Chapter 1050, Boiled Eggs
The morning mist has not yet dissipated in an undeveloped area on the west side of the island.
A circular stone formation of nearly a thousand square meters has stood on the flat ground.
Twelve stone pillars engraved with runes are arranged radially. Each stone pillar is densely engraved with runes, and the broken parts are connected by gold liquid.
Liquid flames like mercury flowed in the criss-crossing patterns on the ground, converging towards the three-meter-high bronze furnace in the center.
"This scale..." Wu Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the formation that was comparable to a football field. He couldn't help but think of the ancient formation that stirred the ocean at the bottom of the sea on Rift Island.
Huge and spectacular.
Moreover, some of them look like the altars used for sacrificial ceremonies in ancient movies.
This formation began to be built when Wu Heng was in the second phase. After all, Wu Heng's cultivation speed was much faster than planned.
The Queen also made preparations in advance.
In the formation, the skeleton array master carried out the final inspection, while the ordinary skeletons piled various materials into the furnace in the center.
"The third stage of 'Heavenly Body' cultivation is essentially to use the heaven and earth as a furnace." The empress controlled the puppet, wearing a black embroidered robe, "These materials are just the initiators. What really needs to be refined is yourself."
Wu Heng's eyes twitched as he looked at the furnace, "Are you sure an ordinary professional can handle it?"
The queen glanced at him and said, "There is no danger to you."
"You are sure that I can be resurrected after my death, right?" Wu Heng sighed and took off his robe. "Be alert in all directions. If the people in the territory see their island master being struck by lightning with his bare bottom, my reputation will be ruined..."
"Don't worry, this place is so far from the residential area, who will watch you?" the queen said impatiently.
"I'm talking about rangers taming beasts." Wu Heng stripped down to his shorts.
The lady continued, "Take off your pants too. They will burn soon too."
Wu Heng turned his back and said, "I'm not kidding you. I'm preaching now. Reputation is very important. You should watch carefully."
The queen glanced at him and said, "Go ahead, I know!"
Wu Heng walked into the formation naked, and when he sat cross-legged, all the skeletons retreated to a safe place.
The queen was lying on her side on a lounge chair in the distance, her long legs elegantly crossed, and a skeleton was standing beside her holding a lace parasol.
"Light the fire!" the queen said softly.
Flames suddenly rose in the altar.
Liquid flames rushed along the formation pattern, instantly engulfing Wu Heng in the center of a fire ring with a diameter of thirty meters.
At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, and lightning condensed into plasma like a giant python in the clouds.
Wu Heng calmed his mind and began to practice his skills.
Crimson lines moved wildly across his body, absorbing the violent energy from all around. His hair turned to ashes, and countless blood vessels burst and reformed under his skin.
Click~!
Dark clouds appeared above his head, and the first bolt of lightning struck, covering Wu Heng's body.
Then, the second, the third..., layer upon layer of lightning fell, submerging the figure in the middle.
……
Island owner's mansion.
The female members of the family were each preparing their own training plans.
At this time, the door opened and Xiaoxiao came in skipping and bouncing. Behind her, Lilith, who was wearing a gorgeous black dress and lace gloves, walked slowly into the living room.
All the women were stunned, and then saluted together, "Chief Lilith!"
Lilith's expression didn't change at all, and her voice was cold, "You're welcome."
Xiaoxiao shook Lilith's hand and said, "Sister Lilith, I want to see the effect of the Body Refining Technique."
The girls narrowed their eyes slightly, but no one spoke.
The Body Refining Technique is the practice of the Island Master's Mansion. It is not revealed to outsiders except those who have a close relationship with Wu Heng.
Lilith glanced at a few people and said softly, "Wu Heng knows I'm coming. Viola, you have cultivated to the first stage. Show me the effect."
Viola nodded.
Lilith couldn't lie about this, and she was just trying to see the results.
"Chief, please come this way." The witch Viola made a gesture of invitation towards the training ground.
Although both are heroes, Lilith's status is much higher than Viola's.
Lilith has been a hero for a long time and has a high reputation in the world. Countless women take Lilith as their role model.
Several people went to the training room together.
Viola walked to the center of the training ground and took off her coat, facing Philippa.
After both sides were ready, Philippa rushed forward quickly with double blades in hand, but Viola just stood there quietly.
When the sword blade was three inches away from her skin, red lines appeared all over Viola's body, and her skin instantly took on a metallic luster.
Bang~!
Amid the sharp sound of metal clashing, Philippa's dagger was shaken away.
And where Viola was hit, only a fleeting white mark was left.
Philippa continued to attack, the double blades falling continuously, and the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the training ground.
Lilith's pupils in the distance shrank slightly.
Although Philippa's level is not high, Viola's skin defense has indeed reached an astonishing level.
Moreover, Wu Heng said last night that there is no limit on occupations.
It’s indeed a little special.
"Captain Lilith, is it ready?" Viola put on her coat and came back. "The effect of the first stage is to enhance the skin's defense."
Lilith nodded, "Yes, that's fine."
Then, they returned to the living room together.
Xiao Xiao asked, "Sister, do you want to practice too?"
Lilith said, "Wait until your uncle comes back, and I'll discuss it with him."
"Oh!" Xiaoxiao nodded.
After sitting in the living room and drinking tea for a while, Lilith stood up and said, "Okay, I'm leaving first. When Wu Heng comes back, ask him to call me."
"Yes, Chief!" Several people saluted.
After Lilith leaves.
Shannella looked at Xiaoxiao with some curiosity, "Xiaoxiao, did Wu Heng promise Chief Lilith that he can learn the Body Refining Technique?"
Since she came to see the effects, it means she has been promised that she can practice the Body Refining Technique.
Xiaoxiao swung her legs and looked at the people who gathered around her. After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister Lilith gave me a very expensive gift yesterday. Uncle might have felt embarrassed, so he told Sister Lilith about the technique, hoping that she would become more powerful."
After saying that, he nodded and said, "Well, that should be the case."
When everyone heard this, they felt it made sense.
Moreover, the skill is divided into three stages, and the first stage is to increase skin defense.
It's nothing.
Benny, who was leaning on a recliner watching a movie not far away, glanced over here.
I thought to myself, you all will be a family from now on.
Shannara nodded and said, "Okay, let Wu Heng decide on this matter when he comes back. You all continue your training and don't waste time."
Several people nodded and began to prepare their own training plans.
……
On the west side, the training ground.
The sunlight in the sky was swallowed by the rolling thunderclouds, and the entire sky turned into a boiling furnace.
In the center of the fire ring that was several meters in diameter, Wu Heng was like a prisoner nailed between heaven and earth.
The bluish-white lightning and the red flames intertwined together. Every time it fell, it could clearly illuminate his collapsed body, and then quickly repair itself.
It keeps repeating like this, collapsing over and over again, and recovering over and over again.
Faced with this continuous damage, Wu Heng still gritted his teeth and persevered, hoping to break through the third stage as soon as possible and achieve the effect that the Empress had said.
The fire rings and falling thunder lasted for three or four hours.
The materials in the formation were gradually consumed, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the flames gradually died down.
Wu Heng stood up slowly, with white mist rising from his body.
As he took a step, the charred shell on his body fell off like broken porcelain, revealing the regrown skin underneath.
"How is it?" asked the queen.
"It's like being thrown into a meat grinder and rolled around for three days." Wu Heng spoke, puffing out black smoke from his mouth, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you sure you remember it correctly? Is this how you practice?"
The empress tapped his chest with the puppet's fingertips and said, "Don't worry, keep going, and you'll definitely gain something."
"Okay! Do we have to practice again today?" Wu Heng asked.
"We've had enough training today, let's continue tomorrow!" The Queen said, standing up. "Let's go back and leave this to Skeleton."
Wu Heng put on his clothes, pulled her arm and released the [Teleportation Technique], and the two of them disappeared.
……
Island owner's mansion.
Ripples appeared in the center of the courtyard, and the figures of Wu Heng and the Empress appeared.
The stove in the front yard was still releasing flames that shot up into the sky. The wood elf sister 'Eluriya' was sitting cross-legged in the flames, gritting her teeth and persevering, the runes on her skin flickering like her breathing.
Wu Heng and the Empress walked into the living room together.
All the women in the house looked over, and when they saw Wu Heng's appearance, they were all stunned.
Philippa was the first to exclaim, "Wu Heng! You...how did you turn into a boiled egg?"
Wu Heng touched his head and said, "You are the one who boiled the eggs!"
I had just returned from a thunderstorm. My hair, eyebrows, and even eyelashes were all burned clean and haven't grown back yet.
But it will grow back very quickly, and I guess it will be almost gone by evening.
Philippa chuckled, ran over and hugged his shoulders, comforting him: "It's okay! Your boiled eggs are not ugly. They are the best-looking and whitest boiled eggs I have ever seen."
"Thank you." Wu Heng came over and sat down on the sofa.
Catwoman Robey brought tea, and Shannella asked, "Phase 3, how is the effect? I saw thunder where you were practicing."
Wu Heng took a sip of the tea and said, "It doesn't feel good. You should wait until the hero stage before moving on to the third stage!"
"We're still early!" said Shannara.
At this time, Minnie handed him an ice-cold towel and wiped the dust off his face. She continued, "Leader Lilith came this morning. Sister Viola demonstrated the results of the first stage of the Body Refining Technique to her. The leader seemed very interested and said she would come to practice tomorrow."
"I know." Wu Heng took out his cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was a message from Lilith.
The content is also very simple. I feel that the Body Refining Technique is very good. I will come here to try to practice it tomorrow.
Wu Heng quickly replied with an "OK".
Then he said, "Lilith will also come over to practice tomorrow."
"Okay!" Minnie nodded.
She is responsible for the procurement of materials. If there is one more person, more materials must be ordered.
After talking about the business, the women inquired about the intensity of the third stage of cultivation.
In fact, we can see something from Wu Heng's appearance.
Quite miserable.
If he, a hero, has become like this, wouldn't normal professionals be in even greater danger?
After chatting with a few people for a while, Wu Heng got up and went upstairs to take a shower.
……
In the bathroom.
In the misty water vapor, Wu Heng rested his head on the edge of the bathtub and opened the faith value on the panel.
【Faith: 19412/50000. 】
The growth rate is still very fast.
"At this rate..." Wu Heng narrowed his eyes, "I'll be able to break through to the Hero level this year."
The Kingdom of Yeko has expelled the personnel of the Holy See and established churches of the Church of the Spiritual Enlightenment in various places, including in the territory of the Wood Elves and around the city of Lentam.
There are already quite a few churches.
But Wu Heng still plans to focus his main development direction on the zombie world.
Unlike this other world, information is transmitted very quickly in the zombie world, and even without building a church, the doctrine can be spread quickly.
Especially since the population is much larger.
"Then ask Li Yahong to increase the investment and try to shorten the time."
Thinking of the Holy See, Wu Heng felt a little puzzled.
After killing the three heroes of the Holy See, no more news came from there.
It’s actually not difficult to imagine.
Just continue to produce heroes quietly.
The Vatican wants to delay, so I will delay it myself.
When I become a god, none of them will be able to survive.
Moreover, with his current strength, even if the Holy See added three more heroes, they would only be delivering the corpses of the heroes to him.
Especially now that I have unlocked the second stage of the body refining technique.
In the first stage, they were able to beat religious leaders to death with random punches, and the second stage would only be more powerful.
“I don’t know when the third phase will be successful.”
Although the effects of the third stage are somewhat repetitive with the characteristics of the hero, I am still looking forward to it.
After taking a quick bath, Wu Heng got up and walked out of the bathroom.
……
The next day, in the morning.
Wu Heng completed the third stage of training for the day and returned to the island owner's residence with a freshly baked 'boiled egg' look on his head.
In a training area in the courtyard, Lilith was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a stove.
Wu Heng took a look but didn't pay too much attention to it. Lilith was a hero like himself, and she had more experience and was more adaptable to various environments. This kind of training should not be a problem for him.
I returned to the living room, said hello to the women in the house, and went upstairs to wash up.
After soaking in the tub for a while, the bathroom door opened and Minnie walked in with a new set of clothes. "Master, Miss Letili is here."
"Yeah!" Wu Heng walked out of the bathtub.
Minnie's face turned a little red as she helped him put on his clothes.
Wu Heng touched her face and said, "What's wrong? It's not like you haven't seen it before. Why are you blushing?"
"I've never seen you with a bald head." Minnie looked up and blinked mischievously.
Wu Heng scratched her nose and reached out to button up his clothes.
After getting dressed, go downstairs.
The local head of the Snake Emblem Group, the blonde elf 'Laetili', was wearing a light blue dress and sitting on the sofa chatting with Sannella.
Seeing Wu Heng coming out, Letili immediately stood up and saluted, "Master Chief."
"Well, sit down." Wu Heng smiled and sat down opposite.
Letili said, "Sir, I came here mainly to bring you the two items I purchased last time. Miss Minnie said you needed them urgently, so I personally delivered them to you as soon as I arrived."
As he spoke, he handed over a space ring. Wu Heng took the ring and checked the space inside.
He raised his eyebrows. There were 22 [Shadow Body Mirrors] and 17 [Light and Shadow Cubes].
The Snake Emblem Group is quite efficient.
