9 The First Wave of Enemies

Unfortunately, although Zhu Wuyang had fused the remaining breakthrough points with the Azure Dragon Concealment Art, the Azure Dragon Concealment Art still had not broken through to the Lesser Mastery stage.

As a top-notch concealment secret technique, the Azure Dragon Concealment Art required a lot of breakthrough points to advance.

However, although he did not break through, he should be able to hide from the detection of a Body Tempering realm martial artist. Even for a High-level Meridian Forging Realm martial artist, he should have a 30% chance of hiding from him.

Zhu Wuyang sighed. Just as he was about to think about how to increase the chances of him hiding his cultivation, his gaze inadvertently landed on the bed.

The fragrant wooden bed that was more than ten square meters wide had already become dirty. There were stains everywhere, and a stench lingered on it.

It was the impurities expelled from Zhu Wuyang’s body during the process of forging a flawless Dao foundation and increasing his strength. At this moment, Zhu Wuyang realized that his had already turned black and his entire body was wrapped in a layer of dirt.

“Urgh…”

Zhu Wuyang almost vomited. He quickly took off his clothes and found a basin of hot water to wipe himself. Then, he threw her dirty clothes and towel onto the wooden bed.

In order to prevent others from discovering the abnormality on the bed, he wanted to burn all these things that might expose his rebirth and increase in strength to prevent himself from being killed.

Soon, the wooden bed was set aflame by Zhu Wuyang. Accompanied by a raging fire, the wooden bed and the stains on it were burned to ashes.

“Congratulations to the host for taking off your own clothes for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for wearing clothes for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for playing with fire for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for making a decision for the third time in your life. You have received 100 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for saving yourself for the first time in your life. You have received 2,000 breakthrough points…”

… .

Zhu Wuyang was stunned for a moment before he was drowned by the strange power that surged over. The Qi and blood essence in his body continuously increased and strengthened, becoming more and more robust and pure, and the tempering of every tendon became more and more powerful.

Ordinary people dreamed of obtaining such opportunities and transformation. They were already extremely happy that their strength could increase by a small realm every year. However, Zhu Wuyang was different. His strength increased by dozens of small realms a day, but he was extremely sad.

Even those geniuses who could advance a small realm in a few months when they were cultivating their tendons were nothing compared to Zhu Wuyang.

When the breakthrough points of this wave were successfully digested, Zhu Wuyang’s strength also smoothly broke through to a new realm.

Perfection of Tendons Refinement Realm!

Every single one of his tendons had become extremely round and tough, far surpassing martial artists of the same level. Even among the many Princes and Princesses, he could be considered a genius, his strength forming a whole in his body.

With every move, Zhu Wuyang could use the tendons of his entire body to unleash extremely ferocious power, like a lion or tiger.

To Zhu Wuyang, pulling a stone bow was just a piece of cake. He could also easily lift a huge rock that weighed thousands of catties. This was Zhu Wuyang’s strength after reaching the Perfected Tendons Refinement stage.

At this moment, even a martial artist at the Golden Bones Refinement Realm or Five Viscera Refinement Realm would probably not be able to compare to Zhu Wuyang in terms of strength. It could be seen how solid Zhu Wuyang’s cultivation foundation was.

“Congratulations to the host for stepping into the Perfected Tendons Refinement stage for the first time in your life. You have obtained 600 breakthrough points. Due to the importance of strength, 90% of the breakthrough points will be used to increase the host’s strength!”

While Zhu Wuyang was adapting to his increased strength and absorbing another wave of strange power, two palace maids were walking towards the Crown Prince’s chamber with all kinds of delicacies.

If Zhu Wuyang could see these two palace maids, he would realize that these two palace maids were the two personal maids arranged by the 38th Prince, Zhu Wensi’s trusted eunuch, Fu Anli.

Lai Chun and Chu Xia!

“Ever since the 168th Prince was conferred as the Crown Prince yesterday, His Highness has been lying in his bedchamber without eating or drinking. It’s been a day. If this continues, I’m afraid something will happen,” Lai Chun said with a bitter expression.

Chu Xia sighed. “Any Prince would be like this when they encounter such a thing. The day the 134th Prince became the Crown Prince, they went crazy. Compared to the 134th Prince, the 168th Prince is already not bad.”

“For the ordinary Princes and Princesses, there’s still a chance for them to live. However, if they succeed to the position of Crown Prince, they basically won’t be able to live for long.” Lai Chun frowned slightly. “I wonder how long His Highness 168th can last. I hope he can buy more time for His Highness 38th. It’s best if something happens to him a few days before the Martial Emperor dies from madness. That way, there’s no need to choose a new Crown Prince.”

Chu Xia hurriedly looked around. “Be careful with your words. There are many shadows in the palace. If the spies of the other Princes and Princesses hear this, I’m afraid it will be troublesome.”

“I understand.” Lai Chun nodded. “It’s just that it’s a pity for Prince 168. With his standard, he wouldn’t have been targeted by the crazy Emperor who’s jealous of talents. However, he was pushed to the position of Crown Prince. I’m afraid he won’t be able to escape death.”

Chu Xia said, “Life and death are decided by the heavens. I can only say that His Highness is unlucky. It’s a pity that His Highness is so handsome but will die like this.”

“If you feel that it’s a pity, why don’t you sleep with him? Perhaps you can get pregnant with a Royal Dragon or Phoenix and leave a seed for His Highness.” Lai Chun covered her mouth and smiled.

“I’ll tear your mouth apart.” Chu Xia blushed and was about to grab Lai Chun’s face. “We’re His Highness 38th’s people. We haven’t served His Highness 38th yet. How can we give ourselves to His Highness 168th? If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll hit you.”

Lai Chun curled her lips. “His Highness 38th has already given us to His Highness 168th as his personal maidservants. His Highness 168th can have us at any time. It’s very difficult for you to maintain your innocence. You should submit early.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? All the Princes and Princesses in the palace who have some ambition won’t easily lose their virginity. Unless they have stepped into the Perfection of Meridian Forging Realm, once their Yang and Yin Essence are destroyed, it will definitely cause their cultivation speed to plummet. His Highness 168th won’t want us easily.” Chu Xia retorted, “Moreover, we were sent to monitor His Highness 168th. How can we have any close relationship with him?”

Lai Chun smiled. “If he can continue living, His Highness 168th will naturally not easily destroy his Primordial Yang Qi. But after succeeding as the Crown Prince, His Highness 168th might be killed by the mad Emperor at any time. Basically, there’s no future to speak of. Do you think His Highness 168th will still guard his Primordial Yang Qi?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So both of us have to be mentally prepared for His Highness to make that kind of request. Fortunately, His Highness was born good-looking, so we won’t lose out.”
