'Ding! There is liquid still inside,' the system suddenly said. 'Ding! I can take it in if you want but…'
Arthur understood his meaning but he was interested in something else. 'Is there enough?'
'Ding! For the pills? Sure, at least one third is there in the cauldron.'
'Good,' Arthur nodded, 'Gege, let him access your body.'
'Master!!' she exclaimed in discontent but he simply sat on the ground, closed his eyes and started regulating his breaths. 'Just let him in, there is no point in arguing if you can't take it yourself.'
'…'
While he sat there, the gigantic cauldron vanished the next instant while he started replenishing his spiritual energy slowly.
He wasn't only doing this for his spiritual energy, but also for the dragonair's power as well. From time to time he would open his eyes, take a couple of replenishing pills and eat pieces of meat before returning to training again.
When he first did that, he realized the reason behind the change in the dean's face. "These two… they are really on my side," he smirked while watching two of the academy's teams being challenged by two teams of giants; one of the silver cauldron clan and the other was of the golden raven clan.
This made Arthur not in a hurry to finish his training. In less than ten hours his energy was replenished, but he only kept himself there while enjoying the fight of the other two academy teams against the giants.
"It's really funny how life is so short," he laughed while he opened his eyes to see the two teams being crushed and lost the contest against the giants.
The dean's face was very dark and the only two teams of his academy who just crossed the midline were crushed so easily in front of everyone, making them descend again below the line.
And this put much pressure over him as these teams were now threatened to lose the race in the competition if they were challenged once more by any of the higher clans.
"Let's start," Arthur said in a good mood while standing off the ground. "I'm ready for the second round."
His words were directed to the dean who just sneered and said nothing. He was already burdened by the sudden loss of his two brightest teams just now and he had to think how to make them not cross that midline again.
"Let the lycan team send their representative," the lead master shouted as he also had such a dark face like the dean.
Arthur watched a short one coming towards him. Despite him being the shortest, he seemed huge to Arthur.
"Let's compete fairly and have fun," Arthur said trying to start a talk with the giant lycan who just sneered and looked towards the lead master and said:
"Let's start now."
"Start," the lead master said while glancing at Arthur.
In fact he wasn't the only one glancing at him at the moment, but everyone else here was.
Arthur had already thought of the pill he next would make. "Let this one be much bigger than the last pill I made," he simply muttered before waving his hand and the next thing appeared was the gigantic cauldron with the raging fire still underneath it.
Since getting inside Gege's garden and the fire kept raging there while he instructed Gege secretly to add more things to it.
"I don't accept this," the lead lycan suddenly shouted from far, "this isn't allowed. He should make everything from scratch and not use a ready mix."
The leading master was about to speak before Arthur laughed out loud as he said:
"If you want to waste more time in making the mix I already made before in front of everyone then fine. I just didn't want to waste more time on this round."
The innocent look over his face and his pure words made the lead master unable to say anything for a few moments.
"It's allowed," the dean simply said, "let us finish with this contest fast."
Arthur only smiled while he was inwardly sneering at the dean and others. 'You are really sad about that loss of yours, hahaha,' he inwardly laughed as he didn't think the simple blow the two clans did to the dean and the academy was so painful.
Arthur then turned his attention towards the pill he was thinking of making. "As last time I used heaven and earth to forge, then it's fair to use them now to concoct the pill."
He then started to move his hands making some symbols while muttering:
"Heaven and earth are the furnace and my body is the pill."
He kept muttering these words while a strange aura appeared around him forming a big ball of invisible energy that only grew thicker in time. He kept doing that for an entire hour before he finally opened his eyes and pushed both hands towards the cauldron as he shouted:
"Come!"
The cauldron shook, and then the fluid inside started to move like a long snake towards Arthur.
Two long ropes appeared formed of the fluid inside the cauldron and Arthur simply touched each snake with one hand before rotating them as if he was rolling the ropes over a wooden wheel.
'Be ready,' he muttered, 'I'll need a strong throttle of your energy in the next few minutes.'
'Don't worry,' Gege simply answered while he kept channeling both energies inside his body while injecting each in one hand and then towards the fluid.
The two fluids formed two big masses which started to grow bigger and become transparent with time.
'Now,' he gave the signal when he finally stopped pulling the fluid and the next moment the two long snakes of fluid became released from his hands and twisted in the air.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
When everyone's attention was over the two free snakes, Arthur hit both hands together with the two giant balls of fluid wrapped around them.
And each hit caused a loud bang while many sparkles went off the two gigantic fists and the fluid started to grow clearer and more transparent.
'Keep pushing,' Arthur shouted at Gege, 'We are almost there.'
He was hitting both hands fast and fiercely while Gege kept pushing her energy at the time of both fists touching together.
He kept doing that for five minutes before he felt extremely exhausted. In these five minutes he exhausted his vast energies without reservation.
"Come!" and he shouted again as he suddenly threw the two balls in the air, releasing them from his fists.
And as he called, the two free and about to act berserk snakes moved towards the two fists like two hungry beasts, even pushing each other along the way.
Arthur squeezed his eyes while keeping his fists clenched, waiting for the moment where the two snakes were about to touch the fluid before he hit two punches in the air as he shouted:
"Now… Become!"
The first shout was for his system who just took the cauldron back into Gege's garden. The second was for the two suddenly cut snakes which lost their base all of sudden and were hanged in the air motionless for a moment there.
Then everything happened in a miraculous way when the two huge fluids turned to eat the two snakes, wrapping themselves with the snakes in layers upon layers, forming thick shells gradually.
"Coalesce!"
Arthur clapped both palms against each other and while doing that, the two huge balls up above moved to hit each other at this moment.
He felt strong resistance in between the two palms. "C'mon," he gritted his teeth as he exerted every ounce of strength he had at this moment to crush the last bit of resistance in between his palms, in between the two gigantic balls of energy up above before they both united together and formed one gigantic pill finally.
"The last touch," Arthur cut his hand with a sword before splashing his blood over the gigantic, and about to be formed, pill to have it shook suddenly, then it broke out like an exploded balloon into thousands of smaller pills.
The pills fell above Arthur's head like snowballs, but the next instant all those reaching the ground vanished by the help of his system.
As for Arthur, he couldn't stand up as he fell on his knees, gasping for breath.. He didn't feel comfortable until he laid on his back and then he started to laugh while watching the scene of the sky with the stele and five towers around it in delight.
