Lu Ming felt his consciousness growing hazy from the intense pain.
Especially when the spiritual energy tempered his skull, the agonizing sensation made it feel as though the water in his brain was draining out...
He wanted to stop, but the thought of stopping meant all his prior suffering would be in vain.
He absolutely refused to take such a loss!
Lu Ming could only grit his teeth and endure, letting the spiritual energy circulate and temper his body.
He was tempering his original bones bit by bit!
At the peak of the pain, his vision began to darken, with only a single thought remaining in his mind...
If he survived this, his physical body would be ten times stronger!
As for failing to survive? As a protagonist, there was no way he wouldn't make it.
He had no idea how much time had passed before he finally felt the heart-wrenching pain inside him gradually recede.
Replacing it was a heavy, solid power radiating from deep within his bones.
Lu Ming felt his entire body overflowing with strength.
He raised his hand and gave a gentle squeeze, feeling as if he could smash anything to pieces...
It was done!
“Wahaha... I fucking finally succeeded...”
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy. It really hadn't been easy.
Hearing Lu Ming's horrific screams turn into laughter, Big Yellow and the others exchanged looks.
Did he succeed, or did he cultivate himself into an idiot?
“Second Senior Brother, is Eldest Senior Brother okay?” Huang Tianbao asked.
“Don't worry, it looks like we won't get a chance to attend his funeral feast!” Big Yellow analyzed seriously as it stared at the door of Lu Ming's seclusion chamber.
Hearing this analysis, Huang Tianbao, Diao San, and the others stared at Big Yellow, completely speechless.
Great analysis. Please don't do it again...
Lu Ming was laughing. Why did they immediately jump to a funeral feast?
At worst, he would have just become a dummy!
“Boss, did you turn into a dummy?”
Just then, Big Yellow and the others saw Lu Ming walk out. Big Yellow immediately trotted forward and asked.
Huang Tianbao, Diao San, and the rest looked at Big Yellow with pure admiration.
This guy was incredibly bold!
Smack...
Big Yellow was instantly sent flying.
Without any unnecessary words, Lu Ming simply treated Big Yellow to a slap.
“Boss, why don't you recognize a good dog's intentions? I was just worrying about you...” Big Yellow ran back while grumbling and cursing.
Just then, Huang Tianbao asked: “Eldest Senior Brother, how do you feel?”
Lu Ming felt the abundant power surging within his body.
“I feel... like I'm terrifyingly strong right now...”
“Boss, are you sure you're not bragging?” Big Yellow looked at Lu Ming skeptically.
After all, it didn't feel any increase in Lu Ming's cultivation level.
“How about a test?” Huang Tianbao suggested from the side.
“Sure...”
Lu Ming also wanted to see just how fierce this tenfold physical strength actually was.
He originally wanted to find a rockery or a boulder to test it out.
But then, Lu Ming felt a wave of awkwardness. There was no such thing in the entire Duke’s residence...
He had already moved all of them into his Equality Secret Realm.
Helpless, everyone could only head to the barren backyard.
Facing the ground of the backyard, Lu Ming channeled his entire body's strength into his right fist and slammed it violently downward!
“Boom...”
The moment his fist connected with the ground, a thunderous explosion sent dust swirling wildly in all directions. The ground fractured instantly, collapsing layer by layer before this violent force, with his fist as the epicenter.
As the dust gradually settled, a bottomless, dark, and eerie crater was revealed.
Amidst the lingering dust, Lu Ming slowly retracted his fist.
Puff, puff...
Lu Ming blew on his fist twice in satisfaction. There wasn't even a single scratch on it.
It really wasn't a boast; his physical body was terrifyingly robust!
“Holy crap... Boss, they won't make us pay for this, will they?” Big Yellow pointed at the massive crater and asked.
“Probably not? We didn't break anything, did we?” Lu Ming said, sounding uncertain.
When Huang Tianbao and the others heard their conversation, they were utterly speechless. Was that really the issue here?
Just don't admit to it! It wasn't like anyone saw them!
Then, they looked back at the massive crater Lu Ming had punched out.
This was simply too incredible!
Niu Lansan and Fu Chen, in particular, exchanged glances. Both felt that they absolutely could not have withstood a single punch from Lu Ming.
Just then, Fu Chen's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
“There's something down there...”
With that, his figure blurred as he flew directly down into the crater.
Lu Ming peered into the pit and indeed saw a glimmer of light flickering at the bottom.
“Tianbao, take some men and keep watch up here. We'll go down and take a look...”
At the same time, Lu Ming felt a surge of joy. Could he have actually unearthed some treasure?
“Alright, Eldest Senior Brother. Be careful down there,” Huang Tianbao agreed, keeping watch outside with Niu Lansan and the others.
Meanwhile, Lu Ming flew down into the deep crater, bringing Big Yellow and the others along.
After landing in the crater, Fu Chen, who had descended first, spoke up: “Great Sect Master, the situation is right here.”
Following Fu Chen's gesture, Lu Ming saw that the light they had spotted was indeed shining out from within.
“Should we go in and check it out?” Fu Chen inquired.
“Let's look... Since I punched it out, it belongs to us...”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Big Yellow nodded in agreement.
Fu Chen nodded. Without another word, he pulled out a shovel and began widening the opening where the light was filtering through.
Watching Fu Chen dig away so skillfully...
Lu Ming was momentarily dazed. When did this cold youth, who supposedly only knew how to kill, become so skilled at digging?
The Heavenly Demon Sect really was great at training people!
“Great Sect Master, it's open...” Just then, Fu Chen's voice rang out.
Lu Ming looked up and saw that with Fu Chen's digging, the source of the light was fully revealed.
It was a tunnel, its interior paved with spirit stones and painted with strange, intricate array patterns...
“Do you recognize this?” Lu Ming turned to ask Fu Chen.
Fu Chen was startled, then shook his head: “Great Sect Master, I only know how to kill people... and seize resources for the sect...”
Hearing Fu Chen's deadpan explanation, Lu Ming's lips twitched.
Well, only knowing how to do two things is fine. Not bad, you can definitely achieve great things.
“Why didn't you ask me?” At this moment, Big Yellow chimed in from the side. Lu Ming didn't even look at it.
“We both came from Peace Town. How could I not know what you're capable of...”
Big Yellow choked on its words. That actually made sense.
“These are array patterns, I learned about them from Old Man Wang...” Big Yellow argued, unwilling to back down.
“Then what kind of array are these patterns for?”
Hearing Lu Ming's question, Big Yellow instantly shut up!
Fine, it really didn't recognize them! It only knew how to use array disks!
“Let's go. We'll head inside and see where this tunnel leads.”
With that, Lu Ming took the lead and stepped into the tunnel.
Big Yellow and Fu Chen followed close behind, stepping in after him.
Thud...
Just as Big Yellow was about to enter, a pale yellow light screen blocked it outside!
“What's going on? Why can't I go in?” Big Yellow shouted in anger.
Lu Ming was also a bit puzzled, not understanding why Big Yellow was barred from entering.
Subsequently, Lu Ming went back out and walked through again.
There was no obstruction. Fu Chen also repeated his steps, passing through without any issue.
It was only Big Yellow who couldn't enter...
“How about this, go back up and wait with Old Third.”
“To think it actually discriminates against dogs! This place is definitely no good!” Big Yellow grumbled and cursed as it headed back up.
Following that, Lu Ming and Fu Chen continued to carefully explore along the tunnel.
“Where does this lead?” Fu Chen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
After all, they had been walking for quite a while, and the tunnel still showed no signs of ending...
“I don't know...”
Just as Lu Ming finished speaking, the path ahead suddenly came to an abrupt end.
However, beneath their feet, a flight of descending stairs appeared.
“Let's go down and see...”
