Chapter 128: Pain to the Point of Suicide
Chapter 128: Pain to the Point of Suicide
"Even more painful than Purifying Spirit Marrow?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, was this really necessary?
Unconsciously, his body began to ache slightly, and the Purifying Spirit Marrow was already terrifying enough.
"Purifying Spirit Marrow is applied externally, while this is taken internally. Although they both cleanse the marrow, there are slight differences," Hai Dean said calmly, "I've prepared the item, whether to use it or not is your decision."
"I've made up my mind, tell me when you're ready," Hai Dean remained composed.
After only three seconds of contemplation, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Dean, I'm willing. It's just a higher level of pain, right? I endured five sessions of Purifying Spirit Marrow in a month."
To enhance one's strength, sacrifices had to be made.
"Don't you want to think it over carefully?"
Hai Dean smiled, "I know you have strong willpower, comparable to an Origin Warrior, but this pain... it's not something easily endured."
"I've made my decision, I'll do it," Li Yuan insisted.
"Alright, I'll hand the item to President Li. Each time you take it, he will guide you through the process," Hai Dean said calmly, "Go now."
"When your physical quality reaches level 15, and if you plan to venture into the Star Realm for life-and-death trials, come see me again."
"Yes, Dean," Li Yuan's heart stirred.
Meeting Hai Dean before embarking on a life-threatening journey?
...
As Li Yuan headed downstairs to his residence, President Li and Dean Xu entered the Martial Hall.
"Dean Hai," they both addressed him respectfully.
"I've prepared a Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither for Li Yuan, a total of twenty units, enough for twenty months of cultivation," Hai Dean stated calmly, "President Li, I'm entrusting it to you. Supervise his cultivation each time to prevent any accidents."
"Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither?" President Li and Dean Xu were both taken aback.
They couldn't believe their ears.
Was this item meant for Li Yuan?
"Dean, is it really Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither? Can Li Yuan endure it?" President Li asked, unable to hold back.
"The combination of Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither and High Source Spring has an astonishing effect. Even a treasure like the Star Earth Marrow Crystal can't match its short-term impact," Hai Dean explained calmly.
"The only drawback is the intense pain it inflicts. But I just tested it, and Li Yuan's willpower is impressive. Consider it a trial to strengthen his resolve," Hai Dean added nonchalantly.
"What's wrong? Wasn't it your request for me to mentor him? Now you have doubts?" Hai Dean's expression was a mix of a smile and a smirk.
President Li and Dean Xu shuddered inwardly and quickly shook their heads.
To ordinary students, they were esteemed vice-deans with authority and formidable strength.
But in front of Dean Hai, they felt like students.
"Additionally, temporarily elevate Li Yuan's contract level to SS-rank. Increase the monthly free resource quota from 2 million to 4 million Blue Star Coins," Hai Dean instructed calmly.
"If there's still a shortage of cultivation resources, let him figure it out."
President Li nodded.
"You may leave now."
"Before Li Yuan reaches level 15 and ventures into the Star Realm, inform me," Hai Dean said, closing his eyes.
President Li's eyes lit up, instantly understanding.
It was clear that Hai Dean intended to provide Li Yuan with life-saving items when the time came.
...
President Li and Dean Xu left the office and descended the stairs.
"Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither, is it really that harsh?"
Dean Xu shook her head lightly, "I've only seen it once, and that Origin Warrior was on the verge of suicide."
"I heard that when torturing captured aliens, they would use Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither, driving them to the point of begging for death and revealing all information," Dean Xu sighed, "Dean Hai is ruthless."
"Without ruthlessness, how can one stand firm?"
"Before recommending Li Yuan to him, I mentally prepared myself," President Li said, "Sister, haven't you heard the rumors about Dean Hai hunting down that Black Dragon outside?"
"What rumors?" Dean Xu asked, puzzled.
"It's said that in the South China Sea, a meticulously built villa was destroyed by a tsunami caused by the Black Dragon. Dean Hai wasn't assigned to the task; he volunteered. After days and nights of pursuit, he ventured into the deep sea and slaughtered the Black Dragon, skinning and disemboweling it," President Li recounted the gossip.
"That ruthless?" Dean Xu was surprised, having only joined the academy a few years ago.
She hadn't heard of this before.
"Of course, I've been with Dean Hai for nearly twenty years; there's nothing I don't know," President Li said. "I'll keep a close eye on Li Yuan."
"If he can't endure it, we'll pause for a while," President Li added.
"Mmhmm," Dean Xu nodded.
Soon after,
As Dean Xu was escorted out, President Li set out to find Li Yuan.
"President Li, you've woven quite a tale," a detached voice suddenly echoed in President Li's mind, "Come to me and repeat it once more."
"President Hai." Li Yang was startled.
...
The following days, Li Yuan continued his routine cultivation.
Kunlun Martial University gradually returned to its peaceful state.
August 8th, 10 a.m.
In Li Yuan's villa, within the underground martial hall, all the lights were turned on.
Li Yang and Li Yuan stood in the center.
In Li Yang's hand was a small black bottle, completely black, with no discernible features on its exterior.
"So much time has passed."
"The effects of the Purifying Spirit Marrow should have mostly worn off by now," Li Yang said solemnly. "Today, I'll let you try the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither."
"Teacher, why in the underground martial hall?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask. "And I had to move everything away."
"You'll see soon," Li Yang replied.
Li Yuan nodded.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure?" Li Yang asked.
"Teacher, let's give it a try," Li Yuan smiled. "If I can't bear it, I'll naturally give up later."
"Alright."
Li Yang didn't dissuade him further and handed the black bottle to Li Yuan. "There are ten small pills in one unit."
"You can try one first."
"If you can endure it, finish the remaining nine within ten minutes," Li Yang instructed.
Li Yuan accepted, opened the bottle, and poured the contents into his hand.
Black, like calcium tablets, they emitted a peculiar scent.
"Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither? I thought it would be a liquid," Li Yuan thought to himself.
These past days, Li Yuan had mentally prepared himself and without hesitation, he picked up a pill and placed it in his mouth.
He didn't feel anything.
He took a sip of water that Li Yang passed to him and finally swallowed it into his abdomen.
For the first three seconds, Li Yuan didn't feel anything.
Gradually, as a Fourth Stage High Rank expert, Li Yuan could sense within himself that a strange power was rapidly spreading from his chest and abdomen to every part of his body.
It felt tingly and numb.
It was a bit itchy!
A bit painful!
"Is this it?" Li Yuan's willpower was exceptionally strong, and he easily endured it without further thought. He directly swallowed the remaining nine black pills in his hand.
Li Yang slightly opened his mouth but didn't stop him.
Quickly, Li Yuan began to sense something amiss. This strange power seemed endless, growing stronger and stronger, thoroughly permeating every part of his body.
"This pain..." Li Yuan clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled slightly.
It felt like fire ants biting into his wounds.
It felt like blades scraping against his bones.
And... a faint sorrow... even more intense than the pain of the Purifying Spirit Marrow.
Moreover, as time passed, the pain Li Yuan endured kept intensifying.
His face completely changed.
"Ah!" Li Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, and he couldn't care less about Li Yang being beside him. He suddenly curled up on the ground.
Pain!
Bone-deep agony! Even more intense than the five times he had endured the Purifying Spirit Marrow.
Li Yuan felt like he could hear his marrow being extracted; his muscles twitched.
His entire body turned red, as if on fire, and sweat oozed out like blood plasma.
"Ah! Ah!" Li Yuan's face contorted, and he desperately tried to endure.
But it was just too painful.
The power of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither was fully unleashed! It was cleansing his body of all 'impurities,' every obstruction to essence energy absorption was being washed away.
This pain seemed to penetrate Li Yuan's soul.
Pain!
"It hurts!" Li Yuan lay on the ground, wailing, completely losing his composure, and his neck veins were fully exposed.
Suddenly, Li Yuan waved his arm and slapped his own head.
The pain was unbearable! In that moment, Li Yuan only wanted to end his life.
In his consciousness, he just wanted to end this agony.
At that very moment—
"Huff!" A pair of hands shot out like lightning, restraining Li Yuan's hands.
His action was stopped.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Li Yuan struggled frantically, but with Li Yang's strength, he easily subdued Li Yuan.
However, seeing Li Yuan's suffering, Li Yang's heart ached.
With Li Yuan's strong willpower, he was tormented to the point of wanting to take his own life.
One could imagine just how agonizing the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither was.
...
Half an hour passed.
The effects of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither gradually wore off, and Li Yuan's wails slowly subsided. A thin layer of impurities emerged on the surface of his body.
But Li Yuan's spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse; he directly lost consciousness.
It was unclear if he had fainted or fallen asleep.
"No wonder almost no one uses this thing for cultivation," Li Yang, who was beside him, released Li Yuan's hands and sighed. "President Hai, you're indeed ruthless, asking me to supervise, did you foresee that Li Yuan would want to commit suicide?"
