Chapter Eighty-six: Baptism

  That blood pool was very large, enough to hold twenty or so people, with the blood water constantly boiling, suspended with some crystal clear solids, a strong spiritual energy floated out from it.

  "Boss, this Blood Pool is a great tonic! It contains many precious medicinal herbs, the blood of spiritual beasts, and over ten Spiritual Beast Crystal Cores! Our Zhou family also spent a huge amount of money to get it." Zhou Chen said from the side, he had now reached the 7th layer of the Wilderness Realm! He was about the same height as Wang Shi, but his personality was still somewhat more immature compared to Wang Shi.

  "Spirit beast blood? Crystal core?" Wang Shi was extremely shocked, spirit beast? That's a beast that can rival the strength of a Condensed Pearl! Wang Shi had never seen a spirit beast before, this kind of spirit beast had a certain level of intelligence and was no longer just relying on brute force, it could also condense spiritual energy!

  The Ling Beast's entire body is a treasure, and its blood contains powerful spiritual energy that can temper the body, transform spiritual power, and help break through boundaries!

  And when it comes to the Ling Beast, a crystal nucleus can be condensed in its body. This crystal nucleus is the essence of the Ling Beast! The stronger the Ling Beast, the more magnificent the spiritual power contained within the crystal nucleus.

  "What kind of baptism is this blood pool?" Wang Shi asked.

  "Haha, boss, it's up to your own speed of absorbing spiritual energy now. If you're slow, someone will absorb it all!"

  "Heh heh, boss, we won't let you off easy." Zhou Hong's little fatty pouted, looking somewhat mischievous.

  "Alright, let's see who's more powerful!" Zhou Kai clenched his fists, with a determined look on his face.

  Zhou Xuan wore a tight-fitting yellow dress, slightly curvy in the front and back, her figure gradually becoming more rounded. Upon hearing this, she looked down on them and said: "You think you can shake the position of the boss with just your few half-baked skills?"

  Wang Shi shook his head and laughed loudly: "Wait and see who's more powerful later."

  Ling Yu Xi couldn't help but interrupt from the side.

  The other two young men stood aside, not daring to say anything, their behavior was very restrained. They were also the young masters of their own families, with the best talents, and everyone had to show them respect. However, when they came to the Zhou family, they could only lower their heads. The privilege of being a big family is incomparable.

  "Heh heh, you're Chen Jingkang, right? And what's your surname again...?" Zhou Hong said with an air of a big family clan to these two somewhat naive young men.

  "Gu Ye." A young man named Gu Ye scratched his head, saying somewhat awkwardly. Gu Ye was seventeen years old, but being called out so loudly by a thirteen-year-old kid made him feel somewhat unaccustomed to it, however this was the Zhou family's home, and he didn't dare act rashly.

  "Oh, Gu Yan, you two will compete for the essence later, take care of yourselves, understand?" Zhou Hong said in a deep voice.

  "Huh?" Gu Xian's face was filled with confusion, an inexperienced young man who clearly didn't understand.

  Chen Jingkang hastily said: "Young Master Zhou, we understand." Then he whispered a few words to Gu Yi, and only then did Gu Yi suddenly realize.

  "Yes, Young Master Zhou." Gu Yi said.

  "Hmm." Zhou Hong nodded in satisfaction.

  Wang Shi was speechless, saying: "Is this okay?" The meaning of this little fatty is clearly that the fat water does not flow into other people's fields. In this way, the effect of this baptism on these two young men is limited! Looking at these two young men, they are only in the seventh layer of the Wilderness Boundary, and after this baptism, they can reach the eighth layer at most.

  "Haha, this is the way it's always been in our Zhou family. Otherwise, wouldn't our little family be rebelling?" Zhou Qian nodded with a matter-of-fact expression.

  Wang Shi knew this was a restriction of big families on small families, and the Zhou family also had a default attitude towards this method.

  …………

  Not long after, Zhou Xuanming dressed up and appeared on the scene with a smile, saying: "This time is the grand ceremony of the Zhou family's baptism. Everyone has come to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family welcomes you too. No need to say much, ten little guys, enter the baptismal pool, wishing everyone good luck!"

  Zhou Xuanming swept his gaze over the ten young men, pausing for a moment on Wang Shi's body with some expectation.

  Plop

  Ten youths all fell into the blood pool, baptism begins!

  As soon as Wang Shi entered the blood pool, a warm feeling enveloped him instantly. His naked eye could clearly see the thick essence in the blood pool, like condensed cream, flowing into Wang Shi's body one after another.

  "What a thick essence!" Wang Shi was somewhat surprised, he had never seen such a thick essence before. It could condense into **, materialize!

  "It's indeed the blood of a spiritual beast." Wang Shi sighed.

  He saw that several young men began to meditate, all eagerly absorbing the essence of the blood pool, and the aura around them gradually condensed, pouring into their bodies continuously!

  And those two young men with somewhat tragic fates in a corner were absorbing relatively less spiritual energy.

  "Let's get started too!" Wang Shi said to Ling Yu Xi beside him.

  "Uh-huh." Ling Yu Xi nodded lightly, then began to meditate, closing her eyes tightly, and started to accept the baptism.

  Wang Shi also closed his eyes and began to actively absorb the essence of Qi, then converted it into spiritual power.

  ……..

  Gushing sound

  Gradually, the vital energy gathered rapidly around Wang Shi. This vital energy floated in the upper half of Wang Shi's body, continuously accumulating, with some layers of light red clouds.

  "Why is this king stone absorbing the essence so quickly? In the blink of an eye, it has already brewed a red cloud?" Below, there was a murmur, and everyone was shocked, some were puzzled. Generally speaking, the baptism requires first tempering the body, and then the flesh and essence have a most harmonious value, only then will they gather into a red cloud, which is also the most important step in baptism, and can directly make a breakthrough in the realm.

  "Could it be that this kid's physical body has already reached the optimal standard for baptism?!"

  "This kid's physical strength is so strong?! He's really not simple!" The family heads sighed in admiration.

  Zhou Xuanming was also staring at Wang Shi, watching as Wang Shi didn't play his cards according to common sense, and shook his head in some dismay.

  "This kid......"

  ……

  At this moment, Wang Shi was one step ahead of them. The vital energy continuously gathered above Wang Shi's head, growing larger and larger. It gradually turned into a cover that enveloped Wang Shi's body!

  Rumbling sound

  Wang Shi's body was also constantly oppressed, and some of the essence directly penetrated into Wang Shi's body. Wang Shi continuously refined it, transforming it into strands of spiritual energy.

  A little accumulation makes a lot, the vital energy around him is suffocating, Wang Shi's eyebrows are tightly locked. The pressure on his head is getting heavier and heavier!

  A faintly pink cloud formed from the gathering of vital energy, where the vital energy transformed into strands **, slowly flowing within. A sense of heaviness emerged, like mercury water.

  Those clouds were constantly squeezing each other, and the violent factors were crackling with a loud noise, and a fiery red light flashed through the void.

  Everyone can feel the energy of this cloud gathering and growing stronger, like a dangerous thing that may erupt at any moment!

  ……

  "What is this kid doing?! Why hasn't he absorbed the spiritual energy yet?! Is he looking for death?!"

  "Is he trying to break through his power in one breath?! It's too dangerous, if it goes wrong, his body may explode and die!"

  "What bravery of King Shi! The method is too unwise."

  ……

  Everyone was shocked by Wang Shi's behavior, this kid is playing with fire, if not careful it will burn himself!

  Zhou Xuanming's eyes also jumped up and down as he looked at him.

  "This kid is really something!"
