Chapter 571 - I Must Survive! (2/2)

The thousand-year tuna was truly nutritious. Even now, Tang Wulin’s body still hummed with warmth as the tuna supplied him with strength.

Clad in dark gold, Mu Ye swiftly arrived at Tang Wulin’s side once he emerged from the water.

“Uncle Ye, are we going back now?” Tang Wulin asked, forcing out a smile.

“The greatest secret of the Body Sect is how we cause a second awakening. In truth, you already know what the method is. To draw out the potential hidden within someone, they must be put through a desperate crisis. Then claw their way to survival. Since you continue to refuse to join the Body Sect, I’ll have to silence you.”

As Tang Wulin gawked, Mu Ye’s figure disappeared in a flicker of motion and reappeared before him. A blink later, Mu Ye firmly grasped his neck. Once more did they plunge into the sea.

As they descended, the frigid waters rapidly snuffed the little strength that Tang Wulin had managed to recover. This time, Mu Ye brought him even further into the ocean’s cold embrace.

The moment Mu Ye released his hold on Tang Wulin, no matter how deprived of oxygen and crushed from tremendous pressure he was, Tang Wulin felt his fading consciousness kick back into action. Without a single thought in his mind, he frantically swam for the surface.

But before he could make it, his vision faded to black.

“Wake up,” sounded a voice, reverberating from all around him.

Tang Wulin opened his eyes to find himself within his spiritual world. Old Tang floated a short distance away from him.

“Wake up,” Old Tang repeated.

“Old Tang, what happened?”

“Right now you’re on the brink of death. That’s the Body Sect, for you. Still, their methods are very helpful for training your body, and as long as you persevere, your potential will bloom. No matter what, you can never give up. You just have to push on and unleash your hidden strength. Since you possess the sealed power of the Golden Dragon King, your potential is far higher than anyone could imagine.

“Anyway, there’s something important I must inform you of. You know those seals on your body? The first nine differ from the last nine. For the former, you will be able to absorb their energy easily enough as long as you have the necessary heavenly treasures. The last nine are a different story, though. Because they possess a frightening amount of energy, when you reach those seals, every seal break will be a life-and-death crisis. Therefore, while the Body Sect’s cultivation methods may be cruel, they are a great way to temper your body and mind in preparation for the last nine seals. Persevere and gain the strength you need for the future.”

Before Tang Wulin could say anything, his vision blurred and he returned to reality. Darkness surrounded him, his lungs screamed for air, and the ocean’s depths crushed him with its pressure.

I have to persevere! I must survive!

He bit his tongue to clear his mind. With adrenaline pumping through his veins, he once again frantically swam toward the surface.

I must survive! He screamed within his heart, refusing to succumb to his weakness. Power surged through his limbs and he pressed on.

Unknown to Tang Wulin a red mecha quietly watched him from a short distance away. Mu Ye’s red-grade mecha. When it had sensed how close Tang Wulin was to death, it prepared to swoop in as rescue.

Instead, Tang Wulin jolted back to life right before it could.

Surface side, Mu Ye watched Tang Wulin through the sensors of his mecha. Astonishment colored his face at the tenacity Tang Wulin possessed. This kid’s potential sure is hard to measure!
