Chapter 11: Altar

What kind of person was his own brother?
Su Xuan had no idea, because he had never gotten any information about him from others.

Furthermore, his brother rarely came home. In these past few years, he had only come home once or twice, and even when he did, he rarely talked about matters on the front lines.

Therefore, to Su Xuan, Su Chen was a very familiar yet strange name.

What was familiar was the many years they had spent together, but ever since Su Chen went to the front lines, they had never had any close contact or communication.

Having not seen him for many years, he had no idea how he was doing there.
Was it good or bad?

To Su Xuan, as long as he was alive, it was better than anything else.

Because he was his only relative in this world.

However, if Su Xuan knew that his brother was actually a Lieutenant General, he would definitely be stunned.

The rank of Lieutenant General was not something one could get just by seniority; it was a symbol of strength.

To become a Lieutenant General, one had to be a member of the world’s top tier of combat power, at least at the peak of the second form, and able to fight against a third-form warrior without falling into a disadvantage for a short period of time.

For someone who hadn’t even mastered the initial form, the second and third forms were too far away, too far away.

Su Xuan, who had just been questioned, stared blankly at the table, his heart full of anxiety.

He didn’t look too nervous during the questioning, forcing himself to remain calm.
Only after they left did he dare to breathe heavily.

The reason he could appear so calm during the interrogation was probably related to Su Xuan’s talent.

The more nervous he was, the higher his control over his body, and at the same time, his mind reached a state of extreme coldness.

And this coldness was a psychological coldness, one could say it was a kind of calmness.

Therefore, during the questioning just now, he could “chat and laugh” very calmly.
But as soon as the people left, that excessive nervousness disappeared, and he gasped for breath.

At the same time, his mind was full of the conversation just now, recalling whether there were any flaws in his answers.
Fortunately, he hadn’t deviated from the direction of his answers.

He had indeed given out the information about the Black Energon Stone.

There was no need to say much about other aspects.

He sat on the sofa like this for more than forty minutes.

After not hearing another knock on the door, Su Xuan stood up, only to feel his legs trembling.

He rubbed his fair, tender legs and walked shakily into his bedroom.

On the other side, Captain Chen Daocheng, who had cleared Su Xuan of suspicion, had already returned to the Investigation Bureau.

As soon as he entered the bureau, he hurried into the archives room.
His fingers slid across rows of file folders, finally stopping on a brownish-yellow paper bag.

“Qingcheng Crisis Incident!”

This was a large-scale terrorist incident recorded a few years ago.

Many years ago, a Black Abomination altar suddenly appeared in the normal and peaceful Qingcheng.

A huge black pillar of light shot into the sky.

It summoned the descent of the Dark Abominations, plunging Qingcheng into chaos.

Fortunately, there was a frontline squad returning to the city for rest and recuperation at that time, and in this squad was a second-form master.

He single-handedly destroyed the Black Abomination altar, minimizing the losses.

The Black Energon Stone was a very important strategic material used to make energy stones.

But the Black Energon Stone was originally used to summon the Dark Abomination army.

Using the altar as a launcher and the Black Energon Stone as energy, they opened a channel between the two worlds and summoned the Dark Abominations.

Whether the Black Energon Stone was really used to activate the altar, Chen Daocheng didn’t know.

But as the captain of the Investigation Bureau’s investigation team, he had to figure this out.

It was truly unbelievable that in this peaceful town, there was a Black Abomination altar waiting for a Black Energon Stone.

Su Xuan, who had returned to his room, began to cultivate.

The Black Energon Stone energons he had absorbed into his body earlier transformed into ordinary energons, which also contained a large amount of soul essence.

The number of energons was enormous.
If not absorbed in time, it would be a great burden on the body.

One Black Energon Stone could make at least twenty-some energy stones.

The amount of energons accumulated in his body was equivalent to four or five stones.
It seemed that the substance absorbed by the Phantom Soul also contained a large amount of energons, or rather, that absorbed special substance could possibly be constructed into energons.

Under the urging of his Phantom Soul and his will, the energons of four or five energy stones began to circulate around the meridians in his body.

Mixed with the azure soul essence, they gradually dissolved into the cells.

The cells absorbed and exhaled the energons, constantly being strengthened, being strengthened, being changed by the soul essence.

And that not-so-large amount of red soul essence also circulated in his body, not attacked by the blue feminine soul essence.
The two were like friends, circulating together in his body, being absorbed by the cells, without any conflict.

Being influenced by two completely different soul essences, it was impossible to tell whether it was a good thing or not.

The amount of red soul essence was too small, and its effect on the cells was negligible, even to the point of being ignored, which pained Su Xuan greatly.

It seemed that the road ahead was still very, very long.

With the help of his Phantom Soul, Su Xuan was eager to quickly break through to the initial form.

The so-called initial form was a state of arrival.

When the control over energons and the body reached a certain height, one could immerse energons into special iron, reaching a state where energons could be released externally.

Before, Su Xuan had been trying hard to break through this point, but he was always just a little bit off.

As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety.
The effort required for that last bit might be more than all the previous efforts combined.

This was also why Su Xuan finally succumbed to the “seduction” of his Phantom Soul.

To become an official warrior, one must first reach the initial form.

Because without reaching the initial form, one couldn’t even harm a Dark Abomination.

A special iron blade without energon infusion could not cause any damage to a Dark Abomination.

Even if you could lift a tripod, you could only repel the Dark Abomination, causing a certain delay effect.

This was also why, even though the war was so tense, not all young and able-bodied men could join the army on the front lines, because not everyone could enter the initial form.

The sooner one reached the initial form, the sooner one had the opportunity to enter the front lines.

The sooner one entered the front lines, the more Black Energon Stones one could obtain.

This was a necessary investment, all for the future.

A large amount of feminine soul essence flowed into the cells.

His skin became so tender it could be broken by a puff of air.

His fair, tender skin was hard for any male to resist.

His hair, which was considered medium-length among boys, grew wildly.

The energons provided it with a large amount of energy.

In the blink of an eye, a head of beautiful black hair grew to the length of his shoulders.

All these were changes that Su Xuan, who was engrossed in cultivation, could not detect.

If he were to wake up, it would probably be another sad story.

The originally crowded meridians slowly began to flow smoothly.

The meridians that had been stretched to their limit also slowly returned to normal.
The cells were nourished to be extremely full by the energons, and the soul essence also slowly transformed the cells with the help of the energons.

He took out the special iron blade from the box, held his breath, and focused.

The energons began to circulate crazily in his body.

All five senses were attracted by the vortex-like flow of energons.

Wave after wave, he charged, trying to permeate the energons out and into the cold special iron blade.

However, there was a membrane in the dark that blocked all impacts.

Even the strongest impact could only shake it by half.

This barrier firmly sealed the energons and his senses within Su Xuan’s body, unable to rush out.

“Still not working?”

Su Xuan lowered his head in disappointment.

He habitually touched his head.

Before his hand even reached his head, he touched silky black hair.

“Eh?”

Su Xuan quickly picked up a few strands of hair and pulled them in front of his eyes to look.

“Why is it so long?”

This hair was already shoulder-length short hair.

Paired with his nation-toppling beauty…

‘Did the large amount of soul essence carried out after using the Black Energon Stone energons to treat Su Xuan’er, which was then mostly absorbed during cultivation, transform my body so intensely?’

In an instant, Su Xuan came out of his state of disappointment and rushed into the bathroom, stripping himself naked again.
His hair already fell to his shoulders, whereas yesterday it was just the length of a normal boy’s.

Su Xuan checked his second brother again.
He didn’t know if it was a psychological reason, but it seemed to have shrunk by a circle.

Looking at the weakened little Su Xuan, Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little self-blame in his heart.

Such days would probably continue for a while.

His gaze then swept to his upper body.
The four-pack abs were already faint, and the V-lines on his waist were beginning to appear.

His waist, which was not considered wide to begin with, had become even more exquisite.

A waist like a water snake that no man could handle.

One feared that upon touching Su Xuan, they would be disarmed and surrender in minutes.

His gaze moved further up.

It seemed there was, and yet there wasn’t.
Those two little grapes were still like sentinels at an airport, standing firm on this vast plain.

However, he didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but his chest felt itchy, as if something was about to break through the soil.

Although the changes had gone in the direction he least wanted to see, it didn’t mean he had no hope.

As long as he could get enough Black Energon Stones, he could obtain a sufficient amount of yang soul essence through the crimson blade.

“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man, it will first frustrate his spirit and will, toil his sinews and bones, expose his body to hunger, and subject him to poverty, and confound his undertakings! As long as I hold firm to my original heart, and adhere to the three principles without wavering, there is still a possibility of turning the tables! To return to the body of a proud and imposing man.”

Su Xuan clenched his fist and gave himself a big cheer, only to find that his voice seemed to have degenerated, returning to the androgynous state of his childhood, with a trace of seduction and milkiness.

This looked a bit comical.

A girl as beautiful as a flower, a nation-toppling beauty, standing in front of a mirror and saying she wanted to become a big man.

If others saw it, their jaws would surely drop.

The soft and glutinous voice made the oath seem powerless.

Su Xuan also lowered his head.
It was easy to say, but how could Black Energon Stones be so easy to obtain?

The road was long and the task was arduous!

The most likely place to obtain Black Energon Stones was the Land of Chaos.
And to enter the Land of Chaos, he had to improve his strength.

And to improve his strength, Su Xuan’er’s assistance was indispensable.

So the final conclusion was that he would have to endure the transformation by the feminine soul essence for a period of time.
He could only hope that he could hold on until then.

He tied up his shoulder-length hair, picked up a rubber band, and skillfully tied it up.
Because it hadn’t been trimmed, the wildly grown hair looked so uneven.

But who asked Su Xuan to have such a nation-toppling face?

Paired with that unique temperament, it had a strange kind of beauty.

After getting dressed, he prepared to go out and get his hair cut.
