Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 196: A Lot of Potential

Chapter 196: A Lot of Potential

Chen Huai’an’s battle of wills with the demonic cancer dragon lasted three days.

For three days, he neither ate nor drank, locked inside the training room.

Within those three days,

His Spiritual Qi completely drained, and his Demonic Qi surged.

The once-mighty cancer dragon had been refined down to just a single head.

It wasn’t that Chen Huai’an took pity on it—

The cancer dragon had threatened to self-destruct, detonating the Dragon Qi inside his body.

"Brat! Don’t push me!"

"The Dragon Qi is under my control!"

"If I make it explode, your body will be torn apart!"

"Oh?"

Chen Huai’an stood on the dragon’s remaining head, looking down.

His clawed fingers patted its snout twice.

"You dare to threaten me?"

"Thanks to your demonic cancer cells,

I’ve already cultivated the First Volume of the Heavenly Demon Technique to the third level."

"My body has become demonic."

"Even if you detonate the Dragon Qi, it won’t do sh*t to me."

His eyes gleamed with malice.

"From today onward—"

"Every time you divide a new demonic cancer cell..."

"I’ll eat one."

"If you don’t divide, I’ll beat the sh*t out of you."

"I will make sure you never know peace!"

"Kekekekeke!"

Faced with the insanity in Chen Huai’an’s eyes,

For the first time, the demonic cancer dragon felt true fear.

And regret.

Previously, when Chen Huai’an ran out of Spiritual Qi,

It had tried to steal Demonic Qi instead.

But the Demonic Qi was uncontrollable—

The moment it absorbed any, it started getting eaten alive.

That’s why it had lost its entire body, leaving only a head.

If not for using Dragon Qi as a last-ditch bargaining chip,

It would have been completely erased.

"I’m going to start cultivating Spiritual Qi again."

"So you’d better work hard..."

"And provide me with more food."

Chen Huai’an lifted his foot off its head, smirking coldly.

Then—he vanished.

Only the blood-colored wolf, formed from his demonic cancer cells, remained.

It glared hungrily at the weakened dragon.

"Motherf—...!"

The cancer dragon’s curses were cut off as the scene faded.

Returning to Reality.

"Damn mutt! You dare threaten me?! I ought to grind your bones to dust!"

Chen Huai’an opened his eyes,

Lowered his hands—

And instantly absorbed all the blood mist inside the training room.

Regular cultivators would waste the excess impurities expelled during body refinement.

But the Heavenly Demon Technique allowed him to recycle it.

Truly worthy of being the number one demonic technique of ancient times—

Even after being altered, it was still absolutely insane.

Chen Huai’an stood up and stretched.

The impurities from his marrow cleansing peeled off his skin like a shattered cocoon,

Revealing bronzed, powerful muscles beneath.

As he moved, his bones crackled like firecrackers.

Stepping in front of the mirror,

He noticed—

His muscles had grown significantly.

His height had also increased.

"I must be at least 1.9 meters now..."

His build was not overly bulky,

But it was getting dangerously close to Baki Hanma levels.

"Damn, if only I could keep absorbing demonic cancer cells endlessly."

Chen Huai’an was very satisfied with his progress.

His "official" cultivation level was still Qi Refinement Second Layer.

But his physical strength alone was easily at Foundation Establishment.

Demonic techniques were fast.

But they also had limitations.

His appetite for new prey was growing.

Soon, demonic cancer cells wouldn’t be enough.

He would need to devour stronger entities.

That was one reason why he spared the cancer dragon.

The Dragon Qi explosion didn’t scare him—

But the Dragon Qi itself was valuable.

He couldn’t just let it go to waste.

Once Li Qingran refined the Hundred Herbs Detox Pill,

The cancer dragon’s usefulness would end.

At that point—

He would slaughter it without hesitation.

"AHHHH! GOVERNOR CHEN!"

"GOVERNOR CHEN IS SO HOT!"

The screams outside the training room snapped Chen Huai’an out of his thoughts.

His eyelids twitched.

He turned—

Only to see a swarm of nurses pressed against the glass.

They were even more excited than three days ago.

All of them had rosy cheeks,

Their hands covering their eyes,

Yet still peeking through their fingers like they had just found a rare treasure.

"Governor Chen has so much potential!"

"WOW! So BIG~!"

Chen Huai’an: "..."

Yes, his muscles had grown.

But—

Wait.

Wait.

His expression froze.

His gaze slowly—mechanically—lowered.

"WHAT THE FK?!"

BOOM!!!

One of the training room walls EXPLODED.

Elsewhere—

Wang Shouyi had just left the medical ward.

Suddenly—

A streak of red light rushed toward him at insane speed.

"This speed...! Could it be a monster?!"

His expression darkened.

This was the Demon Slayer Bureau’s medical center—

It was full of injured personnel and medical staff.

If a sinister entity attacked here...

The casualties would be devastating!

"I have to stop it!"

"VILE BEAST! CEASE AT ONCE!"

Wang Shouyi drew his sword and charged forward.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY! I’M NOT WEARING CLOTHES!"

A furious roar echoed from the blood-red blur.

Wang Shouyi paused mid-strike.

Wait.

Was that...

A person?!

He quickly withdrew his sword—

But that moment of hesitation proved fatal.

BOOM!

Chen Huai’an slammed into him at full speed.

"Guh—!"

Wang Shouyi’s eyes bulged.

He felt like he had just been hit by a half-ton truck.

His vision blurred.

The last thing he saw was the orphanage director from his childhood, smiling at him from the heavens.

"HE’S IN CRITICAL CONDITION! GET HIM TO THE ICU!"

"SH*T, HIS PUPILS ARE DILATING—GET THE DEFIBRILLATOR!"

An Hour Later—

Chen Huai’an sat next to a hospital bed, looking at the mummified Wang Shouyi with a sheepish grin.

"Uh... Bro... Sorry about that.

I was in a hurry and couldn’t stop in time..."

"No problem... I understand... Cough, cough..."

Despite his injuries, Wang Shouyi smiled.

"Governor Chen, you slayed the Bone Porcelain Bodhisattva.

Because of you, countless people were saved.

I... thank you, on behalf of the common people."

Chen Huai’an scratched his head, feeling even more guilty.

He had expected Wang Shouyi to be angry.

To demand compensation.

To curse him out.

But saying "thank you"?!

This guy was too pure-hearted!

"Damn..."

"This kind of guy would make an EXCELLENT grunt for the C-Province Demon Slayer Bureau."

"Brother, I like you."

"Why don’t you join my Demon Slayer Bureau?"

"I promise—TOP-TIER benefits!"

At that moment—

A voice interrupted them.

"Wang Shouyi, don’t be fooled."

A stranger entered the room.

"That man—Chen Huai’an—is nothing but a fraud!"

Chen Huai’an turned—

His gaze darkened.

The newcomer ignored him entirely, stepping toward Wang Shouyi.

"I am Lin Hao—heir to the Lin Family.

If you join us, I will make you the official Governor of J-Province!"

"...Hoh?"

Chen Huai’an’s smirk returned.

"Interesting."
