Early the next morning Xiao long woke up early freshened up, and followed the aroma of fried rice which was triggering his appetite." You should eat well ,this is your last meal till you reach the peak of the body tempering realm" Xiao Xing advised. "I know that ,it's just you cooked a lot of food ,do you expect me to finish all of it ,or do you think I am one of those Gluttonous kids? " Xiao long complained while stuffing food in his mouth.
" I don't think that young master ,I know you are better than them"she muttered under her breath." What ? ". " I was just wondering how long you will survive without eating any real food " .
Today all the disciples that awakened their physiques were going to be sent to the Blood asura secret realm to temper their body.
The realm was used for helping disciples temper their body in beast blood which the Sect elders hunted down and refined their blood essence.There was also a battle tower to sharpen their battle instincts .
Inside the realm there was no edible foods anything that grew there was a body tempering resource and they were few, to prevent the little bastards from starving to death they were equipped with fasting pills. Another thing was the longer you stayed inside the realm the Better you body refining talent.
Talent is measured by the Grade of your physique, Comprehension speed, battle prowess, Formation carving,Weapon refining,Body tempering, Cultivation speed,Pill refining,Soul quality and strength,and Qi quality.
When Xiao long thought of the day's he will have to suffer without eating he put the spoon away and began shoving food into his mouth with his hands . ' I must relish this moment as it might be the one that will help me though the hard day's to come ' thinking of that he stilled his will and began swallowing without chewing.In another courtyard the same thing was happening, except in this one the eater eyes were glowing as she gobbled down everything her little hand could grab on the table, scaring the servants.
The body tempering realm was divided into bone,skin and meridian tempering.One must temper their bones to a form a bronze colour, the meridian to a silver colour and their skin to a golden colour .
After finishing his breakfast Xiao long sets off to the Training hall ,the arrays to any training facilities were there .
Xiao long arrived early than most .In this year awakening ceremony fifty clan members awakened their physiques.
" Greetings Senior brother long " the disciples who had already arrived saluted him ." Junior brothers" he saluted them.
"where are the little brats"he muttered." " Old long did uncle chase you home too ? " Xiao Li mocked him as she arrived ." Nope, don't tell me even uncle can't handle to see your annoying face every day" Xiao long mocked her.If he guessed right Xiao Li must have been chased away for wolfing down food forgetting about the Tempering realm.And he was correct about the reason but she was not chased because of eating but the little brat dared to take a nap after having her fill ,forcing her old man to throw her out of the courtyard.
Xiao Li wanted to hear she was not the only one thrown out but who knew the little bastard would mock her, but lucky for her Xiao Wei arrived with a bump in his head and looking at his grumpy face he must have just come from taking a beating. " Damn that old man it's not that I was eating his food" Xiao Wei grumbled not knowing he just made Xiao Li's day.
She pats him on his back" poor kid" she muttered.Xiao Wei glared at her then ignored her.
They wait for half an hour before the hall doors open or more appropriately the gates since they are so large.
An old man walked out ,his head full of white hairs and some parts bald.He flexed his muscles then scratched his butt as he farted out loudly scaring the kids.This old man name is Xiao Wang he is the Training Hall Guardian, he is also one of the oldest clan elders ,a member of the original members who relocated the clan.His cultivation level no one knew except for the other old geezers in seclusion.
" Okay little brats you all know what to do when you enter there Just absorb as much essence as you tiny bodies can handle and make sure not to die" He then waved his head sending motes of light into their heads " That is the Heaven swallowing technique you should learn it first when you enter ,it should help in the absorption part and the tempering part" he adviced .The then threw up a talisman which activated mid air releasing a strong swallowing vortex which swallowed them.
" Good luck little brat I left a little gift for you " a voice entered Xiao longs ears as he spined inside the vortex making him curse out loudly.A moment ago he was watching Xiao Li as she was teasing Xiao Wei's bump,the next moment he is spinning in this damn vortex ." That old geezer couldn't have just sent us through the array or given us a heads up " he cursed.The old man tore an opening inside the realm and let the realm swallow them ,he was just lazy to light up the array.
Xiao Wang sneezed as he picked his nose " silly brat dares to curse this old man" he smiled sly as he threw something inside the vortex.
The vortex sent every one into different parts in the realm. The realm is divided into three layers depending on the number of blood pools and the concentration of blood essence. The first layer has a high number of pools but low concentrations of blood essence while the third layer has the least number of pools and a high concentration of essence.
Every layer have a transfer array to the battle tower and to activate the array one must power it with blood crystals one accures from hunting down blood beasts .The beasts are formed but the remaining resentment of the Refined beasts.
A clan formation master laid down a formation to help the resentments form a corporeal body by absorbing other resentments.This was another training routine to help one absorb pure refined essence by the Blood asuras.
