Apotheosis

A look of suspicion came over Elder Celia when she saw how Zen agreed with them so easily.

But she was well aware of her son's strength. Among the younger generation of the Nine Li race, save for Romeo, Elsa, and several other powerful warriors, no one was a match for Doran.

Giacomo didn't agree with Romeo's suggestion—he thought there was no real need to fight Doran.

But since Zen agreed so quickly, Giacomo had nothing left to say.

A vast wasteland lay on the other side of the Cave of Wildness. This temporary battle had immediately attracted the attention of many.

"Alas! Alas! Who is Doran fighting?" a woman with bangs asked curiously.

She definitely had yet to hit twenty years old and had a beautiful face framed by perfectly neat bangs. Her bright eyes stared at Zen who wasn't standing too far away.

"Elsa, you came out too?" Romeo took a glance at her.

Elsa was at the top of the mid-rank Wild Gods in the Nine Li race. While her blood wasn't all that pure, it had undergone some special change, making it very rare.

"I heard a ruckus from outside. Who is that young man? I've never seen him before," Elsa commented.

Romeo smiled faintly as he said, "I told you about him a few days ago. That's Zen—he saved my life."

"Oh, so that's him! How interesting. According to what you said, he is quite a magical one. Doesn't Doran have to lose this time?" she asked further.

"I guess so. We can't really know until the results later," Romeo answered with a shrug.

Under the crowd's gaze, Doran uttered the word 'grow', making his body expand rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a giant that stood over ten thousand feet tall. Then, he said in a loud voice, "It's your turn, little guy!"

In Doran's eyes, Zen only had a fraction of the Wild God Power. Even if he activated it, he could only grow up to about a thousand feet tall—he was still the "little guy" before Doran.

But Zen had no intention to fight seriously, as he did not want to waste his time dealing with Doran.

"There's no need. To deal with you, I don't need to activate this Wild God Power..."

As he stood on the ground, Zen loo

's body as they infiltrated and pervaded it.

The Wild God Power filled every inch of his bones, flesh, and hair.

Six days later...

Baldwin asked, "Elder Giacomo, Zen has absorbed nearly two million wild bones. Must he really continue?"

Such an amount was already absurdly great for a low-rank Wild God.

If other warriors absorbed twenty or thirty thousand pieces of wild bones, a sign of Body Tribulations would sure to come. But Zen merely continued absorbing the Wild God Power as though his body was a bottomless pit.

"Go on!" Giacomo smiled cunningly.

When the old man said that he would offer Zen ten shares of blood wild bones, he was worried that it would be too much for the boy. But now, it was made clear that his worries were totally unnecessary.

The guy's physical condition was insanely good.

Hearing what Giacomo said, Baldwin held no scruples any longer. Since Zen obviously had such a great appetite, Baldwin simply asked several more people to extract the power of wild bones for him.

Once again, a tremendous amount of wild bones were poured into the Cave of Wildness for Zen to absorb.

But after another six days, Zen had managed to absorb another two million more wild bones, showing no intention to stop in the slightest.

By now, Giacomo had grown a little impatient. Wild bones were nothing to the Nine Li race, but it was till surprising to them that Zen's absorption was rather excessive.
