“It’s actually working.” David’s eyes popped open in surprise. He had tried using the energy source on a whim and hadn’t thought it would actually work.

This had surprised greatly, he had been terribly worried about where he would get worldly energy from to strengthen his body and had almost given up hope when he had been struck by that darn lightning.

He had managed to turn the misfortune into fortune. And even now, he had gotten hold of an energy source pure enough to practice the Ancient Body Tempering Technique.

Could it be that all of his bad luck had led to this moment of good luck? David couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

He was pretty excited about the series of good luck. Truly, Vather was his treasure hoard. He hadn’t even had the time yet to sort out the things within Vather and the three heaven realm treasure rings, the amount of wealth within the four storage rings should be massive, even thinking about it made David’s breathing quicken.

He hurriedly put himself together. First, although the energy Stone claimed to be endless, the heaven grade technique wasn’t your normal technique, it was a technique that places emphasis on drawing a massive amount of energy. To the extent, it could dry out an entire mini-world within a month of practice.

The energy source surely might not last that long, which was why David wasn’t too glad about it, and the pain would also increase the higher his attainment in the Ancient Strengthening Technique and that was not something David wished to look forward to. But in order to grow stronger, the pain was slightly worth the price… Right?

Calculating the amount of blood he had left, he figured it would not last a month.

“I need to find a permanent source of blood.” David muttered. The technique destroys his tissue, muscles and bones and then remake them, making them stronger in the process, but it would require one to heal wasting a couple of days sometimes the month and even years at times.

But David was not an ordinary human nor was he an ordinary Phaser. Although his healing ability was impressive, he would still require resting for two or three days to heal naturally, but his vampire body allowed him to heal at a rapid pace as long as he had enough potent blood, he could heal from virtually any injury within minutes as long as it wasn’t an injury to his brain, and his important organs.

While his werewolf form could also do the same thing, he needed energy from raw meat, but eating human meat was just repulsive to him, while there were lots of beasts humans were much more available and easier to hunt, hence his hunt for human blood.

But now, humans rarely dive this deep into the forest which was almost at the border of this continent. Which meant it would be rare to find human blood.

But it was was easier finding beast’s blood and flesh since they practically everywhere within this forest. Most are so dangerous that even David didn’t dare go near their territory, he assumed they were rank 6 to rank 7 beasts. They usually don’t go out and rarely come out of their territory unless they were hungry.𝐍𝗈𝒱𝑒𝓵𝑵𝑬xt.𝑪𝐎𝐌

“Beast blood it is.” With that, he transformed it o his wolf form, sniffing at the surroundings before eventually choosing a direction, moving on all fours, he vanished from his previous position, his after image figure fading away.

Within a few minutes, he had hunted three rank 5 beasts, but not without being wounded. If it weren’t for his thick body, he would have been grievously injured by them.

David sat down within the mountain, slightly exhausted by his previous fights.

Bam!

A huge beast that was five meters tall slammed right at the ground before David.

Naturally, it was first order to skin the beast and then oil it, putting ingredients on it before roasting it and then, it was ready to be eating.

But to David, the process was a massive waste of time and resources. Roasting the meat would waste copious amounts of nutrients needed for him to heal, David wouldn’t do that.

Suddenly, David’s mouth opened so wide and he took a huge chunk of meat from the waist of the Six-tailed Fox before him.

The meat was rough and hard, but the mixture of blood and meat was just the tight delicacy for David. He couldn’t help but moan in joy. And his body cheered as he swallowed.

As though he had been starving for a long time, he took another bite from the waist, munching on the meat as though it was the most delicious he had ever tasted.

A few seconds, more than half of the meat of the four meters tall beast had been devoured by David. And his stomach didn’t appear to be full in the slightest. It was then David realised he had hunted this meat for the sole purpose of helping him heal rapid and not for his enjoyment.

Reluctantly retracting his Jaws, he sat down, grabbing the energy stone, he started meditating on the technique. In just a few seconds, his face had morphed into that of pain, but David refused to relent as he continued.

But in another thirty seconds, his body trembled profusely, sweat dripping down as he held on.

If one could see through his body, one would be able to see as the cells on his body was rapidly been destroyed by some sort of waves down to its atom and then rebuilt, using that same waves that originated from his body muscles and tissue.

Trembling violently, finally he couldn’t hold it any more as he let go. His body immediately slammed fell backwards and he groaned. The pain was becoming more intense with each section. He couldn’t even imagine what the pain would be like if he reached the final stage of the technique.

His muscles twitched and his bones shook like a fish put of water.. After a few minutes, the meat inside his body started to perform its Job, healing his cells.
