Song Ankang was surprised when he heard the townspeople's discussion. He finally realized that Jiang Yunhe was an expert at the fourth minor realm of the Internal Realm. He was already at the peak of second-rate martial artists. He was only one step away from reaching the Earth Gate Realm and becoming a first-rate martial artist.
It was no wonder he could beat this female ghost up like a grandson. Looking at the lilac girl who was no longer human, Song Ankang finally felt relieved.
It was too dangerous just now. He was almost killed by this female ghost. He thought that it would be safer to stay in Tongxin Town in broad daylight. He didn't expect it to be so dangerous with so many people around.
It seemed that he would have to train hard in the future and raise his strength as soon as possible. Only then would he be able to preserve his life. Otherwise, who knew when he would encounter such a sudden danger again.
The Mystic Desolate Great World was really a world that was extremely unfriendly to humans. There were mermen, angels, and others eyeing it covetously from the outside. There were demons and monsters wreaking havoc inside. When would they be able to enjoy peace?
"Pfft…"
At this moment, Jiang Yunhe punched Lilac Girl to death, leaving behind a pile of ghost dust. Jiang Yunhe put it away and walked towards Song Ankang.
However, Jiang Yunhe looked at Song Ankang with a strange look in his eyes. There was surprise, shock, and confusion. "Young master, did you really only reach the Flesh Realm with the help of your previous enlightenment?"
"Didn't Instructor Jiang confirm that he was only in the Flesh Training Realm?" Song Ankang's heart skipped a beat as he replied calmly.
"Unbelievable!" Jiang Yunhe was shocked when he heard Song Ankang's words. "Does Young Master know how strong that female ghost is? She's already equivalent to a martial artist in the first minor realm of Internal Realm. However, with the power of the illusion, even an ordinary martial artist in the fourth minor realm of Internal Realm can't do anything to her, let alone a martial artist in the second level of External Realm."
"To be able to escape the female ghost's illusion under such circumstances and even seriously injure her, the young master's combat ability is truly extraordinary. His mental willpower is also far superior to ordinary people."
"Eh…" Song Ankang was stunned. He finally realized how powerful that female ghost was. She could even kill a martial artist at the fourth level of the Internal Realm. If that was the case, he was really lucky to be able to survive.
Song Ankang, who thought that he was still a weakling after cultivating for a few days, finally had some confidence. He once again realized how terrifying the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual was.
After some thought, Song Ankang explained with a bitter smile, "Instructor Jiang, you're flattering me. Actually, I wasn't able to break free from the female ghost's illusion with my own strength. It was because the female ghost revealed a huge flaw that allowed me to break free from the illusion in a short period of time."
Song Ankang explained the situation to Jiang Yunhe and Qiu Shi, leaving them speechless.
"I didn't expect that even the female ghost… even the female ghost was captivated by Young Master!" Jiang Yunhe had a strange expression on his face, and the doubts in his heart dissipated.
Qiu Shi snorted. "I didn't expect that even a female ghost would covet my husband. How shameless."
The surrounding shop owners looked at Song Ankang's handsome face and marveled.
"It can only be said that the great filial son of the Song family is a celestial being. That's why he was able to charm the female ghost to turn misfortune into fortune. It seems like the female ghost isn't blind."
"Not only does the great filial son Song have a good character, even his appearance is top notch. It is truly our honor to be able to meet him."
"Most filial son of the Song Dynasty, have you eaten? Why don't you let me be the host for lunch? We'll go to the best restaurant in town to drink."
Due to the fact that he had yet to recover from his injuries and was still waiting to absorb the side effects, Song Ankang rejected the enthusiastic bosses. He took the carriage provided by the cloth shop owner and quickly returned to Chaoyun Manor, which was a few kilometers away.
As soon as he returned to the manor, Song Ankang used the excuse of wanting to rest and sent Qiu Shi and Jiang Yunhe to the training room to wait for the side effects.
"The Fate-Defying Heaven Manual has accumulated enough energy and is beginning to play a role… Your wounds are being healed, your blood vitality is increasing, your skin is strengthening!"
Soon, warm currents surged over and healed Song Ankang's injuries at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, they increased Song Ankang's tendons at an even faster speed.
Song Ankang could clearly feel that his every tendon was becoming more and more flexible and sturdy. When he finished absorbing the side effects, Song Ankang couldn't help but strike.
It was easy and unstoppable, and the force became even fiercer.
Then there was the one-horned horse, touching the belly button, jumping in the air… All of these were not a problem. This was a sign that his muscles had been trained to a certain extent. With Song Ankang's current skills, he could easily fight against ten people.
With just a wave of his hand, he should already have nearly a thousand jin of strength. If he was on Earth, he would be a little superhuman.
Moreover, unlike other martial artists who cultivated the Seven Wound Demon Sutra, Song Ankang's Seven Wound Vitality Blood Qi was thick and solid. It was also flawless in the training of his skin, muscles, and tendons. His foundation was extremely solid and his future was bound to be limitless. There were no side effects that the Seven Wound Demon Sutra should have.
With the help of the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra, Song Ankang's willpower had also reached a level that far exceeded that of an ordinary person. It had a huge effect on Song Ankang's subsequent resistance to demons and ghosts.
The near-death experience in Tongxin Town made Song Ankang deeply understand the benefits of having a strong willpower. It was something that could save lives. In the future, Song Ankang would pay more attention to it during his cultivation.
For the next few days, Song Ankang obediently stayed in his courtyard and continued to cultivate diligently, completely unaware of the passage of time.
With the help of the large amount of medicinal herbs he had just obtained from the storeroom, Song Ankang spent most of his time practicing the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra during the day. At night, he would use his fighting technique many times, bringing out the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual that could transform side effects to its maximum potential. His strength would increase at an unimaginable speed.
This speed was not something that martial artists who cultivated orthodox cultivation methods could catch up to. Even those martial artists who cultivated unorthodox cultivation techniques could not catch up. It was simply a bug-like existence.
Song Ankang was essentially consuming medicinal pills without side effects every day. He was constantly improving, and he quickly reached the peak of Tendon Realm.
At this moment, Song Ankang's flexibility had far surpassed that of the Olympic gymnastics champion on Earth. He was able to perform all kinds of difficult moves with ease.
If Song Ankang were to return to Earth now, he would be able to become the champion of the men's gymnastics world and become the top gymnast.
Of course, the tempering of his tendons also increased Song Ankang's strength, speed, and reflexes by a lot. Every move he made was ferocious and powerful, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Cultivating a top demonic technique like the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra allowed a martial artist to possess combat strength that far surpassed their peers. It was also very easy to cross realms to fight against enemies.
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist who had cultivated the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra to the pinnacle of the Tendon Realm would be able to defeat a fourth minor realm External Realm martial artist, let alone Song Ankang, who had absorbed the side effects. Let alone the External Realm stage, even if he encountered some weak Internal Realm martial artists, Song Ankang would still be able to put up a fight.
That night, Song Ankang performed four consecutive punches to break through the bottleneck of the Bone Forging realm!
