UGB #351 - Strong body
#351 - Strong body
Liang Jin was stared at intently by those enormous eyes, and in that instant, his heart trembled violently.
A terrifying thought couldn't help but flash through his mind: this giant snake ate its own shed skin, could it be that it was also coveting his flesh and blood, wanting to swallow him whole?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly spoke to explain, his voice spreading in the water in a unique way:
"It's me!"
"Remember daytime? We just met!"
An ordinary person would naturally be unable to speak underwater.
But Liang Jin was proficient in sonic techniques, and he could cleverly generate sound waves through internal force vibrations, allowing them to propagate smoothly in the water.
He had no past grudges or recent animosity with this giant snake, and he really didn't want to fight it for no reason.
Perhaps the giant snake really understood his words, as it didn't show the slightest aggression.
After carefully looking at Liang Jin for a couple of moments, it slowly swam over, circled Liang Jin's body twice, and then extended its forked tongue, gently touching Liang Jin a few times.
Although its attitude towards Liang Jin was far from as affectionate as it was towards Yu Linglong, at least it didn't seem to show any hostility.
Liang Jin thought to himself:
"Could it be that it saw me shedding my skin and thought I was one of its kind?"
"That's too ridiculous, our appearances are completely different. This giant snake seems quite intelligent, it shouldn't make such a mistake."
Despite being full of doubts, Liang Jin didn't dare to relax his vigilance in the face of this powerful being that couldn't speak.
Although he had never seen this giant snake attack, the aura of power it exuded was too strong, making Liang Jin deeply aware of its danger and not daring to be even slightly negligent.
After circling Liang Jin a few times, the giant snake seemed to have satisfied its curiosity.
Immediately afterwards, it twisted its massive body and slowly turned its head to swim away.
That huge figure quickly disappeared into the dark seawater, vanishing from sight.
"It's leaving just like that?"
Liang Jin's face was full of surprise, he didn't expect this giant snake to come so suddenly and leave so quickly.
However, these powerful divine beasts have always had their own unique personalities and pride, and unless you spend a long time with them, it's really difficult to fathom their thoughts.
Moreover, judging from the direction it was swimming, it seemed to be heading towards the shore, looking like it was preparing to return to Dragon Transformation Island.
Only when the giant snake's figure completely disappeared and could no longer be seen did Liang Jin let out a long sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that the giant snake had not attacked.
Especially seeing it obediently going ashore to return to the island, Liang Jin felt that his prediction during the day had come true, if not earning him a merit, at least it wouldn't bring him any more trouble from Li Xueqing and the others.
As the giant snake left, that powerful pressure also dissipated.
At this time, Liang Jin noticed a new change in his body.
The new skin on his body was becoming tough at an alarming rate.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the discomfort Liang Jin had previously experienced due to shedding his skin had completely disappeared.
At this moment, the feel of his new skin had returned to the same as before.
Not only that, but along with the changes in his skin, Liang Jin clearly felt that earth-shaking changes were taking place throughout his body.
Whether it was his bones, muscles, or internal organs, they were all rapidly improving towards a stronger level.
Just like how animals often become stronger after shedding their skin, Liang Jin was now experiencing this firsthand.
In this instant, he felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation.
Before long, he noticed that his five senses and six consciousnesses had become more acute, and his body had become lighter and more agile.
He knew that this was because the strength of his physical body had been significantly improved.
Not only that, but Liang Jin's cultivation had also quietly improved a notch.
Previously, he was still slightly short of reaching the late Fourth Rank, but now he had successfully entered this realm.
Since he was going to test it, he naturally had to test his strongest power.
Immediately, Liang Jin's whole body was surging with chaotic internal force, full of violent aura.
《Overlord's Armor Removal》, fully activated!
《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》, fully activated!
In an instant, Liang Jin's body continued to expand and grow, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a berserk giant with bulging muscles.
His eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his body was covered with a layer of dark and shiny scales.
"Eh?"
"I actually have new changes."
Liang Jin looked at his body in surprise.
In the past, when Liang Jin's clone entered the Hundred Evils Body state, his height could reach more than three meters.
But at this moment, his height actually broke through to four meters, a whole lot taller than before.
Not only that, but the muscles all over his body expanded even more terrifyingly, and his entire body was horizontally a full circle larger than before.
Although this made him look slightly bloated, this bloat contained a terrifying explosive force that was chilling to the bone.
At this moment, he was like a human-shaped tank, as if he could easily crush any obstacle in front of him.
Liang Jin stood firmly on the seabed and suddenly threw a punch.
The Dawn Fist intent instantly merged into it!
Punching in the water is completely different from on land.
When Liang Jin threw this punch, an extremely powerful shock wave was instantly generated.
In water, although the propagation speed of the shock wave is slower than in air, because the density of water is much greater than that of air, the energy carried by this shock wave is extremely huge.
The energy was centered on Liang Jin's fist, spreading rapidly in all directions in a spherical shape.
The surrounding seawater was instantly pushed away by this powerful force, forming a huge and rapidly expanding ball of water.
The water pressure inside the water ball dropped sharply, causing air bubbles to form rapidly in the water, creating a phenomenon similar to "cavitation."
At the edge of the water ball, the seawater was strongly squeezed, forming a high-speed water flow.
The speed of this water flow instantly soared to a very high level, creating a huge impact on the surrounding area.
The surrounding reefs were like being hit by artillery shells under the impact of this water flow, and they were easily shattered.
The nearby schools of fish suffered a devastating disaster in this instant, and countless fish were shattered to pieces by the impact and died on the spot.
"Boom! ! !"
Liang Jin's punching force was transmitted to the seabed through the seawater, creating a huge pit in the seabed.
This was just the impact on the seabed.
In the water, Liang Jin's huge punching force would also be conducted upwards, eventually reaching the sea surface.
"Splash! ! !"
On the sea surface, a huge column of water suddenly soared into the sky, like a huge fountain.
When this ten-meter-high column of water fell, it was as if a torrential rain had begun on the sea surface.
After one punch, the entire seabed's mud, sand, and plankton were stirred up, causing the seawater to become turbid.
Liang Jin was satisfied with the power of this punch, and secretly marveled in his heart:
"The strength of my physical body has actually increased by as much as 80%!"
"No wonder it's a divine pill mentioned by Elder Qingnang, the effects are simply heaven-defying!"
The effects of the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill far exceeded Liang Jin's expectations, filling him with emotion.
If he had taken this Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill earlier, his clone in the Western Desert wouldn't have been so severely injured when facing Tu Xie Wang's punch.
"Let's test my defensive capabilities."
Thinking this, Liang Jin flipped his hand, and a long sword appeared in his palm, retrieved from the [Inventory].
This was just an ordinary refined steel long sword, although of good quality, it couldn't be considered a divine weapon.
Liang Jin raised the long sword and slashed it fiercely towards his arm.
In an instant, a huge impact stirred up waves in the water.
Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!
Shockingly, the long sword instantly shattered into a pile of fragments, while Liang Jin's arm remained unscathed, without even a scratch.
This was the result of Liang Jin completely relying on his physical body to withstand the long sword, without using any internal force.
"It seems that I can now be considered invulnerable to swords and spears."
"Perhaps, only those divine weapons can harm me."
Liang Jin pondered, and immediately took out the Youlong Sword.
This time, he wasn't as reckless as before, but first tried to gently cut with the sword.
The Youlong Sword was extremely sharp, yet even so, Liang Jin struggled to cut through the scales on his arm.
Finally, he forcefully slashed at his hand, and only then did he finally cut through the scales and injure the skin.
A trace of bright red blood slowly spread in the seawater, but quickly dissipated.
"Hmm?"
"My self-healing ability has also improved so ridiculously!"
Liang Jin was surprised to find that the skin that had been cut by the Youlong Sword had quickly stopped bleeding and healed.
Although it was just a minor flesh wound, the healing speed was truly astonishing.
"Can I still be considered human now?"
Liang Jin examined his four-meter-tall body, filled with doubt.
However, Liang Jin had always been too lazy to delve into such philosophical questions.
Anyway, as long as he felt that he was human, then no matter what he transformed into, he would still be human in his heart.
"It seems that divine weapons can indeed harm me, but it will take some effort."
"In addition to my powerful self-healing ability, if I activate defensive techniques like the 'Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill,' then my defensive ability will probably reach an exaggerated level."
"Unless the opponent's realm is far higher than mine, at least like the second-rank experts like Tu Xie Wang."
"Otherwise, within the third rank, I am already hard to find an opponent."
Liang Jin was originally invincible only within the same realm.
But now, he had enough confidence to rampage through a level higher than his own.
He had defeated Wang Zhi of the third rank, but that Wang Zhi had just broken through to the early stage of the third rank at the time, and his realm was not stable enough, so he could only be considered a pseudo-third rank.
True third-rank experts must be existences like Wuliang Fawang, Bai Qiuying, and Ming Cangwu.
Liang Jin found it really difficult to win against these true third-rank experts at the time, and he had no confidence at all.
But now, Liang Jin had enough confidence to defeat them.
However, there were only a few situations that might cause him trouble.
Either the enemy's lightness skill far surpassed him, constantly moving around, trying to fight a battle of attrition with his internal force.
But this situation was unlikely to happen, after all, Liang Jin's 'Wind-Stepping Shadow Footwork' had been trained to the maximum level. It was almost impossible for a mere third-rank to surpass Liang Jin in lightness skill.
Or the enemy would directly compete with him in internal force, relying on the deeper internal force of the third rank to suppress him.
But as long as Liang Jin didn't compete with the other party in internal force, he wouldn't need to worry about this situation.
And the most likely situation was that the enemy would attack the few with the many.
When multiple third-rank warriors besieged Liang Jin, it would put him in trouble.
However, Liang Jin still believed that as long as he was determined to escape, he would still have a chance to get away.
"If I face a second-rank, although I may not be able to beat them, protecting myself and escaping should not be a problem."
"The gap between the second rank and the third rank is really ridiculously large."
"It even gives people the feeling that it's not just a gap of one major realm."
Liang Jin still had lingering fears when he thought of Tu Xie Wang's profound and terrifying power.
But he quickly mocked himself.
As a fourth-rank warrior, being able to be invincible in the same realm, and even rampage across a level, not taking the third rank seriously, was already very remarkable.
And he was actually thinking about challenging a second-rank that was two levels higher?
This was inevitably a bit too unrealistic, too extravagant.
Even a third-rank warrior as strong as Bai Qiuying couldn't withstand a single move in front of Tu Xie Wang.
Liang Jin, a mere fourth-rank, being able to protect himself and escape from Tu Xie Wang's hands was already an extremely exaggerated thing.
"If I had known that the effect of this Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill was so strong, should I have agreed to Li Xueqing's martial arts bet during the day?"
A master of Li Xueqing's level was definitely a top existence among the third rank.
Liang Jin believed that neither Wuliang Fawang nor Bai Qiuying were Li Xueqing's opponents.
But Liang Jin felt that he was now capable enough to challenge Li Xueqing.
Although Li Xueqing was highly skilled in martial arts, had profound internal force, and knew many martial arts.
But her most proficient poison skill was completely ineffective against Liang Jin, who possessed the [Hundred Poisons Immunity] trait, which gave Liang Jin a great advantage.
Especially her natal weapon, the Thousand Dragon Divine Whip, was now in Liang Jin's hands, which would also reduce Li Xueqing's attack power.
However, Liang Jin was just thinking about it.
Now that he had the Sect Master protecting him, he could suppress Li Xueqing with a civil contest, so there was no need for a martial contest, and there was no need to kill this woman for the time being.
"That's right, I almost forgot to look at the refreshed intelligence for today."
Liang Jin was so busy refining the Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill that he had neglected the [Daily Intelligence] trait of this body.
He immediately opened the intelligence panel, and sure enough, new intelligence had been refreshed on the panel.
[Today's completed sect tasks: 3]
[Number of obtainable intelligence: 3]
[Intelligence 1: The Dragon Transformation Sect Master Yu Linglong is alone by the reef south of Dragon Transformation Island, feeling sad. This is the weakest time for her psychological defense. If you can give her effective comfort at this time, you can increase her favorability.]
[Intelligence 2: The world-renowned flower-picking thief, Young Master Qieyu, Chu Yu, has arrived in Bibo City. Hearing your lewd, shameless, and bisexual reputation, he immediately regards you as a like-minded person. If you can meet him, you will surely receive his warm hospitality.]
[Intelligence 3: At the auction held by Baojiantang in Bibo City in two days, a divine weapon called the Jade Shadow Bow will be auctioned. If you are willing to spend a high price to bid, you can acquire it.]
