Although Qian Renxue had no idea that everything she did was being livestreamed, she slowly began removing her clothes. However, the Mysterious Girl, the mastermind behind the scenes at Shrek Academy on the distant Douluo Continent, had been watching closely. Seeing that the Live Stream Room was about to be shut down, she immediately censored it manually, drawing a wave of anguished cries from the Douluo Continent.
While everyone on the Douluo Continent wailed over being unable to watch certain adults-only scenes, Qian Renxue had already slipped into the medicated bath Lin Wanwan had specially prepared for her.
"Xiao Xue, remember this: true cultivation has never been merely about tempering the body. You must also comprehend the primordial runes and truly touch upon the source of heaven and earth. Otherwise, no matter how powerful your body becomes, you will never reach the pinnacle."
At this moment, Qian Renxue truly felt like crying. She had never imagined it would hurt this much. If giving birth hurt this badly, she would rather never have children for the rest of her life.
In just a short while, she felt as though the pain had nearly driven her soul out of her body.
Not only did she have to endure the agonizing pain that nearly made her cry as she tempered her body, but she also had to force herself to stay alert and listen carefully as Teacher Lin, Lin Wanwan, explained the Blood Transporting Realm in detail.
"Never underestimate the Blood Transporting Realm. This is the first stage of truly stepping onto the path of cultivation. Generally speaking, it is already impressive if one person out of ten thousand can formally enter the Blood Transporting Realm, because the requirements are simply too harsh. This is an extremely difficult road to walk."
"At this realm, you must not only mobilize the vital blood throughout your entire body and make it surge through your veins like rolling thunder, but also refine ancient script so that Divine Radiance is born from the blood, thereby tempering the creation of heaven and earth and nourishing the body..."
As Lin Wanwan carefully recalled what her teacher had taught her, she patiently explained it to Qian Renxue, her newly accepted Junior Sister. At the same time, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
As the saying went, reviewing the old could lead to new insights. Lin Wanwan discovered that her cultivation was actually improving without her realizing it!
Just as Qian Renxue was being tormented half to death by pain due to her carelessness, Yu Xiaogang, who had been smashed into grievous injury and left on the brink of death by a tree leaf, was also rescued.
Only...
"Old man, although I'm grateful that you saved me, could you please let me down?"
Looking at the Old Figure who was brewing something unknown, Yu Xiaogang, hanging in midair, was covered in cold sweat.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, the Old Figure slowly turned around and sized him up from head to toe, his grin nearly splitting to the back of his ears.
"Ha ha ha! Good child, you're finally awake. Don't worry, there's no one else here besides me. It's very safe. No one will hurt you."
It's precisely because there's no one here but you that I'm worried!
Seeing the unmistakably crazed look in the Old Figure's eyes, Yu Xiaogang began sweating even harder.
He had seen this sort of gaze before in certain Soul Masters who had become obsessed with their research to the point of madness. It was an obsession that would stop at nothing to achieve its goals, one that could trample upon life without hesitation for the sake of their so-called truth!
"Old man, please calm down. You can see that I'm still injured. If you keep hanging me like this, I might just die."
"Die? Don't worry, you won't. I've already healed your injuries. As repayment, you can help me test my medicine. That's fine, isn't it?"
"Rest assured, as long as this medicine succeeds, it will bring you nothing but benefits. You'll be able to consolidate your current Blood Transporting Realm strength and perhaps even advance further, reaching the level of a genius cultivator—possessing the strength to lift twenty thousand, or even thirty thousand jin with one arm in the Blood Transporting Realm."
"If you're lucky enough, you may even use this chance to condense a Cave Heaven and step into the Hole Heaven Realm in one go. By then, although your foundation might be somewhat unstable, you would still be a genuine Hole Heaven Realm cultivator."
"For trash like you, already over thirty and not even having touched the threshold of the Blood Transporting Realm, that would count as ascending to the heavens in a single step, wouldn't it?"
The Old Figure's words left Yu Xiaogang silent. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly asked,
"Then... what if I'm unlucky?"
"If you can't withstand the medicinal power, you'll explode on the spot."
Yu Xiaogang: ...
I don't want to be a guinea pig!
Perhaps seeing Yu Xiaogang weeping tears of joy and constantly twisting his body in excitement (Yu Xiaogang: Are you sure?), the Old Figure nodded in satisfaction.
"Kid, from the first moment I met you, I knew you and I were the same kind of people. We're both willing to sacrifice ourselves for our research. I'm sure you also think it's an honor to sacrifice yourself for my research, right?"
"Don't worry. Once my research produces results, your name will surely go down in history. The entire Eight Regions will remember your name."
"By the way, what was your name again?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression became even uglier. If he were not afraid that angering this madman would get him killed ahead of time, he would have started cursing already.
You don't even know my name, yet you say I'll go down in history? Go down in history my ass!
Besides, what does your Eight Regions' history have to do with Yu Xiaogang of the Douluo Continent?!
Before long, the Old Figure's medicine was ready. Carrying the bowl, he walked over to Yu Xiaogang. Ignoring his struggles, he forced open his mouth and desperately poured it down his throat.
"Don't worry. My medicine works very quickly. Soon, you'll feel your strength surge dramatically."
"You must circulate the medicinal power with all your might, using it to temper your body and condense the Divine Radiance within you. Only then will you get through this safely."
"Don't resist. Just drink obediently. Resistance is useless."
"Hehehehe, the more you resist, the more excited I become."
At Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent, Liu Erlong, the Slaughtering Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle and Yu Xiaogang's former lover, could not help turning away. A flash of sorrow passed through her eyes, followed by overwhelming fury and killing intent.
She truly had feelings for Yu Xiaogang. Seeing the man she loved treated like this, how could she not feel sorrow and rage?
"Damn it! I told you those old scholars were all lunatics! Looks like I was right!"
Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy and the Soaring Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, could not help cursing aloud.
He had never been this furious in his life. His good brother had first been nearly killed by a tree leaf, and after finally being rescued, the person who saved him turned out to be a madman.
This was practically giving someone hope, only to plunge them into despair again!
Meanwhile, Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were also at Shrek Academy, wore equally grim expressions.
They had originally thought that once Master was saved, he would surely survive without issue. Who would have thought that the person who rescued him was actually a pervert, making their joy completely premature?
"San Ge, Master will be all right, won't he?"
Tang San nodded forcefully.
"Don't worry. Master is blessed by fate; he'll definitely be fine. Didn't that madman say so? Although the medicine will make someone explode if they cannot endure its power, as long as they can withstand it, it will let Master ascend to the heavens in one step, crossing the Blood Transporting Realm in a single breath and reaching the Hole Heaven Realm. I believe that with Master's talent, he'll definitely be the latter. Trust me, Master will absolutely be the latter."
"Mm, I also believe Master will surely overcome this trial and ascend to the heavens in one step!"
At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong felt as though her heart were about to shatter.
Why did her lover have to be treated like this while she could do nothing at all...
She clenched the scepter in her hand tightly. Veins bulged on the back of her hand, her knuckles turned white, and the killing intent in her eyes was impossible to conceal.
There was no doubt that if Bibi Dong went to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands at this moment and happened to land beside Yu Xiaogang, she would absolutely fight the Old Figure to the death for Yu Xiaogang.
If she could win, she would save Yu Xiaogang and take him away from all worldly strife. If she could not, then they would die together—at least they would have each other for company!
