Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Su Chen said indifferently, "In a moment, when I need to open up your meridians, you'll be able to expel the waste gases from your body smoothly."

"Oh..." Han Qiuyun seemed to half-understand.

Following that, Su Chen took out the silver needles.

A total of one hundred and eight silver needles.

"Here are one hundred and eight silver needles in total. Each needle can open up a meridian in your body. The more meridians you open, the more Inner Strength you will receive. So, try to endure as much as possible..." Su Chen breathed in lightly.

"Mhm." Han Qiuyun nodded.

"Will it hurt a lot?" Han Qiuyun asked, looking at Su Chen holding the silver needles.

As a practitioner of Chinese medicine, she was actually not afraid of acupuncture.

After all, the needles she had stuck into herself were countless.

If it was just the pain from acupuncture, let alone one hundred and eight needles, even two hundred and eight or three hundred and eight, she could bear it.

But why did Su Chen want her to endure as much as possible?

Su Chen nodded and said, "I will use True Qi to forcibly open your meridians. That kind of pain is no less than giving birth."

Han Qiuyun shuddered when she heard that.

Although she had never experienced it, she still knew how painful that was.

Because she had felt such pain through a pain simulator device before.

It was... an unbearable, torturous pain, worse than death.

"Moreover, that's just the initial level of pain, so endure however much you can. If you really can't, give up; otherwise... you might truly be in pain to death..." Su Chen said gravely.

In his heart, he naturally hoped that Han Qiuyun could endure as many needles as possible.

However, everyone has their limits.

Because he needed to open Han Qiuyun's meridians, he couldn't block her sense of pain using acupoint techniques.

"I understand," Han Qiuyun said, her heart holding some fear, but her eyes remaining resolute.

How could one reach the heavens in one step without enduring hardships?

"Alright then, lay flat," Su Chen gestured for Han Qiuyun to lie down flat.

She took a deep breath, bringing her Essence and Spirit to their optimal state.

Then, he pricked down onto one of Han Qiuyun's meridians.

Han Qiuyun was already psychologically prepared.

But it seemed...

Not very painful.

Not much different from the usual pain when she gave herself acupuncture.

If it was like this, she could completely endure until all one hundred and eight needles were finished!

However, just as she was thinking this, she felt a surge of intense pain rising from somewhere in her body.

The sensation was like a stream of molten lava flowing inside her body.

That stream of lava seemed to be burning through her body.

This was Su Chen's True Qi.

Moreover, it was the fieriest True Qi.

"Um, ah!"

Han Qiuyun endured for two seconds before she could no longer hold it in.

She let out a cry of pain, and her fists clenched instantly.

Pain, it hurt too much.

Although she had been prepared, when the pain truly hit her, she found it somewhat unbearable.

The thought of giving up instantly crossed her mind.

Many people think that their willpower is very strong, but when true suffering strikes, they find that they're not as strong as they imagined.

Han Qiuyun was the same.

This pain had already far exceeded the agony of childbirth, okay?

It felt like her body was being melted by the lava.

No!

I have to endure; this is just the first needle!

Su Chen said that the longer I endure, the more Inner Strength I would gain.

But if she couldn't even withstand a single needle, how would she gain Inner Strength?

How would she pass down the tradition of Chinese medicine?

In her life, apart from Chinese medicine, she knew nothing else.

If she really gave up on being a doctor of Chinese medicine, what else could she do?

Soon, Han Qiuyun's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen felt a slight sigh in his heart.

Although he had never experienced this kind of pain, he knew what it was like.

So, if Han Qiuyun's determination to pass on Chinese medicine wasn't strong enough, she might have given up at the first needle.

At that time, not to mention that Han Qiuyun wouldn't gain any Inner Strength, his own Inner Strength would have been wasted as well.

To forcibly help someone gain Inner Strength in this way, Su Chen would have to sacrifice ten years of his power.

Ten years of power, with his talent far beyond ordinary people, would also take at least two years to cultivate.

Of course, that's the time needed to cultivate ten years of Cultivation.

If it's now, because his own strength has already reached a certain level, and it's just a temporary loss of Inner Strength, it should take no more than a few months to fully recover.

Moreover, after recovery, there would actually be some growth in his strength.

But generally, no one would choose to do this.

After all, using it would make one's power regress by ten years immediately.

It would still have a significant impact on him.

However, Su Chen's strength did not rely entirely on Inner Strength; therefore, sacrificing ten years of power would at most affect one-tenth of his combat ability.

Otherwise, he would not easily do such a thing.

Pain is not to be feared; it is the continuous pain that is truly fearsome.

This process lasted for ten minutes before slowly subsiding.

The first meridian, successfully opened.

Han Qiuyun felt as if she had walked through Hell Gate.

She believed that she would never forget the sensation of those ten minutes for the rest of her life.

And, to her astonishment, a layer of dark impurities emanated from her body.
