Chapter 165 - Dominatin (1/2)
One, two, three… The pills fell in Zhuo Fan’s hand with a light tap of the bottle. And with every fall of the azure gleaming pill, hearts were strung tighter than a fiddle.
When five gathered in his palm, Zhuo Fan placed the bottle away, “Five pills ought to be the limit.”
“Five?!” Vicious Pill King’s eyelid twitched.
A single Bursting Pill could increase one’s Yuan Qi by ten times. If the body couldn’t take it, it would blow up from the strain. That explosion was also ten times stronger than a simple self-detonation.
Taking these pills would turn Zhuo Fan into a ticking time bomb. It increased his power fifty times, but the explosion would be no less than a Profound Heaven expert’s.
The damage wouldn’t be limited to this small area either, but the entire Drifting Flowers City. It would be swept by the shockwave, razed to the ground.
Vicious Pill King’s heart shuddered as he shouted in fear, “Stop him, or he’ll drag us all down with him!”
Too little, too late. Zhuo Fan swallowed the pills without hesitation.
In a blink, the wind picked up, and a rumbling echoed.
Under the frightened eyes of his audience, the space around Zhuo Fan warped. Something seemed to seep out of his body as well, looking akin to raw and physical Yuan Qi.
His Lightning Wings had grown twice their size.
Under constant changes, Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth as sweat trickled down his brow. His fist clenched, his face, grim from the unspeakable pain.
But he held on to his voice, not letting even a grunt escape.
Bam!
His body shivered and his two arms exploded in size. His forehead sported the azure flame again, but this time bigger than before.
The azure flame now burned hotter, his wings flickered with thunder, and his cold eyes were bloodshot. His twisted face as well looked ready to unleash a gruesome power.
The people watched the advent of their death from afar, incredulous of how much power he had gotten.
He rose steadily from the 2nd layer of Bone Tempering Stage under the watchful eyes of Vicious Pill King and the rest, with constant anguish.
The stronger he got, the more bang for his buck. If his control slipped while he powered up, the explosion would be less, but only by a fraction.
But Zhuo Fan stubbornly hung on and his power soared.
Huangpu Qingyun was appalled, but he was crying inside. [What in god’s name is this brat made of? How is he still holding it together?]
With a relieving sigh, just like a tornado, Zhuo Fan’s power up reached the end. Yet, outside of everyone’s expectation, there was no explosion.
All they saw was a calm Zhuo Fan breathing in and out.
“That’s…” Vicious Pill King’s voice trembled, “I-it’s the Profound Heaven Stage!”
The others could see the fierce aura around him and gasped. In just a few breaths, Zhuo Fan climbed from the 2nd layer of Bone Tempering Stage all the way to the Profound Heaven Stage.
[T-this is too astonishing!] Huangpu Qingyun and the 5th elder’s faces were grave.
They knew now the pills weren’t to off himself, but to increase his power.
But how could a man accomplish such a feat?
To the average man, a ten times Yuan Qi increase would burst him like a balloon. But this brat withstood five times of that.
[Just how tough is he?]
“Monster!”
Huangpu Qingyun couldn’t help but voice it. The others also watched with shock and awe of Zhuo Fan’s staunch body.
Making a come hither gesture at Huangpu Qingyun and 5th elder, Zhuo Fan mocked them with a smile, “Didn’t you want to fight? Well, come and get me!”
The audacity and scorn made Huangpu Qingyun and 5th elder burst with anger. This was the first time they were ever mocked this much.
They shot at Zhuo Fan without words and Huangpu Qingyun launched a golden fist right at his face.
“You little shit, if you have the nerve to taunt then don’t dodge and take it like a man!” Huangpu Qingyun was goading him.
Smirking, Zhuo Fan lifted his hand, “There’s no longer a need to dodge…”
