Free Web NovelChapter 671: Chapter 670: Quasi-Saint Body
Lin Xuan returned to the dormitory area. As soon as he got back, he encountered Jin Ze.
Lin Xuan just glanced at him, originally not intending to pay him any mind, but Jin Ze walked over with a smug expression and said, "Kid, I’ve already earned 1,000 points."
"Only 1,000 points?" Lin Xuan shook his head. That’s too little.
Jin Ze snorted coldly. "What are you so arrogant about? You’re just a pretty boy; your points were given to you by someone else. But I’m different. I earned these 1,000 points myself."
Lin Xuan laughed after hearing this. "That’s still too little. I’ve already earned 3,000 points."
Jin Ze was stunned. What? 3,000 points? He then sneered. What a joke!
"You, a four-star Grandmaster and a Dragon Warrior with no future, how could you possibly earn 3,000 points by yourself?"
Jin Ze didn’t believe it at all. He had undertaken missions before and knew that the missions at the Sacred Institute were very difficult. He himself had struggled just to get 1,000 points. He refused to believe Lin Xuan could obtain 3,000 points in such a short amount of time. It was an absolute impossibility.
"What would a frog in a well like you know?" Lin Xuan shook his head and ignored him.
Jin Ze was completely furious. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Don’t be arrogant. The new student assembly is in half a month. When the time comes, I’ll show you what a real genius is!"
Without turning his head, Lin Xuan said, "First place in the new student assembly is definitely mine." He knew that the first-place winner would receive 5,000 points, an opportunity he absolutely wouldn’t miss.
"Yours? Dream on. First place is definitely mine," Jin Ze said confidently.
He was now a two-star Grandmaster, and having just obtained 1,000 points, he could exchange them for the treasures he needed for his cultivation. In half a month, he would be even stronger. He didn’t believe Lin Xuan could possibly be his opponent.
"Kid, we’ll see!" Jin Ze snorted coldly, then returned to his dormitory to begin his closed-door cultivation.
He wanted to train his physique. His physique had an extraordinary origin, known as the Golden Thunder Body. This was a top-grade Spirit Body.
Spirit Bodies were divided into four tiers: lower, middle, upper, and top-grade. Above the top-grade Spirit Body was the Saint Body, and above the Saint Body was the Divine Body.
However, Saint Bodies were very rare. Anyone who possessed a Saint Body was an extremely top-tier existence. In a Holy Land, they would be existences on the level of a Saint Heir. As for the Divine Body, one had not appeared in many years. It is said that only a Great Emperor possesses a Divine Body.
Normally, for a physique to evolve, such as from a Spirit Body to a Saint Body, is extremely difficult. Some Martial Artists had become Martial Emperors, yet their physique remained a Spirit Body. Some had even become Venerables, more powerful than Martial Emperors, and their physique was still just a Spirit Body. It was just that they had refined their Spirit Body to an extremely profound level. But no matter how profound, it was still just a Spirit Body, not a Saint Body.
The transformation from Spirit Body to Saint Body is not considered an enhancement; it is an evolution. Enhancing a physique is easy, but evolution is incredibly difficult. Every evolution is akin to a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate.
Once the evolution succeeds, the physique undergoes a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation. Whether it’s defense, strength, or vitality, everything improves by a huge margin.
Speaking of evolution, one had to mention Dragon Warriors. The physique cultivated by Dragon Warriors was the Dragon Body, a very special type of physique. They initially started as ordinary Spirit Bodies but could continuously evolve. They could evolve into a Saint Body, and even into a Divine Body. For other physiques, evolving even once was a matter of extreme luck. Yet, the ancient Dragon Warriors could evolve continuously, a feat that was truly against the heavens.
It was said that long ago, a Dragon Warrior cultivated to become a Great Emperor. His physique was a peerless Divine Body that swept across the heavens and earth, completely unrivaled. Perhaps it was because Dragon Warriors were so heaven-defying, able to evolve continuously, that they were suppressed by the heavens. As a result, the path of the Dragon Warrior is now broken.
This Lin Xuan was also a Dragon Warrior. But in Jin Ze’s view, Lin Xuan’s Dragon Body was only at the level of a Spirit Body—an upper-grade Spirit Body at best. It was still inferior to his own. Of course, if a Dragon Warrior could actually cultivate, they would surely surpass him in the future. But alas, the path of the Dragon Warrior was already broken. His opponent had no way to continue cultivating, so he was absolutely no match for him.
Kid, when the new student assembly arrives, I’ll crush you under my heel, Jin Ze snorted coldly to himself, then began cultivating his Golden Thunder Spirit Body.
「On the other side,」
Lin Xuan also returned to his courtyard. After getting back, he adjusted his condition. Once he reached his peak state, he prepared to cultivate his physique.
His Ten Thousand Dragon Body had already reached the second realm, equivalent to a top-grade Spirit Body. However, he had now obtained two Seven Star Dragon Willow Fruits, so his Ten Thousand Dragon Body could continue to improve.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan took out a Dragon Willow Fruit and consumed it. A powerful surge of Dragon Dao Power erupted from within him. Lin Xuan hurriedly activated the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique to absorb this power.
Five days passed in this manner.
Lin Xuan absorbed the power of the Dragon Willow Fruit, and his physique had once again improved by a large margin. Lin Xuan was extremely excited. He also consumed the second Dragon Willow Fruit.
And so, another five days passed.
Lin Xuan’s physique grew stronger once more. Although he didn’t break through to the third layer and was still in the second layer of the Ten Thousand Dragon Body, it had improved significantly compared to before.
Lin Xuan’s current physique had surpassed that of a top-grade Spirit Body. He had evolved to the level of a Half-Saint Physique. This made him overjoyed. This power was so much stronger than before.
Not only that, but his cultivation also broke through, reaching the Five-star Grandmaster realm. His combat power now surpassed that of a two-star Grandmaster, reaching the level of a three-star Grandmaster.
Excellent! Lin Xuan was ecstatic.
The big black dog said, "When your Ten Thousand Dragon Body breaks through to the third layer, you will evolve into a true Saint Body."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan clenched his fists. He was determined to find more Dragon Dao Power to continue evolving his Ten Thousand Dragon Body.
「Meanwhile,」
As he broke through from the peak of a top-grade Spirit Body to the Half-Saint Physique realm, a phenomenon appeared in the sky.
Thunder gathered above the Sacred Institute, erupting with a deafening roar and forming a massive thundercloud. Within that cloud, a destructive power began to condense.
Below, the disciples of the Sacred Institute looked up at the sky. A collective uproar ensued at the sight.
"What’s going on? Why are thunderclouds forming?"
"Don’t tell me someone is undergoing a tribulation!"
"Damn, could one of those monstrous prodigies have caused this thundercloud?"
The disciples exclaimed one after another. Even the elders were alarmed. They also looked up at the sky, and they too cried out in shock at the scene.
Is this a thunder tribulation? No, that’s not right. This isn’t a tribulation; it’s a heaven and earth phenomenon.
These elders were powerful, and their insight was more profound. They realized at a glance that this wasn’t a tribulation, but a legendary heaven and earth phenomenon.
Sure enough, within the thundercloud, a golden light appeared, forming a golden lotus that bloomed in the sky.
This phenomenon caused countless disciples to exclaim, "What is this?"
The new students were particularly amazed because they found this golden lotus was blooming right above their residential area.
Some senior students spoke with uncertainty, "This is the Golden Flower Gathering at the Crown."
"Damn it! Is someone’s physique evolving into a Saint Body?"
"I heard that when a Saint Body is successfully formed, it causes the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, with three golden lotuses forming in the sky, illuminating all directions!"
"That’s right," another senior student said. "I’ve seen Brother Nie complete his Saint Body. That was the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown."
"Brother Nie is now number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking. His Heaven’s Saint Body is incredibly powerful."
"I can’t believe that after so many years, someone else in our Sacred Institute is about to complete a Saint Body!"
Cries of astonishment rang out. These senior students knew just how powerful the Heaven’s Saint Body was; it had swept away countless prodigies! Nie Tian, the one they called Brother Nie, was the current number one ranked master on the Azure Cloud Ranking. His Heaven’s Saint Body suppressed all opposition. Who could this lucky person be, about to condense a second Saint Body?
Someone else said, "That’s not right, why is there only one golden flower? Isn’t it supposed to be the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown?"
"I don’t know what’s going on either," those senior students scratched their heads as well. After all, they had only ever seen the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown once.
At this moment, the elders rushed over. A core elder laughed excitedly and said, "This is a Quasi-Saint Body!"
"Someone’s physique has evolved from a top-grade Spirit Body to the Quasi-Saint Body realm! Although it’s not a complete Saint Body, this person has already taken the most crucial step. They’re bound to achieve a true Saint Body in the future!"
Everyone suddenly understood. So it was a Quasi-Saint Body! No wonder there was only one golden flower. Still, this was already an unbelievable achievement. This physique was sure to become a true Saint Body in the future. This marked the rise of another peerless prodigy! I wonder who it could be?
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
The elders said, "There’s no need to guess. The golden flower is located toward the fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Array. It must be a new student who has broken through to become a Quasi-Saint Body."
Back in the new student area, a huge commotion erupted among the new students when they heard this.
What? One of them had broken through to become a Quasi-Saint Body? Who could it be? Who was so extraordinary?
They all began to speculate wildly.
Just then, someone said, "It must be Jin Ze! His physique is the Golden Thunder Body, which was already a top-grade Spirit Body to begin with! And recently, he acquired 1,000 points. It’s said he exchanged them for a Golden Spirit Fruit. I reckon he consumed the Golden Spirit Fruit, causing his Spirit Body to break through and become a Quasi-Saint Body!"
The arriving core elders heard this and nodded in sudden realization. It seemed the one who achieved the Quasi-Saint Body was indeed this Jin Ze. They immediately decided to accept Jin Ze as their disciple.
Everyone was filled with envy upon hearing this. Jin Ze was about to soar to the heavens.
