Douluo: AFK to Become a God

Unlike most metals in nature that exist in mineral form, Fa Jin has an exceptionally high purity, almost reaching 100%.

Normally, Fa Jin appears as small, round, golden particles about the size of a grain of rice.

"Hmm, not many people recognize this, some call it Fa Jin. Try injecting your soul power into it."

Chu Chengzhou, who had picked up some Fa Jin from the pile of crystal powder on the ground, said without turning his head.

"Fa Jin?"

Muttering to herself, Xiao Wu activated her soul power and tried to inject it into the small golden Fa Jin particle.

Suddenly, a strange sight occurred.

Under Xiao Wu's soul power, the golden Fa Jin particle slowly extended, and in no time at all, it transformed into a thin, hair-like golden thread.

It looked thinner than a hair strand, but was over three inches long. If not for its golden color, it would be hard to spot.

"It looks just like a hair strand. No wonder it's called Fa Jin."

Xiao Wu widened her eyes and carefully observed the Fa Jin in her hand, realizing why it had that name.

She bent over and collected all the Fa Jin from the crystal powder into her spatial jade stone. Chu Chengzhou turned around, ready to explain the power of Fa Jin to Xiao Wu, but unexpectedly bumped into her, who was curiously inspecting the needle-like Fa Jin in her hand.

This small bump led to a big problem!

The bump itself wasn't an issue, it would have just knocked Xiao Wu over. However, she happened to be holding a Fa Jin particle that had turned into a needle-like shape!

As soon as Chu Chengzhou realized he had bumped into Xiao Wu, he felt a sharp pain in his backside, as if he had been stung by a mosquito, followed by an unimaginable intense pain.

"Ahh~!"

The intense pain made him instantly contort his face in agony, nearly bringing tears to his eyes.

"??? What's going on? Hey, where's my Fa Jin?"

Seeing Chu Chengzhou in pain, Xiao Wu was confused. She looked down at her hand, only to realize that the needle-like Fa Jin had disappeared.

She then looked at Chu Chengzhou, who was in agony, and then at her empty hand, realizing she might have caused some trouble.

But such a fine needle shouldn't cause that much pain, right?

"Can I say it wasn't on purpose?"

Xiao Wu nervously said, feeling a bit guilty.

"Ugh, quickly, pull it out!"

Chu Chengzhou gasped in pain, urgently telling Xiao Wu.

This was no time to discuss whether Xiao Wu did it on purpose. The important thing was to get the "Dragon Beard Needle" out before it was too late, or else he would have to resort to cutting the flesh.

When Fa Jin is infused with soul power, it turns into a three-inch long "Dragon Beard Needle." However, the needle is extremely fine, and it doesn't contain much soul power. Once the soul power dissipates, it reverts to its original granular form.

But since it had already pierced through the flesh, the needle couldn't revert, and the surrounding flesh would twist and entangle with it.

In other words, the needle that pierced his backside was just one, but if there were more, the pain would be even worse than death!

"Ah~! Help me pull it out! Quick!"

Xiao Wu hesitated, feeling embarrassed to handle this situation. After all, it was his backside, not his arms or legs, and even though they were close, it still felt awkward.

"Don't waste time, hurry up... Ahh~!"

Chu Chengzhou gritted his teeth, trying to bear the pain. He couldn't help but admire Zhao Wuji.

One "Dragon Beard Needle" caused this much pain. He couldn't imagine how Zhao Wuji managed to endure ten of them in the original story.

Seeing that Chu Chengzhou was clearly in unbearable pain, Xiao Wu stopped hesitating and quickly pulled down his pants.

As soon as she did, Xiao Wu saw that on the right side of Chu Chengzhou's bare backside, a swollen, walnut-sized lump had formed, turning blue-black due to the blood accumulation.

Seeing the severity of the injury, Xiao Wu's eyes reddened, almost crying.

She never expected that their little accident would result in such a serious injury.

Although the injury wasn't on her backside, it was clear that it must be extremely painful.

"Big Brother, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Wu anxiously examined the injury, but unfortunately, the needle had already disappeared beneath the skin, and she was powerless to help.

Chu Chengzhou: "..."

In the original story, Tang San was able to extract the needles from Zhao Wuji, but that didn't mean Xiao Wu had the ability to do the same.

"Wait until later, I'll deal with you then!"

Chu Chengzhou glared at Xiao Wu and limped into the bathroom.

Facing the mirror, with his back to it, Chu Chengzhou observed the extent of the injury.

Then, he activated his soul power, sending a small amount into the twisted and entangled Fa Jin embedded in his backside.

With the infusion of soul power, the twisted Fa Jin immediately began to turn into a "Dragon Beard Needle."

However, due to the obstruction of flesh, only the ends of the needle transformed into sharp tips, while the middle part remained twisted together.

To make matters worse, the tip of the needle that had straightened out poked a little deeper into the flesh.

"Ugh~!"

The pain intensified, and Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but gasp again.

But there was a silver lining. The tip of the needle had already emerged from the swelling.

With his soul power activated, he pinched the exposed tip and gritted his teeth, determined to pull it out.

"Ahh~!"

Immediately, another heart-wrenching scream echoed from the bathroom.

Removing the Dragon Beard Needle was even more painful than having it inserted.

As it was pulled out, the twisted Fa Jin caused even more pain by pulling at the surrounding flesh and tendons. The experience was indescribable.

After forcing the blood out of the swelling, Chu Chengzhou summoned his soul beast, the True Spirit Flag, and two purple thousand-year soul rings glowed.

With his soul power flowing, the first soul ring activated, and a massive Azure Tree spirit appeared.

Fortunately, the summoned spirit was a soul skill manifestation, formed from soul power, and with his purple-level control skill, Chu Chengzhou was able to control its size. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough space in the small hotel bathroom to accommodate the massive Azure Tree spirit.

The Azure Tree spirit's green soul power glowed, and its innate healing ability activated. A wave of green light filled with life energy flowed toward Chu Chengzhou.

Under the healing energy, the swelling on his backside quickly healed, and the damaged flesh and tendons rapidly regenerated.

In the blink of an eye, the blue-black swelling disappeared, and his backside returned to its original, smooth state.
