Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Physical Metamorphosis, from Tenant Farmer to Stableman (Two Chapters Combined)_2

Pain?

Only then did Han Ye realize that his experience was unique.

He was the odd one out.

Should he be the only one treating this as a hot spring bath?

With the blessing of the 'Dragon-Tiger Physique', his physical body was extremely strong, barely fearing this Nourishing Body Soup.

With the withdrawal of a massive number of people, the number of people on the school field was significantly reduced.

On the martial arts platform today, the starting two hundred people had turned into fifty now.

Only fifty people remained in the wooden barrels.

The spectators watching from the stands were also in a state of extreme anxiety.

"The time is almost up,"

The old housekeeper saw the time was three incense time and signaled with his eyes.

The family servants stepped forward and continued to add herbal packages to the wooden barrels.

"They're adding more?"

Han Ye was very surprised.

He thought that picking fifty people would be enough, but unexpectedly, it continued, and the old housekeeper didn't call a stop.

Was the three incense time just the beginning?

Many people were already unable to hold on, and now that another bag of herbs was added, seven to eight people dropped out one after another.

However, they were considered to have passed.

Another three incense time passed. Embark on a journey to the beginning at n0v#lbin★

The old housekeeper instructed the family servants to add medicine again.

This time, more than half of the people withdrew.

Only seven or eight people remained on the scene.

After adding twice, even Han Ye began to feel a slight change in his body.

He felt his muscles starting to swell and his skin color gradually darkened.

The medicinal power started to drill into his body incessantly.

His whole body was full of strength.

Such a transformation happened to his flesh, which made Han Ye very pleased.

What followed was the third time of adding medicine.

This time, only three people remained on the scene.

Wang Da Niu, the northern ranger Gao Qichang, and Han Ye.

All others had given up on the medicinal bath.

They couldn't bear the strong power of the medicinal bath.

"This medicinal bath is very beneficial to me. The longer I can stay, the better."

Han Ye could already feel the medicinal power deeply penetrating into his muscles, bones, internal organs, and reaching his blood marrow.

A continuous stream of impurities were expelled from his body.

He felt much fresher as a result.

Under four times the medicinal power, Han Ye could still stay calmly in the wooden barrel.

But Wang Da Niu's face had begun to heat up.

"Splash!"

"It should be over now, I can hardly hold on."

Wang Da Niu, who had also persevered until the end, looked somewhat strained, but he and Han Ye made it to the end together.

Seeing the transparent liquid, the old steward standing on the Martial Arts Platform declared loudly:

"The third stage is now finished, today's selection has come to an end. Those who endured for more than three incense time, please stay and join the banquet at my Liu Manor. Other guests, there will also be a feast for you in the inner courtyard!"

At his words, the whole place burst into cheers.

"It's over..."

Han Ye stood up from the wooden barrel, slightly lost in thought. His chest and back muscles had become more solid, and he looked much more domineering.

Though his arm muscles didn't bulge, they seemed as though made of steel, and perfectly shaped.

Add to that his wheat-coloured skin, he looked completely manly.

"After the medicinal bath, I feel there's been a great physical breakthrough. I just don't know what the specific changes are."

He put his clothes on, looked back at the Martial Arts Platform, and headed towards the main hall.

...

The stands gradually emptied.

At the entrance of Liu Manor's main hall, maids on both sides were handing out wet towels. Han Ye took one and wiped the sweat off his face.

He watched the ever-changing clouds in the sky and took a breath of the fresh air.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

"After only the medicinal bath, you've entered the Third Level of the Body Forging Realm. It seems your body is certainly very strong."

A figure, clad in a green martial robe and high ponytail, walked down from the stairs of the exquisite mansion. The tables were filled with a feast of dishes. The woman had a very slim waist, and there was a heroic spirit in her brows.

Han Ye turned his head to look at the newcomer and greeted her respectfully:

"Greetings, Miss."

Liu Lingqi watched Han Ye, who was gradually steadying his breath. She calmly replied, "You've passed the selection and are now part of Liu Manor. You don't have to be overly courteous. Whether it's martial arts or cultivation, simplicity in greetings is crucial."

"I understand."

Han Ye nodded, indicating he understood.

Did she just say that he had advanced to the Body Forging Realm?

When did that happen?

How come he wasn't aware of it?

With these thoughts, he immediately looked at his status panel.

'Name': Han Ye

'Cultivation': Body Forging Realm (Third Level Internal Organs)

'Destiny': Accumulating little to achieve much

'Owned Attributes': Wei Wu Legacy (Green), Dragon-Tiger Physique (Blue), Proficient Fist Technique (Green).

'Wei Wu Legacy (0/100): Your charm makes all women favor you highly. You are like a sweet rain falling on a drought-stricken land.'

'Dragon-Tiger Physique (1/500): Your flesh body is extremely strong, far surpassing ordinary people. You carry the Negative Dragon Tiger Qi, which never dissipates. You can easily lift a thousand jin ding.'

'Proficient Fist Technique (5/100): Your fist technique is very skilled, deep and understanding, slightly higher comprehension of fist techniques.'

He truly was in the Body Forging Realm!

Han Ye was surprised.

Walking beside Han Ye, Liu Lingqi spoke in a leisurely pace, "Body Forging Realm has only four levels: Flesh, Muscles and Bones, Internal Organs, and Blood Marrow."

"I saw your performance in the selection, you did very well. I've already spoken to Manager Liu. Starting from tomorrow, you don't have to work in the farmland anymore. Come under my command to lead the horses. I will teach you martial arts, and you can officially embark on the path of cultivation."

Han Ye seemed bemused after hearing this.

Leading horses...

Isn't that just a stableman?
