What Should I Do If I Can’T Die?

"You were killed by a Gu Corpse, Yang Qi +1!"

"You draw strength from death and gain a Free Attribute Point 1!"

...

"Ding, congratulations on being killed by a new target. You meet the incentive conditions. If you eliminate the target within the specified time, you will have a chance to draw a prize."

"Ding, you have been killed by physical attacks more than 30 times. Awaken the Indestructible Vajra. The strength of your flesh, skin, and bones increases by an additional 30 points!"

The expected reward appeared, the Indestructible Vajra that Martial Dao cultivators dream of.

A golden sheen instantly appeared on Song Shi's flesh, and the density of his bones increased, making him impervious to knives and spears.

When the dog's mouth bit down again, there was a cracking sound as its teeth shattered!

Song Shi stared dumbfounded at the dog with broken teeth that still wanted to bite, feeling like crying without tears.

How did he awaken an Indestructible Vajra ability? Now even dogs can't bite him.

How should he die?

"You're really useless!"

In frustration, he threw a punch.

With a bang, the dog was sent flying and slammed into a tree trunk, directly turning into a pile of minced meat.

"Ding, congratulations on killing the target. You have a chance to draw a prize!"

As the system notification sounded, the dog's internal organs spilled out, filled with densely packed black worms wriggling madly, almost making Song Shi vomit.

"What the f*ck!"

Song Shi felt extremely nauseous and quickly stepped back, only to find that he also had these black worms on his neck, biting him.

It seemed that they were left behind when the dog's teeth shattered, and they seemed to want to enter his body and find a new host.

However, his flesh was too thick for these worms to harm him. Apart from feeling disgusted, there was no danger.

Enduring his disgust, he pulled off these worms and took a look, feeling that they were too damn disgusting.

"Could it be that these things can make a dead dog get up and attack people?"

Song Shi crushed them and wiped off the dirty stuff with a piece of cloth.

"Ah, even dying is such a hard job. I can tolerate being killed by such dirty things."

He sighed in his heart and opened the system panel to observe.

...

"My physique didn't increase, but my defense has increased!"

Song Shi looked at the Indestructible Vajra, feeling happy but also a little frustrated.

His defense had doubled, and even dogs couldn't bite him anymore.

"Roar!"

Another dog appeared at the entrance of the small forest.

However, Song Shi had no interest anymore.

Things that couldn't kill him had no value to him. Instead, they would disgust him.

"The system calls this thing a Gu Corpse, and the worms inside are called Gu, right?"

Song Shi guessed, not paying much attention to the dog. If it dared to rush over, he would easily break its neck.

Swoosh!

A spear flew from the side and pierced the dog's head, directly pinning it to the ground.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Da Congming jumped in from outside, holding several wooden spears in his hand.

Song Shi shook his head, "I'm fine. Why didn't I see you just now?"

"Just now, there was also trouble with the body of the old gatekeeper. Lao Zhao and I had to work hard to deal with it. We haven't rested yet when we heard something happening here."

Da Congming sighed and said, "This strange thing is quite tricky. Inside, there is something called 'Gu', and when you kill it, you can't get too close, otherwise the Gu worms will enter your body... and you'll end up like the old gatekeeper."

"Gu!"

This was the first time Song Shi had heard about this thing from someone else.

"Mm."

Da Congming walked over with a spear in his hand and said, "In the martial world, there is a group of people called Gu Masters. They use Gu as their means, and they are hard to defend against."

As he sighed, Da Congming caught sight of the broken corpse and his eyes widened, "Who killed this?"

"A master. Let's go."

Song Shi didn't want to reveal his abilities for now. "You still have to teach me martial arts, don't delay!"

"Oh!"

Da Congming glanced at the dog with its neck snapped and couldn't help but give Song Shi another look, shaking his head inwardly.

"It couldn't have been Young Master. The force behind this is beyond what an ordinary person can achieve."

As they walked, Song Shi started drawing lots.

In the original lottery wheel, there were now only eleven items left, increasing the probability of getting what he wanted.

"Draw once!"

After Song Shi started drawing, he didn't pay attention to the results.

In his view, whether he looked at the results or not, it was all random and made no difference.

"Ding, congratulations on drawing the Innate Pill!"

The system prompt appeared shortly after, disappointing Song Shi.

This was a treasure that helped Martial Artists break through to the Innate stage, but it was only suitable for consumption after reaching the pinnacle of the acquired stage. It wasn't useful for him right now.

"Why give me the Innate Pill? I haven't been practicing for long."

Song Shi wasn't too satisfied and drew again.

This time, he drew the question mark area.

"Ding, congratulations on drawing the Phantom Step!"

Phantom Step: Apex Level body movement martial arts. After practicing, one can create illusions, making it difficult for others to determine their position.

Song Shi's face darkened. Did he only draw things he didn't want? Was he really that unlucky?

"I can only continue practicing the Iron Sand Palm. This palm technique should be quite powerful."

Helpless, he thought to himself and looked at Da Congming, "What martial art do you want to teach me?"

"Just a simple breathing technique. Young Master, you have never practiced it before and have no foundation. Start by learning the breathing technique, familiarize yourself with the circulation of qi and blood in your body, and gradually progress to refining essence and transforming it into qi, condensing True Qi with internal strength."

Da Congming laid out the plan, "Young Master, don't think that the breathing technique is useless. It is the foundation of internal strength."

"Go on."

Song Shi wasn't in a hurry to learn internal strength from Da Congming. Basic knowledge of martial arts was more important.

"When practicing the breathing technique, first familiarize yourself with the meridians and acupoints of your body, grasp the rules of qi and blood circulation, and then follow the rules to breathe, adjusting the qi and blood in your body. This can continuously strengthen your physique and prevent diseases."

Da Congming explained one of the principles of cultivation, progressing gradually and following the body's rules.

Song Shi understood immediately and nodded, "I understand. What should I pay attention to when practicing internal strength?"

"Internal strength requires a more aggressive approach."

Da Congming introduced, "If the breathing technique is about following the body's rules of qi and blood circulation, internal strength is about forcefully mobilizing qi and blood along a specific route, storing it in the dantian, and condensing True Qi. Therefore, the risks are very high."

"Cough, I understand that."

Song Shi agreed deeply. As someone who had died ten times while cultivating internal strength, he understood better than anyone the magnitude of the risks.

"Yes, there is essence contained in the qi and blood. It is the vitality of the human body. If it is forcibly changed, it will definitely have an impact on the body. At best, it will cause disorder in the qi and blood and lead to illness. At worst, it can cause disability or even immediate death."

Da Congming said seriously, "Even if the cultivation goes smoothly, if the essence in the body is consumed and not replenished in time, problems will arise. This is why the saying goes 'poor in literature, rich in martial arts.' It is also the main reason why we rely on the Song family. With a force to rely on, we can have the resources to replenish our bodies and maintain the requirements for martial arts practice."

"I understand. People are like iron, food is like steel."

Song Shi understood.

"Yes, if it weren't for the cultivation resources, we would be much freer and happier."

Da Congming sighed, "Of course, being free also has its downsides. One is danger. When you encounter trouble, you can only rely on yourself. Another is the lack of sufficient communication and teachers. In martial arts, you have to rely on yourself to explore."

"If one cultivates True Qi, will they also risk losing control?"

Song Shi asked what he wanted to know.

"Of course, cultivating internal strength is like walking on thin ice. There can be no mistakes. Otherwise, whether the True Qi runs too fast or runs in the wrong direction, it can be fatal. Sometimes, the higher the cultivation level, the more terrifying the risk of losing control. A slight mistake can cost you your life!"

Da Congming affirmed.

"Indeed..."

Song Shi knew that what he had figured out on his own was correct, and he felt quite good about it.

Because in the future, he could continue to make mistakes deliberately and die by losing control.
