Chapter 2128: Lord Chacha
Jiu Lan really couldn't hold it in. After all, the always dignified Youming Warden had turned into this ghostly appearance right in front of her?
No one told her that drinking Dali would make one bald, did they?
Wait...
Why did Jiangnan spit into the Dali?
Could it be that he did it just so she wouldn't drink it?
On purpose?
Thinking of this, Jiu Lan felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart!
Jiangnan: "No way~ I just wanted to spit and play a prank~"
Looking at Youming, whose muscles were exploding, Jiu Lan barely suppressed her laughter!
"Youming Lord, how are the effects? Is it as miraculous as described?"
But at this moment, Youming had no time to care about his bald head or his chilly body!
Instead, he stared at his own arm in shock!
Youming gently waved his arm, then slowly clenched his fist!
The space around his arm actually cracked into hair-thin spatial fractures due to his movement!
By simply clenching his fist, the space itself was collapsing!
These tiny spatial fissures cut into Youming's body, producing clanging sounds, even sparking!
Yet they couldn't cause any damage to Youming's arm!
Jiu Lan's eyes widened:
"(º口º*) Shattering space with physical body? Crushing void with flesh? This... this..."
Youming's eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration: "Crushing the void with flesh! This is the realm that countless ancestors of my Youming clan have strived to achieve since our birth!"
"But no one has ever reached this step. I can say without exaggeration that I now possess the strongest body under the stars!"
"Absolutely no one will surpass me in terms of physical strength!"
Jiu Lan's scalp tingled. Heavens!
One must know that Youming was a genuine Star Devourer, and to have improved to such a terrifying level just by drinking a mouthful of Dali?
Did it have such a great effect even on Star Devourer-level powerhouses?
At this moment, Youming closed his eyes tightly, carefully sensing the cool energy hidden in every cell of his body!
His expression grew increasingly serious!
As a Youming Star Devourer, no one understood the characteristics of Stygian Energy better than him!
It also had the effect of enhancing physical fitness, but the energy was extremely mixed. One had to absorb who knows how much Stygian Energy just to accumulate a trace of this cooling energy used for physical enhancement!
And this Dali was pure and extreme cooling energy, extremely pure and rich!
It was... it was like purifying and refining Stygian Energy into a single attribute?
Youming suddenly opened his eyes. Was that really the case?
"I can feel that this Dali shares some similar characteristics with Stygian Energy, only it's more singular and purer!"
Jiu Lan was stunned: (*°△°) "You... you mean the source of this Dali might be Stygian Energy?"
"Jiangnan refined Stygian Energy to create this? No... impossible, right? How could Stygian Energy be separated and refined?"
Youming's eyes stared fixedly at the Dali bucket, his gaze burning!
"We'll need to send it to the lab for component analysis and comparative experiments to know for sure, but my intuition definitely won't be wrong!"
"If... my Youming clan can master this method and can take Dali to fight and cultivate, the improvement to our overall combat power would be extremely terrifying!"
This was a groundbreaking revolution for the entire Youming clan!
The Youming clan had always fought relying on their bodies, being the race with the strongest physical bodies under the stars. With the addition of Dali's enhancement, how terrifying would that be?
Moreover, taking Dali could greatly increase the rate and effectiveness of absorbing Stygian Energy!
This was practically the sacred medicine of the Youming clan, alright?
Jiu Lan also swallowed her saliva. Imagining the scene of all Youming clan warriors with bald heads, she shuddered violently!
Suddenly, she didn't look forward to it so much anymore!
Youming suddenly stood up, squinting: "It seems that before obtaining the formula for Dali, Jiangnan really can't be killed!"
"My Youming clan was born in the Minghe Star Domain. The Styx River created us. After eons of racial development, our understanding and utilization of Stygian Energy is actually inferior to this human who just arrived here?"
"Jiu Lan! You did well in this matter! There will be a reward! A big reward! I'll immediately send this Dali to the lab for component analysis, and I'll oversee it personally!"
"On your end, do your best to get the Dali formula from Jiangnan! By any means necessary!"
Jiu Lan suddenly turned around, covering her face and said:
"(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) Yes... yes, Youming Lord!"
Youming frowned: -`(๑•̌～≠)´- "What's wrong? Any difficulties? Why aren't you looking me in the eyes?"
Jiu Lan: (づ﹏ど) "No... nothing! It's just that you're a bit too indecent. If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"
With that, she ran out of the office like the wind!
Youming's expression froze. He felt a slight chill on his body, then realized something, and suddenly looked down!
The next moment, Youming's face turned even darker.
-`(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄´-
This... damn it, wasn't this a loss of composure?
...
In the corridor, Jiu Lan looked somewhat happy. Jiangnan's idea really worked!
Before the Dali formula was extracted, Youming Lord wouldn't kill Jiangnan!
That way, his life was guaranteed. He had really bought himself an opportunity!
Humming a tune, Jiu Lan returned to the female prison zone. Suddenly remembering something, she found herself wandering to the Heavenly Peak-level prison area, stopping in front of a half-open cell door!
From inside the cell came an ethereal, melodious humming:
"The pitch-black starry sky hangs low~ The brilliant stars accompany each other~ Insects fly~ insects fly~"
"Who are you missing~"
Jiu Lan gritted her teeth. She still hadn't done what she promised Jiangnan!
But looking at that cell, Jiu Lan's expression again showed hesitation...
(٥•᷄～•᷅)
She had just learned many new techniques and made progress in Youming's Eight Styles. Maybe she could get it this time!
(〃ᵒ̴̶̷◠ᵒ̴̶̷)و I'll just try one more time!
Mustering her courage, Jiu Lan took a deep breath and stepped into that cell!
The cell was still dim, with only a small lamp on the bedside table emitting a pale yellow light!
That silhouette was always shrouded in darkness. A pair of slender, fair fingers was fiddling with a white skeleton using crystal silk thread!
Like a marionette, making various movements, seemingly having fun!
Jiu Lan's gaze immediately locked onto that lamp!
"I..."
Before Jiu Lan could finish, the scarlet gaze in the darkness instantly locked onto her!
"Why are you here again? Who let you into my room? Are you looking for a beating? What did I tell you yesterday?"
Jiu Lan was creeped out by that scarlet stare!
"I just wanted to..."
"No! You don't want to!"
Jiu Lan only felt a blur before her eyes. The red light in the darkness flared up, and suddenly, rumbling sounds along with Jiu Lan's cries of pain came from the cell!
...
Over in the female prison zone, banging sounds were ringing out, while the male prison zone was equally lively!
In Bing Chacha's room, sounds of explosions and cracking echoed endlessly!
This even attracted the attention of many guards who came to check!
∑(°口°๑) "Sigh~ What's going on? Are they doing demolition in there? Why so much noise?"
"Could something have happened? Should we ask?"
That guard was about to knock when he was pulled back by another guard!
(￢益￢) "Are you stupid? Do you dare to ruin Lord Bing Chacha's good time? Brother Ye Hua said that no matter how noisy the room gets today, no matter how loud the screams, don't disturb them!"
"Earlier, Lord Ye Hua sent a new guy over, and Lord Bing Chacha is drilling the new recruit! Do you want to die going in now?"
That guard suddenly understood, his smile gradually becoming suggestive:
(˵ಡꇴಡ) "Oh ho? So that's how it is? Lord Bing Chacha is really fierce!"
"But with this commotion, that new guy must be getting drilled pretty hard, right?"
"Eh~ That's none of your business!"
The noise in the room continued until nearly dawn before stopping!
The patrolling guards all gave thumbs up. Lord Bing Chacha was really something!
He hadn't rested all night!
The next morning, he should have already gathered at the Polang Square to organize the prisoners for their mandatory labor in the river!
But Bing Chacha was nowhere to be seen to organize things!
Ye Hua was getting anxious. Drilling new recruits couldn't interfere with work either!
So he went to find Bing Chacha!
But after knocking for a long time, there was no answer. Seeing the door wasn't locked, Ye Hua opened it directly!
Door Ŏ口Ŏ‧̣̥̇ "Lord Bing Chacha, it's time! You... Oh my god, damn!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Hua let out a startled cry, almost peeing himself in fright!
The room in front of him was comparable to a major murder scene!
Blood was everywhere. Lying on the ground was Bing Chacha, covered in blood, swollen three times larger, covered in wounds, and even his horn was broken!
And the new guard was also lying in a pool of blood, his face swollen, unconscious!
Ye Hua was shocked. Just how hard did they drill last night?
Was it that perverted?
Ye Hua's scream woke up both Bing Chacha and the new guard!
The awakened new guard looked at the scene before him in terror!
He covered his swollen face and shrank into the corner, trembling!
While Bing Chacha groggily opened his eyes, feeling sore all over!
He struggled to get up but kept slipping and couldn't stand, falling to the ground!
Looking at the mess in the room, he was also dumbfounded!
(#) ò口ó(#) "What the hell~ What's going on? Sigh~ My legs, my waist, my ribs..."
Ye Hua swallowed his saliva: "I... I should be asking you what happened!"
He quickly stepped forward to support Bing Chacha, but as soon as he helped him up, Bing Chacha's feet slipped and he couldn't stand!
He directly did a full split and sat on the ground!
(#)￢益￢(#) "Tsk~ Why is the floor so slippery? Can't even stand! M... maybe I got all these injuries from sleepwalking and falling?"
He remembered Jiu Lan and Ye Hua also fell pretty hard?
But that was ridiculous. Even if he fell millions of times, he couldn't have hurt himself that badly!
Ye Hua, however, gasped in cold air:
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ "Lord Chacha! You... you..."
Bing Chacha frowned: (#)•̌益•̑) "What about Lord Chacha? Did you eat the 'Bing' in my name?"
Ye Hua's forehead was covered in cold sweat: (•́口•̀٥) "The... the 'Bing' is gone!"
Bing Chacha was stunned. What 'Bing' was gone? What was this kid babbling about?
In confusion, Bing Chacha suddenly froze, then quickly looked down!
(#)ଵ口ଵ(#) "Ahhh! It's really gone!"
His terrified screams echoed through Ming He Death Prison!
