Chapter 89 Water-Bound Yuan Dan, Making its Grand Debut

[Before you stepped out of the woods, you gave your "good son" in your hands a thorough working over.]

[You looked at the despairing, limp Tall and Thin Martial Artist in your hands with cold eyes.]

["Snap."]

[You casually released the Pulse-Severing Seal on him, allowing him to regain his mobility.]

[Before he could even react, you suddenly grabbed his lower jaw, forcing his mouth open.]

["Eat it."]

[A marble-sized sphere emitting a faint blue light condensed at your fingertip.]

[You shoved it into his mouth without a word.]

["Gulp."]

[The Tall and Thin Martial Artist swallowed instinctively, feeling a cold foreign object slide down his esophagus and into his stomach.]

[Finally, it weirdly burrowed into his Dantian in his abdomen and settled there.]

[This was a "Water-Binding Origin Pill."]

[This was a small trick you realized while studying the "Heavenly Sea Vast Waves Body Spirit Seed Origin Art."]

[The book originally recorded a technique called "Origin Exploding Technique."]

[It involved highly compressing Origin Qi through special Meridian movements and then detonating it instantly to produce several times the destructive power.]

[Combining it with the characteristics of your "Profound Water Spirit Body," you made some modifications to this method.]

[You used the inclusiveness and flexibility of Profound Water Power as a shell to encase the violent compressed Origin Qi inside.]

[In this way, the "bomb" that could only be detonated instantly became a "time bomb" that could lie dormant for a long time.]

[You once experimented on a few "Long-Eared Rabbits" at school, and the results were excellent.]

[As long as it was within the range of your Divine Thought, you could detonate it with a single thought.]

[Even if it exceeded the range, the Profound Water shell would gradually wear away over time.]

[If you didn't personally inject new Profound Water Power to reinforce the Seal every half a month, the compressed Origin Qi inside would go out of control.]

["Boom!"]

[The power was enough to blow a Qi and Blood Martial Artist's abdomen to pieces.]

[This was a method you developed specifically to control pawns.]

[Looking at the terrified Tall and Thin Martial Artist, you directly used Divine Thought Transmission, and your voice exploded in his mind.]

["Good son, Daddy left a little gift in your body."]

["Be a good boy and listen."]

["To prevent it from exploding, I'll have to give you an inspection every half a month and recharge it while I'm at it."]

["Do you understand?"]

[The Tall and Thin Martial Artist Zhao Li's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat poured down like rain.]

[He was a Martial Artist of the Qi and Blood Seventh Stage and could clearly sense the "foreign object" emitting terrifying fluctuations inside him.]

[That thing was like a venomous snake coiled around his heart, ready to take his life at any moment.]

["You... you..."]

[He wanted to curse, he wanted to struggle desperately, but when he looked up at your emotionless eyes...]

[All his courage vanished in an instant.]

[Just then.]

[Boom!]

[You no longer restrained your aura, and the Origin Opening Realm pressure you had been suppressing was released without reservation in this small space.]

[That suppression belonging to a higher level of life made Zhao Li feel as if he were being stared down by an ancient giant beast.]

[Even his Soul was trembling.]

[You thought that by using the "Water-Binding Origin Pill" and talking to him with Divine Thought...]

[He should have been able to figure out that you were a Origin Opening Realm Martial Artist.]

[But you didn't expect this guy hadn't noticed at all.]

[So you had to be a bit more simple and crude.]

["Kai... Origin Opening Realm?!"]

[Zhao Li looked at the Origin Qi fluctuations on your body.]

[The last spark of resistance in his heart was completely extinguished.]

[Only now did he realize you had been using Divine Thought to speak to him.]

[Zhao Li was filled with regret; he hadn't kicked a steel plate, he had kicked a titanium alloy steel plate!]

["Whew..."]

[In that instant, Zhao Li seemed to have an epiphany, and the fear on his face quickly retracted.]

[He squeezed out a fawning smile that looked worse than crying.]

["Father!"]

[He had no psychological burden and knelt down smoothly, kowtowing like a woodpecker.]

["I, Zhao Li, am your adopted son from now on! If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west; if you tell me to catch a dog, I'll never chase a chicken!"]

["I will follow you faithfully, work like an ox, and die ten thousand deaths without hesitation!"]

[Seeing you nod, Zhao Li's eyes darted around, and he immediately tried to push his luck, asking tentatively:]

["Um... Father, since I've shown such loyalty..."]

["Then this little gift in my belly... can it be taken out?"]

["Hmm?"]

[Your brow furrowed slightly as you gave him a cold sweep with your eyes.]

[Zhao Li shuddered and immediately understood there was no room for negotiation.]

["Ahem! I meant... thank you for the gift, Godfather! Thank you for the reward! It is my honor!"]

["Get up."]

[You nodded with satisfaction.]

["Follow me."]

[Having done all this, you straightened your clothes, no longer restrained your aura, and led Zhao Li out of the woods.]

[At this time, on the white jade platform ahead, Chen Chen was giving a passionate speech.]

[Attempting to harvest these Martial Artists in the name of the "Mutual Aid Society."]

["Clap! Clap! Clap!"]

[Crisp applause rang out abruptly, interrupting Chen Chen's words.]

["Well said! Well said!"]

[While clapping, you strode toward the center of the crowd, your voice booming.]

["Chairman Chen, your proposal is excellent and very much to my liking."]

["How about this—you be the chairman of this Mutual Aid Society and lead the 'Wild Hunters' brothers."]

["I'll be a vice-chairman and lead the rest of the brothers."]

["What do you think?"]

[As you approached, the powerful aura of the Origin Opening Realm swept through the area like a tsunami.]

[The surrounding Martial Artists' expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively backed away, clearing a path for you.]

["Another Origin Opening Realm?!"]

["Who is this? So young!"]

[Chen Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.]

[Looking at your excessively young face, waves of shock surged in his heart.]

[In this place cut off from Origin Qi, every bit of Origin Qi was incredibly precious.]

[Yet the young man before him was releasing his pressure so wantonly.]

["Is he a core disciple of some top-tier family? Or a student of Twin Stars?"]

[Chen Chen was wary, but a hearty smile quickly appeared on his face as he strode forward to meet you.]

["Hahaha! This little brother's suggestion is not bad!"]

["With two Origin Opening Realm experts presiding over the Mutual Aid Society, everyone's interests will be better protected! This is a good thing!"]

[He walked up to you, sizing you up with a fake smile, his eyes dark.]

["However, to put everyone at ease, we should still cross paths and show each other what we've got."]

["Don't you agree, little brother?"]

["Also, I forgot to ask earlier, may I know your great name? Where do you come from?"]

["Of course."]

[You looked composed and smiled faintly.]

["I have to show a few moves, otherwise how can everyone trust me?"]

["As for my name... I am Grandmaster Xu Liang."]

["I used to work for the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, just making a living."]
