Chapter 125: Force-Feeding to Seven Stars

“Feed you to death?”

Ma Tianshun had lived so many years, yet this was the first time he’d heard such a brazen and shameless demand.

Thinking of all the grievances he’d suffered at the Binzhou Storage Bureau, Ma Tianshun felt a surge of excitement.

“Kid, today I’ll grant you this wish!”

As an alchemist of the Shenluo Alliance, Ma Tianshun wielded considerable power.

He began manipulating the mechanical arm, stuffing a semi-finished spiritual energy pill into Zhang Chu’s mouth.

“Detected host intake of semi-finished spiritual energy pill: Combat power +1000, Mental power +1000.”

Refining semi-finished spiritual energy pills using the core of a demonic beast was truly invigorating.

The pill slipped down smoothly.

The system’s voice continued to remind within the sea of consciousness.

“Idiot.”

Having tasted the sweetness, Zhang Chu mustered all his strength to flip Ma Tianshun the middle finger again.

“Ma Tianshun, is that all you’ve got? No wonder you’re stuck as a pill master at the storage bureau your whole life, without even qualifying for the Martial God Academy. Is the Shenluo Alliance leader blind? Letting you hunt warriors just to refine spiritual energy pills!”

“Zhang Chu, let’s see if your stubborn mouth is tougher than my alchemy skills!”

“If I don’t train you into the strongest half-beast bastard today, I’ll take your surname!”

Ma Tianshun exploded with rage.

He had finally gained vanity in Xianchi Village, only to have it shattered by Zhang Chu’s universally recognized rude gesture.

The twelve half-beasts quietly watching in the alchemy room could only endure Ma Tianshun calling them bastards.

And rightly so.

Half-beasts were hardly different from bastards.

Moreover, they had all consumed the Shenluo Alliance’s pills—any rebellion would cause their organs to rot and death to ensue.

In Xiannu Village, Ma Tianshun was their master!

Whatever the master said, these bastards had to swallow it.

What followed was even more intense.

Ma Tianshun controlled the mechanical arms, stuffing pill after pill of semi-finished spiritual energy pills into Zhang Chu’s mouth.

Through the camera feed, Zhang Xueying and the others were nearly beside themselves with worry.

“Chen Long, quickly ask where the Heavenly God War Machine from the Martial Affairs Bureau is. At this rate, Zhang Chu’s meridians will definitely rupture and kill him.”

Zhang Xueying’s eyes were filled with concern.

Not to mention these volatile spiritual energy pills, even an overdose of physical strength or mental concentration pills beyond the body’s limit could cause irreversible damage.

Ma Tianshun was clearly treating Zhang Chu like a pill receptacle.

Once the spiritual energy pills accumulated to a certain level inside Zhang Chu’s body, injecting the demonic beast’s serum would create a half-beast.

“Teacher Xueying, don’t worry. Xiao Chu is a lucky fellow under heaven’s protection; he’ll be fine.”

Wang Peng looked tense, glancing at the unconscious Fan Chengcheng, wishing for a big fight.

If not for this guy, Zhang Chu wouldn’t have risked it all alone.

Huang Lili even began murmuring prayers.

But none of them expected that besides a slightly bloated belly, Zhang Chu was actually feeling quite comfortable.

Within ten minutes, Ma Tianshun had fed him fifty semi-finished spiritual energy pills.

Fifty pills were nothing compared to that large jar of medicine.

Viewing the personal info panel:

Combat Power: 160,000 / 500,000
Mental Power: 165,000 / 500,000

In just ten minutes, Zhang Chu had increased by 50,000.

“Awesome, this feels unbelievably good. Ma Tianshun probably never imagined that I could directly absorb the power of spiritual energy pills to boost my cultivation.”

Zhang Chu rejoiced inwardly but still pretended to be terrified and angry.

He wanted to fuel Ma Tianshun’s excitement for a sense of accomplishment.

Along with indomitable curses.

Ma Tianshun would surely speed up feeding the pills.

“If you admit your mistakes now, I can ease your pain. I’ll inject the core serum of the Violent Vajra immediately, making you the most powerful half-beast in Xianchi Village.”

Seeing the pain on Zhang Chu’s face, Ma Tianshun felt ecstatic.

After being treated like a grandson at the Storage Bureau, here he was the master.

“Old idiot, I’m just getting started.”

Zhang Chu flipped another middle finger, the most effective insult to Ma Tianshun.

Sure enough,

Ma Tianshun kicked the chair away in anger.

“Damn it! It’s one thing for the Storage Bureau to bully me, but you little bastard dare insult me too!”

Five mechanical arms operated simultaneously, stuffing five pills into Zhang Chu’s mouth at once.

The nearest half-beast almost wet himself, hurriedly reminding, “Teacher Ma, these spiritual energy pills are the alliance’s monthly quota. If this kid eats them all, how will we train other half-beasts?”

“Do I need you to teach me how to do my job?”

“Zhang Chu is the alliance leader’s key person. We’re making him the strongest weapon for the alliance leader. What use are you trash for?”

Ma Tianshun stubbornly ignored their advice.

“Old hairy bastard, these pills are barely enough to stuff between my teeth. Looks like your alchemy skills really suck. Weren’t you trying to make me explode?”

Zhang Chu added fuel to the fire.

Ma Tianshun, a greasy baldie, was indeed losing his mind.

Five pills at a time.

One hundred and fifty semi-finished spiritual energy pills almost made Zhang Chu vomit.

Viewing the personal info panel:

Combat Power: 310,000 / 500,000
Mental Power: 315,000 / 500,000

He was not far from breaking through to seven stars and activating the “Berserk Devour” skill, but Zhang Chu simply couldn’t take any more.

If he kept going, he wasn’t sure if his meridians would explode, but his stomach would definitely be ruined.

“Teacher Ma, I was wrong. Give me a chance.”

Zhang Chu glanced at the large glass jar beside Ma Tianshun, which still held at least three hundred pills.

If he finished all of them,

Breaking through to seven stars would be a breeze.

“Beg me, and I’ll make it quick for you!”

Seeing Zhang Chu beg, Ma Tianshun was delighted.

“Teacher Ma, please put me down first. I’m willing to become a half-beast and serve the Shenluo Alliance, serve you. Besides, I brought you a gift this time.”

“Several comrades from the Martial Affairs Bureau and the Martial Research Institute are right outside Xianchi Village.”

“Don’t believe me? Look at the miniature camera on my chest.”

“I can lead people to capture them and become your half-beasts.”

Zhang Chu shouted.

Only then did Ma Tianshun notice the camera on Zhang Chu’s chest.

The other half-beasts immediately panicked.

If the Martial Affairs Bureau found out about Xianchi Village’s base, they’d be in deep trouble.

Ma Tianshun quickly deactivated the propulsion formation, grabbed Zhang Chu, and tore off the miniature camera.

“Perfect timing. If the Martial Affairs Bureau people become half-beasts, the alliance leader will be even happier!”

“Teacher Ma, you’re right. Let me bring a few people over—I guarantee success!”

While speaking, Zhang Chu quietly placed his right hand on the glass jar behind him.

“Ding dong!”

Sure enough, the system’s voice sounded in his mind: “Activating passive devour…”

Meanwhile,

Outside Xianchi Village, Chen Long’s scalp tingled.

“Damn, you people from the Martial Research Institute have no backbone, selling us out just like that?”

“Nonsense! Brother Chu isn’t that kind of person!”

Hu Sanyi swore on the spot.

“Hu Sanyi, who are you cursing? Try cursing one more time!”

Chen Long snapped.

“Xiao Chu absolutely isn’t like that. He wouldn’t betray the Shenluo Alliance—this must be a temporary strategy.”

Wang Peng also said.

“Brother Zhang Chu must have some unspeakable difficulties.”

Only Zhang Xueying remained silent, her expression complicated.

Finally, she said, “The camera was damaged, so we can’t know Zhang Chu’s plan, but we must prepare and wait for the second-generation patrol team’s support.”

After speaking,

Zhang Xueying waved her hand, wielding the God-Slaying Sword.

Everyone else also readied themselves for battle.

Without the camera feed,

Zhang Xueying and the others had no idea how good Zhang Chu was feeling right now.

After activating passive devour, simply absorbing the power of semi-finished spiritual energy pills made the system’s prompt nearly overheat.

Zhang Chu praised Ma Tianshun while angrily cursing the Martial Affairs Bureau’s shamelessness.

Ma Tianshun, caught up in the moment, joined in the curses.

“Zhang Chu, if you can bring those Martial Affairs Bureau people over today, I’ll definitely tell the alliance leader to reward you big time!”

“Old hairy bastard, listen to the vile words you’re speaking!”

Suddenly, Zhang Chu laughed.

Seven stars—breaking through was just that fast.

What did it mean?

Flip-flopping and going mad?

Just moments ago, he was cursing the Martial Affairs Bureau’s shamelessness with Ma Tianshun, now he turned around and called him an old bastard.

Unless the pills messed with his brain,

Who knew where Zhang Chu found such courage?

While everyone was still stunned, one half-beast noticed something even more absurd.

“Teacher Ma, look at the storage jar—the spiritual energy pills are… gone…”

Ma Tianshun turned around to see half the jar of pills had turned to powder.
