Chapter 313: Devour
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The importance of a safe and stable environment for Lu Ming could not be overstated.
And the Boshi Tower was a perfect fit for all of Lu Ming’s needs.
It was a divine artifact in itself, with Jiu Han, a Divine Spirit Realm expert guarding it, and he was also his teacher.
Resources were abundant, and there were people to take care of his daily needs.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming believed that this place might be the best training ground for him – the conditions were even better than his family home in Nanxiang City.
“Yan?”
Lu Ming had just spoken, Yan’s figure appeared next to him out of thin air.
“Senior Brother, why did you call me?”
“I need some Flamestones. Do you have them here?”
Yan smiled and said, “We have plenty of Flamestones.”
The Three Elements Academy naturally did not lack Flamestones which were a cheap commodity. They might not be available in the Boshi Tower, but that was only because these things were too common and took up s.p.a.ce in the Boshi Tower.
In less than ten minutes, Yan brought over more than a ton of Flamestones.
Together with Yan, they spread the Flamestones on the ground, and Lu Ming sat cross-legged, and entered the void s.p.a.ce.
In another private residence.
Lin Feng was about to rest and prepare for the afternoon formal lesson when he suddenly thought of something.
He turned to look at Shi.
“Junior Brother, do you know what Junior Brother Lu Ming is doing now?”
“Of course I know,” the child-like Shi replied. Then, he said, “Brother Yan said that Senior Brother Lu has already begun to enter seclusion to cultivate.”
Lin Feng could not help but gasp…
He inexplicably felt very pressured.
Just think about it, the two of them had entered the academy school at the same time and became the disciples of the same teacher. As for teachers, they naturally favored diligent and outstanding students.
Lu Ming already had better talent than him and worked even harder, which meant Lu Ming would undoubtedly receive more attention from Jiu Han, potentially leaving him neglected.
This was not conducive to his mission.
And it was the root of why Lin Feng wanted to get rid of Lu Ming.
After thinking it over, Lin Feng could not help but sigh.
“I need some Cold Jade for my cultivation.”
Shi nodded and went to fetch it, leaving Lin Feng alone in the room, feeling depressed…
His innate talent for source power skill was not great, and his main advantage lay in his mysterious luck.
To be honest, making Lin Feng cultivate diligently was less effective than letting him venture outside. Cultivating in seclusion was not the best use of his time and effort….
But what can 1 do?
What choice do I have?
As the saying went, there was no harm without comparison. Lu Ming was diligently cultivating while Lin Feng had nothing to do. Wouldn’t this make him seem very useless and lacking in ambition?
His body trembled involuntarily.
Lin Feng vaguely sensed the horrors of compet.i.tion within….
At this moment, with three to four hours before the afternoon. Lu Ming would not waste this time.
The moment he entered the void s.p.a.ce, Lu Ming immediately began his cultivation.
Body forging technique, Body Protective technique, Source Power skill…
For Lu Ming, three to four hours in the outside world equated to more than three days!
Simultaneously with Lu Ming’s cultivation, his body began spontaneously absorbing the surrounding Source Power and even other mysterious substances.
A faint light bloomed from the system interface, but Lu Ming was too absorbed in his cultivation to pay much attention.
Little did he know that every single one of these events was being closely observed by Jiu Han.
On another floor of the Boshi Tower.
Jiu Han was organizing teaching materials, contemplating his teaching plans for his two disciples, and observing their every move.
Lin Feng was just an addition, but the real focus was on Lu Ming.
When Jiu Han saw Lu Ming immediately enter a state of cultivation as soon as he went to his room, Jiu Han smiled and was quite satisfied with Lu Ming’s dedication…
Although Lu Ming’s level of hard work surprised Jiu Han and even shocked him, it would be unreasonable to say that Jiu Han did not like this hardworking person.
Even a student without great talent but willing to put in the effort would be appreciated by a teacher. Moreover, Lu Ming had exceptional talent and was working diligently… To be honest, Jiu Han did not dare to imagine how far Lu Ming would go in the future.
Jiu Han’s attention shifted to Lin Feng.
When he saw Lin Feng also immersing himself in cultivation like Lu Ming, Jiu Han stroked his beard and smiled, very satisfied.
“Although the growth of the Lucky Child doesn’t depend much on diligence, hard work is always a good thing. Moreover, the path of array formations requires dedicated studies and diligent practice, and it won’t hurt you to work harder…”
After muttering this, Jiu Han suddenly frowned.
Jiu Han focused his attention on Lu Ming again and vaguely saw some problems with Lu Ming.
First was the Void Realm.
Previously, Jiu Han had not investigated this ability in detail and had ignored it. At this moment, with a simple look, Jiu Han immediately understood Lu Ming’s cultivation method.
“Using time-type abilities to accelerate cultivation… This method has both pros and cons.”
The advantage was that such a growth method was clearly very fast.
The disadvantage was that no one could endure a long seclusion and long loneliness.
However, this was clearly not a problem for Lu Ming.
“This ability is a perfect match for this disciple of mine.”
“Therefore, I have to think of a way to make your ability stronger.”
After a simple thought, seven or eight methods appeared in Jiu Han’s mind.
However, Jiu Han did not prioritize this matter. Instead, he stared at Lu Ming with a burning gaze. A moment later, he suddenly gasped.
“What kind of const.i.tution is this!?”
He could clearly see that as Lu Ming began his cultivation, a large amount of source power crazily poured into Lu Ming’s body.
This source power, after being transformed into cell nutrients by the body forging techniques, strengthened Lu Ming’s physique once again.
However, this was not the main point!
The crucial aspect was that with the influx of source power, more exotic energies seemed to be attracted to Lu Ming, and he effortlessly digested and absorbed them.
This included… spatial energy and time energy.
And even the essence of Divine Source!
The Boshi Tower was a divine artifact, and the so-called divine artifact was an instrument forged by the G.o.ds and infused with the essence of Divine Source!
Moreover, Jiu Han was one of the few renowned scholars in the world.
He was well-versed in various disciplines such as refining weapons, array formations, alchemy, and more. He knew almost everything and was a master of everything!
This also meant that within the Boshi Tower, not only the essence of Divine Source was present, but more various chaotic array formations and corresponding energies—such as spatial energy and time energy.
Watching Lu Ming, who seemed to devour everything like a black hole, Jiu Han fell into a prolonged silence.
At this moment, Lu Ming’s state reminded Jiu Han of a unique physique, Devouring Physique.
This physique could devour everything and transform them into whatever it needed.
However, the only problem was that even a Devouring Physique would not be able to digest and absorb the essence of Divine Source!
A golden light involuntarily bloomed from Jiu Han’s eyes.
He continued to scrutinize Lu Ming, attempting to gain a deep understanding of him inside and out.
After a long time, Jiu Han muttered to himself.
“If it’s not a Devouring Physique… then what is it?”
“What kind of monster is this disciple of mine?”
“I can’t comprehend it…”
