I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 104 I'm Coming (715)

自愈等级1→2→3→4→5。

After his self-healing level reached level five, Chen Yu was already numb.

The self-healing process is extremely slow. Most of the time, I would be punched by Teacher Zhao until I was paralyzed on one side and had internal bleeding, and then wait for my body to slowly heal itself.

The human body is truly amazing.

Over this long period of time, Chen Yu felt that his understanding of the physical body had reached a new level, and the system within his body seemed to be able to speak.

The digestive system says the urinary system is an idiot, letting it send away all the water and salt it has worked so hard to get.

The urinary system, on the other hand, says the reproductive system is the real idiot, because it's never even used yet and keeps competing with it for access.

The respiratory system would say you're all idiots, and if you keep making noise, I'm going on strike and we'll all die together!

Although he knew it was just his imagination, Chen Yu still enjoyed talking to the system inside his body, chatting about all sorts of interesting things while waiting for his body to heal itself.

Moreover, because he was injured so many times, he even gained a new skill called "Desensitization," which allows him to ignore some of the pain at each level, reaching 90% at level nine.

Now, even if every pore of his skin is bleeding from being hit, he can remain calm.

But it's really boring.

When Teacher Zhao's hallucination indicated that they could move on to the next stage, Chen Yu was completely exhausted.

However, just when he felt his heart was full of wounds and he was old and decrepit, his cultivation sent a large amount of magical power into his Dao heart, sweeping away the boredom and fatigue accumulated over the long years and making his heart lively again.

"You can do that?!" Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise. "How many secrets are you hiding?"

The Heavenly Demon Body remained silent, focusing solely on adjusting Chen Yu's state.

Once Chen Yu had fully recovered to his peak physical and mental state, Teacher Zhao's illusion reappeared, and he said to Chen Yu, "Very good, your self-healing has reached level five. After that, it's time to step on your left foot and ascend to heaven!"

"What do you mean?"

"By raising your body temperature to 57 degrees Celsius through temperature control, the self-healing effect will increase to 7.4 times its original level, keeping your body in a state that is about to collapse but has not yet collapsed. In this state, the self-healing skill will improve rapidly. Once the self-healing skill improves, you can try to increase the level of temperature control, and repeat this process continuously."

The thought of being kept at 57 degrees Celsius made Chen Yu want to die again.

Moreover, this is a dream, not reality. I am a demonic being, but I have simulated a physical body.

As long as one has sufficient magical power, one can continue cultivating without consuming nutrients.

Unable to refuse, Chen Yu watched as his body glowed red, a sign of rising body temperature.

Lying on the ground, Chen Yu felt his vision go white, as if his eyes had been roasted by the high temperature, but they were gradually recovering under the effect of self-healing.

Although it's a bit painful, this stage is actually the easiest.

My brain seems to have been roasted; I can't feel anything. Often, I just open and close my eyes, and my skill proficiency automatically increases, then I can just close my eyes again.

This went on for countless cycles until Chen Yu realized that his body seemed to be free of pain. He then saw that his self-healing had reached level nine.

Level nine is the limit for mortals, while level ten perfection is the beginning of genius.

Moreover, this skill is an inherent effect of his physical body. Under normal circumstances, even minor penetrating wounds can heal quickly, and with temperature control activated, he can even regenerate limbs.

If one were to imbue this skill with magical insights, one would be like a salamander, able to move for a long time even with a shattered heart, and even regenerate one.

Temperature control has reached level nine, with the highest adjustable temperature limit reaching thirty-six degrees Celsius, and physical skills have increased twenty-eight times.

However, this is a theoretical value; in reality, nutritional and energy considerations will inevitably take into account, but it is still quite alarming. Seeing Chen Yu now, Teacher Zhao's illusion revealed a satisfied smile.

"Not bad. Chen Yu, you really didn't disappoint me! Now, we'll move on to the next stage, which is the complete form of the system's combat tactics! This technique is called 'combined elimination and attack'."

"I know that. One of the key points in actual combat is to attack while simultaneously neutralizing the enemy's attacks."

"That's right, attack with one hand and neutralize with the other. Once you're proficient, you can attack with your whole body and neutralize with your whole body. But with the support of the system's combat tactics, the technique of attacking and neutralizing at the same time will become even more demanding. All your reactions must be completed within one ten-thousandth of a second, and your body's coordination must reach the upper limit of the human body in order to adapt to the high-temperature environment. Now, we will lower our body temperature to 55 degrees."

When the temperature was lowered to 55 degrees, Chen Yu immediately felt that the surrounding temperature had increased slightly, but it still felt very cool.

Having grown accustomed to a world of 72 degrees Celsius, the sudden drop to 55 degrees Celsius was surprisingly unsettling for him.

Then, Teacher Zhao got into a fighting stance and said to Chen Yu, "Now, let's start fighting. In this state, the skill levels of various martial arts don't need to be too high, even level one is fine. As long as you master all the basic martial arts, then in this body temperature, no one of the same level can defeat you."

"Of course."

Although it wasn't their first match, Chen Yu realized he had underestimated Teacher Zhao once again once the game officially began.

After activating the system's combat tactics, Teacher Zhao becomes a humanoid puppet, an invincible martial god.

Then came a perfectly executed punch, and any kick could send someone's soul flying.

In terms of martial arts, Teacher Zhao has reached an astonishing level, which has also prompted Chen Yu to continuously improve his reaction and understanding of martial arts.

Under the guidance of Teacher Zhao's illusion, Chen Yu felt his martial arts skills improving rapidly. He gradually became familiar with his body under the high temperature, which then became part of his own understanding.

But once he got used to the high-temperature environment, new changes occurred.

The body needs to adapt to the burden of rapid changes, sometimes adjusting its temperature to seventy degrees Celsius and sometimes lowering it to ten degrees Celsius.

The constant changes ravaged his body, yet also propelled his self-healing abilities to new heights. Although he didn't reach level ten, Chen Yu felt that his self-healing abilities had taken another step forward.

When the illusion of Teacher Zhao shared this question with him, the other party showed a satisfied expression.

“You’re right. Level nine is just a value given by the Data Star Lord, and there are still fluctuations in the upper and lower limits. Once you exceed the Data Star Lord’s quantitative range, then you reach the level ten perfection. But you must remember, level ten is level ten, and perfection is perfection. Unless a transformation occurs, there is no possibility of further improvement.”

Why is that?

"I don't know either, but I've been investigating. Alright, Chen Yu, today you can graduate."

"Hey, is it ready already?"

"You might want to take a look at your own panel."

Upon opening the panel, Chen Yu discovered that all the emotions he had accumulated had been dissipated without him even realizing it.

The previous 1.8 million positive mana has been completely purified, and his non-attribute mana has accumulated to 480,000.

Looking at the remaining magic power, Chen Yu was filled with mixed emotions.

Looking at his system combat tactics, which were already at level nine, Chen Yu knew that he had unknowingly achieved them.

He clenched his fist and slowly raised his body temperature until his blood was about to boil and every muscle was full of power.

The power had already gathered within him, yet his mind was incredibly peaceful.

Xu Zilong, I'm coming to beat you up!
