Ch. 4. Great Increase in Strength

"Whelp."

"Go away, I hate you."

"There are new loot chests."

"What? Where are they?"

Soon, with Deathwing's help, they were all revealed.

Fan Wuji and Deathwing's rise in cultivation is accompanied by a lot of chests, looming and radiating light, as if to say.

"Go master, open them all."

Facing this kind of temptation, how could Fan Wuji be able to hold on to it?

"Open, open, open...."

He quickly opened all the loot chests one by one.

Ilarian Announcer

Tyrannical Destroyer Brightwing skin

Mystical Kingdoms Arthas skin

D.Va Confirmed spray

Spoiled Slacker Orphea skin

...

A total of a dozen common chests were opened, and everything was not bad.

Fan Wuji estimates that compared to no one in particular, his current inventory is not weak.

Although he might not be able to compare to the rich kids for resources, Fan Wuji is definitely not false when it comes to pretending.

The rest are 3 rare chests.

The things that come out of the first chest are basically some commons, a rare and an epic, and Fan Wuji is more comfortable in receiving the epic reward for it is another hero.

"TASTE THE FLAMES OF SULFURON!"

Ragnaros, the Firelord, is a melee Bruiser and Warcraft. Ragnaros is a powerful Bruiser who can sow the seeds of destruction in fights or simply when defending his team's fortifications. Ragnaros is a unique addition to Fan Wuji's team thanks to his ability to take over buildings with his trait, Molten Core. Seizing control of a building grants him a new set of Abilities that allow him to defend against the enemy's siege or lay waste to an enemy's domain in an allied push.

Ragnaros is a Bruiser who can nullify the enemy offense when defending fortified positions.

Fan Wuji's eyes lit up, this is not bad.

He now has two heroes, but the contract places are limited since he is black iron 4, which usually has 1 contract place. If he continues to upgrade to bronze and higher, there will be more contract places with each big rank, increasing one by one each until having 6 contract places in diamond.

Ragnaros, he is also a bruiser, he will have a good synergy with Deathwing.

With him, there is no waste in taking up space, since he is also Bruiser and Warcraft in one.

Although Fan Wuji's own strength is already strong, but he still did not add any new synergy to the Traits bar in the TFT gameboard. Maybe because he is a summoner, and only soulbeasts can add to it.

On the other hand, Ragnaros has no such restriction at all. He can empower both Warcraft and Bruiser traits.

Also, in the future, after the cultivation rank is promoted to Diamond, Ragnaros can still use Molten Core to surprise himself.

Fan Wuji can also try blacksmithing. Buying ores at a low price, going through refining by Ragnaros and Deathwing, turning it into steel products and then selling it at a high price.

Just thinking about it makes him feel that earning money won't be a problem.

Next is the second loot chest.

Turned out to be a legendary- Ruby Greed Skin of Cho'gall.

"It's actually a disguise for the ogre!"

Fan Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling quite good.

He actually also has a way to disguise himself now, such as this Ruby Greed skin, which Deathwing considers to be only slightly less handsome than his Forbidden Dark Nexus skin. Once it is used, he becomes a Baron of the Treasure Realm, one who revels in the gold and gems he collects from his goblin minions. He is not afraid to fiercely defend his riches.

However, this Ruby Greed skin has a huge flaw.

That is, it is a disguise, once people know about it, then it cannot be called a disguise anymore.

And the illusion has no trace. After learning it, Fan Wuji can use the illusion to confuse the enemy with false promises of riches, and his power will not be weaker than the Forbidden Dark Nexus Deathwing.

There is only one other usable stuff in the chest.

Of the two common items, and one rare, there are but two sprays, and only one portrait.

A portrait called Plush Gravekeeper, that can trick the dead ancestors of the strong, and force them to harass and scold the enemy.

There are not many good things that Fan Wuji was overwhelmed for a while.

Anyway, he has no use for these yet, and there are only so few heroes he can contract with.

Actually, 6 soulbeasts, it's really not much.

Thinking about it carefully, in the future, once he has cultivated to the Diamond rank or become even more powerful than Diamond. Does he only have to use these 6 soulbeasts since the limit is just that?

How can it be that he only has to be content with only this small number when he has this virtual space that has an arsenal of almost a hundred heroes, albeit temporarily unavailable.

After all, other summoners also have their own professional teams and professional clubs.

Next, there is the last loot chest left.

If nothing else, it is basically a rare loot chest, and Fan Wuji is already somewhat immune, so he can't be too interested.

Of course, when the gift bag was opened, Fan Wuji's eyes lit up.

The skin of the newest hero he got - Lil' Ragnaros.

"A useable skin again?"

It seems that after he absorbed the power of Cho'gall, the rewards he received was really not strong.

You must cultivate more to get new chests. Replace quality with quantity.

Fan Wuji clicked on the introduction of Lil' Ragnaros; YOU FOOL! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SUMMONING ME TOO SOON? I DESPISE BEING ADORABLE!

Lil' Ragnaros is still young and has room for growth. He can absorb and fuse suitable fires to improve their own characteristics, strength, and rank.

Seeing the characteristics of Lil' Ragnaros, Fan Wuji silently shouted out in his heart!

As expected of the last chest, it's too perverted.

It can actually absorb fires.

If he absorb Gall's shadowflame, can he envelop the surrounding terrain at 360 degrees without any blind spots?

Is it possible to absorb Deathwing's dragonfire, with a single bound can he fly tens of kilometres in a blink of an eye?

Absorb Cho's blaze, with just one touch, can he roast the enemy?

Although those exercises can be performed by Ragnaros, there is a problem that they are not abilities. To perform them, they must first run in the body and absorb aura to complete the application of these exercises.

This speed is very slow, and compared with using abilities and mana, the speed is much faster.

Especially in high-level life-and-death battles, there may be no time to perform these ineffective exercises.

For example, Consuming blaze is the ability from Cho that can heal wounds, the Eye of Kilrogg from Gall creates an illusion that allows you to observe the surroundings, and Cataclysm is Deathwing's heroic or ultimate ability that combines both attack and movement method in one ability.

Now, if it is an ability, you don't need to run the exercises, you don't need to mobilize your aura, you don't even need mana(for Cho'gall at least), you just need a thought or intent to do it and it shall be done.

One move, quick effect, high power, and no more exercise to manually do!

A move can send the enemy to the west.

A very practical and perfect physical or mental force, depending on which hero are we talking about.

Fan Wuji, who was full of harvest, then took back his mind, smiled and looked at Ragnaros in front of him.

"Ragnaros, you should now be accustomed to this place already and you also have obtained the Lil' Ragnaros disguise. You must practice hard, improve yourself as soon as possible, and the strength will sooner or later grow back, maybe even surpassing the peak you have achieved before."

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Ragnaros nodded his head and said:

"THE END APPROACHES, SUPPLICANT. PREPARE TO USHER IT IN."

Harness the volcanic wrath of the Firelord to call down flaming meteors, crush foes with the explosive might of Sulfuras, and summon lava waves that will incinerate an entire army. When faced with a counter-attack, Ragnaros can empower a building, becoming a towering inferno over the structure and gaining a second set of abilities that will help you engulf assailants in the fires of doom. Allying yourself with Ragnaros will bring about a new era of destruction in the world of Ralos and will show your opponents the true meaning of the words "raid boss".

However, Fan Wuji couldn't help but frown. It seemed he felt Ragnaros signed his contract as a soulbeast, taking up one of his contract places.

"I think you just mistook me for the ogre. Wait, did you just became my 2nd soulbeast? How can that happen? I mean, I am only black iron rank and I can only have 1 soulbeast contract for now."

"YOU CAN'T, BUT MY PATHETIC SERVANT CAN! SINCE YOU NOW HAVE THEIR POWERS, YOU WILL REPLACE THEM. HERE, I AM THE FIRELORD, YOU SHALL OBEY ME, AND ALL YOUR OTHER SOULBEASTS WILL HAVE TO BE UNDER ME."

"A shame. You will always be a tier below me, Firelord."

"NELTHARION. YOU ARE HERE. SO BE IT THEN. REMEMBER CHILD, SERVE YOUR MASTERS WELL, AND YOU WILL ASCEND TO THE FLAME."

"Okay, okay, I'm joining your pyramid scheme already, now can you please stop shouting?"

"I'M NOT SHOUTING. THIS IS MY INSIDE VOICE."

Seeing that this place won't be peaceful and serene anymore, not with Ragnaros, it won't. Fan Wuji returned to the question of why he can have 2 soulbeasts in black iron. He pondered for a moment, only to realize that maybe it could have something to do with the two headed ogre.

"(Hmmm, so it could be that because I inherited the powers of Cho'Gall, I have now become two entities, and that could be the culprit as for why I have two soulbeasts instead of just one. Anyway, it's a blessing in disguise, and I can have 12 soulbeasts once I become Diamond. Even so, there are not enough contract places for the remaining 86 heroes. Anyways, the number of contracts doubled yet I'm still here complaining, greedy for even more contract places. Its rather uncharacteristic of me. No, wait! I seem to still have the disguise Ruby Greed Cho'gall activated. This must be its side effect. I must control this power and not let Greed take advantage of me. This should be my current way of mental practice. It might do wonders for my cultivation.)

"WHAT'S THIS WEIRD CONTRAPTION? HEARTHSTONE AUTOBATTLER? SWEET, HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DEAL SOME RANDOM DAMAGE."

"I remember it was in the same chest as me and it was called The Frozen Throne. We can just call it like that instead. Look at the new functions here. Double up mode. Maybe it unlocked after you gained that dumb ogre's power. You can refer a friend to assist you. Bah, who needs friends? I alone, am unstoppable."

"LET'S SEE, BRUISER AND WARCRAFT. HEY, LOOK AT THE NUMBER AT THE TOP PART OF THE BOTTOM HALF."

"2/2. Isn't that obvious? There are only 2 of us here, what else do you expect?"

"JUST POINTING OUT TO THIS STUPID SERVANT OF OURS."

"Even with 2 heads back then, countless failures were still made. With only 1 head now, I'm not hoping he improves, just hoping he does'nt degrade or something."

"Hey, I'm still human you know, I don't have thick skin like an ogre. Stop insulting me face to face. Just do it behind my back or something. I'm still the nominal summoner you know."

"Which reminds me, human whelp. It's almost been many days since you last saw your family. People have already checked up on you many times from when you started to absorb Cho'Gall's power. It is best if you return to ease their fears. We can't let anybody else know our great plan this early."

Fan Wuji listened to the dragon and he left his meditation state, one that has been maintained for about 11 days.

The moment he woke up, the slow beating heart of Fan Wuji suddenly sped up, and quickly returned to normal.

Then, a force from within flowed through the dormant body. Fan Wuji's unmoving body gradually recovered its vitality. In just a few seconds, the body returned to normal and beyond, as the vitality kept increasing.

The pale face gradually became ruddy. If you compare it carefully, you will find that Fan Wuji’s body has been pulled up by a few centimeters.

Reborn!

This is truly reborn!

Under the influence of Cho's essence and Gall's soul and hundreds or thousands of healing fountain refills, Fan Wuji was completely reborn!

"Uh……"

Fan Wuji woke up from the drowsiness. The first thing I saw was that the room was in a mess, he is on the floor but he slowly stood up without any weakness.

The only thing that can be felt is the raw power!

"This power..." Fan Wuji looked at his own fists, forcedly gripping it, feeling the incredible power, how much did my physical fitness change?

Fan Wuji is not clear, but his strength is definitely more than any other black iron rank cultivator.

The highest strength of black iron body cultivators is the strength of forty to fifty men. Exceeding this, is already the realm of bronze, and the strength of men conglomerates into the strength of oxen.

For example, in one side is an average bronze rank cultivator with the strength of 70 oxen, on the other, is a black iron cultivator with a theoretical strength of 150 men. Even if the black iron rank has more strength of men, he still won't able to escape the result of being defeated by the bronze rank because the strength of oxen is qualitatively better.

Strength of 100 gorillas, it is already the category of silver rank.

It is a category of gold rank if you have the strength of 130 bears.

It can be said that it is difficult to improve step by step. The higher the rank it is, the harder it is to upgrade! Moreover, one will have to convert the strength of each realm every time you reach the next rank. Only by having a pure single type of strength can a body cultivator advance into the next rank. It is not unheard of for people to stay the rest of their life in a rank just because they can't convert all their old rank's strength into the strength of the new rank's.

Fan Wuji's physical fitness in casual state is already many times stronger than the average iron rank, around the strength of 140 men. If he uses ogre martial arts, he can hit with the strength of 210 men. If he incorporates the Ruby Greed Baron's temperament into Gall, he will be able to strike with the strength of almost 300 men. If he also follows Cho's training methods of lifting a heavy horse as if it was light, he will be able to hit with the strength of 400 men. But only if he reaches the stage when he can sprint at full speed while carrying the 6.5/10 horse without ever getting tired at all.

This time, the promotion rewards definitely satisfied him!

This is not just an improvement in physical fitness. Fan Wuji stood up and felt his mental power. A strong mind cannot be without a strong body and vice versa. His body cannot grow stronger alone, it also brought an equivalent increase to his mental power, strengthening all his abilities in the process too. Moreover six brightly colored cards are floating in his mind, which is bright and comfortable. Sadly, he can only choose 2 of the 6.

Consuming Fire (Level 1)Cho

Consuming Blaze heals for 150% more when a Hero is Ignited.

Calloused Hide (Level 1)Cho

While under 60% maximum Health, Cho gains 15% increased Movement Speed and healing received.

The Will of Cho (Level 1)Cho

Quest: Killing enemies grants 1 stack of The Will of Cho, and Hero takedowns grant 10 stacks. Gain 1 Armor for every 30 stacks of The Will of Cho, up to a maximum of 10 Armor. This Armor bonus stacks with Ogre Hide.

Keep Moving! (Level 1)Gall

Increases the Movement Speed bonus of Shove by 10% and its duration by 2 seconds.

Taskmaster (Level 1)Gall

Every time Cho is hit by a Hero Basic Attack, reduce the cooldown of Shove by 1 second.

We See You! (Level 1)Gall

Eye of Kilrogg's cooldown is decreased by 25 seconds, its range is increased by 33%, and the number of Basic Attacks required to kill it is increased by 1.

He sat cross-legged, and choose the best skill Taskmaster from Gall. He can run if he can't beat, and this hole card is the best for him right now. Next is Consuming Fire from Cho. It helps in recovering the injury sustained by the body, and would increase his life preservation ability, lucky for him, he has twice the hole cards compared to his soulbeasts, meaning he has more potential than them!!

Fan Wuji smiled, after vacation, he must perform well in high school, so he can get into the top training class!

"It’s been 11 days since Xiao Wuji has left his room, I'm so worried, why don't we go inside again?"

Mother Fan calculated the time and said to Father Fan.

"Agree." Father Fan did not stop her this time, although the visiting doctor said his son is very healthy and they should wait for him to leave meditation, but he was doubtful since his son was a beginner who has only started to meditate after all.

After gently opening the bedroom door, the situation of the room surprised the two.

The room was a mess, and there were countless pieces of the cauldron and wood chips from the destroyed bed on the ground. Fan Wuji sat crosslegged in the ground where the bed was once placed, and he was surrounded by an oppressive aura.

It seems that someone came in, and Fan Wuji suddenly opened his eyes.

Two fierce lights flashed in the eyes, and the trace of majesty made father Fan feel a shock, a strong breath! This breath... is it...

"Son, are you fine?"

Mother Fan wanted to help her son, Father Fan reached out and stopped her, and the foot jumped, and immediately rushed to Wuji, punching!

Don't look at Father Fan's age, usually looking like an ordinary construction worker, but at this time, when he suddenly shot, it is like an avalanche.

Fan Wuji’s eyes flashed, and the response was to catch!

Plop!

Palm and fist intersected and there was no shock in the air. None of the two men fell back and they look like they were tied but you have to remember, Fan Wuji was sitting crosslegged.

"Father Fan! Why are you doing this?! Mother Fan quickly hurriedly went beside Wuji, and she was very dissatisfied with her husband. Her mouth scolded. "We're only talking about checking up on our son. Why would you beat him for no reason?"

Father Fan flashed a smile. "Stupid woman, your son's current situation, is it really possible to become this way after 11 days? Can block my punch, and the breath just now, presumably, his physique has probably exceeded 3 tons of iron. I've never seen such physique before, I feel like punching a mountain of cotton."

"!!"

Mother Fan’s eyes suddenly widened, and I remembered the result of the two men’s impact. This is also what she just thought, my son seemed to be starved and thirsty too...

"Son, what happened..."

Fan Wuji smiled lightly. "Father is right, I have become a black iron cultivator, and in addition to my summoner identity, you can say that I have a good chance of being admitted to a good college once I've finished high school."

"Good boy." Father Fan patted him on the shoulder. "When I graduated from high school, I only had the strength of 25 men and physique of 400 kilograms of iron. I was worried that you were not in a good spot to block. But it seems that you don't even need to prepare at all."

Fan Wuji scratched his head. "Thank father for your teachings."

"Don't flatter me boy, how did you change so much in just 11 days?" Father Fan looked at his child sitting in the ground and suddenly transferred the topic on how did Wuji get his strength. He also recognized the blue slimelike river sprite hiding behind Wuji, which he first saw about 11 days ago, when he visited the meditating boy after not seeing him go down for dinner.

Looking at the woodchips and urn pieces around, he picked them up one by one, and finally understood what happened. The boy gained much strength in a short time and was'nt able to control his own power. But it still won't be able to explain why this broken stuff was so crushed. Could it be that the change is not just the physical state alone?

"Father Fan, your son has only stopped meditation now, you should let him eat first." Mother Fang smiled. "When he finishes, you can know how strong your son is."

"Oh." Father Fan is still a little confused, when did his son suddenly become so powerful?

With Fan Wuji's normal physique of almost 5 tons of iron. Father Fan's punch was like a mud ox entering the sea. Fan Wuji can also increase it to 9 tons, but he still lacks some time to train his horse carrying capacity, and not only that, he also need to change his disguise into the Greed Baron. Thankfully, he remembered to remove this disguise, else father Fan might misunderstand his persona and would probably shoot first, and its not certain whether he, Fan Wuji will be spared by his father just to be asked questions later. Father Fan may be many things, but surely not indecisive.

Fan Wuji saw Father Fan's look and knows that he won't be able to easily hide this secret. He can only helplessly sigh, patted his knees and stood up, "Do not worry, father. Your son will answer after eating, I am very hungry right now."

"You should eat well, mother Fan has always cooked so much food these days, waiting for you to eat them. You didn't see xiao Yang yesterday. She is also worried." Father Fan said.

"Good, I'll meet her when I have time." Fan Wuji replied before following Mother Fan.

In the dining table, Fan Wuji's food is waiting there, Fan Wuji sat up straight, and started gorging up all the soup, as if he is in a binge eating competition.

Mother Fan looked at Fan Wuji. "Wait a moment, the soup is hot."

Fan Wuji smiled and said: "Mother, I have been very reckless, thanks for always thinking of me this past eleven days. In the whole world, the people who think the best for me, is only father and you."

"You boy." Mother Fan shook her head helplessly. "You are brave enough to be really called reckless. Even at black iron, you dare to meditate for such a long time! However, Zhao Yang happened to be visiting a lot these past few days, you should go see her soon. She informed your teachers and classmates of your problem and they gave us some help during this time, and they even consulted a doctor to visit us. You should really find a way to thank Zhao Yang and your teachers and classmates for their help."

Fan Wuji obviously is not a Zhongshan wolf."Rest assured mother. Fan Wuji, your son, was not raised to be ungrateful. Sooner or later, I will repay all my friends for their help, especially Zhao Yang. Words are not as good as deeds. Action is better than inaction."
