Free Web NovelChapter 75: Chapter 75: Merging Cultivation Techniques! Gang Energy at Last
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the blood-soaked Zhao Mei finally buckled under Chen Xuan’s pressure. Her face was bitter, the faint smile from before completely gone. Her beautiful features were now streaked with humiliation and tears as she struggled to her feet and knelt before Chen Xuan.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have provoked Cao Yunlong!"
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have provoked Cao Yunlong!"
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have provoked Cao Yunlong..."
Her choked, sorrowful cries rang out again and again. This was no longer a pitiable act, but a cry of fear and regret from the depths of her soul.
She was like a bird stripped of all its proud feathers, forced to let out mournful chirps under the hunter’s gaze, begging for the slimmest chance of survival.
[You made a scheming bitch voluntarily admit her mistake. Unrivaled satisfaction. Retribution points +5000!]
Another line of text appeared.
’Excellent!’
Chen Xuan was exceptionally pleased.
’So many rewards from just one trip.’
’Just as I thought!’
’The deeper the humiliation and the more their defenses crumble...’
’...the greater the satisfaction it brings!’
’This trip was definitely worth it.’
"Since Celestial Wolf Valley is now without a leader, I, Chen Xuan, will volunteer to serve as the temporary leader and take charge of all matters. What does everyone think?"
Chen Xuan suddenly spoke, his tone mild as he glanced over the crowd.
Everyone shivered and nodded desperately.
Xu Tong and Zhao Mei had both ended up like this. How could they possibly dare to refuse?
’This guy is a monster!’
’He treats men and women the same!’
’Even someone as beautiful as Zhao Mei had her bones and sinews shattered by him, leaving her on the brink of death...’
’Is his heart forged from iron and stone?’
Behind him, Shen Yunfei and the others were utterly dumbfounded.
’So this is what a genius is?’
’Before him, a so-called genius is only worthy of kneeling and screaming apologies...’
"If there are no objections, I expect to hear you all sincerely address me as ’Leader’!"
Chen Xuan said again.
"Leader!"
"Greetings, Leader!"
The crowd hurriedly replied.
"Very good!"
Chen Xuan was exceptionally pleased. He looked down at Zhao Mei at his feet and said, "Are you willing?"
Zhao Mei’s eyes filled with terror. She quickly said, "I’m willing, I’m willing, I am, WAHHH..."
"Then you are all free to move about and await the final assault. As for these two wastes of space, two of you, throw them down the mountain. Don’t let them be an eyesore here."
Chen Xuan said.
"Yes, Leader!"
Immediately, a few disciples from Iron Stone Castle and the Fulong Gang rushed out, lifted the heavily injured Xu Tong and Zhao Mei, and headed down the mountain.
Humiliation filled their hearts and hot tears welled in their eyes. The moment they were lifted, they both chose to conveniently faint.
Chen Xuan paid them no more mind and turned to look at the numerous tents.
He eventually chose the most spacious tent and strode inside.
As soon as he entered the tent, he sat cross-legged on a beast-hide rug and took out a small pill bottle.
He opened it to find the last two Qi and Blood Pills.
Then, he looked at his panel.
Retribution points: 29,800.
"Just one trip out, and I’ve earned over twenty thousand points. Excellent, excellent, I’ve struck it rich."
Chen Xuan’s eyes glinted as he said, "With my current retribution points, plus these two Qi and Blood Pills, it should be enough."

’Whether I can fuse a Gang Energy Cultivation Technique all comes down to this moment.’
Without hesitation, he poured the last two Qi and Blood Pills from the bottle into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed them in one gulp. He then recited silently in his mind.
’Retribution points, fuse all my martial arts and create a Cultivation Technique for the Gang Energy Realm!’
[DING! You have consumed 5,000 retribution points and begun fusing your Cultivation Techniques. Detecting the potent medicinal properties of the Qi and Blood Pills in your body, you have successfully gained a 100x increase in comprehension speed. At this moment, you feel all the Cultivation Techniques within you transform into multicolored motes of light. These motes rush about inside you. You desperately want to merge them into one, to twist them into a single strand, but you discover that the motes seem to have their own consciousness. No matter how hard you try, they refuse to unite.]
[Without hesitation, you pour in another 8,000 retribution points. Your qi and blood boil, and under your powerful will, the motes of light are forcibly squeezed and drawn together!]
[But the conflict intensifies. The supreme Yang and hardness of the Fiery Sun Vajra Skill, the fierce explosiveness of the Hundred-Splitting Slash and Hang Fist, the extreme penetration speed of the Lightning-Flash Shadow-Evasion... The completely different true intents of these Martial Daos clash wildly within you, like several flood dragons fighting for dominance. A tearing pain shoots through your meridians. Your skin’s surface sometimes glows crimson like fire, sometimes flashes with lightning, and sometimes bulges with knotted muscles...]
[Your fusion has reached a critical moment. You may succeed in the next instant, or you may fail!]
[To prevent failure, you unhesitatingly pour in all of your remaining retribution points!]
[In an instant, a drastic change occurs within you. The struggle between the Cultivation Techniques is forcibly integrated and unified by your supreme will, finally becoming one. Empowered by your Indestructible Fist Intent, an aura of fiery Gang-Yang that crushes all opposition radiates from your body.]
[Congratulations, Host! The Cultivation Technique fusion is a success. You have successfully reached the Gang Energy First Layer!]
[Obtained Cultivation Technique, an Absolute Top Grade Martial Art: Thunder-Fire Vajra Skill!]
BOOM!
A low, deafening roar exploded in the depths of his soul.
All the chaos and stalemate ended as a brand new, perfectly integrated power surged forth from within him.
This power was supremely hard and Yang, heavy and majestic, yet as swift as lightning.
It not only retained the profound mysteries of Lightning-Flash Shadow-Evasion.
It also kept the profound mysteries of the Fiery Fire Vajra Skill, Hundred-Splitting Slash and Hang Fist, and other such Cultivation Techniques.
It was truly an Absolute Top Grade Cultivation Technique tailor-made for him.
BANG!
Chen Xuan clenched his fist, and a powerful force erupted. It felt as if he were grasping lightning in his palm.
’So this is Gang Energy...’
His eyes glinted as he carefully sensed it.
Gang Energy was the practice of refining force into ’Gang’. This ’Gang’ was not only indestructible but could also be both hard and soft.
Most importantly, it could form a layer of Protective Gang Qi that enveloped the body like an invisible wall, making one impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire.
This was the last of the four major physical barriers.
After passing this stage, one could attempt to temper their Gang Qi bit by bit, forging a wisp of Innate True Qi to envelop the body.
As the saying goes: As long as one’s True Qi remains, one’s life is eternal.
While this was an exaggeration, it still showed how profound True Qi was.
However, the True Qi Realm, while simple to describe, had trapped countless people.
At the very least, in the entire Twelve Alliances, no one besides the Alliance Leader had managed to reach the True Qi Realm.
Chen Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of hot air.
This hot breath was like an invisible blade. He spat it out three or four meters, cutting a series of marks into the ground as if they had been slashed by a knife.
"Gathering force to form Gang!"
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xuan’s face. ƒreewebɳovel.com
’Truly powerful!’
’With my current strength, combined with my three talents, I wonder where I rank within the gang now?’

...
Chen Xuan stretched his body and finally walked out of the tent.
He felt as if he were a completely different person.
His sight and hearing had become clearer than ever before.
When the bustling crowd saw him emerge from the tent, they immediately put on fawning smiles.
"How are things? Have the orders from the Wang family arrived yet?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"No, they said we have to wait for their final signal."
An expert from Iron Stone Castle, Zhang Fan, responded.
"Is that so?"
Chen Xuan raised his head and looked toward the mountain peak ahead.
Beyond the dark, oppressive mountain peak, an invisible layer of blood-evil aura swirled. It was thick and dense, like a layer of haze, and gave off an indescribably thrilling yet terrifying feeling from a distance.
"What kind of experts are among that group of heretics? Do you know?"
Chen Xuan asked.
