"Good, very good!" Duan Li chuckled when Bulu agreed to be tempered by him.Previously, during the argument between the son-in-law and the father-in-law, Duan Li had already threw some questions towards Zhulong and Dilong, the Elemental Spirit Origin whether it was possible to increase the realm of monsters or not.
To his surprise, it was actually indeed possible with their help, and there were two methods to achieve this at least.
The first method was simple, but the effects would only be temporary and weak at best. It involves forming a second artificial, tiny monster core that acts as a sort of relay for the main monster core!
By spooling spiritual Qi inside this tiny relay core, its density would be greatly enhanced. When used, the power output would at least be twice as powerful as before!
Of course, this requires the physical body of the monsters to be quite tough, but a diluted version of Duan Li"s blood should be enough to temper the bunch of Komodos so that they can use this method.
The second method, which was the more complicated one, was what Duan Li planned for Bulu. Its effects would be permanent and more powerful than the first method, but the process to achieve that would make those without enough will to choose to die rather than going along with it!
In this second method, there were three pre-conditions and two processes that Bulu has to go through.
The first condition was that - Bulu must already be at the limits of his potential. Second, his elemental attribute must be the same with the Elemental Spirit Origin, and in this case, Zhulong and Bulu were both Fire type, so they were compatible with each other.
These two prerequisite could be considered to have been met by Bulu as of right now.
Third, was that Bulu needed to be able to receive huge influx of spiritual Qi that was more than what his meridians and pathways could normally holds, which was something that was extremely difficult to achieve!
This was why Duan Li had to temper Bulu"s physical and internal body first!
Then, after the three pre-conditions were met, the first process involves the re-forging of the monster core inside Bulu through melting it. This was an extremely excruciating process, akin to swallowing a pot of boiling liquid into one"s stomach!
The second process, would be re-forming the melted monster core!
As the body has been saturated with spiritual Qi more than its normal capacity, the resulting formation of the new monster core would then be denser than how it was originally before!
What this means was that, Bulu"s realm would increase by leaps and bounds!
"First, we need to temper your body." waving his hand, a bottle filled with red liquid appeared on Duan Li"s hand.
Gulp!
"That is.. the blood from the blood pool!" Bulu instinctively lowered his body in a defensive position.
"Go and take a bath there first, we need to open all your acupoints so that you will be able to absorb most of the essence from this blood!" Duan Li pointed towards the magma pool.
Bulu turned his head and gazed at the bubbling magma in front of him. He wanted to curse Duan Li so bad, after all, even if his body was tough like boulders and could handle extreme heat from magma, taking a bath inside one was another different thing altogether!
It was no different than sitting inside a boiling soup, waiting to be cooked and feasted by others!
This was especially the case when he casted a glance towards Duan Li"s wicked smile, as if there were ulterior motives behind all these!
"Hmm?"
Seeing the hesitation from the other party, Duan Li shook his head, "What"s wrong? Don"t tell me that your resolve to avenge your family and kin is only this much?"
Hearing Duan Li mentioning about the family he lost, Bulu grinded his teeth as his eyes flashed.
At this moment, he threw all caution to the wind and jumped.
"Screw you!"
Psshhh!!
AHHHHHHHHH!!
...
"What was that?" Chief Zolak turned his head around as he could hear an agonized roar from the cave where he just exited.
From the looks of it.. it appears to be the voice from his son-in-law and sounded extremely tragic..
"He must be undergoing some intense training or tempering.." he said, convincing himself.
After walking a little bit further, he could finally see a group of his kin by the distance, and due to his huge physique, they had also detected his presence as well at almost the same time.
"Eh? Isn"t that.. Guys, look! Its the chief!"
"Huh? What happened for him to go all the way here? Don"t tell me.. the b.a.s.t.a.r.d are coming at us again?!"
"No wait! It seems to be something else.. his expression doesn"t seem that dire.. and look at his limbs.. there are four of them!"
"His tail is also there! What"s going on?"
They couldn"t help but to feel stunned when they saw the chief coming at them with all his limbs intact.
Furthermore, his face that was usually gloomy from being unable to do anything with their current dilemma was now quite lively, in fact, the latter was even smiling! It was as if there was some sort of good news that he wanted to deliver to them personally!
"Chief, what"s wrong?" they hurriedly asked.
"My family.. today, I have a very good news to tell everyone here!" Chief Zolak said with big smile and beckoned for everyone to gather around him as more and more started to rally together when they saw him.
...
"What? A chance to increase our realm to fight against the Iguanas? Impossible!" said one of the komodos.
The rest nodded suit as most of them found it hard to believe on what their chief just said.
"We can"t trust the words coming out of a human"s mouth! They are a cunning species and could shamelessly play tricks with us!"
The others also began to voice out their similar concerns as well.
Chief Zolak sighed.
"Everybody just calm down for a moment, if the human that I"ve just mentioned were indeed dubious in nature, did you guys think that I would go all the way here to convince you all? Look at my leg and tail, he is the one whom managed to do this!" he said.
"Furthermore, there are nothing left for us to lose here! Rather than waiting for our inevitable death, wouldn"t it be far more better to try for this last chance to turn over the entire situation around?"
Seeing that they were still skeptical with him, he has no choice but to push on.
"I feel that this human was sent here to us for a reason, and this is the very purpose for that! To help us fight against them!"
"Remember what we have lost to those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds? Our griefs, our pain, our sufferings all these years! If we did not take this chance, I fear that there will be no more redemption left for us!"
Hearing the chief mentioning on what they have lost, which includes their loved ones and families, their mind slowly reeled back to the nightmare three years ago, and the flames in their hearts were slowly re-ignited and their blood began to boil furiously once more!
"Are we willing to accept and not avenge our fallen kin?" the chief shouted.
"No! I"m not willing!" a burly old Komodo roared in reply.
"Me too! I have been plagued with the same nightmare every day.. it is time to end this!!" another komodo said.
Soon after, more and more komodos began to express their willingness to trust Duan Li in order to get their revenge!
Chief Zolak nodded at this.
This was the kind of atmosphere he was looking for.
"It"s time to flame this momentum all the way to its peak..!!" he said to himself as his eyes glinted, and his aura started to surge.
"If everyone here are willing to join me in this final cause of ours..." he pointed towards the direction of the nearest ocean with his wooden tail.
"I promise you, that we will not stop until their blood flowed to become rivers that will drown the entire ocean before us!"
BOOOMMM!!
As he said that final piece, his aura exploded with a heroic air to it that immediately engulfed and affected the others!
ROAARRRR!!
Under their combined warcry, the sky began to rattle, the earth started to tremble and the seas seethed together!
It is time for revenge!
