Chapter 144 Powering Up

New day, new him.

Dorian and everyone else cultivated throughout the night.

And surprisingly, by morning, they felt refreshed with no feeling of tiredness.

Wow! The revelation was too shocking for the trio.

Hey. If they knew, they would've spent their 'sleeping' time cultivating instead.

Eh?

Butler Sheng suddenly felt hot, as though something was trying to burst out of his body.

A strange power quickly engulfed him, bulging his muscles to the max.

Boom!

An explosion erupted within him. Now, his body felt lighter, and even the back pain he had long developed over the years seemed to have disappeared completely. And his hidden ailment also didn't give him trouble either.

How odd...

Butler Sheng opened his eyes in shock and confusion, trying to find clarity in the matter.

"Congratulations. You have just broken through to the 1st Dan of the True Qi Realm."

(∆_∆)

....

It took a minute for things to register in their brains.

What?!!!

Raulin and Zhulyn heard Pandrol's words and gasped in awe and envy.

"Sheng! How was it? How do you feel?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Tell us how you feel!"

The duo couldn't help rushing towards the dazed Butler Sheng, wanting to know what it felt like to break through.

Right off the bat, they noticed some difference between the former and the latter Butler Sheng.

Yes. The former him still gave off a very intimidating aura. But it wasn't as intense as the new him.

It was as though raw power would seep out of his flesh. What was this?

The duo looked at Butler Sheng from head to toe, accessing the few changes in his physical appearance.

His back was straight, he was taller, his hair color seemed slightly brighter, and the few age lines faded away, making them forget that he was a middle-aged man.

The duo were dumbfounded.

Was it just them, or did Butler Sheng turn slightly younger overnight? Even his lips were fuller and peaches than before.

~Hup!

Butler Sheng threw the massive boulder high up in the air, caught it again and again, as though trying to test how far he could throw it, as well as his control on things.

Within the space, one couldn't see the ceiling, as it kept going up and up and up and up... Especially when looking at the library section.

The shelves ascending just never ended. And a majority of things in this hidden space seemed like they were meant for giants, with them being ant-size.

Thus, Butler Sheng was free to throw way up as high as he wanted.

Knowing his maximum throwing speed would also help when fighting too.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

The boulder flew up and came down.

Good.

.

"Daoist. It's also essential that you test your punch strength." Pandrol reminded.

And sure enough, his words stirred Butler Sheng's mind in the right direction.

Loading the boulder firmly on the ground, Butler Sheng took deep breaths, preparing himself for what he was about to do.

"Everyone, stand back."

"Right." The duo replied, taking many steps back, lest they got caught up with something.

"Be careful, Sheng. In the end, it's still a rock. And flesh is meaty. So... Be careful."

"Mmm."

He was a little scared.

After all, his bones could crack, and his flesh could tear, leaving him with nothing but deep pains and injuries. So taking such actions might backfire.

But feeling the strength in his first, he somehow felt confident to take the risk.

Butler Sheng wet his lips nervously and closed his eyes, immersing himself in a deep trance.

1... 2... 3....

BOOM!

With just a single punch, the hardened rock that seemed indestructible... Now had a monstrous fist dent in it, as well as several cracks on its body.

Boom! Boom!

Two more attacks, and it not only broke but shattered into several pieces as though Butler Sheng had lived it apart like tofu.

This... This... Biology has been defied.

The duo clenched their fists with maniacal looks of determination in their eyes.

No way! They had to break through fast!
