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

Lu Changqing quickly read the handwriting, and his thoughts remained the same as before.

Hard to choose.

Every aspect is excellent!

It can be said that, taken out of context, this talent would be considered top-tier even if given to any other martial arts performer.

That's why he hesitated and struggled.

The first two should belong to the talents of that eerie angel.

The former increases the speed of cultivation.

The latter enhances physical strength and vitality.

However, after careful consideration, Lu Changqing decided to abandon both options.

The former comes at a much higher price.

Although it can improve quickly.

However, the ten-day period of weakness was a bit too long.

He's surrounded by danger now; he doesn't have those kinds of conditions.

If I were a wealthy young master in a safe environment, that would be fine.

And the latter...

He possesses formidable life force, familiarity with water, and the ability to control it, yet he rarely uses them.

He was already invincible at the same level.

When facing an enemy from which there is no escape, the extra survivability is of little use.

Chicken ribs.

Therefore, we still need to focus on our own talents.

After a moment's thought, Lu Changqing chose the fourth option, [Shadow].

The reason is simple: the third aspect, water control, is slightly less cost-effective.

His ability to kill four opponents with three training sessions, and his control over water, definitely account for more than 80% of the factors.

But simply lowering the water temperature to an extremely low level is not powerful enough.

If water could be condensed directly into ice, then Lu Changqing would be tempted.

Perhaps this will happen as things continue to evolve.

But right now, the enhancement to [Shadow] is real and tangible.

Not only did it double the power and speed, but it also increased the duration to ten minutes, greatly enhancing endurance.

It will also make the ability to "conceal one's presence" even more powerful.

Another thought popped into Lu Changqing's mind: If that's the case, could he go to the bottom of the water unharmed and get the Golden Jade Bone guarded by the giant python that was more than ten meters long?

I'll try it tonight!

With that thought, Lu Changqing's choice was already made.

[Yin Water → Dark Water]

A mysterious energy emerged from my mind and spread throughout my body.

Lu Changqing's breathing slowed down.

Gradually, he seemed to blend into the cabin environment, becoming as if he were part of the table and walls.

"squeak--"

Suddenly, the cabin door was opened.

The four skilled men who had been on guard duty at the lookout tower came in.

As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, his polite smile froze for a moment, and then he stared blankly at himself, looking around as if he hadn't seen Lu Changqing at all.

It wasn't until Lu Changqing, who had been leaning against the table, stood up and his breathing returned to normal that he greeted him, "Brother, is there something you need?"

After he finished speaking, the man looked surprised, then stepped forward with an apologetic smile and said:

"Brother Lu, my eyes were playing tricks on me, I didn't see you."

He said this, but in his heart he was surprised and puzzled.

With my eyesight, I can see fish jumping out of the water even thousands of meters above the surface.

Are they getting complacent after winning a battle today?

He didn't think much of it and immediately handed Lu Changqing a package, saying, "Brother Lu, the young master has a lot of things to take care of. He needs to treat several seriously injured brothers. Uncle Xing can't leave either; he needs to use his internal energy to heal his wounds..."

"This was specially instructed by the young master to be given to you."

"They didn't come back again, don't mind them."

Lu Changqing smiled and said it was nothing, "I know, it's alright."

The four-legged man added, "Young Master also asked me to pass on a message: he might be busy later, so please take all these small items. If you need anything later, either go directly to the Wang family to find Uncle Xing, or call the number he left you."

Lu Changqing nodded again, indicating that he understood.

After that, he no longer stayed on the ship.

After finishing his business, Wang Hao would definitely not return to Gangcheng, but would instead head to Shenghai to transport goods.

Therefore, he wisely said, "Then let's do it this way."

"Then I left."

The four men immediately said, "We've prepared a small boat for you, Brother Lu. Someone will tow you back to the port city."

Lu Changqing thought about it for a moment.

He figured that when he got back, he could go underwater and check out the gravesite guarded by the giant snake, so he waved his hand and refused.

"No need, I can swim back by myself. I've already recovered my strength."

After hearing this, the four-time trainee was surprised and wanted to say, "Swim back?"

But then he remembered that the young man in front of him had swum across from the port city to save them from this desperate situation, so he swallowed back all the words he was about to say.

In the end, I could only sincerely exclaim, "Heroes emerge from among the young."

"So it really is as the young master said, Brother Lu is the reincarnation of the water god..."

A smile appeared on Lu Changqing's face as he watched the man turn and leave.

It wasn't that Wang Hao gave him some more money.

It's my own [Shadow] talent that's truly effective!

Even a master of the fourth level would overlook him at such close range!

This ability speaks volumes!

Who knows, he might just get his hands on the precious jade bone guarded by the giant python today!!

...

...

"Useless, utterly useless!!"

The Zhang family.

A courtyard filled with green plants.

With graying temples and dressed in a black robe, Zhang Huang, the head of the Zhang family, was angrily rebuking the internal energy master who was acting as Zhang Jiayu's bodyguard.

When the expert in internal strength was scolded, he simply lowered his head and did not try to argue.

But even if we go back to the beginning.

Unless he has foresight and knows that there will be a master with such strange water control abilities underwater, he can take precautions in advance.

Otherwise, it would still be impossible to fully protect Zhang Jiayu.

The distance was too close, and the reaction time was simply too short.

But Zhang Huang didn't care about any of that and continued to hurl insults at him.

Until the door to the room next to the cursing room opened, several Western doctors wearing white coats and masks, and several traditional Chinese medicine doctors carrying wooden boxes and wearing long robes walked out.

Zhang Huangcai stopped talking.

He nervously approached, asking with trepidation and expectation, "Dr. Qian, Mr. Gatler, is there any hope for my son...?"

Zhang Huang is fifty-three years old this year. He has thirteen concubines, nine daughters, and only one son!

He's incredibly precious!

Now, the root has been severed!

How could he not be anxious?

Under his expectant gaze, the old man with a long, white beard, holding a wooden box, was the first to shake his head: "No, this is not about severing the roots and reconnecting, but about growing them all over again."

"It's hopeless."

The old Chinese medicine doctor finished speaking.

The blond, blue-eyed foreigner next to him also took off his mask and spoke in broken Central Asian dialect, "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huang felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, and his legs immediately went weak.

Immediately, the butler behind him quickly supported him, saying, "Master, Master! Your health is the most important thing! If you collapse, the young master will be beyond saving!!"

At this moment, Zhang Huang struggled to his feet and asked, trembling, "Two divine doctors, is there truly no way in this world to extend my son's life?"

"I'm willing to pay any price!"

Upon hearing this, the old Chinese medicine doctor paused for a moment before replying, "There are still some."

"But not in the port city."

"There is a legendary doctor in the mainland, known as 'Divine Doctor,' nicknamed the True Lord of Universal Salvation. If we can find him, he can surely save your son. Of course, there may be other methods, but our medical knowledge is too limited to provide an answer."

Zhang Huang said, "Mr. Qian, you're being too harsh. Everyone knows your medical skills are superb."

That's what he said, but he doesn't intend to take his opinion into account.

Don't say they're in the port city; that miracle doctor is in the mainland.

Even if they're all inland, whether they can be found is another matter!

At this moment, Mr. Gatler, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"Mr. Zhang, your son can still be saved if he's willing to join the Vatican."

Zhang Huang was taken aback. "Join the Holy See?"

He hesitated and asked, "Will it work?"

He didn't know what kind of foreign religion it was, but he'd heard it was a bit strange.

Gatler made a prayer gesture to his chest, "The priest protects his believers."

After saying that, he said, "Mr. Zhang, please think it over carefully. This is your last bit of time."

"If too much time passes, no matter how many blessings the priest bestows, it won't be able to do it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huang glanced at the steward, only to find that the steward wisely turned his head away, not wanting to offer any advice.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Huang's mind.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, as long as we can get the roots back..."

"My son, convert to Christianity!"
