After extinguishing the fire with the Seven Injuries Fist Force, Su Que, estimating that it was late at night, returned to the cave, wiped off his sweat, put on his clothes, and rushed back to Jade Water City.
Upon returning home, Su Jing saw Su Que and said:
"Xiao Que, why not refrain from going out at night during this period?"
"The White Lotus Sect is rampant, and it's very dangerous outside."
Su Que said, "It's fine, I always steer clear whenever I see them. I've never provoked them; they won't target me."
Hearing Su Que say this, Su Jing didn't speak further.
Although she had a rather strong character, the patriarchal mindset of the class she was in was too strong.
Su Que was the only male in the family; after their father died, he became the head of the household. As a woman in the family, she couldn't say much.
...
The next night, after dinner, Su Que left the city and dashed into a woodland outside the city.
According to the Red Fiend Technique secret manual, when the Red Fiend Technique is cultivated to a certain realm, the Red Fiend True Qi will carry Fire Poison.
When striking an enemy, it can scorch the enemy's meridians and internal organs.
Last night, Su Que only struck trees and didn't test it on animals.
Therefore, he planned to test his Red Fiend True Qi during tonight's hunting.
He dashed back and forth in the woods, and after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he found a tiger.
His heart rejoiced, and he immediately dashed towards the still somewhat bewildered tiger, infusing his arm with Red Fiend True Qi, and punched it.
The tiger roared and ran off to one side.
After running a distance, its speed began to slow down, and its steps became wobbly.
Soon, with a thud, the tiger's massive body fell to the ground.
Su Que dashed over to the tiger's body, placed his hand on it, and transmitted a thread of True Qi into the tiger's body to probe.
In just a moment, Su Que found that the tiger's meridians and internal organs were all scorched black.
Even though the tiger was dead, its meridians and internal organs were still burning slowly.
"The Red Fiend True Qi indeed carries Fire Poison, just as the secret manual said..."
After roasting and eating the tiger, Su Que went to the cave on Cyan Flower Mountain, sat cross-legged, and continued cultivating the Red Fiend Technique.
Name: Su Que (18 years old)
Lifespan: 153
Talent Value: 28
Martial Arts: Seven Injuries Fist (6th Realm Divine Skill 36%), Five Animals Qigong (1st Realm Initial Insight 1%)
Inner Strength: Marriage Robe Divine Skill (4th Realm Elite 30%), Red Fiend Technique (4th Realm Elite 21%)
According to the Red Fiend Technique secret manual, once the Red Fiend True Qi develops Fire Poison, the Red Fiend Technique is almost at its peak.
In other words, this cultivation technique, as created, can only be cultivated to the 4th Realm Elite.
How to continue advancing was not recorded in the manual, and probably no one knows.
But as he cultivated the Red Fiend Technique, Su Que always had insights about the Red Fiend Technique come to mind.
Even though the Red Fiend Technique secret manual doesn't record how to continue cultivating the Red Fiend Technique, he gradually deduced the subsequent methods of training it with his superior enlightenment.
He estimated that the Red Fiend Technique, which was originally only able to be trained to the 4th Realm, he should be able to train to the 5th Realm.
So, he continued practicing.
After another day, his Red Fiend Technique broke through again, reaching the 5th Realm Refining Skill.
His lifespan increased by 4 years, and his Talent Value increased by 1 point.
After the breakthrough, he planned to test the power of the Red Fiend True Qi.
He walked to a tree, and after punching the trunk, it burned a black hole, from which black smoke and occasional sparks emerged.
Then, he gathered all his Red Fiend True Qi, moved his steps, and continuously punched the tree!
Instantly, myriad fist shadows enveloped the entire tree.
After five breaths, Su Que's punching hands stopped, and the myriad fist shadows disappeared instantly.
Before him, where there used to be a tree trunk, was empty, with only a patch of black flying ash swirling before him.
On the ground, only a low stump remained.
The top of the stump was charred and mushy.
The trunk had been burned to ashes by Su Que's punches.
"Wood is flammable, and at such a temperature, it naturally ignites easily. I wonder to what extent the Red Fiend True Qi's lethality on living creatures is now?"
With this thought, Su Que's figure blurred as he darted towards other parts of the forest.
His gaze swept around, searching for traces of animals.
It was already winter, and many wild beasts were hibernating in their dens, making them not easy to find in the forest.
Su Que immediately dashed towards a mountain, spending nearly a quarter of an hour, found a hibernating black bear in a cave.
Immediately, he roused his Red Fiend True Qi and slammed a punch down on the black bear!
Roar~~~!
The black bear was startled awake, and its massive body suddenly stood up, letting out a roar.
Being disturbed in its hibernation, it was extremely angry, lifting a giant paw, it struck fiercely at Su Que!
Su Que didn't care about the bear paw at all, swinging his fists mightily, countless punches fell on the black bear's body.
His punching speed was extremely fast, and before the bear paw could fall on him, the bear's body had already been hit dozens of times.
The fur in front of the black bear was burned off by Su Que's Red Fiend True Qi.
Subsequently, a meaty aroma wafted off the black bear's body.
After a while, the entire black bear was thoroughly cooked from inside to out, and the cave was filled with the aroma of meat.
Seeing such a large black bear, Su Que didn't want to waste it, so he returned to the cave on Cyan Flower Mountain.
He fetched a dagger, some seasoning jars, and a small jar of wine.
Using the dagger, he cut off the edible meat from the black bear, a piece of meat, a sip of wine.
...
Another day passed, and at night, Su Que continued cultivating the Red Fiend Technique in the cave.
Name: Su Que (18 years old)
Lifespan: 160
Talent Value: 30
Martial Arts: Seven Injuries Fist (6th Realm Divine Skill 36%), Five Animals Qigong (1st Realm Initial Insight 1%)
Inner Strength: Marriage Robe Divine Skill (4th Realm Elite 30%), Red Fiend Technique (5th Realm Refining Skill 99%)
In just one night, Su Que's Red Fiend Technique reached 5th Realm Refining Skill 99%.
His lifespan increased by three years, and his Talent Value increased by one point.
His heart also became stronger, pumping Qi Blood like a rushing river throughout his body.
Because the Red Fiend Technique is relatively lower in level than the Marriage Robe Divine Skill, it was also easier to cultivate.
Thus, in a short time, he could cultivate its realm to be higher than the Marriage Robe Divine Skill.
However, this doesn't mean that the 4th Realm Elite Marriage Robe Divine Skill is inferior to the Red Fiend Technique.
Although Marriage Robe Divine Skill's advancement is slow, its True Qi's destructive power is still incomparable to the Red Fiend True Qi.
Nevertheless, after mastering the Red Fiend True Qi, he released it together with the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi.
Therefore, the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi he unleashed not only had stronger striking force but also carried the special effects of scorching and Fire Poison.
The Red Fiend Technique, currently at 5th Realm Refining Skill 99%, is already at its peak.
Perhaps when his Talent Value increases again in the future, he can further deduce the cultivation of this technique.
