Chapter 48 Dog? Fire Qilin?
He thought he had the strength of nearly 5,000 jin and the strength of a giant arm.
It's not that they can't even break a chain.
Grip the chains with both hands, stand firmly on your feet, and activate all the strength-related attributes simultaneously.
The muscles in his arms tensed up suddenly, and the veins bulged.
"Um... um..."
A few breaths later.
Lu Yuan released his grip.
The iron chain in front of them remained completely still, without even a tremor.
He tried again from a different angle.
It remained completely still.
The iron chain and the iron tree are made of the same material, and with his current cultivation level, he cannot budge them in the slightest.
"Damn! What is this thing? How is it so sturdy?!"
Lu Yuan cursed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He took a few breaths and squatted down helplessly.
He gently stroked the puppy's head with his right hand.
It's not that I don't want to save you.
Lu Yuan shook the iron chain.
"Look how sturdy it is... I really can't do anything about it now, please don't blame me!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the dog raised its eyes and gave him a strange look.
Then she lowered her head and bit down on the web of his right hand.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
The intense pain in my hand was so severe that even the term "pain immunity" couldn't overshadow it.
Lu Yuan instinctively tried to pull his hand away.
I found that I couldn't extract it.
This little thing, which isn't even as tall as his knee, has an absurdly strong bite.
The teeth, like two rows of nails, were firmly embedded in his flesh.
"Damn it! I went to all this trouble to save you out of kindness, and you bite me!"
He cursed through gritted teeth.
He grabbed his bitten right wrist with his left hand and tried to pull it out, but found a strange suction force coming from the dog's mouth.
"You bastard, you're sucking my blood!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan could truly feel his blood flowing continuously from the wound into the mouth of that "dog".
This was followed by severe dizziness.
The exhaustion from the loss of vital energy, combined with the physical exhaustion from resisting the vortex, caused his consciousness to be dragged down little by little.
"...You little bastard."
Lu Yuan uttered his last curse before his vision went black and he collapsed onto the stone slab beneath the iron tree.
In a daze, he seemed to see the puppy in front of him transform into the fiery red Qilin.
She was looking him up and down with a strange expression.
......
After a long while, he woke up again.
Lu Yuan discovered that the puppy had somehow broken free of its chain.
The chain that he couldn't budge even an inch with all his might was now lying scattered on the ground, its broken ends jagged.
It looked like it had been melted from the inside by something.
The puppy was lying next to Lu Yuan's arm, licking the wound on his hand with its tongue.
The two rows of teeth marks were still slightly bleeding, but it no longer hurt.
Lu Yuan raised his hand, looked down at the teeth marks on his hand, and then looked at the broken chain.
Then he gently placed his hand back on the puppy's head.
The puppy is very quiet.
She looked up and stared at him with wide eyes.
Then she nuzzled her head into his palm.
The movement was very gentle, as if afraid of hurting him.
A low whimper escaped from deep within his throat, his voice trembling.
Looking at its pitiful appearance, Lu Yuan's anger from being bitten had long since dissipated.
The anger from being sucked blood earlier had completely dissipated.
He picked up the puppy and held it in his arms.
It was small and nestled close to Lu Yuan.
The few tufts of red fur on its back brushed against his wrist; the texture wasn't like dog fur, but rather like some kind of extremely fine velvet.
He looked down at the little thing in his arms that had bitten him and sucked his blood, but was now lying quietly.
I felt like something connected me to it.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but we just can't separate them.
"Alright."
He stuck out a finger and poked the puppy's ear.
"That iron chain has bound you for who knows how many years. I can't break it, and you can't break it yourself either."
Of all things to do, I came here, and you bit me, breaking the chain. Our fate isn't shallow—once we get out, you'll come with me.
The puppy let out a soft gurgling sound from its throat, as if in response.
"I need to give you a name."
Lu Yuan held the puppy up to his eyes and looked it over.
It had a round head, drooping ears, and its red mane gleamed in the dim light.
He thought for a moment.
"You looked so aggrieved when you were yelling just now, but now you're quite cheerful."
I'll call you Lele then.
I hope you will never be locked up in such a dark and hopeless place again, and that you can be happy every day.
The puppy's ears twitched when it heard the name.
Its tail began to sway from side to side, the swaying becoming more and more pronounced until the entire tail was flicked into a blur.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
With its tail wagging like that, it seems quite happy.
Just then.
The bite mark on my hand that had just healed suddenly became scalding hot.
It was scalding hot, like it was burning.
The edges of the two rows of teeth marks glowed with a dark red light.
The burning sensation entered the meridians from the tiger's mouth.
It rushes upwards along the forearm, past the elbow, past the shoulder, and all the way into the dantian.
Wherever it passed, the internal energy seemed to have changed its texture.
What was once flowing water has now become ignited oil.
My whole body felt hot from the inside out, and fine beads of sweat rolled down my skin, turning into wisps of white steam before they could even drip off.
Seeing Lu Yuan's strange appearance,
Lele jumped down from his arms, retreated a few steps, and huddled in the corner of the stone wall, its tail no longer wagging.
He looked at Lu Yuan warily.
Before Lu Yuan could figure out what had happened, the fiery internal energy in his dantian surged forth like a flood.
If I don't let it out, my whole body feels like it's on fire.
He instinctively raised his hand and swung out a palm strike.
Rock-Smashing Palm!
The palm strike hit the stone wall, sending up fragments of stone.
A charred handprint was instantly branded onto the surface of the stone wall.
Lu Yuan did not stop.
The second and third palm strikes were delivered in quick succession.
Each palm strike was smoother than the last.
Each strike left a scorch mark.
The progress bar for the Rock-Smashing Palm technique in my mind started jumping wildly.
Martial Arts Progress:
Rock Smash: Mastery (2105/5000)
...
Martial Arts Progress:
Rock Smash: Mastery (2205/5000)
...
Martial Arts Progress:
Rock Smash: Perfect (5405/10000)
...
Martial Arts Progress:
Rock Smash: Perfect (5605/10000)
...
It doesn't rise little by little, it jumps up segment by segment.
Each strike demonstrates a level of proficiency approaching several hundred.
At that moment, he didn't care at all how many slaps he had given.
The internal force surged continuously from the dantian, and the palm strikes became increasingly dense.
The scorch marks on the stone wall merged into a continuous pattern, and the air in the entire cave was slightly distorted by the steam.
Lele huddled behind a stone ridge in the corner, only half of her head showing.
They pricked up their ears and watched as Lu Yuan turned a perfectly good stone wall into something that looked like it had been scorched by fire.
I don't know how much time passed.
The fiery internal energy within Lu Yuan's body was finally exhausted.
He stopped, panting.
With his hands supporting his knees, sweat dripped from his chin onto the stone slab.
"Damn! ...I'm exhausted!"
At that moment, a familiar notification sound rang in Lu Yuan's mind.
Martial Arts Progress:
Rock-Shattering Palm: Transcendent Realm (Cannot be upgraded)
In a daze, the Rock-Shattering Palm technique actually reached a new level.
He casually raised his hand and struck, but the force of his palm did not hit the stone wall.
Even from a distance of ten feet, the damp moss on the stone wall instantly turned yellow and curled up, emitting a wisp of faint blue smoke.
"Damn! That's strong!"
