Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Woo woo~~ 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

At the moment when Chen Ku’s great hand covered the sky, aiming to smack down on the Heavenly Spirit atop Tang Qujiang’s head, who had initiated the challenge against him.

Unexpectedly, an arrow from the Eleventh Realm pierced the air.

What’s more surprising is that Tang Qujiang, who was about to be killed with one slap, actually prioritized reminding Chen Ku, disregarding his own life at that instant.

This caused Chen Ku, in that split second, to involuntarily feel a slight admiration for Tang Qujiang, thinking of him as a gentleman.

But in a fraction of a second, there wasn’t much time for him to turn too many thoughts. Although the arrow from the Eleventh Realm couldn’t kill him, it shouldn’t hit him either, adding unnecessary damage.

With a step forward, the Yin Yang Power within him instantly activated, transforming into a Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram that spun outwards, showcasing the stance of the "Taiyin Heavenly Thunder Formation".

Because Chen Ku had already captured the Extreme Yin Power contained within this arrow.

Yet.

Just as Chen Ku prepared to withstand this arrow with the Taiyin Heavenly Thunder Formation, intending to rebound it.

Woo la~~

A terrifying momentum suddenly came from the distant mountain forest across the river, as Blood Qi surged like mountains and seas.

Instantly, the air within dozens of Li between the long sky was compressed into liquid by a terrifying force, endlessly enveloping the sky behind Chen Ku, turning it into a foggy realm!

That arrow originally aimed at Chen Ku’s hindbrain entered the fog, and in a split second, it vanished as if a bull entered the ocean.

"That is..."

Murong Cheng, responsible for escorting Chen Ku back to the Destruction Tower, had his face change dramatically at the moment of Chen Ku’s covert attack. Chen Ku, potentially the most talented disciple Destruction Tower had ever recruited, if assassinated secretly near the mountain gate less than ten thousand Li away, it would be an utter disgrace.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he saw the hand from the deep mountains suppressing the pervasive air mist into liquid instantly, and he exclaimed with delight:

"Fei Jiang is here!"

Accompanied by Murong Cheng’s delighted exclamation.

The covert archer dressed in animal skins, with Spiritual Energy surging around him like a great lake, also had his eyes flicker; being able to shoot an arrow of the Eleventh Realm, such a level of archer had superior Eye Power, needless to say, immediately saw a figure appearing in the fog behind Chen Ku intercepting his arrow.

Cui Feijiang, with a burly figure resembling a walking volcano. Standing nine feet tall, his muscles knotted like ridges of solidified lava, his skin glowing with a bronze hue as if forged for a millennium by the Earth’s core fire. Every step leaves charred footprints, vaping white smoke with a sulfur scent. In his hand, he holds an arrow.

He then meets the gaze of the archer wrapped in animal hide dozens of Li away, and softly spoke:

"Taiyin Soul Capturing Arrow, the Martial Arts Divine Ability cultivated by condensing Taiyin Moonlight, freezes and kills the three souls of the target; this is the ’Martial Arts’ from the Taihua Sect in West Shu, but your arrow inhabits substantial mana of Qi Refiners, so... you are not of the Martial Path, but actually a Qi Refiner!"

Cui Feijiang coldly spoke:

"Evidently, the talent of our Junior Brother Chen from the Newly Ascended Tower is indeed as monstrous as rumored, even making your foreign Qi Refiners come to assassinate him."

As his words spread.

Woo~~

The water mist between Heaven and Earth suddenly vanished, allowing Chen Ku to turn around and gaze at this figure who blocked the Eleventh Realm arrow for him.

Newly Ascended Tower? Junior Brother Chen?

From the man’s words, Chen Ku had already discerned his identity.

A glance toward Tang Qujiang under his palm, recalling the other’s initiative in speaking earlier, he suddenly flipped that palm back into his sleeve, then turned sideways to look at the blue-clad middle-aged man’s back, softly inquiring:

"May I ask, which Senior Brother from the Destruction Tower are you?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man gently smiled, turned his face to Chen Ku, and said:

"Surname Cui, named Feijiang, fourth in the Destruction Tower."

Cui Feijiang!

In the distance, Murong Cheng watched the arrival, his eyes filled with joy and reassurance.

Meanwhile.

In the circles of martial artists around Famen County, everyone recognized Cui Feijiang.

"It’s actually the fourth true inheritor seed of Destruction Tower, known as the ’Sea Suppressing Lord’, a Martial Practitioner of the Twelfth Realm!"

"Destruction Tower sent their fourth true inheritor to assist Chen Ku, the soon-to-be seventh true inheritor."

Cui Feijiang, as the fourth true inheritor seed of Destruction Tower, is over fifty years old now, hence not on the Heroic List.

But anyone aware of this person would never underestimate him.

It’s said that after joining Destruction Tower, he practiced the Martial Arts Scripture called "Boiling Sea Scripture," self-created from merging the true inheritance of Destruction Tower with its forbidden techniques, under the guidance of predecessors and elders throughout generations.

This skill cultivates one into a human furnace, with boiling blood as fuel, enhancing combat power by burning blood; the more boiling the blood, the higher the attack range and temperature, while also drawing vitality from the Water Spirit Qi between Heaven and Earth.

The eight strikes of the Boiling Sea encompass supreme divine skills within close contact, forbidden domain, and secret techniques, each move possessing earth-shattering power.

At this moment, Tang Qujiang, spared by Chen Ku’s palm, also gazed at the burly man appearing near Chen Ku, observing the volcanic vapor surrounding him transmitting a Qi mechanism that forbids all spells and Spiritual Energy.
