Chapter 5: The Great Emperor Level Strongman

  "What? There's still a transaction after the trial?" Qin Lang was suddenly frightened, and as soon as he thought of the pain he had experienced before, his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

  "Haha, don't worry, this deal won't bring you any pain. On the contrary, it will bring you benefits that you can't even imagine, perhaps ones that you couldn't achieve even if you worked hard your whole life." The voice of Tsang-sang echoed in Qin Lang's ear.

  "What benefits?" Qin Lang's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and as soon as he heard the word "benefits", he immediately became interested. However, Qin Lang quickly narrowed his eyes, knowing that these so-called benefits were probably not easy to obtain.

  "What is the price?" Qin Lang asked cautiously.

  "Hmm, with a strong conviction and kind heart, now combined with cleverness and prudence, I'm really growing to like you more and more." The voice praised.

  "You talk too much, just get to the point!" Qin Lang really couldn't stand this voice that was dragging on and on.

  "Hmm, you're quite impatient, aren't you? Don't rush, what's the hurry? You can rush all you want, but you'll still have to wait for me to tell you before you know, right?" The voice burst into loud laughter, and yet, that weathered voice spoke words as childish as a kid's, causing Qin to raise an eyebrow.

  "......" Qin Guang also stopped responding and remained silent, waiting for the voice to continue speaking.

  "Hmm..." Seeing Qin Huan didn't respond, the voice also paused for a moment, losing interest. He could only clear his throat and continue: "Actually, what happened earlier was not just a test for you, but also a tempering process. That distorted space tempered not only your body, but also your willpower. Now, whether it's your body or your willpower, both have reached a level that ordinary people can't achieve. Every muscle, every tendon and bone of yours has been torn apart and reorganized, broken and then rebuilt; your willpower has also become stronger in the midst of extreme pain. Do you feel these changes?"

  "Huh?" Upon hearing this, Qin Lin also paid attention to his own body. His focus had always been on the voice that was conversing with him, and he hadn't carefully observed his own body before. With this exploration, a hard-to-describe joy rose up from the bottom of Qin Lin's heart.

  Is the current self still the weak and frail Qin Lang of the past? The streamlined muscles all over his body, looking not flashy, yet full of explosive power. Every bone is as hard as fine iron. Such a physique, hard as iron, tough and resilient.

  Qin Lang closed his eyes, he couldn't see anything around him, but his consciousness could feel all the fluctuations around him. The heartbeat of the purple-robed woman beside him, the flow of blood, and the fluttering of her hair were all etched into his mind like a clear picture. Even the distorted space around him was something Qin Lang could vaguely sense.

  "Hahaha!" Qin Lang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and burst out laughing. Having lived for nearly twenty years, Qin Lang had never felt as powerful as he did at this moment. If he were to face that bald-headed naked man Xu Ba Tian again, he was confident that he could effortlessly take down the entire group of bandits.

  "How's it? Are you satisfied?" A hoarse voice rose up, interrupting Qin Huan's excitement.

  "Satisfied, very satisfied!" Qin Lang's excitement was overflowing, "Is there such a test again? Although it was painful, but even if I came ten or eight times again, I don't care, haha!"

  "It's all gone, not even once, you have no idea how much heart and soul I've put into transforming your tattered body into what it is now. Do you want to come back ten or eight times?!" The voice was clearly enraged by Qin Lang's words.

  "Huh? What's this transaction you're talking about?" Qin Lang asked with a hint of embarrassment, knowing he had been a bit too greedy.

  "Hehe, actually from the moment you entered this space and passed my test, our transaction has begun. I'll give you"

  A fortuitous encounter has granted you an extraordinary spirit and will, which allows you to absorb the essence of heaven and earth at a speed several times that of ordinary people. No matter what kind of martial arts or secret techniques you learn, you can achieve twice the effect with half the effort. You can easily cultivate to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach." The voice stopped here, seemingly waiting for Qin Lin's reaction.

  Qin Lang took a deep breath, his breathing became rapid, every hair on his body was trembling. Such conditions could drive anyone crazy, but Qin Lang did not get carried away by this great benefit. He knew that the more he got, the less he would pay.

  "So, matching this, what do I need to pay?" Qin Lang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with a trembling voice.

  "You need to help me find nine people, obtain the essence of their lives and bring it to a place." Cang Sang's voice gradually became serious, as if he was telling an extremely solemn matter.

  "You want me to kill them?" Qin Lang's eyes widened. He had lived for almost twenty years, and not only had he never killed anyone, but he rarely even killed chickens, although he ate a lot of them - they were always already cooked by someone else.

  "No, no, no, you don't need to kill them, you just need to get their essence blood, even if it's only one drop."

  "This is about right, you scared me to death." Qin Lang let out a sigh of relief, "So where do I need to go to find these nine people? And after finding them, where do I need to take their essence blood?"

  "You ask me, I don't know either." A very arrogant reply sounded in Qin Cang's ear, "But even if you find these nine people, it's probably not that easy to get their essence blood. From my speculation, each of these nine people has the power to reach the sky, and with just a casual sneeze, they can blow you away to another planet. I think, even if it's the weakest one among them, it won't be much weaker than the Great Emperor Taishang."

  "Damn it!" Qin Heng almost spat out a mouthful of blood, his face twisted to the extreme, eyes wide with rage, bellowing: "Big bro, are you kidding me?! You want me to get the essence blood of nine Emperor-level powerhouses? What kind of trade is this, what a joke! Come on, just kill me directly!"

  "It's not that the nine are at the Emperor level, what I mean is that among these nine people, even the weakest one is at the Emperor level, and the stronger ones have reached a level that I can't predict. If you're lucky, you might get along well with one of them, and maybe you can easily obtain their essence blood. But if you encounter someone with a bad temper, unless you fight them, there's no way to fulfill my conditions."

  "you... you... you..." Qin Lang was suddenly unable to find any words to respond, and after a long time, not a single word came out. He couldn't imagine that behind this transaction, it was possible for him to fight against nine people who might be even stronger than the Heavenly Emperor.

  The Great Emperor of the Supreme Heaven, the strongest in the Supreme Heaven Realm. It was an existence that he couldn't even imagine, and yet he had to face not one, but nine opponents who were equally or possibly even more powerful.

  "So, I gave you that opportunity, and now it's up to you to work hard and cultivate yourself to reach an extremely high level. If one day you stand at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, this is not a condition that you cannot achieve."

  "Of course, if you are unwilling to accept this deal, I won't force you either. I will erase all the memories of what happened today. However, the unyielding will and strong physique you obtained from passing the first two trials will still be yours, which will greatly help your future cultivation. Although you may not become a top-notch super expert, you won't be too bad either."

  "The choice is in your hands, to go or to stay?" After saying that, the voice didn't rush him either, knowing that such a transaction wasn't an easy decision for this young man.

  At this moment, Qin Lang was indeed caught in a fierce struggle.
