Shadow Hack - Chapter 973

973 Cultivating The Physical Body

At that moment, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s presence couldn’t affect Li Yunmu in the slightest, and it was an extremely pleasant feeling. In a short period of three months, his soul’s strength had surprisingly increased by two-three folds. This speed of advancement had never happened before, and the result of it was astonishing.

It gave Li Yunmu a lot of confidence.

“Senior, given this situation, it seems like I win. Can I go out now?”

Li Yunmu curled the corners of his mouth into a faint smile and spoke while cupping his hands toward Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu.

“Why are you so anxious to go out? Are you satisfied with this little advancement?” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said indifferently.

When he saw Li Yunmu’s anxious expression, it was as if he was looking at himself when he was a youth. Not so long ago, he also had the same appearance, not understanding the significance of grabbing an opportunity and trying to increase his strength as much as they could.

He’s too young. Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sighed in his heart.

Li Yunmu looked at Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu. Does he have other methods to increase my strength?

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu didn’t reply, but waved his hand, and a wave of energy appeared in the space. It ruthlessly rushed at Li Yunmu like a punch.

Just when Li Yunmu though of using his cultivation to obstruct it, he suddenly heard Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s voice. “Don’t stop it using your cultivation. Use your body!”

Li Yunmu hurriedly pulled the flux energy back into his body and put his hands in front of his chest. The punch then ruthlessly crashed into them.

The power of the punch was enormous, and even after using his all to resist it, Li Yunmu was still pushed back a few steps. Before he could steady himself though, another punch struck him.

Puff.

Li Yunmu spat out a mouthful of blood. At that moment, he could clearly sense his five viscera and six bowels shifting their position. He hadn’t expected that the punch which seemed ordinary and mediocre would surprisingly be so powerful. After all, his physical body’s defense wasn’t simple and was one of his strong points.

Li Yunmu quickly sat down cross-legged and circulated his energy to recover from his injuries.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu looked at Li Yunmu’s situation and stopped his attacks, then said with a faint sneer, “Are you still deluding yourself into thinking that you can become the most powerful person of the immortal world? With such a garbage physical body, you would only be an existence at the bottom rung in ancient times!”

When Li Yunmu heard Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s taunt, his face darkened. How could he let Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu speak such words? At that moment, he became extremely determined to change his opinion.

I will make you see that I am not someone to be trifled with!

Li Yunmu quickly adjusted his breath, then stood up with his eyes red and said to Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, “Come again!”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu looked at Li Yunmu. “Getting angry, huh? But that is useless. Facts are facts. In front of facts, even your bad temper is nothing more than fleeting clouds!”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu changed the space again, and three successive layers appeared. Upon seeing them, Li Yunmu’s eyebrows jumped.

You really want to kill me!

But Li Yunmu didn’t circulate his flux energy to resist it. Instead, he used his lean arms to catch the punch. Right after, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu attacked again, and three of Li Yunmu’s ribs were broken.

By then, Li Yunmu had received five of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s attacks. His body was in a very bad shape, and his hands were shuddering. Some of his bones were broken again, but he repaired them so he could stand strong once more.

Once finished, he rose again.

“Come again!”

After three more attacks, Li Yunmu spat out blood and retreated with a few of his bones broken. But after a little bit of recovery, he stood up while gasping for breath. His gaze remained firm.

“Come again!”

Puff!

“Come again!”

Puff!

Li Yunmu spat out blood and retreated again and again, then stood up once more. The sight of it made Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s eyes jump. He hadn’t expected that the youth’s resolve would be so formidable.

He finally understood why such a superior young talent appeared in a generation which lacked resources. It was because not only was he ruthless toward his enemy, he was also ruthless toward himself!

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s aim was attained. If he continued, the youngster would be unable to endure and would receive a permanent injury.

“Alright, we will stop here today. Did you find the elixirs I placed outside?” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu asked.

Li Yunmu looked inside his heavenly world. The elixirs he had collected from the Yin Imperial Palace hadn’t been taken by his people, so he took out all of them.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu looked at the elixirs and shook his head. Those elixirs were still lacking a little, so Li Yunmu took out a pile of elixirs he had obtained from the outside world.

But Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu still shook his head. Li Yunmu felt troubled then. His body was in extreme pain at that moment, and he was barely able to bear the pain. Knowing he won’t be able to hold on for much longer, he clenched his teeth and opened his heavenly world for Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu to enter inside and find the needed object.

Li Yunmu wasn’t afraid that Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu would have some ill intentions. Given his strength, if he wanted to harm him he would have attacked a long time ago. There was no need for him to wait and plot.

Moreover, although Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was very ruthless toward him, that was only to increase his strength. Li Yunmu had already accepted Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu as his master, so he didn’t put up any guard against him.

When Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu saw the trust Li Yunmu placed in him by even opening up his heavenly world, he couldn’t help but be moved.

In the ancient times, because of his formidable strength, others were always on guard against him. He never had any friends or experienced the trust shared between them.

He hadn’t expected, however, that after so many years, he would find a youngster who would place complete trust in him.

Because of that, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s resolve became even firmer, and he decided to treat Li Yunmu as his own disciple. It made him even more motivated to find the required elixir for Li Yunmu in the heavenly world.

But once Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu entered the heavenly world, he couldn’t help but feel dizzy. Was the youngster a scrap picker? What were all those things?

Beetle emperor’s buttocks, lava beast’s mucus, what is this? Crap! This youngster doesn’t even leave walls alone…

“Youngster, I really admire you… Don’t you have any dignity as a powerhouse? Should an immortal realm powerhouse pick up things like these?”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s face was filled with helplessness as he complained to Li Yunmu.

At that moment, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu made a decision that he could never let the youngster tell the outside world who was his master. It would be too humiliating!

Li Yunmu’s consciousness also entered the heavenly world then. After seeing what was happening inside, his expression changed, and he anxiously said, “Senior, don’t throw it! Those are good things!”

“What good things? How can you call this junk good!”

“That’s the saliva of an ancient dragon! It can be used to stabilize one’s realm…”

“Beat it, I am gonna throw it!”

“You cannot throw it!”

“I said throw it, so throw it!”
