Chapter 132: Xiao Yan Took a Special Pill
Ruo Lin stared at the young man before her, her delicate face filled with undisguised shock.
His strength was far beyond her expectations!
That last attack had been her strongest move, yet he had neutralized it effortlessly.
Gradually, the shock on her face faded, replaced by a gentle sigh.
She gazed at the calm and composed youth and said softly:
"I lost."
"Wu Gan, with strength like yours, you're already beyond my authority."
"When you arrive at the academy, someone will arrange everything for you."
"As for your leave request handle it however you like."
There was a hint of helplessness in her tone, but also a trace of delight.
After all, recruiting such a prodigious talent into Jia Nan Academy was a huge honor.
Perhaps, thanks to Wu Gan, her own status in the academy might also rise.
Hearing this, Wu Tian smiled joyfully.
"Thank you, Mentor Ruo Lin!"
Ruo Lin could only shake her head with a wry smile.
"Others can't wait to enter the academy, yet here you are, requesting such a long leave."
"You're really giving me a headache!"
"Mentor Ruo Lin, since that's settled, I'll take my leave."
"I have important matters to attend to, but I'm sure we'll see each other again soon."
Wu Tian gave a polite smile, then turned and walked off into the distance.
Ruo Lin watched his departing figure and couldn't help but chuckle.
She then turned her gaze to Xiao Yu, who had walked up beside her.
Finally, she looked at Xiao Zhan, who had been standing there with an expression that could only be described as constipated awkwardness.
"Clan Leader Xiao, I would like to know everything about this Wu Gan."
Xiao Zhan sighed heavily, feeling utterly powerless.
What could he even say?
The influence and power Wu Gan wielded were far beyond his imagination.
If he spoke the truth, he might offend Wu Gan.
If he lied, he might offend someone even scarier.
"Damn it… this is too difficult!"
Meanwhile, in a Tavern Near the City Gates…
Two figures stood near the window, quietly watching the events at the city gate unfold.
One of them, clad in black, turned and whispered:
"Miss, we should head back."
The young girl in the elegant dress nodded softly, her gaze still lingering outside.
"Mmm… I wonder when I'll see Brother Tian again."
The black clad figure chuckled lightly.
"Miss, I might just be imagining things… but I have a feeling we'll be seeing Wu Tian again very soon."
The girl's bright eyes sparkled playfully as she turned to him.
"Oh? Uncle Ling Ying, when did you start having such 'premonitions'?"
The man named Ling Ying looked slightly embarrassed.
"Miss, he is the Guardian Elder of the Snake Tribe."
"He must hold some great secret."
"Perhaps his goal is the same as ours."
"And don't forget the Ice Emperor is still in this city."
"Do you really think Wu Tian will leave so easily?"
"Most importantly… he hasn't even properly said goodbye to the person he fancies. How could he leave just like that?"
The girl giggled mischievously.
"Uncle Ling Ying, you're teasing me now?"
"Hmph, I'll tell my father about this, hehe~"
Ling Ying: "Why is it always me suffering? Wu Tian, hurry back I haven't had my fun yet!"
A New City, A Special Pill
A deep night sky, a bright full moon, and silent, empty streets.
Under the moonlight, a young boy in black robes was hopping with joy along the path.
This boy was none other than Xiao Yan, who had just left Wu Tan City.
Taking a flying magical beast, he had arrived in the nearest major city.
Although this city was smaller than Wu Tan, it was just as bustling.
The first thing he did upon arriving?
Buying medicine.
This time, however, he wasn't preparing Foundation Establishment Liquid.
Instead, Yao Lao had given him the formula for a more potent Foundation Establishment Pill.
The difference?
The liquid helped temper the body over time.
The pill provided an immediate power boost.
The liquid worked gradually.
The pill?
It was like a direct injection of power.
Whether it had side effects or not…
Only Yao Lao knew.
But when asked, he simply said
"No side effects, of course!"
A Two Hour Refinement… And Instant Power Up!
Upon arriving at his temporary lodging, Xiao Yan immediately began refining the pill under Yao Lao's guidance.
After two hours, the pill was ready.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yan swallowed it whole.
What happened next?
In just one hour…
His Dou Qi skyrocketed from three to nine stages!
"Damn!"
"This pill is insane!"
But Then… Something Was Off.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's entire body felt like it was on fire.
His breathing grew erratic.
A strange heat spread through him, causing his mind to spin.
Inside the soul ring, Yao Lao let out a sinister chuckle.
"Kekeke~"
"Little Yan, while this pill did boost your power…"
"I forgot to mention… there is a small side effect."
"WHAT?!"
Xiao Yan's face darkened.
"What side effect?!"
Yao Lao snickered.
"Oh, nothing major."
"For the next five days… you'll remain in a state of constant excitement."
"You'll feel an overwhelming urge toward anyone you see."
"Yes, even men."
"WHAT?!"
Xiao Yan's screech echoed through the room.
"YOU OLD BASTARD! YOU SET ME UP!"
Yao Lao simply laughed evilly.
"Kekeke~ How could you say that?"
"This pill boosted your power by six full stages."
"The side effect only lasts five days."
"It's a PERFECT pill who wouldn't want it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan almost fainted.
But then, another realization struck him
"Wait… I'M IN AN INN!"
In an inn filled with maids.
With maids who delivered food.
With maids who might walk in at any moment.
"Crap."
"I need to get out of here!"
Without hesitation, Xiao Yan dove into a tub of cold water.
Then, in the dead of night, he jumped out the window and ran.
The Escape Into The Wilderness
For the next two days, Xiao Yan wandered the forests outside the city.
The effects of the pill remained strong, but luckily,
He hadn't encountered any humans.
In fact, the only creature he ran into…
Was a wild boar.
A very excited wild boar.
Unfortunately for the boar,
Xiao Yan was stronger.
The result?
A tragic death
Four legs up in the air.
Completely defeated.
