Chapter 102 (2/2)
Five hundred meters away from Kirst Academy, in an enormous active volcano.
The whole volcano was making slight tremors every now and then. Thick smoke came out the top of the volcano, as if it would explode at any moment.
In this extremely harsh environment, deep in the volcano, a man was training completely naked, revealing great chunks of muscles as large as slabs of marbles.
Countless light flickers from the fire around him shone on his body, tempering his physical body just like it would temper steel, and making his physique increasingly stronger, increasingly terrifying.
The man abruptly opened his eyes wide, and blood-red light surged from their depths. He suddenly stretched out four arms from his back, each of them covered with black scales, brimming with a strong evil aura, as if they were the hands of demons coming from the very depths of hell.
“Not bad, not bad.” From a distance, a man made of fire and light walked over to him, looked at Kaunitz and said, “You’ve already reached level 5 of the Inferno Indestructible Physique. With me using the Divine Flames of the Earth’s Core to temper your body, you’ll be able to reach level 10 in this Killing technique after maximum another month.
“By then, this coupled with your Six-Armed Asura job, and the Divine Equipment I’ve bestowed on you will be sufficient to increase your battle prowess over tenfold.”
Kaunitz immediately knelt before him, gleams of fury flashing in his eyes, “Thank you, First Prince, for your kind grace.” He was still harboring an inveterate hatred towards Fang Xingjian.
Seeing this, the First Prince’s clone shook his head, and suddenly tossed a bottle of medicine to Kaunitz.
Kaunitz caught it, and at the next moment, he immediately sense a strong fragrance coming from it. In an instant, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and he was once again brimming with limitless strength and spirit.
He opened his eyes and noticed that it held ten queer-looking medicinal pills which looked like glaze or stardust, simply floating in the bottle and shining bits of starlight.
“This… This is…”
The First Prince said with indifference, “These are medicine pills concocted from dragon’s blood, which I’ve brought from the Imperial Capital. Each of them can change one’s blood and marrow, completely modifying a person’s physique, and allowing one to be half human, half dragon. They can raise a normal person’s potential by 100,000 points.”
“What?!” Kaunitz was stunned, and at the next moment, he was looking at the medicinal pills in his hands with an extremely greedy gaze, with the strong urge to immediately take them all at once.
The First Prince continued, “At most, each person can take ten of these Dragon Blood Pills which can change one’s blood and improve one’s physique. After eating them, one will turn into a half human, half dragon being. Taking any more than that would simply be useless.
“I’ve initially brought this for Fang Xingjian, hoping to nurture him quickly so that he can assist me to charge into the enemy’s ranks and fight for me.”
Suddenly, his expression turned extremely subtle, as he turned towards Kaunitz and said, “Are you jealous?”
Kaunitz anxiously knelt down, “Your subject wouldn’t dare.” But at the next moment, a series of horrifying cries came out from his mouth, and he fell to the ground, convulsing unceasingly, feeling as if his attributes were starting to drop.
“Hmph hmph, haven’t you learnt your place yet?” the First Prince coldly said, “After signing the Devil’s Note, your each and every move is within my grasp. Any actions which go against my commands will reduce your attributes by half, and you’ll experience the most painful agony in the world.
“Defying orders, naturally, also includes lying to me.”
As he said that, he pointed towards Kaunitz through the air, putting a stop to Kaunitz’s agony. “This is the last time. In the future, if you do anything to cause a backlash of the Devil’s Note, I won’t help you again.”
Kaunitz anxiously said, “Thank you, Your Highness. Your subject would not dare to do so again.”
The First Prince shook his head, saying, “Take the medicine.”
Kaunitz was stunned, and then heard the First Prince continue, “Fang Xingjian has already been wasted. Sigh, it’s a pity. I’d originally only wanted Charlie to apply some pressure on him, making things easier in the future. I would never have thought that he would not be able to put up with such a small setback.
“But it’s good as well. Finding out that his will is so weak earlier saves me the trouble of him spoiling my future plans.”
With that, his silhouette darted, and he entered Kaunitz’s body.
“There’s going to be a huge change in this world. You better begin your cultivation quickly. This way, you’ll be able to assist me in defending the Empire, and help in taking charge of the situation.”
Kaunitz started his cultivation once again, but no matter what, he could not hide the hint of a smile on the corner of his lips.
“Fang Xingjian, you’re already wasted?” Naturally, he would not doubt the First Prince’s source of information. It was just that he felt both extreme satisfaction and disappointment.
“It’s a pity that I could not defeat you myself. But this also proves that I’m the best!”
…
A few days later, just when everyone thought that Fang Xingjian would never wake up again, his eyelids twitched, and he slowly started regaining his consciousness.
