Chapter 691: Creations (1/2)

”...focus, Fatty. Stop looking at her ass. She's not shaking it for you. You'll suffer if you lose focus.”

Vendrick's strained voice echoed on Arthur's ears, causing him to feel somewhat flustered and embarrassed. In fact, even Rosa was embarrassed as well. Vendrick doesn't mince words, but didn't dare to say anything back since they know that Vendrick's exhausted and their performance is not up to his liking.

Currently, Vendrick was watching these two perform several stance which has to be performed one after another, creating a dance which rouses one's bodily functions. It mostly focuses on their stomach, by performing this dance accurately, they could hasten the digestion of whatever it is they ate. Additionally, the nutrients contained on their food would be absorbed much faster and will take effect sooner as well. This is the way how Vendrick wanted them to step onto the path of Berserkers.

Arthur and Rosa concentrated. Both of them knew that they have to get this right or else Vendrick will think they're too stupid and won't teach them anymore. They both knew that Vendrick pulled out all stops in order to help them, he even specifically went out and killed demonic beast for them consume and even made sure to purify the demonic qi on the meat.

Well, Vendrick didn't really go out specifically for them but if it helps them to think of it that way, then yes, he did. It's not like Vendrick's going to stop teaching them anyway.

Speaking of helping them cultivate, Vendrick purifying the demonic beast meat did happen. He did it by washing all the blood off of the meat and letting the abundant True Essence on this area to purify them. In order to make sure that Arthur and Rosa won't suffer from any side-effects, he even gathered some herbs when he was out and wrapped them onto the meat as he smoked it.

This not only made sure that the meat was properly cleansed off of it's demonic qi, it also infuses the meat with medicinal properties which also gave it a deeper taste. And since the meat was cleansed by True Essence, the Berserk Qi from the meat was also cleansed and was replaced by True Essence instead.

Yes, Vendrick indeed tweaked the Berserker's cultivation path a bit. Berserk Qi is good, but True Essence is just better. They'd still follow the path of Berserkers but instead of using Berserk Qi, they'd use True Essence instead.

Right now, Arthur and Rosa hadn't eaten anything yet. Vendrick didn't allow them to touch the demonic beast meat unless they reach a certain level on their practice. The reason why is because Vendrick wanted their first step to be perfect. A perfect entry to cultivation will result in a solid foundation that will aid them so much in the future.

To achieve this, Vendrick has to be strict with them.

Well, on the surface he is. In reality though, these two were good. Their comprehension isn't lacking and they are willing to learn. Vendrick is just feigning to be disappointed since he didn't want them to develop arrogance as they cultivate.

Vendrick watched them closely, making sure to point out their mistakes as they go. If they perform it wrong, they have to start from the very beginning.

Time passed slowly and the sun's nearly down. Arthur and Rosa felt weak. They were sweating a lot and their throats were parched. Nevertheless, not an ounce of whining escaped from their lips. They were still practicing the movement and breathing pattern, so much so that they already forgot how many attempts they made so far.

”Okay, that's enough.” The magical words echoed on their ears, causing both of them to collapse of the floor.

The two were on the verge of fainting, their bodies were aching so much that they can't even move a muscle. Vendrick stared at them and said:

”Don't just collapse in there. Eat. This is what both of you were practicing for.”

Hearing his words, the two of them groaned and forced their bodies to sit back up. They were determined to get their rewards so even though they are in severe pain, they ignored it and chewed on the meat that Vendrick gave to them.

It only took one bite and they felt like their souls were sent to heaven. The scrumptious feast energized them. They forgot the pain and suffering they felt earlier and solely focused on eating. They gored on their meal like starving hyenas.

In a blink of an eye, all the meat was gone. They also emptied the water jugs during the process. Arthur and Rosa's belly was poking out from their fullness. They also felt lethargic, they could feel the seductive whispers of slumber after feasting on the demonic beast meat.

”Don't sleep. Stand-up and practice the moves I taught you before. You have to digest the demonic beast meat or else you two will die from your bodies exploding.”

Vendrick's cold words woke them up rather harshly. Arthur and Rosa felt scared so they unhesitatingly got up and started practicing the movement and breathing technique that Vendrick taught them.

As they did, they felt their bodies heating up, it was absurd since they weren't eve  halfway through the performance. Their protruding bellies shrunk in a speed visible to the naked eye, steam rose from their bodies and filth was being expelled out from their pores.
