Shi Hao was very calm, neither crying nor making a fuss, just quietly soaking in the medicinal cauldron.
Before long, his eyes narrowed together, as if he were about to fall asleep.
"Glug!"
His body sank into the cauldron, and he suddenly took a big gulp of the medicinal liquid.
A string of bubbles emerged from the cauldron, and he actually drank all of the liquid in the pool.
The adults' faces also revealed expressions of shock.
They didn't know what this little guy's stomach was made of, capable of drinking so much medicinal liquid.
"Grandpa, I'm so sleepy!"
The Old Patriarch carried Shi Hao out of the cauldron, wrapped him in animal hide, and gently said, "Sleep now, sleep now. You'll become stronger when you wake up!"
Shi Teng saw that his body was no longer reacting, and the entire medicinal cauldron had turned into clear water.
He also leaped out.
His entire body's skin displayed a golden hue, looking even stronger than before.
Everyone couldn't help but nod gently, "This little fellow is indeed amazing, he actually absorbed all the Beast True Blood in the cauldron!"
The Old Patriarch spoke, "Shi Teng, take Little Hao back to rest!"
Shi Teng looked at the other cauldrons, which were still steaming, the liquid inside still a dark color. It seemed there was still a lot of Beast True Blood left, and he could clearly feel that his body was still very hungry!
"Um, Grandpa, I see that there's still a lot of Beast True Blood left in those medicinal liquids. Can I soak in the other cauldrons as well?"
The Old Patriarch raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, of course!"
The other adults' faces once again revealed expressions of shock. "We didn't expect this kid's body hadn't reached saturation yet!"
Seeing that the remaining seven large cauldrons' liquid colors had all turned into clear water, everyone looked on in astonishment.
Shi Teng also emerged from the last cauldron, very satisfied.
"Comfortable!"
Everyone was surprised to find that, in just a few hours, Shi Teng's body had undergone a huge change.
His muscles and bones were much denser, and even his limbs had grown considerably, especially in certain areas, which were particularly noticeable.
Shi Teng bowed deeply to everyone, very satisfied. "Thank you, uncles, for bringing back the Beast True Blood. When Xiao Tengzi grows up, he will definitely repay you properly!"
"Grandpa, then I'll take Little Budian back to rest!"
Saying this, he carried Shi Hao back to the stone house.
Watching Shi Teng's departing figure, the crowd stood in place for a long while.
Perhaps this child could truly bring hope to Stone Village, shielding them from wind and rain! Only the Old Patriarch knew that their identities were far more than that, how could a small Stone Village confine their steps.
Like a great roc soaring with the wind, rising ninety thousand miles!
They only hoped that when they became strong, they would still remember this place where they had grown up.
Shi Teng sat cross-legged on the stone bed, lost in thought, while Little Shi Hao slept peacefully beside him, emitting snoring sounds.
Shi Teng frowned. In the perfect world, heroes rise together, myriad clans stand side by side, and the saints compete for dominance; everything is based on strength.
At the moment, he was only eight years old and had to stay in Stone Village, diligently signing in to improve his strength, and then go out and have fun! Risk and opportunity exist together; that's what life is all about.
An unyielding golden body, a domineering presence, an indomitable soul, only these can conquer!
Unlike his previous life, where he scurried about, living like a dog.
He didn't know how his parents were doing now, probably still frantically searching for him!
Sigh, life is unpredictable, filled with gains and losses.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in in the room. You have received ten bottles of Body Tempering Spirit Liquid!
Shi Teng didn't overthink it; he took them out immediately. He gulped down five bottles and left five for the little guy! The earlier medicinal bath had already strengthened his bones and filled him with power.
After consuming the Body Tempering Spirit Liquid, Shi Teng could clearly see the impurities being expelled from his body.
His essence blood surged like rolling thunder, brimming with power.
This should be the first realm of cultivation: the Blood Mobilization Realm.
Mobilizing all the essence blood in his body, it rolled like thunder, melting the bone symbols and urging divine light in the blood to temper the creation of heaven and earth, nourishing the flesh.
At its peak, it could allow the body to reach the extreme of one hundred thousand jin.
In the world of Perfect World, below the Supreme Being, there were the Blood Mobilization Realm, the Heavenly Cave Realm, the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Inscription Realm, the Array Formation Realm, and the Honored One.
Below the Supreme Being, all were ants.
At the moment, he was still only in the lowest level, the Blood Mobilization Realm.
Shi Teng took out the Precious Bone gifted by Willow Deity, on which some strange runes were carved.
With a slight thought, he urged the spiritual power in his entire body into the Precious Bone.
"Buzz!"
Before he could even begin to understand the mysteries within, the system's voice rang out!
Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Azure Dragon Treasure Technique.
The Azure Dragon Treasure Technique has five levels.
First level: Azure Dragon Skin.
Second level: Azure Dragon Scales.
Third level: Full dragon transformation, including the growth of Azure Dragon wings.
Fourth level: Azure Dragon Transformation.
Fifth level: Dragon Bone Transformation.
The system has already helped the host unlock the first level, Azure Dragon Skin. Activating the Azure Dragon Technique will cover the entire body with a layer of Azure Dragon Skin, as hard as iron, impervious to ordinary blades and spears.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Azure Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand, an extension of the Azure Dragon Treasure Technique. It grants the user ten thousand jin of immense power, capable of tearing apart ordinary ferocious beasts!
A look of joy spread across Shi Teng's face as he examined the technique displayed in his mind.
It's not scary when your opponent is educated, but it is when they have a cheat!
Having a system is truly awesome; he didn't even need to cultivate, as the system automatically helped him improve his strength.
Hehe!
Shi Teng placed five bottles of Body Tempering Spirit Liquid on the stone bed, then strode out of his stone house.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Shi Teng stepped out of the stone house, a small stone was thrown at him.
Shi Teng's body trembled slightly, and the small stone was directly knocked away.
Shi Hao felt a surge of joy, realizing he had indeed become stronger.
Hanging upside down from a nearby ancient tree were several children around Shi Teng's age. They were none other than Shi Tianba, the son of Shi Linhu, the strongest in the village; Pi Hou, the son of Shi Shoushan; and Shi Tianbao, the son of Shi Feijiao!
These kids had bullied the Little One a few days ago, and he'd fought them, even getting some scratches.
Now, they were probably here looking for trouble.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man for being poor!
Before, he might not have been able to beat the three of them.
But now,
He guessed even their fathers wouldn't be a match for him, let alone them!
Shi Hao turned around fiercely, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Pi Hou was startled, nearly falling from the tree.
However, he was also very agile, grabbing another tree and swinging around it before landing lightly on the ground.
Shi Tianba had a shallow scar on his forehead, a mark left by Shi Teng's stick.
He was like a fierce tiger, having inherited his father's skills. Although only ten years old, his body was already quite burly, and it was said that he could lift a thousand catties!
His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a granite stone, several times larger than the previous one, was hurled towards Shi Teng.
Shi Teng caught the granite stone thrown by Shi Tianba.
With a slight exertion of his right hand, the hard granite turned into powder.
The crowd's faces showed shock. They hadn't expected that after just a medicinal bath, this kid had become so strong.
Shi Teng's eyes slightly trembled, and his right fist slammed into the ground.
With a loud boom, the surrounding ground shook, and even the ancient trees nearby swayed, emitting a powerful aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Then, he leaped up, his speed several times faster than before, and punched a boulder nearby.
"Boom!"
The boulder instantly shattered, turning into a pile of rubble.
The other three, watching the power radiating from Shi Teng, couldn't help but tremble.
If that punch had landed on them, what would have happened!
"To forge steel bones, I will shed blood; my fate is mine, not heaven's!"
Shi Teng's tone was cold. "We're all from the same village. I don't want to hurt you. I hope you don't provoke me, and you must not bully Little Budian anymore, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
The three of them nodded repeatedly.
Looking at Shi Teng's retreating back.
Shi Teng, who was originally only 1.7 meters tall, instantly seemed infinitely taller in their hearts.
Like a great roc soaring on the wind, rising ninety thousand miles!
