Chapter 487: Section 274: Teng Donglang’s Pills
Facing Xiong Ju’s refusal, the Dwarf leader shook his head. “Using the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer is very simple. You just need to throw it ahead of time, and it will strike any enemy within the range, centered on you.”
“You can think of it as a Quasi-Gold level heavy dart.”
“Later, I can spar with you to guide you on how to use it. It will take about half an hour for you to master it completely.”
“By then, you can use your spiritual power to control the Flying Hammer, allowing it to coordinate closely and precisely with you.”
Xiong Ju nodded. “In that case, it’s not bad.”
The Demon hybrid leader exclaimed in admiration, “You all have brought out such great things, it looks like I need to dig deep into my reserves as well.”
He suddenly leaned his head back, took a deep breath, regurgitated from his stomach, and then his Adam’s apple moved as he opened his mouth and spat out a wet eyeball.
The eyeball was as big as a fist, filled with blood vessels and little fleshy tendrils.
“Evil Eye?!” Everyone’s expression changed slightly when they saw the eyeball.
After the eyeball hit the long table and bounced a couple of times, it stretched out its tendrils and “stood up”.
Under the control of the Demon hybrid leader’s spirit manipulation, the eyeball used its tendrils like legs and walked up to Xiong Ju.
Xiong Ju, seeing the eyeball covered in someone else’s saliva, showed a clear look of disgust.
The Demon hybrid leader chuckled with a certain malevolence, “Xiong Ju, you need to swallow it. It can grow anywhere in your body and integrate with your body, as if it were a natural organ.”
“Besides providing you with an extra field of vision, its most important feature is that it can fire three spiritual rays in a short period of time.”
“Without specific protective measures, even a Golden Level target can be hit. If the spiritual power is weaker than the Evil Eye, the target will faint or suffer from severe dizziness or hallucinations. The specific effect depends on the actual strength of the target’s spiritual power.”
After listening, Xiong Ju reluctantly nodded.
He disliked the eyeball, but he knew its value.
The Demon hybrid leader, still a bit uneasy, warned, “Be careful not to overuse it in battle. If you fire the rays more than three times in a short period, the Evil Eye won’t be able to sustain it and might collapse. Once the Evil Eye collapses, it will cause a huge mental shock to you, the host, and also cause great damage to your body. Remember, remember!”
The Human Race leader, the Dwarf leader, and the Demon hybrid all laid their cards on the table, and Xiong Ju cast his gaze toward Ban Langen and the Spring Boxer.
After pondering for a moment, Ban Langen pulled out a syringe as thick as a baby’s arm.
“I thought it over, and among all my equipment, this suits you the best. You should be quite familiar with this treasure; it’s called the Qi Needle.”
“As fighters, we can store our Fighting Energy in it. In the heat of battle, when our Fighting Energy is exhausted, one jab with this and you can replenish a large amount of Fighting Energy in a short time.”
“Its storage limit is basically equivalent to my total Fighting Energy when I’m at full strength. For you, Xiong Ju, it would probably reach about two-thirds of your total Fighting Energy.”
“Great stuff!” Xiong Ju exclaimed in admiration and took the Qi Needle.
Though it’s only Silver Level, the Qi Needle is extremely practical and holds significant value in real combat.
Xiong Ju finally looked at the Spring Boxer.
The Spring Boxer shrugged and said, “You all know about me; I’m much younger than you and have only been a leader for a short while. My usual accumulations are all spent on cultivation. My strongest part is my spring components, how about I dismantle them for you?”
Xiong Ju coldly huffed and said discontentedly, “I don’t even want your springs.”
The Spring Boxer was also dissatisfied with the collusion among the others, but he couldn’t very well voice it.
On one hand, he himself was a Saber Gang leader, on the same side as these people, and couldn’t turn against his own.
On the other hand, what they were doing was not against the rules of dueling.
Seeing the Spring Boxer not cooperating, Teng Donglang stepped in to smooth things over.
He took out a medicine bottle, with a transparent body through which three pills could be seen.
“These are cultivation pills made by an Eastern Monk. After taking them, a fighter’s Fighting Energy will gain penetrating striking effects.”
Teng Donglang introduced calmly.
This remark elicited a murmur of awe from all the leaders.
“Ah, it’s Penetration Power!”
“Such pills are extremely rare. I’ve only heard about them, never seen them with my own eyes.”
“Eastern Monks, in order to cultivate Penetration Power, specially concoct these pills. But the cost of making these pills is very high; besides needing a skilled Pharmacist, it must also involve a Holy Domain Level fighter who has cultivated Penetration Power throughout the process.”
“In the monastery, these pills are always in short supply. Though they’re only Silver Level, they’re priceless and often auctioned off at Gold Level prices!”
“Gang leader, how on earth did you get your hands on these pills?”
None of the leaders could contain their excitement.
Because they were all fighters.
The use of magic has its techniques, such as Quick Casting, Continuous Casting, and Layered Casting, among others.
Similarly, the use of Fighting Energy also has techniques.
Among them, Puncture Power, Cutting Power, and Penetration Power are the classic three major Fighting Energy attack techniques.
Mastering Puncture Power allowed any Combat Skill to have a puncturing attack effect.
If the Dragon-man youth mastered Puncture Power, each of his Blast Fist strikes would integrate the power of puncturing. Whether it exploded first and then punctured or punctured first and then exploded, it would double the might of his attacks.
It could be said that mastering any power could greatly boost a fighter’s strength.
However, acquiring this Fighting energy technique had always been a difficult task.
Cultivation was not only about expending a massive amount of effort but also about having insight.
Among the fighters’ territories of the Holy Bright Empire, the monks from the Eastern Monastery were the most adept at cultivating this Fighting energy technique.
They were not only proficient in cultivation but also summarized and developed many auxiliary teaching tools to help others master the power more easily.
Even so, monks who learned Penetration Power were still few.
Among the three classical Fighting energy attack techniques, Penetration Power was rarer, harder to master, and more practical than Puncture Power and Cutting Power.
Puncture Power and Cutting Power could be replaced by Combat Skills and weapons to achieve piercing and cutting effects.
But Penetration Power was hard to replace (of course, there were rare Combat Skills that could produce a penetration effect).
Its specific effect was that the released Combat Skill could penetrate the surface defense and directly infiltrate the enemy’s body.
Undoubtedly, it was the bane of armor defense!
Thus, the excitement of the leaders was understandable.
Among the six present, not one possessed mastery of any power.
Then, Teng Donglang suddenly took out a bottle of pills. These pills could help the user temporarily enhance the striking effect of power.
Enhancing combat strength momentarily was just the least impressive function of the pills.
Their greatest function was helping fighters experience the feeling of Penetration Power in advance.
This was extremely beneficial for fighters to master this power.
In fact, the Eastern Monks developed these pills as a precious teaching tool to guide the younger generation in learning Penetration Power!
Teng Donglang’s gaze fell on the Spring Boxer and he sighed, “I haven’t mastered any power, but these pills weren’t prepared for myself. I arranged for a junior years ago through military connections, and after much difficulty, I managed to obtain three recently.”
“Now, I think it’s very appropriate to use them against Long Fu.”
“Don’t underestimate our opponents this time. They acted preemptively after confronting the Ice Eagle, they are not simple!”
“Now our entire gang is facing a challenge, we need to come together, contribute, and cooperate sincerely.”
“Because we are a gang, we are one, we are our own people.”
“What do you think, Little Spring?”
The Spring Boxer visibly changed colors, moved and ashamed, he lowered his head and admitted his fault to Teng Donglang, “Gang Leader, I will bear your words in mind. I also think… these three pills are very suitable for Xiong Ju.”
The other leaders were silent.
They all knew the relationship between Teng Donglang and the Spring Boxer.
Teng Donglang had always taken good care of the Spring Boxer, in fact, the Spring Boxer’s position as a gang leader was also a result of Teng Donglang’s support.
Clearly, the three pills were specifically prepared by Teng Donglang for the Spring Boxer.
However, the Spring Boxer was too young, ascended to a high position, and made mistakes.
His biggest mistake wasn’t losing to the Dragon-man youth, or idolizing the Dragon-man youth, but in this intra-gang remembrance, it was the poor attitude he displayed.
He had actually opposed his own people and supported an outside competitor!
Xiong Ju’s dissatisfaction was apparent, but did the other four leaders have no complaints?
Of course, they did.
They just refrained from showing their real feelings due to Teng Donglang.
Thankfully, there was Teng Donglang.
He publicly rectified the mistakes of the Spring Boxer.
The precious three pills were given to Xiong Ju.
Xiong Ju’s dissatisfaction disappeared.
The Spring Boxer also learned his lesson and recognized his own errors.
The rest of the leaders further recognized Teng Donglang. The way he handled the situation convinced them.
The loss of the Spring Boxer greatly offset their dissatisfaction with him.
The entire high echelon of the Saber Gang, due to Teng Donglang’s actions, resolved the hidden discord within.
They reunited around Teng Donglang as the central figure!
Finally, Teng Donglang looked at Xiong Ju, “Now, how confident are you about tomorrow’s battle?”
Xiong Ju packed away the equipment and potions, laughed heartily, stood up, and patted his chest, guaranteeing, “Long Fu’s defense is terribly strong, but my steel saw has never been troubled by such an opponent. With these treasures I’ve gained, I don’t believe he, being of the same Silver Level, can be stronger than me! In this battle, victory is mine!”
