One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

At last—

"Bang!"

Su Heng clenched both of his fists simultaneously with force, and the bird and the fierce bear dispersed together.

They transformed into pure kinetic energy, which Su Heng absorbed into his body.

These bird and bear forms were the result of over twenty days of practicing the Five Internal Organs Sealing God technique by Su Heng.

The Five Internal Organs Sealing God corresponded to the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird: five different divine spirits. Among them, the bird shape corresponded to the lungs. It could increase lung capacity and enhance blood oxygen exchange capabilities through the arms’ movements and a series of special breathing techniques, ensuring enduring stamina in battle that continues without cease.

The bear shape, on the other hand, corresponded to the spleen. It could enhance digestive ability to a certain extent, regulate blood, and strengthen the muscles throughout the body.

The Five Internal Organs Sealing God technique saw only two of its divine forms brought to great mastery by Su Heng.

The transformation level of the five organs had already reached 2.3.

Indeed, as Li Wangchuan had said, its potency was exceptional, belonging to a class of its own within the entire Jiang E region.

If the remaining three divine forms were fully mastered,

The five organs corresponded to the five elements, which, in a mutually generating cycle, would bring Su Heng’s transformation level of his five organs to over six and possibly even surpassing seven without any problem.

The muscles were responsible for explosive power, the bones for strength and defense, and the tendons and blood respectively for balance, agility, and Healing abilities.

As for the current state of the five organs, with the increasing level of transformation, Su Heng could clearly feel improvements in his endurance, metabolic rate, energy recovery, and other aspects. To describe it in a more traditional way, the five organs corresponded to constitution.

Constitution is the foundation of tendons, bones, and muscles.

The higher the attributes of tendons, bones, and muscles, the stronger the burst in battle.

And the stronger the five organs and six entrails, the longer the duration of the burst. Moreover, both were interconnected, after all, these are all inseparable parts of the human body. Therefore, tendons, bones, muscles, blood, organs, and entrails—prior to Heavenly Deceit’s six realms—all needed to be vigorously cultivated without too much skewness appearing in any area.

"It’s been over twenty days since the end of the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm and my retreat into secluded cultivation. The matters of the Dragon Guards should also be moved up on the agenda soon," Su Heng thought decisively, "It’s time to go out and move around a bit." �

Night,

White Crane City, Jiangzhou.

Outside the city, a secluded mountain forest with mountains and waters.

Zhao Meiying covered her wounded right forearm with her hand, her fingers pressing so hard that the joints turned somewhat pale. Yet blood continued to seep through her fingers, leaving a red trail down her fair arm before splashing onto the ground with a "pat."

At this moment, her expression was somewhat panicked, with cold sweat oozing from her forehead, but she didn’t bother to wipe it off.

Crossing a gloomy and dark forest, a ravine lay ahead.

She lightly tapped her toes on the ground.

Traverse the ravine with an agile flip.

Before she had a chance to observe the surrounding environment, a sharp and piercing sound of air being torn apart exploded from beside her.

Zhao Meiying, experienced in battle,

Dodged forward instinctively, her center of gravity quickly sinking.

Bang!

A streak of darkness exploded behind her.

Sparking flames, moist soil splattered, covering her body.

The intense heatwave came unexpectedly, unbalancing Zhao Meiying, who was abruptly knocked over and tumbled awkwardly to the ground. Through the writhing tree branches, the silvery bright full moon flashed across the gloomy night sky.

Zhao Meiying’s head "bang" hit a protruding rock at the bottom of the grassy slope, darkening her vision.

Amidst the footsteps, a black-clothed, masked assassin was closing in quickly.

On his blood-stained night attire, an "Lun" character was embroidered over the chest area with dark gold thread.

Zhao Meiying gritted her teeth,

And drew out a dagger strapped to her thigh with her left hand, holding it tightly.

Her true lethal move, however, was in her injured right hand. The strength of her entire body was concentrated in the fingertips of her right hand, trembling slightly. She was just waiting for the assassin to draw near, his attention caught by the blade in her left hand. Then she would suddenly explode forth, her right hand aiming to pierce his heart.

However—

Even though Zhao Meiying had already been severely injured,

The shadowy assassin halted his steps over ten meters from her.

He drew a finely crafted hand crossbow from his waist belt, a green-light-rimmed crossbow arrow aimed at Zhao Meiying, ready to pull the trigger.

"..." Zhao Meiying clenched her teeth in mute frustration.

Just as she was about to abandon her ambush and choose a desperate fight, the ground suddenly shook, and dirt and pebbles floated gently in the air.

Crack!

From inside the dense forest to the left, a tree large enough to require two people to encircle was violently toppled.

Amidst the dust, a giant over two meters tall with a black face and curly beard, like a butcher, burst out from within. He let out a beast-like roar that shook the spirit, then spread his arms wide and charged towards the black-clothed assassin.

Crack!

In the sudden turn of events, the black-clothed assassin had no time to react.

Like prey snatched by a ferocious tiger, in an instant, he was engulfed by the giant’s embrace. The giant’s arms, muscles bulging, produced a grating sound of bones that sent chills down the spine.

The assassin opened his mouth to scream, only to be stifled by the rush of blood and viscera. His limbs convulsed violently for moments. But with a "crack" sound, all signs of life ceased.

"Whew..." Zhao Meiying patted her chest and heaved a great sigh of relief.

She gritted her teeth and propped herself up with the rock, climbing up from the grassy slope. Zhao Meiying shook her head with a bitter smile, "It’s good that you’re here, Ran Dong. Otherwise, I really would’ve been in a bad way this time."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"In these troubled times..."

This giant named Ran Dong was one of the twelve generals of the Demon Suppression Army in Jiangzhou.
