Chapter 357: Constantly Growing Youths (2/2)

“Who are you again?” Stingham asked as he turned his head and looked suspiciously at Leonardo.

“He’s Cocktail Grandmaster Leonardo,” Ayrin explained.

“Ah, so it’s that person who Teacher Liszt defeated,” Stingham replied as a look of comprehension appeared on his face.

Leonardo’s face abruptly darkened as he thought to himself, “No wonder Jean Camus took the initiative to beat him up. This fellow really has a knack for ticking people off.”

“Mister Leonardo, you said that this Heart of Fury is enough for all of us to reach our limits. But how should we split this thing? And does it contain a powerful toxin like a Poisonflame Emperor Egg? Teacher Liszt once said that if a person ate an entire Heart of Fury by themselves, their heart would directly explode,” Ayrin spoke.

“It will be fine if we split it into six even parts. They will help you guys do this,” Leonardo replied as he swept his gaze over a couple of the nearby referees and medical masters. Afterwards, he looked back towards Ayrin and said, “What Liszt said is correct. The Heart of Fury is able to greatly increase the body’s strength. However, shortly after eating the fruit, one’s heart will be stimulated by the fruit’s unique properties to beat many times faster and harder than normal. If one eats too much, the heart will burst, resulting in death.”

“So dangerous?”

Stingham’s eyes widened as he said, “When we eat it, let’s let Ayrin go first.”

“You are a complete idiot!” Rinloran uttered.

“Is that it? So if we split it into sixths, there will not be any danger?” A look of excitement and desire appeared on Ayrin’s face as he said, “Then I shall go first.”

“These youths of Holy Dawn Academy have such contrasting dispositions.”

A somewhat speechless medical master walked forward at this time and withdrew a small knife made of extremely pure crystal from their pocket.

Relying on only his hand, which acted like a perfect scale, this medical master cut the Heart of Fury into six pieces of uniform weight.

“The insides are just like this? There’s no seed?” Ayrin exclaimed as he saw the fruit’s fiery red flesh. The flesh looked extremely juicy, yet not a single drop of liquid had flowed out during the cutting process.

“Let’s do it together.”

Before Ayrin could test the waters, a glint flashed through Belo’s eyes as he impulsively grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Okay.”

Ayrin immediately followed.

“It tastes pretty good,” Ayrin exclaimed.

The Heart of Fury contained a mix of sweetness and tartness, making it taste somewhat like a strawberry.

“Boom!”

Before long, Ayrin could feel a violent energy rise from his stomach and flow into his heart.

“Thud!”

It was so loud that everyone could audibly hear it.

“Isn’t this a little too strong?” Stingham’s eyes widened as he watched Ayrin and Belo’s chests thump with every heartbeat.

“Such strength!”

Ayrin’s eyes turned blood red as crimson steam began to rise from his body. He could feel each and every one of his blood vessels reaching their limits.

“Thud! Thud! Thud…”

His heart continued to thump wildly.

With each heartbeat, blood surged through his body with unparalleled vigor and his blood vessels began to rupture.

But instead of simply leaking blood into their surroundings, these ruptured vessels began to grow and extend their reach further into the surrounding muscles.

Ayrin felt his body surge with strength as many particles within his body began to receive more nourishment than they ever had before.

Energy surged into his body as his blood vessels and muscles continuously ruptured and repaired.

“So much energy… like this, my body will become many times stronger than before…” Ayrin thought to himself in glee.

“They won’t die right?” Stingham’s mouth hung open in shock.

Because Ayrin and Belo’s appearances at this moment were downright shocking. Their eyes had turned completely bloodshot and countless fine capillary-esque blood vessels had emerged all over their skin. Some had even ruptured the skin, spewing blood everywhere. To the others, it looked like their bodies were unable to endure the pressure and were on the verge of exploding.

“Idiot!” Rinloran shouted as he grabbed a piece of the fruit and ate it. Before anyone could react, he grabbed a second piece and shoved it down Stingham’s throat as well.

“Rinloran, you!”

By the time Stingham recovered, he had already swallowed.

“I’ve gotten stronger again!”

As Ayrin’s heartbeat gradually returned to normal, so did the redness in is eyes. A feeling of great satisfaction pervaded Ayrin’s mind.

He could already feel that his body had become stronger.

Each and every muscle within his body was tougher than before and had become filled with an explosive strength.
