The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Time flies.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Lying flat value: 4021
Divine Power: 25.5
Super Armor: (1/100)

Soul element: 40933
Realm: Level 8 Soul Master, True God

After three months, Zhang Lingfeng finally added the cultivation method passed down from the Divine Academy, also known as the Overlord Body, that Master Ou had given him to his panel.

According to Master Ou's explanation, if the Overlord Body is cultivated to its peak, it can directly reach the level of a lower god, surpassing the level nine divine body.

At first, Zhang Lingfeng was somewhat distrustful.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Invincible Body was added to the panel, my divine power increased by 10.0, which is much more than the divine power I gained from eating divine rice over the years.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhang Lingfeng did not refine the divine rice.

In order to put the practice of lying flat into practice to the end, he tried his best not to cultivate.

Even when it comes to collecting cultivation techniques, it's done slowly, spending time each day reviewing and learning new things. There's absolutely no getting bogged down in it; the goal is to collect them into the panel within a few days.

Otherwise, given Zhang Lingfeng's talent, he could probably add the Invincible Body to his stats in a month or two.

Successfully added the Invincible Body skill to the panel.

Zhang Lingfeng began to try using the "lying flat" value to increase his invincibility stat.

He added 2,000 points of "lying flat" value to the "Overlord Body" skill in one go.

Lying flat value: 2021
Super Armor: (6/100)

Divine Power: 75.5
Realm: Level 8 Soul Master, True God

The panel has changed.

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that the exchange rate for the Overlord Body Cultivation Method was 400 Lying Flat Points to exchange for one value, and one value could even be exchanged for 10.0 Divine Power.

He then added another 2000 points to the "lying flat" value.

Lying flat value: 21
Super Armor: (11/100)

Divine Power: 125.5
Realm: Level 8 Soul Master, Level 2 True God

Zhang Lingfeng looked excited.

Master Ou instructed him to become a Level Two True God within five years using the Overlord Body Cultivation Method, but he himself only took three months to cultivate and become a Level Two True God.

The divine power value exceeds 100.0.

He could also intuitively feel the fluctuations of divine power within his body and the changes that occurred in his divine body. If he were to return to the ocean and face the situation of that day, he might be able to leap from the ocean onto the cargo ship without using his soul power, at Old He's command.

This is the power of divine strength and divine body.

Whether it's speed, strength, or even the body's recovery and defense capabilities, all have been effectively improved. Zhang Lingfeng felt that every 1.0 increase in divine power was equivalent to gaining the life force of a star field.

He found it hard to imagine what kind of divine power the unseen god-level expert who controlled the cargo ship to fly in the air that day possessed.

A defensive deity, with just a glance, caused his divine power to automatically ignite, almost refining him on the spot.

That terrifying power was not simply a outpouring of divine power, but rather as if the divine power within his body could be controlled remotely, causing his divine power to burn automatically.

It is a terrifying existence.

"Business at sea is getting harder and harder."

"The number of people in the courtyard is increasing. If this continues, even if we can go out to sea frequently, the divine rice we earn will not be enough to cover our expenses."

Uncle Ou sighed.

"I've been wandering around the market lately, and I should be able to get a big order soon."

Old Ou said.

"No, it's best not to. The bigger the order, the easier it is for something to go wrong."

Mr. Ou shook his head.

The strongest member of their Ou family's fleet is only an eighth-level True God, while Ou himself is only a seventh-level True God.

If the goods being transported are too valuable, a level nine true god must be invited to oversee the operation.

A large portion of the commission is given to the other party, so the profit is not high and the risk is great. It's better not to escort them at all.

“The Zhang Lingfeng you brought back is no good at all. Let him go. With his attitude towards cultivation, even if he becomes an eighth-level Soul Yuan Master, he will never become a blacksmith, let alone be favored by a Divine Inscription Master. Otherwise, I was planning to take him to find my old friend when he becomes a second-level True God. Now it seems that this good relationship will not be formed.”

"That's what Master Ou said."

There were too many people, and the fleet was running out of money.

We need to lay off employees immediately.

Let's take Zhang Lingfeng as an example.

Zhang Lingfeng, an eighth-level Soul Master with the potential to become a blacksmith, was also dismissed, leaving the others speechless.

"Should we observe for a while longer?"

Old Ou suggested.

He could also see that Zhang Lingfeng was carefree and idle all day long, and even the divine rice he was given didn't really refine after eating it.

But thinking back, the other party was an eighth-level Soul Master. If they didn't have talent and ability, how could they have become an eighth-level Soul Master?

I wanted to keep an eye on things for a while longer.

What if a miracle happens?
"Observe my ass. I observe him every day and I've never seen him cultivate seriously. Let alone the difficult-to-cultivate Overlord Body, even the cheapest Divine Body can't evolve."

This kind of person is hopeless. We can't let him waste any more sacred rice; let him get out of here!

"I'm disgusted," said Master Ou.

Old Ou was still a little reluctant to part with it.

“If Father is embarrassed, let me go and say it.”

Ou Jinhao said.

The grandfather, his grandson, and his granddaughter were discussing something.

Au Kam-ho will be the next captain of the Au family fleet and the successor to the old Au.

Many years ago, I lived on the boat with Lao Ou.

Busy before and after busy.

He is very knowledgeable about things on ships and at sea.

I often go to the market and occasionally manage to pick up some orders.

"Alright, go ahead and let him go. Give him three days to find a place, and don't get into any conflict with him. Also, give him ten divine stones to get rid of him."

"That's what Master Ou said."

He was also afraid that Zhang Lingfeng would become a blacksmith in the future, and that he might misjudge Zhang Lingfeng and offend him, so he wanted to part ways with Zhang Lingfeng amicably.

Ten?

Ou Jinhao was somewhat surprised.

Ten divine stones can buy half a year's worth of divine rice, enough to rent a house and live in Baidi City for quite some time.

Old Ou hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He was willing to give Zhang Lingfeng ten divine stones, but it would be better to keep Zhang Lingfeng around for another six months or a year. However, he also knew that he was afraid Zhang Lingfeng would still be the same after a year.

When we dismiss him, we'll have to give him another ten divine stones.

After all, everyone was afraid that Zhang Lingfeng would become a blacksmith in the future, so even though he was lax in his attitude and often slacked off, Lao He and the others did not dare to criticize Zhang Lingfeng to his face, but would only talk about him behind his back.

On the surface, they remained polite to each other.

"Yes, give it to him to avoid trouble later."

Master Ou nodded. If Zhang Lingfeng really becomes a blacksmith in the future, he might give the Ou family an opportunity because of the effect of these ten divine stones, or help the Ou family at a critical moment.

"Fine, he got off easy."

Ou Jinhao was helpless and indignant.

Ten divine stones is a considerable expense, one that even he wouldn't normally be willing to spend. Now, however, he's giving them to a lazy person who has no regard for the fleet's well-being. You can imagine how resentful Ou Jinhao must be.

However, considering the future, Ou Jinhao composed himself and approached Zhang Lingfeng in a relatively calm manner.

As it turned out, only Lao He and the others were cultivating inside the room.

Zhang Lingfeng, who usually lies to the side playing cards or taking a nap, was nowhere to be seen. It was only after asking that we learned that Zhang Lingfeng was in the backyard.

Ou Jinhao had no choice but to go to the backyard.

I saw Zhang Lingfeng soaking in a large water tank, his eyes covered with a towel, his head resting on the edge of the tank, enjoying the bath and sunbathing, looking very comfortable.

Ou Jinhao was furious.

As the young master of the Ou family fleet, he had never been so carefree. He was either running errands in the market or cultivating diligently, hoping to one day achieve an eighth-level divine body like his grandfather, or even a ninth-level divine body.

How could anyone be like Zhang Lingfeng, who does nothing all day, soaks in a water vat and sunbathes, yet still has people to worship him? Even if he were to be sent away, someone would still send him ten divine stones.

The father even instructed that if Zhang Lingfeng needed to find a place to stay, he could help him find a cheap place.

Ou Jinhao was furious and wanted to kick the water tank to pieces, but he held back and instead grabbed the towel on Zhang Lingfeng's face, wanting to tear it off.

The towel felt like a knife scraping across Zhang Lingfeng's face, causing him to wince in pain.

"Rip!" The towel was ripped off by Ou Jinhao.

Ou Jinhao used his divine power.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Lingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

Ou Jinhao is more skilled than him.

He possesses the power of a level four divine body.

I let this guy get away with it without even realizing it.

Fortunately, his physical body had already become a level two divine body. When Ou Jinhao forcefully pulled the towel away, Zhang Lingfeng's face only blushed, and the blush quickly faded.

He was upset because someone was disturbing his bath and sunbathing.

"Oh, young master Ou."

When Zhang Lingfeng turned around and saw that it was Ou Jinhao, his temper subsided.

This guy is the young master, and he usually can't stand me being idle all day. So, he must have something to say to me that he suddenly came to see me.

"What are you doing soaking in a water tank?"

Ou Jinhao said angrily.

Curious, Zhang Lingfeng's face was completely unharmed.

That's really good at enduring things.

I went too lightly.

"The weather is perfect, a bath will help me relax, everything is just right."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

"Come out here."

Ou Jinhao said.

"Young Master Ou also wants to woo her?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked in confusion.

"No bathing is allowed here. If the cargo owners see this, they'll think that none of the ships in our Ou family's fleet are decent."

Ou Jinhao said angrily.

"Ok."

Zhang Lingfeng had no choice but to get out of the water tank.

Standing soaking wet in front of Ou Jinhao, Zhang Lingfeng could easily wipe away the water droplets with a little divine power, but he liked the feeling of being completely soaked with his shorts sticking to his skin.

Ou Jinhao grew angrier the more he looked at it.

He tossed the bag containing ten divine stones into Zhang Lingfeng's hand and said, "This is from my grandfather. He said..."

"The Divine Stone?"

Zhang Lingfeng was taken aback.

So many divine stones?
He instinctively thought that Master Ou knew he had made a breakthrough and had sent Ou Jinhao over to reward him.

However, Ou Jinhao was very unhappy because he was able to receive such a generous reward despite having nothing to do all day.

"Master Ou is too good to me. I didn't expect that he would reward me with ten divine stones right after my breakthrough."

Zhang Lingfeng was deeply moved.

Zhang Lingfeng abruptly interrupted Ou Jinhao's words.

Still somewhat taken aback, he asked, "What did you say? You broke through?"

"Yes, the Invincible Body effect is great. I now possess a Level 2 Divine Body."

Zhang Lingfeng channeled his divine power, revealing his level-two divine body to Ou Jinhao.

Ou Jinhao is only a fourth-level True God after all, so he certainly doesn't have the same level of perception as Master Ou.

"you……"

Ou Jinhao was stunned.

He remembered his grandfather saying that Zhang Lingfeng's first-level divine body was very inferior, with a divine power value of only a dozen or so, and his domineering body was very difficult to cultivate.

The five-year timeframe for obtaining a Level Two Divine Body is extremely demanding. We don't expect him to complete it within five years; we just hope he can make some progress. If he can't do it in five years, it would be good if he could succeed in ten.

Unexpectedly, he broke through in just three months.

"What? Did Master Ou ask you to give me the divine stone not because you broke through?"

Zhang Lingfeng realized something was wrong.

Giving him ten divine stones for free is equivalent to consuming divine rice for half a year.

Zhang Lingfeng never imagined that this was severance pay.

"Of course it's because I broke through. When my grandpa told me something, I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. Hahaha, you're busy. You can continue taking a bath. I won't bother you anymore. Hahaha."

After regaining his senses, Ou Jinhao hurriedly explained.

The way they looked at Zhang Lingfeng suddenly became much more agreeable.

Within three months, he cultivated the Overlord Body to the level two divine body. With such talent, even if he cannot become a blacksmith in the future, he has a high probability of becoming a level seven or eight true god, or even a level nine true god.

Such people should not be easily offended.

"Then please ask Young Master Ou to thank Master Ou for me. After I finish my bath and change my clothes, I will go and thank Master Ou."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

"Haha, you go ahead and do your thing."

Ou Jinhao left with a smile.

Zhang Lingfeng was soaked in the water tank again.

Weighing the ten divine stones, he couldn't help but say, "Since arriving in White Emperor City, I haven't had a chance to go out and have some fun. With these ten divine stones, I can finally go out and see what this world is like."

"I wonder if there are any decent entertainment venues where I can relax and have some fun and earn more 'lying down points'."

Zhang Lingfeng said expectantly.

"grandfather."

"Father."

Ou Jinhao suppressed his excitement and jogged back.

The courtyard house is a three-section courtyard, and it's not very big.

Master Ou usually lives in the inner courtyard.

Zhang Lingfeng and Lao He both live in the outer courtyard.

The Intermediate Court was where Ou Jinhao and Lao Ou lived, along with some meeting rooms and dining areas, etc.

Mr. Ou frowned.

Judging from Ou Jinhao's expression, does Zhang Lingfeng not want to leave, thinking that the divine stones given are not enough?

But he wasn't in a hurry; instead, he waited for Au Kam-ho to explain.

"Grandpa, Father, Zhang Lingfeng isn't leaving. Oh no, we can't let Zhang Lingfeng leave."

Ou Jinhao said excitedly.

"Did he do something bad?"

Old Ou said nervously.

Ouye sensed something was wrong.

"No, it's that Zhang Lingfeng really has a chance to become a blacksmith; he's broken through."

Ou Jinhao said excitedly.

"He's become a level nine Soul Master?"

"Master Ou asked."

"No, he has cultivated a level two divine body. I saw it with my own eyes."

Ou Jinhao explained.

"A level two divine body? What did you say?"

Ou Ye looked disdainful. How could a level two divine body compare to the value of a level nine soul master? But then he thought about how long Zhang Lingfeng had been using the Overlord Body Cultivation Method. It had only been about three months, yet he had already obtained a level two divine body. Such talent was terrifying!

"Where is he now?"

Old Ou also realized the key point.

"Taking a bath in the backyard!"

Ou Jinhao's words almost made Master Ou and Old Master Ou stumble, but they couldn't help but quicken their pace and run towards the backyard to investigate. (End of Chapter)
