Berserk Factor

"Get a physical exam!!!!!"

Gu Qiuxi, her face flushed, hugged herself and, after a moment of thought, said in a slightly trembling voice, "If it's Brother Xingyu, then I have no objection. Anyway, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

Seeing Gu Qiuxi's expression, Xu Xingyu knew perfectly well that this little girl had misunderstood, and quickly said before she could do anything rash, "I just want to check the condition of the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, don't get the wrong idea!!!"

"Eh..." Gu Qiuxi looked at Xu Xingyu with slight disappointment and muttered, "I understand, I understand. So what are you going to do?"

"Turn around and face away from me. I will infuse my Soul Power and Spiritual Power into your body to examine the seal on the Golden Dragon King Divine Core and to check for any Divine Core dangers originating from it."

"Understood."

After saying that, Gu Qiuxi turned her back to Xu Xingyu as Xu Xingyu, waiting for the other party to examine her. Seeing that the other party was so convenient, Xu Xingyu immediately placed her hands on Gu Qiuxi's jade-like back and began to pour her Soul Power and Spiritual Power into it, ignoring the softness and the feeling of her jade-like back.

Soon, with the infusion of Xu Xingyu's Soul Power and Spiritual Power, everything about Gu Qiuxi was exposed to his detection, both internally and externally.

After sensing the information about Gu Qiuxi's body that the Soul Power and Spiritual Power brought to Xu Xingyu, he ignored certain private information and began to focus on sensing Gu Qiuxi's physical condition.

Just as he had predicted, Gu Qiuxi's physical and Spiritual Power far surpassed those of her peers, both at the level of Super Douluo. This was within Xu Xingyu's expectations, since cultivating in the Divine Dragon Pool greatly benefits one's blood and Spiritual Power. Coupled with Gu Qiuxi's status as the inheritor of the Golden Dragon King and the Emperor Auspicious Beast, it was only natural that she possessed such physical and mental talents.

But the very thing he feared happened. Under Xu Xingyu's detection, he discovered that Gu Qiuxi's meridians were covered with countless red glimmers of light, and even her originally rose-gold Sea of Consciousness had a bloody red tinge.

Xu Xingyu sensed a violent and bloodthirsty will within these red lights. If she wasn't mistaken, this was the Golden Dragon King Berserk Factor of the Golden Dragon King that Gu Qiuxi absorbed along with the power of the Golden Dragon King.

Seeing Gu Qiuxi's body already eroded by the Golden Dragon King Berserk Factor, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but look ugly, and her hands, which were originally pressed against Gu Qiuxi's jade back, began to clench into fists.

This change did not escape Gu Qiuxi's notice, so she turned her head to see what had happened. She saw Xu Xingyu's pale face and asked with concern, "Brother Xingyu, is my condition very serious?"

To this, Xu Xingyu could only say with a stern face, "It's more than just serious. In my opinion, if we don't resolve your physical problems now, you'll eventually get burned!"

"Oh! Is that so? But I feel perfectly healthy! It's not as serious as you're making it out to be!"

In response to Gu Qiuxi's doubts, Gu Qiuxi Xu Xingyu directly used her Spiritual Power to visualize what she had seen, and solemnly explained, pointing to the red light in her meridians, "These red dots are the Golden Dragon King's Berserk Factor. These Berserk Factor alone cannot cause you any harm, but if you do not refine or eliminate Berserk Factor as soon as possible, they will begin to affect your personality, making you more violent and unable to calm down."

"How could this happen? Could this be a side effect of using the Blood Dragon Transformation?"

However, Xu Xingyu shook her head at Gu Qiuxi's surprised answer and continued, "At first, I thought it was just a side effect of the Blood Dragon Transformation, just like you. In that case, even if you don't actively refine these Berserk Factor, they will be automatically eliminated by your body over time."

"But upon further investigation, I discovered that these Berserk Factor had penetrated very deeply; it wasn't a recent infestation, but rather something that had been eroding your body for a long time."

"If my guess is correct, this is a side effect of absorbing the power of the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, at most triggered by the recent Blood Dragon Transformation."

"Normally, whenever you absorb a portion of the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core power, you will encounter resistance from the remaining Will of Destruction within it. Only by withstanding the torment of this Will of Destruction can you absorb its essence without any waste."

"But precisely because of this, every time you resist the Will of Destruction, it leaves the Berserk Factor belonging to the Golden Dragon King in your body. If it were just that, there wouldn't be a problem, as I said before. However, in recent years, haven't you been frantically absorbing the power of the Golden Dragon King Divine Core by taking advantage of the effects of the Divine Dragon Pool?"

Faced with Xu Xingyu's question, Gu Qiuxi could only happily reply, "I just don't want to hold Brother Xingyu back during the assessment."

Xu Xingyu could only sigh helplessly and say in a slightly reproachful tone, "I understand your desire to help me, but you can't just ignore your own safety like this!!!"

"You need to understand that this is why your body has been eroded by an excessive amount of the Golden Dragon King Berserk Factor, even affecting your meridians. This is beyond the scope of your body's self-repair capabilities."

"It may not seem like a big deal now, but I believe that if you continue to absorb the power of the Golden Dragon King Divine Core in the future, you will be unable to withstand the Will of Destruction due to the excessive Berserk Factor, ultimately turning you into a beast that only knows destruction."

"Even if you give up the power of the Golden Dragon King now, it won't work. The reason those Berserk Factor have been so well-behaved until now is entirely because of the rich Golden Dragon King Bloodline in your body, which is why they see you as one of their own. Once the Golden Dragon King Bloodline is stripped away, these Berserk Factor will begin to wreak havoc on your body, and even if you don't die, you won't be in good shape."

"What should we do then? Do I have to give up cultivation and focus on eliminating these Berserk Factor? But that would take too much time!" Gu Qiuxi said with a displeased expression, "We're going to collect the Power of Faith of the Dragon Clan here. Do you expect me to just stand by and watch Brother Xingyu handle everything by himself?"

"Sigh, I knew you'd say that. I do have a way to speed up the removal of the Berserk Factor, but this method..."

Even Xu Xingyu felt a little embarrassed at the thought of this method. It was definitely a legitimate approach, but she felt that if she used it, Gu Qiuxi might seize the opportunity to take her to a place she could never return to.

Completely oblivious to Xu Xingyu's embarrassment, Gu Qiuxi excitedly grabbed Xu Xingyu's shoulders and asked, "So what exactly is the solution?"

Simply put, I need to give you a full-body massage.
