Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 184: A painful training

Despite the authoritative tone, the female voice was soft and sweet, but cold at the same time. Liu Yang imagined that the owner of the voice was a woman, but he did not know who she is or where she is.

The only thing Liu Yang knew was that this woman was speaking inside his mind.

(Who are you?) Liu Yang commented mentally. He was scared and curious about the woman who was talking to him mentally.

(It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is your current situation. If you want a breakthrough in your technique. This is the best time possible, you just need to endure this pain) The woman seemed to know the secrets about the technique when she said that.

(Endure the pain? My bones are already melting and my organs almost failing, I can die at any moment. How can I endure any longer ??) Liu Yang did not know if he was laughing or crying about this situation.

His body was already completely burned, from the neck to the feet, only his head was still whole. The inside of his body was even worse, the flames penetrated his bones and burned him internally.

(Just hold on. Your little mouse will help you in this situation) The voice echoed again. Liu Yang finally realized whose voice it was.

(So you finally woke up ...) Liu Yang thought. He never imagined that plants would wake up in such a situation.

(If you want to refuse my proposal you can, but you will miss a great chance of getting a breakthrough)

(How long do I need to endure before I have the breakthrough?) Liu Yang could only endure another minute before his organs were burned and he died.

(One week.) The woman's indifferent voice caused Liu Yang to want to hit her. This was very cruel to him.

(One week ??? !!! In the next few minutes, I can already die, let alone a week. My body may have already turned to ashes by the fire!!) Liu Yang shouted back. He was irritated by the woman's suggestion.

(You forgot what you have? You should already know who I am, right? There are still a few drops of the strengthening liquid left with me. You had asked your little mouse to give it to you, right? This will help you keep your body for a week. But whether you get the breakthrough or not, it will depend only on you)

(What do you want in return? You shouldn't have talked to me just to help me, right?)

(We will talk about it after you go through this challenge. If you die, our conversation will have no meaning)

(Okay Little One, can you open a portal and put a few drops of the strengthening liquid inside my mouth?)

(Yes master) Little One was nervous, she didn't know if she was going to miss the amount or not.

(Quickly ... My mind is almost blacking out ... My organs are already failing ...) No matter how resistant Liu Yang's physical body was, being burned by the flames of a Great Mage was no joke. Even more, because it was burned for a great amount of time.

(Yes master !!!!) Little One took a deep breath before closing her eyes and channeling her power. A small portal opened and she tried to pour some of the liquid, but because of her small shaking hands. Almost all of the liquid was spilled into the portal.

Liu Yang felt a hot thing entering his mouth, he couldn't resist and swallowed it all quickly. But he soon realized that there was something wrong. Little One threw a large amount of liquid.

(Little One ... You ...) Liu Yang was shocked by this. He didn't know what to do at the moment, his body could explode because of the large amount of energy inside.

(Master I) Little One was very worried about her mistake. She already had tears in her eyes.

(You did well. You don't have to worry about that.) The woman inside comforted Little One.

(But the master may die because of the large amount of energy)

(Don't worry. That was necessary. If I wanted to help him most quickly, I would have thrown the liquid. I want him to suffer a little for hurting my friend) The woman was referring to another plant that Liu Yang punctured.

(...) Little One did not know what to say at that moment. She could only pray that Liu Yang wouldn't get hurt too much.

"Ahh !!!!" Liu Yang screamed in pain as the giant amount of energy entered and spread through his body. The pain of healing and burning at the same time was insane.

(Don't refine that energy. Let it completely invade your body and heal your wounds) The voice echoed again.

Liu Yang could only clench his teeth and endure the pain. Because of the large amount of energy, several parts of his body were torn and red blood with black spots began to leak.

Unlike before, when Liu Yang showered and drank the Thousand Years Body Strengthening Liquid, he had meditated and refined the energy. This greatly reduced his pain and the process was smoother.

Now, Liu Yang had to let the violent energy run through his body. He felt like he was a small wooden boat in a big storm on the open sea. The inside of his body was completely broken and melt.

(Master, you need to stay awake !!! Don't fall asleep !!!) Little One tried her best to keep Liu Yang awake. If he sleeps, he could die.

(Little girl, you can leave it the way it is. His body needs to transform slowly. Whether it is awake or not, it makes no difference. His body is no longer in danger of dying. It just needs to endure the pain of one way or the other. These black flames will make him much stronger than before)

(Oh ... But I'm still worried about the master. He's in a lot of pain, besides, he's also worried about that blood race woman. If he doesn't come back soon, she'll be in great danger) Little One finally calmed down after hearing the woman's words in front of her, but she was still worried about Liu Yang.

(That woman? She'll be fine. The other side wants something very important inside this boy's body, she won't die easily)

(I see)

(Just keep looking at your perverted master. I need to sleep, don't wake me up so soon) The woman's body shone before she appeared on the bed. It has now recovered its original form, the other plant was still sleeping soundly.

(You say that, but you always looked at the master sleeping with his women and preventing me from looking at you saying that this was an adult subject and not a child subject) Little One complained. She always saw the woman looking at Liu Yang doing activities with her women. But Little One was prevented from looking because she was still a small child.

(Master, hold on) Little One encouraged Liu Yang.

(Little One, I'm going to get some sleep. Wake me up when the time comes ...) Liu Yang's mind was already exhausted.

As the three members of the blood race were mentally and physically exhausted, Liu Yang was also in the same situation, or worse than the three. Whenever Liu Yang rested inside the tent, he never slept, as he feared that the three members of the blood race could capture him during the race. So he never slept at all during the entire week.

(Yes master. Little One will watch over the master) Little One saw the efforts that Liu Yang made throughout the week.

Liu Yang's mind went blank and he passed out. His body had already fallen after Oberon was burned to death in the flame. Currently, it was surrounded by a large black flame that seemed to have no end.

The inside of his body was going through a great intense battle. The black flames burned his bones and internal organs while the power of the Thousand Years Body Strengthening Liquid was healing the wounds with great speed.

The burned parts were being renewed quickly, but the flames had the same speed in burning again. This cycle that healed and burned seemed endless.

Liu Yang could not see his situation, so he did not know that his body was being carried by the ants to the ground. Because of the flames, the ants were also being burned, but due to the large quantity. It didn't take long for Liu Yang to be taken.

Liu Yang's body was taken off the pillar and placed in the desert sand before a hole appeared and he started to sink into the sand. It looks like someone was taking Liu Yang's body somewhere on the bottom of the sand.

Any kind of sign of struggle or confrontation was erased by the ants. They devoured the blood, the weapons, the armor, everything that was left by Liu Yang and the three members of the blood race was devoured by the ants. It looked like someone was ordering the ants to do this.

The body sank to several hundred of meters at the bottom of the golden desert sand before reaching a large hole underground.
