Super Master (Part 2)

"Damn it, this isn't just ordinary pain!" Li Yang clearly felt his muscle cells rupturing and then regenerating into new cells... his bones began to tremble, and every moment brought a new change to his bones...

Black energy surged through every part of him – muscles, bones, meridians – everything was undergoing a transformation. But this transformation was agonizing, soul-piercingly painful!

Every second, every instant!

Time crawled, and Li Yang finally understood the true meaning of "a day felt like a year."

The ancients had a secret technique of bone-setting and muscle separation, under which even the strongest hero would be in excruciating pain, wishing for death!

But Li Yang's current suffering far surpassed that. Bone-setting and muscle separation at least applied pressure to the bones and muscles from the outside. Now, however, the terrifying black energy was completely penetrating the bones from within, stimulating them internally. This kind of pain was unimaginable if you hadn't experienced it yourself.

Tremors wracked him, tremors of the soul!

"I finally understand why some test subjects couldn't bear the experiment and died from nervous breakdown!" Li Yang could still think, still ponder problems? It was worth noting that even the successful test subjects were almost in a comatose state. This showed that Li Yang's mental fortitude was far greater than others.

"Li Yang, do you want this Hegemon to help you? It's simple, I just need to control the potion's potency a little, slow down its effects, and you'll be able to bear it more easily!" Xiang Yu's voice chimed in like a savior's.

Li Yang replied with cold pride, "Don't worry. If I can't endure this minor pain, how can Li Yang amount to anything in the future? This pain is just tempering my mind. Besides, if you slow down the potion's effects, won't the experiment take even longer?"

Xiang Yu exclaimed, "Ah, indeed. If this Hegemon slows down the potion's effects, the experiment will indeed take longer. However, I have another method: I can isolate your soul from your body, so you won't feel the physical pain. Then your soul won't experience any shock or have any problems."

This was indeed a good method. Severing the connection between the soul and the body would naturally prevent the soul from being affected. Ordinary people couldn't isolate their souls from their bodies; only after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage could one exist independently of the body. However, Xiang Yu could achieve this with his Primordial Spirit power.

"No need! I can still endure this little pain!" Li Yang's voice was very cold, but Xiang Yu could clearly hear the slight tremor in it. His voice was shaking, indicating that the pain was clearly not the "little pain" Li Yang claimed it to be!

"Hiss hiss~~~"

Suddenly, streams of green energy penetrated his skin.

This green energy was cool and comfortable. In a way, it was very similar to the energy from a Marrow Cleansing Pill, though not as pure. As soon as this green energy entered Li Yang's body, it was instantly absorbed by his constantly evolving bones.

"Hoo!" A feeling of extreme comfort caused Li Yang's soul to completely relax. He felt as if he were floating.

"I bet this is how those who use heroin feel!" The green energy made Li Yang, who was completely immersed in pain, feel much better.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a more intense pain shocked his nerves, making Li Yang feel even more agony.

The initial pain had reached its limit, making Li Yang numb with suffering. However, the entry of this green energy, the comfortable feeling creating a stark contrast with the pain, made Li Yang truly understand what unbearable suffering was.

It was like this: imagine a person placing their hand in ice water. Their hand becomes numb from the cold, and although it's freezing, they can still endure it. But if you were to then place that numb hand into hot water... the sensation would be indescribable!

Li Yang was in this very situation. The pain from the gene potion was like ice water, making him almost numb with pain. The green energy was like hot water; although it provided a brief moment of comfort by neutralizing the cold, the intense contrast brought about even greater suffering.

Bai Yang was watching Li Yang's body, lying in the Crystal Coffin, trembling violently on the surface. The shackles and handcuffs also let out groans, and his skin even turned blood-red, with fine blood seeping out from the surface...

Streams of precious nutrient solution were also penetrating Li Yang's body. That green energy was the energy from this nutrient solution.

"Although this nutrient solution isn't as effective as a Marrow Cleansing Pill, it should make this kid Li Yang feel a bit more comfortable. I believe he can endure such intense pain!" Bai Yang felt quite pleased with himself, believing his specially formulated nutrient solution would make the experiment safer. But he had no idea that Li Yang was actually suffering even more...

"Roar!"

A low growl, emanating from the depths of his throat, sounded from the transparent Crystal Coffin, followed by...

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Bai Yang's eyes widened. Li Yang had actually broken free from the handcuffs and shackles made of the same material as the experimental bed!

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Li Yang let out a roar of pain, smashing his fists fiercely onto the lid of the experimental bed. Or rather, it was the lid of the Crystal Coffin! Of course, the lid was completely secured to the Crystal Coffin. But under Li Yang's intense pain, unleashing abnormal strength, he actually blasted the lid off!

Bai Yang's eyes lit up: "Ah, he broke free from the handcuffs and shackles, and smashed the lid off. You must know that these materials are newly developed polymer materials. The initial tests showed that only Xiantian experts with an energy level of over 30,000 crystal could succeed! It seems the experiment is going to be a success!"

Li Yang stood like a god of war, the lid having been blasted into a corner. But Li Yang's eyes were closed at this moment...

Li Yang was currently feeling the immense power contained within his muscles and bones. A slight smile appeared on his face. In that final moment, the pain had intensified several times over. Under this intense pain, Li Yang had unleashed his extraordinary potential, managing to violently break free from the handcuffs and shackles that bound him.

Now Li Yang was awake. The pain, which had multiplied several times in the final moment, had vanished. The first thing Li Yang did now was to feel his transformed body.

How did it feel?

Powerful!

Tough!

Formidable!

Li Yang's smile grew even brighter. He even believed that if a giant boulder were placed in front of him, he could shatter it with pure strength alone!

A beam of light shone onto Li Yang's body, and then the light disappeared.

"15800 crystal!"

Li Yang opened his eyes and saw an ecstatic old man with a white beard, holding a testing device.

"Boom!" The excited Bai Yang slammed the testing device onto the ground, shouting, "Level five expert, a level five expert! It's a success, haha... I succeeded, I finally succeeded!"
