Chapter 529 - Tough Procedure

Sweating profusely, Adam was struggling on the early parts of the process, while Su Lan could barely sit still with the excruciating pain that she was enduring.

Her muscles, bones, energy pathways, meridians and Internal Organs were all being crushed then reformatted and realigned with her dantian. The pain of the process was alone to make people insane, and the amount of energy it used was astronomical.

Every ten minutes, consuming an energy pill, Adam was truly pushing himself to his limits to make sure that the Body Reformatting Process succeeded, and was completely focused.

Any small mistake could cause her severe backlash and even death, so there was a lot at stake, as he continued bombarding her body with explosive bursts of energy, before reformatting her body and healing the damage.

The body's interconnected energy pathways, muscular structure and meridians were all very complex and energy was found throughout the body, making it so that controlling and reformatting it all was so dangerous.

Imagine needing to thread a needle tens of thousands of time, while doing intense exercise and destroying someone's body while healing it.

But, with his previous experience in such processes and his willpower, Adam was able to pull through.

Initially, he had only sought to help her recover and breakthrough, but after observing her physique and diagnosing her, he had ended up needing to complete an extremely tough and complex procedure.

He hated using such forbidden methods, and they were forbidden for a reason, since they were almost impossible to use and arguably had more risk than reward.

Imagine using the method on one's self, they would need to endure the pain while completing the procedure, which even Adam probably couldn't do and would be almost impossible for most to pull off.

Fortunately, in this case, Adam had managed to succeed and although he had to use quite a lot of resources that he had saved in his inventory, both on himself and Su Lan, the rewards were incredible.

Her External Cultivation, which had never been able to improve much due to her weak constitution and frail physique, leapt to the early Advanced Cultivation Level.

While her Internal Cultivation had also experienced an unbelievable development to the Master Cultivation Level, all within the matter of less than an hour.

And Adam truly couldn't take all the credit, with her resilience and body seemingly aiding him throughout the process. It was almost as if she needed a method like the forbidden Body Reformatting Method and had subconsciously accepted the process.

Adam fell backwards and lay in a puddle of sweat with his head aching severely after all the strain he had put on his mind, while Su Lan had managed to regain composure and continue to cultivate after the process was completed.

The wondrous benefits she experienced and all the power her body had was incredible and never in her wildest dreams did she think Adam would be capable of so much.

In her mind, such a procedure didn't exist and was impossible for anyone to pull off, which was likely the case, since Adam was only able to succeed with the Mind Ring, and yet Adam had randomly decided to use it on her.

And not only had he healed her weak constitution and reformatted her body, he also provided her with unbelievable amounts of energy that strengthened her body and improved her cultivation immensely.

She felt as though a massive weight that was holding her back had been removed, as she turned around to see Adam laying there panting heavily and struggling to stay conscious.

And looking at his face, she couldn't help but be startled, since it was his actual face and not Liao Wei's, which he had used to disguise himself during the tournament.

While she was also impressed and amazed by his physique, since most of his clothes had also been torn apart, and was admiring how well-trained and perfect his body was.

"So, this is what you meant when you said that I owed a favour to someone else. And I assume your real name's Adam?" she realised, as she fought the urge to stare at his bare body.

He simply answered by nodding his head as he sat back up and began to circulate his energy and recover all the energy he had during the procedure.

And after all the pills he had consumed, he would need to cultivate for a while after the tournament to get rid of all the impurities that would be a hindrance in the future.

"Su Lan, you really need to fix up. You are one of the most talented people I have come across, but you are way too kind-hearted. I am not telling you to kill randomly and become a monster, but you won't go as far as you could if you aren't more realistic and ruthless when you need to be. Such as during our battle, if you had fought to kill, you might not have lost," he scolded.

"I don't know you or much about you other than your name, your sword style and that you are from some powerful family, but I am sure you have had your fair share of struggles. And if you truly want to pursue the peak of cultivation, you must be able to face things head-on, which usually involves death," he continued.

She knew he was right and there were things she wanted to open up about, but she could feel that her body was unstable and that she still needed time to cultivate.

"Stabilise your cultivation, then I will come back to check up on you after my tournament is finished. I would also recommend you to clean yourself up and request a change of clothes," he stated, before activating the Ethereal Recovery Skill.

Looking down, she realised that she was almost completely naked after her clothes were blown to tatters from all the bursts of energy that Adam had forced into her body.

Instantly her face flushed red and she couldn't help but become flustered, but looking at Adam, who had his eyes closed and was cultivating, she calmed down and began to cultivate.
