Ridiculous Change

The process of reforging Meng's bones, skin, muscles lasted for about 1 hour but to Meng who was somehow able to stay conscious the entire time, it felt like a whole month of constant pain.

Meng wiped the drool coming out of his almost paralyzed mouth, he quickly approached the river and put his head under the water to get rid of all the sweat and also to cool down.

'...That was too much even for me. I hope I won't have to experience something similar if I will be able to get the other Physique.'

[Congratulations to the host for attaining his very first Physique that will help him in his journey through this world]

[+ 200 Skill points for staying conscious through the entire process without any external help]

'Without external help? Does it mean that the pain could have been softened?!' Meng felt slightly angry but he was too tired to argue with Vista.

"Um, are you Su Meng?" Meng suddenly heard someone's voice which caused him to slowly turn his head to the side to look at the person from the corner of his eye.

'Vista, unmute me already.'

[As the host wishes]

"...Yeah, what is it?" Meng replied however his voice was quite hoarse and rough. Since he was tired right now, his appearance and face didn't look exactly welcoming and friendly.

"?! Uh, I have been tasked by Clan Master Xia Hongyi to relay a message to you, here. I will take my leave now..." The guy said while watching him cautiously before he handed him a scroll.

"Thanks, unfortunately, I can't see you off." Meng nodded his head with a tired expression before he apologized, although his face looked more hostile and unfriendly than tired.

When the guy left Meng tried to get up from the ground. His both legs were shaking a little bit as he was still recovering from the pain. Fortunately, it didn't cause him any trauma.

'Let's see what does Xia Hongyi want from me'

The message asked him if he can't arrive in 7 days and that he doesn't need to gather any more herbs.

'What is he planning? I knew from their expressions that the old owner used to behave differently but...Well whatever, I have 7 days to recover and test my new strength. Although I can't feel anything right now because I am simply too exhausted, I feel that tomorrow will be extremely different. All of that pain wasn't definitely for nothing.' Meng thought before he went into his house to sleep for full recovery so he can practice tomorrow and adapt to his new strength.

However when he laid down on his bed...

*break*

The entire bed broke down with Meng staring blankly at the ceiling, hoping that he is already asleep and this is only a dream.

'Fuck, can't even sleep inside the house if I can't control my weight properly.' Meng sighed before he went outside to sleep in a sitting position while leaning against the tree.

----Xia Clan's Manor----

"Is that everything? Nothing else happened after that?" Xia Hongyi asked the guy that handed the message to Meng.

"Yes, when I arrived he was lying on the ground, occasionally moving so I kept my distance just in case since I couldn't feel anything wrong within his body. After a few minutes, he crawled to the river and put his head under the water and that's when I decided to reveal myself and give him the message. Although, I was slightly surprised that he showed such a weak reaction to my sudden appearance, almost as if he knew about me the whole time." The guy reported before he bowed and left.

'Was he trying to kill himself? No...All of this is too strange, I am glad that I sent that message. It's too bad I don't have two daughters, he needs someone to cheer him up, haha' Xia Hongyi thought with a slightly sad smile.

------

The next morning when Meng woke up, he felt a bit weird so he tried to look around what could be the cause before he finally noticed the tree he was leaning against the entire night has fallen down.

'Shit, that tree was quite huge...I really need to learn how to control my weight but this makes me also quite excited.'

Meng got up and tried to stretch his entire body that felt really sore.

'I can really feel that I am much slower than before.'

[I would recommend the host to bathe in the blood of the profound beasts to strengthen the Physique even further]

Hearing the suggestion, Meng dig up a large enough hole and filled it with the blood of the profound beasts that remained in his inventory after the delivery to the Xia Clan.

'This looks pretty disgusting, do I have to?' Meng thought while looking at the pool of blood.

[The host doesn't have to but it is highly recommended. I would also suggest deciding quickly since the life essence is leaking out of the blood each second.]

'Shit! Here goes nothing.' Meng held his breath and jumped into the hole filled with blood completely naked and once he sank to the bottom, he sat down in a cross-legged position.

Meng tried increasing his weight and also decreasing at will while his body was absorbing the life essence from the blood. The energy went right into his body where his Physique started using that energy to strengthen his organs that were still ordinary, however, this time, he didn't feel any pain, instead, he felt as if warm silk was encompassing his heart, kidneys, lungs, etc.

After a whole hour, he jumped out of the hole that turned from filled with crimson red blood into a hole filled with black blood. He filled a few bottles with it and stored it inside his inventory.

'How do I get rid of it? It's too much attention-catching'

[The host can simply wish to store it and I can destroy it afterward, obviously, I can't do this with everything.]

Meng stored the blood in his inventory and hoped that nothing get soaked in it since he had no idea how it works yet but since Vista told him that he can do it, he would do it.

"Now...Time for retribution!" Meng struck his right fist into his left palm while looking at the entrance of the forest with a crazy and slightly sadistic smile.

*SPLASH*

"Haha! How does it feel to fight someone much stronger?" Meng shouted with a wide smile while punching another Elementary profound beast, when his fist connected with its head, its entire body vaporized from the punch of the strength of thousands of kilograms.

He was just trying to create a ruckus to draw the attention of more beasts, he also didn't forget to pick up the herbs on his way deeper into the forest. Also, since he still couldn't cultivate, the beasts' intelligence was too low and they kept attacking him.

Suddenly he felt an attack from behind while he was collecting some remains of the beasts.

"Hehe, so we meet once again." Meng didn't bother to even turn around and just released a sinister smile.

When the claws attacking his back connected, the claws of the beast that previously made him flee shattered as some kind of fragile glass.

The beast immediately howled in pain however Meng quickly delivered the kick into its head which caused it to separate from the rest of the body, flying deep inside the forest.

[Skill points: 412]

'Calm down, you have already vented your frustration on them, no need to become too emotional. Still, my fighting prowess is definitely above Nascent Profound Realm. I can't really compare it since I have yet to fight any human but the way I am slaughtering those beasts without even evading their attacks, I can confidently say that I can fight someone even stronger than Nascent Profound Realm. The only problem in my case is my speed, I need to increase it as soon as possible.' Meng calmed himself down before he looked at his right fist covered in blood with a calm gaze.

'Let's make good use of this week before I have to go back to Floating Cloud City. I will earn as many points as I can to upgrade my speed.'
