The Terrifying Medicinal Solution (1)
"I see, I understand." Fanxin Xin nodded and said.
This is similar to his soul fusion; he could learn one of someone else's abilities simply by obtaining a wisp of their soul. However, he no longer does this. Because only the person who created the ability can bring it to its full potential.
Although he can use it, it's only a simplified version, and he can't unleash its true power at all.
More importantly, it consumes too much of his soul. He's currently cultivating and strengthening his soul; he doesn't want to focus his attention on that.
"Yes, these things were accumulated by Martial Monkey over many years," the parrot said. "This pool is very special; it can regenerate itself. As long as you obtain someone's blood, it can replicate it, and once it's used up, it will automatically regenerate. If it weren't for this, this pool would have been useless long ago."
"I see, I understand now," Fanxin nodded in response.
"Hmm, this potion isn't just effective on living beings, it's also useful on weapons. Kid, soak your weapons in it too! Perhaps you'll get unexpected results," the parrot chuckled.
"Really? Then I definitely have to try it." Fanxin nodded firmly and said.
Since it was free and didn't cost any money, he naturally wouldn't be polite. He drew his twin swords and jumped into the pool. Once inside, without saying a word, he sank to the bottom.
He is an amphibian and is not afraid of water. He does this so that his whole body can be submerged. In this way, he can be enhanced in all aspects.
The parrot only left after seeing Fanxin enter the lake.
Not long after, a monkey picked up the half-dead Langyue, threw her into the pond, and left.
Langyue gritted her teeth and slowly swam to the edge of the pool, gripping the edge with her front paws to prevent herself from falling in.
Its body was swollen and aching, covered in bruises, and its face was distorted—all from the monkeys' attacks. The monkeys showed no mercy; after defeating the giant wolf it had created, they began attacking it at close range. Because the monkeys were so fast, it was completely powerless to resist.
For the next hour, it was being brutally beaten.
However, it persevered through gritted teeth until the monkeys were exhausted, at which point it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You bastards, just you wait. Once I get stronger, I'll definitely teach you a lesson." Langyue said viciously.
It had never suffered such a loss since its debut. This time, it was seriously injured, with countless bones broken all over its body.
"I won't think about it anymore. I'll soak in the medicinal solution first! That parrot said I can recover here." After thinking for a moment, Langyue stopped worrying about it.
Now, it's no use thinking too much, because it can't put it into action! While its strength is still not as great as those guys, all its imagination is just wishful thinking.
Instead of dwelling on this, it should focus on healing its body. Once it's better, it can stand up and properly deal with those wretched monkeys.
It lay down by the pool, resting peacefully.
After Fanxin submerged himself underwater, he sat cross-legged at the bottom of the pool.
After he settled down, he began to fully enjoy the surprise that the medicine brought him.
At first, Fanxin showed no reaction whatsoever. If the parrot hadn't been so adamant, he would have gone out and given it a hard time.
However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Fanxin felt a domineering force enter his body through his pores. A piercing pain instantly swept through his entire body.
His veins bulged all over his body, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body seemed to have swelled up, making him look like a ferocious monster.
Despite the pain, Fanxin did not cry out; he gritted his teeth and endured it all.
After that power entered through his pores, it began to invade every part of his body. He felt that every cell was filled with that power, and his body seemed to be inflated and swollen.
The pain lasted for more than an hour. After more than an hour, Fanxin finally felt a cool sensation slowly spreading throughout his body.
Fanxin looked at his body and saw that he was bleeding. He didn't understand why.
However, he knew that the medicine had already entered his body. His body had been cleansed.
"It definitely feels different. This medicine must be quite effective." Fanxin stretched out his hands and feet and found that he could no longer feel any pain, as if he had never been injured at all.
"Strange, why did he recover so quickly? There must be a secret behind this," Fanxin muttered to himself.
Senior Li Kecheng's medicine was also very effective, but not as fast. It could relieve the pain in a short time, but a full recovery would require daily care.
However, the medicinal liquid here is particularly miraculous; just soaking in it is enough to heal his injuries.
He felt there must be something here that could heal his injuries in a short time; otherwise, it would be impossible.
"Forget it, this is Martial Monkey's territory, it's best not to cause trouble." Fanxin originally wanted to explore the bottom of the pool, but he remembered that he came here to learn martial arts from Wu Hou. If he made a mess of the place, Martial Monkey would definitely drive him away. In that case, he would lose more than he gained. So, after thinking for a moment, he decided not to mess with Martial Monkey.
He can't be ungrateful; if he were, he'd be a complete scoundrel.
He remained at the bottom of the pool, absorbing its energy.
An hour later, feeling that he could no longer absorb energy, he surfaced and returned to the ground.
As soon as he came out, he saw Langyue lying by the pool, soaking in the medicinal liquid.
Fanxin Xin immediately went over, sat down next to Langyue, and asked, "Hehe, you got beaten up so badly too!"
Although Langyue had been soaking in the medicinal solution for some time, it hadn't actually immersed its head in it; it had only casually washed it with the solution. Therefore, the effect wasn't significant, and it could clearly see the injuries on Langyue's head.
"Isn't that right? Damn it, those damned monkeys went too far. I will definitely not let them get away with this," Langyue said viciously.
"Really? That's a good idea, but it's impossible to do right now," Fanxin Xin said, shaking his head.
Those monkeys are true masters of Taijutsu; defeating them is no easy feat! He doesn't even dare to think about it anymore, because those guys are terrifying!
"Of course, I'm no match for them now," Langyue nodded and said.
It tried today, and those guys were not to be trifled with. It couldn't possibly have taken care of them all. Now, it's even finding it difficult to fight a single monkey.
"Alright, stop thinking about it now. It's no use." Fanxin said, "Take a breath and put your head in the water! Otherwise, the injury to your head will be hard to heal."
Washing won't work; you have to soak it in the medicinal solution for it to take effect. This is the conclusion I reached after trying it Fanxin.
"Okay, I understand." Langyue did not object upon hearing this.
It also sensed that the injury on its head was getting better; if it continued like this, its head would remain swollen and look terrible.
"Alright, you can go soak in the water yourself. I'm going to go for a walk." Fanxin stood up and walked away. Now that he had recovered, he could run around freely.
Fanxin wandered around, surveying the area. A short while later, a parrot flew over. Fanxin wasn't sure if it was the same parrot, as they all looked quite similar!
The parrot landed unceremoniously on Fanxin's head, as if his head were a twig.
"Kid, have you recovered?" the parrot asked.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't dare to wander around!" Fanxin nodded firmly. He wouldn't be running around if his injuries hadn't healed yet. The more he moved, the more pain he felt! Running around would only make him suffer.
"It's good that you've recovered. You'll start training tomorrow," the parrot said.
"Okay, I understand. Uh, could you tell me about the training program?" Fanxin asked curiously.
"Of course you can. Your task tomorrow is to defeat a giant elephant using your own abilities," the parrot said. "You can't use your skill of launching Diamond Spikes anymore, understand?"
"Oh, but that's my ability too, so why can't I use it?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.
"Because you used that move, you couldn't unleash your body's potential! Your body has been enhanced in every way after being soaked in the medicinal liquid. You can only unleash your potential through head-on combat, understand?" the parrot said. "But your skill not only fails to unleash your body's potential, it actually gradually conceals it."
"Those diamonds are part of your own body. By shooting them out, he's essentially depleting his own physical reserves. As a result, you'll forever remain stagnant, unable to unleash your body's full potential."
"Therefore, you absolutely must not use that move, and I suggest you never use it again," the parrot said solemnly.
"Oh, okay then, I agree." Fanxin nodded affirmatively.
Those Diamond Spikes have both advantages and disadvantages; he has already tried them out. While the Diamond Spikes can attack from all directions, he only uses them when he is unable to defend himself against the enemy.
His strength will grow stronger over time. By then, the Diamond Spikes skill will become somewhat useless. Therefore, he naturally won't use it anymore.
"That's good. Martial Monkey is a master of Taijutsu; his strength lies in developing his physical potential," the parrot said. "So, you'll have to fight every day. Keep up the good work; he won't have time to relax for a long time to come."
"I couldn't be happier," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
He desperately wanted to increase his strength and master the Haki as soon as possible. Only then could he set sail again.
"Oh, right, how do I learn Haki? Do you guys have any ideas?" Fanxin suddenly remembered something and immediately asked.
"Haki? Yes, many of the Martial Monkey here have learned Haki," the parrot said. "Why are you asking this? Has the dormant power within you Awakening?"
Haki is something that every living being possesses, whether human or animal. The key is whether you can develop it; if you can't, then everything else is in vain.
Therefore, the parrot knew of the existence of the Haki, and since it had been here for many years, acting as a translator between humans and the Martial Monkey, it naturally knew what that power was called.
"Yes, mine has Awakening. However, I can't control it. I've trained for a long time, but there's been no reaction at all." Fanxin nodded and shouted.
"Oh, really? Then Martial Monkey has struck gold this time," the parrot said with a laugh.
"What does that mean?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.
"Those who come here are generally weaklings who haven't Awakening their Haki."
The parrot said, "And the Martial Monkey will select the most qualified individuals for training. As long as they survive here, they'll generally achieve great things after they leave."
"However, even if they cultivate here, they might not be able to awaken their inner Haki. Awakening Haki requires certain conditions. If you Awakening your Haki, then of course it's a treasure."
"Martial Monkey love creatures like that. If you achieve success in your cultivation, then they'll have someone to challenge you," the parrot said with a chuckle.
Martial Monkey love to fight, and the stronger you are, the more they enjoy it. That's why they're called "Martial Monkey."
"Oh, I'd like to ask, why does the Martial Monkey train others? What is his purpose?" Fanxin asked curiously.
He sensed that Martial Monkey was doing this for a purpose, but he didn't know what that purpose was.
"I don't know the specifics," the parrot said. "They appear once every so often, and those who are destined will receive their true teachings. But once that destined person leaves, the Martial Monkey will completely disappear, and you will be unable to find it no matter how hard you try."
"I see, how mysterious," Fanxin said.
"Yes! You are the one destined for this trip. The Martial Monkey will train anyone or any animal you bring in. After you leave, the Martial Monkey will disappear. I don't know where he goes," the parrot said.
Although it was friends with the Martial Monkey, they were not the same kind and could not go with them. So, after the Martial Monkey left, they lived here alone.
"Alright! Since they have a way, I believe I can master the Haki soon," Fanxin said.
"Yes, that's right, Martial Monkey is an expert in this area." The parrot nodded affirmatively and asked, "Hey, let me ask you something, what level is your Haki?"
It also knew the three levels of Haki. It asked this question to understand the situation so it could report back to the Martial Monkey. The Martial Monkey could then train its Fanxin accordingly.
