Therefore, he could only pass this stage by being ruthless to himself.
Wen Xiangqin was different from Hou Fei. Wen Xiangqinâs physical fitness was good to begin with. In addition, he often took medicinal baths in the past, so he was used to the feeling of pain all over his body.
Therefore, although the pain in the Marrow Cleansing Pond was very strong, Wen Xiangqin could still withstand it. Moreover, it was much easier than Hou
Fei.
When he heard Hou Feiâs conversation with another person, he naturally became interested. âThatâs right, brother. Letâs get to know each other.â
That person was stunned for a moment before he laughed boldly. âIâm from the Chouniu branch. My name is Jiang Cheng. What about you?â
âWeâre all from the Sishe branch. My name is Hou Fei.â
âMy name is Wen Xiangqin. The person in the cubicle in the middle is our boss, Chen Qiyue!!
Wen Xiangqin also introduced Chen Qiyue to him.
The few of them shouted and chatted, diverting their attention. They felt that the pain seemed to have lessened a little.
In this way, they were more willing to continue chatting.
âYo, Sishe, I heard that 13 geniuses came this time. Thereâs also someone that scored full marks in pre-selection training. Is that true?â
When Jiang Cheng heard the word âSisheâ, his interest was immediately piqued.
âOf course itâs true. Itâs our boss,â Hou Fei immediately replied loudly.
This matter had already spread, so there was nothing to hide.
âReally? Itâs your boss? His name is Chen Qiyue, right? Hey, Chen Qiyue, say something. Letâs get to know each other. My name is Jiang Cheng!â
Jiang Cheng shouted excitedly, but Chen Qiyue ignored him.
Or rather, he heard the shouts outside, but he had already entered a magical realm and was constantly studying in his brain. Why would he come out and chat with them?
âHey, did your boss faint? Why isnât he saying anything?â Jiang Cheng waited for a while, but Chen Qiyue still didnât answer. He continued to shout at Hou Fei and Wen Xiangqin.
âl donât know. He shouldnât have fainted. I saw black smoke coming out of the cubicle,â Hou Fei replied loudly.
âPerhaps heâs reading and doesnât want to talk to us?â Wen Xiangqin said subconsciously.
Hou Fei:
Needless to say, it was really possible!
Jiang Cheng: ??
âIt canât be, right? How can anyone read despite such a painful purification?
Iâm about to die from the pain. Itâs sixty to seventy degrees, right?â Jiang Cheng began to shout, âItâs over, itâs over. Iâm going to be cooked!â
âWhy are you shouting? Itâs not the most uncomfortable now. The pain will increase bit by bit. On the fifth day, it will reach its limit.â
The person in another cubicle had obviously heard their conversation and joined in.
âBrother, what do you mean by reaching the limit in the fifth day?â Hou Fei asked curiously.
âThatâs easy. In other words, the fifth day will be the most painful, but as long as you survive it, the pain later wonât be so intense, right?â Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said while enduring the pain.
âYes and no. The pain later on will be even more intense. However, after the fifth day, your bodies will begin to undergo basic changes. Your bodies will be stronger and your resistance will be stronger. Thatâs why you wonât feel so much pain.â
Hearing that personâs answer, everyone, including Jiang Cheng, came to a realization.
Not to mention them, even the people in the surrounding cubicles came to a realization when they heard this.
After a while, they began to join the chat.
âIs it true that someone scored full marks for Sisheâs pre-selection training?â âOf course itâs true!â
âHeâs so powerful! Itâs said that once he passes the first few rounds, he will have a chance to go to the special selection later, right?â
At this point, Hou Fei immediately puffed out his chest and began to introduce him. âItâs not that thereâs a chance, but he can definitely go! Otherwise, the Special Dragon Group will be blind.â
As soon as he said this, the candidates in the cubicle that could hear Hou Feiâs words laughed together.
âHowever, even if you participate in the special selection, you might not be able to become the new Branch Master, right?â someone asked.
âThat might not be the case, but what if?â Wen Xiangqin smiled.
âIf you really become the Branch Master of a new branch, donât forget me,â Jiang Cheng said shamelessly.
âThatâs right, thatâs right. Donât forget each other!â
For a moment, the tension in the Marrow Cleansing Pond was actually gone. Instead, the atmosphere became harmonious.
A smile appeared on Chen Qiyueâs face, but his eyes were still closed.
If anyone could see him in his cubicle, they would definitely be shocked.
A suction force rippled around his body, like a small tornado. Countless pools of water kept fusing into his body.
Below his cubicle, there was also an endless stream of water entering this cubicle for him to absorb.
The black smoke above his head was also the thickest. It kept floating.
One could clearly see that Chen Qiyueâs skin was constantly fluctuating, and it was already in a different state at the beginning.
His skin seemed to be constantly turning white and becoming stronger.
Time passed day by day.
In the Marrow Cleansing Pond, they were still discussing animatedly at first. They chatted loudly together and then ate the food sent in.
However, later on, the voices became fewer and fewer. What appeared were their low roars and painful screams.
Previously, because they had started to speak, some people who could not take it anymore held back their shouts and stayed in the Marrow Cleansing Pond for a longer time.
However, in the end, they could not help but start shouting.
Such shouts seemed to be contagious, spreading to the cubicles one after another.
However, Chen Qiyueâs cubicle was still silent.
The other cubicles would receive food every day.
However, at the door of Chen Qiyueâs cubicle, the waiter who brought the food in saw the situation in his cubicle and immediately reported it.
Naturally, the Branch Masters of all eight branches came in to check on the situation. Qin Zhe was among them.
âThis, how did this happen? Heâs absorbing it so quickly!â Chenlongs Branch Master looked at Chen Qiyueâs cubicle in surprise.
âIf this continues, more than half of the energy accumulated in the Marrow Cleansing Pond over the years might be absorbed by him,â Branch Master Haizhu said indifferently.
âThe Marrow Cleansing Pond is originally for geniuses to improve. Wouldnât it be good to let them improve a little more and produce a new branch?â Qin Zhe looked at Chen Qiyue with a smile, his eyes sparkling.
As expected of the person he had taken a fancy to. He was actually so awesome.
âAre you really sure that he can light up a new branch of the Zodiac Diagram?â Chouniuâs leader looked at Qin Zhe seriously.
âItâs not that there were no geniuses who appeared before, but even if you entered the special selection, you were the only one who can really light up the
Zodiac Diagram.â
Chouniuâs words were very simple. Not all geniuses could light up the branch zodiac diagram with strength.
Qin Zhe shrugged. âl donât know either. When I saw him, I felt that he could start a new branch.â
âPrediction?â The rabbit looked at Qin Zhe curiously. Qin Zhe shook his head. âNo, itâs just a feeling. Itâs not foresight.â
Upon hearing Qin Zheâs words, the others fell silent.
On the other hand, Weiyang, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, âNo matter what, the selection rules we set are here. As long as he can pass the selection, we should let him try.â
âAs for whether he succeeds or not, that will depend on himself. Itâs really not simple to be able to stay here for so long without changing his expression and even absorb more Marrow Cleansing Liquid than others.â
Weiyangs words made everyone nod.
After all, Chen Qiyue was someone who could get full marks in the pre-selection training.
Such a person was enough to make them think highly of him.
Chen Qiyue, who was absorbing the water with his eyes closed, actually âsawâ the eight people standing outside his cubicle very clearly.
Rather than looking, it was more like sensing.
Chen Qiyue realized that although he was in his brain, he could still see the outside world besides seeing the situation in his body clearly.
One had to know that his eyes were closed!
