Chapter 418: Chapter 349: Rune (2)
The mortality rate for staying outside was too high; it was all too easy to end up as dung for those Wild Beasts.
Thinking this, Lu Shan looked over at Hu Qi.
But since he had told her not to disturb him, she hesitated to speak.
Hu Qi paid Lu Shan no mind.
He had already stood up and moved to one side, planting his feet firmly.
He then assumed a special Pile Skill posture.
His feet were shoulder-width apart, turned slightly inward as if rooted to the earth.
His knees were bent at an angle of about 130 degrees, like an ape crouching on a branch, ready to spring into action.
His spine stretched upward, arms hanging naturally with his fingertips lightly touching the outside of his thighs.
He then slowly raised his arms to his chest, palms facing each other, as if holding a sphere or like a spiritual ape guarding its fruit.
At the same time, he began to breathe rhythmically.
When he inhaled, his abdomen contracted, his diaphragm rose, and his chest expanded.
When he exhaled, his abdomen pushed outward, his diaphragm lowered, and he slowly released his breath.
He imagined the Dirt Energy being expelled from his body with each exhalation.
With each breath, a wave of heat seemed to rise from his skin, which began to turn red.
At the same time.
His gaze fell upon a semi-transparent Crimson panel that only he could see.
[Host: Hu Qi (Lin Yi)]
[Status: Normal]
[Age: 20]
[Talents: Spirit Devouring, Twisted Light (Heaven and Earth), Primordial Eye (Crimson Sun Flame Prison)]
[Skill: Spiritual Ape Posture (Entry-Level) △]
...
[Modification Points: 73658 (7%)]
Lin Yi was the name of this body.
In the Talents section, only the Spirit Devouring Talent was currently lit up; the other two were dim.
With his experience from the last world, Hu Qi naturally understood what was happening.
’The Talents haven’t disappeared. This body is just too weak to use them.’
’Once I get stronger, they’ll light up and unlock one by one.’
Other than that, the number of Modification Points had decreased.
’This is because my main body had to burn some Spirit Seeds to break through this world’s seal and make repairs. If I hadn’t killed those Transcendents with that palm strike and replenished some of what I’d used, the number of Modification Points would be even lower. Then, healing the damage this body sustained from using the Damaged Black Banner also consumed some points. But for now, these Modification Points are enough.’
His gaze fell upon the only Skill listed.
’Of course, I chose this Spiritual Ape Posture after analyzing this body’s potential. A normal Secret Martial Artist, even a genius, would need several days to adapt before they could reach the Entry-Level.’
But that did not include Hu Qi.
Even though this was just a sliver of his true essence, it was still at the Apostle Level. And since he had absorbed two Spirit Seeds in the previous world, his foundation was even stronger than before.
Even as just a sliver of his essence, the power it contained was extraordinary.
His control over every aspect of his body was meticulous enough to be considered Entering the Micro. Therefore, besides the time spent analyzing the Pile Skill, it had taken him less than half an hour to successfully bring this Pile Skill to the Entry-Level.
’Crimson! Upgrade the Spiritual Ape Posture to Perfection!’
The moment he gave the command,
fifteen Modification Points vanished instantly.
At the same time,
the warm current in his body violently intensified, swelling from the width of a hair to the thickness of a thumb.
It finally twisted and converged in his chest, forming a giant sphere of blood.
[Spiritual Ape Posture: (Ninth Layer)]

[Modification Points: 73643 (7%)]
Wisps of mist steamed from the surface of Hu Qi’s body as his physique grew leaner.
A profound sense of power welled up inside him.
At the same time,
an immense hunger materialized out of thin air.
Clearly, raising the Pile Skill to Perfection all at once had taken a massive toll on this body.
If he couldn’t replenish its energy in time, the body would be completely wrung dry.
Hu Qi had already anticipated this.
He used another ten Modification Points to restore his body’s state.
Instantly,
the hunger pangs inside him subsided.
His body, which had grown lean from the drain on its Qi and Blood, filled out slightly.
—HUUUH!
Hu Qi let out a long breath.
His eyes opened slightly, a flash of surprise in their depths.
’Hm? It seems I can’t open the Essence Element Divine Treasure in this world.’
