Free Web NovelChapter 5: Talent Skyrockets
The dark sphere started cracking, and a bright purple light shone through the center of the sphere.
As it continued, the solid particles of the dark sphere began to break apart.
Marx didn’t know how much time had passed.
The process wasn’t fast. From the formation of the dark sphere to its breaking, the entire process was too long.
Fortunately, Marx had been cultivating non-stop for days, even weeks, just to find a way to break through the fourth stage.
So, he was able to keep calm while focusing all of his concentration on absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones.
The more he absorbed, the bigger that sphere would become. By the time it broke, the sphere was almost five times the size of his head.
As it collapsed, a large amount of purple energy began to overflow from his Dantian.
Fortunately, most of that was used on a purple root at the middle of his Dantian.
This root was nearly six inches long and had small stems coming out of it. Because of its purple color, it looked dark and eerie.
At the same time, a new piece of information hit his brain.
[Devouring Spiritual Root: A special kind of spiritual root contains the power to devour Heaven and Earth.]
Devouring Spiritual Root allowed him to cultivate dark spells and martial arts. It also allowed him to learn or create special spells related to devouring.
More importantly, by absorbing others’ spiritual roots, he could also gain their spiritual root attributes.
At this moment, he quickly thought.
’System, help me accept Innate Dao Body!’
[Yes, Host]
A voice rang in his head, and the next moment, Marx felt an incredible energy flowing through his veins.
This energy was so over the top that he could feel every inch of his body squirm.
The energy was transforming his cells, changing his body parts, and even his skin. The process was slow but not painful.
As if Marx was blessed by some kind of protection, he didn’t feel any pain during this transformation.
This feeling was indescribable. The only way he could describe it was through imagination.
Whenever he had a severe headache, he would feel like he should open his head, clean everything around his brain, and close it to feel better.
He wouldn’t do such a stupid thing, but that imaginative feeling was the only feeling he could use to describe his current situation.
After a few minutes, he felt like his brain had suddenly cleared up.
The immense amount of spiritual energy began pouring into his body, but somehow he didn’t lose control of it.
This energy kept moving through several veins, reaching a specific meridian.
Before he could even think much, the meridian was cleared by this energy, and all of it entered his Dantian.
Inside his Dantian, there were three large vortices surrounding the purple spiritual root.
After this spiritual energy was pulled into the spiritual root, it began to produce new Qi.
Being the practitioner of the Great Evolution Technique, Marx realized something special about this Qi.
It was six times better than his previous Qi.
That might sound normal considering his spiritual root’s evolution, but his spiritual root was only a Mid-Grade.
From standard rules of Qi quality measurement, it should only be three times better.
So, that doubling effect was due to the technique.
Thinking about it, he couldn’t wait to feel the effects of the Innate Dao Body. It hadn’t affected his Qi yet.
So while merging with this body, he had also activated the cultivation technique to absorb the spiritual energy into the body.
Unlike before, his body began absorbing spiritual energy from kilometers away.
Any spiritual energy within this range was being absorbed into his body.
What’s even more ridiculous is the fact that despite absorbing so much energy, his body showed no sign of being overloaded.
Normally, this kind of absorption would’ve destroyed his meridians and blood vessels. But Innate Dao Body was inherently stronger.
This was what being born with everything meant.
Just because someone had a special physique, they could even break the established rules of the universe.
But some rules couldn’t be broken.
Even though his body wasn’t damaged, his Dantian was quickly overwhelmed, forcing him to stop his cultivation technique.
The overflowing spiritual energy remained within his body.
At this moment, the system spirit’s voice rang in his head.
[Host, would you like to inherit the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Technique?]
[Since your body is overloaded with spiritual energy, why not use it to temper your body?]
’This....is actually a good suggestion. Now, I am beginning to accept the small cut you take after the SP-to-GP transaction.’
Upon receiving his confirmation, the system spirit immediately opened the inventory and said.
[Host, you still need to confirm or give a command!]
’Oh? Of course, I’ll say yes!’
Without much hesitation, he mentally accepted the confirmation, and an intense amount of information began to pile up in his mind.
Fortunately, he had already gone through something similar before, so he was easily able to accept this much information.
At the same time, he also realized something.
Inside his Dantian, despite having a mid-grade spiritual root, the speed of refining Qi wasn’t that fast.
If he continued with this speed, he was pretty sure that it would take him days to reach the fourth stage.
Fortunately, the active effects of his Innate Dao Body began to affect him.
His comprehension and cultivation speed skyrocketed, allowing his spiritual root to work overtime.
At the same time, his mind gradually began to comprehend the lightning element.
In just a few hours, he had perfected the first stage of the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Technique.
When the information about the technique entered his mind, he could directly start using this technique.
But instead of doing that, he began to comprehend it. He did this to test the effects of his Innate Dao Body. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The effects were quite crazy. In just a few hours, he managed to reach perfection in the first stage.
The first stage wasn’t about tempering his body but rather understanding the lightning element.
Only by understanding the lightning element could one use the lightning to temper their bodies; otherwise, they could cause some serious destruction to their bodies.
Of course, as mentioned before, even if he hadn’t perfected the first stage, he could still transform spiritual energy into lightning. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
That’s right! This technique could directly transform the spiritual energy into lightning energy, allowing him to bypass the slow process of refining Qi.
This was a perfect body-tempering technique for someone with a mid-grade spiritual root and Innate Dao Body.
At the same time, he realized his cultivation had reached the fourth stage.
Boom!
Inside his Dantian, the fourth vortex emerged.
Not only that, the size of the space inside his Dantian increased from the size of a small room to a house.
At the same time, his cultivation technique involuntarily activated, pulling in a large amount of spiritual energy into his body.
Most of this spiritual energy entered the fifth meridian, while the remaining spiritual energy transformed into a lightning element.
"Argh!"
Marx gritted his teeth, feeling the shock all over his body. The electrifying effects were quite disastrous.
If he hadn’t faced more pain than this before, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on.
’I guess those struggling moments have their own advantages.’
Marx smiled bitterly, then his eyes blazed with determination.
The lightning energy traveled through every cell in his body, constantly trying to push the destruction and regeneration process of cells to a whole new level.
By going through this process with the lightning energy, the new cells would be much stronger than before.
This was the simple process that anybody could use to make a strong body.
But with cultivation, it had a more meaningful impact.
For example, he was gaining the same strength in an hour that it would take a mortal bodybuilder a week.
This kind of upgrade was crazy, but what’s even crazier is his cultivation.
It took him less than three to four hours to go from the third stage to the fourth stage.
That made complete sense.
But after he started his body cultivation, he had been counting seconds to distract himself from the pain.
Currently, fifteen hours had passed, and his dantian was already showing signs of producing the fifth Qi Vortex.
’At this rate, I will only stop at the sixth stage. Just a few days ago, I was trying so hard to reach the fourth stage.’
’Now, I am feeling troubled even reaching the sixth stage. Is this what ’happiness comes suddenly’ means?’
Marx got so distracted by his own cultivation speed that he stopped counting seconds, completely forgetting how much time had passed.
’Now that my body has begun to adjust, I feel like I am reaching the second stage of Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Technique.’
’If I can reach that level, I might be able to fight the peak Qi Sea Realm with just the early level of the second stage.’
’Sure enough! Lightning is the most combat-oriented element.’
