C20 Nine Times

Lei Yan did not feel happy at all when he felt the spiritual energy filling his meridians. On the contrary, he looked serious.

He took a deep breath. With a thought, he once again slowly guided the spirit energy from the outside world into his body. The further he went, the more Spiritual Qi filled his body. Even he himself was able to feel that somewhat inflated feeling.

His face was completely red. The veins on his body bulged. The blood vessels under his skin were clearly visible. His distorted face made Lei Yan look quite strange. However, he didn't care about the changes in his body at all. What he cared more about was the fact that his body was bloated and chaotic.

The spiritual energy in his body was surging wildly, continuously attacking his meridians and internal organs. The internal and external torture was definitely not something that could be easily endured.

Gritting his teeth tightly, he forcefully endured the piercing pain of his internal organs twitching. Fortunately, in the past, he had some experience and his body was much stronger than his peers. However, the hissing sound that he wanted to release was forcefully suppressed by him.

Sensing that his body had almost reached its limit, Lei Yan once again cut off his connection with the outside world's spirit energy. Although his current body's expansion was not as great as refining medicinal Strength Beads, it was definitely a few times larger than usual.

His taut skin was like an inflatable person. The slightest collision with a sharp weapon would immediately cause an explosion. His eyes were completely filled with blood, leaving only a trace of clarity. Due to the swelling of spiritual energy, his entire person seemed to have a trace of clarity. One could even vaguely see the flow of his bloodline.

He forcefully inhaled a breath, closed his eyes, and the meridians and bones in his body began to surge madly once again. If one could use X-ray vision, one would gently see the meridians and muscles in Lei Yan's body continuously contracting. If they did not contract once, Lei Yan's face would twitch. However, during this period of time, the Spiritual Qi would also be compressed.

Hu!

When he opened his eyes again, more than an hour had already passed. At this moment, Lei Yan's body had once again returned to normal. However, the temperature within his body was much higher than before. The entire process was covered by the fog that continuously seeped out of his body.

When Elder Mu saw this, he felt relieved. It seemed that the process had gone smoothly. By using this method to expel the impurities in his body, it was likely that it would be much purer.

However, only Lei Yan himself knew that if not for the tenacity and flexibility of his meridians and the strength of his body, an hour would have been enough to take his life. Even his real body was still covered by the pain. If it was possible, he really wanted to fall down just like that.

Every time he compressed the spiritual Qi in his body, he felt the same way. It was as if he had hit his chest hard. Who would be willing if it wasn't for the sake of strength?!

"Since there is no problem, that should be the second wave..."

Seeing Lei Yan's expression return to normal, Elder Mu's voice sounded in his ears once again. However, anyone who heard it could feel a trace of excitement or a trace of success.

After taking a deep breath, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Damn it, isn't it just compression? He could even refine the Strength Bead himself, let alone absorb spiritual energy.

Closing his eyes, he once again began his previous repetitive actions. His body kept moving under the guidance of the Divine Sense, causing Lei Yan to be surrounded by the white fog that was spreading out from his body. He looked somewhat illusory. However, the bean-sized sweat and the occasional painful moan that came out of his mouth made others know that he was extremely uncomfortable and easy to deal with at this moment.

As time passed, Elder Mu's expression became even more complicated. There was hope, nervousness, and a bit of heartache.

This method wasn't too difficult, but he had to grasp the limit of the speed. Otherwise, it was really possible that his body would explode. Fortunately, Lei Yan seemed to have done well in this aspect.

The other thing was the pain. He remembered that he had also done the same thing back then. It was just that he did not do the same as Lei Yan, who was' calm and collected '. That hoarse shout could be heard even from miles away. Just this point alone was worthy of Elder Mu's praise.

More importantly, Elder Mu had been counting at the side. Several hours had passed, and Lei Yan had been compressed seven times. This number would definitely move anyone else, let alone him.

This had nothing to do with talent, but it represented everything. It was a person's tenacity, willpower, and potential! At that time, even he himself had only compressed it three times, and was not willing to continue even if he died. As for Lord Lei, who was known as the genius of Lei family martial arts, he had only looked at it five times and had already completely shocked Taiyan Empire!

But looking at Lei Yan's current situation, it seemed like he would continue. How could he not be shocked?! The current Elder Mu's face also showed a rare trace of redness. Elder Mu knew better than anyone what seven times meant. It meant that Lei Yan's potential would definitely grow into a true expert in the future.

It meant that Lei Yan was definitely comparable to the core disciples of those first-rate powers in every aspect. Although it seemed like there was still some difference between him and those core disciples who were included in Ouyang Qinger and even Lord Lei back then, it was believed that this difference would gradually be smoothed out and surpass them in the near future.

Lord Lei, did you see that? Young Master would eventually become an expert of his generation in the future!

Bang!

After a long time, a dull sound came from Lei Yan's body. It finally broke the peace in the cave for several hours. The tightly shut eyes slowly opened under the muffled sound.

"Nine... nine times?!"

Elder Mu, who had somewhat recovered from his shock, trembled as he spoke. From the beginning until now, just the compression of the Spiritual Qi in his body had already been carried out in this manner. The fog that was emitted from his body made the entire cave a little moist. There was even a trace of viscous smell.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes, which had lost their eyelids and were completely exposed to the light, were clearly not used to it.

Every time he compressed them, Lei Yan could feel a warm air flow permeating his dantian. It was precisely because he had discovered that tiny movement that he had the urge to give up halfway. After all, the pure spiritual energy flowing into his Dantian would definitely allow him to prepare for the next breakthrough to the Two Instrument Stage realm.

It was only nine times, and nine times of torture had driven him crazy. Every time, it was as if his skin had been peeled off. It was as if he was throwing himself into the oil pot. Fortunately, he forcefully endured it.

As he looked at that hope, it was extremely weak. Lei Yan's face was dark and pale, but Elder Mu didn't say anything. According to Lei Yan's recovery ability, he would return to his peak in just two or three days.

However, during this process, Lei Yan would at most moan a few times to release his pain. That tenacity was something that even the older generation had no choice but to bend their backs.

"Why don't we take this opportunity to test the feeling of a Astral Qi Stage warrior?"

Elder Mu's comforting teasing made Lei Yan, who was about to fall asleep immediately, regain his senses.
