Chapter 529

~8 min read 1,532 words

"Hoo!"

Hot air circulated in the cabin.

His whole body felt as if it were being scorched by a fierce fire, ignited from the spine, rolling outward, burning every inch of blood and flesh.

The third talent change!

Perhaps because he had experienced it too many times, Liang Qu frowned slightly, not having the expected pain, but rather enjoying it, enjoying the process of his body being like refined iron thrown into a furnace, constantly being tempered into steel.

A-Wei's back armor opened and closed, its wings retracted, crawling back and forth in front of window cracks and door cracks, carefully collecting information scattered in the air.

"Such a powerful pressure, could it be that Lord Liang's martial arts have improved again?"

"I'm a cook. Lord Liang just had a thought and had an epiphany. Sure enough!"

"Is it really an epiphany?"

"It can't be fake. Genius epiphany, eating and drinking water—it's natural."

Watermen on the deck were busy, gathering fishing nets, cleaning the deck, preparing for the last night's fishing, and couldn't help but gather around to chat when they sensed the vast power.

One layer up.

Ke Ko Wenbin wore a pair of large underpants, grabbed the railing, and hunted in the wind.

"It's late, why don't you go to rest, Ke Elder?" The external affairs clerk remembered that it shouldn't be Ke Ko Wenbin's turn to guard tonight.

"Too noisy, can't sleep."

Too noisy?

The clerk was confused.

Tonight the wind was calm and the waves were still, clearly much quieter than the previous few days.

Cabin.

The talent change entered the final stage.

The scorching high temperature baked the floor until it turned gray, and sweat beads the size of beans dripped into the cracks.

Liang Qu took a deep breath, knowing there was one key step left, and emptied his mind.

Shortly after.

His vision suddenly blurred.

The world was dark, and the lead-gray river surface rose and fell.

Huge waves were like curtains; one wave hadn't fallen before it was smashed to pieces by the next, water foam splashing.

It's coming!

Liang Qu steadied his mind and looked down.

A terrifyingly large black shadow swam underwater, the surging river surface bulged, and a terrifying creature with deer antlers broke the water surface, the torrent collapsing.

Two suns rose into the sky, brilliant and impossible to look at directly!

Returned to the River Lord perspective?

Having experienced the same scene three times, Liang Qu was familiar with the road, and soon locked onto his own position—it was the River Lord, not the Jiaolong!

Luckily!

The first time his realm was too low, the River Lord perspective just felt shocking, but he didn't learn anything.

The second time his realm was still not high, under the Jiaolong perspective, he barely imitated some subtle charm by relying on the third layer 【Storing Spirit】 of "Ten Thousand Victories Holding Yuan."

Now the third time, it could be considered practice makes perfect. Liang Qu finally grasped some tricks, emptied his thinking, and radiated his consciousness.

Come on!

Shortly after.

The divine general waved his gun.

Heaven and earth lost their sound.

The sound of tides, wind, and roars disappeared.

Everything flashed into black and white, and twisted, jumping lines filled the world.

Tangible things, intangible things, all looked like fragile stick figures. Wherever the three-pointed two-edged blade passed, no line was unbroken, penetrating through!

Liang Qu's brow jumped, his brain aching.

The river surface thousands of meters deep cracked and sank, the Jiaolong skull cracked, and two suns squeezed out from the eye sockets with blood lines, only making half a wail before the whole body's tendons, bones, blood, and flesh shattered in an instant, exploding into a large blood mist!

A sea of blood for a thousand miles!

Countless big fish, driven by primitive desires, overcame their fear and swam up desperately.

They bit each other, swallowed each other.

The dragon blood that couldn't be digested made the first arrivals swell and burst, only to be swallowed and divided by the later arrivals.

The sea of blood became even more scarlet...

【Sublimated River Lord Emperor favor, obtained Martial Dao Divine Connection Third Layer, martial arts talent increased by three times, damage to water-attribute spirit monsters increased by thirty percent.】

【Absorbed a little River Lord Emperor charm, Storing Spirit transformed into Divine Lord Seal.】

【Consume three spirit fish, can sublimate favor: Martial Dao Divine Connection Third Layer.】

"Hoo, hoo."

Liang Qu opened his eyes, sweat pouring down like rain, his lips pale and cracked, gasping for breath, his pupils losing focus for a long time.

A quarter of an hour later.

His breathing gradually slowed.

However, Liang Qu's thoughts were still stagnant, and he couldn't make any response to the changes in the outside world.

Two quarters of an hour.

His fingers trembled slightly.

Half an hour.

Liang Qu's pupils focused, returning from a semi-rigid state. His muscles trembled slightly, but they couldn't provide any support, instead destroying his meditation balance, and he fell to the ground.

Tired.

Extremely tired.

Spirit, flesh—nothing was not overdrawn.

A-Wei opened its wings, landed on the ground, bit his collar with its mouth, and its six-leaf wings trembled rapidly, dragging Liang Qu onto the bed.

It flew to the table, opened the drawer, turned out the water pot, bit off the bottle cap, landed on Liang Qu's chest, used its body to hold the water pot, and fed him bit by bit.

A full hour.

Liang Qu finally regained a little mobility, but he still couldn't make big movements, like a patient recovering from a serious illness, panting heavily after walking two steps.

"Gulp, gulp."

Drinking the remaining half pot of water in one breath, Liang Qu became thirstier the more he drank, his brain dizzy.

Now the vortex capacity was expanding rapidly, but the liquid inside couldn't be layered, all mixed with 【Yellow Water Disaster Poison】, and drinking it would cause a stomach perforation.

Creak.

A-Wei flashed to push the door.

"Pingjiang!"

Liang Qu leaned against the wall and went out, preparing to let the Dragon-Men find some water for him.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon-Men weren't called, but Ke Ko Wenbin, Xiang Fang Su, and Bai Bai Yinbin heard the sound and ran over first.

Without a word.

Xiang Fang Su grabbed his hands, and Bai Bai Yinbin and Ke Ko Wenbin each hugged a leg, lifting Liang Qu from the ground, and in a flash, they passed through the narrow corridor and brought him out.

"Hey hey hey!"

Liang Qu's lips were scorched and his mouth was dry, unable to call out, completely powerless to resist, and could only watch helplessly as the three lifted him onto the deck.

The night river breeze carried a hint of coolness, and a few small fish were hidden in the white foam rippling at the stern.

"One, two, three!"

"Go!"

Grab the person, throw them into the river.

Done in one go.

The shadow of the person and the shadow of the moon overlapped, the wind whistled in his ears, and as he rose to the highest point, Liang Qu's slow thinking finally reacted, and a strong sense of weightlessness hit his heart.

"Damn!"

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere.

"A-Shui hasn't woken up yet?"

"Not yet, he's been sleeping for a day and a night. He seems to have consumed a lot of spirit in this epiphany."

"Could it be an epiphany in terms of unique skills?"

"A-Shui isn't practicing eye techniques? I heard that practicing eye techniques consumes a lot of spirit."

"Damn, it's really damn! We shouldn't have gone into the water to fish him out last night! Sink him into the river to feed the fish!"

The three ate lunch and made harsh threats.

The kitchen door was slammed open, and the noon light shot in, unable to see clearly who it was.

Liang Qu rushed to the table, snatched Ke Ko Wenbin's meal, grabbed the beef ribs inside, and swallowed them in big mouthfuls, not even letting go of the bones, crunching them to pieces and swallowing.

"Damn, my Iron Mountain beef! 20 taels a catty!"

"Iron Mountain beef? Why does your beef have a fishy smell?" Liang Qu complained while eating. "It's really hard to eat."

"My stock hidden in the frozen fish boat, prepared to celebrate the day before going ashore..." Ke Ko Wenbin was lifeless.

"If you can't finish it, take it out earlier. It's all tainted with the smell. This is wasting good things." Liang Qu swallowed in big mouthfuls.

Ke Ko Wenbin: "..."

Empty plates were piled up layer by layer.

"Hoo! Alive again."

Throwing the last two bones out the window to feed the fish, Liang Qu burped.

Sleeping for half a day and a night, and having a full meal, he finally recovered from the aftereffects of the River Lord beheading the Jiaolong.

"Your epiphany consumed enough. What did you come up with?" Xiang Fang Su looked him up and down.

Liang Qu hugged his arms and pressed against the table, opening his mouth.

The crowd leaned forward.

"Forget it, I won't say. I'm afraid you'll think it's not worth living and jump into the river."
