Chapter 13

Deep in the blue sea.

Ning Chuan’s massive body swam flexibly in the seawater, like the true king of these waters.

His powerful perception spread out, searching for suitable prey.

Soon, he locked onto a large sea fish nearly six meters long, covered in cyan scales.

The aura emitted by this sea fish was more powerful than any he had hunted before.

If it were before, Ning Chuan would have had to spend some effort to take it down.

But now, he possessed internal energy!

"Let me use you to test my current strength!"

A hint of cold killing intent flashed in Ning Chuan’s eyes, and his massive body shot out like an arrow from a bow!

The cyan-scaled fish clearly sensed the danger and whipped its tail, trying to escape.

But Ning Chuan was faster!

"Death Coil!"

The pitch-black snake body instantly coiled around the cyan-scaled fish.

At the same time, the Black Water Profound Snake Art in Ning Chuan’s body operated quietly, and a trace of pure internal energy merged into his knotted muscles like a thin thread.

"Divine Dragon Tail Swing!"

"Boom!"

A muffled, loud noise spread through the seawater.

Ning Chuan’s snake tail, infused with internal energy, struck the head of the cyan-scaled fish fiercely!

Terrifying power exploded!

The cyan-scaled fish didn't even have time to scream; its huge head was like being hit by a battering ram, instantly caving in, blood gushing out, and it died on the spot!

Much easier than before!

Ning Chuan felt a surge of joy.

The support of internal energy had indeed increased his attack power by several levels!

He didn't hesitate, opened his blood-red mouth, activated the "Devour Enhancement" talent, and began to devour the dead big fish.

As the flesh and blood essence of the big fish poured into his body, Ning Chuan clearly felt that strands of pure energy were rapidly converting into strands of pure Black Water Profound Snake internal energy in his dantian!

The speed of this internal energy growth was simply terrifying!

Excitement!

Unparalleled excitement!

He seemed to see a broad road leading to the peak slowly unfolding before him!

A few hours later.

The six-meter-long big fish had been completely digested and absorbed by Ning Chuan.

He could feel that the internal energy in his body had soared more than ten times compared to before!

In his dantian, that pure internal energy had gathered into a small warm current, endless and inexhaustible.

"According to the realm division of human martial artists, I am now... roughly at the cultivation of the Seventh Grade of Postnatal, right?"

Ning Chuan felt the full internal energy in his body, full of surprise and satisfaction.

In just one hunt and devour, he had leaped from a novice who had just refined the first trace of internal energy to a Seventh Grade Postnatal expert!

If those martial artists in the Jianghu who had practiced for decades knew about this cultivation speed, their jaws would probably drop!

Feeling the Black Water Profound Snake internal energy in his dantian, which was several times thicker than before, Ning Chuan was filled with strong confidence.

Seventh Grade Postnatal!

And this was just his internal energy cultivation.

If one added his powerful snake body, which had been strengthened several times and was already far beyond beasts of the same rank, as well as attack methods containing martial arts principles like Death Coil and Divine Dragon Tail Swing...

Ning Chuan felt that if he were to face a human Postnatal martial artist now, even a First Grade Postnatal, known as the invincible of the Postnatal realm, he had the confidence to easily suppress them!

After all, his physical strength was already terrifying, and now combined with the explosive power of pure internal energy, the power increased geometrically.

The protective true qi of ordinary Postnatal martial artists would probably be as fragile as paper under the whip of his internal energy-infused snake tail.

Even facing a First Turn expert who had just entered the Innate realm, he might be able to exchange a few moves without being completely helpless!

One must know that the gap between Innate and Postnatal was a huge chasm; even if a dozen ordinary Postnatal martial artists joined forces, they might not be a match for an Innate expert, the key being the endless nature of Innate true qi and the preliminary sensing of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And he, just having started cultivating internal energy, already had such confidence!

How could Ning Chuan not be happy?

"Continue!"

Having tasted the sweetness, Ning Chuan had no intention of stopping at all.

He dived into the deep sea again, shuttling through the complex seabed like a ghost, searching for his next prey.

Soon, a large octopus with a huge body and waving tentacles entered his perception range.

This octopus was dark red all over, its torso alone the size of a water vat, and dozens of thick tentacles danced flexibly in the water like sea whips, each tentacle covered with suckers, exuding a dangerous aura.

The fierce aura it emitted was even stronger than that of the cyan-scaled fish earlier, clearly a creature not to be trifled with in this sea area.

If it were before, Ning Chuan would have had to be cautious when encountering such an opponent, using his flexibility to maneuver and look for an opportunity for a one-hit kill.

But now, he possessed internal energy!

"Very good, let you test my true strength now!"

A hint of cold killing intent flashed in Ning Chuan’s eyes, and his massive body accelerated in the seawater, bringing up turbulent undercurrents, like a black lightning, straight at the octopus!

The octopus clearly sensed Ning Chuan’s arrival, a hint of vigilance flashed in its huge compound eyes, and dozens of tentacles tightened instantly, like long whips ready to be unleashed, preparing to meet the invading enemy.

"Hiss!"

Ning Chuan let out a low hiss, the Black Water Profound Snake Art operated rapidly in his body, and the internal energy in his dantian surged out along specific meridians like a floodgate opening!

Facing the dense tentacles sweeping in like a net, Ning Chuan did not dodge or evade!

"Death Coil!"

His massive snake body twisted suddenly, like the most agile swimming dragon, narrowly avoiding most of the tentacles’ whipping and coiling. At the same time, his body covered in hard scales also withstood a few tentacle attacks, making "thump-thump" muffled sounds, but it only caused his body to pause slightly without causing substantial damage.

Immediately after, his snake body, which was far thicker and more powerful than the octopus’s tentacles, coiled around the relatively soft torso of the octopus at an extremely tricky angle!

Muscles tightened instantly!

The terrifying strangling power exploded!

The octopus felt pain and let out a silent wail, dozens of tentacles frantically whipping and coiling around Ning Chuan’s body, trying to tear him apart.

If it were the previous Ning Chuan, facing such a frantic counterattack, he would probably have had to spend some effort, and might even have been injured.

But now!

"Divine Dragon Tail Swing!"

Ning Chuan let out a hiss even louder than before, and his thick snake tail, infused with the pure internal energy of the Seventh Grade Postnatal, struck the octopus’s huge head like a giant battering ram, with a sharp whistle that tore through the air!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening loud noise exploded violently in the seawater, setting off huge waves!

The power of this strike was more than several times stronger than when he killed the cyan-scaled fish earlier!

The support of internal energy allowed the power of the Divine Dragon Tail Swing to be displayed to the fullest!

The octopus couldn't even make a decent struggle; its huge head was like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer, instantly bursting open, dark green juice mixed with minced meat permeating the seawater.

Dozens of tentacles also hung down powerlessly, completely losing their vitality.

One-hit kill!

And it was so clean and neat!

Ning Chuan felt the nearly half-depleted true qi within his body and the slight recoil force coming from the snake tail, yet his heart was filled with unbridled joy.

Much easier than before!

This was the power of internal energy!

This was the mystery of martial arts!

He didn't hesitate, opened his blood-red mouth, activated the "Devour Enhancement" talent, and began to devour the dead octopus.

As the flesh and blood essence of the octopus poured into his body, Ning Chuan clearly felt that strands of pure energy were rapidly converting into strands of pure Black Water Profound Snake internal energy in his dantian!

The speed of this internal energy growth was simply terrifying!
