Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

Judging from the handwriting, Lu Changqing knew that the energy from the yin side needed to be obtained...

Hunting demons is one of the sources!

Its function is to extract the talents from demons!

Thinking of this, he couldn't contain his elation.

The white, yang side of the Tai Chi symbol can be enhanced through martial arts practice and dietary supplements.

The dark side involves hunting demons and monsters to absorb their talents!

The former enhances physical strength, while the latter strengthens it even further!

This cycle repeats itself, with each element intertwined with the other, complementing and reinforcing one another!

No wonder it's a Tai Chi symbol!

Excited, he looked at the talent revealed in the ink-black handwriting.

First.

Soul control.

It was definitely meant to make Old Deng commit suicide with a gun.

This made Wednesday seem like he was under hard control, as if he was about to throw himself into the river.

Very strong!

The controlled person completely loses the fear of death and can be directed to commit suicide!

That alone is incredibly impressive!

However, upon closer examination, this talent also has significant limitations.

A target within 50 meters, whose gaze is fixed on them for more than 10 seconds, and whose vital energy is stronger than that of the target being controlled.

Adding the two conditions together makes it even more difficult.

For a demon fish, or any eye-catching demon, this talent is incredibly powerful.

But if Lu Changqing were to use it... the effect would likely be greatly reduced.

The second talent.

Swimming.

Being able to move freely in water is probably an innate ability of a "fish".

They have a certain instinctive connection to "treasures of the water".

It must be the skill of a monster fish in the river.

Walking on water as if it were flat ground...

Able to find treasure...

It doesn't seem to improve your strength much, nor does it have any effect in fighting others.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Lu Changqing realized that wasn't the case.

The port city is surrounded entirely by water; it can be said that it is completely surrounded by water.

Shallow waters, deep waters, deep sea...

It can be said that the area occupied by water is dozens of times larger than that of land.

Whether it was the fishermen of the port city, the police station, or the tough foreigners.

The exploitation of rivers, seas, and lakes accounts for less than one percent!

There are so many rare plants and herbs underwater!

When his father was still alive, Lu Changqing had heard more than once about which martial arts troupe was lucky enough to win a treasure fish;

Which family was lucky enough to find the Water Spirit Grass...?

If Lu Changqing could really move freely in the river like a fish.

Doesn't that mean his chances of finding spiritual herbs and catching treasure fish are many times greater than those of a normal person?

In addition, there's his innate sensitivity to "treasures"...

Lu Changqing seemed to already see himself diving into the deep water and retrieving all sorts of centuries-old herbs that no one had ever explored or salvaged before!

It felt like huge sums of money were beckoning to him...

In a moment, Lu Changqing made a decision!

Although this talent does not increase combat power.

But taking a long-term view is always beneficial!

It is entirely possible to achieve a cycle of "using water to nurture martial arts, and using martial arts to explore water"!

Just like the Golden Finger Tai Chi diagram, it involves continuous positive feedback cultivation!

Most importantly...

He acquired this ability.

If you ever encounter an enemy you can't beat in the future, just dive into the water!

Who can catch up with or catch him?

Therefore, Lu Changqing did not hesitate at all.

He immediately chose the second talent, [Swimming].

In an instant, the Tai Chi diagram in my mind was filled with turbid blackness, like an extremely evil "yin diagram," and then it was instantly cleared away, all energy disappearing.

At the same time, Lu Changqing felt as if something had been added to his mind...

There was neither coolness nor warmth, but the world before my eyes felt different.

Especially when he looked at the water, a sense of warmth and familiarity welled up in his heart.

Each gentle ripple brought him comfort and peace of mind...

Lu Changqing now desperately wants to plunge into the river and experience the changes brought about by his talent.

But the demon fish's corpse was still there, and Liu Shitou, soaked to the bone, had just climbed onto the deck when the rest of the crew collapsed to the ground, their expressions blank...

He immediately rejected the idea of ​​going into the water.

I'll try again by myself when it gets late at night.

To avoid causing any big commotion or doing anything too unusual that would attract attention.

...

"Dead, dead..."

After Lu Changqing killed the demon fish, the noisy environment on the water surface fell silent, with only the sound of water ripples remaining.

After climbing onto the deck, Liu Shitou, panting heavily, stared at the corpse of the demon fish with a look of horror and disbelief on his face, muttering, "It...it really is dead..."

His voice was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

Instantly snapping everyone on the deck out of their daze.

The two brothers, Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, were still clutching their broadswords.

At this moment, their expressions were a mixture of shock and elation at surviving a disaster!

"Hahaha! I survived! I survived..."

"Brother Lu! You...you killed the demon fish! You actually managed to kill the demon fish!!"

The two men danced wildly, carrying knives. One ran to Lu Changqing's side, his eyes filled with admiration and awe.

The other one ran to the corpse of the demon fish, stabbed it twice with his broadsword, and only after confirming that the demon fish was dead did he turn back and praise Lu Changqing with a respectful tone.

Old Chen and Zhou San were still slumped on the ground, their bodies intertwined.

Old Chen's wrinkled face revealed horror, and he was speechless, "Changqing... no, Brother Lu."

"Brother Lu, he... he can kill the demon fish?"

Seeing Lu Changqing covered in blood, standing tall and proud, surrounded and flattered by the Zhao brothers and Liu Shitou.

He suddenly remembered how he had just been at a loss, as if he had lost his soul, and how he had dropped the gun...

Considering his current disheveled state and his previous dissatisfaction with Lu Changqing...

"I actually thought that Brother Lu couldn't handle things..."

If Lu Changqing hadn't just drawn his gun and killed the demonic fish, everyone on their boat would have been swallowed by the fish!

A strong sense of shame welled up in Lao Chen's heart.

By then, Wednesday had recovered as well.

His face revealed the lingering fear of being controlled...

He can see, hear, and perceive what he is doing!

But I just can't control my body!

Thinking back to just now, I almost threw myself into the river...

On Wednesday, his throat tightened, and his pale lips moved, "Brother Chen, thanks..."

Upon hearing this, Old Chen opened his mouth but couldn't say anything; he simply shook his head.

On Wednesday, she used one arm to lift herself up and walked to Lu Changqing.

Zhao Yi, Zhao Er, and Liu Shitou all turned to look at him.

Lu Changqing also smiled and looked at Zhou San.

Before he could even speak, Zhou San pouted, his face contorted in tears, and with a "plop," he knelt down on the deck!

Then he kept kowtowing with all his might, "thump thump thump!"

"Brother Lu, thank you! Thank you!"

"Thank you for being so forgiving!"

"I used to think you weren't qualified to be in charge! I was so blind!"

"Thump thump thump..."

"Thank you so much, really, thank you for saving my life!!"

"..."

The Zhao brothers and Liu Shitou neither helped Zhou San up nor looked down on him because of his words.

Instead, the gaze directed at Lu Changqing was filled with even greater awe, as if they themselves had shrunk in stature.

Lu Changqing quickly pulled him up, saying, "Third Brother, what are you saying!"

"A brother I worked with on the same ship..."

"Besides, Old Chen was the first to pull you up, and he did the hard work!"

On Wednesday, tears streamed down her face as she repeatedly wiped her cheeks with her arms, sobbing loudly, "Waaah! From now on, I, Wednesday, owe Brother Lu my life! Waaah..."

Looking at him, Lu Changqing couldn't help but gently comfort him.

For a moment, on the river surface stained with dark green blood, only the sound of weeping and Lu Changqing's words of comfort to Zhou San could be heard.

On the deck, the few people who originally had different thoughts now looked at Lu Changqing with only one emotion in mind, in the face of Lu Changqing's attitude.

admire,

And respect!
