Chapter 156 - Break Up and Recombine
At the very least, Zhu Xin Yi at this moment was no longer afraid to the point that she had even been eager to try and fight again like what happened a while ago.
"Don't move too far away, or else it would be harder for me to protect you."
Wei Xiao Bei looked at Zhu Xin Yi's appearance and roughly knew her thoughts.
In reality, humans had always kept their bloodthirst in their hearts. Due to the restrictions of human society, they had suppressed this thirst so that they could stay humans and not be beasts.
Naturally, this did not mean that Zhu Xin Yi had become a beast, but rather, the changes in her heart would make her stronger than the majority of men.
While watching Zhu Xin Yi's back as she moved towards a Green Dwarf, Wei Xiao Bei knew that Zhu Xin Yi could be considered an experienced soldier and not a weak, naive girl.
Wei Xiao Bei lightly sighed as he did not know if this change was for the better or for the worse.
In reality, a majority of the Green Dwarfs had already escaped and only a few of them were still fighting.
The habits of the Green Dwarfs were strange. They had just experienced a bloodbath, but now, after spreading out a little, they had quickly returned back to normal, picking up random bits of grass, mushroom, rhizomes, fruits, and other type of food.
However, this did not mean they were harmless.
When a Green Dwarf that had been digging the ground with a rusted knife, heard Zhu Xin Yi's approaching footsteps, it raised its head, and when it saw a human girl approaching, raised its knife and pounced forwarward.
This might be due to the Green Dwarfs having a short memory, or because they thought that human women were weak.
Wei Xiao Bei did not continue paying attention anymore, since there were only a few Green Dwarfs left there. Additionally, the smell of blood coming from the piles of corpses of Green Dwarfs made majority of the Green Dwarfs unconsciously avoid the place.
As long as Zhu Xin Yi did not go stupid, there should be no problem.
After all, humans were stronger than the Green Dwarfs. Moreover, Zhu Xin Yi with a machete was not to be trifled with.
Wei Xiao Bei placed only a bit of attention on Zhu Xin Yi. He sat down on the grass and then lied down, feeling certain comfort after fighting such a huge battle. He took a look at his status panel...
2145 evolution points!
Wei Xiao Bei remembered the 1600 points he had earned rhe last time, and then looked at the evolution points that had now exceeded 2000 points.
With this many evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei naturally did not let them grow mold in his status panel.
It was just that previously, he did not have the chance to allocate them due to the ferocity of the previous battle.
Now that the battle ended and Zhu Xin Yi was patrolling and killing Green Dwarfs, it was much more safer now. At the very least, it was much more safer than running back to the food street.
After all, Wei Xiao Bei could not judge if the Mist Draconic Horse was still there or not.
Wei Xiao Bei unhesitantly placed his evolution points into sturdiness.
Wei Xiao Bei knew that increasing his sturdiness would cause changes to his body. These changes would without a doubt amaze those who knew him well.
However, Wei Xiao Bei would not just disregard sturdiness because of this.
Every attribute in the status panel had their uses.
The purpose of sturdiness was to carry the burden the muscle attribute gave him, and it had even increased his strength.
This was like an elephant fighting an ape. The ape was admittedly stronger than an elephant, but in a true confrontation, the elephant could rely on its weight to crush an ape.
The higher his sturdiness, the more robust his body would become. This would allow him to resist stronger attacks whether it was from himself or from his enemy.
14.96, 14.97, 14.98, 14.99, 15!
What Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that when he increased his sturdiness to 15 points, a large surge of something warm flowed throughout his body. He felt as if lava was spreading all over his body, and then he felt pain as if his body was being torn apart.
Most of his muscles and bones instantly split apart and then recombined. This repeated continuously as his body was seemed to be slowly pulled longer.
From the very beginning, Wei Xiao Bei felt the endless passage of time.
The surging pain rushed to his brain over and over again, preventing him from fainting.
The pain was much more violent and fierce than that time at Cui Hu University.
Wei Xiao Bei even believed that if he did not divert his attention from the pain, he would eventually go crazy at the end of it.
Breathing technique!
Wei Xiao Bei began to practise some breathing techniques.
The greatest advantage of breathing techniques was that it can be done in any posture. It could even be trained while sleeping.
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei had not tried it when sleeping before, since his had not yet reached that level of expertise.
When he began his breathing techniques, the pain coming from all over his body seemed to have been separated by a layer of film. He could still faintly feel the pain, but it was a lot lesser than what he had just experienced.
While training, his mind calmed down, and he even began training his Qi.
Wei Xiao Bei would usually train his Qi with a standing static stance.
In reality, the static stance of Guo Shu relies on a fixed posture to strengthen the Qi and recuperate the body.
Wei Xiao Bei's attempt of training Qi while lying down was a first in Bajiquan.
However, doing this kind of attempt would always end tragically.
This was also something that could not be helped. All the static stances in Guo Shu had been finely tuned by countless Guo Shu experts and masters, resulting in the greatest efficiency that was visible today.
There was no need even comparing one person's senses to a group of people's.
However, Wei Xiao Bei had a hidden trump card in his hands. Since his entire body was spliting apart and recombining, any setbacks in training Qi would not be much. Moreover, with his vitality, even if something bad truly happened, his recovery speed would still be a lot faster than normal people.
His consciousness sunk as he looked at his Dantian.
As he did this, the influence from the pain of his body splitting apart and recombing had disappeared, making him relax.
In reality, the Dantian's location was within the range of where Wei Xiao Bei's parts had been splitting and recombining, but Wei Xiao Bei was amazed the Dantain appeared to be in a separate states, as if it was in a separate space. As the body continued to split and recombine, more uncontrollable Qi was created.
As long as his Inner Sight was not interrupted, there should be no problem in gathering Qi and opening his meridians.
The amount of Qi created by his body was more than 10 times the normal amount. It was like a tide as it surged into his Dantian.
Wei Xiao Bei easily controlled his Qi and sent it flowing through his meridians. In less than half a second, it entered his Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point.
Wei Xiao Bei was amazed at this. Normally, moving the Qi into the meridian was not be as stable and he would normally lose 30 percent of it.
However, this time, the Qi that flowed into the Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point seemed to not have decreased at all. On the contrary, it even absorbed more uncontrollable Qi inside the acupuncture point, becoming bigger.
Before the Qi entered the acupuncture point, it was already big. After it left, it had absorbed the Qi inside and increased in size.
As a result of this, when the Qi reached the Ju Jue Acupuncture Points, it had already reached twice its size compared to when it was in the Dantian.
However, even though the Qi was this big, Wei Xiao Bei did not feel any swelling in his blood channels, meridians, and acupuncture points at all. On the contrary, he even felt comfortable.
Wei Xiao Bei did not waste anymore time since there were no anomalies and urged his Qi forward.
After the Qi left the Ju Jue Acupuncture Point, the blood channel was still blocked.
However, with his experience and the size of the Qi, the pain had decreased by a lot.
The blood channel was different from before. It felt more like a quagmire instead of a steal blockade. The speed his Qi moved was a lot faster than before. Moreover, the consumption of the Qi was about 50 percent less compared to before.
What surprised Wei Xiao Bei the most was that when the Qi moved to the Ju Wei Acupuncture Point, the Qi had knocked against the impurities and immediately scattered them into nothing.
Isn't this too easy?
Wei XIao Bei was puzzled. After all, he previously needed three strikes before he was able to get rid of the impurities. The further meridians should have required more than that.
However, he was now able to do things so easily, and the pain was even less than before.
Naturally, the pain might have been suppressed by the pain from his body splitting up.
When the Qi entered the Jiu Wei Acupuncture Point and absorbed more Qi, it had fully replenished and grown a bit more bigger.
Wei Xiao Bei suspected that these changes should have something to do with his sturdiness at 15 points.
However, he did not dare become distracted right now. He took advantage of this heaven-granted opportunity to continue opening his meridians.
Zhong Ting Acupuncture Point! Open!
Shan Zhong Acupuncture Point! Open!
Yu Tang Acupuncture Point! Open!
He continued opening more meridians and reached the Chang Jiang Acupuncture Point.
This acupuncture point was located at the sunken cavity below the lips. It is also the final acupuncture point.
After this, the Qi would have nowhere to go anymore.
However, these 8 meridians were originally linked to the 12 blood channels.
Wei Xiao Bei naturally understood what this meant. In the Chang Jiang Acupuncture Point, there were many fine blood channels that were connected to various acupuncture points.
Chapter 157 - Charm Increase!
As Qi continued to flow through the tiny blood channels, it reached the Di Cang Acupuncture Point.
The blood channel for the Di Cang Acupuncture Point was originally narrow, but when the Qi flowed through it, it was as if the blood channel tore apart.
The pain was currently nothing for Wei Xiao Bei.
The blood channel underwent a strong tension caused by his body's splitting and recombining. After a bit of pain, the blood channel opened up as Qi entered his Di Cang Acupuncture Point.
In reality, every acupuncture point had impurities in them.
They were only cleared when Wei Xiao Bei had previously circulated his uncontrollable Qi.
The uncontrollable Qi appeared to be the same as the Qi that he could control, but they were actually worlds apart.
Uncontrollable Qi was thin and capable of entering blood channels, acupuncture points, organs, etc. It could even push out the impurities.
Real Qi was different. It could only circulate within the blood channels and was unable to separate from them. However, its density and effects were 10 times more powerful compared to uncontrollable Qi.
If uncontrollable Qi was like a feather in midair, then real Qi was like a thick fog.
Naturally, compared to opening his eight meridians, opening the blood channel toward the Di Cang Acupuncture Point was a lot easier.
When the Qi reached the Di Cang Acupuncture Point, it moved downward and expanded the various blood channels along the way.
As the Qi flowed through various blood channels and acupuncture points, it reached the Qi Chong Acupuncture Point.
After that, he circulated it toward the Hui Yin Acupuncture Point.
The Hui Yin (Perineum) Acupuncture Point was one of the most important acupuncture points in the body.
Countless online users even praised it and made poems about it.
For example, there was a famous saying in a poem: "The superior man is satisfied and composed; the wicked man is always full of distress."
A chinese expression was also given for it: The chicken has flown out of the coop, and the eggs are broken.
There was also a famous martial arts move for it: Immortal plucking peaches.
Etc.
In short, this acupuncture point was important.
The acupuncture point was located between the scrotum/vulva and the anus.
As Qi entered the Hui Yin Acupuncture Point, Wei Xiao Bei felt something strange. He felt that the pain coming from his body had dispersed this strange feeling into pieces.
In reality, Wei Xiao Bei did not realize that entering this acupuncture point when the body was in a normal condition would give an erection for more than half an hour.
If he truly had an erection at the moment, he would lose all face in front of Zhu Xin Yi.
After the Qi moved out of the Hui Yin Acupuncture Point, it moved upwards,then passed through more blood channels, and finally returned back to his Dantian.
Until now, the effects of finally opening his blood channels and circulating his Qi during this short time was the same as urging Qi to move through the blood channels for a week.
When the Qi returned back to his Dantian, Wei Xiao Bei immediate felt that the pain coming from his body had decreased by more than 30 percent.
The uncontrollable Qi inside his body once again became vigorous.
Wei Xiao Bei continuously circulated his Qi a few more times until the pain in his body completely dissipated.
This was not the effect of circulating his Qi, but rather it was because his body had finished splitting and recombining.
Wei Xiao Bei quickly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings.
When his body was splitting and recombining, Wei Xiao Bei was cut off from the outer world. As a result, he would not know if anything happened even if the apocalypse started.
Now that he had taken a good look around, he deemed that it was safe everywhere. The only issue was that Zhu Xin Yi had ran farther than before, and a Green Dwarf stood beside her.
This was the strangest part. The Green Dwarf was actually following behind Zhu Xin Yi without attacking her at all.
On the contrary, whenever Zhu Xin Yi would point at another Green Dwarf, it would raise its kitchen knife and attack the other Green Dwarf without caring about its fellow brethren at all.
Disregarding how powerful the Green Dwarf was, as long as it attracted the attention of the opposing Green Dwarf, Zhu Xin Yi would be able to kill the opposing Green Dwarf easier.
"Girl, come here."
Wei Xiao Bei walked slowly toward them. A cold wind blew over, causing him to tremble.
His clothes were already drenched in sweat, and his recently reconstructed body was very weak, resulting in him being unable to endure the wind when it blew past him.
"Brother Wei! Brother Wei! Take a look, this is my captured monster! I named him Xiao Chou."
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei stand up, Zhu Xin Yi excitedly ran over. The Green Dwarf also eagerly followed behind.
Even if it saw Wei Xiao Bei, the Green Dwarf was not afraid at all. It raised its kitchen knife and looked at Wei Xiao Bei as if he was prey.
Seeing this, Zhu Xin Yi patted the Green Dwarf's head and spoke in a tone of a kindergarten teacher, "Xiao Chou, this is brother Wei. You must be polite."
A Green Dwarf had intelligence that was not that high. However, it seemed to be able to understand simple human words. After being informed by Zhu Xin Yi, the vigor in the Green Dwarf's body disappeared as it obediently stood beside Zhu Xin Yi. It did not even look at Wei Xiao Bei and played with the knife in its hand, just like a kindergartener who could not accept the teacher's words.
Wei Xiao Bei did not care if the Green Dwarf was polite to him or not. What he was interested in was Zhu Xin Yi's condition.
"What's this all about?" Wei Xiao Bei pointed at the Green Dwarf and doubtfully asked.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei inquire about the Green Dwarf, Zhu Xin Yi had a proud expression on her face, "Brother Wei, you did not know? When I thought I was about to be killed by this monster, I screamed. In the end, this monster seemed to obey me."
Wei Xiao Bei pondered for a bit and continued asking, "Do you feel anything strange about your body? For example, have you gotten stronger ,or can you run faster?"
"About this, I don't think so."
Zhu Xin Yi wrinkled her brows and pouted. Two small dimples appeared on her face as she thought for a bit before answering.
"No changes?"
Wei Xiao Bei was slightly puzzled.
Zhu Xin Yi should have already killed around 17-18 Green Dwarfs including the new corpses of Green Dwarfs around the place.
If it was converted to evolution points, it should be more than 150 points.
This should have been enough to cause changes to her status.
"Ah, right. I felt that my skin had become glossier. Does that count?"
Zhu Xin Yi suddenly muttered.
Wei Xiao Bei's ears were sharp. Let alone her muttering, he would even be able to hear a mutter from 50 meters away.
Skin became glossier?
Hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei acted without thinking. He reached out and clasped Zhu Xin Yi's hand. Sure enough, it was a bit glossier and whiter.
"Let me see your face."
When Wei Xiao Bei had caught her hand, Zhu Xin Yi bashfully lowered her head. On the contrary, when the Green Dwarf witnessed this scene, it thought that Wei Xiao Bei was about to attack its master. It raised its kitchen knife and cut toward Wei Xiao Bei's knee.
Wei Xiao Bei slightly raised his right leg and kicked the Green Dwarf away.
That said, Wei Xiao Bei felt that the Green Dwarf subdued by Zhu Xin Yi was stronger than normal Green Dwarfs. Its demeanor was also tougher, which could have been attributed to it killing a few of its brethren.
Seeing the Green Dwarf raise its knife at Wei Xiao Bei, Zhu Xin Yi was startled as she tried to quickly block it, but she was too late as Wei Xiao Bei had already kicked it away.
In this moment, Wei Xiao Bei was able to clearly see Zhu Xin Yi's face.
It's just as I suspected.
Not only did Zhu Xin Yi's skin become glossier, her face also became prettier.
Most of the evolution points she gained from killing the Green Dwarfs had been placed into her charm attribute!
There is no doubt about it!
After all, the Dust World was not a beauty salon. It was impossible for Zhu Xin Yi to become this beautiful without a good cause.
Since there were no other changes to her body, then this was the only answer.
After withdrawing his hand, Wei Xiao Bei became aware that what he had done was slightly overboard.
Although the custom of 'men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things' had become obsolete, it was still inappropriate to touch other peoples' ' hands and faces for no reason especially after maturity. Moreover, their relationship was only at most friends.
After giving out a hollow laugh, Wei Xiao Bei took out the remaining hardtacks and two packs of water bags. He placed them on the ground and made a gesture. Wei Xiao Bei then picked up the hardtack and water as he began eating.
After the previous large fight and his body reconstruction, he felt that his body was incredibly weakened, and it was time to replenish himself.
At this time, Zhu Xin Yi also felt hungry. She picked up a hardtack and took a small bite, which caused her to become more famished. As a result, her reservations had disappeared as she quickly nibbled on the hardtack and drank big gulps of water.
Who knew if Zhu Xin Yi's Green Dwarf was the most intelligent among the Green Dwarfs, but it at the very least was not an idiot. Seeing its master begin to eat and drink with the man, it looked side to side. Discerning that its master and the man did not pay attention to it, it carefully tiptoed up to them and grabbed a pack of hardtack as it stuffed the hardtack into its mouth.
The Green Dwarf did not notice that there was a layer of plastic around the hardtack. When it bit down once, not only did it not bite onto a piece of hardtack, but also two of its teeth had fallen out.
Seeing its pained expression, Zhu Xin Yi smiled but immediately, shyly looked back at Wei Xiao Bei.
Zhu Xin Yi roughly knew from looking at the situation in the Dust World that food and water was very difficult to find.
Moreover, Xiao Chou had already taken a pack of hardtack and stuffed it into its mouth. She was afraid that her brother Wei would be unhappy.
