Chapter 650: Bad Disciples Get Food Processed

Chapter 650: Bad Disciples Get Food Processed

The wall of blades slammed into Huis skin. They skidded off his crystalized body, sending shocks flying. Little bits of crystal chipped off of him, but the blades did little damage. It grew closer and closer, pressing his arms against his body, then pulled back abruptly. The blades spun away from him, and the pressure lessened once more.

Hui breathed out, relieved. Alright. Not so bad. I was able to hold it off, and I picked up a few cuts, but given how bad it looked, it could have been much worse! Especially given how much body cultivators like pain.

A gentle female voice resounded from the steel walls. Round One completed. Advancing to Round Two.

Huis stomach dropped out from under him. Thats not all?

Beginning cycle

Wait wait waithow many rounds are there? Hui shouted. This is a cultivation world! They love outrageous numbers! Ten would be reasonable, but a hundred is more than possible! Maybe a round hundred and eight? Yes, yes. I can probably handle that much. It would be difficult, but maybe I could

Ten, the voice said.

Ten? Phew, Hui said, so relieved he spoke aloud.

thousand, the voice finished.

Huis eyes went wide. Ten thousand? Isnt that excessive? Body cultivators, even if you love pain, surely ten thousand rounds is too much for you! How can you last that long?

I suppose body cultivation but thats an unnecessary form of body cultivation!

The walls began to spin again.

Wait, wait! Hui shouted. Can I opt out? Er, leave early?

No.

What, what about, er

Once you enter the chamber, you must survive all ten thousand rounds. Each round grows more powerful, building upon the previous ones. However, if you succeed, my secrets and artifacts await you.

I dont want your prizes! Keep them to yourself! I want to get out! Opt out! Leave! Hui opened his mouth to shout it, but quickly thought the better of it. Come to think of it, I think Ill keep that to myself. I dont want my dear friend here to take me literally and withhold my prize if I do get stuck in here for all ten thousand rounds! No, no. IF theres some loot at the end of the tunnel, at least Im persevering for a reason!

He looked over his body as the blades began closing in again. My crystal body has already been chipped. I can use my combined plant-crystal form to heal the chips with life qi, but that feels like a losing battle. In the end, my life qi is limited. Even if I had qi replenishment pills, would they replenish my life qi? Certainly, I dont have enough life qi for ten thousand rounds of this. Ill be whittled down to a tiny stone! Besides, the plant-crystal form is softer than the pure crystal form. Id get cut down even faster!

I suppose I could try getting whittled down to a human stick, then regenerating all at once, but Im no body cultivator. Im not a fan of pain!

The blades drew closer and closer, quickly cutting the size of the room in half. Huis mind sped ahead, racing at double speed.

Is there any way to get harder? not like that. Harder on the Mohs Hardness Scale harder! Crystalize myself into diamond instead of Im not sure what kind of crystal I am now. Quartz, probably. Thats already an eight or so out of ten, and that metal is probably cultivation metal. All that to say, I cant count on diamond being enough.

Blades scraped by his skin. This time, they cut easily through the outer layers of his crystal form, slicing off bits of him like butter. Hui flinched away, biting his lip as he escaped into the tiny amount of space left in the room.

Ugh. Whats left? I cant get hard enough to resist, I cant fight back

Fight back. Hold on. Since when have I done that? Give in! Play dead! Huis eyes glittered as a solution suddenly came to him. Yes! If I do that, that should work.

Now then, lets give it a try! Circulating his qi, Hui drew out his phoenix fire and enveloped himself in it. Under the heat of the flames, he burned up in the space of a heartbeat. His body crumbled away, leaving ashes behind.

The blades closed in on the ashes, but did nothing but push them around. Little more than a mote of fire in the center of the ashes, Hui waited, holding his breath as the blades closed in entirely. So how does the trial react to that? After all, by all accounts Im dead!

The blades pushed his ashes into a pile. The room closed to its fullest, barely leaving any gaps between the blades, then retracted. Failure. Round Two.

Good, good. I can escape this placewait, wait, hold on! Ill never be the number one disciple if I die in Round Two! Besides, I cant have an official trial room declare me dead. Thatll raise too many questions.

Quickly! Hui pushed the phoenix fire to surge once more. The ashes burst back into flame, raging higher and higher. His body reformed, advancing to the fetus stage, then baby, then child all in a matter of moments.

As it did, Hui casually adjusted a few elements of his body. Last time, I didnt take all the care I could have. I can still make my body even more optimal. Make the muscle fibers denser. Eliminate unnecessary fat. Optimize my organs, adjust my qi pathways and qi organs, like meridians and dantian. Black bits of ash fell away, dropping to the floor, the imperfections burned away. Huis body regrew faster and faster, quickly reaching his disciple age once more.

Beginning Round Three.

Hui grinned. He activated the phoenix fire again, preparing to burn to ash. Ha! Come at me! You cant hurt me if I die first!

Wait, hold on. That doesnt sound quite right Oh well! Hui stared down the blades as they hurtled toward him, faster than before. Phew. I just have to do this another nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety seven times
