《Overlord in Cultivation》15. To Transform a Shape by Qi
Advertisement
Su Yan left the Underground Chamber of Commerce (UCC), and walked around the Base for several times. Seeing that no one was following him, he rushed immediately towards his destination. He successfully arrived at the grotto where he had hidden the beast kings. No accident happened along the way as the overmatches of the UCC had wiped out all the beats in this area.
“Here we go!”
Su Yan’s eyes were full of excitement and expectation, anxious to know what level he would reach at the Awakening Realm, namely the Incipient Realm.
Cleaning up the flesh of the Golden-feathered Eagle and the Water & Fire Snake, Su Yan started the barbecue. These two fierce beast kings contained powerful blood and essence. Eating the meat, he could gain at least dozens of horsepower.
The grilling process was a bit difficult as the beast kings’ flesh was so ultimately hard that it took a whole day for its aroma to waft out. Now the wings of the Golden-feathered Eagle were thoroughly cooked, glistening a layer of gold grease.
Su Yan couldn’t wait to take a big bite, and the fragrance burst instantly between the lips and teeth. Tender with a crispy crust, it tasted delicious.
“Quite unexpectedly, the Dragon Totem did not absorb the essence from mere flesh. That’s totally awesome! However, it would be perfect with a bottle of wine!”
Su chuckled gleefully, closed his eyes and enjoyed the meat that would cost tens of thousands of Huaxia Coins in restaurants. Fortunately, the flesh of a Golden-feathered Eagle was so much that could support him for a long time.
Su Yan gorged like a pig and spit out the bones. Suddenly, Su felt a blast of hot air pumping inside him, an obvious sign that powerful blood and essence surged in his body.
Holding burning qi, filaments of vital essence and blood nourished all parts of the body, and he seemed to be on the verge of burning and booming like a furnace.
Su stood up and shook fists over and over, every punch was strong and steady as a rock.
He punched more and more quickly to strengthen his body. Finally, all the essence and blood flowed freely throughout his body. That kind of sense was unparalleled.
“That’s wonderful!”
Su had a braying laugh and he felt stronger than before for the nourishment of essence and blood, but it could not satisfy his demands.
Enjoying the greatest pleasure of enhancing strength, he wasn’t aware that the danger was approaching slowly.
“Right here, yes!”
Ma Zhoushan, a heavily armored and serious-looking man, arrived at the place where the Vermilion Fruit Tree was.

“Boss, signs of fierce fighting were everywhere, probably caused by the two beast-kings. We also found Tong Gaoyang’s body and his communicator.”
He Zhi was so angry to see the remains of his cousin’s body, the first thing he suspected was Su Yan. Tong Gaoyang had been sending him a message , then he had an accident. Su Yan must have done it.
“This bug had refined the Essence Stone, otherwise he would not be so strong. It is such a priceless treasure. Pity it was wasted by him.”
Ma Zhoushan said grimly, “There were such beast-kings. I’m sure that something interesting was going on here, and I’m interested in Su Yan.”
“Luckily I brought my little mastiff. Su Yan has just left for a few days, it should not be difficult to find him.”
A fierce mastiff having an acute sense of smell and looking robust followed behind He Zhi. It could find Su Yan by sniffing.
“Finding him, now!”
Ma Zhoushan said with chill and kill in his eyes, “They are beast kings! We can’t let him waste it anymore.”
The danger was coming towards Su Yan.
Three days passed, Su had never imagined that he would eat so much.
He ate all the meats of the Golden-Feathered Eagle, but he hadn’t felt the limits of his body.
“What realms have I reached?”
The strength of Su was increasing rapidly, and he was full of powerful energy that could easily cleave the stone.
As Su absorbed the essence and blood of the Golden-Feathered Eagle, he was also feeling the eagle. He learned and transformed into the Eagle’s shape in three days, and finally he had a good command of the skill.
“Buzzing!”
Su Yan sat cross-legged in the cave. The light column of qi and blood shot out from his body, and gathered a golden fierce beast hovering in the air. Fuzzy as it was, the Golden-feathered Eagle formed of qi and blood could enhance his fighting force rapidly.
This was the excellent thing about martial arts. And Su Yan couldn’t help wondering how powerful would the strongest Martial Art of the Human Alliance be.
“To transform by qi - the true meaning of Form-intention Boxing. The stronger I am, the more powerful martial arts I have!”
His eyes snapped open with glaring light. Su Yan took out the barbecued Water & Fire Snake, which tasted unexpectedly delicious and contained qi-blood more powerful than that of the Golden-Feathered Eagle.
Su had a sense of ice and fire after eating more meats, sometimes feeling extremely cold and sometimes feeling extremely hot.
That shocked him. The flesh of the Water and Fire Snake must be very valuable. If sold out, he could gain tens of millions of Huaxia Coins. The qi and blood in Su Yan’s body condensed and solidified in the process of refining his body through ice and fire. The next day Su Yan felt a powerful force filling his body, his muscles roaring and emanating brilliant lights, resuscitating powerful qi and blood like a hundred horses galloping.

The two beast-kings he ate were not much left. The essence and blood he refined strengthened his body, making him feel so mighty that he could even tear a wild wolf with bare hands.
“I wonder if I have the strength to pull two hundred horses now.”
“It all thanks to the Incipient Scripture. Without it, it would be impossible for me to assimilate all the essence and blood. And thank god the dragon totem didn’t plunder this time”
Su Yan opened his eyes and smiled excitedly. Experiencing the magical use of such a great martial art, he would definitely go further in future cultivation. “I have been cultivating exclusively for quite a while.”
Su looked around, and for some reason, he had an impulse to eat all the rocks all over the ground.
“Am I possessed by the devil?”
Su shivered. How come that he even wanted to eat the stones? Hadn’t he had enough? Having no idea what went wrong, he just felt so hungry that he could eat a bison.
“Why am I so hungry? Did I eat too much? And this is the sequela of it?”
His eyes were growing red and he felt so extremely hungry that he could not stand the feeling any longer. He wanted more energy to replenish the body’s supply of blood. This terribly hunger caused him to breathe heavily, his reddening eyes fixed on the remaining Water and Fire Snake. He shuddered as it was raw meat. He swallowed instinctively. He was as hungry as he could be.
“Damn, why am I so hungry?”
He could only take out a Vermilion Fruit, put it in his mouth, then chewed it and swallowed it. Before he could taste it, his body began to make loud noises because the fruit was too powerful. He was probably going to get blown up. His body, however, gushed out a devouring power, frantically and greedily absorbing the energy of the Vermilion Fruit, more quickly than he had expected. And the tremendous vital essence the fruit had was quickly absorbed by his body in such a short time. More surprisingly, his body didn’t seem to be satisfied at all.
“How does this happen?”
Su Yan was terrified and wondered if something had changed in his body. He hadn’t practiced the Incipient Scripture, so that was the raw physical response of his body.
With enough energy consumed, so much energy that it overwhelmed him, his body experienced severe pain. He endured with indomitable will, and finally it was like his body was freed of a yoke!
“Buzz!”
Su Yan’s body got so dazzling bright and the energy in him was as great as a beast, devouring the essence of heaven and earth and absorbing the power of the Vermilion Fruit. His body was like a bottomless abime, absorbing all energy. In the process of absorption, however, he did not feel his energy gradually become stronger, as if all energy gathered in his potential.
What was going on here? It had been going on for an hour, and it was getting worse. The fruit was no longer enough for the body to absorb.
"Bullshit!"
Su Yan took out the second fruit. Swallowing it, the whole body had a violent tremor, and a faint golden shadow gradually appeared around his body. His body seemed to disappear, and the golden shadow was terrible. It was like a supernatural standing between heaven and earth, looking down on everything.
It was a scene of extreme horror, and his body had undergone a miraculous change as if freed of a mysterious manacle, emanating the terrifying air. He did not know that his body had changed sharply, but his soul was warped and stirred. Strange memories came to his mind.
In a mysterious and magnificent space, he saw a real dragon, roaring and shouting, resounding through the clouds. The dragon spat out blood that submerged him directly. The broken memory, though vague, gave him the creeps. Was it the memory he lacked? The dragon totem on his arm remained silent, yet the terrible hunger forced him to eat the third fruit.
The energy of the third fruit was so great like a perfect storm of force that it greatly strengthened Su Yan’s body. The qi and blood in his body boiled like roaring waves.
The mighty energy of three vermilion fruits gathered in Su Yan’s body. As if opening a floodgate, terrible power accumulated in his body. His potential force was gradually awakening.
Struck by shock, Su Yan asked out of extreme surprise and incredibility, "So I just awakened? Only those newly awakened need a lot of supplements to open the way of awakening. It is the way of the beginning of all things. It is the way of life awakening."

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
