With the resilience of his Five Elents Body, he would have pulled through even if Ma Tian’Er hadn’t intervened, suffering only superficial injuries at worst. However, the experience was certainly unpleasant. Fire Poison Body Refining was truly agonizing.
Although Wang ng’s will was resolute, discomfort was still discomfort. But then, the Fire Poison suddenly weakened considerably. The feeling of leeches burrowing into his flesh eased, and Wang ng couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
A blush crept onto Ma Tian’Er’s face as she bit her lip. Seeing the pained expression on Wang ng’s face finally relax, a faint smile graced her own. Suddenly, her own pain didn’t seem so bad.
The Fire Poison’s craving for Wood Elent Elental Power was clearly much stronger. It gradually transferred from Wang ng’s body to Ma Tian’Er’s. Before long, Ma Tian’Er’s world started to spin, and she passed out.
The Fire Poison was far more damaging to a Wood Elent constitution than to Wang ng, and the pain it inflicted was much more intense.
Wang ng circulated his Five Elents Technique, gradually gaining the upper hand and refining the Fire Poison within his body. With this, he had completed one-fifth of the third stage of his Five Elents Technique.
After a long while, Wang ng’s body suddenly shuddered. A red light erupted from him, only to imdiately retract back into his body. After this repeated several tis, Wang ng opened his eyes.
He gasped for air, feeling an incredible sense of relief wash over his entire body. ’What a close call,’ he thought. ’A true blessing in disguise.’ The later stages of the Five Elents Technique were progressively harder to master, and Wang ng had estimated it would take him at least a year for this step. Yet, he had barely been cultivating and he’d already completed the Fire Jade Technique, finding his breakthrough. He now understood the trick to his cultivation. By following the sequence of the Five Elents, the rest of the process would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Suddenly, he felt sothing pressing down on him.
The delicate and alluring Ma Tian’Er was lying on top of him. Startled, Wang ng quickly propped her up. The mont his hands touched her, he knew sothing was wrong.
’Damn it, this silly girl. Was this really necessary?!’
One look at Ma Tian’Er’s condition and Wang ng knew what had happened. ’This girl is really foolish to a fault. Who with a Wood Elent constitution would draw Fire Poison into their own body?’
Inside Ma Tian’Er’s body, her Wood Elent Elental Power was desperately fighting off the invading Fire Poison. But the Fire Poison could devour the Wood Elent Elental Power to grow stronger, and Ma Tian’Er’s own power was steadily losing ground.
Wang ng didn’t dare to delay. He sat Ma Tian’Er upright and circulated his Five Elents Technique, sending a steady stream of his Elental Power into her. Although he possessed a Five Elents Body, his Wood of the Five Elents was certainly not as alluring to the Fire Poison as Ma Tian’Er’s pure constitution. Using the sa trick to lure the poison to himself wouldn’t work. He could only use the Water of the Five Elents to douse the flas and help her resist.
"Tian’Er, stay strong! Work with !"
Wang ng’s voice echoed in Ma Tian’Er’s Sea of Heart. Though her body was unconscious, the Sea of Heart was the domain of the soul. Ma Tian’Er’s body trembled slightly as she regained a sliver of consciousness.
Ma Tian’Er’s first sensation was their intimate contact. It had been one thing when Wang ng was unconscious, but now he was the one taking the initiative. Her head began to spin all over again.
Wang ng was also a little baffled. A mont ago, Ma Tian’Er’s body had been resisting automatically. Why had his call thrown everything into chaos? His Elental Power was external, after all; it couldn’t replace her own body’s defenses. He had no choice but to keep calling out to her.
"Tian’Er! Tian’Er! Calm down! Try to guide the Fire Poison over to !"
Still lost in the sensation of their close contact, Ma Tian’Er finally jolted to her senses and quickly focused her Heart Spirit.
Wang ng was extrely worried. A Fire Poison invading a Wood Elent body was very tricky to handle, and this particular poison was growing with ferocious montum.
Unlike Wang ng’s grave anxiety, Tian’Er was in pain, but she could feel his concern. ’This is the happiest I’ve ever been,’ she thought. Pain, life, death—none of it mattered to her. She just wanted ti to stop forever in this very mont.
Wang ng quickly found the knack. Using the Water Jade Technique to directly eliminate the Fire Poison was ineffective. However, using the Water Jade Technique to nourish Ma Tian’Er’s Elental Power produced an unexpected, and perfectly compatible, result. Ma Tian’Er felt a surge of vitality.
It wasn’t just simple nourishnt. Their hearts were already connected through mutual trust. As Water generates Wood in the cycle of the Five Elents, the process was as natural as a fish returning to water. With Wang ng’s resolute will and Ma Tian’Er’s newfound fearlessness, the Fire Poison was left with no opening to exploit.
With the situation stabilized, Wang ng began to unleash the true power of his Five Elents Technique. He used the Water Jade Technique to shield Ma Tian’Er’s Sea of Fate, while the Earth Jade Technique converted his Elental Power’s attribute to the Earth of the Five Elents, splitting it into two fronts to quarantine the Fire Poison.
Divide and encircle!
Ma Tian’Er’s Elental Power gradually regained its footing. This was only possible due to the might of Wang ng’s Five Elents Technique, which leveraged the generating and overcoming cycles of the Five Elents to their fullest extent. Otherwise, a Fire Poison invasion into a Wood Elent body would have been a guaranteed critical injury.
After more than a full ancient hour, Wang ng finally managed to corner the Fire Poison, compressing it into a small section of her Sea of Fate. Both of them were drenched in sweat.
Even Wang ng couldn’t completely expel the Fire Poison from Ma Tian’Er’s body. For now, all he could do was suppress it and figure out another solution.
They both opened their eyes. Ma Tian’Er blinked her large eyes, a sweet smile gracing her lips. "Thank you."
"You foolish girl! What were you thinking? You have a Wood Elent constitution, yet you drew the Fire Poison to yourself! Do you have a death wish?!"
Wang ng couldn’t help but rage, "I told you I was fine, and I ant it!"
His words ca out like a rapid-fire barrage.
Ma Tian’Er was stunned by his outburst; she had never heard Wang ng raise his voice like that.
"Brother Wang... I..."
Seeing Tian’Er’s pitiful expression, Wang ng imdiately felt a pang of regret. ’I’m being a real bastard,’ he thought. ’She only did it to save .’
He sighed. "Tian’Er, you’ve known for a long ti. I’m hard to kill, and I’m not afraid of anything. If sothing like this ever happens again, you absolutely cannot do sothing so foolish. We were lucky this ti. Otherwise, you might have..."
