Chapter 180 - Body Transforming Dan
The fourth prince had just turned twenty this year, and he is already at the initial stage of the 5th-rank Spirit realm, while the fifth princess who is thirteen years old is at the peak stage of the 3rd-rank Crusader realm. The fifth princess is also on the verge of breaking through to the 4th-rank Knight Crusader realm after drinking and eating in Jiu Shen’s store. Since there was still two weeks before the competition starts, she still had the chance to increase her strength before the contest begins.
"Wine Master Jiu, I would be happy if you spectate in this coming event. The imperial family and patriarchs of the three great clans would also reward the top ten for this contest. It’s a good opportunity for the young ones to gain experience, so I hope that Wine Master Jiu could bring some of your little disciples to join the fun." Emperor Elyk smiled widely at Jiu Shen to ease up the atmosphere. He didn’t want to talk about the problems that the Silver Wing Empire was facing since it gave him too much headache, luckily, he recalled this annual martial arts competition that would take place in two weeks.
Jiu Shen thought for a moment, before eventually nodding his head. It was indeed not a bad idea to exercise the bones of the one hundred kids that had received his special training all this while. After a month of vigorous physical training and tempering, all of them were already at the 1st-rank Warrior realm, and there were even two kids that stood out among them. One was Yang Zenke who was now at the peak stage of the 2nd-rank Elite Warrior realm, while the other one was Han Sen who was at the early stage of the 2nd-rank Elite Warrior realm.
As to how they improved that much in a short amount of time, it was because of Jiu Shen’s torturous training that was as strict as to how elite soldiers were trained. Besides, the young men also ate spiritual fruits and cultivation pills like they were eating candies. With all those experiences, even an ordinary pig would become a strong savage beast...
"I’m interested in this martial arts competition that you speak about, so I’ll bring some of the little ones that I’ve trained to register in this contest. Aside from that, I will also add something to the rewards for the top ten participants." Jiu Shen’s words made the emperor’s eyes lit up which also made him laugh heartily.
"Hahaha! That’s more like it! In that case, I’ll expect your presence in two weeks, Wine Master Jiu." Emperor Elyk was excited at the thought of Jiu Shen spectating the coming martial arts contest. With his presence, Emperor Elyk was more confident that nothing would go wrong in the event.
After that, all of them talked about other matters as the unplanned celebration continued for the whole night.
* * *
Two days later, inside the beast fighting arena.
A huge cauldron that was almost as big as a mountain can be seen on top of the arena. If one would look closely, this cauldron somehow looked similar to Jiu Shen’s Heaven Trampling Cauldron. In fact, this was indeed the Heaven Trampling Cauldron and Jiu Shen merely increased its size.
Screams of pain and agony reverberated within the cauldron as the bodies of a hundred young men were being soaked in the boiling mixture inside the cauldron.
The faces of the young men were contorted in suffering that they almost looked inhuman. However, none of them stepped out of the cauldron and they all continued to soak their bodies inside.
Yang Zenke was the calmest among them, and he was only shivering in pain as he gritted his teeth, while occasionally letting out muffled groans.
’I want to be strong! I don’t others to look down on me! I will prove to the master that I can become a strong expert! Arghh!’ Yang Zenke shouted in his heart as his figure shook slightly.
Beside him was Han Sen who looked much worse in comparison. His eyes were already bloodshot and his skin had several burnt marks as he let out heavy breaths like a wounded savage beast.
Jiu Shen stood at the opening of the cauldron observing the entire process with cold unblinking eyes. This kind of body tempering might look dangerous and deadly on the surface, but the effect of this special tempering was significant since it could greatly enhance the physical body’s strength.
He was also controlling the temperature of the mixture inside the Heaven Trampling Cauldron just enough for these young men to survive without dying. He wouldn’t allow anyone among them to die, since they would become his arms and legs in the Primordial God Realm!
With a cold expression hanging on his face, Jiu Shen observed the faces of everyone inside the cauldron as he suddenly asked. "Are you in pain?!"
One hundred pairs of bloodshot eyes glanced at him with unbending willpower. Veins protruded on their faces as they replied like snarling wolf cubs. "NO!!!"
Jiu Shen smiled for a brief moment after hearing their answers, but it abruptly turned cold. "Then stay here for another hour!"
Bone-chilling creams of agony echoed non-stop for another hour.
Jiu Shen waved his right hand, producing invisible ropes that tied around the bodies of the young men. He then pulled them out of the piping hot cauldron before bringing them to the arena.
Through the invisible ropes, Jiu Shen injected his true essence to heal the bodies of everyone.
Yang Zenke, Han Sen, and the others felt a soothing sensation enveloping their mutilated bodies, healing them at a discernible speed. The burnt marks on their skins slowly vanished under these calming threads of true essence which also continuously healed their other injuries.
Every one of them felt as if they were desert people who had finally swum in a cool lake after bathing under the sun for several years...
In not less than ten minutes, the injuries of the young men were fully healed and they were now seated cross-legged on the ground as they meditated. All of them had various gains after that torturous body tempering, so they immediately started to consolidate their strengths.
When the emperor had first brought them to Jiu Shen’s store, they were still weak-looking youths with frail bodies, but looking at them now, their bodies were now tanned with explosive and lean muscles. Their once innocent eyes were now painted with maturity and growth.
After another ten minutes, Jiu Shen clapped his hands loudly as he said. "Stand up!"
The young men instantly rose from their feet upon hearing his command. All of them glanced at Jiu Shen while silently waiting for his next orders.
With a wave of his right hand, Jiu Shen handed them one pill each as he said. "The pill in your hands is the 9th-rank Body Transforming Dan which will transform your constitutions. Drink it."
This Body Transforming Dan was a 9th-rank pill that was able to enhance a person’s physical constitution. Even a waste would transform into a peerless genius after eating this pill! However, this kind of pill didn’t exist in Nuar and it could only be seen in the Primordial God Realm. All the young elites of the Primordial God Realm would consume this to enhance their constitution... Now, Jiu Shen had given them the opportunity to change their fates with just a single pill!
They might not know the importance of this because of their inexperience, but they knew that it was something with unequal value especially after they heard that it was a 9th-rank pill!
With slightly emotional expressions, they swallowed the Body Transforming Dan...
