186: Chapter 186: Dark Guard Awakens the Holy Body (I)

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile. He then ignored Ling Ying and the others who were closing their eyes and digesting the news in the main hall. He waved his hand, absorbed a spirit fruit, and slowly began to savor it.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ling Ying and the others slowly opened their eyes, then stood up one after another, respectfully reporting to Ling Feng, who was seated in the main position.

“Reporting to the Family Head, we have all mastered the information in our minds.”

Upon hearing Ling Ying's report, Ling Feng immediately brightened up and quickly commanded,

“Since that is the case, all of you shall immediately consume the Medicinal Pills I just gave you and Awaken your respective Peerless Sacred Physiques.”

After receiving Ling Feng's command, Ling Ying and the other twelve young dark guards in the main hall all nodded and responded respectfully,

“Yes, Family Head.”

Then, they each found a spot in the main hall, sat cross-legged, and carefully took out the small white porcelain bottle Ling Feng had just given them, which contained Heaven-Defying divine objects. After taking out the Medicinal Pill, they took a deep breath and swallowed it directly.

As the Medicinal Pill entered their mouths, it continuously transformed into powerful, boundless energy that surged towards their Meridians and bodies.

At the same time, Ling Feng, who was seated in the main position in the hall, saw Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards all take out and consume the Medicinal Pills. He immediately instructed the System in his mind,

“System, shield the Heavenly Secrets of their thirteen Sacred Physique Awakenings. Do not allow any anomalies to occur, otherwise, the Ling Family might become the target of public criticism.”

“This concealment of Heavenly Secrets and shielding of anomalies will cost seven million Family Luck points. Host, do you confirm its use?”

“Use it, use it.”

Hearing the System's response in his mind, Ling Feng couldn't help but confirm with a helpless sigh.

“Alright, Host.”

“Seven million Family Luck points have been deducted. The System will conceal the Heavenly Secrets when they successfully Awaken their Sacred Physiques, nipping any resulting anomalies in the bud.”

“Withdraw.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately exited the System and gazed at Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards in the main hall. Although items from the System were always exquisite, he had truly never seen so many people Awaken at the same time.

Once these individuals successfully Awakened, they would become the Family's foundation in the future. If they failed, not only would the Family lose a dark guard who was absolutely loyal, but more importantly, it would lose a Heaven-Defying Divine Pill that could guarantee a one hundred percent Sacred Physique Awakening. This made Ling Feng even more cautious.

Just as Ling Feng's eyes were constantly sweeping over everyone, he saw one of the young dark guards, due to the overly powerful and domineering Medicinal Pill energy within him, could no longer bear it and let out a soft groan.

“Ah…”

Subsequently, the other young dark guards also successively let out low cries of agony.

However, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had discovered a new continent. His eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.

Following his gaze, he saw Ling Ying and a young dark guard not far from him. At this moment, Ling Ying and the young dark guard beside him were drenched in sweat and their brows were tightly furrowed due to the intense pain caused by the powerful energy from the Medicinal Pill constantly circulating within their bodies. They were biting their lips so hard that they broke, and blood flowed freely, yet both endured, refusing to let out any cries of pain.

Ling Feng had long known about the pain everyone was suffering, and there were even explanations of this in the information he had just given them. This was something Ling Feng could not help them with; everything depended on themselves.

After all, the Martial Dao was inherently a struggle against Heaven, against Earth, against others, going against the natural order. If they couldn't even endure this much pain, then even with a Peerless Physique like a Sacred Physique, their Martial Dao path would definitely not be long.

Suddenly, just as Ling Feng was very pleased with Ling Ying and the young dark guard not far from him, everyone in the main hall was enveloped in a burst of brilliant light—some golden, some white, some blue, some purple, some black, and even some blood-red.

Different colored lights directly emanated from everyone's bodies in the main hall, instantly engulfing their entire cross-legged figures.

For a moment, the entire main hall, illuminated by the thirteen energy light clusters of various colors, became vibrant and breathtakingly beautiful.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but murmur with emotion,

“I didn't expect thirteen people Awakening their Sacred Physiques at the same time could create such a spectacle. Thankfully, I had the System conceal their Heavenly Secrets beforehand, otherwise, with these anomalies appearing, it would likely attract the attention of many old monsters.”

“It seems that seven million Family Luck points were well spent.”

...Ling Feng, who had been constantly observing the situation of Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards, after a careful observation, found that he couldn't discern what changes were occurring within these colorful energy light clusters.

His role as Protector had now completely lost its meaning.

Seeing this, Ling Feng no longer paid attention to Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards within the various colored energy light clusters. He sat directly in the main seat, closed his eyes to rest, and quietly awaited the Awakening of Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards... One hour later.

“Boom... Boom...”

A low rumble instantly echoed through the main hall.

In an instant, Ling Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was startled awake. His eyes quickly swept across the entire main hall, wanting to know immediately where the rumbling sound came from.

“Crack... Crack...”

“Crack...”

Just then, cracks appeared on the colorful energy light clusters that had enveloped Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards, and they continued to spread outwards.

In a short while, the cracks covered the entire energy light clusters.

“Break... Break...”

“Break for me!”

...Suddenly, the Aura of the energy light clusters greatly intensified, and light shot out through the cracks on the energy light clusters, as powerful and inspiring voices directly rang out.

The energy light clusters that had enveloped Ling Ying and the twelve young dark guards shattered in response...
