Gu Yuena and the others were suddenly stunned; they looked at Liam together, appearing as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Cultivating?
How long are you going to Cultivate for?
Will you be able to make it in time for our "giving ourselves away" plan?
Sensing that Gu Yuena and the others were hesitating to speak, Liam asked,
"Do you have something to say?"
This?
Zi Ji and the group remained silent.
Gu Yuena said with a calm expression, "It's nothing. Go ahead and Cultivate!"
"We'll go back and rest in a bit too."
Liam nodded slightly and said no more. He took out the reward he had received last night—the First Beginning Pill—and began to refine it.
First Beginning Pill: A Tier 8 Intermediate Medicinal Pill from the Battle Through the Heavens world.
It was refined by Xiao Yan to improve his daughter Xiao Xiao's Physique, and it is equivalent to an Advanced Foundation Establishment pill.
However, its medicinal properties are gentle.
It was precisely because of this that Liam dared to use it with peace of mind, and it was also a pill that would be extremely helpful to him.
Although his Martial Soul had undergone a mutation and he possessed various Cultivation Techniques, being born on the Douluo Continent meant that he actually had an upper limit.
Think about it.
How great could the achievements of a native of the Douluo world possibly be?
Even if the System gave him Heaven-Defying rewards, he wouldn't dare to take them!
Now, after refining and absorbing the First Beginning Pill and upgrading his Physique, Liam could be considered to have stepped through the door of Xuanhuan world Physiques.
Bibi Dong and the group stood in the distance, watching Liam Cultivate while also watching Vast Sea City recede further and further away.
Gu Yuena walked to Bibi Dong's side and asked in a low voice, "Did he just take out a pill and start absorbing it?"
Bibi Dong nodded gently and replied,
"I suppose so!"
"I'm not too sure either. Liam has his own rewards, and we haven't asked about them. If we ask, it would expose the fact that we have the diary instances."
Spirit Kite Douluo then looked at Gu Yuena and asked,
"Didn't the Ice Empress get a shapeshifting pill yesterday? What kind of thing is that?"
Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment but did not hide the truth.
"The shapeshifting pill can help a Soul Beast transform into human form without any side effects. One can simultaneously possess everything humans have as well as everything Soul Beasts have."
When Bibi Dong and Spirit Kite Douluo first heard this, they didn't catch the full implication and just nodded slightly. However, upon second thought, they looked at the Ice Empress with faces full of shock.
"No wonder!"
"We were saying that her situation suddenly felt different. We can sense she's a Soul Beast, but she also feels like a Rank 95 Titled Douluo human."
"Is her lifespan also the same as a Soul Beast's?"
Gu Yuena nodded gently.
Bibi Dong and the others instantly lost their composure.
Outrageous!
How could there be such a Heaven-Defying pill? This is essentially letting the Soul Beasts ascend to the heavens!
Bibi Dong and the others also understood why Gu Yuena and her group's eyes looked so strange when they looked at Liam today—each one of them was like a hungry wolf.
The group fell into a period of silence.
Bibi Dong silently glanced at the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji, and her mood became somewhat complicated.
These individuals were all Vicious Beasts of several hundred thousand years. If they all transformed into humans, they would all be Titled Douluos. Once they received the Level 30 rewards,
They would all be just like Spirit Kite Douluo.
In this way, her own strength was already inferior to Gu Yuena's, and the strength of her confidants was also inferior to Gu Yuena's. Her status in this family in the future was looking a bit precarious!
Gu Yuena noticed that Bibi Dong's gaze was a bit off and spoke indifferently,
"You don't need to be wary of us. Because of Liam, we won't be enemies—not before, and not in the future."
"You can rest assured."
Bibi Dong nodded gently, complaining in her heart: "I didn't treat you as enemies either. I was just thinking in my heart, should I treat you as older sisters or younger sisters in the future?"
Some time passed.
Suddenly.
A change occurred in the world. The originally sunny sky began to fill with thunder and lightning.
Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky, extremely puzzled in their hearts. How could they encounter a sea storm just after leaving the port?
However, it wasn't that.
The thunder and lightning in the sky only lasted for a moment before turning into tens of thousands of golden rays, as if shining directly over the fleet of ships.
This series of celestial phenomena was precisely triggered by the changes occurring within Liam himself.
Gu Yuena's expression suddenly froze as she looked toward the deck where Liam was, saying with some surprise:
"What is that?"
Bibi Dong and the others also followed her gaze.
They saw Liam sitting cross-legged on the deck, with something resembling a fireball floating in front of him.
This was the Dragon Essence.
It was a reward Liam had received before, but with his previous Physique, he could only refine and absorb it bit by bit. Now, after the Foundation Establishment upgrade of his body by the First Beginning Pill, he could finally use it boldly.
Bibi Dong recalled and said, "It seems to be called Dragon Essence, an object of extreme Yang. After taking it, not only does one's strength increase greatly, but one can also become immortal and ageless."
Spirit Kite Douluo added:
"Liam said it's the condensed essence of a Dragon's entire body, an object of extreme Yang. After consuming the Dragon Essence, one can achieve eternal youth."
"But because it is an object of extreme Yang, only males can use it. Furthermore! One cannot use too much, or they will turn into a Dragon-Man."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly. No wonder she could sense something, but—how had she never heard of such a thing?
Wait!
Just like the previous shapeshifting pill, it's impossible for this world to have it. So, is this Dragon Essence of Liam's also something that only dragons from another world can produce?
If Liam uses the Dragon Essence, will he turn into a dragon?
If he could turn into a dragon, then it would seem like a perfect match for her.
As if Liam had heard her inner thoughts, he directly swallowed the entire Dragon Essence.
"This?"
Bibi Dong and Spirit Kite Douluo were also shocked.
They had heard Liam say before that this Dragon Essence couldn't be eaten recklessly, or else one would suffer Cultivation Deviation and body explosion, or turn into a Dragon-Man.
Liam actually swallowed it all today?
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, felt a surge of excitement in her heart. What did Bibi Dong and the other one just say? Eating too much makes one a dragon. Is Liam about to become a dragon?
Good, good, good!
Gu Yuena felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
Change quickly!
Turn into a dragon quickly!
Join the glorious evolution!
In an instant.
Liam only felt a terrifying power boiling within his body. His entire being was illuminated by a red light from within, looking from the outside as if he were burning from the inside out.
But it was soon slowly calmed down by Liam, and the power of the Dragon Essence began to be rapidly absorbed by his body.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong and the others felt relieved. They also knew Liam wouldn't do anything reckless. Presumably, it was because of the boost from that pill that Liam directly used the Dragon Essence.
Time slowly passed.
The sea at dusk was quiet and ethereal. The sea breeze brushed past gently, carrying a hint of saltiness and coolness, blowing against their faces and making people feel an endless tenderness.
Boom!
A loud noise suddenly came from the sky. Just as everyone was about to look up, they sensed a terrifying power emanating from Liam's body.
