The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 59: Chapter 58 – Leap One Zhang High

Shen Luo quickly stood upright from the water, scanned his surroundings, and peeked into the cabin for a while. He then slowly sank his body back into the water, his face somewhat gloomy.

It seemed that he accidentally caused a disaster, releasing something that should not have been released.

Shen Luo knitted his eyebrows and gently stroked the tooth mark on his right shoulder, finding that there was no sense of pain. Moreover, the skin there did not break and bleed, as if the tooth mark was drawn on.

But he clearly remembered that before he fainted, his right shoulder was indeed bitten by the phantom skull from the Specter. He could even remember clearly the chill he felt when the teeth touched his skin.

Shen Luo pondered for a moment, then scooped up some river water and sprinkled it on the tooth mark. He rubbed it with a little force, but only managed to rub the surrounding skin a little red. Apart from that, there were no other changes.

The dark red color on the tooth mark seemed to be caused by blood stasis. He wondered if it would eventually fade over time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Luo could not make head or tail of it, so he had to give up for the time being.

He waited until the hot sensation on his body gradually faded away. Grabbing the edge of the stern, he flexed his arms forcefully, intending to use his strength to climb back onto the boat.

Who would have thought that as soon as he exerted force, the whole stern sank as if it had been hit by a giant rock, burying directly under the water. The bow, along with half of the hull, life high in the sky.

Inside the cabin, various objects clattered as they slid back due to the abrupt tilt of the boat.

Fortunately, Shen Luo had quick reflexes and quickly lifted the stern, allowing the risen bow to fall back into the water. The impact created a splash of water, causing waves to ripple across the surface.

“What just happened?”

Shen Luo gently steadied the rocking boat, staring at his hands in disbelief.

Straight after, he turned around to face the raging river on the other side, raised one palm and gave a fierce strike to the water surface with slight effort.

A dull sound echoed from the river’s surface. It was as if a rock weighing hundreds of pounds had been thrown into the river. The water churned violently and the waves surged, contrary to the water flow, pushing a wave as high as several feet upstream.

The wave only lost its momentum several feet away before it fell back into the river. A deep vortex remained at the spot where he had struck which slowly disappeared a few breaths later.

“Why has my strength become so great?” Shen Luo stared at his palm, still finding it hard to believe.

He circled the boat and climbed onto the rubble beach. He saw that the mooring rope used to secure the boat had been snapped due to the sudden rise of the bow earlier. To prevent the boat from drifting away, he quickly tied it up again.

Shen Luo turned around and looked around on the rubble beach. Seeing a stone the size of a human head with a fairly flat surface on the ground, he crouched down next to it.

He extended his palm and gestured on the stone, then suddenly shouted and slapped down. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With a crisp “pa” sound!

Shen Luo frowned, his palm was a little painful and he quickly withdrew it.

He looked down at the stone. A clear palm mark had been left on it where a layer of dust had been smacked off, but the stone itself had not changed at all.

Shen Luo rubbed his palm, slowly stood up and showed an embarrassed smile.

“Crack”

But just as he was about to turn around and return to the boat, a faint sound suddenly came from under his feet.

He frowned slightly, stooped down and gently touched the stone. The seemingly intact stone showed spider-web-like cracks and immediately crumbled into pieces.

Shen Luo’s eyes lit up instantly. He picked up the stone crumbs from the ground, lightly rubbed them, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but hook up.

When he first entered the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Tian Tiesheng demonstrated his “Qingyang Hand” in front of him. The scene of his palm hitting the stone table left a deep impression on him. His current strength was definitely not inferior to that.

“What exactly happened? What happened when I was unconscious?” Shen Luo was increasingly confused.

“Could it be…”

Shen Luo’s mind suddenly jumped to a guess that he wouldn’t have dared to think of before.

To verify this guess, he quickly sat down, crossed his legs and started to chant the mantra of the Small Transformation Yang Technique. The Yang Gang power in his body was mobilized and started to circulate on its own.

The moment he started to cultivate, a red light surged between his hands, forming three-inch-long solid red threads that intertwined with each other like dragons, forming a large sphere.

The red sphere emitted waves of warmth, even a bit of scorching aura. In just a few breaths of time, it vaporized all the moisture on Shen Luo’s body and dried his clothes with its thermal energy.

After a dozen or so breaths, Shen Luo took a deep breath, the red threads in his hands whirling back, directly entering his mouth and nose, making his entire face glow red.

When the red light on his face disappeared, Shen Luo lowered his arms and slowly opened his eyes.

He unveiled a smile that was hard to suppress, and with a sudden leap, he jumped up to a height of several feet. When he landed, he stepped on a cobblestone, making a dull “boom” sound.

“Full of strength, light bones, condensed Yang Qi externally is like the red sun, while the Gang Qi is retracted internally and reflects a red glow on the face. This is the state of perfection.” Shen Luo clenched his hands, chanting the contents of the “Small Transformation Yang Technique”.

All the changes in him at this moment proved one thing, his Small Transformation Yang Technique had actually reached perfection!

“Perfected, perfected… haha, it’s actually perfected!” He couldn’t help but jumped up again and cheered.

However, the moment he moved, he felt a faint pain in every meridian of his body.

This pain forced him to suppress his excitement and begin to wonder why he suddenly went from just beginning the Small Transformation Yang Technique to reaching perfection overnight.

“Could it be because of that Specter illusion?” Shen Luo instinctively looked at the tooth mark on his shoulder again.

It was after being bitten by that Specter that he fainted, and when he woke up, he became like this. The most likely reason he could think of was this.

But as for why it happened, he had no clue.

However, no matter what, the perfection of this Small Transformation Yang Technique is excellent news.

According to Master Fengyang’s speculation, this means that he has several more years to live.

As long as during this period, he could learn the Pure Yang Sword Technique or learn something from the Nameless Heavenly Book, he is very likely to extend his life again. He may even have a chance to embark on the path of cultivating immortality for real!
