Chapter 274: Teng Dong Lang’s Pills
Faced with Xiong Ju’s refusal, the dwarf ringleader shook his head, “The Small Thunder God Hammer is very easy to use, you just need to throw it in advance, then with you as its center, it can hit any enemy within its circle of effect.”
“You can treat it as a quasi-gold level heavy flying dart.”
“I can help you train with it later, and coach you in its usages. It will take about a half hour for you to be completely proficient with its usage.”
“When the time comes, you can use your spirit to guide the hammer and force a truly close bond and coordination with it.”
Xiong Ju nodded, “In that case, it’s pretty good.”
The demon hybrid ringleader exclaimed in admiration, “You both took out such good things, it seems I too need to fish out my own thing.”
He suddenly turned his head upwards, took a deep breath, and then something came from his stomach, up his rolling throat, and then a damp eyeball spat out of his mouth.
The eyeball was as large as a fist; it was full of blood wisps and also had fine fleshy feelers.
“An Evil Eye?!” When everyone saw that eyeball, they were equally disturbed.
The eyeball fell onto the long table, and after bouncing twice, it extended its fleshy feelers and “stood up”.
Soon after, under the demon hybrid’s spiritual control, the eyeball used its fleshy feelers as legs to walk over to Xiong Ju.
Xiong Ju looked at the saliva doused eyeball, obviously detesting it.
The demon hybrid ringleader giggled maliciously, “Xiong Ju, you need to swallow it, it can grow in and fuse into anywhere in your body, as if it was a natural organ.”
“Besides giving you an expanded field of view, the most important thing it can do is shoot three spiritual rays in a short timeframe.”
“Barring any special defensive skills, it can even take down a gold level target. As long as one’s spiritual power is weaker than the Evil Eye’s, the target will go unconscious, experience strong dizziness, or hallucinate. The specific result will depend on how strong the target’s spiritual power is.”
Xiong Ju reluctantly nodded when he heard that.
Although he loathed the eyeball, he knew its value.
The demon hybrid ringleader was a little uneasy and took him to take care, “Take note of this, don’t use it too many times during battle. If it shoots more than three rays in a short amount of time, the Evil Eye will be unable to sustain itself and it might fall apart. And if the Evil Eye falls apart, as the host, your spirit will be greatly shaken, and your body will also be severely injured. Remember that at all costs, at all costs!”
The human, dwarf, and demon hybrid ringleaders had all handed over their trump cards, so Xiong Ju couldn’t help but look at Ban Lan Gen and Spring Boxer.
After a moment of self-deliberation, Ban Lan Gen took out a syringe as thick as a baby’s arm.
“After some consideration, this is the thing that most suits you. You all should be familiar with this treasure, it is the Battle Qi Syringe.”
“As a fighter, we can store our battle qi into it. During a fierce battle, when our battle qi is nearly spent, injecting this into yourself can greatly replenish your battle qi in a short amount of time.”
“The amount it can store is about equal to the total sum of my battle qi reserves. Xiong Ju, if you use it, I estimate it can restore 150% of your total battle qi.”
“How wonderful!” Xiong Ju exclaimed in admiration, taking the Battle Qi Syringe.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Battle Qi Syringe was just silver level, it was very practical and had a great impact during combat.
Xiong Ju finally looked at Spring Boxer.
Spring Boxer shrugged his shoulders, “You know me, I haven’t been here, nor have I been a ringleader for that long. Normally, my savings are all used for cultivation. The strongest things I have are my spring components, how can I give them to you?”
Xiong Ju coldly snorted with dissatisfaction, “You don’t need to give me those springs.”
Spring Boxer was also resentful that these people were colluding with each other, but he didn’t say anything.
For one, he was a Bayonet Gang ringleader, and was part of them, he would never side with an outsider.
Secondly, they weren’t going against dueling regulations.
Seeing Spring Boxer not offering something, Teng Dong Lang decided to broker a compromise.
He took out a transparent medicine bottle, and inside, one could see there were three pills inside it.
These pills were the size of an adult human’s thumb, and the surface of them gleamed with a slick black.
“These are cultivation pills made by the Empire’s eastern monks, after taking one, a fighter’s battle qi will gain penetration imbuement.”
Teng Dong Lang serenely introduced it.
This resulted in every ringleader gasping.
“Oh, it’s actually penetration imbuement!”
“This pill is very rare. I’ve only heard of it and never seen it with my own eyes.”
“The eastern monks refine this pill to cultivate penetration imbuement. But making this pill is very costly, and apart from needing a brilliant pharmacist, one also needs to have a saint level who cultivated penetration imbuement participating in its refinement the entire time.”
“In the abbey, this kind of pill never meets demand. Don’t be fool by its silver level, it does not have a market price and often reaches a gold level price during auctions!”
“Boss Gang Leader, how did you get ahold of these pills?”
The ringleaders were all excited.
Because they were all fighters.
Magic usage had techniques. Such as quicken casting, consecutive casting, and heightened casting.
Likewise, battle qi usage also had techniques.
Among them was piercing imbuement, slashing imbuement, and penetration imbuement, the three great classical battle qi attack techniques.
A master of penetration imbuement could give defense penetration to their battle skills.
If the dragonman youngster grasped penetration imbuement, then each of his Demolition Fists would be imbued with penetration. Regardless of whether the explosion or penetration imbuement came first, grasping it would double his attack’s might.
It could be said that mastering any like of imbuement would cause a fighter’s strength to rise dramatically.
But mastering this kind of battle qi technique was always a challenging affair.
Cultivating it not only needs a vast volume of laborious efforts, but also comprehension.
Of the Sheng Ming Empire fighters, the Eastern Monastery’s monks were the best at cultivating this battle qi technique.
They were not only good at cultivating it but also compiling information on it and developing many helpful educational materials that allowed others to more easily master this imbuement.
Even so, there were few monks that could learn penetration imbuement.
Of the three classical battle qi attack techniques, penetration imbuement was rarer than the piercing and slashing imbuements, harder to master, and also more applicable.
Piercing and slashing imbuements could be used with battle skills, in substitute of a weapon, resulting in piercing and slashing damage.
But penetration imbuement was very difficult to supplant (of course, there were rare battle skills that had penetration).
Its specific effect was that an offensive battle skill could penetration outer defenses and go directly into the enemy’s body.
It was undoubtably the bane of armor!
Therefore, the ringleaders were very excited to learn about this.
Of the six ringleaders present, none of them knew how to use any imbuement.
Then Teng Dong Lang suddenly took out a pill bottle. Those pills were able to help the user temporarily imbue their attacks.
Increasing their military strength for a short time was the most unremarkable effect of the pills.
Their greatest impact was helping a fighter understand how penetration imbuement felt earlier.
This was a great aid to a fighter mastering this imbuement.
In fact, the eastern monks had developed this pill as a precious teaching aid, made to instruct the younger generation that was learning about penetration imbuement!
Teng Dong Lang looked at Spring Boxer and sighed, “I haven’t mastered any imbuement, but this pill was not mine to take. A few years ago, I requested this from the army for the younger generation, and after many difficulties, I was finally able to obtain three.”
“Now, I will use them to deal with Long Fu, I believe that is an appropriate use of them.”
“Don’t underestimate our adversary this time. After they had a clash with Bing Xiao, they struck first and gained the initiative, they are not simpletons!”
“Now that the entire gang has been challenged, we need to unite as one and dedicate ourselves sincerely.”
“Because we are one gang, one body, one people.”
“Do you believe that, Xiao Tan?”
Spring Boxer couldn’t help but be discolored, he felt both touched and ashamed. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Teng Dong Lang, “Lord Gang Leader, I will memorize your words. I too believe…that it is appropriate that these three pills be given to Xiong Ju.”
The other ringleaders were silent.
Teng Dong Lang and Spring Boxer’s relationship was known to them.
Teng Dong Lang had taken extremely good care of Spring Boxer, and in fact, Spring Boxer being able to become a gang ringleader was because Teng Dong Lang was backing him.
Teng Dong Lang’s three pills had clearly been for Spring Boxer.
However, Spring Boxer was too young, too high on himself, and made mistakes.
His biggest mistake was not being unable to defeat the dragonman youngster, nor was it thinking highly of him, but rather it was his terrible attitude that all of the gang members could recall from memory.
He actually opposed his own people and supported an external adversary!
Xiong Ju showed his discontent, and were the other four ringleaders not the same too?
Of course they were.
They were merely constrained by Teng Dong Lang and didn’t show their true feelings.
Luckily Teng Dong Lang was here.
He cleaned up Spring Boxer’s mess and publicly made up for his mistake.
The three treasured pills were given to Xiong Ju.
Xiong Ju’s dissatisfaction vanished.
Spring Boxer also got a lesson and understood his error.
The other ringleaders also increased their approval of Teng Dong Lang. Their gang leader’s handling of this gained their respect.
Spring Boxer’s “loss” also greatly offset their discontent.
Due to Teng Dong Lang’s actions, the hidden danger of internal strife was eliminated from the Bayonet Gang’s leadership
They were once again united, and most crucially, Teng Dong Lang was their core!
Teng Dong Lang finally looked at Xiong Ju, “Now, how sure are you of tomorrow’s fight?”
Xiong Ju, with equipment and medicine in hand, burst into laughter and clapped his chest in oath, “Long Fu’s defense is very formidable, but my hacksaw has never been bothered by such enemies. With the treasures I received, I don’t believe a silver level like him is stronger than me. I am certain of victory!
