Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Perhaps because of the special effect that comes with the perfect-level "Star Absorbing Great Enamel" skill book, Suzuki Seimei did not need to first disperse his internal energy like ordinary people before he could switch to cultivating "Star Absorbing Great Enamel".

Guided by the perfected "Star Absorbing Great Enamel", Suzuki Seimei's 33 years of pure internal energy unconsciously began to circulate, transforming into a domineering internal energy with a trace of devouring properties.

After Suzuki Seimei had fully absorbed and organized all the skill memories of "Star Absorbing Great Enamel", he had a completely new understanding of "Star Absorbing Great Enamel".

Judging from the skill memories absorbed by Suzuki Seimei, although the "Star Absorbing Great Enamel" can forcibly absorb the internal energy of the enemy, this martial art also has two major limitations.

Firstly, the Star-Absorbing Great Jade cannot absorb the power of those with exceptionally deep and stable internal energy.

For example, in the original story, when Ren Woxing was competing in martial arts with Master Fangzheng, he was unable to absorb internal energy from Master Fangzheng.

Secondly, the total amount of internal energy that the "Star Absorbing Great Embroidery" can absorb is not limitless, but rather based on the limit of the cultivator's meridians.

Although the "Star Absorbing Great Art" is inherited from the "Northern Darkness Divine Art", the two have different ways of absorbing internal energy.

The cultivation method of the "Northern Darkness Divine Skill" is the opposite of that of other schools of internal energy cultivation. It absorbs internal energy by "using the negative pole to attract the positive pole".

Therefore, the deeper one's internal energy is when practicing the "Northern Darkness Divine Art," the greater the suction force will be.

The "Northern Darkness Divine Art" is said to be "all rivers flow into the sea," taking oneself as the sea and others as the rivers.

If someone were to forcibly absorb the internal energy of someone with deeper internal strength than themselves using the "Northern Darkness Divine Art," it would be like seawater overflowing into a river, extremely dangerous!

Unless one is like Duan Yu or Xu Zhu, who are born with the protagonist's halo, they will either suffer from qi deviation at best, or die from severed meridians at worst.

The Star-Absorbing Great Emblem, on the other hand, uses a "hollow" method to forcibly absorb the enemy's internal energy, requiring the dantian to be "always like an empty box, and always like a deep valley."

Therefore, after absorbing the enemy's internal energy with the "Star Absorbing Great Embroidery", one needs to disperse this internal energy into the meridians and keep one's dantian in a "hollow" state.

Furthermore, the suction power of the "Star Absorbing Great Jade" mainly depends on the size of the cultivator's dantian. It can also absorb the internal energy of those with deeper internal energy than itself, and it does not have the hidden dangers of the "Northern Darkness Divine Art".

Unless Suzuki Seimei absorbs more internal energy than his dantian can hold, there is no need to worry about him being overwhelmed by the internal energy.

After figuring out the strengths and weaknesses of "Star-Absorbing Enamel", Suzuki Seimei smiled wickedly, turned his gaze to Ren Woxing, and reached out his sinful hands towards him.

If Ren Woxing were conscious, Suzuki Seimei would naturally not dare to absorb his internal energy rashly, lest his own internal energy be absorbed by him instead.

However, Ren Woxing is currently in a coma and will be asleep for at least several hours. He is like a fish on a chopping board, and naturally, he can do whatever he wants with Suzuki Seimei.

"Zizzizi..."

Suzuki Seimei reached out and grabbed Ren Woxing's wrists, then fully activated the "Star-Absorbing Great Enamel." A powerful suction force surged from his dantian, continuously drawing Ren Woxing's internal energy into his own dantian.

As the former leader of the Demonic Sect, Ren Woxing had absorbed the internal energy of countless martial arts masters, so the total amount of internal energy in his body was naturally very abundant, roughly equivalent to more than two hundred years of pure internal energy.

Of course!

Ren Woxing only has a little over two hundred years of internal energy in his body, not because his meridians can only withstand that much internal energy, but because the more foreign internal energy there is in his body, the stronger the backlash from the internal energy will be.

The backlash from over two hundred years of internal energy alone was enough to take half of Ren Woxing's life. If he were to greedily absorb even more internal energy, it would directly cause him to die from the backlash.

Because Suzuki Seimei and Ren Woxing had different meridians, he inevitably lost a lot of his own internal energy while absorbing Ren Woxing's internal energy into his dantian.

Chapter 442 Jianghu Edition (Inner Volume)

Suzuki Seimei drained the last bit of internal energy from Ren Woxing's body. Ren Woxing's internal energy had increased from the initial thirty-three years to more than one hundred and fifty years, losing nearly half of his internal energy.

"Hiss..."

The moment Suzuki Seimei dispersed the internal energy from his dantian into his meridians, he felt as if he were being cut into a thousand pieces, and he couldn't help but grimace in pain, his whole body trembling.

If we compare pure internal energy to pure water, then mixed internal energy containing various different types of internal energy is no different from sulfuric acid.

Ren Woxing was harmed by the backlash of internal energy because he absorbed too much internal energy from others, resulting in a mixture of various kinds of different internal energies.

Moreover, when Ren Woxing absorbs other people's internal energy, he doesn't dare to absorb hundreds of years' worth of internal energy in one go.

He can absorb at most several decades' worth of internal energy at a time. Only when his meridians have adapted to this internal energy will he continue to absorb more internal energy.

Suzuki Seimei absorbed all of Ren Woxing's internal energy and even dispersed it into his own meridians all at once, which was far too reckless.

Fortunately, Suzuki Seimei possessed the ability of [Abnormal Resistance], which greatly increased his resistance to the backlash from different types of internal energy.

Furthermore, he had mastered the advanced level of the [Golden Bell Shield], making his meridians much stronger than those of ordinary people; otherwise, the feeling wouldn't have been as simple as being torn to pieces.

"Crack!"

To prevent any accidents, Suzuki Seimei first endured the excruciating pain, reached out and snapped Ren Woxing's neck, then took out the master-level "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" manual and used it directly.

As the skill book "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body, Suzuki Seimei's body also gained a surge of innate purple energy.

When Suzuki Seimei tried to circulate the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill," the innate purple energy immediately merged into his meridians.

"Mmmmmmm..."

When those mixed and different internal energies encountered this innate purple energy, they were like snow in winter meeting the scorching sun, dissipating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing Suzuki Seimei to involuntarily let out a comfortable groan.

If we compare pure internal energy to pure water, then other different types of internal energy are like pure water mixed with impurities.

For example, ice-attribute internal energy is equivalent to pure internal energy infused with cold energy.

When the innate purple qi refines ice-attribute internal energy, it removes the coldness from the ice-attribute internal energy, leaving only pure internal energy without any attribute.

Because the skill level of "Zixia Divine Skill" is only at the master level, the amount of innate purple energy it comes with is not very large, and the speed of refining foreign internal energy is also relatively slow.

It took Suzuki Seimei a full day and night to refine and purify all the mixed internal energy within his body that had accumulated over 120 years, leaving him with only over 50 years of pure internal energy.

In other words, after being transformed by the Star Absorbing Great Enamel and the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, only about one-fifth of the pure internal energy in Ren Woxing's body remained, indicating a relatively low conversion and utilization rate.

However, the reason why the conversion and utilization rate is so low is mainly because the internal energy in Ren Woxing's body is too mixed.

If it were a martial arts master who specializes in a particular internal skill, their internal energy would definitely be much purer, and its conversion and utilization rate would be much higher.

"Click-click-click..."

Feeling the abundant and pure internal energy within his body, Suzuki Seimei nodded in satisfaction, stretched his somewhat stiff body, and stood up from the ground.

Although Ren Woxing's internal energy of over two hundred years was ultimately transformed into over fifty years of pure internal energy, Suzuki Seimei's strength actually increased rather than decreased.

Compared to the chaotic internal energy that had been completely out of control for over two hundred years, the refined internal energy that had been under one's control for over fifty years was clearly more valuable.

Suzuki Seimei already possessed thirty-three years of pure internal energy, and with the addition of over fifty years of newly transformed pure internal energy, his total internal energy reached over eighty years.

Eighty years of refined internal energy is already quite extraordinary. Unless one is someone with a protagonist's halo and has consumed many rare and precious herbs, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to accumulate so much refined internal energy in a lifetime.

"boom!!!"

Suzuki Seimei walked to Ren Woxing's body, raised his fair, jade-like fist, and slammed it onto the stone bed beneath him, shattering the stone slab that recorded the secret manual of "Star Absorbing Great Enamel." He then buried Ren Woxing's body in the pile of rubble.

The martial art "Star Absorbing Great Embroidery" is too demonic. If someone with a weak will practices this martial art, they are likely to cause a bloodbath in the martial arts world in order to absorb the internal energy of others.

To prevent chaos in the martial arts world, Suzuki Seimei felt it was better to destroy the "Star Absorbing Great Enamel" manual and let him bear all the sins alone.

That's right!

Seimei Suzuki was such a patriotic and compassionate man!

In any case, Suzuki Seimei would never admit that he simply didn't want others to learn the "Star Absorbing Great Enamel".

If the secret manual of "Star Absorbing Great Enamel" were to be leaked, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the entire martial arts world and produce a very terrible consequence, namely—involution!

In his previous life, Suzuki Seimei had seen a story called "Lin Pingzhi Selling the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual," which went something like this:

To avoid being hunted down by the martial arts world, Lin Pingzhi printed tens of thousands of copies of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, which could be bought for a fee, making it easily accessible to everyone in the martial arts world.

Because everyone could buy the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, no one bothered Lin Pingzhi anymore.

However, the martial arts practitioners were plunged into deep anxiety. If they did not practice the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, others who did would be able to kill them instantly.

If you were to be ruthless and cut yourself, the result wouldn't be much different, since everyone else would also know the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

The end result was that the martial arts world was completely ruined; this is the martial arts world version of involution.

Although the Star Absorbing Great Embroidery does not require practitioners to castrate themselves like the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, ordinary martial arts masters must first dissipate all their internal energy before they can cultivate the Star Absorbing Great Embroidery.

If all martial arts masters practiced the "Star-Absorbing Great Art," the end result would be that everyone's internal energy would dissipate, and even if they wanted to absorb the internal energy of others, there would be no one left to absorb.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei's destruction of the "Star Absorbing Great Enamel" manual was actually a great deed that benefited the entire martial arts world!

I really am a great person!

As Suzuki Seimei thought shamelessly, he couldn't wait to leave the dungeon.

do not forget!

Inside Plum Manor, there are six internal energy power banks waiting for Suzuki Seimei to charge them!

"Uuuuuuu..."

The four friends from Jiangnan, who were bound hand and foot, began to struggle fiercely when they saw the little devil Suzuki Seimei appear.

If it weren't for the fact that their limbs were bound with steel cables and their mouths were taped shut, the Four Friends of Jiangnan would definitely have been spewing profanities.

Chapter 443 The Ruthless Leader of the Righteous Path

Under the horrified gazes of Hei Baizi and the others, Suzuki Seimei first used the "Star Absorbing Technique" to drain Huang Zhonggong's internal energy in front of them, and then mercilessly snapped his neck.

In fact, after Suzuki Seimei absorbed all of Huang Zhonggong's internal energy, he could have chosen to spare his life. After all, Huang Zhonggong, now a cripple, posed no threat to him.

However, for a martial arts master like Huang Zhonggong, having his internal strength cultivated for decades crippled, it was better to die than to prolong his life in misery.

Even if Suzuki Seimei really let Huang Zhonggong and the others go, the fact that they failed in guarding Ren Woxing alone would make the Demonic Sect not let them off easily.

Rather than letting Huang Zhonggong and the others suffer endless torment and die, it would be better to let Suzuki Seimei give them a quick death, which would also be a way of repaying their kindness in contributing their inner strength.

Because Huang Zhonggong's internal energy was all cultivated through his own arduous practice, it was significantly purer than the mixed internal energy in Ren Woxing's body.

After being absorbed and transformed by the "Star Absorbing Great Enchantment" and further refined and purified by the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill", Huang Zhonggong's internal energy of more than fifty years was finally transformed into more than twenty years of pure internal energy, and the conversion rate was increased to about one-half.

After refining Huang Zhonggong's internal energy, Suzuki Seimei then turned his gaze to Hei Baizi and the others, and, amidst their horrified gazes, stretched out his sinful little hands.

More than three hours later, Suzuki Seimei finally absorbed and refined all of Hei Baizi and the others' internal energy, and left Plum Manor satisfied.

Although Hei Baizi and his companions' internal energy was far less profound and refined than Huang Zhonggong's, the combined internal energy of the five of them was still around 150 years.

Through the transformation and purification of the "Star Absorbing Technique" and the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill", Hei Baizi and his companions' internal energy was finally transformed into over forty years of pure internal energy.

The reason why Hei Baizi and his group's internal energy conversion rate is not as high as Huang Zhonggong's is mainly because the internal energy cultivation method they practice is not as good as Huang Zhonggong's.

The principle is actually very simple!
