I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Every punch and kick he delivered to Qingdeng had no effect other than causing the affected area of ​​skin to turn slightly red and further activating the "Berserker" buff.

Qingdeng could easily knock down Lüchuan with a single punch, while Lüchuan couldn't even break through Qingdeng's defense—the outcome of this battle, with such a severe imbalance of power, was already predetermined.

After less than ten rounds of fighting, the disheveled and exhausted Midorikawa could only parry and had no chance to retaliate.

Qingdeng seized the opportunity and used his palm to strike Lüchuan's left wrist. In that instant, Lüchuan screamed and bent over, clutching his left wrist.

Qingdeng used almost the force of an entire ocean, holding back considerably, and only managed to hurt Lüchuan. Had he used his full strength, he could have easily broken Lüchuan's left wrist.

In the next instant, Qingdeng leaned forward and gently stretched out his ape arm.

With his left hand pressing down on Midorikawa's shoulder and his right hand slipping under Midorikawa's armpit, he used a grappling technique to throw him to the ground.

The soles of the feet, which were originally facing the ground, are now facing the sky.

The forehead, which was originally pointing towards the sky, is now pointing towards the ground.

Feeling dizzy and disoriented from the fall, Midorikawa was in a daze, with countless golden stars dancing before his eyes.

Midorikawa wasn't seriously injured, but he shouldn't even think about getting up and fighting again anytime soon.

Qing Deng released Midorikawa, and as he stepped off him, he thought to himself:

— Midorikawa's leg skills are pretty good... He should be able to copy talents related to hand-to-hand combat or leg strength.

As soon as Qingdeng thought this, he heard a "ding" sound in his mind:

[Ding! Talent detected]

—Got it!

Midorikawa truly possesses talent!

Qing Deng waited for the rest of the system message with a faint smile on his face.

Then, his expression froze.

[Successfully replicated talent: "Yuan Yang"]

[Talent Introduction: Kidneys are less prone to disease. Kidney energy is far more abundant and healthier than average.]

—What the hell?!

The author went for a walk the day before yesterday, visiting many crowded places, and still hasn't tested positive... Could it be that I, Shushuzi, have a "natural immunity to COVID-19"? (The arrogance of a leopard.jpg)

The author would like to offer a brief explanation: Yuan Yang is a term in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), also known as Kidney Yang or True Fire. It refers to the function and heat of the kidneys, and is the root of the body's Yang energy, playing a vital role in promoting and warming the functions of all organs and tissues. In TCM, the better one's Yuan Yang, the healthier and more energetic they are.

I bet a lot of people would want this talent (laughing emoji).

I really want one! (Leopard crying.jpg)

Chapter 289 Qingdeng's future wives are getting luckier and luckier! Copying talent [Still going strong]! [6300]

Qingdeng's father in his previous life was a fan of traditional Chinese medicine. He loved everything related to traditional Chinese medicine, such as meridians and qi.

Therefore, under his father's influence, Qingdeng, while not exactly an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, could at least have a basic understanding of it.

He knew that "Yuanyang" was a specialized term in traditional Chinese medicine.

Yuan Yang, also known as Kidney Yang, True Yang, or True Fire, is a part of Kidney Qi.

Kidney Qi is divided into Kidney Yang and Kidney Yin.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the former is considered the root of the body's Yang energy, which has warming, stimulating, exciting, vaporizing, storing, and restraining Yin and cold in the body.

The latter has the effects of moisturizing, calming, shaping, and inhibiting excessive heat in the body.

Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine says: "When kidney qi is sufficient, all diseases can be eliminated."

In short, people with abundant kidney qi are usually energetic, have sufficient blood and qi, strong bones, and are physically robust. They generally do not experience fatigue, weakness, or soreness in the lower back and knees.

Wow! I've won the lottery!

Qing Deng blinked hard a few times, then lowered his head to stare intently at Midorikawa's face.

As far as Qing Deng knew, Midorikawa had just turned thirty—in today's world, such an age is enough to call oneself an "old man," and children might already be teenagers.

Su Dongpo was only 38 years old when he wrote the famous line "An old man, in a moment of youthful exuberance."

Despite his advanced age, Midorikawa's complexion was remarkably rosy and healthy, showing no signs of aging; his eyes were bright and alert; his hair was lustrous; and his skin was of exceptionally good quality. He looked no different from a young man in his early twenties.

It seems that this is due to the effect of the innate "primordial yang".

No wonder... no wonder he has such a great physique... it turns out he has such an amazing talent hidden within him...!

Qingdeng thought to himself: Today's martial arts competition was really well worth it!

The talents that Mo Ti had previously copied, such as "Sharp Teeth" and "Master of Fighting," are enough to turn all the hardships he has endured today into beautiful memories, especially the "Primordial Yang" talent alone.

This illustrates once again that the presence or absence of talent is a very mysterious thing. Even an inconspicuous beggar on the street may possess an extraordinary talent that catches the eye or leaves people speechless.

For example, there was once a beggar in China named "Zhu Chongba," who later changed his name to "Zhu Yuanzhang"... Qing Deng felt that even if he exhausted his mental capacity, he could not imagine what kind of talent this man had.

—His kidney energy is far more abundant and healthier than that of ordinary people... Doesn't this mean...?!

Suddenly, Qing Deng thought of something, and a light flashed deep in his pupils, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

In that instant, Aoto thought of Kinoshita Mai and Sanako—as he recalled the two girls currently residing in his heart, a certain intense scene flashed through his mind…

It's not that Qingdeng is wicked; it's just that young people his age often can't control their thoughts and ideas.

In addition to boosting energy, improving blood circulation, and strengthening the body, abundant kidney energy also provides a beneficial effect that countless men dream of.

That is, it makes the physiological process of producing offspring, which is carried out by organisms to perpetuate their species, more colorful and interesting.

In other words, if he were to marry both Kinoshita Mai and Sanako in the future, he would be more confident in ensuring that both women would achieve physical happiness!

Thinking of this, Qing Deng's strange smile deepened.

However... in the short term, this function is completely useless—he and the two women are not even close to getting together yet.

This detailed account of Qingdeng's inner thoughts makes it seem as if a long time has passed. In reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

In the instant after Midorikawa collapsed, the next opponent... namely, opponent number 52, began to launch an attack on Aoto.

"bring it on!"

In a great mood, Qingdeng felt that the fatigue in his body had been greatly reduced.

He shouted triumphantly, rolled and slid to the bamboo sword he had casually tossed to the ground, picked it up, and engaged in battle with his opponent, number 52.

……

……

Let's rewind a little bit—

While Qingdeng was still locked in a physical battle with Midorikawa—

"...Shirasaki, Shirosaki...!"

Hearing someone call his name from behind, Shirasaki turned around expressionlessly.

"Akaba, is something the matter?"

Akabane puffed out his belly, which looked like he was seven months pregnant, took a half-step forward, and leaned down to bring his lips close to Shirasaki's ear:

"Shirasaki, do you want to join forces with me?"

"Join forces?" Shirasaki frowned slightly. "Join forces for what?"

Akabane let out a few fierce, cold laughs:

"Let's join forces and teach Ju Qingdeng a lesson."

A look of astonishment flashed across Shirasaki's eyes.

"Shirasaki, look—Tachibana Aoto is exhausted, his breathing is erratic, and his movements have become noticeably sluggish."

Akabane gestured with his chin toward the arena ahead, toward Aoto who was panting heavily.

"If you want to teach Ju Qingdeng a lesson, there is no better opportunity than now."

"How about it? Want to join forces with me?"

At this point, Akabane paused. After a moment, he lowered his voice to an extremely low level and said in an eerie tone:

"You, like me, are very dissatisfied with Tachibana Seiden's rise to power, aren't you?"

The dense wrinkles on Shirasaki's face twitched slightly.

Akabane keenly observed Shirasaki's subtle change in expression.

Akabane's face lit up with joy, and he quickly pressed his advantage:

"You are the most senior member of our Third Division, and you have dedicated most of your life to the Fire Thief."

"In the end, not only did he never get promoted, but he was also overtaken by a kid who was less than half his age."

"Shirasaki, your resentment is probably no less than mine, is it?"

"..." Shirasaki remained silent.

The old man, whose hair, eyebrows, and beard were mostly white, squinted and stared intently at Akabane, his gaze deep and meaningful.

"...Speak. How exactly do you plan to join forces?"

Akabane grinned.

“It’s very simple. First, we…”

……

……

Despite his exhaustion, Qing Deng managed to knock away the bamboo sword of his 52nd opponent.

In the blink of an eye, another person arrived with lightning speed, sword in hand.

"Haaaaaah—!"
