"Gu Xue!"
Gu Sihai’s eyes widened. He stared at Gu Xue’Er as she ran over and snapped, "How many tis have I told you? It’s chaotic outside. There are murderous bandits and man-eating Demon Fiends everywhere. Are you running out there just to serve yourself up as a al for them?"
"But Big Brother is here!"
Gu Xue’Er was unconcerned. She walked over to Gu Zheng and pinched Gu Wan’Er’s soft, rosy cheek.
"Don’t you touch !"
Gu Wan’Er slapped her hand away, pouting. She glared huffily at Gu Xue’Er. "When Big Sister gets back, I’m definitely going to tell her you were bullying again!"
"So what if I bully you? I love bullying you. What are you going to do about it?" Gu Xue’Er said, winking mischievously, and reached out to pinch Gu Wan’Er’s cheek again.
"Big Brother, save !"
Gu Wan’Er dodged, covering her cheeks and crying out.
"Gu Xue, that’s enough."
Gu Zheng, with Gu Wan’Er on his back, stepped aside. "It’s not impossible for you to go out. When you break through to the Grandmaster realm, I’ll take you out myself."
"Huh?"
Gu Xue’Er’s pretty face fell, and her shoulders slumped. She cried out in anguish, "You might as well just kill !"
"Haha, serves you right for being slow." Gu Wan’Er gloated with a laugh. "When I start my Martial Arts training, I’ll definitely beco a Grandmaster within three years. Then I can go help Big Brother!"
"Heh heh..."
Gu Xue’Er’s lips twitched. "What does a little brat like you know? You think becoming a Grandmaster is that easy? Don’t you know countless people practice Martial Arts their whole lives and never break through to the Grandmaster realm?"
"That’s you, not ." Gu Wan’Er cupped her little face and said smugly, "Big Brother said I’m a genius. Becoming a Grandmaster will be no problem for !"
"Keep dreaming!"
Gu Xue’Er couldn’t stand it and quickly pinched her rosy cheek again. Then she turned and ran, leaving behind a trail of bell-like laughter and a wailing, furious Gu Wan’Er.
It took Gu Zheng quite a while to soothe the little girl and make her happy again.
That evening, the family sat together, eating and chatting joyfully.
Gu Zheng recounted so of his more interesting experiences for everyone.
Gu Wan’Er would gasp in amazent from ti to ti, her eyes filled with adoration.
After dinner, Gu Zheng called Gu Sihai over. The two of them went into the study and closed the door.
"Father, have a taste of this." Gu Zheng took out a Great Strength Source Fruit and handed it to Gu Sihai.
"This kind of fruit... didn’t I eat one last ti?"
Gu Sihai took the fruit and examined it.
"This one is different from the last one," Gu Zheng explained. "Eating this will imdiately increase your strength by a thousand catties."
"What?"
Gu Sihai was shocked. "Then I can’t eat this fruit. Ping’an, you take it and eat it."
With that, he handed the Source Fruit back to Gu Zheng.
"I have more."
Gu Zheng pushed it back. "Besides, I don’t need this extra thousand catties of strength. But it’s different if you eat it, Father. You’ll have more power to protect yourself and take care of the family."
"...Alright."
Gu Sihai was silent for a mont, then nodded. Without further hesitation, he ate the Source Fruit in a few quick bites.
As the fruit’s flesh entered his stomach, it transford into a ball of energy that spread through his limbs and bones.
A surge of power imdiately followed, spreading from Gu Sihai’s hands and feet, up his cervical spine and waist... until it filled his entire body. It strengthened his tendons, hardened his bones, and caused his muscles to swell.
WHOOSH!
An aura seeped out from his pores, enveloping Gu Sihai’s body.
Just as Gu Sihai’s skin turned completely red, Gu Zheng keenly sensed a sliver of Divine Wondrous fluctuation being born within his body.
The Strengthening Source Fruit pushed one’s strength and Constitution to their limits.
The Great Strength Source Fruit, building upon that limit, increased strength and gave birth to the Divine Wondrous!
It was the sa principle by which Gu Zheng generated Divine Wondrous by allocating points to increase his strength.
The last ti he left Qingshi County, Gu Sihai had consud a Strengthening Source Fruit.
Now, by consuming the Great Strength Source Fruit, he had leaped past his limits and stepped into the Alien Body realm!
Of course, for now, only his strength and Constitution had reached the Alien Body · Xianfeng level. His agility and Spirit would need to be slowly increased later before they could be broken through as well.
All in all, the combination of the Strengthening and Great Strength Source Fruits could be used to forcibly create an Alien Body realm expert.
Unfortunately, Source Fruits were not easy to obtain; it was purely a matter of luck.
...
"Good, good, good!"
Feeling the power surging within him, Gu Sihai’s flushed face was filled with excitent. "This feeling... it’s incredible!"
A thousand catties of strength. He had actually gained a thousand catties of strength in an instant!
Aside from the pure Barbaric Force, Gu Sihai also sensed a peculiar power.
"There’s sothing even more incredible."
With a flick of his wrist, another Source Fruit appeared in Gu Zheng’s hand. He offered it to Gu Sihai. "This is another type of Source Fruit. Father, have a taste."
"...Alright."
Gu Sihai had been about to say sothing, but seeing the serious look on Gu Zheng’s face, and knowing his son’s disposition, he didn’t hesitate. He took the fruit and swallowed it in a couple of bites.
The next mont, an explosion went off inside his body, as if a ball of fire was burning him from within. Gu Sihai broke out in a sweat that drenched his clothes.
Hot air billowed from his mouth and nose, and a cluster of flas lit up in Gu Sihai’s eyes.
"HA!"
He opened his mouth, and a red glow shone from the back of his throat. He actually spat out a ball of fire that, like a Fire Snake, burned the air with a CRACKLING sound.
Gu Sihai was stunned.
"This... this is..."
"This is the magic of the Source Fruit," Gu Zheng said with a light chuckle. "Father, the Source Fruit you just ate grants an Anomalous Power called ’Fury Fla’."
"This ’Fury Fla’ is quite wondrous. The angrier and more furious you are, the stronger it becos. In a fit of rage, lting gold and severing iron will be a simple matter."
"However, when you use this ’Fury Fla’ ability, you must fuel it with that peculiar power that was just born inside you."
"This peculiar power has a na: Divine Wondrous!"
"If your Divine Wondrous is depleted and you force yourself to use ’Fury Fla’ again, you will be consuming your life force, which is equivalent to shortening your lifespan!"
As he finished, Gu Zheng’s expression was grave.
[Source Fruit: Fury Fla]
This was one of the Source Fruits he had subsequently obtained in the Thousand Star Lake Domain.
After consumption, it allowed a person to directly master a Superpower.
Gu Zheng already possessed the "Fire Manipulation" Demon Technique, so "Fury Fla" was not of much use to him. It was better to give it to his father.
This way, in addition to his Martial Arts, Gu Sihai would also have a skill that consud Divine Wondrous.
If he ever encountered a Demon Fiend, even one of the Spiritual Body Type, he would be able to harm it.
"I’ll rember that."
Gu Sihai took a deep breath, calming himself down, and said solemnly, "Ping’an, don’t you worry. I’ll take care of everything at ho!"
"I believe you."
Gu Zheng nodded. With another flick of his wrist, two more Source Fruits appeared.
"You..." Gu Sihai’s eyes went wide.
"These are two Divine Mysterious Fruits."
Gu Zheng explained, "Consuming the one on the left will instantly give you ten units of Divine Wondrous, Father. Consuming the one on the right will double the Divine Wondrous you gained from the left one."
"Father, take these and hide them for now. When you need them, consu them together—left one first, then the right!"
Gu Sihai was speechless.
’Gu Zheng has thought of everything!’
He had just generated a small amount of Divine Wondrous, and imdiately he was given Divine Mysterious Fruits.
According to Gu Zheng’s explanation, if he consud these two Source Fruits in succession, the amount of Divine Wondrous he would gain would undoubtedly be abundant.
It would be enough for him to use "Fury Fla"!
However, this so-called "abundance" was only temporary.
By Gu Zheng’s estimate, it would be 50 units of Divine Wondrous at most.
Once it was used up, the subsequent recovery would be just as slow—in fact, it would be extrely slow.
Because he didn’t cultivate a True Skill!
Without cultivating a True Skill, even if Gu Zheng gave him a Rejuvenation Pill, Gu Sihai wouldn’t be able to digest it.
Gu Zheng didn’t lack the Divine Wondrous produced by consuming Divine Mysterious Fruits; he could obtain it by allocating points or cultivating his True Skill.
But giving them to Gu Sihai was imnsely useful.
It would allow Gu Sihai to possess the combat power of an Alien Body · Hanshan expert for a short period.
By consuming Divine Wondrous to unleash "Fury Fla," he could absolutely kill an expert at the Alien Body · Hanshan level if they were caught off guard!
...
Gu Sihai left.
He left the study with a heavy heart, carrying the two Divine Mysterious Fruits.
With that one series of moves, Gu Zheng had transford his father, letting him soar to new heights.
While Gu Sihai was excited about his newfound power, he also felt a heavy pressure in his heart.
He knew very well. The more chaotic and dire the situation outside beca, the more Gu Zheng would try to find ways to strengthen the family’s power!
...
Gu Zheng didn’t know what his father was thinking.
After seeing Gu Sihai off, Gu Zheng called Gu Pan’Er over. He had his big sister consu a Strengthening Source Fruit first, followed by a Great Strength Source Fruit.
Just like that, he had created another mber of the Gu family whose strength and Constitution reached the Alien Body · Xianfeng level, and who had just begun to generate Divine Wondrous.
Gu Pan’Er had inherited Gu Sihai’s steady temperant and wouldn’t go around boasting just because she had suddenly beco stronger.
If it had been Gu Feng or Gu Xue, he was sure the whole county would know within a few days.
Gu Pan’Er was different. Before returning to her room to wash up, she told Gu Zheng to eat such strange fruits himself from now on.
A short while after she left, she ca back and handed Gu Zheng a letter.
A letter left by Li Cunyi.
Gu Zheng opened it, and his gaze instantly sharpened!
