Birth of the Demonic Sword

ENDURE IT!

"The biggest disadvantage is the high mortality rate of the treatment since one mistake in the process might cause the specimen to die. Then there is the difficulty of the process since the specimen must actively control the "Breath" while his body is being destroyed and reconstructed. There is also the problem that the specimen itself can't make the destruction process since the acupoints are on his back, and there is the need for a skillful helper. The specimen can't, also, practice any different body-nourishing method before finishing the seven cycles of the treatment since the acupoints on his body are still fragile and can't withstand any different process of nourishment. Last is the worthiness of using such a process since the specimen can just wait for his dantian to be formed and then use an orthodox nourishing method instead of risking his life. It is said that the Mad Doctor, the creator of the method, had his dantian severely damaged but didn't give up on cultivating, and that's why he came up with this method."

Noah kept explaining while he was following William down the rocky passage, his Master would only nod every time he finished a sentence.

A sound came from behind them as the source of light was cut, it was the wall closing again by itself.

Only then Noah noticed some little lights at the bottom of the passage that were wooden torches fixed on the walls of this cavern.

With his already quite strong mental energy, it was not a problem for him to keep going down even before his eyes got used to the darkness.

"The greater advantage once completing all the seven cycles is that you will obtain a rank 3 body susceptible to the "Breath", so it will enhance your usage of martial arts and vastly strengthen your senses. The reason the body can be considered of rank 3 is that after seven cycles, the quality of "Breath" will equal a dantian one, so the level of nourishment will be the same. Furthermore, differently from any other nourishing technique, the Seven Hells method doesn't need meditation using forms or postures to refill the "Breath" in the body because the acupoints created will continuously keep on absorbing "Breath" according to the cycle the specimen is in until the body is full of it. At last, when the treatment is over, the body will work like a smaller dantian, so the cultivator's absorbing process will be faster, and his storage space will be bigger. It is to underline that most of these advantages will diminish in effectiveness once the cultivator steps on a higher realm."

While Noah was speaking, they passed several metal cells, mostly empty.

Only some of them had chained people inside.

They were no more than skin and bones.

After some time, they turned right and passed through a metal door, entering a room full of torture tools.

William pointed at a rusty metal table with metal handcuffs on both its sides.

"Take off the upper part of your clothes and lie down with your belly pointing the ground, I will tie you to the table and give you some piece of cloth to bite. Then we will begin."

As Noah was about to take off his clothes, William put a hand to his shoulder and asked hesitantly:

"From now on, there is no turning back, this is your last chance to stop yourself from doing something you might regret."

Noah smiled a little seeing how concerned William was and honestly answered:

"There has never been a way back for me Master, not since this bastard, son of a whore, had the stupid dream of becoming strong."

Then he undressed, and with his half-naked body, he laid down on the metal table with spread arms and legs and his back pointing at the ceiling.

William felt a bit of pity.
