Chapter 99

The climax has just begun!

-------------------------------------------------

In the cup was a liquid that didn’t look like anything good. It was a deep purple, constantly bubbling, somewhat like the mud of a swamp. At this moment, Tang Wulin had no way out. He closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, lifted the metal cup, and drank the liquid in one gulp.

Surprisingly, the taste of the liquid wasn’t as bad as it smelled or looked. After it entered his mouth, it gave a strange warm sensation, slightly sweet and fragrant. It was a bit like the taste of sea urchin, slippery and slimy, sliding down his throat.

The warm sensation instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel incredibly comfortable. Tang Wulin couldn’t help but take a deep breath. This one sip cost him over a million federal coins!

No, probably not even a million would be enough. Although he didn’t actually buy it, the blood of a century-old dragon-type soul beast was a rare and valuable item.

What should I do now? Tang Wulin was slightly dazed for a moment, but then he came to his senses and quickly took two steps back, sitting down cross-legged on the ground.

He didn’t sit on a chair because he was afraid that if his body had any excessive reaction, he wouldn’t fall on the ground.

He focused his mind, meditated, and circulated his soul power. It should be like this, using soul power to catalyze the effects of the potion.

Tang Wulin thought, how will Old Tang help me break the first seal?

At this moment, a strange sensation suddenly came from every corner of his body. It felt as if his blood was boiling, and it seemed that every pore was emitting heat. The sudden intense heat made Tang Wulin groan, almost unable to sit still.

The heat rose, as if he were in a furnace. Sweat poured out, and Tang Wulin’s body began to tremble violently.

From his forehead, a faint web-like golden pattern slowly appeared, spreading throughout his body. These diamond-shaped golden patterns, which were initially vague, gradually became clearer, and Tang Wulin himself turned red like a cooked shrimp.

So hot, so hot!

Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and endured. Old Tang had said to be strong, to endure, and to be persistent.

His weak soul power almost instantly lost control, running rampant inside his body. The meditative state was gone, and Tang Wulin felt that everything before his eyes was now a bloody red.

Am I going to melt?

Tang Wulin’s body trembled, and the golden web on his body became even clearer.

Suddenly, the heat receded like a wave, and the intense pain disappeared.

When a person is in a normal state, they don’t feel how comfortable they are. But when a person returns to normal from pain, the sense of relief is enough to make them feel intoxicated.

Tang Wulin was in such a state. After the pain, he now felt as if his entire body had been softened by the heat, and he couldn’t even lift a finger.

Before his mind could relax, suddenly, a chill rose from deep within him. Then, like the previous heat, the cold spread to every corner of his body. His skin, which had not yet completely returned to normal, quickly turned a pale white.

Tang Wulin’s body trembled even more violently. The only thing that didn’t change on his body was the web-like golden pattern, which became even clearer.

From extreme heat to extreme cold, the first thing to give way was his clothes, which tore into pieces and turned to dust, falling from his body. Tang Wulin’s level 12 soul power seemed to have completely disappeared, unable to reduce even a bit of his pain.

So cold, my blood is about to freeze. Tang Wulin felt his heartbeat slowing rapidly, and everything before his eyes began to blur.

Is this the effect of the century-old ice crystal fruit and the century-old red flame fruit? It’s really painful.

What he didn’t know was that these two spiritual fruits, when of the same age, could indeed be used to enhance physical strength through a method called ice-fire alchemy. However, this method was dangerous for ordinary people. The sudden change from extreme heat to extreme cold could easily cause a fragile body to collapse. To ensure safety, other harmonizing spiritual fruits, and ones of a higher grade than these two, were needed to neutralize the effects.

Moreover, it was even more important to have a powerful soul master, whose cultivation far exceeded the user, to protect and guide the process.

From Mu Chen’s perspective, it was clear that Mang Tian would help Tang Wulin with the guidance. How could he know that Tang Wulin would dare to consume these three spiritual items on his own?

These were century-old spiritual fruits. Even a soul master at the third ring level might suffer serious injuries from consuming them, at least leaving behind incurable hidden ailments.

Let alone Tang Wulin, whose soul power was only at level 12.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the extreme cold gradually subsided, and Tang Wulin’s mental state gradually recovered.

He couldn’t move; he felt as if his body was numb, as if it wasn’t his own. But strangely, his mind was exceptionally clear. He could clearly see the golden web-like patterns on his body, which were clearly flashing, like a large net completely enveloping him.

Old Tang, where are you? What should I do? Tang Wulin called out in his mind.

But at this moment, Old Tang was like a nightmare that had never appeared, with no response at all.

But Tang Wulin had no way out. He could do nothing but let the three spiritual items wreak havoc in his body.

This time, his body gradually recovered from the stiffness, and the sense of comfort returned. But Tang Wulin’s mind remained tense. First, the heat, then the cold, and next, would it be the effect of the dragon-type soul beast’s blood? What kind of pain would it bring?

It turned out that his guess was correct.

The heat and cold were indeed painful, but compared to the pain he was about to endure, they seemed insignificant.

It felt as if tiny ants were crawling out from his limbs and bones, burrowing into his muscles, organs, and bones, slowly wriggling.

“Ah!” Tang Wulin finally couldn’t hold back a scream. He wanted to scratch, but his body wouldn’t move, and his mind was exceptionally clear. He could fully feel the inhuman torment. The sensation was too intense.

What should I do? How can this be? Tang Wulin’s entire body was trembling violently.

I can’t take it, I can’t take it anymore.

“If you can’t bear it, the result will only be death. If you want to live, you must be strong enough. Any pain will eventually pass in the face of strength and courage. Learn to be persistent, and it will open the door to success for you.” Old Tang’s voice finally appeared again, but this time, it sounded somewhat low and deep.

Tang Wulin’s mind was shaken. Yes! I can’t give up. If I can’t break the seal, I will likely face death.

I can’t die. I have so many things to do. I want to become strong, I want to become a powerful mecha pilot, and I want to use the metal I forge to create my own mecha.

I also want to find my parents and Na’er. I want to become a powerful soul master and a powerful mecha pilot.

I want to live. There are so many beautiful things in this world waiting for me to appreciate.

A strong sense of unwillingness surged from within him, and the pain seemed to lessen. The tingling sensation gradually concentrated, moving from his limbs and bones toward his spine.

Tang Wulin couldn’t see that the golden patterns on his body were gradually turning purple. The purple, which covered the golden, only lasted for a moment before being gradually absorbed by the golden, making the golden patterns appear even brighter.

It was as if the purple aura was nourishing the golden patterns, gradually fading away.

The tingling gradually disappeared, and Tang Wulin panted heavily, his body’s sensations returning. He found that his limbs could move again.

What’s happening? Have I recovered?

Is it over? Did I break the seal?

“Be prepared, everything has just begun!” Old Tang’s somewhat cold voice echoed in his mind.

Just begun?

Before Tang Wulin could react, heat, cold, and tingling suddenly burst from his body like a geyser. In an instant, he felt as if he was being swallowed whole.

He screamed, and everything before his eyes turned blank.
