Gong Wu was more than embarrassed he was completely ashamed of his pathetic actions.
Crying in a corner how unbefitting of him but the despair was simply too much for his fragile mind to handle.
He has been through so much with all his deaths and reincarnations it was a roller coaster of emotions that he had enough of.
Always trying his best to survive then the next minute having to accept his death so many times over was taking a serious toll on his psyche.
"That is still no excuse for crying like a pathetic baby I have to retain unshakable willpower,"
Which was easier said than done I mean think about it could you maintain your composure in the face of death not once but four times?
It was simply impossible for a normal human mind to take it's honestly surprising he hasn't broken down and cried his eyes out by now.
Gong Wu would have given up and killed himself to start over again if it wasn't for this fruit that was just delivered to him by that random guy.
It just so happened he needed a huge amount of rich essence Qi to successfully practice the "Flesh Forging Metamorphic art," and with the pitiful amount of Qi he has, there was no way he could do it without dying.
However, the Dharmic Bodhi fruit has changed that, now he just might be able to live and if his special constitution works the way he thinks it does his chances of success may be a little higher.
Gong Wu strode over to the pile of gifts he received when he first arrived and began devouring everything including all the pills and herbs that were in the storage bag he stole.
He first ate the monster meat after that all the spirit herbs then the pills.
It took Gong Wu an hour to eat everything but his stomach just couldn't keep up with his crazy eating.
Thankfully his thick porous redbones helped by turning them into large amounts of blood Qi that filled up his body turning his skin bright pink and his body to admit hot steam.
Gong Wu wasn't in good shape right now his bones did help aid in digestion but they couldn't get rid of everything in his stomach.
Instead, it was turned into large stored of fat turning Gong Wu into a fiery meatball that was breathing wildly with each breath sounding like a roar of thunder.
An unstable aura erupted from the mass of flesh Gong Wu had become launching itself toward the mystical fruit and swallowing it whole.
Just so everyone knows what Gong Wu is doing is impossible for anyone else if they tried it, they would end up popping their stomachs open from the sheer quantity of food being pilled into their guts.
That is to say, if they didn't die from the massive influx of dense blood Qi that would surge into their bodies.
Gong Wu's special constitution was the only thing that is helping him live but it was still crazy.
The exorbitant amounts of syrupy blood Qi were ravaging his meridians causing massive internal injuries but there was a plus side.
All the impurities that were blocking his meridians were forced out all at once causing Gong Wu's cultivation to skyrocket all the way from the first to the ninth layer of the body-tempering realm.
However, that didn't mean Gong Wu was safe in fact Gong Wu was gonna die if he didn't get rid of all that raw power.
It definitely didn't help that Gong Wu just added that spirit fruit into the mix while all that power was ripping apart his insides.
Gong Wu waited for something to happen but after several minutes there was still no reaction.
"What's...going...on!"
Gong Wu who could hardly breathe was having great difficulty speaking and the intense pain caused by the pressure of his blood Qi expanding his meridians wasn't helping but as he huffed and puffed that's when it happened.
*Boom*
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
An ear-numbing boom shook the room followed by Gong Wu's howling cry.
The fruit had taken a while to reach his stomach and even longer to digest but as soon as it was all the collected essence Qi was released pouring into Gong Wu's already overtaxed meridians.
If it was anyone else this would have caused their meridians to explode but thanks to Gong Wu's bones helped to lessen the pressure by circulating the dense essence Qi.
This didn't however, lessen Gong Wu's pain it only seemed to make things worse causing poor Gong Wu to thrash around wildly breaking everything in the room.
The heat produced by the circulating blood Qi scorched the walls and Gong Wu's heavy body splintered the floor.
*Bleh*
Gong Wu then began vomiting an inky sludge onto the floor making the destroyed room reek of death and filth, this also made Gong Wu who was already covered in a layer of black gunk even filthier.
"Make it stop!!!"
He continued to howl like a feral beast sending shockwaves of pure heat slamming into the walls causing them to crack only to fall and then collapse onto the slime-covered ground.
'I'm gonna die this is too much what was I thinking!?'
Gong Wu knew he was done for and began to question everything he's ever done until he recalled the reason he began this suicidal process.
"The Flesh Forging Metamorphic art!!!"
Gong Wu used all his strength to sit in a lotus position and began cultivating the sect leader's technique.
Then, he concentrated and stimulated his blood Qi and rapidly consumed his essence Qi as it was recorded in the jade slip.
That special operation method flushed all the built-up Qi that was coursing through his meridians causing the once bulging veins to suddenly shrink.
At that moment a ball of fire formed in his chest crazily burning all the Qi in his body causing it to shrivel like burning wood with flames of blood Qi spewing from all corners of his dried-up body.
Gong Wu did not display any reaction to the breakdown of his body instead he remained in a meditative position like an old Buddhist monk unwavering in the face of death.
However, this was only the beginning of the "Flesh Forging Metamorphic art," all he was doing was fueling the process, right now was when it truly began.
Gong Wu drew in a deep breath as the mysteries of his body relieved themselves to him it was then Gong Wu began operating the flesh forging portion of the technique refining his flesh.
First, his organs, then his muscles, and even his skin was tempered in the incredibly thorough body-refining process.
When Gong Wu had reformed his entire physique he then had to finish the technique with one final push.
"Metamorphosis!"
The flames of blood wrapped around Gong Wu in a fiery cocoon forming a furnace of sorts to smelt his newly hardened physique.
This was the metamorphic part of the technique after Gong Wu was done he would be reborn with an indomitable body.
