CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 99: WINGED FLYING BEAR, CIRCULATION OF DEATH QI_3

When all the Death Qi in his body was concentrated in his palm, the Black Qi no longer looked so meager. It became like a thin black glove, enveloping Lu Yuan’s right hand and fingers.

Does this Death Qi have an erosion effect similar to that of the Crow God’s Divine Servants? Lu Yuan had this thought and immediately walked out of his bedroom.

It was already afternoon. His grandfather, Lu Yueping, was taking his usual nap, and his father, Lu Xinghua, had gone out on business. No one was around to supervise him.

Lu Yuan sneaked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. He found a piece of pork inside. His grandfather had probably bought it from the market this morning. It was very fresh, with a lot of bloody water accumulated in the plastic bag.

He took out the pork and, using a kitchen knife, cut off a piece roughly the size of half his palm. Then, he slowly poked the pork with his right index finger, which was wreathed in Death Qi.

No sound was emitted. Lu Yuan felt no resistance either. Effortlessly, as if poking a piece of tofu, his finger easily pierced straight through the pork, which was about two-thirds the thickness of his finger.

He withdrew his finger and examined the unfortunate piece of pork again. He found a rotten, blackened hole in the meat. The entire piece of pork had become putrid and stank.

Incredible! Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up slightly. Even though he had long since witnessed the power of the Black Qi when controlled by a Crow God’s Divine Servant, he couldn’t help but marvel now that the same effect was reproduced by his own hand.

Although there isn’t much of it, when concentrated in a fist or at the fingertips, it possesses extremely potent destructive power!

Against the flesh and blood of non-Modified Humans, or any living creature, it’s practically like having a defense-breaching buff!

Next, Lu Yuan tested the defensive capabilities of this Black Qi. He was also very much looking forward to this. After all, a Crow God’s Divine Servant had once resisted Zhou Ling’s mushroom cloud by relying on a thick layer of Death Qi!

The test results were also quite good. He ran his palm, thoroughly enveloped in Death Qi, back and forth across the sharp edge of the kitchen knife. The flesh of his palm beneath the Death Qi sustained no damage at all. It was just that, as time passed, the amount of Death Qi would gradually be consumed. However, replenishing it was relatively convenient, since the total quantity was small.

The entire Death Qi experiment lasted for about twenty minutes. After Lu Yuan dispersed the Death Qi from his hand, he checked his job panel and saw that the Experience Points for his ’Circulation of Death Qi’ skill had increased by 2.

The growth of Experience Points is related to the duration of use. The more Experience Points I have, the higher the skill’s level will be. And the higher the level, the more Death Qi I can control after activating the skill...

Lu Yuan reflected, summarizing a few conclusions.

Overall, the effects are excellent, and it’s a significant boost to my combat strength. If combined with ’Crane Shadow Floating in the Air’ and ’Special Burst,’ it can directly elevate the power of my strongest attack to another level. My trump card has essentially been strengthened.

It’s just that...

A hint of underlying worry appeared in Lu Yuan’s eyes. He looked down at his palm, his gaze flickering.

If I keep using this skill, will I end up like a Crow God’s Divine Servant from the Crow God Sect, corrupted by Death Qi, and ultimately transform into a deformed, crow-like monster that’s neither human nor ghost?!

The appearance of the Crow God’s Divine Servant’s corpse, the one he had killed, was still vivid in his mind. Beneath the crow mask and black crow-feathered robe was a deformed, hideous body covered in disgusting black crow feathers.

He definitely didn’t want to become like that.

I need to look into this.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and chose to enter his Consciousness Space. He activated ’Imaginary Enemy,’ his target: a Crow God’s Divine Servant from the Crow God Sect!
