Chapter 37: Life Spirit Compendium Functions! (Third update, requesting monthly tickets! ~)
Rain wove a gray spiderweb in the night.
A Life Spirit on a lamppost was gnawing on bones, making crisp crunching sounds.
Fang Qingyu took a deep breath and turned off the Vigilance that kept sending out danger signals.
He completely suppressed the feeling that he would die if he didn't run.
Growing up.
He had actually gotten into many fights, fights he couldn't win but fought anyway.
For example, the people he had taken advantage of in group fights would later call over a burly school bully to deal with him.
Generally, when facing a gap in strength.
He could only do one thing.
Fight desperately!!
As long as the other party also felt pain.
If he could bite the opponent after taking three punches, the opponent would eventually be afraid.
Now.
It was time to fight desperately.
The stalemate didn't last long.
When Ying Kai was completely digested within that mass of flesh.
The Life Spirit leaped from the lamppost, and the umbilical flesh mass suddenly shot out dozens of purplish-black blood vessels, tearing through the rain curtain like venomous snakes and striking directly.
Fang Qingyu's pupils constricted sharply. He took half a step back, twisted his waist, and swung his hips, his shoe soles churning up fan-shaped splashes on the slippery bluestone.
The Baji Quan move "Small Entanglement" channeled his force to shake off three blood vessels.
A foul-smelling viscous fluid splashed onto his collar, corroding it and producing green smoke.
"Come!!"
The pain made Fang Qingyu roar from his throat.
His right elbow, like a heavy hammer, continued to smash through two attacking blood vessels.
Then, he charged straight forward, his left hand forming a claw to grip the Life Spirit's wrist and bending it backward against the joint.
But it felt like gripping oiled rubber, slippery and without purchase.
Seeing this, the Life Spirit's mouth, split open to its sternum, suddenly expanded, and purplish-black flesh spewed out from its trachea!
Fang Qingyu fell backward, his head grazing the ground as the mass of flesh passed over.
The moment he sprang up using his core strength, his right foot stomped down, exploding the accumulated water. His Ding Xin Elbow struck the Life Spirit's chest like a cannonball.
Bang—
The impact sound was not like that of flesh and blood.
The Life Spirit not only didn't budge, but its umbilical flesh tumor also began to twitch violently.
Dozens of newly formed blood vessels burst from its body.
Fang Qingyu's left arm was instantly pierced through by three bloody holes.
Blood mixed with rainwater spread across his sleeve.
The intense pain, however, made his Dragon Hibernation Breath state even clearer.
"Again..."
Although injured, Fang Qingyu's state became even more frenzied.
He spat out a mouthful of blood foam and tore open his blood-stained shirt.
He directly activated Blood Burst!!
Blood threads began to twine around his body.
His muscles tensed like bowstrings in the rain, and his Baji Quan shifted to its most violent stance.
Seeing the Life Spirit's umbilical flesh tumor suddenly contract to the size of a fist and all its blood vessels retract to gather strength.
Fang Qingyu suddenly stepped forward and stomped his foot, stirring up a three-foot curtain of water.
Then, he actively charged into the densest area of blood vessels.
The moment his right shoulder blade was pierced by three sharp teeth, his left hand, like a steel drill, plunged directly into the core of the umbilical cord.
"Tie Shan Kao!!"
Inch-force erupted in a small space.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the flesh tumor, and the Life Spirit let out an infant-like wail for the first time.
Fang Qingyu seized the opportunity to spin and sever the blood vessels at his shoulder. His blood-stained right hand, fingers together like a knife, fiercely gouged into the cracks.
"Die, you bastard!!"
Thick black blood gushed out.
Countless blood vessels were torn towards the sky under the dim light.
Foul liquid splashed onto the ground.
But Fang Qingyu didn't stop.
His eyes were now fixed on the endless blood vessels within the mass of flesh.
He had only one thought in his mind.
If he could just tear off all the blood vessels, he could live!!!
"Tsk tsk..."
Not far away, two people leaned against the wall, filming with their phones, shaking their heads as they watched the scene.
"Tearing apart an Umbilical Fiend without learning the Contemplation Method. Whose student is this?"
"I don't know."
The other person shook his head.
Fang Qingyu wasn't wearing a Martial Hall uniform, and Baji Quan was the same across all Martial Halls.
With just these few moves, it was hard to tell.
"Let's go. If we go out now, it won't be considered stealing credit."
Seeing that the Umbilical Fiend had been completely torn to shreds, the two of them finally emerged from the darkness.
"Hello, you're safe now."
The two likely knew Fang Qingyu's current state and didn't approach rashly. Instead, they stood at a distance and greeted him, taking out identification from their hands.
"We're from the Regulatory Bureau."
Fang Qingyu turned his head, his eyes red. Only when he heard the familiar words did he slowly let out a sigh of relief.
He put down the remnants in his hands.
And quietly retreated to the side.
Seeing this, the two exchanged a look, and one of them stepped forward.
"I'm Song Ming from the Brahma Martial Hall. You're safe now, an ambulance will be here soon, you can rest assured."
Hearing the word "Martial Hall," Fang Qingyu finally looked up.
His voice was hoarse.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"That, your Martial Hall will explain to you later. The ambulance is here, you should go for treatment first."
Song Ming paused. Fortunately, the sound of an ambulance finally rang out from the alley entrance, and he quickly said.
A group of people in white coats rushed in.
They immediately saw Fang Qingyu, covered in blood.
They quickly lifted him onto a stretcher and carried him back to the ambulance.
Song Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost made a mistake.
Then he looked at Old Chen, who was standing nearby.
"How is it? Did you collect the thing?"
"Yeah, what do you want?"
Old Chen squatted among the pile of flesh, put on gloves, took out a small bead, and looked at Song Ming warily.
"What's with the look? Even if I were greedy, would I steal from someone from our Martial Hall?"
Song Ming rolled his eyes when he saw this.
Ding dong~
Just then, his phone rang.
Song Ming took out his phone and looked.
Private messages from Zheng Lin and Qin Hui were rapidly popping up.
"This is my student!!"
"Where is he??"
"Is he okay??"
"Where are you guys??"
Song Ming's mouth twitched, and he quickly typed a reply to the two of them.
"He's been sent to the hospital. You can just go straight there."
"Whose student is he?"
Seeing Song Ming's expression, Old Chen asked curiously.
"I almost met my end, he's a student of Zheng the Ruthless and Poison Tongue."
Song Ming patted his chest, still feeling a bit scared.
"Oh, it's him."
Old Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Song Ming quickly asked, "You know him??"
Old Chen showed a strange expression. "I do. Zheng Lin shows off her student in the group chat every day. Didn't you know??"
Song Ming took out his phone and opened the group chat, instantly feeling overwhelmed.
"She blocked me!?!?"
Meanwhile.
Fang Qingyu lay in the ambulance.
It was only then that he truly felt the intense pain in his body.
The creature's slime had corrosive properties. He didn't know how much he had come into contact with.
Anyway, he had charged in and finished it off in the end.
He had truly risked his life.
He hadn't considered the consequences at all.
But fortunately...
He had managed to survive.
Watching the doctor busy around him, Fang Qingyu finally relaxed. He looked at the illustrated book in front of him.
If he remembered correctly.
When he killed the Life Spirit, the illustrated book had also quietly changed.
The latest page.
[Congratulations on killing the Life Spirit · Umbilical Fiend, unlocking the Life Spirit Compendium function!]
Just as he finished reading this line.
The page seemed to be splashed with ink.
The ink spread from the bottom of the page, first outlining the twisted shape of an umbilical cord, then drawing swollen gray-white feet, followed by a calf covered in centipede-like stitches.
As the ink reached the waist, the paper suddenly seeped with foul-smelling water.
The Umbilical Flesh Mass slowly took shape within the wet stain, dozens of purplish-black blood vessels wriggling like live snakes on the paper's surface.
The most horrifying part was the center.
A vertically ripped giant mouth occupied more than half of the page, its barbed baby teeth seeming to protrude through the paper.
When the ink painting was finished.
Lines of text began to appear below.
