My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 449: Chapter 206: Golden Rainbow

A genuine Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor now covered his entire body!

He had now reached the Minor Achievement stage of the Second Layer... and the structure of the innermost layer of the Abyss Water Armor began to change once more.

Not only did it become more stable, but its constituent True Essence—a fusion of the Abyss Water Armor Leaf Skill and Profound Turtle Shell Powder—even changed color, growing tougher and more powerful.

However, this was a change on an almost microscopic level, invisible to the naked eye.

And in the process, Qin Fang’s Physique had naturally grown stronger as well.

Now... his physical strength had almost surpassed two hundred thousand pounds!

That was a staggering amount of power.

With his body encased in the Abyss Water Armor, he was a terrifying weapon of destruction in his own right.

In a close-quarters battle, he reckoned very few at the same Realm could stand against him.

His Celestial River Reversal technique reached Perfection at the First Layer, and he had reached the entry-level of the Second Layer.

Now, when attacking with Celestial River Reversal, he could unleash nearly double his strength—a staggering four hundred thousand pounds!

...It was a pure case of overwhelming others with sheer force!

His Void Spiritual Eyes had reached Perfection at the First Layer, and he was at the entry-level of the Second Layer.

...The subtle fusion of his Divine Sense and True Essence Perception allowed him to see the faintest surges of Primordial Power.

...As long as his opponent wasn’t using a Concealing Breath technique, he could also discern their approximate Cultivation and True Essence Nature.

In addition, his eyesight had sharpened dramatically. He could see with perfect clarity from over ten kilometers away, as long as his view wasn’t obstructed.

His Deep Stream Returning Technique had also reached First Level Perfection, with the Second Layer at the entry-level. When he activated this Concealing Breath Leaf Skill, his presence became like a deep, still pool. As long as he wasn’t seen directly, it was nearly impossible to detect his life force or True Essence fluctuations.

According to the technique’s description, upon reaching the Third Layer, the Deep Stream Returning Technique could even achieve the effect of "Hundred Days of Invisibility." At that point, even if an opponent came face-to-face with him, those with low Cultivation might be completely unable to see him.

’It must be some kind of light-bending effect,’ Qin Fang surmised.

After all, the Deep Stream Returning Technique was fundamentally a Concealing Breath Leaf Skill with a Profound Water Nature.

...But since he hadn’t yet reached that Realm, Qin Fang couldn’t be certain.

Even now, though Qin Fang was still far from achieving "Hundred Days of Invisibility," ordinary Investigation Leaf Skills would likely be unable to see through his Cultivation.

He naturally concealed the True Essence throughout his body within his flesh and blood. Unless he actively circulated and revealed it, judging his true Cultivation would be incredibly difficult.

Feeling the various changes in his body, Qin Fang let out a soft breath, his eyes glinting.

’The results of this half-year of seclusion are astonishing!’

But after a satisfied smile, he let out another soft sigh.

"Compared to the true powerhouses, I’m still leagues behind..."

"If I ran into a powerhouse like that Ji Ai Old Ghost, I’d probably still be killed in a single blow... I have a long road ahead of me."

At this thought, any trace of his earlier satisfaction vanished without a trace.

’After all, I’ve been cultivating for far too little time.’

Shaking his head, Qin Fang flew upward.

As he prepared to leave, he decided to check on the Chujiang River, as was his custom.

He was going to look for the Treasure Fish, of course.

The Treasure Fish had been on his mind for a long time.

He had read countless books at the Hundred Herbs Courtyard, but he still hadn’t found any mention of the Treasure Fish that appeared in the Chujiang River...

He had even asked some of the Elders at the Hundred Herbs Courtyard, but to his surprise, even those widely-read Elders had never heard of such a thing.

This naturally made Qin Fang all the more curious about the Treasure Fish.

So, every time he came here for seclusion, Qin Fang would occasionally make a trip to the Chujiang River to see if he could find any Treasure Fish.

Unfortunately, in over a year, he hadn’t seen a single one. It was as if the Treasure Fish had vanished along with the fall of True Martial.

’Besides, the timing of the Treasure Fish’s appearance is strange. They showed up at almost the same time as the Blood Luo Sect... and the Demons in the river... I wonder if the three are connected somehow.’

Qin Fang mused as he flew through the air.

He flew effortlessly, soon clearing the great mountains and spotting the Chujiang River below.

Then, Qin Fang descended.

He didn’t want to reveal his ability to fly to just anyone.

...It was best to keep the fact that he was training in seclusion at Old Ox Back a secret.

This would prevent prying eyes from noticing and eventually discovering the secrets of Old Ox Back.

He wasn’t even wearing his Infinite Star Armor, having changed into a set of plain, coarse-spun clothes.

...The fact that someone had identified him at a glance last time had served as a wake-up call.

To the discerning eye, wearing the Infinite Star Armor was tantamount to announcing his identity.

Soon, Qin Fang spotted rows of sampans on the Chujiang River.

The True Martial sect was located by the water, so naturally, there were a great number of fishermen.

In fact... the entire Canglan Prefecture was home to a massive population of fishermen.

He concealed his presence and followed the river downstream when he suddenly heard a commotion.

Curious, he moved closer to investigate and saw a group of people locked in a bloody battle by the riverbank.

The battle was already nearing its end.

The men were split into two groups, both dressed in coarse linen clothes. They wielded common Weapons like machetes, iron bars, and clubs, brawling in a chaotic melee.

However, they were distinguished by different colored cloth strips tied around their arms.

One group wore black armbands, the other, white.

More than ten men lay on the ground, some with severed limbs.

Qin Fang watched, raising an eyebrow.

In the midst of the fray, two men were still locked in a fierce struggle. The heavy, sharp sounds of their fists and feet cutting through the air far surpassed the abilities of the surrounding gang members. They were two Anjin Martial Artists.

They were shouting curses at each other, and as Qin Fang listened, he gradually began to understand the situation.

The two gangs were fighting for Control of a place called River Mouth City.

The two Anjin Martial Artists were the rival Gang Leaders.
