Proofreader: Prof. Zhu Yuan
Night fell and the stars shone, which made the lonely night no longer cold, and a ray of moonlight wafted down.
Dao Ling sat in the room, and his body was entangled with vital essence. There was a gust of pressure around him, which made the air compressed and blasted.
Ye Yun stared at him in disbelief, because he had digested the whole bottle of the limit-breaking potion, but he seemed to be able to continue ...
“Is he a special physique?” She gathered her silk hair, raised her eyebrows slightly, but shook her head then. If he possessed such a physique, she could feel it.
“Perhaps his physical talent is good, and it is a rare one among commons. If he could get some instructions, he would make some achievements,” Ye Yun murmured in her mind. In this world, most people had common physiques. However, the very high-level talent was rare to find, and those who had such talents possessed more potentialities than others.
Because the special physique often included talents of physical body, while the ordinary ones didn’t. If someone who was a ordinary physique but had surpa.s.sed the special physiques, his future would be promising.
Looking at Dao Ling whom just woke up, Ye Yun smiled, “How do you feel now?”
“This potion is a sheer magic!” He touched his body, and his young face crowded with joy. He asked, “What kind of the potion it is? I can feel the violent energy inside, but it has been repressed, and most have merged with my flesh.”
He clenched his fists, and felt that the root in his body had evolved. Now, he was impressed by those fantastic methods used by the alchemist, because Ye Yun only used one bottle of potion to solve those annoying problems inside his body. The alchemist was really amazing...
“That is a kind of limit-breaking potion, which is aimed at the development of physical potentialities for those in the realm of Body Forging.” She grinned, “You have a good body foundation. I guess you will soon break into the realm of Spirit Rhythm after several days practice.”
“I see.” Dao Ling nodded, and his eyes also lighted up. Since the violent energy had calmed down, he could use the blood of the Leopard-Like Beast to continue breaking through his limits. If the former problems appeared, he could use this potion to help him out. By the way, Ye Yun would want to laugh and weep all at once if she found him using the potion just for forging his body, because the potion was so rare that most people had no chance to get it.
“Dao Ling, you need to work hard these days. In terms of your potentialities of your body, it is not a problem to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment later. But if you can get a higher placing, I believe there will be much bonuses for you.” Ye Yun suddenly spoke to him, and stared at him with a hint of expectation.
“What kind of bonus?” Dao Ling put his clothes on, and asked, “Is there any benefit of taking part in the a.s.sessment?”
“Once you can get in the top 10, you are allowed to chose a martial art in the Martial Art Collection of Xingchen Academy. If you are lucky enough, you may get some very powerful ones, like sub-superior martial arts, and you can also get some elixirs as rewards too.” She pinched her s.e.xy red lips, but then shook her head, after all, such requirements were too hard for him to meet. Since it was different from the normal test, it would be a success for him to get in top 100.
Dao Ling became excited, because he heard those so called sub-superior martial arts before. This kind of martial arts was terribly powerful, and he hadn’t expected that Xingchen Academy could possess them.
Usually, normal martial arts were divided into primary level, middle level and high level respectively. For example, Xingchen Hand was a kind of high level martial art.
As for sub-superior martial arts, they were above those three levels, and each one was really powerful. Moreover, there were also seventy-two superior martial arts carried down by predecessors, and each of them possessed mighty power that could make you brew storms on rivers and seas or pick stars and catch the moon freely.
As for the top ten martial arts, they could only exist in Ye Yun’s fantasy.
Noticing his face covered by eagerness, Ye Yun smiled. Although Dao Ling’s body was good, but getting into the top 10 was still an impossible mission. But if he could really join the top 10 by himself, the future of Qingzhou City would be very bright.
Dao Ling looked at the sky and got up to leave. Ye Yun nodded, and watched him walking out. She couldn’t help but said, “Take care and, be better.”
Her words held Dao Ling in a trance, and he turned back to look at her. She looked at him in the eye, but suddenly looked away, and whispered in mind, “What happened to me! Why do I put my hope on this boy? Maybe I have lived at ease for too long...”
“I promise.” Dao Ling gently smiled and left. The bright moon light pulled out a slightly slender shadow, and gradually disappeared into the night.
...
Quickly returning home, Dao Ling closed the door and sat on the bed, and he took out a jade bottle.
He knew that it was a bit rash to use the blood of the Ferocious Primitive Beasts, but it would soon be the a.s.sessment day of Xingchen Academy, so in that case, he should speed up to improve his power. As for the problems inside his body, he could deal with them after joining in the academy.
“I have no idea how much you can help me!” He stared at the golden blood in the jade bottle, and took a deep breath. He could sense the great energy contained in the blood, but he still drank it without any hesitation.
Once the blood fell into his stomach, terrible changes occurred. The drops of blood even fused together to form a horrible beast, roaring loudly, releasing a sense of terror.
“Roar!” The Leopard-Like Beast was so frightful, shining in the room, like a demon standing there, and every breath released from it almost twisted Dao Ling’s body to blow up!
This beast was one kind of Ferocious Primitive Beasts, and was generally recognized as the king among them. It was said such terrible kinds belonged to Kyrin -- the powerful and divine beast!
So the blood of the Leopard-like Beast was extremely rare, and its effects were naturally better than the blood of other beasts, because it could gradually sublime the blood of Kyrin and maybe evolved into a divine beast!
Dao Ling sat there with his legs crossed, and there were mantras appeared inside his body, like the spirit incantations, and those ancient golden characters even manifested in his belly, and crushed on the beast one by one as if they had great power!
The beast roared, its body seemed to be deformed due to the weight of those characters, and its golden halo was collapsing.
Noticing that, Dao Ling was astounded, “That is so terrible! It is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Heaven Devouring. I really don’t know which powerful level it could reach in the future!”
He felt amazed that the Heaven Devouring would apply this way to compress the Leopard-Like Beast, and it was said that this martial art would automatically manifest itself when encountering the blood of the divine beasts.
The beast bl.u.s.tered, and its golden body burst out a billowy wind, shaking those ancient golden characters. As for Dao Ling, even a faint breeze of the breath of the beast would destroy his body.
He meditated and concentrated all his efforts, his speed of recitation of the mantras became faster and faster, and the weight of the ancient golden characters became heavier and heavier. Then the body of the beast started to split, and turned into the golden blood again.
Waves of terrible breaths were born in Dao Ling’s body, the blood had melted, flowing like magma, and each drop of the blood possessed enormous power!
Boom!
There was a sound of wave-like collision in his body, and his young face was twisted, fists clenched. He was trying his best to break through the limitation of his body, although he needed to stand the terrible pain from his body.
Under the influence of the Heaven Devouring, some vigorous energy essences gradually seeped through the blood of Leopard-Like Beast, and each of them had a hint of origin.
At this moment, Dao Ling’s body was shining like gold, his organs inside agitating, bones shaking, and his spine also making a loud sound! It seemed that his whole body was ready to wake up.
“So terrible the blood is! I can feel its strong effectiveness!” Dao Ling was shocked, because this was a comprehensive improvement for his body, and he could feel that his potentialities started to infinitely enlarge.
The Heaven Devouring was a very powerful martial art, and it could transfer the potential of the Ferocious Primitive Beasts to the user’s body, so the creator of such a martial art was a real monster.
Soon, there was a blazing and dazzling light springing out of Dao Ling’s body, which lighted up the whole room, and himself, seemed like a small sun emitting halos.
“Break!” Dao Ling shouted, and his body rang loudly. The breath in his body had been suppressed to a critical point, and suddenly burst out!
There was a breath awakening, which was very strong. The overflowing golden waves of it became more and more vigorous, cracking the air and almost shaking the walls apart.
Dao Ling’s breath was increasing rapidly, and the golden energy inside his body was penetrating into his bones and muscles to forge his body. Each inch of his flesh seemed to be recovered, and constantly burst out with strong waves.
The house was shaking, and it was about to collapse soon. But at this high time, some silvery runes appeared and shone on the blue-stone floor. They looked very mysterious and seemed to had come out of the ground.
The silvery runes raised up, swathed those explosive waves, stabilized the shaking house gradually and then disappeared in the air. After about two or four hours, the door suddenly opened, and a gaunt middle-aged man limped in.
The lame man was Dao Ling’s father, he stared and quickly fixed his eyes on Dao Ling, who was sitting on the bed. His eyes shining, quavered with excitement, “ Has... has he succeeded?”
He stared at Dao Ling with joy, and could feel the great power possessed by him, surprised and added, “His breath, almost has the power of the Ferocious Primitive Beasts!”
“What has he eaten? His breath is still strengthening!” He was shocked, sensing that the blood power inside Dao Ling’s body was like a rocket soaring all the way.
“Has he taken some potions or divine elixirs?” He rubbed his hands, looked very excited, like a child walking around in the room, and muttered, “He lost his original root before, but is it back now?”
“But...” He frowned, and carefully sensed the breath of Dao Ling, scratched his head, “There is no fluctuation of the original root. What happened? It is impossible for him to break through so fast! That’s unnatural!”
Then he took out a jade pot from his inner pocket. A drop of purple liquid was kept in the pot, dangled with magic air, radiating dazzling purple light, like a piece of purple jade, which was very extraordinary.
He took a deep breath, and dripped it on Dao Ling’s head, and opened his eyes widely.
The liquid disappeared on his head at once. Then, a purple energy came out of his body, spreading out, like a layer of purple smoke.
This energy looked very mysterious, and it disappeared along his muscles.
Suddenly, there was a burst of terrible fluctuations coming out of Dao Ling’s body. They were terrible and wild, seemed to be from the ancient ages!
A G.o.d of war born, and a horrible wave remained dormant in his body. If it broke out, it could crush the whole universe!
But such a terrible wave just lasted for seconds, and then calmed down.
The lame’s face was full of excitement, “The Dao Yuan potion is really effective! It definitely can help this brat to completely recover his original root only if I can find as much the potion as possible!”
“Ruojun, have you seen it?” The lame was overjoyed, and murmured, “Have you seen it, my dear? Our son made it!"
