I knew that once a Qi Core completely gets out of control, one has a high chance of becoming a cripple. Being a cripple ant losing all your cultivation without the hope of ever regaining it back again. On simple terms, if you have a job as an office worker and you get fired, you're a cripple, in the sense that you lost sothing without ever regaining that sa thing back again.
Of course, I don't know what would happen if one of my Qi Core gets destroyed while I tried to stabilize the other one. But hey! It's better than losing both with losing your life as an added bonus.
And with all these on the line, I decided to make it a notch harder by gathering the surrounding Qi in the area. To put it in layman's terms, cultivation is the glass and qi is the water. The better your glass, the better command you have with that water. But what if your cup is already overflowing and you still decided to put more water on it?
That's pretty much what I'm doing when I began gathering the surrounding Qi. Of course, it will further improve the quality of my glass but if my cultivation can't keep up, then the glass wouldn't be able to take it and it would break. However, regardless of what I do, both of my Qi Cores are at breaking point, so doing sothing this stupid won't really add to the risk.
If I succeed here, then there's a huge chance I'll be able to stabilize my Qi Core as well before it's too late. But if I fail, well, back to being a rabid human we go.
No, I must not fail here! I am the esteed Sect Master of the most powerful sect in the world! I am Tang Yongrui of the Tang Sect! I can't die here, not when my disciples are eagerly waiting for !
"You have to stop this now, Tang Yongrui! Your body won't be able to take it!" The System advised, but I decided to ignore her.
'Just do your job reducing the pain, I'll do the rest.' I thought to myself since I'm sure the System could read my mind.
Is it just or did the System just nod in response?
I'm becoming crazy, that's what.
Now, when it cos to risky cultivations like this, we have what we call the bottleneck. Just like when a cultivator couldn't break through the next realm for a long ti, risky cultivations like this are more likely to get a bottleneck as well. This is like the unpassable wall on your journey. The only way to a breakthrough was nothing short of a miracle...
... and luck, lots and lots of luck.
Now, as a Sect Master who has experienced countless risky cultivations like this, I know that having the confidence of breaking through the cultivation is a must. If one wouldn't believe in himself, then he'd have already lost the battle. I live by those ideals.
And those ideals are put to the test right now.
Gradually, my Virus Qi Core was getting bigger and bigger with no point of stopping. It took all of my being just to make sure it won't explode and make my body explode with it. As for my original Qi Core, it was far beyond saving. The System was just giving all the pain reliever it could give so I won't experience more pain than I'm experiencing now.
If it weren't for the System, I would have died of pain by now.
Tip. tap.
Tip. tap.
"Young man, just hang in there." I heard soone whisper on my ear as my body was dragged towards sowhere. I still don't know who our savior was but apparently, he didn't leave behind although I was bitten in several places.
If you ask how I know about this, sohow, I could still feel my body. WHICH IS A GOOD THING! That ans the stabilization of my Virus Qi Core is working and I'm slowly taking control of my mind.
"Will he be all right?" I heard a girl's voice worriedly asked as she caressed my hair. For so reason, warm water was dripping on my face. I don't know if it was the girl's tears, snot, or saliva, but all I could say is that it was warm... and gross! Totally gross!
But who am I to complain, I can't even move my body at the mont.
"Do you have any healing herbs or dicine in hand, sir?" If I were to guess, I think it was Liu Zhi who was speaking now.
"No, I don't. And we can't touch him either. From the looks of it, his body is trying to fight the virus. Tampering with his healing or progress might impede his overcoming. He must overco this trial alone. All that we could do is believe that he will make it through." An unfamiliar guy spoke, for so reason... his voice is so familiar.
"He's right, Liu Zhi. If we gave him the wrong herb or the slightly wrong dicine, it might endanger his life even more. Right now, we have to wait. Just as he saved Wu Yan, I hope he could do the sa to himself." This ti, it was Blade who spoke.
But seriously? Wouldn't you at least attempt to help ? I saved your life, you know. Even a simple pain reliever is enough! Argh, not being able to talk is so frustrating.
"Do you have anything to say to him? There's a possibility that he can hear us right now." The unfamiliar yet familiar man spoke again.
Great! Let guess what cos next... my burial? Am I right?
Sigh.
Clasp!
Suddenly, sothing warm clasped my hand. Although I couldn't feel it, I could sense that it was a girl. Is it Wu Yan? Well, she's the only girl in the group.
"Yong Rui, thank you... thank you so much for saving ." Wu Yan tearfully muttered as she clasped my hand even tighter, pushing it on her chest. "If it weren't for you... "
Ahh... I can die in peace now...
Wait, not yet! Isn't this my chance?! A girl's finally fallen for ! No, let's not jump to conclusions here. Right now, we have to stabilize our Virus Qi Core... stabilize.... stabilize...
"Wait, did you just call him Yong Rui?!" The unfamiliar yet familiar voice asked. His exclamation reminded of one person...
Luo Zehn?!
