Chapter 154: Chapter 88 Complete Version of Giant Whale Skill!_2
Hearing this, Su Changkong became even more vigilant. If Sikong Huang used the Giant Whale Skill as a pretext to make things difficult for him, he would definitely not sit around waiting for death.
But Sikong Huang’s tone changed as she said, “Without cultivating the technique, merely studying from the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture will not allow you to practice the Giant Whale Skill to a profound level. However, now that the Giant Whale Gang is in need of people, I am willing to make an exception and pass on the method of cultivating the Giant Whale Skill to you!”
Su Changkong was somewhat surprised. Not only did Sikong Huang not pursue the matter of his secretly learning the Giant Whale Skill, but she was even willing to give him the method of cultivation?
Even though Su Changkong had gleaned the method of cultivating the Giant Whale Skill from the Divine Intent Picture, just as Sikong Huang said, without the specific cultivation method, his practice of the Giant Whale Skill would be hard to advance to a profound level; what he learned was only very rudimentary.
The cultivation technique combined with the Divine Intent Picture is the complete Giant Whale Skill!
However, Su Changkong grew even more cautious. He knew all too well that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Since Sikong Huang wasn’t pursuing his secret learning of the Giant Whale Skill and was even willing to give him the complete version, she must be seeking something more from him!
But the Giant Whale Skill wasn’t essential for Su Changkong, and it wasn’t worth the risk.
Seeing Su Changkong’s hidden vigilance, Sikong Huang held him in high regard. This Master Su, not only had he achieved something in martial arts and alchemy, but his temperament was also quite extraordinary. No wonder he had such accomplishments at such a young age.
“Don’t think too much about it. I simply want you to join our faction to contend with Meng Sang,” said Sikong Huang.
This only made Su Changkong all the more puzzled. He considered himself to have some strength and capital, but was it worth Sikong Huang going to such lengths to recruit him? Even if he really joined the Gang Leader Faction’s ranks, it would not likely tip the scales of the situation!
Unless… the situation of the Gang Leader Faction within the Giant Whale Gang was really dire, so dire that Sikong Huang had to resort to everything she could to strengthen her own side, hence sparing no expense, even the Giant Whale Skill!
“Is it possible that Meng Sang now dominates the Giant Whale Gang?” After pondering for a while, Su Changkong organized his words before speaking.
Sikong Huang shook her head, a faint worry surfacing on her pretty face. “The situation isn’t too bad… but it’s indeed not that great. I won’t hide it from you. Originally, the situation between both sides was relatively peaceful, with my elder brother in charge. But he was injured a while ago and needs some time to recover. Relying on just myself is indeed a bit of a stretch.”
“So… the Qi Consolidation Guardian Soul Pill was for Sikong Zhan?”
Su Changkong suddenly understood. He had already had a suspicion at the time.
The Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, Sikong Yong, had a son and a daughter, both paragons among men and women. His eldest son, Sikong Zhan, was brave and skilled in battle, carrying the same young elegance as Sikong Yong, and held considerable prestige within the Giant Whale Gang!
But Sikong Zhan was gravely injured a while back and confined to his bed. Meng Sang probably got wind of it, which was why he became restless.
As for Sikong Huang’s mention of “some injuries,” Su Changkong naturally did not believe it. The severity of Sikong Zhan’s injuries must be very grave; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had Su Changkong concoct the Qi Consolidation Guardian Soul Pill, used for healing and saving lives!
It was precisely because he received this news that Meng Sang pressured Su Changkong to poison the Pill Medicine, which was meant for the gravely injured Sikong Zhan!
But after Meng Sang later learned that Sikong Zhan, who had taken the pill, not only didn’t succumb to poison but instead stabilized, he realized Su Changkong hadn’t done as he had instructed, which infuriated him and led him to want to get rid of Su Changkong.
Sikong Huang earnestly said, “I ask for your help not to confront Meng Sang head-on, simply as a safety measure. Just wait until my elder brother’s injuries are healed, or until my father comes out of seclusion. My father will complete his cultivation soon, and in front of him, that Meng Sang is nothing but a clown!”
Su Changkong listened and felt a bit swayed. He didn’t need to confront Meng Sang directly, only wait for some time. Once Sikong Zhan’s injuries were healed, or once Sikong Yong, the strongest in the Giant Whale Gang, emerged victorious from seclusion, he would be successful!
Of course, Su Changkong still had some worries in his heart. He had learned the Giant Whale Skill, and Sikong Huang promised to pass the complete Giant Whale Skill to him, but if Sikong Yong came out of seclusion, would he take action against him?
After all, the Giant Whale Skill was the Sect’s Top Skill of the Giant Whale Gang, known only to Sikong Yong; even his own son hadn’t been taught it, yet it was learned by an outsider. Now that he was of use, the Gang Leader Faction wouldn’t do anything to him, but once they no longer needed him, who’s to say they wouldn’t kill the donkey after it finished turning the millstone?
No wonder Su Changkong was so cautious. The martial arts world is dangerous, and this possibility did exist.
“Return with me to the Giant Whale Gang, and I will immediately impart the complete Giant Whale Skill to you—and satisfy all your needs for the Pill Medicine required in your cultivation!”
Sikong Huang said once again, her lovely face brimming with sincerity, promising not only to teach Su Changkong the complete Giant Whale Skill but also to provide him with the necessary Pill Medicine for his cultivation.
Sikong Huang showed such sincerity, and if Su Changkong still didn’t agree, would she remain so easygoing and let him leave? Currently, Su Changkong was in a weakened state and definitely could not withstand Sikong Huang, a master of her caliber.
One is worth recruiting only if they have value to be utilized. Without any value, they’re just another useless passerby!
Moreover, Su Changkong was indeed angry at Meng Sang’s actions. With not many options available, he decided to agree for now. If he sensed any danger, he could always slip away quietly!
With this in mind, Su Changkong gave a slight bow, his face full of gratitude, “Lady Sikong honors me. It would be disrespectful of me to refuse again! I am willing to contribute my strength to the Giant Whale Gang!”
