he keeps eating, he'll never feel full.

Of course, this is due to the unique nature of talent.

Even if there is no food in his stomach, he will not feel hungry indefinitely, nor will he suffer from stomach acid burning.

Just as Hu Long was testing his talent.

Outside, and on streets in the distance, the sirens of numerous police cars could be heard.

He drew back the curtains and looked outside.

His gaze fell in the direction of the Qi family's residence.

Because of the deliberately chosen location, coupled with the powerful eyesight of a secret martial artist.

From here, he could easily see the location of the Qi family.

The towering flames had died down, leaving only plumes of thick black smoke billowing in the sky.

At this moment, a large number of officials have arrived.

Yellow lines were laid out, sealing off the streets layer by layer.

"Lose the city?"

Hu Long's expression changed slightly.

This world, on the surface, is no different from the previous one.

But that's only on the surface.

The clans here wield power far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

The death of a chieftain of a lowly clan could trigger a city-wide lockdown.

However, upon closer reflection, it becomes understandable.

Not only did the chieftain of the Qi tribe die, but it is also likely that the divine intentions he employed will be destroyed.

The materials used in divine will are extraordinary, and are generally related to supernatural forces, but there are also differences in their strength.

This can be seen from the differences in the source values ​​provided.

Hu Long discovered that the more powerful the supernatural entity, the more source value it could provide him.

The divine material of a lower-class clan was far from being able to survive such an explosion.

Now, the Qi family's divine will has probably been destroyed, which is tantamount to completely severing the lifeline of the clan.

Without divine will, it would be impossible to obtain secret martial arts, and it would be impossible for a secret martial arts practitioner at the Skin Polishing Realm level to appear in the clan again.

The decline of the lacquer family was inevitable.

This is also why Hu Long thinks that the head of the Qi family is mentally ill.

Although he defended his dignity with his own death, he never imagined that the entire clan would be buried with him.

Hu Long didn't interfere much with this situation and lowered the curtains, which were some distance from the sealed-off area.

Adding to this, the Qi family is now facing such a predicament.

The problem is much bigger in itself, and even if the city is locked down, it simply cannot last long.

The Qi family is not the only low-ranking clan in Hailu City. Due to the special nature of clans, they are all passed down for at least a hundred years. Over such a long period of time, and living in the same place, conflicts are inevitable.

On the surface, there are rules established by the eight superior clans in conjunction with the official government of the Yu Kingdom.

As individuals wielding power far exceeding that of ordinary people, the various clans outwardly forbid fighting and killing each other, so they generally maintain a degree of restraint.

However, given the current situation of the Qi family, it's inevitable that other clans will secretly take advantage of their misfortune.

after all.

Resources are finite; if one clan is eliminated, the other clans can take more.

Silent all night.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The bright sunshine added a touch of warmth to this cold winter.

A window seat in the hotel's third-floor restaurant.

Hu Long, dressed like an ordinary middle-aged man, sat at the table.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip.

The bitter taste melts on the tip of the tongue.

This made him frown slightly.

Sure enough, no matter which world he was in, coffee still tasted terrible.

Thinking about it, he put down the cup, picked up the soy milk next to him, and took a sip.

He picked up another thin pancake, stuffed it with stewed meat, garlic cloves, and cucumber strips, rolled it up, and put it in his mouth.

With each large chew, the aroma of meat, garlic, and noodles bursts forth between your teeth in an instant, mingled with the juices.

The table in front of me was covered with all kinds of breakfast.

At this moment, he was eating while scrolling through his phone, looking at the news report.

The road closures here were lifted at daybreak.

Although it is the Lunar New Year holiday, most people have already returned to work.

The road closures and the scale of the operation naturally had a significant impact on the residents.

Many people called to complain.

The response was simple and official:

[Dear citizens, a group of rioters broke into our city last night.]

This group was carrying explosives, which was extremely dangerous. They detonated the explosives, resulting in the deaths of dozens of people.

Fortunately, they have all been apprehended.

The road closures have been lifted.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We also urge all citizens to pay attention to safety when going out, and to call the police immediately if you encounter any danger.

Many netizens left comments below expressing their understanding and praising the action as well done.

As for whether this matter is true or false, netizens don't care at all, nor do they have the ability to know.

Of course, this has nothing to do with them.

I put down my phone and stopped paying attention to the matter.

Hu Long ate his meal.

While reflecting on his own problems.

He went out this time.

Collecting source values ​​is only one aspect.

Secondly, it is about solving the problem of its own secret weapons.

For ordinary people, this is an extremely difficult thing.

Because after practicing secret martial arts, the practitioners themselves are almost completely set in their ways.

It's difficult to make any further changes.

But for Hu Long...

It's not difficult to take this step.

He is fully capable of downloading several secret weapons and merging them.

It's like a fusion of mixed martial arts.

Of course, whether this idea is feasible or not is another matter.

We'll have to try it to find out.

According to his original plan.

They could easily download it from the warriors of these lower-ranking clans and try it out.

This is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.

But when it came to actually implementing it, Hu Long realized he had oversimplified the situation.

The warriors of the lower clans are too weak.

The strongest among them is only a mere beginner in the first stage of the Skin Polishing Realm, the Ox-Hide Realm.

The secret martial arts he practiced were incomplete, lacking even the content of the Bone Tempering Realm.

This was completely contrary to Hu Long's expectations.

Downloading it would be a waste.
