This Side-effect Is Great - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Improve Without Practice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The ferocious worms outside the Chaoyun Manor and the lilac female ghost that appeared during the day made Song Ankang feel increasingly threatened.

He did not have a definite feeling previously from the host body. It was only when he personally experienced it that he realized how unfriendly this world was to humans.

It must be known that this was still the safest region of the Human race, only several dozen li from the capital. Compared to other places, it was already very safe.

Even so, Song Ankang had witnessed and experienced so many dangers in just a few days. If it was an ordinary person, how difficult would it be to survive?

All of this was lashing out at Song Ankang, urging him to improve faster. If he was just a little slower, he might face a disaster.

Song Ankang, who had died once, definitely did not want to do it again. He cherished his life now. Nothing was more important than his life.

Therefore, even though the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra’s fighting style was very painful, Song Ankang was adapting bit by bit. He tried his best to throw a few more punches to absorb more side effects.

“You have used the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra. Because of the side effects of the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra, all of your muscles and tendons have been damaged… the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual has taken effect. It is currently absorbing energy from the outside world and is about to transform into a side effect. Please wait a moment!”

The side effects of four consecutive punches naturally far surpassed three. After fainting for a period of time, the Fate Defying Heavenly Book began to transform the side effects of the punches.

First, he recovered his damaged meridians. Then, he began to upgrade every single tendon in Song Ankang’s body. He made the tendons, which had already reached a certain pinnacle, reach their peak.

“Boom…”

After a brief stalemate, the turbulent Qi and Blood Qi broke through the bottleneck and began to temper Song Ankang’s bones.

The stronger the bones, the stronger the resistance, and the stronger the penetrative power. The corresponding attacks were also fiercer.

Therefore, the tempering of the bones could not only increase the defensive power, but also increase the offensive power.

Threads of qi and blood of the seven wounds seeped into his bones continuously, tempering every bone. At the same time, it also tempered the impurities within, allowing Song Ankang’s strength to rapidly increase.

When he woke up again, Song Ankang’s strength had already steadily reached the Bone Training Realm. It was also the last minor realm of the fourth minor realm of External Realm. Moreover, it had completely stabilized. There was a faint silver luster flickering in his bones.

Song Ankang’s face was full of smiles as he felt the explosive increase in his strength. The physique he obtained from transmigration and integration was really too powerful. It far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

No one would have thought that Song Ankang had advanced from an ordinary person to the fourth minor realm of External Realm within ten days without the help of any miracle medicines. He was also the peak of a third-rate martial artist.

Moreover, after advancing to the Bone realm, Song Ankang’s overall strength had once again soared. In a head-on collision, even a martial artist at the first minor realm of the Internal Realm would find it difficult to resist.

If his combat experience and skills improved, Song Ankang’s overall strength would definitely soar again.

Therefore, after stabilizing his current realm, Song Ankang began to cultivate an escape magic skill.

Demonic movement technique, Traceless Snow Steps!

Thanks to the good culture of the human cultivation world in China, they basically wouldn’t keep it to themselves. Therefore, Song Ankang chose a high-grade seventh-grade fiendish movement technique. It was also one of the top fiendish movement techniques among the human race in China. It allowed cultivators to use it for their entire lives.

The so-called Traceless Snow Steps, as its name implied, was that after cultivating to a sufficiently high realm, even if one walked through the snow, there would be no traces. It was an extremely profound movement technique that was extremely suitable for long-distance running, and short distance sprinting was also very powerful.

Once he successfully cultivated it, Song Ankang’s escaping abilities would increase by several times.

As the saying went, as long as there was life, there was hope. As long as a martial artist’s life was still around, there would always be a time when they could make a comeback. This showed the importance of an escape technique.

Initially, Song Ankang had wanted to cultivate an escape technique for a long time, but he had not found a suitable one. This time, he managed to find one suitable for him from Jiang Yunhe’s cultivation technique manual.

Traceless Snow Steps didn’t sound like a devilish martial skill, but most cultivators recognized it as a Devil Dao martial skill. The reason for this was because the side effects of Traceless Snow Steps were too great. So evem though there were many areas that didn’t meet the requirements of a Devil Dao martial skill, they were still called Devil Dao martial skills.

There was only one side effect of the Traceless Snow Treading Steps, and that was that once one stopped cultivating, their martial technique would definitely regress. Moreover, the speed of regression was astonishing, beyond anyone’s imagination.

He even had to spend a lot of time cultivating every day. Otherwise, this movement technique would have regressed. But who could spend so much time on a movement technique?

It was precisely because of this that even though Traceless Snow Treading was shockingly powerful, it was still listed as a demonic martial technique.

But for Song Ankang, who could absorb side effects, such side effects were what he wanted the most.

It was not difficult to cultivate the Traceless Snow Steps. If not for the fact that the side effects were too great, many people would choose to cultivate this superior seventh-grade movement technique.

After fusing with the soul of the original owner, Song Ankang’s comprehension ability was already very strong. Coupled with the enhancement of his spiritual will from practicing the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra, it only took him dozens of hours to master Traceless Snow Steps.

Then, Song Ankang stopped cultivating and waited for the side effects of leaving no traces.

“You have cultivated the Traceless Snow Steps Technique. You have been affected by the side effect of the Traceless Snow Steps Technique. The Traceless Snow Steps Technique is about to regress… The Fate-Defying Heaven Manual has taken effect. It is absorbing external energy and is about to transform the side effect. Please wait a moment!”

“The Fate-Defying Heaven Manual has accumulated enough energy and is starting to work… Your Traceless Snow Steps is improving!”

After only a few hours, the side effects of the Traceless Snow Steps came. This also meant that once he cultivated the Traceless Snow Steps, he had to practice every few hours, and it would take a lot of time.

No wonder it was called a demonic martial technique. If not for the fact that he had the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual, Song Ankang would not have been able to withstand such a side effect. But now, he only felt that… it was really fragrant!

With the help of the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual, the side effects of the Traceless Snow Steps were quickly absorbed. Song Ankang could clearly feel that under the feedback of the side effects of this top-notch demonic technique, his movement technique realm quickly increased, and his comprehension of the Traceless Snow Steps became deeper and deeper.

Taking advantage of the heat, Song Ankang immediately began to practice Traceless Snow Steps. In an instant, the entire training room was filled with Song Ankang’s figure, and his speed was more than twice as fast as before.

There was a world of difference between movement techniques and movement techniques, not to mention that Song Ankang cultivated the top-notch demonic movement technique.

After this wave of side effects ended, Song Ankang’s Traceless Snow Steps had already reached a higher level, comparable to more than half a month of cultivation for ordinary people.

The side effects of the Traceless Snow Steps were really awesome. Song Ankang happily felt the power of the Traceless Snow Steps increase. His body shuttled through the small training room like a swallow, looking elegant as he strolled.

If the other martial artists who had cultivated the Traceless Snow Steps knew about Song Ankang’s current situation, who knew what they would think? They would definitely cry out in envy.

To others, it was troublesome and had terrifying side effects, but to Song Ankang, it became a great thing.

But soon, Song Ankang also felt that this side effect was a little too much.
