Chapter 117: Side Effects of the Strengthening Pill_1

“Instructor, good!” Su Jingfeng saluted Xu Fan first.

“Instructor, good!” The people on the ground also scrambled up in a hurry and saluted Xu Fan.

They had already experienced Xu Fan’s imposing nature and respected and feared him. Just a moment ago, they were all pretending to be dead on the ground, but as soon as Xu Fan arrived, they somehow found the strength to get up.

“Who just said they wanted me to treat their leg, stand out,” Xu Fan said, his gaze stern as he looked over the group of team members.

“Instructor… it was me!” Sun Libao from the War Wolf Squad stood out. He and Xiao Bei were always the darling duo of War Wolf, so he often teased Xiao Bei, not expecting to be caught by this devilish instructor right after speaking.

“What’s your name?” Xu Fan asked, his eyes coldly fixed on Sun Libao.

“Reporting to the instructor, my name is Sun Libao, a team member of class three of the War Wolf Squad!” Sun Libao said to Xu Fan, somewhat sheepishly.

“Sun Libao, it would be better to call you Cheap Libao. It’s my first time encountering such a request to break someone’s leg,” Xu Fan suddenly changed his expression and said teasingly.

“Hahahaha.” Laughter erupted from the surrounding team members.

Sun Libao’s face turned red amidst the laughter.

“Cheap Libao fellow, come over to me,” Xu Fan said, squinting his eyes and smiling at Sun Libao.

“Instructor, I was just talking; I never really thought you would actually treat my leg,” Sun Libao said to Xu Fan with trepidation, yet he followed the order, walked over to Xu Fan obediently and respectfully stood in front of him.

“Do you want to improve your physical functions as quickly as Xiao Bei did?” Xu Fan asked Sun Libao.

“Reporting to the instructor, I really do! But I also don’t want a broken leg because I’m afraid it’ll affect my training,” Sun Libao said loudly.

Sun Libao had no idea how Xiao Bei’s leg was healed or how he became so awesome. His words were just a joke, and if his leg really broke and couldn’t be fixed, it would be the end of him.

“Come, Cheap Libao fellow, pick up this bottle and swallow this Free and Easy Pill, and you’ll become like Xiao Bei, instantly a real man, no longer at risk of running out of energy,” Xu Fan said, taking out a bottle, opening the cap and shaking it at Sun Libao.

“Damn, so Xiao Bei really did take an elixir!” Sun Libao lamented inwardly and slowly extended a hand under Xu Fan’s bottle.

Xu Fan lightly shook the mouth of the bottle and poured a golden elixir into Sun Libao’s hand, then watched him firmly commanding, “Eat it!”

Holding the elixir in his hand, Sun Libao’s face flickered with conflict, but seeing Xu Fan’s uncompromising eyes, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it.

“How does it feel?” Xu Fan asked Sun Libao after he had swallowed the medicinal pill.

It was his first time in thousands of years making this kind of pill for human consumption. He only remembered the effects, but forgot what reactions or side effects they had, so he decided to test it on the unlucky Sun Libao who walked into the line of fire.

“Reporting to the instructor, it melted in my mouth, leaving a pure aftertaste, like a stream of sweet spring water flowing between my lips and teeth,” Sun Libao savored the taste in his mouth, reminiscing as he spoke to Xu Fan.

“It’s truly a waste that you don’t go and become the spokesperson for ‘Cheap Libao’; such eloquence,” Xu Fan said, patting Sun Libao’s shoulder. But as soon as he patted, there was a “pfft” sound, and Sun Libao let out a loud fart with a very pure scent, like a wisp of green smoke, flowing through everyone’s nostrils.

“Holy crap! So the side effect is gas emission! To enhance a mortal’s physique, one must constantly expel the impure qi from within, and this effect will probably last for about four hours.” Xu Fan covered his nose and quickly moved beyond three meters from Sun Libao, silently calculating in his mind to arrive at a side effect report for the Strengthening Pill.

“Su Jingfeng!” Xu Fan shouted to Captain Su.

“Present!” Su Jingfeng quickly ran up to Xu Fan.

“Distribute one medicinal pill to each of the squad members from this bottle, and keep the rest with you for now. You take one as well—right now, this instant, everyone should have their pills within one minute.” Xu Fan handed the small bottle containing Strengthening Pills to Su Jingfeng, then immediately retreated to more than ten meters away from the squad members.

Su Jingfeng poured a handful of medicinal pills from the small bottle, held them in his hand, and rapidly distributed a Strengthening Pill to each of the team members with lightning speed.

In less than forty seconds, all the members of the War Wolf Squad had received the shiny golden pills and were inspecting them closely in their hands.

“Everyone, pay attention. Now line up in a row, every person two meters apart, and face me. Without my command, nobody turns their back to me!” Xu Fan ordered loudly, pinching his nose.

“All present, assume a line formation, two-meter intervals, spread out!” Su Jingfeng barked an order, and the War Wolf Squad members instantly formed up, standing two meters apart on the training field, occupying more than half of it with their formation.

“Begin taking the pills now!” Xu Fan commanded.

Everyone picked up their medicinal pills and swallowed them down in one gulp.

“Stand at attention for four hours, then you’re dismissed!” Xu Fan told Su Jingfeng.

“All present! Maintain the position!” Su Jingfeng commanded, taking the lead at the front of the formation.

“Pfft!” A soft farting noise came from someone, unnoticed.

A surge of foul odor rapidly spread out, and before the surrounding squad members could even catch their breath, they felt a stream of gas churning furiously inside their own bellies.

“Damn it! I really can’t hold it in!” the squad members mentally shouted, and then a series of farting sounds began to erupt on the training field, like the crackling of fireworks during New Year’s.

Xu Fan, seeing the situation go from bad to worse and knowing what was at stake, hurriedly ran toward the infirmary.

The air here would soon be spoiled, and Xu Fan had no desire to stay.

Pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff…

Amid the continuous noises, all the members of the War Wolf Squad turned red in the face and neck, clearly straining to hold their breath, but the longer they held it, the stronger the stench became in the outside air.

Once they took a breath through the nose, the squad members all experienced a sudden brain boost and whiteout of vision.

Now Su Jingfeng finally understood why Xu Fan had organized them into a single-file formation and instructed everyone not to turn around.

“What on earth is this pill, causing such intense fart urges? But inside my body, it seems like there’s a warm current of gas slowly circling around, spreading throughout my body in no time.” Puzzled, Su Jingfeng had just stopped holding his breath and took a breath, nearly getting asphyxiated by the smell.
