Chapter 579: Combat Body Condensation (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two months later.

Scarlet Research Institute, Training Room 1.

Feng Qi wore a red martial arts attire. He sat cross-legged in front of the jade statue and meditated to deepen his mental connection with his other self.

Compared to when he first established the mental connection, the faint light in his sea of consciousness had grown more than five times.

However, he still couldn’t move freely in his sea of consciousness, let alone integrate into the spinning innate ability bead to obtain the innate ability trait.

In meditation.

His breathing slowed down. He could feel his mental strength being continuously absorbed by the jade statue.

As for the absorbed mental power, it had clearly turned into pure power of faith and was taken away by the Miracle Bracelet.

At this moment, the door to the training room was pushed open.

Upon hearing the voice, Feng Qi immediately opened his eyes and turned around.

The person who arrived was a burly middle-aged man. He wore a special armor forged from spirit ores produced by a domain field, and there was a dagger on his left calf and waist.

It could be seen that he was a warrior who had been through hundreds of battles. Many parts of his armor had fallen off and were worn out. His indifferent eyes revealed a trace of killing intent.

He walked to the center of the training ground and stood still. Then, he waved at Feng Qi.

Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately stood up and walked towards the burly man.

“Uncle Gu.”

Feng Qi stood in front of the man and nodded in greeting.

The burly man in front of him was called Gu Ke. He could be considered an old acquaintance from many timelines.

Back when the Scarlet Research Institute established the special forces team to recover the brain, Gu Ke was the overall person in charge of this team.

In the previous timeline, when he and the owner of the fog fell unconscious outside Former Days City, it was Gu Ke who led a team to bring him back to the Scarlet Research Institute.

From Wei Wei’s description, he learned that Gu Ke was also a frontline warrior.

After graduating from the Winter Academy, he established a combat team with a group of students when he was young. He had worked hard to turn this combat team into an A-grade domain combat team and obtained the Medal of Outstanding Contribution.

In the early years, he was even evaluated as one of the top 10 rookie warriors in the Winter Academy’s frontline and obtained many honors.

Choosing to join the Scarlet Research Institute was an accident.

At that time, Gu Ke had led a team to undertake a mission assigned by the Science and Technology Research Institute. It involved going to the domain field to collect a special spiritual material called the Temptation Grass.

In the end, they encountered the strongest race in the domain field and were almost wiped out.

Gu Ke was also poisoned and almost died. Fortunately, the warriors of the other joint combat teams risked their lives to protect him and brought him out of the domain field.

At that time, Gu Ke was sent to the hospital in Winterfrost for emergency treatment.

The doctors in Winterfrost Supply Area were powerless against the poison in Gu Ke’s body.

As this was a newly discovered poison, it would take a considerable amount of time to develop an antidote.

However, Gu Ke’s life was in danger.

Just as the hospital was about to give up, Wei Wei, who was interested in the poison in Gu Ke’s body, sent a private plane to pick him up and bring him back to the Scarlet Research Institute.

When they arrived at the Scarlet Research Institute, Gu Ke was unconscious and on the verge of death.

Fortunately, he met Wei Wei.

In the end, with Wei Wei’s help, the poison in his body was successfully removed and his life was saved.

However, because the treatment was too late, the poison destroyed Gu Ke’s bodily functions, causing him to be paralyzed in a wheelchair.

At that time, Gu Ke was dispirited.

An unforeseen event had caused him to lose all his team members and companions. He had also become a cripple. There was no longer any meaning in living.

At that time, the director often counseled Gu Ke and gave him psychological treatment.

In the end, it was the director who suggested that Gu Ke join the Rune Transformation Project.

Faced with the hope of standing up again, Gu Ke chose to accept it.

This surgery was successful. Gu Ke completed the rune transformation experiment and became a rune warrior. After that, he chose to join the Scarlet Research Institute and become a member of its combat team.

Over the years, Gu Ke contributed greatly to the development of the Scarlet Research Institute.

After many probes and tests, the Scarlet Research Institute trusted Gu Ke.

Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with such an important task as retrieving the brain.

Looking at Gu Ke who was standing in front of him, Feng Qi took two steps back and stood still. He assumed the starting stance of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

“Uncle Gu, be careful. It’s hard for me to hold back my punch!”

“Don’t worry, the rune crystal on my body comes from a Behemoth, and its healing power surpasses that of the Demon Dragon. Even if my limbs are broken, they can grow back with enough time. So, don’t worry about causing harm.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi attacked.

As he twisted his body, his right fist, which had been storing power, suddenly smashed towards Gu Ke.

The flames burning in his chest soared at this moment.

The red fist shadow left his fist and smashed towards Gu Ke’s chest like an unsheathed sword aura.

Gu Ke’s reaction was quick. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and caught the fist shadow. His body slid a few meters away from the force.

Looking down at the burn marks on his arm, a smile appeared on Gu Ke’s face.

“Interesting. Go on, come at me with all your might.”

After hearing this, Feng Qi pounced at Gu Ke.

After choosing Fist Force, there was no retreat in battle. Any hesitation would weaken the lethality of his fist intent.

As their figures intertwined, red fist shadows danced.

Gu Ke was going easy on him in the battle.

Feng Qi’s current strength was entirely derived from Fist Force, but his physique was still quite weak before he obtained the enhancement of his innate ability..
