All preparations were proceeding vigorously, but Chen Yu did not urge Inomata Naoki at all.
During the time Chen Yu was not in Tokyo, Inomata Naoki had already completed the initial training plan formulated by Hiromi Jounouchi for him, and had significantly improved his physical fitness and endurance.
Compared to when he first started training, Inomata Naoki now has a substantial difference in both mental state and physical condition.
Although Inomata Naoki was healthy before, his condition wasn't very good after his surgery for cancer, always giving people a sickly impression.
This time, having the opportunity to become a transcendent being, Hiromi Jounouchi personally helped adjust his body previously, smoothing out all his tangled muscles.
Now, compared to before, Inomata Naoki looks much healthier, and his complexion appears much better.
However, the depletion of vitality caused by the cancer surgery cannot be replenished in a short time, even though Hiromi Jounouchi did consider his physical condition in the training plan, during training he often pushed himself to the limit but still failed to meet the training standards.
Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi were aware of this and had prepared subsequent solutions for him.
"So is this the solution you mentioned, Brother Yu?" Inomata Naoki looked at the rough wooden cup and the unknown green liquid inside it, his expression distinctly odd.
Although Japanese people don't typically play PC-based online games, Inomata Naoki knew the joke "Gul'dan's Price" from back when he and Chen Yu lived in the same dormitory.
The cup and the green liquid inside it were clearly part of Chen Yu's quirky humor.
"Drink up, Naoki, this is your destiny." Chen Yu obviously held back a laugh as he spoke to Inomata Naoki, deliberately mimicking a hoarse, deep voice.
Looking at Chen Yu with slight helplessness, Inomata Naoki knew Chen Yu wouldn't harm him, so he gulped down the liquid in the cup, not bothering to taste it, and quickly wiped his mouth and asked Chen Yu, "So, what's the price?"
Seeing Inomata Naoki drink his special concoction, Chen Yu finally laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's just a specially blended Healing Potion. Although there's some Dragon Blood added, it will only strengthen your body, with no mutation or other side effects."
Saying that, Chen Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Of course, if you want to stop being human, that's possible too. I have a full set of Dragon Transformation mutation potions here, drink them and you can transform into a Young Dragonkin."
"Forget it, I haven't thought about not being human yet, just like this..." Inomata Naoki put down the wooden cup as he was speaking and felt a warm flow surge from his stomach into every part of his body, followed by a piercing itch, especially where the surgery was once performed, itching as if Inomata Naoki wanted to stab himself twice.
However, just as Inomata Naoki couldn't help but reach his hand to scratch, Chen Yu suddenly patted him on the shoulder, immobilizing him completely.
"Haha, you can't scratch this," Chen Yu laughed as he looked at Inomata Naoki's changing expressions after being immobilized. "Naoki, you're a medical student, right? You should know what it feels like when wounds heal and grow? Bear with it, you mustn't scratch."
At this moment, Inomata Naoki felt as if countless ants were crawling and biting him all over his body, painful, itchy, and slightly numb, making his entire face flush red, even his eyes were almost bulging out.
Hiromi Jounouchi, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but say to Chen Yu, "Honey, is it necessary to torture Mr. Zhishu like this? You could cut off his perception."
Hiromi Jounouchi's words made Inomata Naoki quickly look pleadingly towards Chen Yu, wishing he would just knock him out, the itchiness and numbness were driving him crazy, wanting to scrape himself with a knife.
"Alright, alright, you can't even endure this level, Naoki, your willpower!" Chen Yu shook his head pretending to be helpless but still reached out and pressed at the back of Inomata Naoki's neck, cutting off his bodily perceptions.
With his bodily perception cut off by Chen Yu, Inomata Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
However, his body was still immobilized by Chen Yu, stiff and unable to move or speak.
The liquid Chen Yu gave him, although a joking gesture, actually had healing properties that could repair his body and compensate for the depletion from the years of cancer surgery and suffering.
But it's not a comfortable process, making old wounds grow anew, almost replacing the cells at the site of the scar.
The sensation is akin to cutting flesh bit by bit with a small knife, healing immediately afterward, the numbness, itchiness, and pain far exceed typical limits of tolerance.
Of course, if one can endure this feeling with willpower, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for mental growth and strengthening of will, Chen Yu wasn't entirely tormenting Inomata Naoki.
But judging by his appearance, it didn't seem like he could endure it, so Chen Yu naturally cut off his bodily sensations to alleviate his suffering.
The whole process didn't last long, after about an hour, Chen Yu saw Naoki was about done and patted his body to release the Binding Spell on him.
"Phew! Brother Yu, you must teach me how to break this myself later! Being immobilized for an hour without moving is too uncomfortable!" Naoki fell to the ground weakly once released by Chen Yu, taking a while to recover, but his first request was to learn how to break the binding himself.
At his remark, Chen Yu merely chuckled and shook his head, "Back when I was doing military training in university, I stood under the sun for four hours without moving a muscle. This is nothing! Anyway, once you have enough power, no one can bind you, what I did was just interrupt your neural signal transmission, giving your body an 'don't move' directive."
"You can do that? Doesn't that mean you can control someone at will, make them do or see whatever you want?" Naoki looked in surprise at Chen Yu, finding his technique of influencing neural signal transmission extraordinarily skillful.
This time, Chen Yu really shook his head in exasperation, commenting wryly, "What misunderstanding do you have about my abilities? As the pinnacle of personal power in this world, if I couldn't even control a person's five senses, I wouldn't deserve to call myself a Demigod, let alone prepare for Divine Enthronement."
"Brother Yu, you're preparing for Divine Enthronement?" Naoki looked at Chen Yu with a face full of astonishment.
