Chapter 72

Subconsciously touching his lips, Qin Peng felt a bit lost. The beauty by his side had already vanished, and if it weren't for the fragrance left on his lips and the scythe in his hand, Qin Peng would almost have doubted that he had just been dreaming.

"Lin Qingyu really came, and she even kissed me!"

Qin Peng couldn't help but smile, suddenly wondering if he had just lost his first kiss.

However, giving his first kiss to a beauty like Lin Qingyu was worth it.

"I still have three days. If I practice well during these three days, it's not impossible to further enhance my strength!" Qin Peng muttered to himself.

At the stage of inner strength, it's no longer about increasing combat power through physical training. Instead, it's more about accumulating inner strength to enhance combat power. During this process, inner strength can be used to stimulate acupoints, thereby strengthening the body. In other words, it's about making the inner strength circulate along the meridians to strengthen the physical body.

At the same time, while the inner strength circulates, it also extracts and concentrates the power from the blood and qi, continuously reinforcing the inner strength.

This is a virtuous cycle.

For ordinary people, opening the meridians and making the inner strength circulate autonomously is a long process. However, for Qin Peng, it's not a problem. When he obtained Yun Duankong's essence, his meridians were already open. Breaking through to inner strength, and due to his massive accumulation, his combat power soared to 28 points, and his inner strength began to circulate autonomously. Now, his inner strength accumulation is far more terrifying than that of ordinary people.

"However, should I really cultivate according to Yun Duankong's internal cultivation method?"

Qin Peng pondered in his heart. There's no denying that Yun Duankong's internal cultivation method can reach the pinnacle, but this isn't what Qin Peng needs. His situation is different from ordinary people; he has immortal cells and a vast amount of essence. Does he need to cultivate step by step?

At this moment, Qin Peng couldn't help but think of Lin Qingyu.

What did she do, having the same immortal cells?

After a brief thought, Qin Peng decided not to think about Lin Qingyu anymore. She had already clearly told him that she wouldn't help him, and everything had to be done on his own.

With this in mind, Qin Peng made up his mind to follow his own path. He has immortal cells, and these cells themselves are a repository of knowledge. As Qin Peng witnessed Lin Qingyu's transformation, the memory in the immortal cells was also unlocked to some extent.

Qin Peng understood many things.

For example, the human body's meridians are incredibly complex, and the acupoints are endless. Even with today's human technology, it's impossible to determine the function of every acupoint or to map all the meridians. However, the memory in the immortal cells has all this information.

The immortals have a complete understanding of the human body's meridians.

Qin Peng cannot cultivate step by step according to Yun Duankong's method; otherwise, it would be easy for others to predict his path. Just like Lin Qingyu, who could see through his methods at a glance. He isn't strong enough yet, so he must change his current state.

With his eyes closed, Qin Peng silently recalled the memory in the immortal cells, carefully judging his cultivation method.

Time passed minute by minute.

Qin Peng sat in his room, calmly analyzing how he should cultivate, constantly calculating, analyzing, and judging. He was immersed in the joy of exploration.

One day, two days, three days.

The news of Qin Peng's life-or-death duel with Wang Zhan spread throughout the base in the shortest time possible.

The base didn't stop the duel; after all, the lives of these students meant nothing to them. During these three days, the human organization launched a large-scale campaign against the rebels on Lansha Star.

Originally, the rebels on Lansha Star were like meat on a chopping board for the students to practice on. Now, without the Anti-Human Alliance, with the current human technology, Lansha Star can't resist and is only a target for slaughter.

These three days were enough for the human army to achieve a significant victory.

After three days!

Qin Peng finally left his room. Su Shiyue and a few other students from Yingcai Academy looked at Qin Peng with some concern. However, when they saw Qin Peng, everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling that his aura had changed significantly.

His height had increased slightly, and his muscles had become more tightly packed, exuding a terrifying explosive power.

In these three days, Qin Peng's combat power had slightly increased to 29 points.

"Qin Peng?" Su Shiyue called out, looking at Qin Peng with a feeling she couldn't describe.

Qin Peng smiled and said slowly, "Alright, let's go!"

Su Shiyue nodded lightly and didn't speak. The six of them headed directly to the arena.

"By the way!" Qin Peng asked while walking, "Has Wang's team already left?"

"Uh! Why do you ask?" Su Shiyue looked at Qin Peng with some caution. She still felt the threat from Lin Qingyu. If Lin Qingyu were to compete with her for Qin Peng, Su Shiyue was 100% sure that Qin Peng would be taken away.

Qin Peng just smiled lightly and said slowly, "Nothing, Wang's team saved my life, and I wanted to thank them."

While saying this, Qin Peng felt a bit regretful. It seemed he wouldn't see Lin Qingyu for a while.

Thinking of this, Qin Peng couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Su Shiyue watched Qin Peng, feeling a strange taste in her heart. Although Qin Peng said he had nothing to do with Lin Qingyu, as a woman's intuition, she truly felt the threat from Lin Qingyu.

Perhaps, things weren't as simple as she thought.

At this moment, the six of them had already arrived at the arena.

When Qin Peng arrived, Wang Zhan had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qin Peng, Wang Zhan's pupils couldn't help but constrict slightly.

"Combat power has increased a bit?"

In an instant, Wang Zhan's killing intent surged. He knew he had to eliminate Qin Peng as soon as possible and couldn't give him any room to grow. Once this guy grows up, he will pose a significant threat to the Wang family.

The two stood on opposite sides of the arena!

There were also many students and soldiers watching around. Wang Zhan looked at Qin Peng and slowly took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, putting them on his fists. These were black gloves with various patterns, similar to runes.

Qin Peng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could this be a rune weapon?"

"Qin Peng!" Wang Zhan looked at Qin Peng and said with a cold smile, "You're still here. Your strength has increased quite a bit, I see!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to die, I'll naturally help you!" As he spoke, Qin Peng suddenly gripped his light sword, and a golden light shot out with a whoosh.

Wang Zhan suddenly grinned, "You'll regret it, because you shouldn't have chosen to fight me!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhan suddenly punched directly at Qin Peng. The moment the punch was thrown, Qin Peng clearly felt a terrifying force rushing towards him. An invisible gale instantly sealed off all of Qin Peng's escape routes.

A visible force rushed towards his body, tearing through the air.

"Qin Peng, be careful! This is true qi. His gloves are a rune weapon, quickly dodge!" Su Shiyue, seeing this, urgently shouted to Qin Peng.

Without Su Shiyue's warning, Qin Peng already knew it was a rune weapon.

Damn, he had underestimated Wang Zhan. To kill him, Wang Zhan was willing to use such a despicable method, even using a rune weapon.

"Ou Chi!" Qin Peng roared in his heart, raising his light sword crazily and slashing down.

Whoosh!

The golden light sword was instantly enveloped in a black mist, exuding a deathly aura.

The sword struck the incoming punch with a fierce force.

Boom!

Qin Peng's whole body shook, and he stumbled back three or four steps, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Close call!

Qin Peng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, he had tamed Ou Chi these past few days and had learned to use some of Ou Chi's power. He stimulated his inner strength to the death spirit pearl formed by Ou Chi in his body, then, through Ou Chi's guidance, controlled the death spirit pearl to release Ou Chi's power.

Although this released death force wasn't very powerful, it contained an extremely terrifying killing power. For people of the same level, being hit by it was almost certain death. The death aura sweeping through the body, if not for breaking through to the True Dao, there would be no way to resist it.

Panting heavily, Qin Peng could judge that the gloves in Wang Zhan's hand were likely a defective product, probably capable of storing and releasing true qi, but not a true rune weapon, only a form of rune application.

Looking at Wang Zhan, Qin Peng's smile became even colder, "Wang Zhan, you deserve to die!"
