Li Yao was like a nouveau riche who had suddenly become rich. He was extremely excited and his mind was filled with all kinds of unbearable scenes. He lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed. Suddenly, his two legs went soft and he fell on his back. He felt that his four limbs were empty and he could not summon the slightest bit of strength. It was as if a thief had left the house and even the door had been removed by him!
The Black Wing Sword heard the noise and flew in from the outer room. It anxiously squeaked and flew out again with a "Whoosh" sound. It held a mirror and shone it on Li Yao's body.
"How could this be!" Li Yao was shocked.
It was as if he had been struggling at death's door in the desert for several months. He was so skinny that he was only skin and bones. Just a pair of sunken eye sockets occupied half of his face. His entire body did not have the slightest bit of flesh. His light purple veins weakly drooped on his skeleton like dried earthworms. His skin had turned gray and he looked exactly like a zombie.
This shock did not matter. His keen five senses, outstanding memory, and crystal processor-like calculation and analysis ability had all vanished in a flash. Li Yao was almost beaten back to his original state. He had only improved by a little bit compared to the past.
At almost the same time, his stomach seemed to be stuffed with a ball of fire. A ball of fire that was constantly exploding and spreading!
Li Yao seemed to hear every cell in his body howling mournfully, "Hungry! Hungry! Hungry! "
Even the thousands of telepathic thoughts in the depths of his brain were hungry to the extreme and began to devour each other!
"Quick, Little Black, give me something to eat!"
Li Yao never thought that extreme hunger would be as unbearable as a drug addiction. He rolled on the floor and shouted at the Black Wing Sword.
The Black Wing Sword squeaked twice. It was dissatisfied with its master's attitude. However, it still flew out of the outer room and soon came back with two cans of "Giant Star Beast" meat.
The name "Giant Beast of the Starry Sky" sounded very high-end, luxurious, and domineering, but in fact, it was made by the Cultivation Sect using secret medicine. It was a crossbreed between an ordinary pig and a stupid elephant, and in three months, it was an artificial meat animal that weighed ten tons. It was a fast-growing product, and the canned food was very greasy and tasted very bad. Ordinary citizens rarely bought it.
However, this kind of canned meat mixed with bones and offal was sold at a low price. Fifteen yuan could buy a large can of five catties of it. It was a rare delicacy for the poor, and it was also Li Yao's main source of meat. There were thirty to fifty cans stored at home at any time.
At this moment, when Li Yao saw the canned meat of the Giant of Galactic Behemoth, he was like a wolf that had been starved for three days and saw a lamb that had been cleaned and sprinkled with spices. His eyes glowed red, and his throat let out a "Gulu Gulu Gulu" sound. It was unknown where he got the strength, but he jumped up and held a can of meat in his arms. He opened his mouth wide and bit into it without caring about anything else.
"Kacha kacha! Kacha kacha! "The sound of teeth colliding was like two meat grinders colliding with each other. Sparks flew between the teeth.
The canned meat of the Giant of Galactic Behemoth was extremely salty, extremely fishy, and extremely greasy. Normally, Li Yao could eat three large bowls of white rice with just a thin slice. But at this moment, it was as if he was eating a rare delicacy in the world. It was as if he was possessed by a Taotie as he wolfed down the food. In one minute, he had swallowed an entire can of five catties of meat.
The space between his lips and teeth was numb, but his abdominal cavity was swollen incomparably. The canned meat of the Giant of Galactic Behemoth was highly compressed. When it came in contact with water, it could expand by at most a dozen times its original size.
In the depths of Li Yao's brain, his thoughts stirred, and a picture jumped out. It was a passage of words from the Hundred Smelting Clan's low-level general instructor, "Mighty Miracle God", in the dream of grandeur:
"Absorbing the stars and swallowing the moon, fasting and cultivating, and directly swallowing the spiritual energy of the world … This is a mysterious method that only high level cultivators can use. It is not something that trash like you can try!"
"For trash like you, food is the only source of spiritual energy. The foundation of all cultivation is the word 'eat'. Learning how to eat is the first step to becoming a cultivator!"
"Next, I will pass on to you the 'Great Art of the Swallowing Whale'. This is a cultivation method that specifically teaches you how to eat. It can help you swallow like a whale and absorb the energy contained within the food!"
"When cultivated to the peak, your stomach's peristalsis ability will increase by a hundredfold. You can swallow four hundred catties of beast meat every day. Even the sturdiest of spirit beast bones will be crushed into powder, completely absorbed, and transformed into the most basic spiritual energy. In a flash, it will fill your four limbs and hundreds of bones. It will cause your blood vessels to expand, and your strength will be boundless!"
"Remember, if the 'One Hundred and Eight Hands Chaos-Gale Hammer Technique' is not practiced to perfection, then there is still a sliver of leeway to remedy it. But if you don't practice this' Great Art of the Swallowing Whale 'well, then you will forever be a mortal. Don't even think about stepping onto the road of cultivation!"
"Ou Yeming, you first come up here for me. Eat this two hundred catties of stinky fish. I will first teach you the Hundred Smelting Clan's secret technique, the 'Great Art of the Swallowing Whale'!"
… …
Li Yao's pair of eyes suddenly widened until they were round and bulging. From within his abdomen came a rumbling sound. It was as if a powerful machine had suddenly been activated!
In a split second, it was as if there were several monsters scurrying about in his abdomen. The skin of his abdomen was stretched to the point that it was nearly transparent!
His gastrointestinal tract was in the process of peristalsis at a speed that exceeded that of a normal person's by several tens of times. It rapidly digested and decomposed the meat of the Giant of Starry Skies and transformed it into the most basic of energy. It was endlessly supplied to his dried-up four limbs and hundreds of bones, and to his eight extraordinary meridians!
The speed at which the meat of the Giant of Starry Skies swelled when it came into contact with water could not compare to the speed at which it was digested and absorbed. His protruding abdomen quickly calmed down, and even caved in once again.
"This won't do. I'm still hungry. Quick, bring me another can!"
Li Yao ate until his mouth was smooth. In two or three bites, he had completely devoured the second can of Giant of Starry Skies' meat. He was still not satisfied. He patted the floor and had the Black Wing Sword continue to bring more meat.
Three cans, five cans, twenty cans ….
In a short hour, he glued himself to his skin and bones and swallowed an entire thirty-one cans of Giant of Starry Skies' meat. He drank a bucket full of drinking water, and wiped clean all the stock in his house. Only then did he let out a belch, as if he had not had enough.
"Squeak, squeak?"
The Black Wing Sword looked at its master somewhat worriedly. It had never seen a person crazily eating Giant of Starry Skies' meat. It did not know what was wrong with its master, so it could not help but ask with concern.
Li Yao smacked his lips and used his tongue to pick out a strand of meat. He carefully savored the aftertaste. "I don't think I'm full yet. I can still eat three to five more cans."
"…" The Black Wing Sword was speechless. If it had eyes, it would have definitely rolled its eyes at this moment.
"Finally, I'm alive again!" Li Yao let out a sigh of relief with great satisfaction. He clenched his fists and carefully sized up his arms, feeling the power surging from the depths of his bone marrow.
As he ate more and more cans of Giant of Starry Skies' meat, under the crazy digestion and absorption of the 《Art of the Swallowing Whale》, his body also underwent earth-shattering changes.
The beast meat was transformed into the purest form of spiritual energy. With the nourishment of abundant spiritual energy, his dried up blood vessels were once again filled. His withered muscles swelled once again, and his bones were like steel bars, becoming abnormally tough and durable.
In the mirror, his complexion was still somewhat ashen. Compared to before, his body was also somewhat thin and weak. However, under the dull skin, there were hidden tight muscles. With just a little bit of strength, they would stand out like thick steel cables.
Li Yao clenched his fists and hammered two fists on his chest that were neither light nor heavy. They let out a dull sound. His chest felt as if it was padded with seven to eight layers of sun-dried leather. He did not feel any pain at all.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! " He swung his arm and casually punched out seven to eight times. Suddenly, three to five afterimages appeared in the air, letting out the sound of fists breaking through the air.
"My fist strength has increased by at least 15%, and my fist speed has increased by at least 20%. The 《Art of the Swallowing Whale》 can really be described in one word — truly fucking tyrannical!"
Realizing that the memory fragments from the dream of grandeur could actually be used in the real world, Li Yao could not help but go wild with joy. He was like a tramp who had picked up a windfall from the sky.
However, when he consciously recalled the enormous memory bank left behind by Ou Yezi in the dream, he discovered that it was the same as all dreams. A second ago, the memory was incomparably clear, but in the next second, it became hazy, mottled, and unable to be used.
"If only there was a way to recall every detail of the dream. Even if I could only steal 10% of Ou Yezi's ability, becoming the Federation's number one refining master would be as easy as flipping my hand! At that time, I would have a mountain of gold and a sea of silver. I would have a nice car and beautiful women. I would be revered by tens of thousands of people, and I would become an idol figure popular among millions of young people … "
Li Yao mischievously laughed as he indulged in his imagination.
The Black Wing Sword coldly snorted in disdain. It twisted its hilt and flew away.
At this moment, the crystal processor suddenly let out a "beep" sound. A virtual paper crane flew out from the bottom right of the hologram and circled around Li Yao's head three times. With a "pa" sound, it exploded and turned into an ice- cold message:
"You didn't come to school today?"
