141: Chapter 138 Second Awakening [Bonus Chapter for 12,000 Monthly Tickets]

Before the official start of the tournament, Fang Yu had never thought of using another Heaven And Earth Treasure. On one hand, he was still using the heavenly fire spirit spring at the time; on the other hand, Fang Yu's skills had not yet crossed into Outer Scenery back then, so even if his life level rose to 39.9 after a Second Awakening, it would still be difficult to reach the fifth round.

Even so.

Right up until before the start of the third round, Fang Yu had not planned to be this hasty.

But today, Yu Guizhou successfully charged into the fourth round, which gave Fang Yu quite a bit of emotional impact.

"Senior Yu Guizhou is willing to take out three million to gamble. Regardless of success or failure, at least he won't regret it," Fang Yu thought to himself. "What can I lose by gambling fifty million? What I'm spending is Xinghe Group's two hundred million Star Coin treasure quota, not cash."

You must know.

When he officially signed with Xinghe Group, Fang Yu had received three hundred million Star Coins in cash, as well as a full two hundred million Star Coins in treasure quota. It could be said that he wasn't short of money right now.

Therefore, after thinking everything through.

In the morning, after his consciousness left the Tianlan Realm, Fang Yu quickly placed an order. After communicating with Meng Shi, the treasure he ultimately selected was the rongxin warm jade essence. In terms of efficacy, it was far inferior to the heavenly fire spirit spring.

The heavenly fire spirit spring, worth one hundred million Star Coins, had allowed Fang Yu's life level to increase by an extra two and a half Ranks in less than a month, and its efficacy could be described as astonishing. As for the rongxin warm jade essence, its greatest efficacy was "nourishing the body and extending life", which was a treasure favored by many elderly wealthy people.

Because its efficacy was incomparably gentle, even in a situation like Fang Yu's, who had just used a Heaven And Earth Treasure not long ago, there was still complete hope that he could withstand the potency of the rongxin warm jade essence.

At the same time, its medicinal effects would take effect extremely quickly.

"The potency of the rongxin warm jade essence is naturally gentle," Fang Yu thought to himself. "Coupled with my Divine Ability, "Devour", the probability of causing damage to my body is extremely small."

This would be enough to rapidly elevate Fang Yu's life level by another notch, and he completely had hope of reaching the requirements for a Second Awakening.

Once he won the gamble.

Successfully fighting his way into the fifth round, as a senior student, Fang Yu's Alliance bonus alone would skyrocket from twenty million to two hundred million Star Coins. "Success or failure."

"It all comes down to this." Fang Yu took a deep breath, picked up the metal box, and walked into the adjacent Star Power Room. Then he turned on the lights, checked everything around him thoroughly, and set an alarm.

"Click." Fang Yu opened the metal box, and instantly, a warm aura rushed toward his face.

The inside of the box was lined with constant-temperature Materials, and in the center was a palm-sized piece of strange jade, amber-colored and translucent throughout. Inside the jade, there were faintly quite a few crystal-clear crimson liquids flowing, resembling sealed magma.

The rongxin warm jade essence, a Tier 4 treasure, was worth fifty million Star Coins.

Fang Yu carefully read the manual three times to confirm all precautions.

Then, he stripped off all his clothes until only his underwear was left, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"According to the manual, the rongxin warm jade essence is not taken orally, but rather, the marrow liquid stored in the jade is dripped onto the chest and spread evenly?" Fang Yu thought to himself.

He cautiously took out the jade.

There was a scratch on the edge of the jade. With a gentle exertion of force from Fang Yu, a gap appeared in the jade.

"Drip." Accompanied by Fang Yu's tilting, the crimson liquid inside the jade immediately dripped onto his chest. The jade looked to be about the size of a palm, but the amount of jade marrow liquid was not much.

He didn't even need to use his hands to spread it evenly.

In just a few seconds.

Fang Yu already felt the change. He saw the jade marrow liquid rapidly penetrate the surface skin, seep into his chest cavity, and then transform into strands of strange energy flowing toward all his limbs and bones.

It wasn't the violent impact of the star pith spiritual liquid, nor was it the burning sensation of the heavenly fire spirit spring.

It was a kind of warmth.

Like soaking in a hot spring, every muscle, every bone, and every cell was gently enveloped.

An unprecedented sense of comfort rushed into Fang Yu's heart.

"It feels so comfortable." Fang Yu gently closed his eyes.

His internal Wisdom Eye was born, sensing his entire body. He could feel the strange energy transformed from the jade marrow liquid seeping into every muscle bundle and every bone, drilling into the gaps of the membranes, and then melting into the depths of each and every cell in his body.

His Divine Ability, "Devour", had also quietly activated.

In the past, in Fang Yu's perception, whenever this Divine Ability activated, it always carried a predatory overbearingness, greedily absorbing every bit of medicinal power, extracting all the essence, and then merging it into the cells of his limbs and bones.

But this time, perhaps due to the characteristics of the rongxin warm jade essence, coupled with its compatibility with the Red-Scaled Snake Star Phase, even the Divine Ability, "Devour", faintly became gentle.

The strange energy contained within the jade marrow liquid, like a drizzle seeping into parched earth, had not the slightest conflict and caused no pain whatsoever.

"My cells are undergoing a metamorphosis." Fang Yu felt the rapid changes in his body.

This change was even more rapid than the body enhancement brought by the heavenly fire spirit spring, but it was gentler and safer.

Blood, muscle fibers, bone marrow, tendons and bone membranes... countless cells inside Fang Yu's body were undergoing astonishing changes.

Time passed minute by minute.

"Rank 37.4!"

"Rank 37.5." Besides feeling the metamorphosis of his limbs and bones, Fang Yu kept his attention focused on that mysterious realm.

The body's metamorphosis continued until ten o'clock at night.

"It's already Rank 37.8," Fang Yu thought to himself. "Most of the effects of the rongxin warm jade essence have already been exerted. Could it really be that my life level will reach Rank 38 or even higher?"

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Fang Yu's heart stirred. "Have I finally reached the standard?"

At this moment!

In that mysterious realm sensed by his consciousness, the massive Star Phase that had been slumbering all this time suddenly opened its eyes. Its entire body bloomed with endless dazzling purple light, and a message was transmitted over.

Phase Observer

Life Level: Rank 37.8 (Senior Martial Artist)

Martial Arts Skill: Inner Scenery Sixth Layer (Outer Scenery "Qi Perception")

Soul Rank: Rank 39.9

Void Star Constellation: Unknown (Reached the critical point, Second-stage Awakening)

Unlike his first Awakening, Fang Yu was mentally prepared this time. Accompanied by the roaring of the Awakening Star Phase toward the sky and the shroud of endless purple light, this mysterious realm was trembling.

"Roar~"

The roar of the Star Phase still contained ancient cloud patterns, but it didn't seem as impatient as last time, allowing Fang Yu to faintly sense a trace of "joy" contained within it.

"The Star Phase is rejoicing?" Fang Yu's consciousness was somewhat dazed.

But at this moment.

Under the influence of that roar, his consciousness had once again faintly merged with the Star Phase into one.

"Whoosh!"

Just like during the first Awakening, the massive Star Phase stood up once more. Resembling a human, its hooves knelt toward the front, executing one special movement after another. It looked similar to last time.

But this time, the movements it executed were even more complex.

It was as if the ceremony was even more grandiose.

Fang Yu's consciousness and the Star Phase faintly united as one. Accompanied by the completion of the Star Phase's complex ceremony, this time, he once again stepped into that unfamiliar yet familiar boundless starry sky.

Crossing one massive star after another, each star was coiled with a colossal existence possessing vast auras.

This time, perhaps due to the Second Awakening, or perhaps because Fang Yu's Mental Energy was stronger, along the way he "saw" more clearly. Among the numerous stars he observed, some colossal existences seemed as though they were still alive, giving him very strong mental fluctuations... Some colossal existences seemed completely dead, and the entire star was completely dead...

These colossal existences had various shapes—weapons, humanoid forms, beast forms, plant appearances...

Venturing deep all the way.

This time.

Fang Yu's consciousness arrived before an extremely massive star. The entire star was coiled around by an unimaginably colossal flame serpent, giving one an endless sense of scorching heat.

"The Sun-Swallowing Python?" Fang Yu held his breath.

But this time.

This massive flame serpent no longer had the arrogance of last time. Its giant snake head actually curled back to the surface of the star, and a trace of fear faintly flickered within its pair of serpentine pupils.

Without waiting for Fang Yu to think too much.

"Roar~"

"Fang Yu" opened its mouth.

This giant mouth rapidly grew larger, as if it wanted to Devour the entire heaven and earth, and it actually completely swallowed a huge flame star along with the "Sun-Swallowing Python" coiled atop the star...

Fang Yu's consciousness also dissipated with a roar.

Fang Yu's consciousness instantly returned.

In that mysterious realm he perceived.

That massive Star Phase had once again fallen into slumber, but in front of the Star Phase, the illusory and agile figure of the Red-Scaled Snake was now letting out a silent hiss. Its body began to swell, twist, and transform.

The scales covering its entire body became brighter and denser, gradually turning from fiery red to a deeper red-gold. Its body lengthened and thickened, its head held high, and its pair of vertical pupils burned with light resembling a star, carrying a sense of arrogance! Coldness!

It was no longer a Red-Scaled Snake.

It was the Sun-Swallowing Python.

Upper Astral Constellation.

At the very moment the Star Phase completely transformed, "Boom." Fang Yu's spirit seemed to roar and explode, and his perception of the outside world and the countless cells of his body were undergoing rapid changes.

"My Mental Energy broke through?" Fang Yu had a sudden realization in his heart.

But this change was only the beginning.

Boom~

A power far more majestic and violent than the jade marrow liquid exploded from the deepest part of Fang Yu's body.

His body temperature was skyrocketing, and his skin became scorching hot within seconds. Fang Yu could clearly perceive that strands of fiery red bright spots were beginning to emerge on his limbs, back, and chest.

The brighter and more numerous they became.

Until Fang Yu's entire body was lit up, and his whole person seemed as if he were bathing in flames.

star acupoint!

The original 46 star acupoints were expanding and reinforcing.

Even more star acupoints were born within his body.

This rapid metamorphosis of his body made Fang Yu's consciousness faintly blurry. He only felt as if countless steel needles were piercing into his body simultaneously, and every single star acupoint was frantically devouring the Star Power in the Star Power Room.

In an instant, the concentration of Star Power in the Star Power Room plummeted rapidly.

At the same time.

Fang Yu's physical fitness was also skyrocketing wildly!

The Second Awakening, the Star Phase transition, and the opening of star acupoints would all drive a rapid metamorphosis of the body... His life level rapidly rose from Rank 37.8 to Rank 38... then to Rank 38.5... Rank 38.8... Rank 39...

Continuously and rapidly elevating!

As if there was no end in sight.

Inside a fairly large estate at Xinyue Martial Arts University.

"Alarm."

"Alarm."

In the martial arts room, Wang Heng, who was quietly cultivating, felt the watch on his wrist suddenly vibrate, its dial flashing with red light. Wang Heng instantly opened his eyes and glanced at the dial.

Swish!

Like a gust of wind, he had already flown out of the room instantly.

Not long after.

The residential building where Fang Yu was located.

Silently, Wang Heng had already arrived at the floor where Fang Yu and Yan Tianheng lived. With his authority, all the alarm Systems of the building did not respond.

And Yan Tianheng, Yu Guizhou, and the others were even less likely to perceive Wang Heng's approach.

Whoosh!

Wang Heng arrived outside Fang Yu's room.

Even though they were separated by several walls.

"Second Awakening? Such strong mental fluctuations." Wang Heng murmured to himself. His eyes gleamed with light, and his unprecedentedly powerful perception allowed him to easily sense everything inside Fang Yu's room.

"Without becoming an Earth Martial Artist yet, did his Mental Energy break through first?"
