[Hurry up and take them! Take all these pills and you will definitely break through!]
Why did it feel like the system was more anxious than he was? Jiang Yu complained in his heart.
It took him quite some time to finish eating all 9,999 pills. Soon, Jiang Yu felt as if his body was on fire. So hot that he felt very uncomfortable.
His wet clothes were quickly dried by the heat. Not only that, Jiang Yu could even feel... Something was falling off his body.
It seemed that the pain brought by the heat was too intense. He did not even feel anything else other than the pain.
However, when he looked down, Jiang Yu realized that his clothes had been dyed red.
"F*ck! What's going on?"
Why did he bleed so much?
Jiang Yu suddenly thought of the Qigong Deviation mentioned in one of the novels he read.
Could it be that his body couldn't take it anymore and was about to explode because he had eaten too many Body Tempering Pills?
However, the system was calm as it reassured him, [Don't worry, don't worry. It's a Body Tempering Pill. It will temper your body and allow it to undergo a complete transformation. First, it will allow you to change a layer of skin.]
'How could you say something like shedding a layer of skin so easily?!' Jiang Yu screamed in his mind.
If the system hadn't explained, one would've thought he was going to die!
And this pain… He felt like he was about to die!
"You better not be lying to me."
Jiang Yu said through gritted teeth. He could feel the taste of blood in his mouth.
The entire body was probably skinned, including his face.
He wondered if his face would become more handsome after this breakthrough… [Of course! After breaking through, you will become the most handsome man in the world!]
The system's cheerful voice rang out at the wrong time. Jiang Yu's face was dark, although it was impossible to tell how his expression was now.
"You should at least say something practical when you're flattering."
What is the most handsome man in the world? Even if he became more handsome, the title of "best in the world" would not fall on him!
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yu felt that all the blood in his body was about to be burned dry.
However, the breakthrough was not over yet.
He thought that his previous breakthroughs did not last for so long. Was there anything different this time?
The pain did not show any signs of abating.
Was he really going to die?
This was the system's first encounter with such a situation, and it was extremely shocked.
[Could it be… Host, you are experiencing two breakthroughs in a row!]
The system was so happy that it did not notice Jiang Yu's condition.
After checking, it realized that he had actually broken through to the first level of the Body Tempering realm. If he wanted to break through now, wouldn't he be at the second level of Body Tempering?
The system started spinning happily again.
[Host! Hold on! You'll be able to break through to Tier 2 soon!]
'Hold on my *ss!' Jiang Yu muttered in his heart. This kind of pain was simply more unbearable than killing him.
If not for the fact that he did not want to go back and inherit the family business...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu felt that all the pain didn't matter anymore. Forget it. The main thing was for him not to go back. He would do anything to prevent that.
The blood had been burned dry, and Jiang Yu didn't even notice that the skin under his clothes had grown out.
The only thing he felt was the pain for a long time. The heat in his body slowly decreased until the pain completely disappeared. He raised his hand and saw that his hand was covered in dried blood. He touched his face again, but it was still sticky.
"I can't take this anymore!"
If he went back like this, not only would it scare the people in the villa, but he would also be sent to the hospital.
[Host, calm down! It's easy to catch a cold after a breakthrough…]
Jiang Yu didn't even wait for the system notification to finish before he dove into the pool.
Watching Jiang Yu jumping around in the pool, the system suddenly felt that its worries were unnecessary.
Forget it, its host was different from ordinary people.
Jiang Yu washed the blood off his body and washed his clothes. Then he hung his clothes aside and ran to the waterfall to meditate and cultivate.
When he felt the waterfall against his back again, he didn't feel any pressure at all. Of course, he would still feel the slight tinge of discomfort after sitting for a long time.
Looking down at his current skin, Jiang Yu pinched it and found that it seemed to be much tougher than before.
[Congratulations, host!] The system quickly came up to praise him, [Breaking through two levels in a row… This has not happened in the cultivation world for a long time.]
"It's all because of the effect of your pill. Other people can also do the same if they eat more medicinal pills…" Jiang Yu said unhappily.
[That might not be the case.] The system quickly denied, [I haven't seen a physique like yours for many years. It's impossible for ordinary people to break through two levels in a row.]
This time, Jiang Yu's view of the mission had changed a little. If there were no side effects, perhaps this kind of cultivation was not so bad?
The wind in the mountains was very strong, and his clothes were quickly dried. Jiang Yu put them on and went down the mountain to return to the villa.
He casually picked a few large rocks by the roadside to test his physical strength and found that it was much higher than before. Not only that, but even his speed had increased significantly.
Jiang Yu felt refreshed.
"This is great! Give me more missions like this in the future!"
He had thought it through. Instead of holding on to it, he might as well learn to accept reality.
Anyway, it was not that he did not train. The medicinal pills were just to assist him.
However, this time, the system did not reply like before. It only said in a serious tone, [Really?]
"Yes," Jiang Yu nodded. "What? Is there a problem?"
[No. But don't regret it.]
He felt that the system's tone was a little strange. However, since it was his system, it would not harm him.
Very soon, Jiang Yu threw this matter to the back of his mind.
There weren't many people on the mountain to begin with, especially now that it was getting late. Jiang Yu was the only one on his way back.
However, he did not expect that he would encounter such an incident on such an ordinary road.
A man suddenly appeared on the main road and ran forward desperately. When he saw Jiang Yu, his eyes suddenly widened as if he had thought of something.
Before Jiang Yu could figure out what the stranger wanted to do, the other party had already come behind him and aimed the gun at his neck.
"Don't move! Cover for me, and I'll let you go after I successfully get rid of the police."
At this moment, a group of people in blue and white uniforms appeared in front of the main road.
"Put down your weapons! Don't make meaningless struggles!"
Jiang Yu instantly reacted. So this person was a fugitive.
"You want me to help you escape arrest? What crime have you committed?"
The man pointed the gun at his neck, "Don't be nosy! Help me leave! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Jiang Yu didn't say anything. He just curled his lips and sent the gun flying with one hand. At the same time, before the man could react, he knocked him to the ground and grabbed his arms, making him unable to move.
"You!"
How could that person expect him to know kung fu?
"Humph! It's a pity that you're unlucky. You'd better go back to the police station and explain yourself!"
The police thanked him for his help and took the criminal away. At this moment, Jiang Yu also thought of something else.
