Chapter 6: First Encounter with the Intent of Fist, Tempering Blood and Bones
Meanwhile, the gold and silver table.
Finn is being criticized and denounced.
"If you weren't my brother, I would have thrown you out and buried you right now."
"You can make money all you want, but you get humiliated in front of a vampire kid? Are you a werewolf? You're more like a dog!"
"I told you to practice your skills more, otherwise you wouldn't be unable to even advance to the first level. You're a disgrace! Just wasting your time every day!"
Finn looked miserable, his face covered in bruises and his teeth were knocked out of shape.
Before him stood a werewolf, much larger and more robust than himself, looking at him with disdain.
"But brother, this matter can't just end like this. If we don't show some results, it will be difficult to collect money from those businessmen in the future."
Brian looked at his brother impatiently, listening to his dry howling, and felt a surge of irritation.
He understood what Finn was saying; the werewolves had established themselves in a vampire city by banding together and fighting each other.
If this matter is left unresolved, he'll have plenty of trouble later on.
"Tell me about that vampire girl first."
Soon, Finn explained the whole story and the grievances to Brian.
After a long while, Brian roughly understood what had happened.
Fenn and Vichy had a past conflict; they had known each other since their time at the Institute of Basic Education, where they were classmates.
In terms of background and talent, they were no different, but Vishi had always strived to become a mage, while Fane had joined a gang with his older brother at a young age.
Fein held Vichy in utter contempt, not for any personal gain, but purely for his character.
Or rather, her desire to become better deeply wounded Finn's moral decline. What annoyed him most was that Vichy was more popular than him, which made his dream of becoming the eldest brother seem particularly ironic.
Amidst a mix of emotions, Fein grew increasingly resentful of Vichy; to put it bluntly, it was jealousy.
However, Finn's boss, Brian, was later promoted to sergeant, and Finn also managed to get a position. Their living areas were no longer the same, and Vichy never succeeded, so the conflict between the two faded away.
If things had continued this way, time would have quickly washed them away. However, fate played a cruel joke, bringing the bullies and the bullied back together once again.
This time, Vishi didn't act like a pushover and directly used her most primal power to deal with Finn.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Brian sighed. In the past, he would have found a reason to cause trouble for Vichy, but unfortunately, he had to be more discreet during this period, at least not too conspicuous.
It is said that a vampire killer is approaching this area. That guy targets alien races and has already killed hundreds of people. His strength is astonishing. Even the Holy Knights of the Empire have been alarmed and are searching for this person all over the world.
After a moment's thought, Brian took a bottle of pale purple potion from the table next to him and tossed it to Finn.
"This is a power-enhancing potion, mixed with a bit of ankylosaur blood. It can maximize your power, and taking down a vampire will be no problem."
"Solve your own problems. Isn't she a gladiator? Go find her in the arena. If you kill her, it's just bad luck for her, and no one will gossip."
Also, tell your people to behave themselves during this time and not cause me any more trouble!
"Hey hey!"
Finn immediately stopped howling, clutched the potion to his chest like a precious treasure, and quickly made his escape.
at the same time.
Vichy returned to the Colosseum.
Along the way, onlookers and gamblers whispered among themselves.
Although Vishi didn't know what they were discussing, he could roughly guess that he had become quite famous in the arena.
It seems she acted too harshly yesterday.
"Oh, Miss Vichy, welcome back."
This time, the ticket seller didn't try to persuade her to be more composed; clearly, Vichy's performance of killing the lion-scorpion beast with her bare hands had left a deep impression on her.
Of course, it's also possible that the gamblers' demands for a refund annoyed her.
"Hello, I'm applying for unarmored combat."
"Hehe, everything's ready. Lots of people have arrived, everyone's been waiting for you."
The ticket seller nodded with a smile, immediately opened the gate, and let Vichy in.
Vichy simply nodded slightly, focusing most of her attention on listening to Shi Qing's telepathic message to her.
"The Blood Python Fist is a Golden Core cultivation technique. It is easy to learn, but mastering it to a high level is not a simple matter."
"The technique has five levels. You have already grasped the essence of the fist, but to enter the level of 'breaking iron like mud,' you still need to cultivate blood and bone, blood intent, and blood flame."
"Eat the pills, hone your blood and energy in battle, and grow your blood and bones. Only in this way can you make up for your deficiencies."
"I wouldn't have taken action if it weren't for the threat of death."
This time, Vichy was not as afraid as he had been the day before.
She took out a Blood Transformation Pill and a Blood Sinking Pill from the purse at her waist and swallowed them both.
The moment she swallowed the Blood Transformation Pill, she felt her blood begin to boil, and she felt an inexhaustible surge of energy.
The Blood-Sinking Pill, on the other hand, draws the boiling blood into her bone marrow, helping her begin to condense her blood and bones.
This feeling was amazing; Vichy felt it was far more powerful than the alchemical potion.
"Teacher, I'm ready!"
"Okay, let's begin."
Vishi suddenly opened his eyes, and just like yesterday, there was another lion-scorpion beast in front of him, surrounded by a full audience.
This time, however, the lion-scorpion beast did not pounce directly at them. Instead, it circled the arena, its fur standing on end.
It is a monster with some intelligence. The girl in front of it may seem weak, but she exudes a threat that cannot be ignored.
He's a formidable enemy!
But it dared not fight back, while Vichy sought to cause it trouble.
Vishi's ponytail fluttered as she sprinted forward, nimbly dodging the lion-scorpion beast's attacks. She punched it in the abdomen, and in an instant, the monster howled in pain, its black scorpion tail whipping out at her.
If it were yesterday, Shi Qing would have been the one to defend her against this attack, but this time, she had already grasped the essence of the fist and her entire body had been tempered.
Vichy suddenly felt a sinking sensation in his waist, power rising from his heels. His fist, tinged with a hint of bloodlust, slammed into his coccyx joint, and with a stomp of his foot, it tore off instantly!
"Aww!"
The lion-scorpion beast immediately let out a wail, its eyes turning blood red. It never expected that Vishi would actually hit its tailbone joint with such precision in that instant, breaking its tail!
"Again!"
More than thirty minutes later, only Vishi remained standing in the duel between man and beast.
The moment the monster fell, a loud cheer erupted from all around.
"Hehe, teacher, I won!"
Vishi grinned foolishly, and Shi Qing nodded slightly in agreement.
To be honest, Vichy's performance was somewhat unexpected.
Although her magical talent was terrible, her physical talent was unexpectedly good; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a genius.
Previously, Vishi had been beaten so badly that she was rolling and crawling, but this time she was able to fight the lion-scorpion beast to a standstill. Although she was still covered in wounds, she was now able to take on the beast on her own.
In just over an hour, Vishi had mastered many fighting techniques without any instruction, effortlessly throwing straight punches, hooks, uppercuts, and jabs.
What's even more impressive is that she has already mastered the technique of refining blood into qi to resist attacks, which Shi Qing had only mentioned to her once before. With another half month of practice, she will definitely be able to refine the blood flame.
The speed of progress can be described as astonishing.
One month is more than enough time to reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Thinking of this, Shi Qing couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes people really don't know what talents they have. A craftsman may never know that he can practice medicine, and a doctor may not know that he is good at climbing.
"Keep going, don't let your guard down."
"The effects of the medicine are wearing off, take a few more pills."
Soon, the once quiet arena was transformed into a bustling metropolis by Vishi.
Many spectators noticed a rising gladiator, and among them, a pair of eyes were fixed on Vichy with great interest.
"You're saying she just came to the fighting arena yesterday and almost got killed by the Lion Scorpion Beast?"
Hem nodded, looked at the paladin before him, and said frankly, "Indeed, Your Excellency."
Upon hearing this, the paladin's interest grew even stronger.
"Interesting. Although she is a vampire, she is skilled in close combat. It seems that the vampire clan has not been so lifeless in recent years. The death of the Holy Blood Princess was not without meaning."
However, they are both skilled in close combat. I wonder if she has any connection with that Blood Demon, or if they were taught by the same teacher?
Upon hearing this, the apprentice standing nearby immediately stood up.
"Mentor, should I arrest and interrogate her?"
The paladin glanced at him but did not answer.
The apprentice immediately realized he had said the wrong thing, but before he could admit his mistake, another round of cheers erupted from the crowd.
Everyone immediately looked into the arena, only to see Vichy make an extremely surprising move.
She was trying to eat the manticore raw, while the manticores locked in cages nearby watched the monster in terror.
