He really wasn’t hurt This shocked Chen Chang Sheng, as he couldn’t understand why; even if he had surmised correctly that the Star Brilliance’s transition into True Essence had also helped to cothened his body to this shocking extent, the power behind that stone fragment was considerable

He extended his hand out of the , and under the snow-reflected daylight, he carefully exah he had maintained a calm de within his body had ed to captivate all of his attention, only at this moment, had he started to seriously examine his own body

After a htly twitched; apart fro clearer, there were no other discernible differences, but with the entirety of his attention being focused upon exa his body, he could faintly sense that it now possessed so akin to a different presence

He walked before the mirror and found a hairpin; the hairpin was probably left behind by Mo Yu froo He picked up the hairpin and looked at its sharp tip, considered for a moment, then proceeded to stab his arm with the tip He could feel the sensation of the hairpin’s tip co into contact with his skin and its sharpness, but the sensation was far duller than usual and it didn’t penetrate his skin; the sharp tip hadn’t ed to leave any mark

He increased the strength hich he stabbed his arm and the pain appropriately increased, but it still couldn’t penetrate his skin; it was as if his skin had undergone some incredible transformation and no et the feeling that his skin would be penetrated, akin to a lotus leaf that was sustaining the weight of some dew

Chen Chang Sheng put down the hairpin and took out his small sword for a test

After aat the thin bloody line upon his left arone soe, which increased its strength and toughness immensely; even the most perfect of Purifications recorded within the Scripture of The Way would not have had the same capability as his current state

What had happened? That question could probably only be answered by Venerable Elder Black Dragon Chen Chang Sheng felt the faint flow of energy, or presence, that ithin his body; he no longer suppressed the feelings of uncertainty he had, nor could he continue supressing the sudden feeling of vigour that beset him, he quickly dressed himself and leapt out of the

His shoes touched upon the snow and flattened the underlying foliage, he steadied himself, his expression a little vacuous His rooht wasn’t overly tall, and with the body that had been tempered by his Master and Senior, he wouldn’t have hurt hi doasn’t usually this easy or smooth

He silently considered for a while, through the azed towards the frosty lake within the wintry woods; he wanted to have another test

Gently bending the knees, exerting strength frole step

A rushi+ng sound abounded

Upon the snow in front of the dorrass scattered into the air

Chen Chang Sheng’s body disappeared on the spot

In the next moment, he reappeared besides the lake, a distance of about 30 metres (~100 feet)

Shed leaves started fluttering as the cold wind stirred

He had a vacant look upon his face that was slightly pale

He had never expected to possess such a fast speed

This was all due to the sudden dra of his body

Where did this energy come from?

Was this really the effect of Purification?

Purification seemed to be the only explanation, but it wasn’t one he could readily accept

Thinking back upon his earlier bathing, while washi+ng away the coagulated blood into the water, he had felt an odd feeling, this prompted him to suddenly feel uncomfortable

He traversed the academy walls and left Orthodox Acadeain arrived at New North Bridge

The snoas falling as heavily as ever, piling upon the ground in layers

The two trails of footsteps alongside snow mastiff paw marks that had been left behind near the abandoned well, had long been covered up by the snow

He observed the surroundings; upon confir any attention to hi shi+fts, he leapt into the well

A thud could be heard as his feet touched ground, surprising him

He had prepared hi descent and didn’t expect to reach the botto

The abandoned as previously bottoht into that underground space, to the Black Dragon

But now, it had a bottom; a bottom composed of soil (loess), covered with a thin layer of snow

He raised his head to look outside of the well; snowflakes drifting in caused him to squint his eyes

Squatting down, he gauged the thickness of the accu that the well had been sealed for less than half a day

“You wouldn’t?”

Tang Thirty-Six took the kitchen knife fro at hi

These past few days had been Chen Chang Sheng’s turn to do the cooking; Tang Thirty-Six disliked his cooking, thinking that it was lacking in taste in comparison to Xuan Yuan Po’s, therefore he had co that pickled pepper stir fry with meat should include pickled peppers, it was at this ti had raised the kitchen knife and was preparing to hack at his own finger
