Chapter 8: Vegetative State and Pig Brother

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

I really don’t want to break through anymore. Can someone save me?

Zhu Wuyang wailed in the depths of his heart. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few months for an ordinary martial artist to break through from the Mid-stage to the Late-stage of the Tendons Refinement realm.

Even for those geniuses, it was impossible without two to three months.

However, Zhu Wuyang had broken through from the Mid-stage to the Late-stage of the Tendons Refinement realm in just ten to twenty minutes.

If Zhu Zhenwu knew about such a rapid increase in strength, Zhu Wuyang would definitely not be able to escape death.

Moreover, it had been less than a month since the original body’s owner broke through to the Mid-stage of Tendons Refinement, and Zhu Wu had already broken through. Wasn’t such a genius speed of improvement clearly courting death?

For the first time in his two lives, Zhu Wuyang felt that death was so close to him. It was so close that he only needed to tell the others about Zhu Wuyang’s breakthrough speed this time, and he might be finished.

“Congratulations to the host for feeling the arrival of death for the first time in your life. You have obtained 600 breakthrough points, considering…”

Zhu Wuyang fell silent and focused on absorbing the strange powers transformed from the breakthrough points, considering how to survive.

Looking at the huge Crown Prince Palace, there were enemies everywhere. Imperial maids, guards, eunuchs… None of them were Zhu Wuyang’s trusted aides, although in name, all the living creatures in the entire Crown Prince Palace belonged to him.

However, everything in the Crown Prince Palace was arranged by someone else. The cowardly original body’s owner had almost no place to interfere.

Actually, although the original owner of the body did not have any background and his mother had died early and he was not very capable… he still had two trusted aides. One was the eunuch, Little Li, and the other was the maidservant, Zhi’er.

However, the eunuch, Little Li, was beaten to death by the Fourteenth Princess, Zhu Jun. This was because Little Li’s greeting was a little slow when he met her. One could imagine how ruthless Zhu Jun was.

The original body’s owner had also vowed to avenge Little Li. Unfortunately, he had never succeeded. Furthermore, at this moment, the Fourteenth Princess, Zhu Jun, was not in a good situation.

According to the news from the palace, the Fourteenth Princess, Zhu Jun, had been attacked by an assassin and her head was injured, so she had already become a vegetable.

It was unknown if she was really in a vegetative state or if she was pretending to be in a vegetative state to avoid being killed by the jealous Zhu Zhenwu.

Later on, Zhu Wuyang would take the time to visit Zhu Jun and satisfy the original body owner’s small wish. It could be considered as Zhu Wuyang’s compensation for occupying his body.

Moreover, Zhu Wuyang, who had inherited the original body’s memories, also hated Zhu Jun.

As for the original body’s other trusted maidservant, Zhi’er, before the Host became the Crown Prince, she was beaten to death by the 38th Prince, Zhu Wensi’s trusted eunuch, Fu Anlin. At the same time, he arranged for two new maidservants to be by Zhu Wuyang’s side. The meaning of surveillance was too obvious.

As for why it wasn’t the 38th Prince himself, who had arranged for people to come over, it was said that the 38th Prince, Zhu Wensi, had suffered from Qi Deviation during his cultivation and had injured his brain. He was silly and spent all day with a group of pigs, almost becoming the laughing stock of the royal family.

The original body’s owner might believe this, but Zhu Wuyang thought of some things that happened in ancient China. In order to avoid being suspected by their father, some Princes also ate and slept with pigs.

A cold smile flashed across Zhu Wuyang’s lips as he thought to himself that there was a high chance that Zhu Wensi was pretending. Fu Anlin was just his spokesperson.

Although this was a little disgusting, at least Zhu Wensi was still alive and had not become one of the nearly 100 Princes and Princesses who had died.

Zhu Wensi and his trusted eunuch were also targets of Zhu Wuyang’s revenge.

If Little Li and Zhi’er were still alive, Zhu Wuyang would at least be several times safer with two useful people by his side.

“Congratulations to the host for missing your dead subordinates for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for hating the enemy for the first time in your life. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for making a decision for the second time in your life. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”

… .

Zhu Wuyang’s strength continued to increase. Under the effect of the pure Qi and blood essence, his tendons became harder and more flexible. They were already comparable to the tendons of many top-notch ferocious beasts.

With a raise of his hand, his strength had already exceeded 5,000 catties. This was a huge force that Earthlings could not imagine. Under normal circumstances, other than machines, Earthlings would never be able to wield such a huge force.

Before Zhu Wuyang was blasted away by the lightning, he would never have thought that when he woke up again, he would actually become extraordinary in a short period of time. At least to him on Earth, this was already a tremendous transformation.

Speaking of which, after he transmigrated, he had yet to see any person, animal, or plant from the other world. He had not even drunk water, eaten anything, or consumed any natural treasures. In the end, his strength had increased to this extent. It was simply like a dream.

If it were any other transmigrator, they would probably be laughing to death at this moment. However, Zhu Wuyang was actually almost scared to death.

There was a low noise in his ears. He didn’t know who was talking, but Zhu Wuyang’s expression changed. He prayed that the first wave of people who came to him weren’t guards and eunuchs. It would be best if they were just weaker palace maids.

The palace maids in the Crown Prince’s Palace were not strong. The strongest was only an Inner Qi Seed martial artist. With Zhu Wuyang’s Azure Dragon Concealment Art, as long as it was not the strongest palace maid, it was very difficult for the other palace maids to discover his true strength.

However, Zhu Wuyang could not place his hopes on luck. After all, even if the first wave of people he encountered was not those little palace maids, what about the second, third, and so on?

Therefore, it was better to raise the level of the Azure Dragon Concealment Art as high as possible. Only then could he better ensure his safety.

Looking at the current available breakthrough points, it had already exceeded 500 points. Zhu Wu added all the breakthrough points to the Azure Dragon Concealment Art and increased it at an extremely fast speed.

As the top secret concealment technique in the pugilistic world, as long as Zhu Wuyang could cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to the Lesser Mastery stage, even a High-level Meridian Forging Realm martial expert would not be able to detect his true strength.

If Zhu Wuyang could cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to the Greater Mastery realm, even ordinary Xiantian Realm martial artists would not be able to detect his true strength.

As the breakthrough points were consumed, a strange power surged and fused into the Azure Dragon Concealment Art, causing Zhu Wuyang’s attainments in the secret technique to soar.

All kinds of experience and techniques regarding the Azure Dragon Concealment Art surged over and fused into Zhu Wuyang’s body. It was as if Zhu Wuyang had painstakingly cultivated the Azure Dragon Concealment Art for years and had comprehended this top-notch secret technique bit by bit…
