Chapter 220: Eight Gates
The sudden appearance of the dragon surprised both man and beast.
Xiang Ning saw that the black dragon was biting and overpowering the Pale Moon. It didnt release the beast no matter how much it struggled. The air was filled with painful howls.
The gruesome sound of bones being broken resounded. With a loud crunch, the beasts neck was snapped and it was dead.
Fresh blood spewed forth as the black dragon entered the body of the dead Pale Moon. When it reemerged, it was holding a beast core in its jaws. Xiang Ning was dumbfounded at the scene unfolding in front of his eyes.
What the heck, theres a one in a thousand chance that a beast of this caliber would have a core, dont tell me its trying to!
Just as he was thinking about it, the black dragon swallowed the beast's core. The dragon was finally satisfied and returned into Devourer, its core changing color once again from red to yellow. What the heck? No wonder the weapon was this strong. Now I understand why Alia said that the user of the weapon would die if they were weak. This is more like a beast!
The devourer was now sharper and shinier, and gave off an intimidating feeling. Xiang Ning even contemplated returning it, since it was such a dangerous weapon. But then he thought that it would be a stupid idea. He had obtained the weapon after much difficulty, wouldnt it be ironic if he needed to return it?
The bioweapon had grown stronger by absorbing the core of the Pale Moon. To test its new strength, he brought it over to the body of the beast and slashed it.
Originally, the weapon was only capable of breaking skin, barely enough to affect the mobility of the beast. But with his upgraded Devourer, a single slash was enough to cleanly sever its flesh. Alia was right, it was indeed a weapon capable of growth.
Hmm, I remember the old bastard saying that I could increase my strength by eating its meat. Lets try that out.
He took out the cooking utensils from his Windbreaker, stored the valuable parts of the Pale Moon within his dimensional ring, and proceeded to grill its flesh.
Experience Points +100
Experience Points +120
Experience Points +111
With every bite, the experience points he obtained were very high. This was indeed extremely beneficial for him! He even felt like his muscles had grown stronger. Thus, he ate until he could no longer eat another bite and kept looking at the penis of the beast. He thought about it before throwing it into the dimensional ring.
Xiang Ning opened the interface to check his status.
Level: Tier three, eight-star martial artist (5032/20000)
Mental Power: Tier three, nine-star spiritual cultivator
Techniques: Advanced Breathing Technique, Telekinesis, Keen Observation, Taunt, Combat Instinct, Comprehension, Disguise
Martial Technique: Mountain-Splitting Slash, Triple Slash, Shadowmist Ghost Step, Charging Toss
Special Object: Sovereigns Throne
Items: Healing pills x66
Fury Points: 340,100
Looking at his stats on the interface, he couldnt help but smile. However, he felt that his martial techniques were a little lacking.
He needed more. Looking at his Fury Points, he knew that he needed more of them, as well. The more Fury Points he had, the higher his chances of survival in the wild. Still, this was the highest amount of Fury Points he had ever obtained. It should be enough to upgrade about two tier four martial techniques to peak mastery.
He was more or less relaxed. When they rescued Fang Hao, it shouldnt be too excessive to ask for some martial techniques, right?
As he was thinking that, he happily rode Windbreaker to catch up with the rest. Since he was in a good mood he opened up the raffle.
He used up 10,000 Fury Points in an instant.
Thirty-nine pills, thats a bit of a loss.
Thinking that his pocket was still deep, he used up another 10,000 Fury Points.
Thirty more healing pills? Oh, come on!
He was unsatisfied, but he felt that something good would soon come out. The raffle always gave him something good when he had used a lot of points.
Thus, another 10,000 Fury Points were used.
What the fuck! Whoevers in charge of the system should just die! Do you really think that Im that rich?! Do you think that Fury Points come easily?! What do you mean that I only got ten pills this time?! He was truly drowning in fury.
Checking back at his Fury Points, he saw that he had 310,100 left. Shitty raffle, just take my 100 points as a donation.
Just as he was about to exit the interface, a golden light shone from the raffle. Xiang Ning froze before he was all smiles again. Hohoho, I knew that the raffle needed a lot of points as a sacrifice so it could give me something good. Finally, I won something other than healing pills. I knew that it wouldnt betray me!
Congratulations! You have obtained a special technique: Eight Gates.
Special technique, and its even gold in color. Looks like it's a very overpowered skill. It should be as strong as Keen Observation.
But when Xiang Ning read the description of the technique, he jumped off Windbreaker and laughed like a maniac.
The Eight Gates: Gate of Origin, Gate of Resting, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Resolution, Gate of Joy, Gate of Death, Gate of Shock
The Eight Gates shape heaven and earth, capable of reversing fate
Increases users strength by one fold for every opened gate
Side effect: The more gates opened, the stronger the backlash
A simple description, but Xiang Ning had already judged it as strong as Keen Observation even though the side effects were strong. Based on the description, if he opened four gates, he would more or less suffer heavy injuries after the fight. Opening all eight gates would most likely kill him.
But he couldnt care less. Against an overwhelming opponent with little to no chance of survival, it would be better to take it down with him.
He got back on his Windbreaker and squeezed the throttle forward. A blue plume of smoke emanated from the exhaust as he shot forward like a bullet.
......
Around two hundred kilometers down the road, Li Yunfei ordered everyone to stop for the day and set up the camp. They were already close to their destination, and needed to rest and prepare for the encounter they would have the next day.
As he checked the time, he used his binoculars and observed a ruined city below the mountain.
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
Waiting for MC to win Rasengan.
He be like Guy Sensei rn.
On a side note, the Eight Gates are actually not fictional and part of an ancient Chinese divination technique. This is why it appeared in so many media, especially Chinese novels.
