We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 200 The Mysterious Heavenly Medicine!
"but."

"Now there's still a rather troublesome matter." Shen Bailian's joy vanished instantly. Feeling the surging power within him, ripples of emotion spread through his heart.

"How can I conceal my strength so that my master and the others won't notice it, or how can I deceive those detection instruments?"

Compared to ordinary martial artists, those who improve their strength faster can be called martial arts geniuses, such as Li Hongling, Xiao Yan, Gao Lei, Wu Gang, and others.

Those whose strength improves much faster, or even more rapidly, can generally be called martial arts prodigies, such as Li Feiyu, Wang Yuxuan, Feng Yanqiu, Chen Jiyue, and other Sun-level Dragon Gate martial arts students.
Those whose strength increases several times faster than ordinary martial artists can be considered top-tier martial arts prodigies, such as Yuwen Changkong.

Originally, Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong's talent level and martial arts potential were almost equal. Even though Shen Bailian had reached the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, it was still within a reasonable range.

However, in just three and a half days, his physical fitness level increased by an astonishing 1.5 levels, directly leaping from the late stage of the Transcendent Realm to the peak of the Transcendent Realm, almost stepping into the Sea Opening Realm.

Such a huge leap, even for someone as powerful as the Divine Palace Realm with a martial arts level like Shi Bu Hui, it's impossible for him not to notice anything, not to mention that there is more than one Divine Palace Realm expert in the Great Xia territory.

If this matter were to leak out, even if Shen Bailian wasn't put on a research table and dissected for study, he would certainly be coveted by many powerful individuals.

This is inevitable.

A 1.5-level increase in three and a half days averages out to 0.43 levels per day. That's 0.43 levels for the late-stage or peak of the Transcendent Realm. Even just a little research could boost the overall strength of the Great Xia by ten percentage points.

The temptation to rapidly enhance one's strength is something that only the Great Xia army, whose ideology has been implanted with steel imprints, can resist.

"Or... there's still a fragment of a divine essence undergoing purification in the universe. Could we use it, along with divine matter, to create a skill that conceals our true strength?"

"Just like when I was making the pseudo-divine artifact, the Dragon Slayer." Shen Bailian stood in the rushing hot water, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and he fell into deep thought.

but.

"No! Using it like this would be a waste of that divine fragment, and it also conflicts with my original plan."

In just a few seconds, many thoughts surfaced in Shen Bailian's mind, many of which directly rejected his original far-fetched idea.

The reason is simply that it's not worth it; the cost-effectiveness is too low.

"If I am forced to leave this world and my master can't protect me, I can simply use the passive effect of [Following Shadow] to fake my death and escape, and live on under a different identity."

"Of course, this approach is not without its drawbacks, namely that one cannot enjoy the cultivation resources provided by the Great Xia government or the Tiangang Academy."

“However,” Shen Bailian murmured, “whether or not I cultivate resources doesn’t seem to have that much of an impact on me. Instead of wasting time digesting them, I’d rather grind for skill experience points and improve my skills by one level. That would be a much bigger boost.”

"In that case, what I lack most right now is not a skill that can conceal my strength or physical ability level, but a skill that allows me to escape over a wide area."

After this mission in Cave Heaven No. 98, Shen Bailian's physical attributes improved rapidly, and even with his current flight speed, he could easily exceed Mach 1.

Not to mention those at the Sea Opening Realm, or even those at the peak of the Sea Opening Realm or those at the Moon Embracing Realm.

The passive resurrection range of the divine skill [Following Shadow] is so "narrow" in the face of the current speed that a Sea Opening Realm expert can cover it in just a few dozen seconds.

In future battles, Shen Bailian's enemies are highly likely to be third-tier or even peak third-tier ferocious beasts or divine favored beings.

Third-tier ferocious beasts are somewhat better, but the most troublesome are third-tier divine favored beasts.

According to records in the Tiangang Academy's database, third-tier divine favored beings have reached an extremely strong level of control over the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Some special divine favored beings have even reached the threshold of authority in terms of their control over the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth is their tentacles. As long as those third-tier divine beings want to, even if Shen Bailian is hundreds of miles away, they can easily sense him.

Therefore, in order to cope with the challenges ahead, Shen Bailian urgently needs a skill that can perform wide-area teleportation, with a range of at least 500, no, 1,000 kilometers, to feel safe enough.

Alternatively, the passive effect of the divine skill "Following in the Shadow" could be enhanced to allow it to anchor to several fixed resurrection points.

However, no matter which option Shen Bailian chooses, he cannot simply rely on a single skill point to implement the plan, and he prefers the first option.

Because if things go wrong and the active effect of "Following in the Shadow" is changed, then it would be a huge loss.

Although this skill is only equivalent to a beggar's version of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is at least related to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, Shen Bailian realized that converging the timeline meant that his past no longer existed within the river of time.

This active effect is practically useless in the early stages and only wastes divine matter for no reason, but it becomes completely different in the later stages.

“However, it’s unclear how long it will take to purify this batch of divine fragments.” Shen Bailian raised his hand slightly, and the water from the showerhead immediately stopped.

He then waved his hand again, and an invisible and intangible light wave spread out from inside the bathroom. In just a few seconds, the water stains on his body disappeared, and his hair returned to its clean state.

"Technology really changes lives." After getting dressed, Shen Bai walked straight out of the bathroom, looking around at the luxurious decor of the room and the abundant spiritual energy far surpassing that in the underground training rooms of the Heavenly Gang Academy, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"The executives at Galaxy Company are really generous."

The presidential suite of Xinghe Company's six-star hotel is fully equipped with almost all the cultivation materials available on the market, plus highly intelligent smart home features.

Generally speaking, staying in this presidential suite for one night requires a cash flow of at least 100 million Xia coins, and it is only open to experts at or above the Opening Sea Realm.

Even Yuwen Changkong was only allowed to stay because Lei Zhentian vouched for him.

And Shen Bailian lives here?

There are no restrictions, you don't need to pay a single penny, and there are dedicated service personnel available 24/7.

"The skills closest to being upgraded right now are the divine skill [Eye of God] and the skill [Heavenly Qi]." Shen Bailian sat on the sofa, a glint of light in his eyes, thinking to himself:
"Moreover, my character is only less than 600 experience points away from level 10, so it will take at most a month to level up."

"At that time, my physical and mental attributes will be boosted again." Thinking this, Shen Bailian held his breath and murmured softly:
"If that's the case, I can not only raise my martial arts realm to the Opening Sea Realm before I turn eighteen, but also raise my spiritual power level to the second-tier Spirit Stream Realm!"

If this were before entering Cave 98, Shen Bailian would at most dare to say that his achievements were unprecedented.

but now?

A seventeen-year-old martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm with a second-tier Spirit Stream Realm level of spiritual power can not only be described as unprecedented, but also as unparalleled in the future.

"Hidden strength?" "Hidden my ass! Nobody can stop me from getting stronger. At worst, I'll just go all out, implant a thought imprint, join the core army, and then use the passive effect of [Shadow Follows] to refresh my status!"

Shen Bailian lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His originally outstretched palm gradually clenched, then relaxed again. In a short moment, he made up his mind.

"Moreover, I am not without support now. There is one who is unrepentant and another who is Xiong Kuohai. The latter, in particular, is a well-established and renowned Divine Palace Realm expert in Great Xia."

"With these two 'great scholars' defending me, I don't believe anyone would dare to mess with me unless I deliberately violate the ironclad laws of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"Of course, I can't be foolish enough to openly reveal my physical fitness level, otherwise I'll definitely become a thorn in the side of all the gods."

"That's it."

"Once the fragments of the divine essence have been purified by the world, and I return to school to DIY a wide-area teleportation skill, it will be around the time for winter break."

"After that, I can start working on breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm."

Shen Bailian put on the smart bracelet that had already been checked and cleaned, glanced at the time, and after finding that it was still early, briefly checked the supplies in his storage ring.

"Let's go! Let's cultivate!"

……

Northern border of Great Xia, area B3.

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, roars like thunderclaps echoed through the forest as dozens of enormous figures crashed through thick trees and charged toward a warrior in tight-fitting armor at the front.

The entire forest trembled slightly as dozens of massive, bronze-armored demon wolves galloped across the land.

Their fury was so intense that they were determined to burn and devour the enemies in front of them.

"hu~hu~"

Chen Yifei was covered in defensive battle armor. His internal organs resonated violently, producing a thunderous roar. His scalding blood surged out like a long river, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a halo. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Yifei's eyes were cold, and his heart was extremely calm. He moved through the dense forest with the agility of a monkey, leaping more than ten meters in a single bound.

Suddenly.

Chen Yifei inexplicably felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end, as if he were being targeted by a sharp weapon.

It's too late, but it's soon.

"boom!"

Amidst a deafening roar, several high-speed spinning spiral projectiles gleaming with a bluish light were launched, instantly breaking the sound barrier and shooting towards Chen Yifei.

This place is not only home to the Bronze Armored Demon Wolves, but also to the highly agile Gale Demon Wolves, making it extremely dangerous.

Along the path of those spiral projectiles, many boulders and trees were instantly engulfed and torn to dust.

Chen Yifei nimbly dodged to the side, but the speed of those spiral bullets was too fast, and they caught him completely off guard.

Even though Chen Yifei had tried his best to dodge several spiral bullets, he was still unfortunately grazed by one of them, and his shoulder flap shattered instantly.

The flesh and blood in the shoulder area melted away instantly, like snow meeting the scorching midday sun in summer, revealing the blood-stained white bone beneath.

At this critical moment of life and death.

"Burning Blood!" Chen Yifei screamed desperately, his mouth full of blood and foam, as he fully activated the secret technique. His internal organs resonated violently, and the temperature of his blood rose sharply, as if it were burning in a raging fire.

This is a secret technique that all martial artists in the Great Xia Martial Arts University and the army must master. It allows them to gain unprecedented combat power by burning their own blood, lifespan, and even martial arts potential.

next moment.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
In an instant, Chen Yifei's heart began to beat at an extremely fast speed, his heart rate exceeding that of an ordinary martial artist at the Life Establishment Realm by several times.

At that moment, a novel power suddenly surged within him, and the blood that was stimulated was tinged with a faint golden light under the influence of that novel power.

boom!
Amidst a thunderous roar, Chen Yifei stomped his feet hard on the ground, using the force to fly hundreds of meters through the air, stepping on many boulders and causing them to shatter.

Then, he pressed his feet firmly against the air, as if walking on flat ground, and climbed upwards step by step, quickly ascending to a height of several thousand meters.

It disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

The Bronze Armored Wolves and the Gale Wolves both stopped. Seeing this, they roared angrily, but they were helpless because they couldn't fly, and Chen Yifei's battle armor also had the function of shielding his aura.

And in the very next second...
A round, gleaming iron ball fell from the sky, rolling into the mountains and forests, and into the midst of the ferocious beasts.

Subsequently.

"boom!"

Amidst a deafening roar that shattered eardrums, an intensely blinding white light exploded in an instant, while the bronze-armored demon wolves that had stood by indifferently were instantly vaporized.

A massive mushroom cloud instantly rose from the ground, and tall trees and boulders within a radius of several kilometers were instantly vaporized in temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, turning into ashes.

"Just wait, I'll be back." Chen Yifei fell from the sky with a pale face, barely breathing. He hurriedly took out a first-level nutritional potion from his storage ring and drank it down.

However, throughout the entire process, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he stared intently in one direction.

In the sea of ​​clouds surrounding a towering mountain peak in the direction Chen Yifei was gazing, something seemed to be shimmering with golden light, rising and falling uncertainly, hazy yet sacred.
