Inside the cave, Yu Xiaogang felt the surging power within him, unable to hide the delight on his face.
Strong—far too strong!
It was countless times stronger than the pitifully weak Soul Power he had possessed before!
With one punch now, he could have beaten his former self into eighteen hundred pieces!
He could clearly feel the violent blood and qi within him, like a towering flood, and he could even sense his physical body continuously growing stronger!
"Heh heh heh, well? Not bad, right? This is the power of the new medicine I spent a hundred years researching."
Wu Xian looked at the delighted Yu Xiaogang, unable to suppress his satisfaction.
His new medicine had indeed been correct. Look, look, look at those gleaming muscles, that bald head—no matter how one looked at him, he was a powerhouse of the physical path!
If the original Yu Xiaogang had carried a trace of scholarly elegance, then now there was only one phrase to describe him—terrifyingly ferocious!
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stood over three meters tall. His weight was unknown, but judging by those terrifyingly bulging muscles, he was certainly no lightweight. Though his face remained the same, he somehow exuded an incomparably savage aura, especially those eyes, which brimmed with brutality.
His overall appearance resembled an Ancient Fierce Beast that had taken human form!
On Douluo Continent, at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang on the Light Screen, the stunned look in her eyes plain to see.
Her Yu Xiaogang had once been so dashing and refined, so gentle and cultured, but now...
It was practically fair to say he was no longer the same species...
"Although Yu Xiaogang has changed drastically, he has indeed gained the power he once longed for," Qian Daoliu said with a sigh, naturally aware of Bibi Dong's feelings for Yu Xiaogang.
"But is it worth turning oneself into this just for power...?"
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's too late to say now. It has already become reality. Besides, did Yu Xiaogang have a choice? Clearly, he had no room to choose. When all was said and done, he was simply too weak—so weak that he did not even have the right to refuse."
Yes, Xiao Gang did not even have the strength to refuse.
Thinking of the scene where Yu Xiaogang had been forcibly fed medicine by that crazed old man, Bibi Dong's heart ached without pause.
Xiao Gang...
Elsewhere, at Shrek Academy, Flender and Liu Erlong, fellow members of the Golden Iron Triangle, looked at each other.
The Yu Xiaogang on the Light Screen and the Yu Xiaogang they had known best in the past had little in common besides still being human...
"Come to think of it, Xiao Gang's strength has increased so much that he no longer needs the two of us to help him. He alone can summon the Golden Holy Dragon. Is there still any need for our Golden Iron Triangle to exist?"
As the Soaring Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, Flender could not help but sigh.
In his view, every member of the Golden Iron Triangle had once possessed their own specialty. The Golden Iron Triangle could not do without any one of them.
Moreover, the Golden Holy Dragon required the combined Martial Souls of all three of them to be summoned.
But now, the two of them were still the Soaring Horn and the Slaughtering Horn, while the Horn of Wisdom of old, no matter how one looked at him, no longer had anything to do with wisdom...
"Indeed, Xiao Gang can now summon the Golden Holy Dragon all by himself."
Hearing this, Liu Erlong nodded, somewhat despondent.
"So our Golden Iron Triangle no longer has any reason to exist."
"Yes..."
There was one thing neither of them said.
On Douluo Continent, the Golden Holy Dragon was indeed a top-tier Martial Soul, but in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, what the hell was a Golden Holy Dragon?
They had not forgotten in the slightest the scene where the Golden Holy Dragon, once a top-tier Martial Soul on Douluo Continent, had been smashed to pieces by a leaf from an ancient tree in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!
Did such a Golden Holy Dragon still have any reason to exist for the current Yu Xiaogang?
In truth, just as they had thought, Yu Xiaogang no longer had any need for his Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul.
Thus, while taking the medicine, an idea struck him, and he directly used the Golden Holy Dragon as a vessel to refine it into a Cave Heaven belonging solely to himself!
He intended to use it as his trump card and kill that bastard who had tortured him half to death the moment he found the right opportunity!
You think I'm still in the Blood Transporting Realm, but I'm actually already in the Hole Heaven Realm!
Of course, in reality, Wu Xian had long seen through Yu Xiaogang's little scheme.
Not to mention that his own realm had reached the Inscription Realm, where however many Hole Heaven Realm cultivators came before him would simply die, was the so-called Hole Heaven Realm Yu Xiaogang believed himself to possess really the Hole Heaven Realm?
The cultivation system of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had been perfected by countless immortal predecessors. Every step had undergone innumerable trials and validations. How could a mere Yu Xiaogang possibly alter it?
Did that lump of junk of his deserve to be called a Cave Heaven?
Wu Xian simply saw through it without exposing it. After all, this was quite a good test subject. He still wanted to see how far the test subject could ultimately go, so he had to give him some hope!
"Alright. Next, properly consolidate your realm. Remember to cleanse your body every day with the Fierce Beast True Blood I have hunted. After eighty-one days, you should reach the level of lifting thirty to fifty thousand jin with one arm, enough to rival ordinary geniuses. When that time comes, I'll use the new medicine to help you condense a Cave Heaven."
Yu Xiaogang nodded without speaking, but a fierce glint flashed through his eyes!
Just wait. I will definitely endure this!
Until...
Just as Yu Xiaogang was preparing to endure humiliation and bide his time, Hu Liena looked at the circle of chirping beauties around her and felt her head throb.
Ever since arriving ten days ago in this place called Xuanming Prefecture, she had discovered that the sky was so blue, the land so vast, and the air so sweet.
With just a casual deep breath, she could feel her Soul Power growing explosively. Merely taking one deep breath had raised her Soul Power by an unknown number of levels. Even the quality of her Soul Power had undergone an extraordinarily terrifying change, to the point where it could no longer even be described as Soul Power!
At the same time, at the very moment her Soul Power transformed, her Martial Soul and Spirit Rings had completely merged into her body, utterly becoming a part of her own power!
If her former Martial Soul, Spirit Rings, and Soul Power had looked colorful and dazzling but possessed little actual might, at least compared to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, then her current power had become solid and substantial.
Heaven knew how delighted and shocked she had been at the time!
Of course, she now knew that the power flowing through her body was no longer Soul Power. It should be called Spiritual Power...
The only thing that annoyed her was that she had somehow signed up for some kind of beauty contest. She had already been in this world for ten days, yet she had learned very little. If this continued, how was she supposed to explain herself to her teacher, the Pope, when she returned to Douluo Continent a year later...?
Still, there was Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei. Though she did not know how he was doing now, given Ghost Douluo's strength and the cleansing of this world's Heaven and Earth Essence, he should be even stronger than she was, right?
Even without her, Ghost Douluo should be able to gather an enormous amount of intelligence with his abilities.
And there was Qian Renxue as well. Hu Liena knew Qian Renxue's great reputation. With Qian Renxue's abilities, she would surely be able to obtain plenty of crucial information too.
Thinking about it that way, she did not seem all that important after all...
"Hu Liena, come on. Let's go collect today's provisions together."
