Chapter 9 Awaken Silver swordfish

Ru Chan calmed his mind and reached for the next point on the left side of her ribs. He gently placed his finger on that area and exerted a little pressure as well as a releasing a minuscule amount of spiritual energy to open the acupuncture point.

This was a technique that Ren Lao had developed to help in opening up the acupuncture points of the human body, as well as help to increase the absorption of Essence Qi slightly.

Since it was what he needed presently and the situation was slightly urgent, he didn't think much and skipped the other details.

However, he didn't know that while this technique could accomplish the above features, it was also an extremely sensitive stimulation technique.

Oblivious, Ru Chan felt the skin texture of the girl in front of him that seemed like it was undergoing a transformation. He didn't notice that anytime he touched a certain spot in her body when opening up the points, Tang Ning's face would turn redder than a drunkard full of alcohol.

Her legs that were in a lotus position started feeling uncomfortable as an itchy feeling started spreading in her lower legs. Something any girl of her age would feel. Her skin flared up as her body became red and heated.

She could feel the warmth of his fingers, which gave her a weird and tingling sensation. This was the first time in her life that she had been so intimate with a male.

Thankfully, Ru Chan stopped as he finished up with the last one. Perhaps because she was going through the transformation, Ru Chan attributed her reddish skin to the effects of the pill.

Under his attentive gaze, Tang Ning suddenly had her body quiver as countless impurities were expelled from her body. Just like Ru Chan earlier, she looked like a large piece of black mud and the place instead smelt awful.

Tang Ning's body suddenly relaxed as the transformation was over. She felt her body strength had increased drastically from before.

At that moment, the comfort that had vanished earlier returned as a wave of warm brilliance spread through her body. At that moment, Tang Ning could feel her cultivation base rise significantly.

As she sat there, the aura surrounding her body suddenly changed. Under Ru Chan's astonished eyes, a silver light appeared behind Tang Ning as an illusory silhouette appeared, floating slightly in the air.

It was the silhouette of a medium-sized fish that looked to be in its infancy method. However, on its nose, was not a nose but rather, a long needle looking thing that looked like a weapon.

This was undoubtedly the Silver swordfish and the needle on its nose was no doubt what made it a silver swordfish.

Never would Ru Chan have imagined that the grade 5 pills would have such miraculous effects. It was even able to awaken her martial spirit.

Under his gaze, the silver swordfish strutted around in the air with some arrogance in its bearing, as if announcing that it was the king of sea beasts.

Tang Ning who was sitting had her aura change as if she had become a sharp sword. Her eyes lit up with profound understanding as a flash of memories appeared in her mind.

The Swordfish Strike technique that was an innate skill had been unlocked. Earlier, Ru Chan had nearly been frightened to death when he saw the requirements needed to awaken her martial spirit. Who would have thought that it would actually be resolved so easily.

"This!" Ru Chan inhaled sharply. What was with the surprises today? Just by accomplishing a random task, the system had rewarded him with a rare appraisal skill. Looks like this system really was made to help his poor, pitiful life.

Ru Chan laughed inwardly. He couldn't contain his curiosity anymore. He had specially seen the usage of the skill as an instinctive activation had enabled him to see all Tang Nings attributes. Excitement couldn't help but take over him.

Indeed, helping people like a saint was the right way to go

Good! Good! Since helping people would get him such good rewards, why not help some more. Yes! Yes! Of course.

There wasn't much change in her tabs. The only change being two different variables.

The first was that the unawakened state right beside the martial spirit had disappeared. Meanwhile, all the skills that were previously gray and indicated their dormant state were now either active or passive skills that Tang Ning presently possessed.

Her martial spirit was finally awakened. This didn't cause any particular ripples, as he had already expected it. The other thing that changed, however, was what he wasn't expecting at all.

"Innate green core!" Ru Chan was astounded. Earlier, he was already happy about receiving green core with a 39% talent intensity. However, Tang Ning's talent had surpassed his by a large margin. She had directly stepped into green core and was at a higher level than him. Her cultivation speed would be faster than the current Ru Chan.

Green core!

Talent cores were divided into many colors.

Red for the lowest, followed by Orange, yellow, green, and blue which was currently the highest core level Ru Chan had seen. The speed of heaven and earth energy absorption by a (1) Orange core was almost double that of a (99) red core, and the speed of a (1) orange core was likewise the same. However, the difference between green cores and the yellow cores that followed orange were like vast rivers.

It was at least 2.5 times what a (99) yellow core could achieve. If that was the same for yellow and green cores, imagine how powerful blue cores were. Three times faster than a (99) green core!

Ru Chan couldn't help but be surprised. But he wasn't envious. If he could increase his talent to Green core, then he could most certainly increase it to blue or purple above it. Even the famed Indigo colored core was not impossible. However, finding an indigo colored core in a small Raincore continent was impossible.

In fact, High-quality blue colored cores or low level Purple cores were most probably the best they had. With her talent, it was more than enough for her to join the most powerful sect on the continent and still become the disciple of the sect master or grand elder.

Not to mention that the rare 15% chance was triggered. Not only did she get a Rank 1 physique, but her talent also increased.

Perhaps due to the awakening of her Martial spirit as well as the effects of the Grade 5 pill.

Ru Chan nodded.

Meanwhile, the illusory martial swordfish silhouette dissipated and the silver light receded. All that was left was Ru Chan staring intently at a figure covered in blob and gunk in an awfully smelly room.

Tang Ning breathed out a sigh of relief as her eyes glowed excitedly. She was very clear on the changes that had taken place within her body as wanted to yell to release her happiness. However, when she saw her appearance with the putrid odor her body emitted.

Her words were stuck in her throat and waves of embarrassment flooded her being. Her dark red cheeks were visible even within the impurities, as she didn't dare to meet his gaze head on. Ru Chan laughed loudly as he saw her behavior.

Every girl loved to keep a clean appearance, so which one of them wouldn't be embarrassed in such a situation?

Ru Chan didn't say anything else and simply smiled.

"Congratulations on breaking through. With your current talent and the effects of the medicinal pill, you should be good to go before the entrance tests in 3 days. Go clean yourself up, I'll be leaving now!"

Ru Chan announced as he turned around, leaving Tang Ning still seated on the floor with an ever so resplendent smile that seemed to light up the room. He didn't dally any further and left the room, leaving Tang Ning sitting there with a sense of loss.

Unconsciously, her fingers moved up and down her body, accurately landing on the placed Ru Chan touched to help her open her acupuncture points. Occasionally, his hands slightly brushed against her Twin Peaks which gave her some sort of blissful experience, leaving her face blushing.

"Thank you!" She whispered in a low voice that Ru Chan wouldn't be able to hear, she couldn't understand the weird feelings going on within her, but she had no time to deal with that now. Standing up from the ground, she got up and headed straight for the shower.

Meanwhile, Ru Chan got back to his room and landed on his bed with a sigh. Inwardly, he began to ponder his next course of action.

The events of today alone were more than his brain could process. He had repaid his debt to Tang Ning, but now, he didn't know what else to do.

He was no longer weak and defenceless, he no longer had to rely on someone else. His OP ability was terrifying, but at this point, he was kind of lost.

He had been feeling this way ever since he woke up in this world without his memories. Thinking up to this point, Ru Chan's heart felt some pain as if he had remembered something sad. However, the clarity in his eyes didn't show much, as he couldn't remember.

"What should I do now? Well, the only thing I want to do, is to remember! Remember what happened to me and who I am!" However, some things were easier said than done.

Where should he start? He had already asked Tang Ning, and she couldn't give him any valuable clues. When she found him, he was ragged and covered in blood.

He could try to join a sect and work things out from there, but then again, why should he?

He, with the memories of an Affinity Martial lord, was basically Ren Lao's successor, although that title was somewhat self granted. With the system, Ren Lao's memories and his powerful skill, what could a sect possibly have to offer him?

Connections? If he was strong enough, he could form all the connections he wanted.

Information? The same applied to the first.

Use the sects network to find out who he is? Nah!

What was the point when he could accomplish all those things himself? If he joined one, he would probably start off as a disciple and face all sorts of plans, schemes, and others of the sort. He would have to feel entitled or grateful for being raised by an organization when he basically raised himself.

What a joke.

Gradually, Ru Chan's gaze turned determined. Join a sect? Not in a million years. Well, maybe as a grand elder or temporary sect master, but definitely not as a disciple.

Earlier, he had felt hopeless and powerless and afraid. Ru Chan swore to himself never to allow himself to feel that way again. And to accomplish that, he had to get stronger.

Far stronger than any expert on raincore continent. Ru Chan was going to go towards the Dao Martial Lands and beyond.

Ru Chan nodded his head and sat down to consolidate his cultivation base. First thing first, he needed to be at his top condition and the effects of the medicinal pill were far from being exhausted.

Since he had such a gift, might as well utilize it to the extreme

"Time for me to go into seclusion for a day or two". He quickly sat cross-legged and entered a cultivation state.

With the effects of the medicinal pill, Ru Chan, who was originally happy to be at the 4th Phase Dantian Establishment had already set his sights higher.

"Let's break through to Qi apprentice realm".
