In the deepest part of the cavern, a frozen Sung Kang is standing still. A single movement could mean death to everything in Ming’s Forest. Sung Kang, now struggling to control the Qi inside of him is out of options. The floating books then surrounded Sung Kang, linking each other with Qi chains to circulate the berserk Qi and lessen the strain on his underdeveloped Qi veins, and Qi cores. The books were in a bind as well, they haven’t encountered such a violent Qi like this before.

{Boy!!! Don’t rush it !! just keep doing that and you’ll be fine!!}

{Master is strong!! He can do it!!}

{He has to do it!!}

{WHAT?}

{HE NEEDS TO CULTIVATE!!! NOW!! OR HE WILL KILL US ALL!!!!}

{BOY!! CONDENSED ALL THE QI AND BRING IT TO YOUR CORE!!!}

{BY THEN, YOU WILL FINALLY HAVE A CULTIVATION LEVEL!!!!}

{SHIT!!! LOOK!!!}

{WHAT THE FUCK!!!}

{WHAT’S HAPPENING!?}

{MA-MA-MASTER IS FLOATING!!!}

The floating books witnessing this were scared shitless. Witnessing a scene that has never happened to someone with Qi overload in the history of Murim, this was a first for all of them. Sung Kang’s berserk Qi was too strong that even the floating books could not regulate it, so strong that Sung Kang started to levitate and absorb the resources and nutrients around the caverns. Metals, rock, earth, plants, water, all of it, even Old Liu’s Qi and body were slowly getting absorbed by Sung Kang. Everything was absorbed and reduced to the purest form of Qi, all of the resources were stripped to the atom. One of Old Liu’s right hands was being absorbed by Sung Kang, only a stump was seen instead of a hand. Old Liu who has 30 pairs of hands, feet, and fingers, was now left with 29 and decreasing by the minute if he did not take action. Old Liu used his internal Qi that he gathered from more than a thousand years of sleep to shield himself from Sung Kang’s absorption and to shield Sung Kang from absorbing any more of the caverns to prevent them from collapsing and trapping them for eternity. It was a battle of time, once Old Liu’s Internal Qi runs out everything in the caverns and underground will be absorbed by Sung Kang and all the vegetation around the Scraclau tribe will wither and die, the future of the clan is in Sung Kang’s hands. One would only hope that things would go under control and not get awry. This went on for about 5 hours until Sung Kang finally stopped absorbing everything around him, now everything was peaceful and quiet Sung Kang was still levitating with blank white eyes looking at nothing. The floating books were still recovering from the recoil of the berserk Qi when they see unusual things happening to Sung Kang’s body.

{HEY!! HEY!! LOOK!! WHAT IS THAT!?}

{HUH? WHAT THE-}

{HOLY SHIT.}

{HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!!!}

{What is that? 1st book sunbae, please tell me!! What is happening to master!!}

{Metamorphosis.}

{Huh?}

{That is what’s happening to him right this moment.}

{What is that? Does that happen commonly?}

{No.}

{It never happens. Well, most of the time.}

{No. It’s not supposed to happen at all, not when you don’t have a cultivation base it happens.}

{We are now witnessing something that surpasses God-like growth.}

{More than a monster, surpasses a God, one drop is more than all the waters in Murim itself.}

{Something that can only happen to demi-god stage martial artists, is now happening to someone who does not have a cultivation base at all.}

{Something that is not supposed to happen, is happening right before our very eyes but we’re floating books so it’s happening right in front of our book covers.}

{Once you have attained metamorphosis once, you have become close to a God-like existence and martial artists who have achieved it once have become immortals and ruled the deities and heavens and became the god-king of all, garnered glory, endless riches, women with limitless beauty, all of it and died with the highest form of glory, not even a normal mortal emperor could even dream of having.}

{But what about achieving it 2 times? Maybe 3 times?}

{Nobody knows. Because nobody has ever done that before.}

{Until now that is.}

{What do you mean?? What’s happening??}

{What’s going to happen to master!!?}

{Look!! What the fuck is happening!!?}

{Hey, hey, hey !! no one told me about this!!!}

{What the shit!!!}

{So, it begins…}

{Interesting indeed.}
