"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, both Chu Feng and the Monster Woman were startled, their eyes filled with alarm.
Because the poison before had only been spreading within Wang Qiang's body, but at this very moment, the poison was being drawn by Wang Qiang into his dantian.
Hummm—
However, just as Chu Feng and the Monster Woman were both worrying about Wang Qiang...
Wang Qiang's cultivation actually rose, and it rose continuously.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Qiang's cultivation had climbed to Sixth-rank Half Ancestor, actually a full rank above Chu Feng.
"Haaah..." After his cultivation rose, Wang Qiang let out a long, satisfied breath and said to Chu Feng with a grin:
"Hehe, look... looks like this poison wasn't... wasn't suffered for nothing. It actually did me a favor."
"Otherwise, I almost got left behind by you, brother."
Indeed, the last time they met, Wang Qiang's cultivation had also improved somewhat, reaching Second-rank Half Ancestor.
But Chu Feng's cultivation had already reached Fourth-rank Half Ancestor, meaning Chu Feng had completely surpassed Wang Qiang.
However, this time Wang Qiang had actually broken through four consecutive levels, leaping directly from Second-rank Half Ancestor to Sixth-rank Half Ancestor, once again overtaking Chu Feng.
He had truly turned misfortune into a blessing.
"Congratulations, brother." Chu Feng beamed with genuine joy. Rather than feeling sour about Wang Qiang surpassing him in cultivation, he was happy — extremely, incredibly happy.
"Wow, you're so amazing, darling!"
"I heard that this poison does have the ability to boost cultivation, but only those with extremely strong physiques can benefit from it."
"Usually... it only raises cultivation by one level."
"Even for the impressive ones, it raises it by two levels at most."
"They say that breaking through three consecutive levels is already the absolute limit."
"But you, darling, actually broke through four consecutive levels! You're truly without precedent in the past or future!"
"You're just so wonderful, darling. I'm completely infatuated with you." The Monster Woman was ecstatic, gazing at Wang Qiang with the adoration of a starstruck fan.
Faced with such a Monster Woman, Wang Qiang felt not even a shred of happiness — only a forehead full of dark lines.
"W-weren't... weren't you saying that this M-moonlight Immortal Spirit Flower could help me become an Immortal Robe Spirit World Master? Th-then hurry up and do it," Wang Qiang said.
"That's true, but darling, you were clearly unconscious before. How did you know about that?" the Monster Woman asked, surprised.
"I'm... I'm very well-read, with... with vast knowledge and experience. Did you think only you knew about the Moonlight Immortal Spirit Flower's effects?" Wang Qiang retorted irritably.
"Yes, yes, yes! You're so amazing, darling." The Monster Woman not only didn't get angry but instead looked at him with even more adoration — perfectly obedient, though admittedly rather ugly. The more she acted this way, the more it made one's stomach churn.
But then, the Monster Woman quickly added: "Darling, since you're so well-read and so incredibly knowledgeable, you must know what kind of formation is needed to refine this wild and violent Moonlight Immortal Spirit Flower, right?"
"My formation is too overwhelming — I c-can't tell you, you wouldn't be able to handle it. Just use your own," Wang Qiang said naturally.
On this point, Chu Feng truly admired Wang Qiang. The man clearly had no idea whatsoever, yet he could say it all so convincingly while casually boasting at the same time — that really was a talent.
Swish—
But who would have expected that, right at that moment, the Monster Woman suddenly swung her large hand and — with a crisp slap — brought it down right on top of Wang Qiang's head.
The slap was vicious. It didn't just send Wang Qiang crashing face-down to the ground; a large blood blister immediately swelled up on the back of his skull.
"Damn it! I saw you were poisoned, so I thought I'd go easy on you."
"You're getting ahead of yourself, aren't you? Acting all big and tough now."
"If you were really so capable, could you have gotten caught by me? Could you have been poisoned?" The Monster Woman stood with her hands on her hips, furiously shouting at Wang Qiang. Her voice was so loud that even the cave itself trembled again and again.
"I... I was wrong, I really was wrong, please forgive me." Wang Qiang's attitude shifted
