Tang Shaoyang lost track of time as he focused on comprehending the Nine Heavenly Gates. He did not know how much time he spent in this dimensional space, but he managed to comprehend up to Six Heavenly Gate. There was a lot to gain from comprehending the Nine Heavenly Gates, mostly the attribute. His Divine Power had reached 60-star Myth Rank, almost maxed out even though he just reached Myth Ranks. The other attributes had reached a 40-star flat.
The interesting part was that he had a new addition to his window status, Heavenly Energy. Another additional energy he could use in his fight. Meanwhile, his Dantian had expanded twenty times larger, increasing his Heavenly Energy. Though it did not really matter after he evolved his Mana into Divine Power.
Tang Shaoyang got up from his meditation, stretching out his arms and neck. He wanted to comprehend all ten gates, but it was not the time to focus on this scripture when he needed to reach the next rank quickly. Not because the Nine Heavenly Gates did not give him enough boost of power, but because he realized after the sixth gate that he needed a lot of time to learn the seventh gate. It might take him months if not years. That was why he wanted to take it slow from the seventh gate onward.
He looked around, to be exact, sniffing around as he smelled an unpleasant smell. He ended up smelling himself and realized the source of the nasty smell was his body. Ever since he took the Trial of Myth, he never washed his body.
"Bath. I need a bath." Tang Shaoyang turned toward the exit portal and left the dimension space. He returned to the empty room, and he was about to go out but noticed a presence, not just one but three. Giving a quick scan of the room, he found the three presences quickly.
The red-haired lady was sleeping on the bed, the black cat slept on her chest, and the golden-winged lizard slept right next to the red-haired lady's butt. He recognized three of them; Rosalie, Wrath, and Greed.
Tang Shaoyang was about to approach the bed, but Rosalie suddenly let out a rant with her eyes closed, "Greed! Did you fart!?" She raised her voice and yelled at the Dark Predator.
Tang Shaoyang paused at the yell, unsure if he should approach the bed or not. Meanwhile, Greed returned the rant with a smack on the face. The Dark Predator used its tail, smacking Rosalie's cheek.
Rosalie was not the only one affected by the smell but Greed and Wrath as well. The Golden Dragon woke up but remained on his spot, looking at Tang Shaoyang with an annoyed gaze. It was the same for Greed, in fact, Greed backed further up the wall, staring at Tang Shaoyang with its yellow eyes. What followed after was Rosalie woke up. She sat up on the bed, rubbing her eyes while turning her gaze toward the smell.
"I told you to wash your…" The Flame Empress paused as she saw someone who had been waiting for her. Her facial expression was funny from Tang Shaoyang's perspective. It started with a frown, then she smiled happily at the sight of him, then the smell caused her to frown once more. She made a conflicted expression as if in doubt should she be happy or not?
"I will wash up," Tang Shaoyang grinned and went out, but before he could open the door, Rosalie called him up, "Wait!" He turned around and raised his right eyebrow.
"Are you really Tang Shaoyang?" The absurd question came out of Rosalie's mouth.
The question caught him off guard. He blinked his eyes, trying to process the question, making sure he did not hear it wrong. He was pretty sure he did not hear it wrong, so he could not help but dazzle with the weird question, "Pardon?" He wondered if there was a fake Tang Shaoyang outside there while he was training the Nine Heavenly Gates in another dimensional space.
"Is this a prank or a serious question?" He added at the end.
"Wash first. We will talk later," Rosalie rubbed her eyes. She thought she was still sleepy, so Tang Shaoyang looked a little bit different. It was hard to believe for an adult to have a change of features within just a little over a month.
Tang Shaoyang shrugged and went out, taking a bath in the lake. He washed off the dried sweat, and he noticed his body was covered in faint black stains. The black stain floated on the lake, that was how he found out the black stain on his body. After cleaning up, he returned to the former dwarf's settlement.
Rosalie came up to him, touching his face, chin, cheek, and nose. She frowned before turning toward Greed and Wrath, "Is he your real Master?"
Greed licked its paw, nodding, did not care about the change. Master was still Master. Wrath also nodded, but it had the same reaction as Rosalie. It sat on Rosalie's shoulder, also observing Tang Shaoyang's face. It was not that big a change but noticeable.
"You have become more handsome…" She blurted out, "Not just that, you also become taller as well. The height is more obvious now I stand next to you. What actually happened? I want to know the secret. I also want to look prettier." The Flame Empress was curious. It must be something in the Trial of Myth.
Their height difference was like six centimeters, but it had grown to almost twenty centimeters. She noticed the difference as she had to tiptoe to reach his face.
Zhang Mengyao informed her that Tang Shaoyang might be taking the trial. She confirmed that when she arrived here with Greed and Wrath connection with Tang Shaoyang.
"Wait… I have finished my Trial of Myth as well, but I still look the same," She realized it might be something related to the reward.
It was Tang Shaoyang's turn to be surprised to hear all of that from Rosalie. He subconsciously touched his face, but he felt no different. As for the height, he indeed noticed the difference. He was a hundred eighty-eight centimeters, but he felt like he was now over one hundred ninety, maybe he reached two hundred centimeters.
"Really?"
