Chapter 35: Teasing Shangguan Qiusuo!

  Shangguan Qixue's movements were extremely fast, like a thunderbolt, but Tang Qing was even faster. As the two fingers closed in, he instantly appeared under her chin and with a "pa" sound, blocked Shangguan Qixue's incoming knife hand.

  "You really know martial arts!"

  Shangguan Qixue's expression changed slightly, her pupils shrinking as she understood the situation through Biyi. She knew that Tang Jing had defeated his opponent with a single move, each strike fatal and leaving no room for breath. In her heart, she was clear that only someone with rich combat experience could achieve this level of skill. She had some doubts, so she decided to test him by launching a sneak attack when Tang Jing was off guard, but unexpectedly, the guy blocked it!

  "Have I ever said that I don't know martial arts?"

  Tang Qing slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly, narrowing his eyes as he brazenly and aggressively sized her up.

  "Your physical body has never been tempered, how can you possess such great strength." This was the most incomprehensible thing to Shangguan Qiyue, her own move, although it only used the strength of her physical body, was enough to have two thousand catties, and its speed was unmatched, yet this guy had caught it with such ease, and what made her even more unbelievable was that when she struck, he seemed to know it beforehand, how could this guy's senses be so acute.

  Tang Qing smiled and looked at her, saying, "Who told you that only a refined body can have strength? I was born with infinite power, isn't that enough?"

  "Born with infinite strength? Why don't I believe it?" Shangguan Qixue and Tang Qing stared at each other, looking into his turbid yet calm eyes. Suddenly, she felt that the person in front of her was very strange, so strange that it made her feel a bit mysterious and unbelievable. She immediately withdrew her hand, but then suddenly attacked Tang Qing again like a storm.

  The world is vast, and all those who cultivate will experience a transformation after building their foundation, shedding their old skin and entering the realm of energy. Once they have undergone this transformation, their physical body has already taken shape, and upon entering the realm of energy, no matter how profound one's internal power may be, the strength of the physical body will not change. Even if one breaks through the realm of energy and enters a higher realm, the strength of the physical body remains the same.

  Shangguan Qixue's cultivation was profound, but at this moment she was only using her physical strength to fight against Tang Qing. Although it could be said that she had been cultivating for many years, and as her realm grew higher, her perception, sensitivity, and field of vision would all be enhanced. Therefore, even though she was only using her physical strength to fight, it was still extremely formidable.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Two people exchanged several moves in the span of a breath, Shangguan Qishuang's movements were agile and nimble, her techniques clever and beautiful. Tang Qing's techniques, on the other hand, were big and bold, looking even somewhat clumsy. However, it was precisely these clumsy techniques that made Shangguan Qishuang unable to gain the upper hand, the more she fought, the more frightened and bewildered she became, the more entangled. No matter how fast her own speed was, this guy seemed to know in advance how she would make her moves, always able to block her techniques.

  This feeling... made Shangguan Feixue feel a deep sense of powerlessness, even with a thousand ways to exert her strength, she couldn't seem to muster any. She thought herself to be quite worldly and knowledgeable, if only Tang Ye had used some mysterious and subtle moves, that would have been fine. But this guy's moves were just long fists and whip kicks, nothing else. Is this really a martial art? This is basically just a village bumpkin's moves!

  What made her even more unbearable was that this guy had a completely careless attitude when he struck, with a lazy and sloppy demeanor, as if he was just casually dealing with it. Having lived so long, Shangguan Qiyue was indeed the proud daughter of heaven, let alone during a fight, even in ordinary times, no one dared to be casual with her.

  "What an arrogant little brat!"

  Tang Jing's carefree attitude finally made Shangguan Qiyue unable to bear it, she let out a cry, her toes pointed to the ground as she sprang up, her body continuously flipping in mid-air, rapidly rotating around Tang Jing, swinging her arms, with palm movements that were both fierce and mysterious!

  Tang Qing dodged to the side, using his arm to block two moves, then took a step to the left and suddenly leaned forward, swinging both arms like a fierce tiger embracing the moon, and wrapped them around Shangguan Xue's waist.

  "Since you say I'm being presumptuous, then today I'll be presumptuous and show you!"

  At this point, Tang Qing was filled with evil energy, his mouth curled up in a playful smile, laughing out loud, one hand pressed against the tender buttocks of Shangguan Qiu Xue, and the other hand pressed against her twin peaks. As he exerted force, Shangguan Qiu Xue let out a soft cry, and then her body began to spin in mid-air like a windmill, following Tang Qing's movements.

  "Shameless little brat!"

  Shangguan Qixue's anger suddenly surged, and a purple glow burst forth from her body. Tang Jing's eyes moved quickly, and he swiftly withdrew his hand just as the light flashed. He immediately retreated, and indeed, in an instant, a massive energy burst forth from Shangguan Qixue's body.

  Shangguan Qixue stood on the ground, but she was somewhat disheveled, her hair messy, her clothes disordered, and her charming face slightly flushed. Her watery eyes were full of anger, glaring at Tang Qing, and she shouted in a stern voice, "You little scoundrel! You dare to be rude to me! Today I won't let you off." After speaking, Shangguan Qixue raised her hand, and her five fingers changed, ready to cast a spell.

  "What's wrong? If you can't play, then don't play." Tang Jing seemed to be fearless and sat leisurely in his chair. The energy that Shangguan Xue exploded earlier was a kind of true yuan, which means that Shangguan Xue's cultivation had reached the Yuan realm. Facing such a high-level expert, Tang Jing naturally wouldn't take it seriously. However, with his weak physical body, he really shouldn't overexert himself. He picked up a plate of nuts from the table and put one in his mouth, looking at Shangguan Xue and smiling, "Can't win so you want to use a technique to control me?"

  "You!"

  Being said by Tang Qing, the competitive Shangguan Qiusuo immediately stopped her movement and said, "You arrogant and ignorant little brat! Do you really think I couldn't beat you with my strength? Hmph! Come on again!"

  "I'm tired, I'll take a rest first."

  Tang Qing waved his hand, apparently uninterested, and began eating nuts on his own.

  Although Shangguan Qixue didn't want to admit it, she couldn't help but suspect that relying solely on her physical strength might not be enough to win against this guy. Upon careful recollection of their earlier fight, she discovered that Tang Qing's seemingly clumsy movements were actually a result of his ability to anticipate his opponent's moves and counterattack, a skill that only a seasoned veteran with extremely rich combat experience could possess, allowing him to develop such terrifyingly sharp instincts.

  Look at this guy, he's only around twenty years old. Even if he started fighting with people from the womb, it's impossible for him to develop such sharp insight! She thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why, which made her even more puzzled. Until now, she still can't understand how Tang Jing, who hasn't tempered his physical body, possesses such terrifying strength.

  "Your physical body has not been tempered, how can you have such a great force?" Shangguan Qixue also sat back in her chair, her eyes fixed tightly on him. Seeing Tang Jing hesitate for a moment, she immediately said in a low voice, "If you don't want to be beaten, confess honestly to me, otherwise, you'll be sorry!"

  "Huh? Didn't I tell you that I was born with boundless strength?" Tang Qing said lazily while munching on nuts.

  It's not that there are no innate divine powers, Shangguan Qixue has also seen records in the classics that some people are born with great strength, but these people all have one thing in common: when they grow up, their limbs develop and they become extremely robust. Shangguan Qixue had once seen someone like this before. In contrast, Tang Jing looks weak and frail, not to mention robust, his physique is probably even inferior to that of an ordinary person.

  "Hmm, come to think of it, I wasn't born with superhuman strength. It should be something acquired later in life, right? Anyway, after eating a strange fruit, my strength increased dramatically. What was the name of that fruit again? Wasn't it called Tiger Might Fruit or something? I forgot the exact name."

  "Are you referring to Qihuatiger Fruit?" Upper Official Xue's eyes sparkled for a moment.

  "Oh right! It's probably called Qihuatiger Fruit." Tang Qing nodded very 'honestly'.

  "Ah, so you've taken the Qihua Tiger Pill! No wonder!" Shangguan Qixue was well-read and knowledgeable, and naturally understood the effects of the Qihua Tiger Pill. This fruit was extremely precious and was known as one of the sacred fruits. Because no matter how severe the internal injury, taking this fruit could improve it in a short period of time, whether it was tendons, dantian, or five organs. However, if an ordinary person took this fruit, they would be unable to withstand its medicinal effects, resulting in twisted tendons, blurred dantian, and ultimately making it impossible to cultivate in the future. Nevertheless, people who had taken this fruit would also undergo changes in their tendons, becoming incredibly powerful.
