Cleansing Marrow and Tendons, Whis's Amazement

Universe 7, Destroyer God Realm.

At this moment.

Whis stood in place, his gaze fixed on someone sitting cross-legged atop a large boulder in the Destroyer God Realm.

Perhaps it was due to the inheritance between Destroyer Gods, but back in the day, Lord Beerus used to train on this very same rock!

And now, the next Destroyer God of Universe 7 had also chosen to train on this stone.

Beyond sighing at the workings of fate, Whis had no other thoughts on the matter.

"Whis."

The Oracle Fish's voice rang out from nearby as it revealed its entire body.

The fish was partially submerged in the water contained within a flask at the top of a staff, with the rest of its body draped over the rim.

The staff floated in mid-air, bringing the Oracle Fish to the same level as Whis.

The Oracle Fish looked toward Mu Yang, who was sitting with his eyes closed, and asked in confusion, "What is he doing?"

Whis smiled faintly, unfazed.

"He is likely training some kind of technique. In any case, we shall see if we keep watching."

"Oh...?"

The Oracle Fish turned to glance at Whis before looking back with curiosity.

What kind of technique could require such intense focus? It was so exciting, truly exciting!

The Oracle Fish's eyes lit up.

Mu Yang sat cross-legged on the large rock, eyes shut tight. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead and between his brows, and he remained completely motionless.

As time passed, a foul-smelling, pitch-black, sludge-like substance began to seep out from every pore of his body.

"So stinky!"

The Oracle Fish covered its nose and turned to look at Whis, only to notice that his expression had changed.

"Whis, what's wrong?"

"..."

Whis remained silent, his gaze fixed solemnly on Mu Yang.

After a long while, Whis closed his eyes and opened them again, casting a complex look at Mu Yang before speaking:

"His physical constitution has improved."

"Isn't that normal? It must be some kind of body-refining technique."

The Oracle Fish rested its chin on its hand, pondering for a moment.

There were all sorts of bizarre techniques in the universe; it wouldn't be strange for there to be one that could increase physical strength!

"That is not the point..."

Whis let out a long breath, his brows furrowed, his voice trembling slightly.

"His physical constitution has increased by over a hundredfold."

The scene fell into instant silence!

A moment later.

"A hundredfold?!"

A cry rang out, echoing across the Destroyer God Realm. The Oracle Fish gasped!

A hundredfold? What kind of concept was that?

Even the strongest body-refining divine techniques in the God Realm didn't come close! No, the God Realm didn't even have any proper body-refining techniques to begin with.

"It's simply incredible! Where could he have obtained such a cultivation method?"

The Oracle Fish looked at Mu Yang, who was still secreting black filth, its tone filled with complicated emotions.

Watching a monster grow stronger right before its eyes was enough to make even a fish feel miserable.

It was just too demoralizing!

"I just used my staff to search every corner of Universe 7, and I even asked my sister; it turns out this is a divine technique that doesn't exist in any of the twelve universes."

The more Whis spoke, the more complex his tone became, and the more amazement filled his eyes as he looked at Mu Yang.

"I fear he created this himself!"

"Created it himself?"

The Oracle Fish's eyes widened.

Goodness!

Wouldn't that make it even more terrifying?

The Grand Minister, who once pioneered the Ultra Instinct Technique, now stands above all save for one, commanding respect even from Lord Zeno himself.

Reflecting on this, the Oracle Fish's gaze toward Mu Yang shifted instantly.

What kind of monster is this!

"Sigh!"

Whis looked at Mu Yang with a complex expression and said, "I originally intended to cultivate him as the next Destroyer God for Universe 7, but with talent like this, would he really settle for the position of a mere Destroyer God?"

"And how would he react if he knew that becoming a Destroyer God meant binding his life to that of the Supreme Kai?"

"Whis..."

The Oracle Fish clasped its hands behind its head, feigning a carefree attitude to offer comfort. "Don't worry, Whis. Why overthink it? Let the future take care of itself."

"You're right."

Whis's tone lightened accordingly.

"At the very least, he is still our candidate for Destroyer God of Universe 7 for now, though there is one more matter I must attend to."

"What other matter?"

The Oracle Fish's curiosity was piqued again.

"After I told my sister about Mu Yang, she became very interested in our candidate and wishes to meet him."

Whis spoke while gazing toward Mu Yang:

"So, I plan to find some time to take Mu Yang to Universe 6."

"Oh, I see."

The Oracle Fish lost interest; it had no curiosity regarding Universe 6.

Besides, it couldn't go there anyway!

"In any case, before that, let's see how much he improves after practicing this divine technique he created himself."

Whis turned his gaze toward Mu Yang, who was still in the midst of his training.

The Oracle Fish also fell silent and looked over.

Under their watchful eyes, the black substance on Mu Yang's body slowly flowed off, pooling onto the black rock and filling the entire Destroyer God Realm with a foul stench.

Whis waved his staff, shielding them from the odor.

The Oracle Fish breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, once the black substance had been completely expelled, Mu Yang slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them.

He had succeeded!

He had successfully mastered the entry level of the Body Tempering Method!

Maintaining his icy expression, Mu Yang was just about to relax when he suddenly caught the stench emanating from his own body.

"So stinky!"

Only then did Mu Yang realize his entire body was coated in a layer of black, sludge-like substance, turning him into a little black man.

Mu Yang's mouth twitched, his stoic facade nearly crumbling.

Is this what those cultivation practitioners call cleansing the marrow and cutting the essence?

No wonder they always mention that the first time one cleanses the marrow, a black substance is expelled, and it smells terrible.

Looking at it now...

It really does stink!

Even Mu Yang found it hard to bear.

Just then, Mu Yang spotted a large pond, and his eyes lit up.

The Oracle Fish nearby knew exactly what he was planning and hurriedly spoke up:

"No, no, absolutely not! That's my home!"

Hearing this, Mu Yang turned to look at the Oracle Fish, a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, Whis spoke up in time to resolve the awkwardness.

"Mr. Mu Yang, there is a bathroom in Lord Beerus's castle where you can wash up. I will provide you with cleaning supplies."

Mu Yang gave Whis a grateful look.

"Thank you, Whis."

If he had to go on like this, he would surely stink himself to death.

And if he really did die from his own stench, he would truly be the biggest joke among all transmigrators!

Mu Yang turned and flew toward Beerus's castle.
