Chapter 267: Chapter 206: Turning the Curse to Advantage, Power Surges_2

However, this method was rather brutal.

"Mechanical Heart, have the Fluid Doctor stand by."

Chen Qing, enduring the intense pain in her body, decisively gave the order.

"Yes, master."

Chen Qing was locked up in the prison on the Mechanical Ship, along with the Law Enforcers and the Fluid Doctor.

She issued a new command to the Law Enforcers.

Without endangering her life, the Law Enforcers were to inflict serious injuries on her body as much as possible.

To prevent any accidents, Chen Qing had brought the Fluid Doctor along.

As a B-level Mechanical Creation, its medical skills were far superior to those of the Water Healing Butterfly.

Under its surveillance, dealing merely with external injuries, Chen Qing would certainly not die.

Having received Chen Qing’s instructions, the Law Enforcers showed no mercy.

In just a few short minutes, Chen Qing’s limbs had healed, only to be broken again by the Law Enforcers.

This time, it wasn’t just her limbs that were broken, but also her ribs and spine...

Chen Qing’s whole body appeared as if it had been pulled from sweat, her wet hair tightly clinging to her forehead.

As it turned out, her guess was not wrong at all.

The Half-Skeleton Curse was indeed a terrifying curse.

Even so, the curse brought with it certain traits that could be beneficially exploited.

In a way, becoming permanently a Half-Skeleton had its advantages.

At the very least, her recovery ability had become exceptionally strong.

And it was hard to bring her down.

Just like Chen Qing at this moment.

From initially being beaten down by the Law Enforcers, to now being able to get up after being beaten and still manage to barely continue taunting the Law Enforcers.

Chen Qing’s close combat skills had improved, and her body’s recovery speed had increased significantly.

All this was achieved through exploiting the Half-Skeleton Curse.

During one of the countless times when her ribs were shattered by a kick from the Law Enforcers, Chen Qing suddenly thought of Jia.

It seemed that Jia’s body was also plagued with many curses.

Was this what they called fighting poison with poison?

As long as the curses were strong and numerous enough, and each curse’s core was thoroughly understood,

then both body and spirit could achieve a terrifying balance.

"Achoo—"

Sitting in the kitchen of the Demon Dragon Pirate Ship and having a late-night snack, Jia suddenly sneezed.

She couldn’t help but shiver, holding her arms, feeling something she had never felt before.

"Boss, did you just sneeze?!"

Youan looked at Jia next to him with a shocked expression, knowing all too well how resilient her physique was.

The cold outside was definitely not enough to affect Jia.

What was going on?

"It’s nothing."

Jia waved her hand nonchalantly, though her heart was not as calm.

That moment, she had suddenly felt as if someone had seen right through her.

With the vast number of monsters and curses sealed in her body, Jia’s intuition was exceptionally sharp.

"Could it be your..."

Xue Po asked with furrowed brow and concern.

Xue Po was the person on the ship who knew Jia best, and was very familiar with Jia’s physical condition.

Just like Chen Qing had guessed, Jia had the bloodline of a Voodoo Witch and had been born with curses in her body.

Many Voodoo Witches died from these curses, but Jia did the opposite.

She used the curses within her body to collect various terrible curses, maintaining a terrifying balance between her body and spirit.

The more formidable the curse, the greater the benefits for her.

Ordinary curses simply did not catch Jia’s eye, nor could they compete with the curses in her body.

But if this balance was ever disrupted, Jia would fall into an irreparable state.

By then, even death would be a luxury for her.

This was the price she had to pay.

Chen Qing, wanting to harness the Half-Skeleton Curse, naturally also had to pay a corresponding price.

Her price was the torment of her body.

However, the effects were quite significant.

For Chen Qing, as long as it could enhance her strength, it was hardly anything.

Unimaginable brushes with death had already accustomed Chen Qing to this sensation, and her threshold for pain had increased a lot.

She was even considering whether to make the Half-Skeleton Curse permanent.

[Congratulations to survivor Chen Qing for her Physical Attribute breakthrough to D-level.]

[Congratulations to survivor Chen Qing for her Spirit Attribute breakthrough to D-level.]

Without spending a single Extraordinary Point, Chen Qing’s physical and spirit attributes had broken through under the torment of the Half-Skeleton Curse and the Law Enforcers.
