Chapter 424

“No way? It’s this exaggerated?” Guo Ran was stunned .

“It’s not the slightest bit exaggerated . Only in this way is it possible to temper each and every bone in the body . With each bone, you have to temper all the other bones as well,” said Long Chen .

“Then wouldn’t it require decades to undergo complete tempering?” Guo Ran felt slightly hopeless . He had already eaten the Bone Connecting Pill, and thus connected all his bones . He had no choice but to undergo complete tempering at this stage .

“You’re extrapolating according to normal standards . For other cultivators, for each bone you temper, it costs twice the amount of the previous time, and the time required to temper it also doubles accordingly .

“For them, to temper eight bones requires over a year’s time . First-rate bone tempering requires at least three years .

“But we’re not the same . For us, each bone we temper requires the same amount of time . If it took three to five days to temper the first bone, it will take three to five days to temper each and every bone .

“In fact, once we reach the end, we’ll temper them faster and faster . That’s because we tempered each of our bones with each tempering, so by the end, each bone’s requirements go down, and the bones you’ve already tempered don’t need further energy,” explained Long Chen .

“Oh? Then I’m relieved . You really scared me just now . If we had to keep bone tempering for decades, then my springtime of youth would all have been lost,” sighed Guo Ran .

“But after you finish tempering each bone, you’ll need to undergo one final total tempering . That total tempering will be a bit painful . ” Seeing Guo Ran’s expression suddenly change, Long Chen laughed, “It’s not like you think . Once each bone in your body is tempered, just what level do you think your strength will explode to? If I haven’t misjudged, the amount of power your armor can release is directly proportional to your own physical strength . At that time… hehe… you understand . ”

Hearing that, Guo Ran’s eyes lit up . Long Chen was absolutely correct . His armor was something that amplified his own power . Although his armor looked ordinary, there were countless steel wires tightly bound around his muscles . Each one of his movements pulled on those threads, and adding on a few mechanisms that were activated by his fingers, it would multiply his original power .

“Hehe, boss, you really are awesome . Then we’re on track to become the strongest squad ever . But if the amount of Bone Tempering Pills we have is only enough for four bones, then just what astronomical number will we need for complete tempering?” Thinking of that, Guo Ran began to sweat .

“Good word . Astronomical really is accurate,” nodded Long Chen .

“Don’t praise me at this kind of time . How are we supposed to get more Bone Tempering Pills?” Guo Ran was filled with worry .

“There will always be a way . Haven’t you already noticed? As our cultivation bases gradually increase, the enemies we come into contact with also grow stronger .

“If we cultivate like ordinary people, our lives will definitely become incredibly miserable in the future . The path of cultivation is just that cruel . Once you’ve stepped onto it, don’t even think of escaping .

“Trouble will constantly come to find us . So we have to do think of any way we can to get stronger . Only then can we live with dignity,” sighed Long Chen .

“I understand boss . There is no path of retreat for us anymore,” nodded Guo Ran . “Speaking of which, do you think I should make Wilde a set of armor? If I start now, then I should be able to finish it before the secret realm’s exit opens . With Wilde’s strength, hehe…”

If he made a set of armor for Wilde, then with Wilde’s abnormal strength, he would definitely become a practically G.o.dlike killer .

“Do you think Wilde is like you, and understands how to use those controls and maneuvers? When are you going to start using your head?”

“Oh, I forgot . ” Guo Ran clapped himself in the head with embarra.s.sment .

With Wilde’s intelligence, getting him to learn how to control his kind of armor would be heaven-defying .

Back then, for Long Chen to teach him the simplest way of circulating his qi, Long Chen had almost died of anger . And Long Chen considered himself someone with decent patience .

“Speaking of which, have you seen Wilde in the last two days?” asked Long Chen .

“Yesterday I went over there . Wilde was still sleeping then, and the ground was littered with feathers . That Violet… cough, that bird is only half-eaten right now . It seems it’ll take Wilde some more time to completely finish it . ” Guo Ran suddenly remember how Long Chen didn’t want him mentioning the Violet Phoenix Sparrow’s name . Those four little fellows were currently guarding the perimeter, and after being subdued by humans, their intelligence had increased . That topic was taboo .

The Violet Phoenix Sparrow was a peak fifth rank Magical Beast, and its flesh contained a great deal of energy . For an ordinary person, they would need half a day to digest just a mouthful of its flesh . Even with Wilde’s abnormal body, he needed to sleep for a few days to digest that energy . It could be seen just how terrifying the amount of energy in that flesh was .

“Currently, Wilde really is too frightening . Just the power of his blood and qi is enough to terrify me . And I’m his brother; if it was someone else, they wouldn’t even dare get close to him,” exclaimed Guo Ran .

Some kind of special aura had now appeared from Wilde’s body, and that aura was even more terrifying than that of a high ranking Magical Beast .
