Chapter 153: Chapter 88 Complete Version of Giant Whale Skill!_1
“This…” Su Changkong’s mouth twitched slightly, somewhat at a loss for words.
The Giant Whale Skill was the Sect’s Top Skill of the Giant Whale Gang, a cultivation technique that only the Gang Leader was qualified to learn. The last time Li Lie and others burned down the Xuanwu Pavilion and stole the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture, Su Changkong intercepted them.
Not only that, but Su Changkong also understood the Giant Whale Skill from the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture and secretly cultivated it, achieving certain results!
Yet just as he used the Giant Whale Skill to heal and detox, Sikong Huang saw it all.
Prior to this, Sikong Huang did not attack him while he was healing, which should mean she harbored no intent to kill him, but Su Changkong still heightened his vigilance. If a fight were to break out, even in his weakened state, he wouldn’t sit idly by and be an easy target!
Su Changkong organized his thoughts and explained truthfully, “That night, I heard some noise and saw Li Lie handing something over to Liu Geng. So I knocked out Liu Geng and found the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture… I can return it to you.”
Su Changkong was slightly embarrassed, but it was not his fault; it was the Giant Whale Gang’s own oversight that allowed their Divine Intent Picture to be stolen, and he was not the thief. He had simply not adhered to the noble act of returning lost property.
By now, the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture wasn’t of much use to Su Changkong anymore, and since the rightful owner knew, there was no issue in returning it.
“Indeed… the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture ended up in your hands!” Sikong Huang couldn’t help but be surprised.
The theft of the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture was no trivial matter; the whole Giant Whale Gang had been turned upside down in the search, but to no avail. Sikong Huang had thought it most likely ended up with Meng Sang and was irretrievable, so they had no choice but to drop the matter.
And Meng Sang, on his part, believed that one of the Hall Masters had taken it back.
However, contrary to expectations, the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture had not fallen into either party’s hands but into those of a low-profile young alchemist! Truly a silent fortune!
“The only item stolen that day was a single Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture, without the accompanying Cultivation Technique. For outsiders, it wouldn’t be of much use. Yet he managed to learn the Giant Whale Skill just from this one image?” At the same time, Sikong Huang was secretly shocked by Su Changkong’s talent.
Learning the Giant Whale Skill from just a single Divine Intent Picture, not even her own father might possess such talent and insight!
“Who exactly are you? With such strength and skill, why hide your identity and infiltrate our Giant Whale Gang?” Sikong Huang stared at Su Changkong intently; this young man, younger than even her, was hiding very deep!
This was also what Sikong Huang wanted to figure out: was he friend or foe?
Su Changkong shook his head helplessly, “Miss, it’s not as complicated as you think. I didn’t lie about joining the Giant Whale Gang; I’m just an ordinary person from a barren place, nothing more. As for joining the Gang, it’s because I like the peacefulness of Alchemy and Martial Arts training, with no ulterior motives.”
Although Su Changkong had falsely reported his home as the desolate Cattle Village, it wasn’t entirely a lie, as the area around Clearwater City was also a destitute land rife with bandits.
Su Changkong joined the Giant Whale Gang merely to improve his Alchemy and freeload on Pill Medicines!
“Is that so…” Sikong Huang still couldn’t believe a genius Martial Artist could emerge from such a small place, but Su Changkong spoke with sincerity, and she felt that Su Changkong probably had no ill intentions in joining the Giant Whale Gang.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have refused to poison the Pill Medicines and opted to leave the Giant Whale Gang, resulting in being hunted by Meng Sang. The enemy of an enemy is a friend!
With that thought, Sikong Huang said sincerely, “Master Su, truth be told, I want to invite you to return to the Giant Whale Gang with me and confront Meng Sang together.”
As Sikong Huang spoke, Su Changkong frowned inwardly.
He had finally left the Giant Whale Gang, and now she wanted him to return?
Su Changkong certainly harbored a deep desire for revenge against Meng Sang, but there was a saying, “A gentleman’s revenge is not too late, even after ten years.” With his current strength, facing Qi Chenghong alone had exhausted his reserved Blade Qi, and it was only with Sikong Huang’s aid that they had managed to chop him down.
Meng Sang’s strength was undoubtedly far superior to Qi Chenghong’s. Su Changkong could wait a few more years to cultivate further, ensuring he was fully capable of overpowering Meng Sang before seeking revenge for today’s events, rather than rushing into a life or death struggle.
Therefore, Su Changkong tactfully declined, “My strength is too modest. Even with me added, it won’t change the bigger picture. Right now, I just want to rest well.”
“You call cutting Qi Chenghong down the middle into two pieces modest strength?”
Sikong Huang was also at a loss for words. Modest strength? Really?
Qi Chenghong ranked among the top ten experts in the Giant Whale Gang. Su Changkong being able to fight on par with him meant that his strength was substantial enough to take on significant responsibilities within the Gang!
Sikong Huang considered herself to be stronger than Qi Chenghong, but if she faced him in direct combat, it wouldn’t be easy to take him down!
At the same time, Sikong Huang somewhat admired Su Changkong’s temperament. Though young, his thinking was very mature. Anyone else, having been hunted by Meng Sang, would have likely accepted her invitation to get together against Meng Sang for revenge.
Yet Su Changkong chose to refuse.
Sikong Huang pondered, then spoke up, “You deduced the Giant Whale Skill from the Divine Intent Picture, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” Sikong Huang brought up the Giant Whale Skill again, and Su Changkong could only nod in agreement. The Giant Whale Skill he had used during his healing had been seen by Sikong Huang!
Sikong Huang focused on Su Changkong and said, “The Giant Whale Skill is our Gang’s Unparalleled Technique, reserved only for the Gang Leader. Within the entire Gang, besides my father, even my elder brother has never learned it!”
