Absorbing battle qi is the first step, which Wu Yu has already accomplished. The next step is to allow this battle qi to flow freely within his body, which is what Wu Yu is currently working hard to do.

Although the meridians strengthened by the medicine could withstand the impact of battle qi, Wu Yu still felt a slight stinging and tingling sensation. He could only get used to this process gradually through his body.

Then, the final step can be taken: after condensing a vortex of battle qi in the lower dantian of his body, Wu Yu can become a legendary extraordinary being in one fell swoop.

Wu Yu never imagined that he would have the opportunity to cross the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary in this lifetime.

However, these are not things to consider now. Wu Yu needs to get himself into top condition to deal with any unexpected situations that may occur tomorrow.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen. If it really escalates to the point where force needs to be used, the scene will definitely be very ugly.

After finishing his daily cultivation, Wu Yu drifted off to sleep with a mind full of thoughts.

···

The next day, Wu Yu woke up naturally, but the fact that Violet hadn't woken him up gave him a bad feeling.

Wu Yu, who had just woken up, didn't try to think about what to do to make himself happy like he used to, but quickly got out of bed.

Wu Yu looked at Layton next to him. There was no one on the bed, but there was a piece of paper on it. The place where Layton kept his luggage was also empty.

Wu Yu picked up the paper with a sullen face and quickly glanced through it.

"I'm sorry, Wu Yu. Please forgive us for going to steal the treasure with Uncle Manan without consulting you. Don't worry, Uncle Manan told us about their treasure-stealing plan yesterday, and Brother Layton also thinks the risk is minimal. We'll be back in about three days. Please wait for our good news in the village. As compensation, I'll give you all of my share of the treasure."

"Damn it." Wu Yu couldn't help but swear. After reading the note, he immediately crumpled it into a ball in his rage. He stared intently at his fist holding the ball of paper, his face terribly gloomy.
