Chapter 613: Body Strengthening Pill
“Body Strengthening Pill!” he exclaid, his voice shaking with excitent. He almost dropped it from the sheer shock of holding sothing so legendary.
To most people in the current world of Acaris, such a na sounded like fantasy. Body-strengthening pills were considered extinct in modern tis—myths wrapped in the dust of a forgotten age.
It was said that over ten thousand years ago, long before the apocalyptic invasion of the Nulls, Acaris had been a paradise.
In those ancient days, Divine Rank experts weren’t figures of legend but beings who actively shaped the course of history. They were not rare like the current ti. Mythic Rank experts were everywhere. They were the backbone of every great faction, standing like indomitable mountains.
There were even tales of experts who, upon reaching the peak of Divine Rank, managed to ascend into the mythical Divine Realm itself—an existence beyond the reach of mortal understanding.
That golden era was when true alchemy flourished. Pills of unimaginable potency were refined, dicines that could raise one’s strength, extend life, or awaken ancient bloodlines. But all of that vanished with the fall of civilization during the Null invasion. Since then, no one had seen such pills, let alone consud one.
And yet, here it was in his hand—small, glowing faintly with spiritual power, and humming with ancient energy. Commander Shen clutched the Body Strengthening Pill like it was the most precious treasure in existence, unable to hide the excitent building in his chest.
He hadn’t just received a reward—he had been handed a relic from the golden age of Acaris.
“This is good!” Commander Shen grinned, his fists clenching tight with anticipation before he imdiately dropped into a cross-legged position and swallowed the Body Strengthening Pill in one smooth motion.
As the pill lted in his mouth and dissolved into his body, a warm current surged through his veins. Slowly, subtly, the effects began to take root—his bones trembled as if they were being reforged in a divine furnace, his muscles tensed and then relaxed as the pill began to restructure their fibers, and even the marrow in his bones felt like it was being refined.
From the inside out, his entire body was being rebuilt, layer by layer, making him stronger in a way that no training or monster core could. The process was painful, but it was the kind of pain he welcod, a pain that ca with transformation.
Elias watched all this from the side, and envy flickered in his eyes. Unable to hold back, he quickly stepped forward to take his turn at the cube. Clenching his fists, he released every ounce of physical strength he had and punched the cube with all his might.
The cube absorbed the strike like before and after a pause, displayed a score—1567.
Elias’ face darkened imdiately. Compared to Commander Shen’s score, his was laughable. It was a slap to his pride, a brutal reminder of how little he had focused on his body. But before he could sulk too long, the cube spat out a pill.
Although smaller and dimr than Shen’s, it still carried the power of body refinent.
With a grim expression, Elias took the pill and began cultivating with it, swallowing his humiliation for now. Commander Leone stepped up next.
With his spear set aside, he focused all the strength he had into his fists and struck the cube. His score—1389—was slightly lower than Elias but still within his expectations.
He accepted the pill given to him with calm satisfaction and sat down to absorb it.
Then Max turned his gaze to Aria. “Your turn,” he said casually.
Aria didn’t respond directly, only giving him a sideways glance before stepping toward the cube. With no hesitation, she unleashed her full physical might into a sharp, precise strike.
The cube reacted as always, and her score blinked into view—1420.
It was better than Leone’s, but only because her strength was higher. Deep down, Aria knew that if they were at the sa level, her physical strength would pale in comparison.
The cube presented her with a pill, and without wasting ti or letting her disappointnt show, she too sat down and began absorbing its power, determined to make the most out of every reward this secret realm had to offer.
Max grinned at this mont, a glint of excitent flashing in his eyes. He cracked his knuckles and took a deep breath, wondering if he could break the score ceiling again—just like he did during the energy trial.
If there was any area where his confidence ran deeper than even his command over concepts, it was his physical strength. With dragons scales and draconic essences as a base, his body was more like a beast than human right now.
His body wasn’t just tough—it was a weapon. As he stepped before the cube, his muscles moved with a quiet tension, like compressed springs ready to explode. He stretched lightly, letting the quiet sound of cracking joints echo in the silent hall.
Just then, Elias scoffed from the side, still seated and cultivating from his previous reward, his expression twisted with a mixture of bitterness and superiority.
“Don’t get too cocky,” Elias sneered, barely opening his eyes. “You might be a 3-star genius, fine—I’ll admit that much. But spreading yourself thin across four concepts? You’ll definitely do worse than when it cos to physical strength.”
Max didn’t even glance at him. He simply smiled, a calm, almost indifferent curve to his lips, before setting his gaze on the black cube.
‘Dragon Scales Transformation!’ Max silently invoked the most powerful ability of his bloodline, and almost instantly, his body began to change. Thick black scales shimred into existence, crawling up his arms and covering both hands all the way to his neck. They pulsed with a deep, glowing radiance, like coiled serpents of ancient power wrapped around his limbs.
BOOM!
The mont his transformation activated, a wild, overwhelming pressure burst out from his body, shaking the hall like a suppressed beast roaring back to life.
Those who had been quietly digesting their pills jerked their eyes open in alarm, their faces turning pale as their hearts raced from the sudden wave of unrestrained power.
Commander Shen staggered slightly; Aria’s eyes narrowed; even Elias froze mid-breath. Max’s power wasn’t just rising—it was erupting.
But he wasn’t finished.
Max gritted his teeth and pushed further, calling upon the terrifying core of his draconic bloodline. One by one, the hidden energies within his body flared to life until—BOOM!—the explosion of power nearly knocked the air out of the room.
All 443 Draconic Essences activated simultaneously. At that mont, Max beca sothing else entirely. His muscles tensed with molten strength, veins glowing like fire beneath his skin. His black scales, once intimidating, began to shimr and shift color, turning into pure gold, reflecting an overwhelming aura of dominance and majesty.
His body now radiated a wild, divine force—untad, ancient, and impossibly strong. It wasn’t just power. It was pressure. It was authority. It was the blood of dragons roaring from within.
The temperature in the hall rose, the air trembled, and everyone watching him felt the sa thing—dread. The kind of dread one feels when standing too close to a rising god.
