Chapter 920 - The Tyrant's Physique
It wasn't supposed to be difficult to reach Rank 1 Body Transformation, which only acquired 1-million jin strength.
The true challenge is progressing further from Early Rank 1 Body Transformation.
After all, the peak of Rank 1 Body Transformation is tenfold the strength of Early Rank 1 Body Transformation.
"I'm afraid so, Your Highness," General Marquis Hendrick affirmed.
"While the benefits from eating Three-Legged Golden Crow are excellent, there is only so much meat to be shared with everyone. Furthermore, it wasn't easy to feed the Blue Luan Tribe. Everything disappeared in a matter of ten days."
After Leon heard that, he nodded with understanding.
The Blue Luan Tribe was full of large birds. The food could easily feed the Western Frontier for years, but it wouldn't even last two weeks for the entire Blue Luan Tribe.
Even if Western Frontier wanted the Blue Luan Tribe to stay, they couldn't afford the expenditure.
Nevertheless, since the Blue Luan Tribe left, Leon wondered if they had anything to do with the Desolate Netherbird Tribe's inactivity despite their feud with the Desolate Crow Clan.
In truth, Leon didn't know much about what was happening between the Desolate Crow Clan and the Desolate Netherbird Tribe.
However, that was something for him to worry about another time.
"I'm a bit embarrassed to say this. But although we only have 100 men reaching the Rank 1 Body Transformation realm, we also have one genius who surpassed that level," General Marquis Hendrick mentioned.
"Oh? Wouldn't that make that person even stronger than you? Who is this person?" Leon casually asked with interest.
"Yes, Your Highness," General Marquis Hendrick affirmed with a wry look.
"I think you should know this person, Your Highness. He was one of your classmates back in school, Benjamin Farley. Currently, his overall strength should be at Mid Rank 1 Body Transformation in the five phases."
"Mid Rank 1 Body Transformation, huh?" Leon muttered.
A person at Mid Rank 1 Body Transformation in just the bone-forging phase would have the physical strength of 5-million jin, making the person a Half-step Paragon.
Considering Benjamin Farley was Mid Rank 1 Body Transformation in all five body phases, his actual strength shouldn't be too far from the Paragon level.
Boom!
A sudden loud tremor distracted Leon's thoughts. Everyone's attention immediately focused on the battlefield outside of the Great Wall.
When Leon and the others looked a bit further past the main battlefield, they saw a small crater within the sea of mutant rats, where an obese young man stood alone.
"It seems like Benjamin Farley just entered the fray," General Marquis Hendrick mentioned.
"Fatty Ben, huh? I figured all that improvement in body cultivation would have fixed his body shape, but why does he look even fatter instead?" Leon uttered with surprise.
Shortly after hearing that, General Marquis Hendrick smiled wryly. The crown prince was in for a big surprise.
In the next instance, the round meatball of a person suddenly transformed into a war god after his excess flesh contracted into pure muscle.
Benjamin Farley's final transformation appeared even more impressive than the Battle God Palace's three palace lords.
Aria and Darlene both widened their eyes in shock.
They didn't expect the person they immediately labeled 'fat' at a glance to become the biggest brawn they had seen.
However, what was more startling was the person's strength!
After Benjamin Farley's excess flesh contracted into raw muscle, his physical strength skyrocketed to the peak of Rank 2 Body Transformation.
Boom!
Benjamin Farley swept the sea of mutant rats with his glaive and dominated the battlefield. He laid waste to tens of thousand mutant rats with a single swing.
The mutant rats posed no real threat to the Western Frontier with such a person around.
Nevertheless, Leon was pleased to know that geniuses were appearing in the flourishing Crawford Empire.
"W-what kind of physique does this person have? How can his body change so drastically like that? And that boost in strength is unreal…" Darlene uttered with disbelief.
She explored an entire secret realm and worked hard with Leon's help to reach her present level. But even then, her strength paled in comparison to Benjamin Farley's heaven-defying physique.
General Marquis Hendrick smiled. He was pleased to know that he wasn't the only one who felt how the heavens were unfair.
"It's the Astral Tyrant Physique. It's similar to the Empyrean Void Body you'll acquire if you practice the Empyrean Void Body Law. But, you can also say that it's not similar at all, " Leon mentioned to Darlene.
The Astral Tyrant Physique and Empyrean Void Body were both special physiques.
However, one is innate, and the other is forged through practice. Furthermore, the abilities of the two special physiques were also completely different. One augmented physical capabilities while the other increased control over space.
The only trait the two physiques shared was their ability to have pocket dimensions in the pores to store power, whether it is the power of the stars or the power of space.
Although Darlene was eventually made aware of the difference, she was strangely motivated to practice the Empyrean Void Body Law and acquire her Empyrean Void Body.
Leon smiled at her awakened competitive spirit.
Sometime later, Leon had General Marquis Hendrick fill him in on all the events that happened in the Crawford Empire during his absence.
After he learned there had been contacts between the Crawford Empire and the Geyser Kingdom, Leon transmitted several primordial techniques to General Marquis Hendrick before he went on his way with Aria and Darlene.
They returned to the Teleportation Array installed at the Elder Tree.
Then, Leon set their destination to the new capital in the Grassland Region, or wherever his mother, Queen Elizabeth, installed one of his other Teleportation Arrays.
Nevertheless, General Marquis Hendrick also followed them to the Teleportation Array before bidding them farewell.
"Please send my regards to the king and queen, Your Highness," General Marquis Hendrick said politely.
"I will," Leon acknowledged.
While activating the Teleportation Array, Leon's eyes flickered with anticipation.. He looked forward to seeing the new capital's development.
