A surge of internal energy, carrying some medicinal powder, entered the room where Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were located through the crack in the window.
After a few breaths, the two women's breathing became long and even.
Only then did Chu Qinghe close the window and turn his gaze to Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, whose faces were filled with astonishment.
With a quick glance, Chu Qinghe let out a smug snort.
Do they really think they have too little poison or that their poisoning skills are inadequate?
If we don't do something, we really won't know who's the head of the household.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, several bursts of internal energy erupted from Chu Qinghe's body, extinguishing the candlelight in the lantern in the room.
Let's start the new year by defining our place in the family.
......
The next day.
End of Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
The sun was high in the sky, already covering the entire courtyard, when Chu Qinghe's door slowly opened.
Subsequently, in the eyes of Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan in the courtyard, Chu Qinghe was not walking lazily as usual, but rather his pace was slower than before.
If Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan, who were in the kitchen at that moment, were in the yard, they could even see that Chu Qinghe raised his hand to hold the door open before leaving.
After washing up and sitting down in the courtyard, Chu Qinghe leaned almost entirely against the table.
At the same time, his hands continued to rub and massage his legs.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe inexplicably felt that his martial arts and personal cultivation were somewhat useless.
So what if I'm only at the early stage of the first-rate realm? So what if my strength is comparable to that of a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm?
After a whole night, didn't he still have to lean on the door to leave?
Thinking it over, Chu Qinghe sat up again, supporting his lower back with his hand. Then, with a thought, he crushed some small red fruits and mixed them into the water glass before drinking it.
A slight sadness settled in my heart.
Martial artists, through long-term cultivation of internal energy or true qi, will indeed see an improvement in their physical constitution.
But the improvement is only so-so. For example, Chu Qinghe's physical fitness is at most only slightly better than that of an ordinary person.
However, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue are different.
Both women are at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
In terms of physique, the two women were much stronger than Chu Qinghe.
With this shift in balance, Chu Qinghe's energy is definitely becoming somewhat stretched thin.
Moreover, Chu Qinghe was somewhat better off after being acupunctured.
The key point is that Chu Qinghe dominated the entire night.
That would be a different story.
But what could Chu Qinghe do?
You can keep showing off even if you have to kneel down.
Men, there are some things you have to endure no matter what.
However, feeling his legs trembling slightly, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but grin.
Chu Qinghe estimated that if he could hold on a few more times, he probably wouldn't be able to.
"Hopefully, they'll be able to find some medicines or martial arts techniques that can improve physical fitness later on!"
Needless to say, medicine is another matter. In the martial arts world, there are some special martial arts techniques that can not only improve one's strength after training, but also greatly enhance the physical condition of the martial artist.
Even without using internal force or true energy, one can achieve a state of strength capable of lifting a cauldron.
For example, the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" passed down by the eccentric hero of Tianchi in the past, or the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" which is a protective divine skill in the secret sect of the Great Yuan Kingdom, both have such effects.
Naturally, the best way to resolve Chu Qinghe's current predicament is to address the problem at its root.
Make yourself stronger.
Otherwise, judging from the situation last night, we wouldn't be able to hold on!
With this thought in mind, Chu Qinghe sighed, then added another handful of bright red fruit to the water glass.
On the other side.
South of the city, in the suburbs.
In the biting cold of the twelfth lunar month, the lake ten miles south of the city was already covered with thick ice.
On the smooth ice surface, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were surrounded by surging and spreading true energy.
However, compared to Dongfang Bubai's composure, Yaoyue's expression was unusually solemn.
It should be noted that Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai were previously evenly matched in strength.
Moreover, their martial arts techniques subtly restrain each other.
This has resulted in the two having roughly the same outcome in previous battles.
However, a few days ago on Blackwood Cliff, Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Manual" reached its highest level. Apart from the quality of the true energy itself, in terms of movement and the position of the moves, Dongfang Bubai was definitely superior to Yaoyue.
The scales naturally tipped in favor of Dongfang Bubai.
Although thanks to the characteristics of "Transplanting Flowers and Jade," Dongfang Bubai was indeed unable to break Yaoyue's "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" in a short battle.
However, at this time, Yaoyue's "Mingyu Gong" was only at the seventh level, not the ninth level, which could achieve the state of endless life, without ceasing, and infinite.
After the continuous battles from last night until now, it's easy to imagine how much Yaoyue's true energy has been depleted.
If things continue as they are now, Yaoyue will be the one who suffers.
Taking in Yaoyue's expression, Dongfang Bubai revealed a smug smile.
"So? Do you want to continue fighting?"
Inviting Moon sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
After saying that, Yaoyue moved swiftly and appeared in front of Dongfang Bubai in an instant, taking the initiative to attack.
Faced with Yaoyue's attack, Dongfang Bubai sneered without showing any fear.
In just over ten breaths, the two exchanged a hundred moves.
Perhaps knowing that simply using the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique as before would not be enough to defeat Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue now showed no mercy in her attacks, each move seemingly aimed at a mutually destructive battle with Dongfang Bubai.
However, despite the ferocity of Yaoyue's attacks, Dongfang Bubai was always able to accurately predict Yaoyue's attacks in the face of absolute speed.
After another hundred moves, the true energy within Dongfang Bubai's body suddenly surged violently.
The next instant, as he rushed toward Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai's figure flashed, creating three afterimages at the same time.
Faced with the sudden appearance of four figures, Yaoyue, who was completely unprepared, was momentarily stunned.
But in that very instant, the outcome of a battle could be decided.
