Xiao Ning, who was seated nearby, was astonished to see how many dicinal pills this young man had consud, but he was even more shocked by the courage he showed while doing so; it seed as though he had no idea what effect it would have on him.
What Xiao Ning didn’t know was that Yan Xiaobao was at least as apprehensive as him, but he trusted Lan Feng. When Phoenix said the pills would benefit him, he accepted them without hesitation. Even if Lan Feng told him to leap off a cliff into the abyss below, as long as Lan Feng claid it would make him stronger, Yan Xiaobao would do it.
As soon as the golden pill entered his mouth, it lted on his tongue, and his body trembled. Wave after wave of energy surged into his body, forcing its way through his ridians and flooding every vein.
This energy felt different from what Yan Xiaobao had previously experienced. It was as pure as Qi, yet as powerful as Wu Wei. The energy quickly began revolving through his ridians, gradually turning from white to gold, before eventually entering the martial power core of his Upper Dantian.
When a surge of energy entered his martial power core, an even greater tide of energy began to churn and flow through his blood vessels. His entire body was strengthened by these powerful waves of energy, which pushed their way through his physique. Each ti the energy passed through his internal organs or veins, so remained behind and fused with his tissues, fortifying his body to an astonishing degree.
Although his physical body was being strengthened, this newfound power was insignificant compared to the energy surging within Yan Xiaobao. Soon, the intense pain in his head forced him to close his eyes. The energy inside him was simply overwhelming, making him feel like a balloon filled with too much air—one that could burst at any mont.
Cracks began to appear on the surface of his Wu Wei core. The more cracks that appeared, the more Hui Yue suffered. He shoved another pill into his mouth and sat in a lotus position; his legs were crossed, his hands rested on his knees, and his eyes were tightly shut. While most people would appear calm and serene in such a posture, Yan Xiaobao was far from tranquil. His face was tightly knit with concentration, and sweat dripped to the ground as faint grumbling sounds echoed in the otherwise silent room.
The energy fluctuations emanating from Yan Xiaobao were so intense that even the two experts on the other side of the room could faintly sense them. Everyone’s eyes remained locked on the young man, who was clearly struggling to manage the imnse energy entering his body. Even Xiao Ning felt envious of the pill, capable of generating such overwhelming power. And yet, he didn’t dare attempt to steal any of the neatly arranged pills in front of Yan Xiaobao. Instead, he observed another group of experts, scoffing as he unleashed a burst of martial power into the air.
The Wu Wei he projected into the air radiated a brilliant golden glow. Xiao Ning sat down and began cultivating as well. As he did so, the barriers surrounding him and Yan Xiaobao grew stronger. The more he cultivated, the stronger the barrier beca.
Although Xiao Ning was doing this to protect Yan Xiaobao, the young man took no notice of the gesture, as he was wholly preoccupied with repairing his fractured martial power core. Each ti a crack appeared, Wu Wei flowed out from the core, acting as glue to slowly nd it. Unfortunately, he seed to be fighting a losing battle, as the cracks were forming faster than his Wu Wei could patch them.
With the pill’s energy still flooding his body and refining into martial power, Yan Xiaobao’s energy grew increasingly unstable. This instability further exacerbated his predicant, and gritting his teeth, Yan Xiaobao’s gaze turned frantic as he watched crack after crack spread across his core.
Soon, Yan Xiaobao realized that while he clung desperately to maintaining the integrity of his martial power core, each ti he sealed a crack, his core was actually expanding. Because of this, his core quickly filled to capacity.
"This might be a good thing," Lan Feng said cautiously. "You’ll either break through to the Emperor rank, or your Upper Dantian will shatter completely. If the latter happens, we’ll have to abandon any hope of battling An Hee," he continued with a sigh, his words sending a chill down Yan Xiaobao’s spine. His eyes suddenly sharpened, and his lips pressed into a firm line. Luck wasn’t the only thing he needed—what he required most was resolve, and Yan Xiaobao was fully determined to make the most of this chaotic energy.
Yan Xiaobao worked faster than ever, repairing each crack as soon as it appeared. After so ti, his expanding core began to stabilize. Yan Xiaobao could feel the imnse energy coursing through him—an abundance of power he had never experienced before.
A thunderous boom erupted in his mind as his Wu Wei core seed to transform. Its size had greatly expanded—where it had before been brimming with energy, it was now nearly empty. This was the vast difference between the King-level and the Emperor-level. Realizing that Yan Xiaobao had broken through, both Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng’s faces lit up with excitent. They were now Emperor-ranked experts; they were one step closer to achieving their goals.
As the volatile energy in the room suddenly cald, everyone was left stunned. While Xiao Ning was thrilled, the other two experts wore grim expressions. Hatred had already been sown between them and Yan Xiaobao. The fact that the Great Marshall of the Beast Army had grown even stronger ant their position was now far worse than before.
