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

Chapter 203 Disappointment

"You don't need to call me Third Elder anymore."

thud
Lei Zhentian's heart skipped a beat. He mechanically turned his head and looked at the calm-looking Si Buhui beside him. A layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

No way?
Surely they wouldn't do that?

A thought suddenly popped into Lei Zhentian's mind that even he found utterly absurd: he had lost both his wife and his army!

The reason is simple: Si Bu Hui is not the kind of person who is polite, especially to a "stranger" and a "weakling" like Lei Zhentian. For a normal martial artist in the Opening Sea Realm, it would be considered impressive if he even glanced at them.

Not to mention being so polite.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Si Bu Hui noticed Lei Zhentian's strange gaze and sneered, "Why aren't you paying attention to your good disciple?"

"If something goes wrong during Yuwen Changkong's absorption of the world's origin due to your momentary negligence, what will happen to you?"

After saying this, Si Bu Hui chuckled coldly twice, then turned around and focused all his attention on the cultivation room.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Xie."

All of a sudden.

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhentian was startled, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He immediately regained his composure and withdrew the sliver of attention that had been diverted to him.

He completely forgot about the important matter for a moment.

Of all things under heaven, Yuwen Changkong's cultivation is of utmost importance. After all, that kid possesses the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sacred Body and has the potential to grow into a Divine Palace Realm expert in the future.

He may even be qualified to become the Grand Elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

"Hmm?" Si Bu Hui frowned unhappily, glanced at Lei Zhentian again, his face darkening slightly. He had taught him so many times, yet he still called him Third Elder.
What Third Elder? He will be an honorary teacher at the Heavenly Gang Academy from now on.

"Thank you for the reminder, Venerable One!" Lei Zhentian sensed the subtle, almost stagnant atmosphere around him and immediately changed his words without hesitation.

'I hope I'm overthinking it, otherwise this matter has really become troublesome.' Lei Zhentian felt a sudden numbness in his heart, a mix of emotions.

Since this is the underground training room of Congyun City, the communication of the smart bracelet has been blocked, so even if Lei Zhentian wanted to ask the staff inside the Starry Sky Martial Hall what exactly happened, he would have no way to do so at this time.

We have no choice but to give up for now and wait until Yuwen Changkong has finished absorbing the power of the world's origin before making any further plans.

"If things really develop as I expect, with Chang Kong around, this matter... shouldn't have too much of an impact on me."

"However, it is inevitable that we will be impeached by the other elders, which is a bit troublesome. We need to think of a way to see if we can avoid it."

In an instant, Lei Zhentian's initial joy at Yuwen Changkong obtaining the origin of the No. 98 Cave Heaven World was greatly diminished.

Inside the Starry Sky Martial Hall, because of Yuwen Changkong's powerful talent, profound potential, and high comprehension, there is a 70% to 80% probability that he can grow into a Divine Palace Realm expert.

Therefore, at the beginning, he was not the only one who wanted to be Yuwen Changkong's protector; there were even many other martial artists at the Embracing Moon Realm who were stronger than him.

Lei Zhentian was able to become Yuwen Changkong's protector simply because he happened to be near the birthplace of Yuwen Changkong at that time.

The time, place and people are favorable.

With the help of three advantageous factors, Lei Zhentian was the first to discover Yuwen Changkong, the possessor of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body, and thus became his protector.

otherwise?

Lei Zhentian was merely a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm, and his martial arts realm at the time was only at the mid-stage of the Opening Sea Realm. How could he possibly become the protector of a powerful, top-tier Manifested Sacred Body?
"I wonder how many surprises Xiao Shen will bring me this time?" Si Bu Hui thought to himself as he looked at the 9527 training room.

His eyes shone with hope, yet also with a hint of trepidation.

During this time, while carrying out the missions assigned by the Great Xia government, Si Bu Hui also retrieved all the detailed information about Shen Bai Lian from the beginning of his cultivation to the present.

Before his second year of high school, Shen Bailian was unremarkable, with no outstanding achievements. His only commendable effort was utterly insignificant compared to the martial arts prodigies like Li Feiyu and Chen Jiyue.

However, according to the summary of the Great Xia Intelligent Hub, Shen Bailian's physical fitness level and progress rate underwent a dramatic change one or two months before and after the incident of the ferocious beast Qinglin Taxue attacking the city.

It showed an almost exponential upward trend. In the later stages of martial arts apprenticeship, the speed of progress not only did not show any signs of weakening, but instead became more and more rapid.

During a trial at Sanqing Mountain before the college entrance examination, under the guidance of Kong Chaowu, the city lord of Bozhou City, Shen Bailian, Li Hongling, and other martial arts prodigies experienced a small-scale war.

War against human traitors and false gods.

Since then, Shen Bailian has had a 50% chance of unlocking some of the characteristics of the Hidden Sacred Body, and his strength has been increasing at a rate that is like a sesame seed in its rapid growth phase, rising steadily.

Of course, there is a 10-20% chance that Shen Bailian's rapid growth was due to the special ferocious beast that attacked Bozhou City—the Azure Scale Snow-Treading Beast.

The facts proved the extraordinary nature of that Azure Scale Snow-Treading Beast. Fortunately, the Bai brothers, Bai Qi and Bai Ming, encountered it by chance and cornered it.

Otherwise, if it is allowed to continue to hide and develop without being nipped in the bud, once the Azure Scale Snow-Treading Beast's abilities have fully matured, it will probably grow into a demigod-level ferocious beast in a very short time.

Moreover, it is a demigod-level ferocious beast that has adapted to the suppression of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array. The entire Northern Territory will inevitably suffer an unimaginable calamity.

As for how Si Bu Hui managed to learn about these things before Shen Bailian even became a disciple, despite the information blockade imposed by the Tiangang Academy, it remains to be seen how he managed to do so.

The reason is also very simple.

As a powerful being at the Divine Palace Realm, Si Bu Hui is already at the pinnacle of this world. Regardless of which faction in the Great Xia Dynasty he belongs to, as long as he is loyal to the human race and the Great Xia Dynasty, acknowledges the unification of the Great Xia Dynasty, and is willing to abide by the confidentiality regulations.

Anyone can obtain the highest level of access to the Great Summer Body Database and view its contents after a simple application process.

This is the privilege of the strong. After all, a strong person of this level can overturn thousands of miles of land with a single strike when enraged, possessing power that is almost godlike.

What cannot be bound by ordinary laws or mundane matters is only morality, emotion, or perhaps... the imprint of thought.

Upon learning that Shen Bailian had obtained the origin of the 98th Cave Heaven World, Si Bu Hui immediately accelerated the pace of the mission. The cleanup work, which would normally take at least a week, was completed in less than two days.

Efficiency has been improved to an unprecedented degree.

Despite rushing, Si Bu Hui was the first to arrive, following Duan Wuya's master, Shen Bailian. He wasn't entirely at ease with Cheng Shangwu, a mere Sea Opening Realm martial artist.

After all, this is the North.

"Before the mission, Xiao Shen's physical fitness level was about 19.0, which is just the late stage of the Transcendent Realm."

"Although the origin of the 98th Cave Heaven World is relatively weak due to its world energy level, and the amount of origin power he obtained is also relatively small, the improvement will not be significant." Si Bu Hui stood quietly before the door of the cultivation room, lost in thought.
"However, given Xiao Shen's talent, after nearly 72 hours of fierce fighting, coupled with the blessing of the source power, he will most likely be able to raise his physical fitness level to 19.2, and there is a small chance that he can raise it to 19.3."

Although they hadn't formally become disciples yet, and hadn't even met many times, the eager-to-learn-talented Si Bu Hui had already regarded Shen Bailian as his personal disciple, calling him Little Shen.

Although it might seem like he was being a "simp," he was happy to do it. He was certain that if the other elders of the Starry Sky Martial Hall knew about and personally witnessed Shen Bailian's martial arts talent, they would probably be even more frantic than him.

Especially Shen Xinghe, the Grand Elder of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Don't be fooled by his seemingly upright and gentlemanly appearance. In his eyes, the other elders and disciples of the Starry Sky Martial Hall are nothing but ants.

The only difference is that it's big or small.

"If he can grow up normally like this," the more he thought about it, the happier he became. He felt that he had made the right decision. He thought to himself, "Unless he encounters a fatal danger, it's already 90% certain that Xiao Shen will break through to the Divine Palace Realm."

At present, Shen Bailian's martial arts realm is still in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, in the process of transitioning to a new human. In addition, his martial arts potential is already unfathomable. As his strength grows rapidly, his martial arts potential will only become higher and higher.

Therefore, Shen Bailian's ability to easily break through to the Sea Opening Realm, and even the Moon Embracing Realm, and to upgrade his Origin Force to high-grade Origin Force... is now a foregone conclusion.

Under the influence of martial arts potential, the probability of Shen Bailian growing into a Divine Palace Realm expert is not constant, but rather in a dynamic process, and it is steadily increasing.

The reason it's not 100% is because we need to take into account...

This is also one of the many reasons why Si Bu Hui was so determined to take Shen Bailian as his disciple, even at the risk of being looked down upon by other Divine Palace Realm experts.

……

Inside the 9527 training room.

Amidst the hazy, misty starlight and primordial energy, one could vaguely see a lean man dressed in white shorts, shirtless, sitting cross-legged on a pale blue futon with his eyes closed and his face calm.

at the same time.

"Buzz~buzz~"

A pure, colorless, crystal-clear teardrop-shaped liquid floated on the boy's chest, rotating with a faint halo as it transformed into translucent threads that wrapped around his body and seeped into his skin through the pores.

The volume of that swirling droplet of liquid was also decreasing at an imperceptible rate, and was now less than one-tenth of its original size.

[Congratulations! Your Five Elements Breathing Technique skill has been upgraded. Experience points +2]

Congratulations! Your character level experience has increased by 2.

【…】

"As expected." Shen Bailian's consciousness sank into every minute part of his body, feeling the flowing primal power within, and he sighed softly:

"The primal power obtained within this No. 98 cave world, whether in terms of quantity or its effect on improving mental strength and physical fitness, is far inferior to the primal power that appears when upgrading or advancing skills."

"The most important thing is the lack of the power of rules."

After numerous experiences, Shen Bailian's perception of primordial power has become increasingly acute; he can tell whether it is pure enough simply by experiencing it.

In order to obtain first-hand information, he did not immerse himself entirely in cultivation, but instead devoted some of his attention to it.

The purpose is to observe how this primal power obtained from the outside world differs from the warm current that appears when skills are upgraded or advanced.

As a result, the findings of this exploration extinguished the burning flame in Shen Bailian's heart and diminished his desire to explore the cave world.

Busy inside and out for more than three days, almost a month had passed in the outside world. The power of the No. 98 Cave Heaven World, which Shen Bailian had high hopes for, was gone.

The efficiency was surprisingly low.

It's truly a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

Of course, this kind of complaint is only in comparison to the enhancement effect of the primal power that Shen Bailian obtained through his own primal talent.

In fact, even the primordial power of the No. 98 Cave Heaven World is considered a treasure to any top martial arts prodigy.

Because as long as there is enough source power, one can use source power to improve physical fitness and mental strength without limit, and there will be no drug resistance in the process.

What ordinary martial arts prodigies dream of is, at this stage, just an ordinary thing for Shen Bailian.

Suddenly.

Congratulations! Your physical attribute has been improved!

Congratulations! Your Spirit attribute has been improved!

Two notification messages flashed across the panel very quickly.

"It ended so quickly." Shen Bailian sensed the complete dissipation of the original power of the No. 98 Cave Heaven World in his chest, sighed slightly, and then opened his eyes, which were as bright as stars.

"Fortunately, this time it wasn't entirely fruitless. At least I'm one step closer to becoming a Sea Opening Realm expert." Shen Bailian simply stood up and stretched his body, and he felt the power within him almost overflowing.

Fortunately, he had already reached the fourth level of martial arts skill, the subtle stage; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to control this power, which was like a volcano about to erupt.

"I shouldn't be too far from leveling up my character and advancing to the Heavenly Qi Realm." Shen Bailian wasn't in a hurry to leave. His eyes flickered slightly, and his illusory yet clear control panel appeared before him—

Character Level: LV9 (2499/3000)

Physical Strength: 20.7; Spirit: 20.5

【Eight-in-One Great Sun Visualization Method LV2 (320/900)】

After advancing from the basic breathing method to the Five Elements breathing method, the speed at which I gained experience points increased dramatically. In just over a day, the Five Elements breathing method increased my experience points by 51.

Even the Iron Body skill received a meager 30 experience points.
