Chapter 238: Chapter 238 - Lila Bones
Victor Green had lost track of time. He didn’t know when this body tempering session would finally end.
Evening had already arrived before he knew it.
By this point, I had tempered my body a staggering 531 times! I’d smashed the previous record by over 400 attempts!
"Will this ever stop?" Victor Green stared at me in disbelief.
As the 532nd tempering hit, my bones transformed into a white jade color!
My skin started glowing with a faint golden light!
The glow built up across my body, like a bomb ready to go off!
"Boom!"
Finally, after the 533rd tempering, the light covering my body exploded!
A mind-blowing force erupted, and the terrifying aura launched Victor Green, who’d been sitting on the ground, straight into the air!
My physical body had reached an incredible state!
I slowly opened my eyes, looking around with confusion.
Victor Green scrambled up from the ground and rushed to my side.
He stared at me intently, excitement written all over his face. "Mr. Raymond, do you have any idea how many times you’ve tempered your body?"
I glanced down at myself, taking a quiet guess. "A hundred times?"
Victor Green shook his head frantically. "Way more than a hundred!"
Way more than a hundred?
Could it be close to the highest record?
Or maybe...breaking the highest record?
"150 times?" I asked, testing the waters.
Victor Green couldn’t contain himself anymore. "A full 531 times! It’s absolutely insane!"
"What?!" I was completely stunned!
Over 500 body temperings? How could that be possible?
"Are you...serious?" I asked, my voice deadly serious.
Victor Green nodded rapidly. "Absolutely! Mr. Raymond, you’re a true genius!"
Even I felt a surge of excitement!
I looked at Victor Green. "Victor Green, attack me with everything you’ve got."
"Huh?" Victor Green looked startled.
"I want to see just how strong my body’s become," I said firmly.
Hearing this, Victor Green immediately nodded.
He gathered his Inner Strength and threw a full-power punch straight at me!
"Clang!"
It sounded like steel hitting steel. Victor Green’s hand bones shattered, and his body went flying!
Meanwhile, I stood there completely still, without even a scratch!
I frowned and headed back to my room. A few moments later, I came out carrying a bronze sword.
I tossed the bronze sword in front of Victor Green. "Try this."
Victor Green nodded, picked up the bronze sword, took a deep breath, and swung it at me with all his strength!
"Clang!"
Another sharp sound!
Victor Green’s hands were bleeding badly, and the bronze sword slipped from his grip, clattering to the ground!
As for me, my body remained completely unharmed!
Even I had to gasp at how tough my body had become!
"This is way too crazy..." Victor Green forgot about the pain in his wrist and just stared at me.
A wave of excitement washed over me.
With this kind of body, plus my Grandmaster realm, I was definitely going to win that Divine Medicine!
"Good thing Wallace Wills didn’t care about this," I said with a sneer.
Compared to this, the Nine Transformation Pill was worth way more than any 500-year-old herbs!
——
Time flew by.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Only two days remained until the Divine Medicine would appear.
On this day, the major families from the River North Region started arriving in White City one after another.
White City, already bustling, became even more packed during these days.
Even the local economy got a massive boost, with hotel prices climbing every single day.
At the Schroeder Family estate.
Conrad Schroeder had a tea set laid out in front of him. He personally stood up and poured water for the people sitting across from him.
"Conrad, I heard you got beaten by some guy in his thirties?" the old man in front of him said casually.
This old man was Stanley Sonia, a well-known patriarch of the Stanley family in the River North Region, and his strength was an even more terrifying Third Rank Grandmaster!
Conrad Schroeder replied politely, "That’s right, I lost to Mason Raymond and I accept my defeat completely."
"Oh, did you lose to Mason Raymond or to the family backing Mason Raymond?" another old man nearby said with a slight smile.
This man was Ashley Buchanan, who also held a very high position in the River North Region.
Conrad Schroeder forced a smile. "You’re both joking. I really am no match for Mason Raymond."
"Everyone’s always known that Chuzzle is weak when it comes to martial arts, but we never thought some young punk would dominate such a huge area. It’s ridiculous," Stanley Sonia sneered.
Conrad Schroeder stayed quiet.
Even though the Schroeder family was a top family in Chuzzle, they were nothing compared to the entire River North Region.
"Let’s cut to the chase, Conrad. What’s this about that made you ask us to come here?" Stanley Sonia said seriously.
Conrad Schroeder hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I’m guessing you’re both here for the Divine Medicine too. This time, lots of people want it, and there are some real experts among them."
"So what?" Ashley Buchanan raised an eyebrow.
Conrad Schroeder quickly cupped his hands together. "With so many strong enemies, maybe we should team up."
"Team up?" Hearing this, both Ashley Buchanan and Stanley Sonia burst out laughing.
"Don’t tell me, Conrad, you want to go after this Divine Medicine too?" Ashley Buchanan laughed mockingly.
Stanley Sonia sneered beside him. "You’re just a newly advanced Grandmaster. What makes you think you can compete for this Divine Medicine?"
Facing their mockery, Conrad Schroeder was furious but didn’t dare say anything.
He gritted his teeth. "With my Schroeder family’s abilities, we naturally don’t qualify to work with you two. But after all, we’re old friends...and I’ve helped both of you before..."
Hearing this, Stanley Sonia’s face suddenly went cold.
Ashley Buchanan squinted his eyes. "Conrad, at your age, have you lived so long that you’ve become a dog? Bringing up old favors turns them into grudges. Don’t you get that?"
"Old friends? What’s friendship worth when there are interests involved?"
Conrad Schroeder’s face shifted slightly.
He’d guessed these two might refuse, but he didn’t expect them to be so blunt about it.
But then, Ashley Buchanan changed his tone and said casually, "We can give you a chance."
Conrad Schroeder immediately bowed. "Thank you, Mr. Buchanan!"
"Don’t thank me yet," Ashley Buchanan said coolly.
"We’re not teaming up with you. We’re teaming up with the King of Chuzzle and Mason Raymond."
"Since you lost to Mason Raymond, Mason Raymond’s abilities must be better than yours."
Stanley Sonia nodded slightly. "Exactly. If Mason Raymond really has the skills, we’re definitely willing to work with him."
Conrad Schroeder was thrilled and quickly stood up. "Alright, please wait just a moment, both of you. I’ll call Mr. Raymond right away!"
