Expend Strength Gu makes an enemy spend more stamina on each movement, doubling that expenditure.
On San Cha mountain, Fang Yuan forces Fei Li to hand over Expend Strength Gu before killing him. Fei Li is a rank four middle stage strength path Gu Master; the Gu is his vital Gu and core Gu. ch. 341
Rank
Fang Yuan lists Expend Strength Gu among his six rank four Gu soon after he takes it. ch. 345
Obtaining and early use
Fei Li hesitates, then surrenders the Gu. Losing his vital Gu triggers heavy backlash and he spurts huge mouthfuls of blood. Fang Yuan accepts the Gu, then says it is not enough to exchange for Fei Li’s life and kills him anyway. ch. 341 Among three rank four demonic Gu Masters Fang Yuan beats in a row on San Cha mountain, this is the only Gu worm he obtains, and only because Fei Li hands it over of his own accord. ch. 345
Second aperture stock
His second aperture still holds rank four Expend Strength Gu among other strength path Gu. ch. 504 That Southern Border copy remains under Northern Plains region suppression with rank four Bitter Strength Gu and Charging Crash Gu. ch. 516
Raising toward rank five
Advancing bitter strength Gu, Expend Strength Gu, and charging crash Gu to rank five would be a huge project needing large amounts of materials and Gu worms. The Gu is used for restricting the strength path and has few applications. When Hei tribe goods have no expend strength Gu for purchase, he accepts that gap. ch. 517
Immortal Gu
Hei Lou Lan activates Expend Strength Immortal Gu from her immortal aperture. That Gu is rank seven and was lent to her by Longevity Heaven in secret. She also holds a killer move that uses Expend Strength Immortal Gu as the core, called seventy-percent expended strength. After the move hits, every action or killer move of the target takes much more effort, by at least more than fifty percent. ch. 2214
