The bright moon hung high above the courtyard and the lotus pond rippled slightly.
An Lin sat in a pavilion and he looked nervously toward the three Beast Cores sitting on the table in front of him.
Next to him, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, and Xiao Chou were all looking at him anxiously.
Xuanyuan Cheng urged earnestly, “Student An Lin, if there’s anything troubling you, you can talk to your class captain. Why do you have to take things so hard and do such absurd things?”
Su Qianyun’s beautiful face was also filled with shock. “Student An Lin, not everything’s edible! Those are Beast Cores! If you eat them, you might explode!”
The Golden-Eyed Monkey King scratched his head and said, “Six years ago, Great Rhino King, the glutton of our beast world, accidentally ingested a Beast Core when feasting on a Savage Dragon Alligator.
“Then, there was a bang.
“The grass on his grave is already ten feet tall now.”
An Lin: “…”
He had initially called them here to protect him. How come he was becoming more and more nervous now?
Xu Xiaolan had her hands on her hips and there was a gloomy look on her pretty face.
On her head, there was a little red flower.
Xiao Hong was choking as she sobbed. If her master died, she wouldn’t be able to survive either. What could she do though? Her master frequently liked to have a brush with death.
An Lin was always like this. He would often do some weird and terrifying things and not explain the reasons to others.
“Fine, do what you want. I’ll watch and see if you die this time around,” Xu Xiaolan said bitterly.
She was furious at his absurd tendencies.
An Lin smiled wryly. Looking at the Beast Cores on the table, his expression gradually became firm and resolute.
In order to rank up to the Spirit Nurturing Stage, the mission given to him by the system was this:
Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage—Condition: Consume three Beast Cores.
By consume, the system naturally meant to swallow raw.
If he chewed on them slowly, there really was a chance that the power contained within the Beast Cores would explode and kill him.
Thinking of this, he picked up a white Beast Core.
This was the Beast Core that he fished out of the gigantic white bear which he had killed. It looked fairly appealing and it also radiated bursts of chilly air.
Good looks and chilly air didn’t really seem to bear any connections with explosions… – You’re reading on NovelFull .Tks!
Due to this reason, the gigantic white bear’s Beast Core became An Lin’s first choice!
He pinched the Beast Core between his thumb and forefinger, and a cool and refreshing feel rushed through his fingers.
Staring at this Beast Core which looked like a large grape, An Lin gulped.
A feeling of uncertainty involuntarily crept into his mind. Will I choke if I swallow it like this?
The three humans, one flower, and one beast were also extremely nervous as they looked at An Lin, and they also gulped.
An Lin tossed the Beast Core into his mouth. However, he didn’t have the courage to swallow it. Thus, he felt like he was holding a bomb in his mouth…
A chilly sensation started to spread throughout his mouth, and he was gripped by conflict.
So what if I die! It’s just a matter of having my eyes open or closed!
An Lin pushed aside his thoughts and swallowed the Beast Core whole.
Rumble…
A chill to the bone caused him to start trembling.
This feeling was…
Amazing!
Seeing An Lin’s look of extreme pleasure, everyone’s eyes bulged.
“Are Beast Cores really that delicious?” Su Qianyun spoke in a mellow voice, a look of curiosity on her face.
“Master, are you feeling okay? Your stomach’s not heating up or expanding, is it?” Xiao Hong asked tenderly.
Only now did An Lin come to his senses. He rubbed his belly and said, “It didn’t really taste like anything. Also, my body feels a bit numb from the chill. I think that’s about all I felt…”
Seeing that nothing serious happened after ingesting the Beast Core, he picked up the second Beast Core.
This Beast Core was a dazzling gold color and was the one that Su Qianyun had retrieved from the Fiery Crimson Demon Tiger.
Pinching this Beast Core between his fingers, threads of warmth lingered over his fingertips. Quite clearly, this Beast Core was more of a fiery type.
He didn’t ponder much this time, directly chucking this Beast Core into his mouth and swallowing it.
A burst of warmth suddenly spread through his body, causing his entire body to soften up and relax.
“Ah…”
It was way too comfortable. An Lin couldn’t help but moan.
Seeing An Lin’s look of extreme pleasure, everyone’s eyes bulged.
“Could it be that Beast Cores really are delicious?” Su Qianyun once again asked this question in her soft and mellow voice. There was a glimmer in her bright blue eyes.
“Master, master, are you feeling okay? Does it feel like your stomach’s expanding?” Xiao Hong had an anxious expression etched upon her face.
Just when An Lin was about to say no, the two Beast Cores in his stomach suddenly collided together.
The chilly cold and flaming warmth collided and mixed together, sending bursts of warmth and cold through him, causing him to feel torn between the two extremes.
An Lin’s eyes bulged. Plumes of white smoke drifted out from his nose.
Whoosh!
The three humans and one beast were all cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. In a flash, they had leaped back more than a dozen meters.
“Burp…”
An Lin burped loudly, a look of satisfaction on his face.
“Big Brother An, are you okay? How are you feeling?” With his lightbulb-like eyes wide open, there was a look of concern on Xiao Chou’s face.
An Lin glanced toward them.
“I’m fine…” he answered gloomily. “It’s just that the reactions of you guys have deeply wounded me.”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
Xuanyuan Cheng: “…”
…
An Lin picked up the last Beast Core. This was the Three-Headed Flying Python’s Beast Core and was given to him by Xuanyuan Cheng.
This Beast Core was a jade-green color and it looked like it was toxic, so he left it for last.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared an antidote for you,” Xu Xiaolan said considerately.
An Lin glanced thankfully at Xu Xiaolan. Then, he stuck his tongue out and licked the Beast Core.
“What does it taste like?” Su Qianyun asked curiously.
An Lin grimaced. It appeared as if Su Qianyun was very determined to find out whether Beast Cores tasted good or not.
To avoid having her go down this crooked path, he answered solemnly, “There’s no taste. Even if there was a taste, it would be a repulsive one!”
Su Qianyun didn’t buy it. “But just then… you clearly looked very satisfied.”
An Lin: “…”
What could he say? Was he going to tell Su Qianyun that having bursts of heat and cold surge through him felt amazing?
He clearly couldn’t say that!
An Lin sighed. He stopped speaking and popped the Three-Headed Flying Python’s Beast Core into his mouth.
Now… was the time to witness a miracle!
When this Beast Core entered his body, he got no particular feeling. However, he was extremely nervous.
Was he really going to form a spirit root and break through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage?
He had a peculiar feeling. It felt as though the three Beast Cores had gathered in his abdomen and were clashing together.
“Student An Lin, what’s going on?”
Seeing that An Lin didn’t show much reaction after swallowing the Beast Core, Xuanyuan Cheng couldn’t help but question him.
Xu Xiaolan didn’t know why An Lin wanted to ingest three Beast Cores. Now that he had swallowed them all, she looked at him curiously, eager to find out what was going to happen next.
“Ding Dong! Mission completed. Starting to break through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage.”
The system’s voice suddenly sounded in An Lin’s mind, causing a smile to spread across his face.
Tugged along by some mystical power, the three Beast Cores in his lower abdomen started to slowly fuse together.
The jade temple in his dantian also started to throb. After fusing together, the three Beast Cores started to melt into a liquid and slowly seep into his jade temple.
In the sky, vital energy suddenly started swarming about violently.
A gigantic swirl of vital energy formed in the sky, enveloping an area hundreds of feet in radius.
As if leaking through some cracks, vital energy started seeping out of the gigantic swirl and flowing toward the courtyard that they were in.
“Heavens! A student is breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage?!” Xuanyuan Cheng cried in astonishment.
Then, everyone shifted their gaze toward An Lin in unison. A cloud of white smoke was currently drifting from his body.
“I-It can’t be, right?” Xu Xiaolan stammered.
She stared at the scene before her with an expression of disbelief.
