Chapter 92

After drinking a cup of alcohol, He Dong let out a惨叫 and stood there, as if he had just been boiled like a crab. Not only was his exposed skin red, but his entire body was emitting white steam.

"What... What... What should we do?" Seeing He Dong standing there with his eyes closed, looking lifeless, Fangfang panicked and even tried to rush forward to support him.

"Don't touch him!" At this moment, Chu Qian suddenly appeared and said sternly, "He is almost a ball of fire now. Anyone who touches him will be burned! Truly courting death. Did he think this was just ordinary Three Cups Down? Those ordinary Three Cups Down are not even as good as plain water compared to this supreme Three Cups Down."

"Miss, he drank it unconsciously!" Fangfang said somewhat apprehensively.

"Alas, this man is finished! No one can drink so much supreme Three Cups Down and still be fine!" Chu Qian looked at He Dong with regret, feeling a bit remorseful. She had merely wanted to verify her idea, but she hadn't expected He Dong to drink the entire cup of supreme Three Cups Down unconsciously.

"Miss, he is on good terms with the Wang family. What do you think...?" Fangfang reminded her softly.

"Leave the Wang family alone. Besides, He Dong is not a member of the Wang family; he is just on good terms with them. They won't fall out with us over He Dong. However, we should compensate his family well; otherwise, I would feel really guilty!" Chu Qian looked at He Dong, who seemed to be on fire, and her expression became very complex and conflicted.

Just as Chu Qian was pronouncing He Dong's death sentence, He Dong was experiencing a torment worse than death.

When he had bet with Zhou Fuan, He Dong had once drunk Three Cups Down. At that time, he was stunned by its intensity, but he could still bear it. However, the cup of Three Cups Down he drank today was less than half the amount of the last time, yet its intensity was enough to be lethal.

At this moment, He Dong felt only one thing: pain, immense pain, excruciating pain. This was the ultimate manifestation of being burned by the strong liquor.

Logically, such intense pain should have caused him to faint long ago. Even if he didn't faint, he should have been drunk since he drank alcohol. However, He Dong was very much awake.

He felt as if a furnace had risen within him, stirring up heavenly thunder and earthly fire to burn him from the inside out, constantly stimulating his nerves with intense pain.

In fact, the entire process of this transformation was very brief, almost instantaneous, but for He Dong, it felt incredibly long. However, no matter how long it felt, he had to endure it. Just as He Dong felt he was about to collapse, a cool sensation suddenly rose within him, slowly neutralizing the burning heat.

"Ah! Eh? What is this?" The cool sensation came very suddenly and quickly, directly suppressing the scorching heat, even giving him a feeling of coldness. This extreme contrast of ice and fire made He Dong groan in relief and immediately became interested in this cool sensation.

He Dong could clearly feel that the cool sensation was definitely coming from within his body, and it felt familiar to him.

"This... This seems to be the water magic element I usually absorb from the air?" After careful observation, He Dong finally made a surprising discovery.

He Dong had already understood the existence of various magic elements when he obtained his first magic skill, the Wood Binding Spell. Now, his body could automatically absorb water, fire, wood, and dark magic elements.

When he obtained the Eye of Truth, He Dong once observed himself and was surprised to find that the various magic elements were located in different parts of his body. Water elements were in his kidneys, fire elements in his heart, wood elements in his liver, and dark elements formed a black gas mass in his dantian.

However, he usually didn't pay much attention to these magic elements. After all, his magic power came from his pets, and he had no way to actively absorb magic power. Therefore, these magic elements remained dormant when he wasn't using magic.

But now, the water element was actively suppressing the heat from the Three Cups Down, which made He Dong curious about this alcohol that could activate the magic elements.

At the same time, Chu Qian, full of regret and remorse, was about to leave when she suddenly turned around, her eyes wide with surprise, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

He Dong's entire body was still red and hot, with steam swirling around him. However, Chu Qian's gaze was fixed on his lower abdomen, from where she felt a clear energy fluctuation, and it was the water element energy she was most familiar with.

"This He Dong is indeed a psychic!" Chu Qian's face was filled with joy.

"What? Miss! You mean He Dong is a psychic?" Fangfang asked in shock.

"Fangfang, I don't want a third person to know about this!" Chu Qian's expression suddenly became serious.

"Yes!" Fangfang immediately lowered her head and responded respectfully.

"Wait until he wakes up, then invite him to my office... no, invite him to the 22nd floor!" Chu Qian finally decided.

"Ah! Miss, the 22nd floor is your...! How about the office? It would be more convenient to discuss things there!" Fangfang's face changed slightly, and she suggested.

"Just do as I say!" Chu Qian said firmly.

He Dong was unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, he was completely absorbed by the changes within his body. The appearance of the water element not only suppressed the heat from the Three Cups Down but also increased at a visible rate as the heat from the Three Cups Down dissipated.

Since extracting magic from his pets, He Dong had been thinking about whether the power of the magic skills he obtained could be further increased.

Later, after some experiments, he found that the power of the magic could indeed be increased, but the process was very slow because the power of the magic was proportional to the amount of magic elements he possessed.

The growth of his own magic elements was a slow process. After all, He Dong's magic ability was extracted from his pets, and he could only passively use the innate abilities of the magical beasts to absorb magic elements, not actively cultivate them like in novels. Of course, he didn't have a cultivation method even if he wanted to.

However, after drinking the Three Cups Down today, although he endured a painful ordeal, he saw a glimmer of hope for the growth of his magic power.
