Steel Fist Advances, the Great Kun Swallows the Heavens

"Big brother, is that so?"

Hong Ling waved her little fists with great enthusiasm. Although her movements were still quite immature, her earnestness was particularly endearing.

"Yes, lower your waist a little more, and generate power from your heels."

While giving instructions, Dongfang Yueming was constantly mentally rehearsing the sequel to "Steel Fist".

[While the Steel Fist is powerful, it is ultimately just a mortal martial art with a very limited potential.]

[If one could combine the power of Qi and blood...]

[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! Steel Fist has advanced to -- Qi and Blood Steel Fist (0/50, not yet Entry)!]

[Continue!]

[Ding! 50 points consumed, Entry!]

[Ding! 150 points consumed, Minor Accomplishment!]

[Ding! 300 points consumed, Major Accomplishment!]

[Ding! 500 points consumed, Perfection!]

"Buzz--!"

A surge of intense energy instantly flowed into his arms!

He casually threw a punch, and the air produced a crisp, explosive sound!

Wow! That's amazing!

Hong Ling stared, her eyes filled with envy, "Big brother, I really want to be as amazing as you..."

"Don't worry, you will." Dongfang Yueming smiled and patted her head.

Just then, Hong Ling suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother! I... I think I'm starting to feel something!"

Her face flushed red, and as she threw a punch, it surprisingly carried a hint of a gust of wind!

Clearly, he has already Entry of boxing!

"Not bad!" Dongfang Yueming exclaimed sincerely.

"Gurgle..."

An untimely sound rang out.

Hong Ling, embarrassed, clutched her stomach, her face flushed, and said, "Big brother, I'm hungry..."

"Let's go hunting!"

The two arrived at a water source and hid in the grass.

A short while later, a huge "Water-Swallowing Python" slowly crawled over.

It opened its gaping maw and sucked hard at the water's surface!

"Splash--!"

A large amount of water, along with the fish and shrimp in the water, was instantly swallowed by it!

Seeing this scene, a sudden inspiration One Flash in Dongfang Yueming's mind!

[Absorb... digest... transform into one's own power...]

[Isn't this... the most suitable cultivation method for Hong Ling?]

[Ding! You have comprehended the Qi and Blood Cultivation Method - "Great Kun Qi and Blood Method" (0/500, not yet Entry)!]

Just as he was immersed in his comprehension, the Water-Swallowing Python seemed to sense the danger and turned tail and ran, disappearing into the depths of the jungle in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no! It got away!"

Hong Ling stomped her foot in frustration, pouted, and complained, "Big brother, it's all your fault! What were you daydreaming about!"

"Haha, so be it, they ran away."

Dongfang Yueming, however, was overjoyed. He picked up Hong Ling and kissed her on the cheek.

"Because... I have found the cultivation method that is most suitable for you!"

"Really?!" Hong Ling's anger instantly turned to joy, her big eyes sparkling.

"Certainly!"

Dongfang Yueming's mind stirred.

[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! Consumed 500 points, "Great Kun Qi and Blood Method" upgraded to Entry!]

[Ding! Consumed...]

[Ding! 2000 points consumed, Perfection!]

"Boom--!"

A vast and boundless surge of energy and blood energy coursed through his body!

This exercise not only allows you to quickly accumulate qi and blood through eating, but also greatly enhances the body's digestion and absorption capabilities!

It's practically tailor-made for Hong Ling, this little foodie!

"Alright, the cultivation technique is ready."

Dongfang Yueming put Hong Ling down, looked at her expectant eyes, and smiled.

"But right now... we need to figure out dinner first!"

Night fell, and the campfire flickered.

Using the wild fruits he found and the candies he scavenged from those unfortunate souls, Dongfang Yueming created a unique treat for Hong Ling... "Ice Candy Fruit".

Wow! So sweet! So crunchy!

Hong Ling took a bite, her eyes instantly narrowing into two crescent moons, her little feet dangling with happiness.

"This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!"

After she finished eating the fruit, Dongfang Yueming began to teach her the "Great Kun Qi and Blood Method".

This technique was indeed miraculous; as soon as she started practicing it, Hong Ling's stomach began to rumble.

"Waaah... Big brother, I'm hungry again..."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Dongfang Yueming was both amused and exasperated, and could only give her his already meager rations.

That night, although the two were starving, they slept in each other's arms, and it was a particularly warm and cozy time.

The next morning.

When Hong Ling woke up, she immediately reached out in terror to her side.

Empty!

"Big brother?!"

She panicked and rushed barefoot out of the stone house. Only when she saw the figure carrying a huge prey back did she stop crying and start laughing.

Big brother! You didn't leave!

"Silly girl, how could I abandon you?"

Hong Ling ate her breakfast with exceptional relish.

As she consumed a large amount of food, the "Great Kun Qi and Blood Method" began to operate on its own, and streams of heat surged through her body.

After eating and drinking her fill, she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, she was surprised to find that there was a faint but real flow of energy inside her body!

"Qi and Blood First Level! I succeeded!"

She excitedly threw herself into Dongfang Yueming's arms, jumping and skipping.

In the days that followed, the two lived a life where the man was in charge of external affairs and the woman was in charge of internal affairs.

Dongfang Yueming was in charge of hunting, while Hong Ling was in charge of... eating!

With the blessing of the "Great Kun Qi and Blood Method," she was like a bottomless pit, able to quickly digest any amount of food and transform it into pure qi and blood.

In just a few months, her originally thin and sallow face became rosy and full, and her cultivation level soared all the way to the Qi and Blood Ninth Level!

Moreover, as they spent more and more time together, the way Hong Ling looked at Dongfang Yueming gradually underwent some subtle changes.

Whenever he returned from hunting, she would be the first to greet him, wiping his sweat and offering him water.

Whenever the night was quiet, she would secretly gaze at his sleeping face, lost in thought, and a feeling she had never experienced before would well up in her heart.

[This feeling...]

What exactly is it?
