Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Leo looked at her with a disappointed gaze. Each time Sherly opened her mouth, she sounded more and more like a horny teenager.

"Let's begin. And don't try anything funny. Even without my bodysuit, I am still strong."

Nanites were always active inside his body. It was a constant stream of power that didn't stop. And, with his knowledge and experience, Leo was sure that he could defeat anyone that came his way.

"Of course. I won't try anything weird, I swear."

"You better."

Leo said and sat down, his expression serious.

He had prepared his mind and body, ready to enter a deep state of meditation. Nanites would help him block everything he didn't need and could bother with his training.

Placing his hands on his thighs, he nodded at Sherly, indicating that he was ready.

The girl didn't say anything and sat behind him. She put her palm on his bare back, and a gentle glow covered her. White Qi started to gather around her arms, and the glow intensified.

"I will enter you now."

"Don't say it in a way that can be misunderstood." Leo sighed and closed his eyes. "Do whatever you have to do."

"Yes, yes. Sorry, Boss."

The woman chuckled, and the light around her changed. It began to move toward Leo's body, entering him slowly and gently.

"Ugh!"

Soaring pain attacked him almost immediately when Qi entered his body, as if something was burning him from the inside. He could feel his muscles tensing and his breathing became shallow.

"Hold on, Boss. This will hurt a bit."

A bit wasn't enough to explain it. Leo had already commanded his Nanites to reduce the pain and helped the Qi flowed better. If a normal person tried this method, wouldn't they die instantly? The pain itself could make anyone faint or worse.

But, he was not a normal person.

'Let's just get this over with.'

Taking a deep breath, Leo forced himself to concentrate. He tried to feel the strange energy that flowed inside his body, but he couldn't feel it. No matter how he tried it, he couldn't feel this strange energy.

'Could it be that my Nanites are interfering?'

He frowned and tried to focus,

'No, it can't be. There's no way... Should I try doing it without Nanites' help?'

Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound, a sound that he had heard before.

[Warning! Dangerous energy detected.]

'Dangerous, huh?'

Another person's Qi was destructive when entering one's body. It could disrupt the natural flow of energy and even damage the body. That was why he felt pain when Sherly's Qi entered his body, as it destroyed the flow of his own Qi and caused him to tense up.

But, his Nanites could counter it.

"This is a bad idea." He muttered and smiled wryly.

Even though he could deal with the pain, he couldn't afford to let his concentration drop. Because he couldn't feel the Qi at this level even with Nanites' help, there was only one choice.

"Sherly, send more Qi into my body. I can't feel it at this level."

"But, it will be dangerous. Even now, I bet you're feeling unbearable pain. You're sweating so much already to expel the heat from-"

"Just do it."

Leo interrupted and looked back at Sherly. He was sure that if she increased the Qi level, he would be able to feel it.

"Alright, then I will increase the amount of Qi. Please endure the pain."

"I will."

Sherly didn't ask anything else and nodded. The Qi around her hand trembled slightly before turning into a ball of light. She placed it on Leo's back and closed her eyes.

"Boss, be ready."

"I will."

Leo took a deep breath and concentrated, closing his eyes and blocking the pain. However, what happened later wasn't what he was preparing for.

"Aaaagghh!"

A sudden sharp pain exploded from his back, and Leo gritted his teeth, barely keeping himself awake. His body couldn't bear it, and the Qi began to surge out of control. It was as if a storm was brewing within him, a storm that was ready to destroy anything.

Due to the nature of the Qi that entered his body, it rampaged and threatened to tear him apart.

But, the pain didn't stop there.

Something was growing inside him, a strange, powerful force that couldn't be described by words. A foreign energy that he couldn't feel or even sense, but it was definitely there.

His body shook, and the Qi began to explode.

It was like a volcano, and the power inside him couldn't be contained. It was too much, and Leo was sure that if it was not dealt with, he would die. His inner organs were on the verge of destruction, and his limbs were trembling.

But, the power didn't stop. It was too much for his body. Nanites began to repair the damage at an incredible speed, closing the wound at the same time it appeared. As a result, the Nanites inside his body got used pretty fast, decreasing at an alarming speed that couldn't be recovered.

Your next journey awaits at empire

'Shit!'

Realizing this, Leo forced his concentration back and tried to control the Qi inside his body. The chaotic power was still building, and he had no idea how to stop it.

The good news was, he was able to sense it. He glanced at his status window he opened prior to the training.

[Status Window]

Individual name: Leo

Status: Injured - Treatment is needed

Nanites: 44%

Not even fighting, and his Nanites were dropping. It was the worst case scenario, and Leo knew that if he didn't do anything, he would die.

'I need to recover it fast.'

Thinking so, he threw a Nanites recovering capsule into his mouth and swallowed it. His Nanites immediately recovered by 40% after 3 seconds, but it wasn't enough.

The energy inside his body was still surging, and the damage was beyond his control.

He had to stop it, and fast.

"Control the energy and gather them around the center of your heart. It will be more dangerous than gathering it around your lower dantian, but our bodies are different. We have no dantian that connects our bodies. Instead, we have blood vessels that we can turn into the Qi channel. This is a special technique that I learned and never used it on anyone. It's called Qi Blood, and it allows us to control the energy with more efficiency."

Sherly explained in a hurry, her face pale. She could sense the danger and knew that her boss could die any moment.

"But, you can't gather energy like that, Boss. Gather it slowly and surely. No need to rush. I am ready to accompany you for the whole day here as long as you're fine."

"Heh! I have prepared for this." Leo muttered in a low voice, another capsule shot out from his storage ring into his mouth, replenishing the used Nanites immediately. "I will try this now. Keep channeling the Qi."

"Yes, of course."
