Chapter 855: Upset
After taking such a hard hit from the giant sea turtle, Sage could feel the worst of the damage to his internal organs already in the process of repairing themselves, but his enhanced healing was not very quick. It was an ability taken from a somewhat weak creature and he didnt put a great focus upon it when he was making the Jade Sky Mantis. It was important to have this ability to recover in an emergency, but even if there werent any other abilities it still wouldnt be able to heal that rapidly. Instead of healing a wound in minutes it was better to just have the capability to end a fight immediately. When taken to the extreme, faster healing would just end up like those worms, sure they can grow a new body out of their two halves, but they usually are just flopping around looking for something to bite. The opportunity cost is just too high.
The poison that the sea turtle swam into was Greenrose Miasma, the poison that had become the backbone of the Lang Clan and was used as their innate Poison Qi. It was the basic medium to which other poisons could be added and as Poison Qi it wasnt just a poison but a power source that could be used to perform Qi Techniques. He dumped out all of his Poison Qi to lay this set of traps for the sea turtle so it would take him some time to recover it. The core of a cultivator would automatically absorb the energy of the world around them and convert it into Qi for them to use, and Sage had already merged that core into his Nascent Soul long ago so there was no worry about running out. It was merely a question of time. Poison Qi was highly concentrated and virulent, and it was only a secondary Qi system for him. These limitations meant his supply of Poison Qi was small in quantity and also slow to recover.
One of the reasons that the Jade Mantle had become so important for the Lang Clan was precisely because of these limitations. The Jade Mantle lets them move their Poison Qi outside of the body, emptying out their Poison Qi reserves so that more of it would be produced. At the same time the highly condensed Poison Qi was a very dense fuel to power the Jade Mantle. Not only did those attacking them or attacked by them get exposed to Poison Qi, the highly concentrated Qi was very good when burned to enhance their physical abilities. As long as they didnt mind walking around with a Jade Mantle active all the time, they could also have a reserve of Poison Qi to use for other purposes. The only real downside was that once it was burned up or destroyed it was not something that could be easily restored in combat.
Usually, this wasnt a very big downside, but Sage was using the Jade Mantle to form his swim fins. As soon as his Jade Mantle was destroyed he lost a lot of his swimming speed. In this disaster, a team of researchers were already learning and training with the Golden Mantis Body, the technique of the original Lang Clan that the Jade Mantle was derived from. The Jade Mantle was created to be easier for their mantis bodies to perform, utilizing their Poison Qi and also improved to allow different shape transformations. They were quickly working to make the changes to the old technique so he could use it with his normal Qi to form fins.
On the Inner World a row of proud men and women with their backs straight and their chests held high stood at attention. In front of them, an old man with a long white beard and surprisingly large and taut muscles walked back and forth. The mans violet eyes seemed to pick out each and every one of their flaws, lingering upon the part of their body that troubled them the most.
You still need to put more pressure onto your back leg when striking.
You are letting your left side guard down too much and there is a weak spot developing on your shoulder.
The old man continued the harsh criticism of each of these people, giving each of them a pointer despite the disapproving look in his eyes. Finally, when he got to the end of the line he let out a loud sigh and looked towards the sky for a long moment. Then his gaze fell upon the people in the line once again, You are all the best with underwater techniques, so youll have to do. Get to work!
