Chapter Summary
"If you want to become warriors, you naturally need a large sum of money," they said, "because researching this stuff is very expensive." When they delivered the large sum, the two brothers had to sign some responsibility agreements. But if they can't become warriors, the money they paid will never be refunded, and they will become food for higher-level beings. Even if you two brothers pass the test, when the people inside the Fusang Martial Arts Academy want to go up, then your usefulness will ...
"I understand your intentions perfectly well. If I didn't know what you two brothers were capable of, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Among this group, three of you have fought against ferocious beasts in the wild, and one of you is a retired soldier. Your physical abilities are far superior to the others. I specifically kept these for you, so you must cherish them. If you don't make any progress, it means you have no chance left. So, you two must not let me down. You must make a significant improvement tonight so you can level up. There are other good things waiting for you in the future!"
When this person spoke, the same look appeared in his eyes. Actually, these two brothers shouldn't be too happy. They were only absorbing the essence of ordinary people. After they finished absorbing, if they met the standard, one of them would definitely be kept, while the other would definitely not have a good outcome. The other one would be combined with all the level two food and then sent to a higher level for others to absorb. In fact, this is how it works at the Fusang Martial Arts Academy. Everyone has a level. Within a specified time, if you have enough potential, then naturally such a thing will be arranged for you. But if you don't, then sorry, you can only become someone else's food. This is also a law of natural selection.
So, while this sounds disgusting, it's the truth. For example, the two brothers they were about to recruit were originally just ordinary people. They went through countless hardships to become warrior apprentices, reaching their absolute peak. They had no chance of advancing further. Then, the Fusang Martial Arts School recruited them. "If you want to become warriors, you naturally need a large sum of money," they said, "because researching this stuff is very expensive." When they delivered the large sum, the two brothers had to sign some responsibility agreements. For example, only one of them could advance; the other had to sacrifice themselves. This was a rule the Fusang Martial Arts School had established long ago. If anyone went back on their word, then they would be sorry to both brothers—they would both die.
Based on their cultivation method, these people's ascension speed is extremely fast. If they cultivated in the normal way, it would take at least three years to reach their current level. But now it's different. As long as they adopt this method, they can reach the level in almost three months. This is the second time the two brothers have absorbed these menial tasks, so this is their last chance. If they can become warriors, that would be the best. But if they can't become warriors, the money they paid will never be refunded, and they will become food for higher-level beings. This was all agreed upon beforehand, and they are not allowed to go back on their word.
When the Fusang Martial Arts School seeks out such individuals, they are very selective. They wouldn't even consider wealthy or powerful families; they would absolutely refuse to let them in. These powerful families are very influential, and if their descendants knew about this method, the Fusang Martial Arts School would be doomed, possibly even losing everything. However, ordinary poor students are useless; they can't afford the money and therefore can't support the project's continued research. So, these schools specifically target ordinary wealthy students who have some money but lack other methods of fortune-telling. These are the easiest people to earn money from because once they have money, they have all sorts of ideas, and becoming a powerful figure is their strongest desire.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with excitement. During their last absorption, they had made tremendous progress. They had felt somewhat guilty then, as these were living beings, but after that experience, that feeling was gone. Now, all they wanted was for themselves to improve. This wasn't the first time they had achieved such progress; if they could both advance further, their future would be incredibly bright. Although they had sacrificed most of their fortune, if they both became warriors, they could easily earn it back. Of course, this was just their dream; the Fusang Martial Arts School hadn't told them about the downsides of this arrangement.
The Fusang Martial Arts School has recruited a lot of people like this in society by taking advantage of their dreams of becoming strong. However, there is one thing the Fusang Martial Arts School has not told them: this kind of absorption is very harmful to the human body. As long as the absorption time is long, the various tissues of the body will definitely suffer devastating damage. Therefore, a person cannot experience this kind of absorption many times in his/her life.
Another issue is that they are also food, just like these two brothers. How did someone like Yamamoto become strong? He specifically absorbed people like these two brothers. While you two brothers are absorbing others, you also become material for their progress. Even if you two brothers pass the test, when the people inside the Fusang Martial Arts Academy want to go up, then your usefulness will come. Don't be fooled by their brotherly attitude and praise. Whenever their core members need you, they will be there to take you to where Liu Ning and the others are, without any delay. This is the most terrifying thing about the Fusang Martial Arts Academy. They take your money, use your body, and then expect you to thank them. That's their ability.
Through these people's conversations, Liu Ning also learned another terrifying thing. Although there were only about 20 people in Liu Ning's room, there were several other similar rooms around. This meant that they weren't just harming 20 people a night; they were harming hundreds, which equates to hundreds of families. After being absorbed as "material," these people wouldn't die immediately, but they would only have one or two hours to live at most. Once their life force was completely drained, they would be like a lump of mud, too weak to even open their eyes. They could only maintain a conscious will and slowly wait for their lives to end. This was the job they were given here; no wonder no one had ever left…
