Chapter 123 - 103: The Most Special Extraordinary Contactor

Chapter 123: Chapter 103: The Most Special Extraordinary Contactor

He then asked Gu Qing, "Do you mind if I probe your Qi Blood and Spiritual Strength?"

"I don’t mind."

Gu Qing replied without hesitation.

When the strong wanted to probe the weak, the weak had no grounds to refuse.

Even if they did refuse, if the strong decided to probe them by force anyway, there was nothing the weak could do.

All things considered,

it was better to just accept from the start than to refuse and offend the strong.

Seeing that Gu Qing didn’t mind, the warehouse manager acted. With a thought, he released a wisp of Extraordinary Power and slowly sent it seeping into Gu Qing’s body.

After probing for a moment, the warehouse manager withdrew the Extraordinary Power and said to Gu Qing,

"First, place your hand on the red stone ball. After a full minute, move it to the Blue Stone Ball."

"Alright."

Gu Qing agreed.

He then quickly placed his hand on the red stone ball.

After a full minute,

he moved his hand to the Blue Stone Ball.

HISS!

BUZZZZ—

CRACK!

The third Blue Stone Ball shattered.

The warehouse manager said nothing, merely silently swapping out the shattered Blue Stone Ball.

Then he looked at Gu Qing and said,

"I’m going to probe your Qi Blood and Spiritual Strength again. Then, I want you to repeat the absorption process."

"Alright."

Gu Qing agreed.

The warehouse manager said no more and probed Gu Qing’s Qi Blood and Spiritual Strength once again.

After finishing the probe, he had Gu Qing repeat the absorption process.

HISS!

BUZZZZ—

CRACK!

The fourth Blue Stone Ball shattered.

The warehouse manager probed Gu Qing again. When he was done, he had him continue absorbing the Extraordinary Power from the two stone balls.

Gu Qing was more than happy to comply.

He quickly extended his right hand, absorbing from the red stone ball first, then the Blue Stone Ball.

This time, the Blue Stone Ball didn’t tremble.

The cool sensation flowing from it was much fainter.

「One minute later.」

This fifth Blue Stone Ball remained intact, not shattered from the absorption like the previous four.

By now, the warehouse manager had a general idea of what was happening with Gu Qing.

He looked at Steward Tian and stated his conclusion.

"When Gu Qing’s Qi Blood Strength is far higher than his Spiritual Strength, he absorbs Spiritual Extraordinary Power at an extremely fast rate, while his absorption of Qi Blood Type Extraordinary Power is normal."

"However, when his Qi Blood Strength is on par with his Spiritual Strength, his absorption rate for both Spiritual and Qi Blood Type Extraordinary Power is normal."

"In other words, as long as either his Qi Blood Strength or his Spiritual Strength is far higher than the other, given sufficient resources, the lower stat can rapidly increase—ignoring all bottlenecks—until it matches the higher one."

"However, I reached this conclusion based on a scenario where his Qi Blood Strength is higher than his Spiritual Strength."

"I have no way to verify if the same holds true when his Spiritual Strength is higher than his Qi Blood Strength."

"Because for an Extraordinary Contactor like him, raising one’s Spiritual Strength to be far higher than one’s Qi Blood Strength is practically impossible."

For the vast majority of Extraordinary Beings, increasing Qi Blood Strength is easy—all they have to do is improve their Physical Strength.

Spiritual Strength, on the other hand, is much harder to improve.

It requires a great deal of time and arduous training just to raise it by a small fraction.

This is also why the Fox Woman is so effective against low-level Extraordinary Beings.

Low-level Extraordinary Beings usually have an abundance of Qi Blood but possess very low Spiritual Strength.

Steward Tian understood the warehouse manager’s conclusion.

He looked at Gu Qing and couldn’t help but sigh. "Sigh, your constitution is simply divine. You only need to raise your Qi Blood Strength to become a perfect expert in Qi Blood Spirit Dual Cultivation."

"It’s a pity you’re only an Extraordinary Contactor. You improve both your Qi Blood and Spirit very slowly, and your upper limit is far too low."

"If Kexi, who has already achieved a saintly physique, had your constitution... she would be invincible. She could go on to achieve spiritual sainthood as well."

"From then on, no spiritual technique would affect her at her tier. Relying on a physique that far surpasses her peers, she could easily steamroll all opposition."

"Sigh."

Steward Tian sighed again, patting Gu Qing’s shoulder. "I hope you can Awaken one day. Otherwise, a constitution like yours will go to waste."

’Waste?’

’There’s no way it’ll be wasted!’

’Just give it some time, and I’ll go find my junior and grind the hell out of her [Martial Saint] tag!’

’As long as I have enough spiritual resources to absorb, sooner or later I’ll become the perfect expert in Qi Blood Spirit Dual Cultivation, completely invincible within my tier!’

Gu Qing was ecstatic.

...

「Over ten minutes later.」

Gu Qing emerged from the warehouse feeling incredibly refreshed and clear-headed.

Inside the warehouse, he had shattered four Blue Stone Balls in a row, completely balancing his Spiritual Strength with his Qi Blood Strength.

Before entering the warehouse, his Qi Blood Strength was at Tier Seven.

The reason it was Tier Seven was that he had been evolving primarily by increasing his Physical Strength.

In this situation, his Biological Level was equal to his Physical Strength. And since his Qi Blood Strength was equal to his Physical Strength, his Qi Blood Strength was therefore equal to his Biological Level.

His current Biological Level was Tier Seven, so his Qi Blood Strength could only be Tier Seven.

As for his Spiritual Strength, he had hardly ever trained it.

At least, not by using his tags.

Therefore, his Spiritual Strength before entering the warehouse had definitely been far lower than his Qi Blood Strength.

It was probably at the Tier Five level at best.

But now, his Spiritual Strength had balanced out with his Qi Blood Strength; both were at Tier Seven.

If he could fight those two Fox Women again, he was confident he would be completely unaffected by their Charm Technique.
