Chapter 940 - Side Effects (1/2)

Just as Jiang Fei realized his mistake, the face of the Level 2 disciple had turned from red to purple, then purple to black.

This Level 2 martial artist was helpless. He already knew that he could not control the energy surge within his body. The explosion of his body was the only outcome. He understood that this might happen when he was selected for the test. However, when death was really happening, fear still occupied his heart.

Now, however, this Level 2 martial artist could not speak anymore. No matter how scared he was, he could not even scream. He could only feel the energy in his body break through his last defense. Sometimes, people were just helpless like that.

”I'm sorry!” Jiang Fei rushed to the front of this martial artist and whispered in his ear, then threw him far away. At that point in time, even Jiang Fei could not save him.

Boom!

Following a loud noise, this second Level 2 disciple's body also exploded due to the sudden energy surge.

Gasp!

All the martial artists present at the scene sucked in a breath. These martial artists only drank the potions less than five minutes ago and two of them were already dead. Moreover, according to Jiang Fei, the pain would last for several hours. If so, would any of these testers even survive through it?

However, as time passed, the martial artists gained their confidence back. An hour had passed and nothing strange had happened to the remaining three martial artists. Although they were still rolling around and moaning in pain, it seemed like they were in a stable state and their lives were not in danger.

”Phew...” Jiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the potion developed by 0542 for the martial artists could only be consumed by martial artists who were Level 3 or above. However, they still had to wait for the results to determine the side effects.

The martial artists could easily resist the suffering caused by such pain because of their solid basic skills. It was very difficult for traditional martial artists to increase their strength. Years and years of tough training made their will strong. Hence, in the face of such inhumane pain, they had an advantage over ordinary people like Jiang Fei and Si Tuying.

Another two hours passed by very quickly. During this time, one of the Level 3 martial artists had a slight energy outburst, but he quickly suppressed it. It came as a shock to the other martial artists around, but not it was not life-threatening. The pain of the three martial artists had begun to reduce. It could be said that they had gotten through the toughest stage. Now, it all depended on their luck. If they were not caught in the forty percent failure rate, then these people would be the lucky ones to obtain a rise in their powers. However, if the potion failed to work, nobody knew how things would turn out for them.

After another half an hour or so, Ding Tianqing, who was the strongest out of the three, became the first to get through it. He lied flat on the ground and had no strength at all.

”Old Ding, how are you feeling?” Bai Wanli rushed over there.

”I don't think dying is a possibility anymore...” Ding Tianqing struggled to reveal a painful smile. As his body was too weak, he could not figure out the specific condition of his body.

”Younger brother Jiang, what's happening to old Ding now?” Bai Wanli asked Jiang Fei.

”Well...” Before Jiang Fei could reply, someone started shouting.

”You monsters! Go to hell!”

”I'll eat all of you!”

”Give me my life back!”

...

Everyone's gaze shifted from Ding Tianqing to the guy shouting. He was covered in dirt and sweat, and he was screaming and crying as he lied on the ground.
