The Special Chocolate began to be handed out. Every suitable and unsuitable young person present received one.
"All right, friends, now that you have them, eat them. I only have one thing to say: if any of you break through on the spot after consuming the Special Chocolate I handed out, I'll reward each of you with two more pieces of Special Chocolate."
Yun Shenwei's words immediately shocked countless people. They had never expected him to be so generous and bold.
"Eat up! Whoever breaks through first comes out ahead!"
No one knew who shouted it first.
The young men and women who had yet to form a Dou Qi Cyclone immediately grew anxious. They frantically tore open the chocolate wrappers and wolfed them down, each scrambling to be first as though they had not eaten in eight lifetimes. The sight was utterly bizarre...
Some parents even felt their children were eating too slowly and simply forced the chocolate into their mouths, clamped their mouths shut, and shook their heads vigorously.
"Wow, that really is the mindset of petty townsfolk. Looks like people are the same everywhere."
Watching this scene, Yun Shenwei could not help thinking of what he often saw on the streets back on Blue Water Star.
He remembered how some shops would hold promotions and toss everyday household items out of their stores, prompting people outside to scramble desperately to snatch them up.
In truth, those household items were worth very little. Some merchants even threw out unbranded, substandard products. Yet despite that, plenty of people still flocked to grab them.
The reason was simple: human nature was greedy and selfish. If something could be obtained for free, who would refuse it?
"It really works! I can feel my strength continuously rising! At most, I'll break through in three days!"
A young girl shouted from the crowd.
"Really? That's wonderful! Our Lin Family finally has someone who can form a Dou Qi Cyclone! Boohoo... Ancestors of the Lin Family, can you see this? Lin Dong has a chance to fulfill the unfulfilled wish you left behind..."
The girl's father was overwhelmed when he heard this. Tears streamed endlessly down his face as he knelt on the ground and wailed.
The onlookers around him stepped forward to comfort him. For ordinary families like theirs, it was incredibly difficult for a child capable of forming a Dou Qi Cyclone to appear.
In this world where the strong were revered, poor families like theirs simply could not afford Qi Gathering Powder to help form a Dou Qi Cyclone.
Thus, generation after generation, they had remained poor, able only to do the lowliest work for the lowest wages.
"Thank you, Young Master Yun! Thank you, thank you! If you ever have any requests in the future, just say the word..."
As though remembering something, the girl's father turned toward Yun Shenwei and continuously kowtowed in thanks.
"Ah, how can I accept that? I was just an ordinary youth back then. It was only because a Dou Zun took me as his disciple that I was able to stand out within the Yun Lan Sect. My master once told me that he was very pitiful when he was young as well. It was only because his talent was unusual that he was fortunate enough to defy fate and change his destiny. Therefore, he often taught me that one must have a conscience in life and never forget the most ordinary people."
Yun Shenwei was once again borrowing a tiger's might to promote his entirely nonexistent "Dou Zun master."
"He's actually the disciple of a legendary Dou Zun expert. No wonder his talent and potential are so astonishing, and he is such a chivalrous person besides!"
"Incredible. He truly is a young hero..."
"Hahaha, our luck is truly amazing. Before long, we may witness the birth of another powerhouse with our own eyes. Perhaps he might even become the first Fighting God in a thousand years."
The surrounding people began discussing it again. After all, they were people from a small city and had not seen much of the world.
In this place, forget a Dou Wang—even a Dou Ling or Da Dou Shi could dominate the area!
But they could clearly sense that Yun Shenwei, who possessed such heaven-reaching methods, was definitely not a liar spouting nonsense. Moreover, the Yun Lan Sect held an extremely high status in the Gama Empire. It was already remarkable for an ordinary person to enter it. Yet Yun Shenwei had not only entered the Yun Lan Sect, but had also been trained by a Reclusive Expert. That was highly unusual!
Everyone knew that the Yun Lan Sect hated outsiders taking disciples from within its ranks. If anyone were to take them as disciples, it would have to be one of the sect's elders.
Therefore, there was at least an eighty percent chance that Yun Shenwei was telling the truth about his master being a Dou Zun!
Even if Yun Shenwei had exaggerated, his master must still be extraordinary. At the very least, he could not be below the level of a Dou Zong!
Sect Leader Yun Yun was at the Dou Huang realm. Someone capable of making a Dou Huang yield was probably no one below a Dou Zong.
Yun Shenwei had merely said it casually. He had never expected these people to be so good at filling in the blanks that they would think it all through for him...
If Yun Shenwei knew, he would definitely be stunned.
You people are too impressive, aren't you?
You really should go write web novels on Blue Water Star.
Before long, abnormalities began to appear in the bodies of some of the young men and women who had just eaten the Special Chocolate.
"I broke through! I finally formed a Dou Qi Cyclone."
"I succeeded too! Hahaha..."
"I had already failed to form a Dou Qi Cyclone three times before. I never expected this time to go so smoothly. This chocolate is way too amazing."
Voices rang out one after another. With every cry, another young man or woman had successfully formed a Dou Qi Cyclone.
"Incredible! This is truly amazing. This Special Chocolate is actually stronger than Qi Gathering Powder."
"This stuff is practically an essential household item. If any family stocked a few of these, they would never have to worry about their descendants forming Dou Qi Cyclones."
"Even an alchemist's pills probably aren't as impressive as this special food!"
Everyone sighed in amazement. They had lived for most of their lives, whether through personal experience, things they had witnessed, or stories they had heard from others, yet they had never encountered such incredible food.
Qi Gathering Powder truly could help young men and women form Dou Qi Cyclones, but the Special Chocolate was far more effective.
"Everyone, quiet down. Some people have already broken through. As I said earlier, every person who breaks through will receive an additional reward from me. So from now on, everyone who has broken through, come up and claim your prize."
Yun Shenwei signaled for the people around him to quiet down, then began distributing the rewards he had promised.
