Chapter 2277: Heaven Defying Ascension Pill

After their spar, Kulas brought Tian Yang and Ren Xia to their new living quarters.

"I assumed the two of you wanted to live in the same room, so I only prepared this room. If you want separate rooms, let me know," said Kulas.

"How thoughtful." Ren Xia remarked. "But you’re not wrong."

Tian Yang walked into the room and expressed slight surprise, "This room... is normal-sized. I thought every room in this palace was meant for giants, or did you specifically create this just for us?"

Kulas smiled and said, "You know, there are times when I feel like walking around in my original size, so there are rooms in here dedicated to humans. Not to mention, we receive human-sized guests all of the time."

"I see..."

"Well, I have to return to work now. If there is anything you need, don’t hesitate to ask the servants. Of course, you can bother me whenever," Kulas said.

"Thanks for everything."

After Kulas left, Tian Yang and Ren Xia went to familiarize themselves with their new living space. Although it existed within the palace, the room was huge, with several other connecting rooms.

"I’m going to take a shower," Tian Yang said, as he was still soaked in sweat from his sparring with Kulas.

"Sure."

Shortly after Tian Yang entered the bathroom, Ren Xia entered as well. Without warning, of course.

Tian Yang was resting in the bathtub when she walked in, and after quickly washing her body, she also entered the bathtub, resting her slender body on top of his.

"How long do you think we’ll stay here?" she asked.

"Who knows? It’s not like we have anywhere else to be."

"I guess so..."

After several minutes of silence, Ren Xia suddenly reached for the sword pressing against her back and said, "Once we’re done here, I want to experience what Kulas had mentioned."

Knowing that he can’t avoid this subject forever, Tian Yang let out a long, defeated sigh.

"...Fine."

He had known this moment would come when the subject was first brought up.

Some time later, they moved into the bedroom, where Tian Yang demonstrated the capabilities of the Great Mammoth Body Refinement technique. Rather than enlarging his entire physique, however, he focused the technique on a single area.

"Heavens..." Ren Xia stared at his enlarged sword, her eyes wide with excitement and a hint of nervousness.

"Will this even fit?" she mumbled in a mosquito-like voice.

Noticing the hesitation in her gaze, Tian Yang teased, "Don’t tell me you’re going to run away now? You’re the one who suggested this."

"R-Run away? Don’t insult me," Ren Xia said, pushing Tian Yang down with surprising force.

She embraced him fully, accepting his enlarged sword without hesitation.

A brief wince of pain crossed her face, but it was quickly replaced by a soft gasp as discomfort quickly shifted into overwhelming warmth.

"It feels like I am doing it for the first time again," she remarked with a playful smile, eyes gleaming with desire.

"No, go ahead. It’s not like I have any other use for them." Tian Yang took out the sealed ingredients from his spatial ring and handed them to Kulas without hesitation.

"Let me know when it’s done."

"Sure."

From that day forward, Tian Yang devoted himself to learning Array Symbols under the tutelage of Lu An, a Level 6 Array Master who was considered to be at the pinnacle of his craft at that time.

Aside from studying Array Symbols, Tian Yang sparred with Kulas once a week. He also sparred with Ren Xia from time to time, but their other kind of sparring—the one that took place in the bedroom—happened nearly every day.

Several months later, Kulas gave Tian Yang the completed treasure that was created using the ingredients he found in Han Zexian’s cavern.

"This is the Heaven Defying Ascension Pill," Kulas introduced the pill as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"What does it do?" Tian Yang asked.

Kulas smiled and replied, "That’s a secret. You’ll find out once you consume it."

"You’re telling me to consume a pill with unknown effects?" Tian Yang raised his eyebrows, forgetting that was precisely what he did in Han Zexian’s cavern... several times, at that.

"What? Do you think I’ll poison you or something?" Kulas glared at him.

"Of course not." Tian Yang accepted the pill and added, "Thanks. I’ll take it later today."

At that moment, he had no idea just how precious and heaven-defying the pill truly was.
