The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1229 - 1228: Desert Survival

The scene on the ground appeared directly in front of Tang Rao, who repeatedly marveled at the power of Wu Suowei's high-tech."Choose the first one, it's simple."

Tang Rao chose the pain test.

This was a test without danger. Could it be more painful than the Bone Marrow Cleansing? Tang Rao could endure such pain several times over. What could Wu Suowei's side count as?

"Pain test."

After Tang Rao's choice was announced, the entire environment of the Practice Room changed. It was no longer a setting where one could see right through to the ground below, but now Tang Rao found himself inside an ancient house. He didn't need to know where this place was; he only knew he was here purely to complete the task.

"This is a wooden barrel. To enhance your power, the master left an ancestral Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill for you. You must put this pill in the wooden barrel. The duration of your bath will determine the degree of bone marrow cleansing. If you don't pass the first stage, you will not be eligible to continue."

Every stage was accompanied by a notification. Such a considerate place moved Tang Rao to tears.

Why was it a Bone Marrow Cleansing?

Wasn't Tang Rao's aptitude and the thoroughness of his Bone Marrow Cleansing supposed to be the best?

Thinking this, Tang Rao still followed the instructions.

The water in the wooden barrel automatically filled and drained, changing by itself. With this, Tang Rao could save a lot of effort in calculating the time he spent in the barrel.

Looking at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill placed on the shelf beside the barrel, Tang Rao couldn't help but feel excited.

He just didn't know whether the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill left for him by Wu Suowei was better, or the one Tang Rao concocted himself was more reliable.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill Wu Suowei gave Tang Rao was unlike any elixir pills he had seen before.

The triangular pill left Tang Rao utterly baffled.

But there was nothing he could do about it now; he tossed the pill in, then jumped straight into the water.

An unprecedented warmth made Tang Rao let out a comfortable gurgle.

But the good times didn't last long. As soon as Tang Rao got in, he felt something was amiss.

Someone once asked whether it would hurt more to be bitten by a shark or an alligator. Tang Rao might have called that person an idiot: who would be dumb enough to get bitten by a shark and then an alligator?

Just like now, even knowing he'd face severe pain after jumping in the water, Tang Rao still took the plunge.

This kind of fearless spirit was worthy of being lauded by everyone in the Divine Realm.

"Ah, Dad, my whole body is being bitten by sharks. No, I want to get out! Ah, the pain is making me bleed; I quit, I don't want to play anymore."

Tang Rao, wearing just a pair of shorts, wanted to jump out, but it was too late to say anything now.

Programs are programs. Once Wu Suowei casually changes a little bit, they transform.

Just as Tang Rao never imagined the wooden barrel would produce Mystic Iron handcuffs and shackles, binding him directly inside the barrel.

This kind of despair was not something he wished to experience again.

This was only the first stage, and he already wanted to give up. It would be strange if Tang Rao could pass the later stages.

He hoped Wu Suowei would not tamper with things later on, allowing Tang Rao to happily get through the entire process.

"The master said you can't come out until this pill is fully absorbed, or you would waste his efforts."

The number of times an unfamiliar voice, coming from who knows where, spoke to Tang Rao had become a habit by now.

"I have to absorb everything in here; Dad is already dying of pain, okay?"

No matter how much he yelled, the pain did not lessen in the slightest. Tang Rao's spiritual power weakened, and he knew he was on the brink of fainting.

Once he fainted, things would be better; once unconscious, he wouldn't know what pain was.

As Tang Rao was counting his blessings, a slap landed on him.

"The master said, before seeing results from the Bone Marrow Cleansing, you can't sleep."

The speed was so fast that Tang Rao didn't even know what hit him.

"Why can't I sleep? Are you the one going through the stages, or am I? Are you the one training, or am I? Stop sticking your nose into my business."

Tang Rao went as far as to threaten a possible imaginary little kid.

After reprimanding the little kid, Tang Rao felt his spirit suddenly improve.

With a better spirit, when his bones cracked and broke, and his whole body felt as though it were beaten by a sledgehammer, Tang Rao began to question life.

Though painful, there were results.

After multiple cleansings, Tang Rao could still wash out water like black mud, proving that his previous times in the Land of Immortals were far from thorough.

No wonder Wu Suowei looked down on Tang Rao, just like disdaining a dog.

With so much filth expelled, every pore of his body was shouting in comfort.

"Though it's comfortable, damn it, I still hurt all over."

Tang Rao was very satisfied with his body's transformation. Just as Wu Suowei had previously said there was nothing Tang Rao could do and that he couldn't take a beating, now all of Tang Rao's bones seemed completely restructured. The overall lightness was a mystery, and his meridians at least three times thicker than before.

With this discovery, the pain seemed fairly insignificant.

"Bone Marrow Cleansing completed; Congratulations, you passed the first stage."

The little kid announced to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao, sticky all over, got some soap and washed himself until fragrant, then changed into new clothes before stepping out.

"So now I'm set for the second stage?"

He wished time would fly faster so he could swiftly finish all the stages ahead.

"Yes, it's now the second stage."

An option appeared in front of Tang Rao once more.

The second stage was an endurance test.

Having already been tested once, Tang Rao thought there shouldn't be too much of an issue.

He decisively pressed the button, and soon, he lived a life more regretful than entering the first stage.

The endurance test was in the desert.

A vast desert with not a soul to be seen, no oasis or water source, and some sand even blew into Tang Rao's eyes as the wind raised it.

"You need to live alone in the desert for ten days. There are predators in the desert you have never seen before. As with the first stage, if you can't resist those things, you can't proceed to the next stage."

With no water, no food, scorching weather, and such harsh conditions, concentrating on finding dangers was quite a challenge for Tang Rao.

"Got it, you're so verbose."

Tang Rao didn't want to hear the little kid continue prattling on.

Anyway, what should come will come; soldiers will batter the gates, floods will rush to cover earth and soil.

Surviving until the end of ten days would equate to victory for Tang Rao.

Such a wide desert couldn't possibly be without a house, right? Yes, no house in the desert, but I've got one.

Tang Rao directly took out a single-person room from his Space Ring and then a pile of things, treating it as his food supply for the next ten days.

Wu Suowei never mentioned he couldn't bring supplies in, so this didn't count as Tang Rao cheating.
