Chapter 58: New Talent (2/3, seeking first subscription!)

“What to do?”

Meng Zhangqing was worried.

Why did this guy faint just like that?

Now he didn’t know when he would wake up.

He couldn’t just wait here for him; time was very important.

“So weak, don’t ask people to use full strength; you couldn’t even hold on to my sixty percent.”

Meng Zhangqing shook his head slightly.

After inspection, the injuries on Soul-Breaking’s body weren’t actually that serious.

A bit heavier than a minor injury.

Logically, he shouldn’t have fainted.

He guessed there were other reasons.

But this also made Meng Zhangqing change the second-grade healing elixir to a first-grade one.

Second-grade ones were relatively precious.

If he could avoid using them, he would.

As the elixir was taken, Soul-Breaking gradually woke up.

But when he opened his eyes and saw Meng Zhangqing, he subconsciously shrank his body and squeezed backward.

But behind him was the mountain wall, and there was no space at all.

“What do you want to do?”

Soul-Breaking couldn’t help but ask.

“Don’t look at me so vigilantly; I just healed your injuries.”

Meng Zhangqing said with a smile.

“Healed?”

Sensing the medicinal power in his body, Soul-Breaking’s expression relaxed, and he said seriously, “Thank you.”

“No need for words of thanks; let’s talk about business.”

Meng Zhangqing didn’t want to hear these.

“Business?”

Soul-Breaking was stunned.

“Yeah, before we fought, didn’t we have an additional condition?”

“If I win, you have to agree to become my friend.”

Meng Zhangqing said.

“...”

Soul-Breaking suddenly didn’t know what to say.

He hadn’t paid any attention to this condition at first.

After all, how could he lose to an ordinary disciple?

But the result was the opposite.

“I’m so weak, what qualifications do I have to be your friend.”

Soul-Breaking said with some self-deprecation.

After these few battles, his confidence had long been worn away.

And in his view.

At least one had to have equal strength to become friends.

“I don’t look at strength when making friends; I look at... uh, I look at whether we click.”

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly. “Now you should fulfill it.”

“Since you don’t mind, then I am willing to be your friend.”

Soul-Breaking didn’t think much.

A bet is a bet; he had to admit it.

Besides, this person was stronger than him.

“Ding!”

“Friend added successfully!”

“Current favorability: One Star”

“Obtained attribute: Talent 【Iron Hand】”

The system’s voice rang in his mind.

Meng Zhangqing raised his eyebrows.

Not bad.

It actually counted as a useful attribute.

He thought he would get something like comprehension or root bone, and was prepared to decompose it.

As for talent, it could be fused.

“Can you still walk?”

Meng Zhangqing stood up.

Addition successful, so he had to continue to brush for opportunity points.

“Yes.”

Soul-Breaking nodded.

“Then I’ll go first; goodbye, friend.”

Meng Zhangqing turned and left.

Disappearing from Soul-Breaking’s field of vision.

“What a strange guy.”

Soul-Breaking withdrew his gaze.

Making friends, neither asking his name nor introducing himself.

It was completely like going through the motions.

Forget it, some geniuses just have weird brains.

Maybe they aren’t normal.

But in the inner sect, when did such a monstrous guy appear?

Looking at him, he should have comprehended Sword Intent while in the Opening Aperture Realm.

“Martial Dao Intent.”

Soul-Breaking whispered.

Looking at the ranks of true disciples, only those ranked at the top could possess it.

“Sigh.”

Soul-Breaking sighed softly.

Although his injuries had improved a lot, he didn’t want to leave this mountain wall anymore.

Just staying inside quietly like this.

Was also not bad.

The outside was really too dangerous; what if he went out and met another pervert, and was beaten into a mountain wall again? That would be so uncomfortable.

――

“System, fuse attributes.”

Walking into the waterfall, Meng Zhangqing opened the panel directly.

“Ding!”

“Fusion starting.”

A familiar feeling appeared, just like when he fused Clever Hands before.

Cold as water, growing under the skin of his hands.

It took a full stick of incense time to gradually disappear.

【Iron Hand】: Hands that are naturally extremely hard; when practicing palm techniques, fist techniques, and other martial skills, there will be more obvious effects.

Meng Zhangqing looked at his hands, clenching and relaxing his ten fingers.

Compared to before, they were indeed much harder.

And some structures had changed.

Once he practiced palm techniques or fist techniques, he would get twice the result with half the effort, like a fish in water.

“Although Bai Suxi’s 【Clever Hands】 is suitable for practicing sword, it is also applicable to palm and fist techniques.”

“【Clever Hands】 plus 【Iron Hand】 will not be as simple as one plus one.”

“It can greatly increase the power of palm techniques and other martial skills.”

“Although it certainly doesn’t compare to Intent, it counts as a certain increase.”

“If there is a chance, I can increase Soul-Breaking’s favorability.”

The Earth-grade high-level palm technique that Soul-Breaking used wasn’t weak; it was just that he was too strong, completely crushing him.

Causing Soul-Breaking to have no time to display the many exquisite aspects of this palm technique.

Or he could go to the Hidden Martial Pavilion to learn it; anyway, there were plenty of Earth-grade mastery cards left.

Currently, he mainly practiced sword dao, mainly because of the existence of Sword Intent, not because Meng Zhangqing wasn’t interested in other schools.

Shaking his head slightly.

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his thoughts.

Soul-Breaking was just a small interlude that appeared suddenly.

What he was truly interested in were the Shi brothers.

After all, that was a one-in-a-million top-tier body-refining bloodline.

With the improvement of his cultivation, his defense had been left behind.

The *Copper Armor Technique* was ultimately just an Earth-grade high-level technique.

Even with the talent 【Thick-Skinned】, it could only be comparable to Earth-grade low-level.

It could still be used in the Opening Aperture Realm.

But in the Sea Opening Realm, it definitely wouldn’t work.

So Meng Zhangqing wouldn’t clash head-on with those third-level demonic beasts now.

Every time, he killed them from a distance!

If he encountered those that were extremely fast and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, it was truly very dangerous.

“Don’t know where the Shi brothers are.”

Meng Zhangqing thought while walking inside.

The fourth deep red opportunity was behind this huge waterfall.

Behind the waterfall was a very spacious mountain belly space.

About several hundred meters high.

All kinds of strange giant rocks stood.

And in the center, a slender demonic beast was crawling, with wings actually growing on its back.

The moment Meng Zhangqing appeared.

The demonic beast suddenly opened its blood-red eyes.
