Book 1 Chapter 19.2 – Supreme Expert
“Motherf.u.c.ker, this isn’t some normal pain!” Li Yang clearly felt his own cells popping and new ones appearing before once again popping… His muscles and bones all began to tremble, and his entire body was undergoing transformation…
Black colored energy rushed everywhere. Muscles, bones, meridians, each and every area experienced transformation. This type of transformation caused pain; pain that penetrated the soul!
Each second, each blink of an eye!
Time dragged on, and Li Yang finally understood what ‘a day drags past like a year’ meant.
Ancient people had the ‘dividing muscles and repressing bone’ method, and under the ‘dividing muscles and repressing bone’, no matter who it was, they would all suffer pain as if they were hovering between life or death!
However, the current pain Li Yang dealt with far surpa.s.sed that of the ‘dividing muscles and repressing bone’, as the ‘dividing muscles and repressing bone’ only forcefully caused the muscles and tendons outside the bones to exert pressure. However currently, that frightening black colored energy completely penetrated the inside of the bones, and provoked the muscles and bones from the inside. This type of pain was simply unfathomable If one never previously exposed oneself to this type of suffering.
Wave after wave of trembling, a trembling of the soul!
“I finally understand why there are some test subjects that could not bear the brutalness of this experiment and had their minds collapsed!” Li Yang could unexpectedly still think, and could reflect on such a problem! One needs to understand that all of the other succeeding members of this experiment were in a fainted state at this point. From this, it was also clear just how much stronger Li Yang’s mental const.i.tution was than others.
“Li Yang, do you want Overlord to take action and help you? It’s quite easy. Overlord just needs to slightly control the medicinal strength and make it disperse a bit slower. It’ll be a lot more bearable for you!” Xiang Yu said in this way.
Li Yang coldly and arrogantly replied, “Don’t worry, if I can’t even bear this small amount of pain, how can I, Li Yang, have any future prospects? This pain is simply cultivating my mental fort.i.tude. Moreover, by decreasing the medicinal strength, won’t the experimental time increase?”
When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately said, “Ah, indeed, if Overlord slows down the medicinal effects a bit, then the experiment will be a bit longer. However, Overlord still has a different method. I can seal off your soul from your physical body, and make it so that you cannot feel your physical body’s pain. At that time, your soul wouldn’t feel any trembling, and there wouldn’t be any problems either.”
This was indeed a good method, as severing the connection between the soul and the physical body would make it so that the soul wouldn’t suffer any sort of disturbance. Ordinary people would find it impossible to separate their soul and body, and only after obtaining the Nascent Soul realm could they discard their physical bodies and exist on their own. However, by using his Primordial Spirit, Xiang Yu was capable of making this happen.
“No need! I can bear this small amount of pain!” Li Yang’s voice was grim, and the tremble in Li Yang’s voice obviously could not avoid Xiang Yu’s detection. With even his voice shaking, it was obvious that it wasn’t just some ‘small pain’ as Li Yang claimed.
Si si~~~
Suddenly, waves of green colored energy permeated into the skin.
This green energy was refreshing and comfortable. To a certain extent, it was similar to the energy from the Essence Cleansing Dan, however, the essence wasn’t as pure as the Essence Cleansing Dan. Once this green colored energy entered Li Yang’s body, it was immediately absorbed by the transforming muscles and bones.
Hu! A wave of strong and comfortable feeling completely relaxed Li Yang’s soul, and this was a light and airy feeling.
“This is probably the feeling those heroin users feel!” That green energy made Li Yang, who was previously immersed in suffering, feel much more comfortable.
Ah! Suddenly, a wave of even stronger pain shook his mind, and Li Yang was in even more pain than before.
The pain from the beginning had already reached his limit, and made Li Yang suffer so much that he became numb. However, once this green colored energy entered his body, the sharp contrast between the comfortable feeling and the painful feeling made Li Yang understand what pain and suffering really was.
This was similar to placing one’s hands within ice cold water. Although the cold from freezing your hands until they became numb was painful, it was still bearable. However, if you then took those numb hands and placed them inside boiling water, then that feeling… this is a frank representation of what was happening!
Li Yang was currently undergoing a similar set of circ.u.mstances. That gene medicine’s pain was like the ice water, freezing him until he became numb, and that green energy was like the boiling water. Although it was rather comfortable in the beginning, the powerful contrasting pain became even more powerful as a result.
Bai Yang was currently looking at Li Yang who was within the ‘crystal coffin’. His body was continuously shaking, and those handcuffs and leg irons endlessly groaned. The surface of his skin was a blood red, and blood trickled out from the surface of his skin…
Portion after portion of the precious ‘nutrient fluid’ also penetrated Li Yang’s body. That green colored energy was precisely this nutrient fluid’s energy.
“Although this ‘nutrient fluid’ isn’t as great as the results of the Essence Cleansing Dan, it can still allow Li Yang that brat to feel a bit of comfort. He should be able to bear this type of pain right?” Bai Yang was feeling rather complacent, and he thought that his ‘nutrient fluid’ would give the results of this experiment even more a.s.surance. However, he could not possibly understand that Li Yang was undergoing even more pain…
Hou!
An overcast hou sound rang out from within the depths of his throat as it penetrated the ‘crystal coffin’. Soon after…
Peng. Peng.
Bai Yang’s eyes were as round as b.a.l.l.s, and Li Yang actually caused the handcuffs and leg irons that were made out of the same materials as the experimental bed to snap apart.
Ah!
Suddenly, Li Yang painfully shouted, and his two fists furiously bashed the bed’s covering, or in other words, the cover of the ‘crystal coffin’! Of course, that lid was firmly fastened to the bed of the crystal coffin. However, under the pain that Li Yang was suffering from, it enabled him to display an excessive strength. It unexpectedly smashed open the cover, sending it flying.
Bai Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Ah, breaking free from those handcuffs and leg irons and even sending the lid flying. You have to understand that these materials were all made from recently developed polymers. From previous tests, only a Xiantian expert with over 30,000 crystals of energy were able to succeed in destroying it! It seems like the experiment is going to succeed!”
Li Yang looked like a divine warrior as he stood there, and that cover was already blasted into a corner of the room. However currently, Li Yang actually had his eyes closed…
At the moment, Li Yang was feeling out the powerful energy within his body’s muscles. Suddenly, his face revealed a smiling expression. Just now, in a split second, his suffering momentarily increased by several folds. The intense pain caused Li Yang to madly explode with his powerful potential, actually breaking apart the handcuffs and leg irons that were binding him in place.
Now, Li Yang was clear-headed, and the pain that suddenly spiked by several folds faded away. The first thing the current Li Yang wanted to do was sense his post-transformation body.
What kind of feeling?
Powerful!
Valiant!
Tyrannical!
Li Yang’s smile became even more brilliant. He was now confident that even if a huge boulder were placed in front of him, he would be able to shatter it purely by using his physical strength.
Stream of light rays covered Li Yang’s body, before disappearing soon after.
“15,800 crystals!”
Li Yang stared blankly. Appearing in front of him was a white-bearded old man that was wild with joy, and it was that white-bearded elder that held the testing apparatus in his hands.
Hong! The excited Bai Yang threw the testing apparatus to the ground, and shouted loudly, “Fifth-rank expert, fifth-rank expert ah, success! Haha… I succeeded, I finally succeeded!”
