Chapter 41: The Flaw of the Qi Armor Stone

  A swarm of killer bees buzzed around him, their scarlet compound eyes gleaming with intense hatred, as if they wanted to swallow him whole.

  The killer bee that charged to the front was a descendant of the previous batch of killer bees that had reproduced on their own, and its venom and ferocity were even stronger than those of the batch that had been processed by Black Forest. The six green-glowing stingers merged together, fiercely diving towards Zong Yin's soul power shield.

  A strand of soul power thread as thin as a hair floated in front of him, and before he could figure out what was going on, his head fell to the ground. The headless corpse of the killer bee submerged Zonghui's knees, and more corpses continued to fall from the sky.

  Zong Yin's soul power threads, which were stuck to his fingertips, danced in the air with a fierce and domineering aura, continuously controlling them to behead the killer bees one by one. Even if some of them occasionally broke through Zong Yin's defense, he would hurriedly chop them into several segments.

  The formation of the Qi Bo stone not only strengthened Zong Yin's body, but also deepened his control over his soul power. The originally difficult-to-master soul thread was now as agile as five fingers in his hands.

  This scene left everyone in the classroom stunned, even Yang Jun couldn't have achieved such an effortless massacre of the killer bees, after all, there were too many of them and they were too small.

  And it was all thanks to the Qi Bo Shi that Zong Yin was able to slaughter these killer bees with such ease.

  As Hún Yù said, the air is everywhere, and the killer bees are no exception. After Zōng Yǐn concentrated the air in the Qì Bǎo Shí into his eyes, he could clearly see the flow of air in the surrounding environment. It felt as if he could predict what the killer bees would do next, making it effortless for Zōng Yǐn to deal with them.

  However, after the gas is condensed into a Qi Gathering Stone, it's not all advantages. The cultivators described by Hun Yu can observe the flow of gas without concentrating their energy in their eyes, but Zong Yin can only feel the gas within his own body. If he wants to observe the external gas, he needs to let the gas in his body pass through the Qi Gathering Stone first, which is undoubtedly a lower level.

  Luckily, Zong Yin was a contented person, and being able to see the flow of air had already made him very satisfied. With this ability, in the monthly trials, Zong Yin was almost invincible.

  Suddenly, Zong Yin somewhat enjoyed the various gazes gathering around him. At this moment, he finally felt a hint of himself entering the protagonist mode after crossing over, rather than being just a passerby.

  There is a saying that goes like this: "Humility makes progress, pride makes backwardness." Before Zong Yin had finished being pleased with himself, he deeply felt the meaning of these words.

  The soul force thread that was still in his hand had suddenly disappeared without warning, unable to behead the killer bee that was flying towards him. The surrounding world also became indistinguishable from before, and Zong Yin felt a blackness in front of his eyes, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

  Before he could even react, Zong Yin's body suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, his whole body was weak, and he couldn't even stand steadily, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Ah!" Then, countless swarming killer bees submerged Zong Yin, inserting six poisonous stingers into all of his exposed skin.

  "What's going on?! I'm completely out of energy!"

  Zong Yun lay on the ground, using all his strength to protect his head, but his heart was filled with doubts. His soul power was still abundant and hadn't been depleted much, he was still so vigorous just a moment ago! How did it suddenly weaken?

  "You rely on your own breath as the foundation of power when using it, no wonder you won't be weak! The breath in the human body is not infinite, when it is consumed to a certain extent, it will be tired, and when it is exhausted, that's when you die!"

  Hun Yu's voice was very calm, as if he had expected Zong Yin to appear in this situation.

  "Ah! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

  Zong Yin immediately remembered that Hun Yu had indeed said before that when the energy is exhausted, the person will perish. As soon as he thought that he might have died unknowingly, a cold sweat involuntarily wet his back. If he died like this, he would really be unwilling to accept it, and it was truly unjust.

  "I see you're really into it, don't want to rain on your parade. Besides, even if I said something first, you might not believe me anyway. You can only understand that feeling by experiencing it yourself."

  Hun Yu's tone suddenly became somewhat unconvincing, and Zong Yin could even feel that he wasn't like what he said. To know that Zong Yin was strictly following Hun Yu's words on the aspects of Qi and Soul, after all, he had no experience at all. Once something went wrong, it might be irreparable.

  So in the case where Mo Yueming clearly knew this point, he still didn't remind Zong Yin. There's only one possibility: that is, he intentionally wanted to see Zong Yin make a fool of himself!

  "I just used it for about a minute! How can I have consumed so much?! What's the use of this Spirit Stone?! It takes 100 units of external energy to convert into one unit that I can use, and it's not even enough to replenish!"

  Zong Yin had already guessed why Hun Yu was acting this way, but he didn't bother to argue with him about it. What really made him unacceptable was that the consumption of his energy was too terrifying. He simply concentrated his energy on his eyes to observe the outside world, and yet it made him lose strength and fall to the ground. If he mobilized his energy to do other things, wouldn't he immediately collapse?

  Moreover, he had used the palm of his hand as a container to absorb the free-roaming Qi last night, and the conversion ratio was really unbearable for him. He had been absorbing Qi all night, but by dawn, what he could use was probably only one-thousandth of the condensed Qi of the Essence Stone.

  "You're stupid! You've only replenished so little energy from yesterday to now, and the Qi Gathering Stone has consumed more than half of the energy in your body. By now, you haven't even recovered one percent! Filling up all the acupoints around your body will be enough for you to use for over ten minutes. And didn't I tell you that eating is the most effective way to replenish energy?!"

  Hun Yu Jian Zong Yin started complaining and asking some questions that made him hard to accept, suddenly he was scolding again.

  "Am I destined to be a foodie for the rest of my life..."

  He got a response from Hun Yu, Zong Yin was stunned, after a long time, his cheeks twitched, and a person sitting next to the meat mountain appeared in his mind.

  The inhuman torture continued until noon break, when a soul doctor saw that Zong Yin's condition was not right, he had already exhaled more than he inhaled, and hurriedly dispersed the killer bees to help him treat his injuries. It turned out that except for a few vital spots on his face, there wasn't a single unscathed piece of flesh on his entire body.

  If it weren't for the previous strengthening of his body by the Force Stone, Zong Yin would probably be left with only a skeleton now. It seems that the loss of Qi not only took away his strength but also took away a large part of his physical defense capabilities. With this understanding, Zong Yin no longer dared to use the Force Stone casually.

  After eating a high-calorie meal prepared by Hei Sen for everyone, Zong Yin slightly recovered some of his strength. Although he wanted to eat more, each person had a limited amount, and he could only wait until after school in the evening to go to the Soul School cafeteria.

  Zong Yin spent the entire afternoon listlessly sitting in a corner, two soul power knives flying back and forth, diligently practicing his soul power micro-movements. However, under the condition of being unable to feel any energy and having a weak body, his accuracy kept dropping again and again.

  After a painful wait until the evening school dismissal, Zong Yin was like a starving ghost reincarnated, accelerating his feet to rush into the cafeteria, scaring the uncle in the cafeteria so much that he thought it was an enemy coming for revenge and drew out all the knives on him.

  Ignoring the strange looks from others, Zong Yin ordered for ten people's worth of food and occupied three seats. He crazily stuffed all sorts of food into his mouth. After all the food entered Zong Yin's body, the Air Crystal immediately reacted, a faint blue light enveloped the food in his stomach, quickly digesting it completely, forming streams of air that were stored in the acupoints throughout his body. The conversion rate was far higher than absorbing free-flowing air through the acupoints.

  Moreover, Zong Yin discovered that the food transformed from meat was more than that of vegetables. He immediately ordered a dozen roasted chickens, roasted pigs and roasted sheep, filling up the already small space in his storage ring before returning to his dormitory. Anyway, the storage ring was vacuum-sealed, so he didn't have to worry about spoilage; whenever he wanted to eat something, he could just take it out.

  However, he spent a gold coin in an instant. To know that Mu Zongguan only gave 100 gold coins when leaving, which is already his living expenses for a year. In the past two months of life, Zong Yin has also spent a total of five gold coins. Unexpectedly, today's meal used one percent. Meat is really expensive this year!

  At this rate, it won't be long before Zong Yin's gold coins aren't enough for him to eat. Fortunately, Zong Yin isn't worried, in another month, the new student's probation period will pass, and every week, students without a disciplinary record will have two days and one night of free time outside, at that time, he can go to Chucheng Gutaicheng again and withdraw money from his miscellaneous goods store.

  Fortunately, he is also a wealthy man now, after all, there are still industries under his name. In the future, he needs to be more frugal with money, who knows that one day, he will get a high-level soul technique, and buying materials will cost a lot of money! The soul techniques of Blue Star are worth at least thousands of gold coins! He doesn't even dare to think about higher ones now.
