"Wind, when I was still the Creator God, the Lord of the Immortal Realm Steven Kent and the Sovereign of the Underworld Ford Gale were both infatuated with me. Although my body has vanished, they also know about the Nine Rainbow Divine Pills. The three of us were once a symbiotic entity, and the resurrection of my soul will surely alarm them. Wind, I know this is hard for you, but you must leave here and find the nine elemental powers I left behind in the mortal world. Only then can you stand against them. Otherwise, with their strength, they could easily kill you and seize my soul..."
I have no choice but to face reality. I know that my ultimate enemies are already beyond my comprehension. Evan Grant is already my woman, and I will never let anyone take my woman away!
However, before that, I must continuously undergo Evan Grant's transformation until she believes I can fully withstand the nine elemental powers.
Heh, for a young and vigorous man, this kind of transformation is exactly what I desire.
"Gavin Ford!" Suddenly, a voice rang in my ear. I turned my head and saw that Smart Alec had woken up at some point. His gaze was very strange, as if he didn't recognize me, sizing me up from head to toe.
"Old man, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Gavin Ford, you've changed!" Smart Alec said in a low voice, "But I can't say exactly how you've changed, I just feel that you're completely different from yesterday."
I smiled and didn't answer.
Heh, the power of love, the nourishment of Evan Grant—I think it's hard not to change.
But unlike usual, Smart Alec didn't chatter on. He sat there in silence, his eyes a bit dazed.
The bugle sounded, the iron door opened, and Smart Alec and I walked out of the stone house.
……
Day after day passed. Carter still played the role of the cold-faced king, constantly drilling those prisoners. As the newly appointed captain, I was under the guards' watch, endlessly striking the stone cave that Carter had made.
During the day, I threw ten thousand punches; at night, I enjoyed Evan Grant's transformation in the Jade Fragrance Cave. The time for the final battle drew closer and closer, but I was completely unaware. To me, enjoying every moment of life was the most important thing!
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed. On this day, I was practicing my punches.
Now, with ten thousand punches a day, I could hit the stone cave with perfect accuracy. And thanks to Evan Grant's transformation of my body, my punches grew stronger and stronger, and cracks even began to appear in that huge rock.
As I was striking the stone, Carter quietly approached me from behind. With a thunderous command from the guard, I instinctively stood straight in front of the stone. In fact, when Carter got close, my spiritual sense had already alerted me. But according to the soldiers' code, without an officer's order, you must never stop your work. Carter is a soldier, and an outstanding one at that. He likes soldiers who follow the code, because he himself is a soldier who abides by every rule and regulation.
"At ease!" Carter waved for the guard to leave, then looked at me and at the huge stone.
After a while, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, not bad. Gavin Ford, my men tell me you can throw ten thousand punches with perfect accuracy. That shows you're really putting your heart into it!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to the huge stone and gently stroked the cracks on its surface.
I clearly saw Carter's expression change. His hand paused on the stone, and he stood there in a daze for a long time without speaking. I knew why he was stunned.
Evan Grant's transformation of my body was not done by force. That method, though fast, would greatly limit my future potential. My future enemies are the lords of the Immortal and Underworld realms, so I must have the power to stand against them. Therefore, Evan Grant used the most complicated method—she transformed my body into a vessel, one that could contain the nine elemental powers. In other words, she remodeled my body according to the structure of this world, so that once the transformation was complete, my body could contain the entire world.
During the more than twenty days of transformation, I gradually absorbed her power of creation. Though slow, it was very solid. So with every punch I threw, there was a trace of immortal energy in my strength. According to Evan Grant, Carter's skills had already reached the level of a top expert, so he should be able to sense the difference in my punches.
Sure enough, after being surprised for a while, Carter suddenly turned to look at me, sizing me up and muttering to himself, "Could what they said be true?"
I was also taken aback and blurted out, "Sorry, sir, I didn't catch what you just said!"
Realizing my slip, Carter's expression turned stern and he said in a deep voice, "It's none of your business, don't ask!" After speaking, his eyes showed a hint of envy as he glanced at the huge stone behind me, then turned to me and said, "Gavin Ford, how long have you been on the island?"
These days, all I remembered was my passionate nights with Evan Grant; I had no idea how much time had passed. When Carter asked, I hesitated and replied, "Sir, it's been a little over twenty days, I think."
