Chapter 9: Qi Refining



They had no way to save people and could only keep shooting and retreating as they went.

Lu Chengchuan led the way, firing his rifle in a matter of minutes, killing dozens of monsters. Unfortunately, his ammunition ran out quickly, and with no more bullets, he dropped his rifle, pulled out his pistol and longsword, and continued to clear the way.

With a swing of the sword, monsters died one by one in his hands, and the team slowly approached the aperture.

The aperture is right in front of us, and there are more and more monsters around.

The monster didn't want to let them go, and blocked their way in front. The last part of the journey only took one minute, but it was extremely difficult.

The suicide squad soldiers died one after another in the hands of the monsters, and Lu Chengchuan killed them step by step to the aperture.

"Go! Go!"

He stood his ground to resist the oncoming monsters, whose sharp teeth and claws hit him, tearing his clothes and leaving wounds on his body.

His body is invulnerable to swords and guns, but when the number of monsters increases, some of them can hurt him.

If he hadn't wanted to help the people behind him, he would have run away.

"ah!!"

Just as the team was approaching the aperture, Huang Xuan from the Investigation Bureau was severely exhausted. Seeing that he was about to reach the aperture, he relaxed a little, but suddenly he was tripped by something and fell to the ground.

His teammates had not expected this situation, and neither had Huang Xuan himself. In just a moment, several monsters pounced on him. Before he could say anything, he was dragged away by the monsters and disappeared among them.

"Huang Xuan!"

Several teammates watched him being dragged away, shouting hysterically.

"Go! Don't stop!"

Zhou Yaning didn't have time to think too much. Even if her teammates were captured, she would still call for a retreat. Lu Chengchuan couldn't hold out for much longer, and if they hesitated any longer, few people would be able to escape.

At her urging, everyone ran into the light circle.

Zhou Yaning ran over and passed by Lu Chengchuan: "Hurry up!"

Before she finished speaking, she entered the light circle. Lu Chengchuan killed the zombie that rushed towards him with a sword, turned around and jumped into the light circle.

The moment he jumped into the light circle, his eyes fell into darkness again. Then a light came, and he had jumped out of the black fog and was standing in the mall again.

Eighteen people went in, but only eight came out. The suicide squad suffered heavy losses, and even the investigation bureau lost one person.

Lu Chengchuan's clothes turned into tattered strips and his body was covered with wounds. He turned around to make sure that no monsters were chasing him before he stopped to catch his breath.

"Captain, Huang Xuan..."

Several people from the Investigation Bureau were sitting on the ground. Their teammates were killed by monsters and they were not in a good mood.

"Stop talking and get out now."

Zhou Yaning didn't want to say more about this. The situation was urgent and she didn't have time to think too much. After she was safe, Huang Xuan's screams rang in her mind and she felt uncomfortable.

But what if it's uncomfortable? Entering the black fog is a risky act and anyone can die in it.

"Are you okay?"

When leading people out, Zhou Yaning looked back and saw Lu Chengchuan covered in wounds. He looked very bad.

"It's nothing serious, just take a day off."

Lu Chengchuan shook his head. It was just a flesh wound, nothing serious, and he hadn't lost much blood. Compared to this, he had killed dozens of monsters, and his remaining lifespan was now: 1 year and 281 days.

After more than a year of life, the system prompted him to upgrade his martial arts level.

Although this trip was very dangerous, the rewards were also great. Each time he went in, he gained more than a year of life. If it weren't for the monsters that kept pouring in, he really wanted to stay in there.

As soon as they came out, the soldiers waiting outside quickly surrounded them.

The soldiers saw the miserable state of the crowd, and the leader who was waiting for news rushed in: "What happened to you? It's only been a minute since you went in, how come only these few people are coming out?!"

The leader asked a series of questions. Zhou Yaning was surprised to hear that they had only been in for a minute.

"One minute..."

I picked up the clock and saw that the hands had moved for at least twelve minutes, but only one minute had passed outside.

"The black fog was very large, with no end in sight... We walked inside for ten minutes, and suddenly a monster appeared, so we had no choice but to run out." Zhou Yaning told everyone what happened inside.

In addition to the provincial and municipal leaders, there are also some experts and scholars. When they learned about the black fog, they immediately wrote it down and then asked Zhou Yaning if he had any special discoveries.

Zhou Yaning shook her head. They walked slowly and didn't walk for long, so they didn't find anything special.

Lu Chengchuan didn't say anything beside him. He did feel some strange calls, but he didn't want to say it.

After leaving the mall, they returned to the makeshift outpost. A doctor came to treat their wounds. Lu Chengchuan's wounds had already healed. He just changed into clean clothes and nothing else needed to be checked.

The first attempt failed. Zhou Yaning and her team bandaged their wounds and found their leader to continue selecting soldiers. This time, they wanted more people to go in. She didn't believe that the monsters inside were endless.

They were talking there, and Lu Chengchuan focused on the system.

Now he can spend a year of his life to improve a martial art to perfection. He may have to go in again next time, so improving his combat effectiveness is very important to him.

As long as he kills enough monsters, he can make up for the lifespan he has lost.

Thinking about it, Lu Chengchuan set his sights on Eagle Claw Iron Body Kung Fu.

Improving the Changchun function increases lifespan, and the Eagle Claw Iron Body function greatly improves combat effectiveness. Lu Chengchuan thought about it and suddenly a guess came to his mind.

He shifted his focus to Changchun Gong, silently praying to himself to improve.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the life span was instantly reduced by one year, Changchun Gong started to work automatically, and heat gushed out from the lower dantian.

The hot air circulated through his body nine times, and then a wisp of substantial "qi" emerged from his lower dantian. The hot air then returned to his lower dantian, nourishing the qi and beginning to grow stronger.

A few minutes later, Lu Chengchuan opened his eyes, and a gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes.

"call..."

He let out a long breath, and the Changchun Gong was complete. His body felt unprecedented comfort.

......

Krypton Life System

Host: Lu Chengchuan

Realm: Qi Refining

Martial Arts: Changchun Gong [Yellow Rank/3rd Level], Eagle Claw Iron Body Gong [Yellow Rank/2nd Level] (Upgradable)

Current lifespan: 10 years and 147 days.

The host's body functions recovered, but the unknown disease was not cured.

......

After completing the Changchun Gong, his realm was elevated to Qi Refining, giving him a lifespan of over ten years. Not only could the Changchun Gong be completed, but now the Eagle Claw Iron Body Gong could also be elevated to perfection.

Just now he was wondering if the perfection of Changchun Gong could increase his lifespan. Now his bet was right. The perfection of Changchun Gong could allow him to break through the realm and add ten years to his lifespan.

Lu Chengchuan did not hesitate and directly spent a year of his life to improve his Eagle Claw Iron Body Skill.

The heat surged up again, and the Qi and heat in the lower Dantian circulated throughout the body. After a few minutes, the Qi and heat sank into the lower Dantian, and the Eagle Claw Iron Body Technique was also raised to perfection, and the Qi became even stronger.

After mastering both martial arts and reaching the Qi Refining realm, Lu Chengchuan was certain that he could now easily crush his previous self.

After improving his strength, Lu Chengchuan stood up and stretched his body.
