Super Devouring Level Up - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Powerful Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boundless lightning energy surged from the Thunder Source Wood.

Jaidon’s energy center appeared to be the entrance to the devouring system. The power of lightning entered his energy center and mysteriously disappeared.

However, it did not completely disappear. Instead, it turned into the experience points required to cultivate the skill ‘Devouring Golden Body’.

Experience points +1!

Experience points +1!

…

The notifications rang out continuously. Staring at the progress bar that kept rising, Jaidon suddenly felt as though he had returned to his previous life where he had once grinded for three days and three nights just to level up.

Seeing the results with his own eyes, he felt excited and proud.

The cultivation of the skill was even more obvious.

Jaidon sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. His breathing gradually aligned with his surroundings.

The most obvious change was that Jaidon’s body had gradually turned bronze.

His originally thin and frail body had become extremely robust, like a ferocious tiger that had just escaped its cage.

A faint dignity hung between his brows. Although it wasn’t strong, it exuded the aura of a champion. If anyone was there to witness it, they would definitely be shocked by his aura.

However, this was only the beginning.

As the bronze color on his body intensified, he looked more and more like a bronze statue.

The surface of his body also became tougher. One could not help but wonder if the strength under his muscles could break all things with a single punch.

As the devouring system increased its absorption rate, the power of lightning from the Thunder Source Wood began to dissipate.

After all, it was just a piece of wood soaked in the power of lightning. No matter how much it contained, there had to be an end to its capacity.

Crack!

Just as Jaidon’s body was about to transform into a bronze body, he ran out of power.

Even when the lightning energy within the Thunder Source Wood was completely sucked dry, he could not make a breakthrough.

“What a pity…”

From Jaidon’s point of view, his experience points were stuck at 99. He was just a little bit away from making a breakthrough.

Jaidon had a premonition that if he had made a breakthrough, his body would have undergone a massive transformation.

Unfortunately, that 1% of experience was like a huge chasm that would be difficult to cross in a short period of time.

“But it’s not completely fruitless.”

He waved his arms. Just his physical strength alone was enough to cause a whistling sound.

He punched the wall!

Bang!

The rock several times harder than ordinary rocks instantly caved in to form a huge dent.

Following that was a loud bang in the secret chamber.

“It’s strong! It’s so strong!”

Jaidon’s eyes lit up. The 40,000 gold coins were worth it!

It was no exaggeration to say that if Trevor dared to appear in front of him again, Jaidon could fight him with his physical strength alone.

Not to mention the use of essence energy unique to martial artists.

The current Jaidon was truly confident in his ability to fight against a Battle Master.

After leaving the secret chamber, Jaidon returned to his private room and continued to wait for the auction to end.

If he could obtain another piece of Thunder Source Wood, he was confident that he would be able to make a breakthrough and gain a complete understanding of the skill.

One had to know that he had not even reached the first stage of ‘Devouring Golden Body’.

The auction was in full swing and many treasures were presented one after another.

However, most of them were of no use to Jaidon. The few useful items were bought by the various influential family clans.

Among them were also people being auctioned.

This world was in an era where the strong enslaved the weak.

Slave trade was nothing unusual.

The eyes of every slave presented on stage had long lost their luster. Even if Jaidon bought them, it would be very difficult for them to recover.

Furthermore, Jaidon had never been a kind person. He couldn’t save so many people.

“Next up is the last item to be auctioned today.”

Everyone fell silent.

In every auction, the final items were always the most sought after.

They wouldn’t be sold for any less than a few hundred thousand gold coins.

Among them, the three great family clans were the first to react, all of them had looks of anticipation on their faces.

The Booker Family sent out Bryson, the Warden Family sent out the eldest son of the clan leader Gage Warden, and the Golden Saber Dojo sent out Marcos, who was nicknamed ‘Silver Saber’. They were the representatives of the three families that had come to participate in the auction.

“I believe everyone is familiar with spiritual herbs. Consuming spiritual herbs can increase a martial artist’s cultivation speed. The effects after refining them into elixirs are even better.”

“That’s right. The last item for auction is a Low-grade spiritual herb!”

Seeing that everyone seemed a bit disappointed, the auctioneer of the Violet Royal Auction House smiled as if she had already expected this. She said slowly, “And the spiritual herb is Level-two!”

Whoosh!

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire crowd went into an uproar.

Those who could attend the auction did not care about Low-grade spiritual herbs, especially when it was a Level-one herb.

And now, everyone was thinking they had heard something wrong. There really was a Level-two herb?

As if to reflect everyone’s thoughts, the beautiful auctioneer smiled and said with certainty, “That’s right, it’s Level-two!”

Many people were shocked.

One had to know that a Level-two spiritual herb was extremely beneficial to a Battle General.

The level of a Battle General was the highest in Green Valley Town. Every further improvement would bring a significant boost to the clans.

If a Level-two spiritual herb was used during a breakthrough, it would provide twice the result with half the effort. It was not something that everyone could ignore.

The three factions exchanged glances with one another. They were determined to get the Level-two herb.

“The starting bid is at 10,000 gold coins!”

“I bid 50,000!” Gage was the first to speak.

Jaidon looked over in surprise.

Gage was a genius second only to Jaidon from before his cultivation was crippled!

Jaidon could sense a faint threat coming from him.

His current cultivation had probably already entered the level of a Battle General!

He was the fully deserving number one genius of Green Valley Town!

No wonder he could represent his elders to participate in this auction. His strength was probably on par with the experts of the older generation.

And he was only 20 years old. His future was limitless.

The three great clans began an intense competition. The others wanted to participate, but they did not have the financial capability to do so.

Jaidon was also extremely interested in this Level-two spiritual herb.

If he could devour this spiritual herb, his cultivation level would probably rise again.

But when he touched his Violet Crystal Card…

There were less than a hundred thousand gold coins left.

According to the market price, a Level-two spiritual herb was worth 500,000 gold coins. That was equivalent to the Booker Family’s annual turnover.

“I’m still too poor…”

Of course, if others knew what Jaidon was thinking, they would probably vomit blood from anger.

A hundred thousand gold coins were equivalent to the entire fortune of a small family. Was that not enough?

In the end, the rich and overbearing Warden Family obtained the Level-two spiritual herb.

They spent 600,000 gold coins.

The auction ended successfully.

When Jaidon walked out of the private room, several gazes were locked onto him.

Bryson and Aidon walked over coincidentally.

When the two of them saw Master Fleck standing beside Jaidon, their hearts shook as they tried to guess Jaidon’s identity.

To be able to get a Level-one alchemist to accompany him, this person must have considerable prestige.

“Please wait!”
