First Hong knocked on his arm.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
He had really become a little golden man.
That said.
The defensive boost from the Indestructible Body of a Vajra was far weaker than Xiao Wu's "Invincible Golden Body." It did not possess absolute defense against anything below god-level.
But it lasted longer.
Each had its own strengths and weaknesses.
First Hong pondered.
If he ate a few more Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums, could he keep strengthening it?
There were plenty of Immortal Herbs anyway. Might as well go for it!
—It definitely wasn't because he was craving them.
He took out a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and wolfed it down in a few bites, casually tossing aside the stem.
The gilded glow over his body grew richer, and the Indestructible Body of a Vajra was indeed strengthening.
It worked!
He immediately took out another one.
"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?!"
Amid a thunderous cry of shock, Tang San darted out like a ghost.
"This is the Immortal Herb, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?!"
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that, when consumed, channels energy through the limbs and blood through the eight extraordinary meridians, allowing one to cultivate an Indestructible Body of a Vajra?!"
"Immortal Herbs are rare beyond measure in the mortal world. How could you possibly have so many?!"
"And you're eating them one after another! The medicinal effects of Immortal Herbs are greatly reduced by repeated consumption. This is such a monstrous waste of heaven's gifts!!!"
Listening to Tang San's heartbroken wail.
First Hong calmly opened his mouth and finished off the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand.
Tang San suffered a crushing blow!
To someone who knew its worth, this was like guzzling Da Hong Pao tea—it drove him mad with envy!!!
Especially when he saw First Hong take out yet another Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Tang San felt as if his heart were about to stop!
"Wait—"
"Nom nom!"
"Hiss—"
Tang San pounded his chest, giving himself CPR.
It hurt!
It hurt too much!
Tang San felt that even if someone pinned him down and cuckolded him with Xiao Wu right in front of him.
It still would not hurt as much as this!
First Hong smacked his lips.
He felt "full." Eating any more would truly be nothing but a waste.
But.
"God of Speed": That's right! That expression! Keep eating, streamer! Stab him in the heart until he dies! User "God of Speed" sent a gift: "God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1 "Nine Color Goddess": Keep going! Don't stop! User "Nine Color Goddess" sent a gift: "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" ×1 User: "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" ×1 User: "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" ×1 "Nine Color Goddess": Eat them all right in front of him!
Another ten Immortal Herbs in a row, with the condition that he start an eating stream.
What else could he do?
He would treat it as an all-you-can-eat Immortal Herb buffet.
He continued taking out Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums, munching through them bite by bite.
Tang San's heart ached so badly!
He pounded his chest and stomped his feet even harder, wishing he could snatch the Immortal Herbs away!
But the last shred of Tang San's reason told him that if he actually made a move, he would definitely get beaten senseless.
—After consuming Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums one after another, just how strong would that Indestructible Body of a Vajra's defense be?
He could probably stand there and let Tang San attack, and even hidden weapons would not break through his defense.
Tang San's guess was not wrong.
First Hong's Indestructible Vajra Technique could greatly increase its defense by pouring in more Soul Power.
At its limit, it was invincible below god-level.
And as long as he had enough Soul Power, he could keep it active indefinitely.
Tang San's little hidden weapons were not even worthy of scratching an itch.
Unfortunately.
First Hong saw himself as a "mage," so the greatest use of the Indestructible Body of a Vajra was just showing off.
Precisely because of that.
Tang San's heart hurt even more!
At least when a cow chewed peonies, it got full. You were just satisfying your mouth?!
As the pain went on.
For the sake of his own life, Tang San could only close his eyes and stop looking.
First Hong raised an eyebrow.
Not looking?
But he still had to listen, right?
"Burp~~~"
"I'm a little stuffed from eating. Does anyone want some?"
"It tastes amazing."
Tang San abruptly opened his eyes!
He saw First Hong rubbing his stomach, looking troubled as he stared at half a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand.
He couldn't eat any more?
Were you even human?
"Me! Give it to me!" Tang San said, his eyes red. "I want it."
"Swish!"
First Hong swallowed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in one bite, as skillfully as if he were eating skewers.
Then, holding the bare stem, he looked at Tang San in confusion.
"Huh? You wanted it?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Then I wouldn't have had to force it down."
Tang San: ↓
(▼八▼)
Damn it!
I want to kill this guy so badly!
But he had to forcibly suppress his anger and squeeze out a smile.
"If you have any other Immortal Herbs, I can help you eat them."
"Are you stupid?" First Hong sneered. "You know the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is an Immortal Herb too. If half of one can't be preserved, I can give it away, but why would I give you a whole one? Am I your dad?"
Tang San: ↓
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
You have chosen the path to death!!!
Kill, kill, kill!!!
Aaaahhh!!!
Tang San nearly crushed his teeth from gritting them, murderous intent surging within him!
Yet he could not beat First Hong at all, so he could only hold it in.
Which made him! Even! Angrier!!!
"Little San, is it really that serious?" Xiao Wu asked curiously. "What are Immortal Herbs? Do you need to get this angry?"
"You don't understand!"
Tang San's face twisted viciously. He decided he could not suffer alone.
He enunciated every word—
"Immortal Herbs! Their full name is Immortal Grade Herbs!"
"Immortal Herbs are born from the heaven and earth's miraculous creations and possess the power to defy fate itself!"
"This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum alone channels energy through the limbs and blood through the eight extraordinary meridians after consumption, allowing one to cultivate an Indestructible Body of a Vajra. It can also raise one's level by at least five levels! At least!"
"And there are no side effects whatsoever!"
"Now tell me, am I overreacting?"
Xiao Wu's mouth hung slightly open, unable to close for a long while.
That powerful?
The others also widened their eyes. Such miraculous things existed?
Then they recalled how First Hong had just swallowed Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums one at a time.
Their hearts felt as though they were being gripped, aching so much they did not even want to beat!
But Tang San continued stabbing them in the heart—
"For Immortal Herbs of the same type, the first consumption produces the best effect. After that, their medicinal effects will greatly diminish!"
"Starting from the third one, a large amount of medicinal power will accumulate in the body, doing more harm than good!"
"You ate eleven in a row?"
"If they were given to someone else, they would at least become Title Douluo!"
"Immortal Herbs should exist only in heaven; how rarely are they found in the mortal world?"
"What a waste of heaven's gifts!"
"What a waste of heaven's gifts!!!"
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, the two assault-type Soul Masters, were in so much pain that they sucked in huge breaths of air!
They tried to use their swollen lungs to prop up their shattered hearts.
Eleven Immortal Herbs!
Any one of them could raise Soul Power by five levels!
And judging by that Indestructible Body of a Vajra, the boost in defense was surely not small.
At the very least, it was a ten-thousand-year defensive Soul Skill, right?
What a waste of heaven's gifts!
The non-assault-type members of Shrek felt their hearts twitching as well.
Especially Flender, who was a Soul Sage. He understood even more clearly that the true core of this Immortal Herb lay in—channeling energy through the limbs and blood through the eight extraordinary meridians!
He had obtained Spirit Hall's Soul Power circulation routes from Yu Xiaogang.
He knew of the existence and importance of meridians.
Unfortunately, he had learned too late. Many meridians had never carried Soul Power before and were already clogged with stagnant buildup.
If he could get an Immortal Herb to clear those meridians.
He would surely break through to level 79, perhaps even charge straight to level 80!
So.
First Hong had smacked his lips and squandered eleven chances at a breakthrough?
It hurt!
It hurt too much!
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums were not even theirs.
So why did their hearts hurt so much?
People accustomed to hardship would lose their minds with jealousy when they saw someone else take one bite from a lavish feast and dump the rest—the vast disparity was enough to drive anyone mad!
—Why couldn't that person be me?
If it had been another student, Flender would definitely have harshly criticized such wastefulness and conveniently confiscated some scraps.
But First Hong.
He could not beat him.
And this guy really would kill.
So he could only turn his head away in humiliation, out of sight and out of mind.
Yet the blockage in his chest only grew worse.
This was probably—
The more you endured, the more you felt cheated; the more you stepped back, the angrier you became!
"Everyone's here—huh? First Hong, you're all golden too?"
Woohoo~ We passed the PK!
