Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: The Necessary Conditions to Become the Strongest Earth Realm

When Lin Dong saw the Giant Scorpion Gu emerged from the lake, he wasn’t particularly surprised.

He had long noticed something odd about that abandoned lake.

He knew something was hidden there; otherwise, the abandoned lake couldn’t possibly smell so foul.

”Lin Dong, I originally wanted to play with you a little longer. But I didn’t expect you to find me. Since that’s the case, let’s complete the task earlier,”

the Snake Woman said casually while still licking a lollipop.

As if in her eyes, killing Lin Dong was as simple as eating or sleeping.

Lin Dong sneered, ”It’s not certain yet who will fall.”

”Heh, you actually think you can still live, what a naïve man,” the Snake Woman shrugged.

”Cut the crap, aunty. All this nagging, are you going through menopause or what?” Lin Dong curled his lip.

Hearing this, the Snake Woman’s face instantly contorted into something hideous.

”I told you, don’t call me old. You’re really asking for death!”

No sooner had she spoken than countless Golden Thread Snakes flew out from her hair.

There were over a thousand of them.

It was hard to imagine that so many snakes could be hidden in her hair.

Each of the Golden Thread Snakes was as thin as a strand of hair, dense and numerous, shooting towards Lin Dong like a torrential downpour.

If those Golden Thread Snakes burrowed into a person’s body, the Snake Woman could then control that person’s body through her Gu Technique.

”Lin Dong, once I control your body, I will make your life a living hell!”

The Snake Woman’s face, normally childlike, now bore a hideous expression.

Facing these Golden Thread Snakes, Lin Dong smiled indifferently.

Immediately, he exerted his Inner Qi!

A protective shield of Strong Protective Qi, formed by the External Release of Inner Qi, appeared around his body!

”Do you think that with Strong Protective Qi, you can withstand it? My Golden Thread Snakes can penetrate anything...”

The Snake Woman sneered, but before she could finish her sentence, the smile on her face froze.

Because she witnessed a scene that shocked her.

Her Golden Thread Snakes, upon touching Lin Dong’s Strong Protective Qi, were all deflected back, unable to penetrate his body at all.

Moreover, after being deflected, they were now shooting back toward her.

”How is this possible!” The Snake Woman was utterly shocked.

Strong Protective Qi could be released by any Explosive Qi Master.

This was the mark of an Explosive Qi Master’s External Release of Inner Qi and was the key difference from an Internal Strength Master.

With this Strong Protective Qi, Inner Qi Masters couldn’t even get close to them.

But the Snake Woman had never seen Strong Protective Qi like Lin Dong’s before.

Not only could it defend against her Golden Thread Snakes, but it could also deflect them!

”Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh～～”

The Golden Thread Snakes that were deflected and seemingly went crazy, escaping her control.

She could only spread a handful of Powder and kill those Golden Thread Snakes in pain!

After killing her own Golden Thread Snakes, the Snake Woman glared at Lin Dong with clenched teeth and asked:

”My Golden Thread Snakes are supposed to penetrate everything, so why can’t they break through your Strong Protective Qi?”

”And, why can your Strong Protective Qi deflect attacks?”

Lin Dong just smiled and did not respond.

His Strong Protective Qi was not ordinary.

It was cultivated through the Nine Shift Longevity Secret, and it was not like the Qi of ordinary martial artists.

It was like that of a Cultivator!

Any attack launched by someone weaker than him could be deflected by his Strong Protective Qi.

Lin Dong had named this special Strong Protective Qi ’Innate Gang Qi’!

Of course, these things were not necessary to share with the Snake Woman.

”Not bad, at such a young age, you have such strength. No wonder my foster father issued a Hades order to execute you!”

At This Moment, the Scorpion King, who had been standing on the Giant Scorpion Gu and had not spoken until now, suddenly opened his mouth.

The Snake Woman, hopping mad, said, ”Scorpion King, hurry up and act, kill him!”

The Scorpion King nodded, standing atop the Giant Scorpion Gu and looked at Lin Dong, coldly saying:

”Kid, let me show you the difference between an ordinary Explosive Qi Master and an Explosive Qi Master like me who has the opportunity to breakthrough to become the strongest Earth Realm.”

As he spoke, he released a surge of Qi.

The Qi in his palm condensed, eventually forming a Short Sword.

Seeing this, the Snake Woman shouted excitedly:

”Scorpion King, you can actually perform ’Inner Qi Shape Transformation’! No wonder my foster father said your future achievements would surpass mine. I didn’t believe it before, but now I admit it wholeheartedly!”

”Hahaha...” Hearing this, the Scorpion King couldn’t help but burst into hysterical laughter.

Inner Qi Shape Transformation, this skill, among Explosive Qi Masters, only a few could master.

Looking at those who had managed to make a breakthrough to the Earth Realm Powerhouses, there was a pattern: they had all mastered ’Inner Qi Shape Transformation’ during their time as Explosive Qi Masters.

Thus, there is another rule in the Martial Arts World. Only those who have mastered ’Inner Qi Shape Transformation’ can break through to the Earth Realm Powerhouses.

This is a necessary condition!

Of course, this doesn’t mean that with Inner Qi Shape Transformation you will definitely break through to become an Earth Realm Powerhouse.

It just means that the odds are higher than for others!

But if you don’t have it, you will certainly not become an Earth Realm Powerhouse!

Now this Scorpion King can perform Inner Qi Shape Transformation, albeit only using the Inner Qi to transform a Short Sword, but he still stands as a prodigy.

Even Zhuque, the Dragon Envoy hidden in the shadows, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but express her astonishment:

”This second foster son of the Gu King, the Scorpion King, is truly talented. He can actually perform Inner Qi Shape Transformation. It looks like Lin Dong will be asking me for help immediately...”

In Zhuque’s eyes, Lin Dong would not be a match for the Scorpion King, who had mastered ’Inner Qi Shape Transformation’.

But At This Moment, Lin Dong, with a strange look on his face, asked:

”Performing Inner Qi Shape Transformation with such a Short Sword, is that really something to brag about?”
