Chapter 131: Lin Fan Breaking Through at Full Speed
When Lin Fan taught Ou Hu, he only passed on the method to cultivate the Overlord Shell Body. Since Ou Hu already possessed the fierce tiger bloodline, learning the Overlord Shell Body was much faster for him than for an ordinary person.
The Overlord Shell Body was extremely powerful; even in Lin Fan’s previous life, it was renowned and feared.
Next were Sun Hao and Qian Jin.
Since Sun Hao had already stepped onto the Path of Sound Killing, Lin Fan taught him the Nine-Finger Demon Qin from his previous life, though he had modified the techniques to better suit this lifetime.
As for Qian Jin, his path was one of extreme speed, much like Shangguan Feihong’s, but more suited to throwing knives. So Lin Fan passed on the method of throwing knives to him.
At the same time, Lin Fan imparted to all of them his modified Devouring Heaven Technique through jade slips, though he renamed it Devouring Primordial Scripture.
Finally, he spent one hundred million points of negative emotional energy to purchase two thousand Vitality Fruits, distributing them among the six disciples to accelerate their cultivation.
Given that they were cultivating the Devouring Primordial Scripture, their realms would likely regress rapidly because the technique required such pure vitality that it would exhaust and refine their life energy. This was expected to cause them to fall back to the Qi Gathering Realm. Yet, the benefits were apparent.
Although their realms would drop, their combat power would grow significantly. Coupled with the battle skills and martial techniques Lin Fan shared, they would far surpass their current strength.
After teaching them the methods, Lin Fan alone entered the fourth level of the Enlightenment Tower. One day of cultivation there was equivalent to eight days outside. Moreover, his cultivation speed with the Devouring Primordial Scripture was incomparable to the other techniques. Together, this rapid progress would surely astonish everyone.
“Devouring Primordial Scripture, First Layer, Activate!”
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, a gentle smile on his lips as he whispered softly. With a boom, his entire body’s vitality surged, beginning to flow slowly through his meridians, weaving into the main conduits and rarely used channels within his body.
Soon, the slow flow of vitality accelerated—faster and faster—until it spun wildly!
If initially his circulation was like a crawling turtle, now it was as if that turtle had mounted a rocket. The vitality spun uncontrollably inside him, forming countless cycles of varying sizes.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Crackling sounds echoed continuously from Lin Fan’s body as his vitality began to be refined, becoming purer. At the same time, his realm started to fall.
Peak Qi Gathering Realm!
Late Qi Gathering Realm!
Mid Qi Gathering Realm!
Early Qi Gathering Realm!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan’s cultivation dropped to Early Qi Gathering Realm. He quickly fed himself more Vitality Fruits.
Outside, in the stone chamber where Lin Fan cultivated, a torrent of vitality surged in. His body resembled a whirlpool in the deep sea, ravenously and dominantly absorbing the vitality.
After some unknown duration, Lin Fan’s realm suddenly began to rise again!
Peak Early Qi Gathering Realm!
Mid Qi Gathering Realm!
Peak Mid Qi Gathering Realm!
Late Qi Gathering Realm!
Peak Late Qi Gathering Realm!
Boom!
Lin Fan’s aura erupted violently. With a hum, his cultivation surged into the Initial Qi Meridian Realm.
Qi Meridian Realm, One Meridian Open!
Two Meridians Open!
Three Meridians Open!
With this breakthrough, his aura advanced by leaps and bounds. The fierce vitality entering his body merged like drops into an ocean, causing no ripples.
If one could see through Lin Fan’s Qi Sea, they would witness an infinitely large whirlpool, with countless vitality streaks flowing downward into and upward from the Qi Sea through his meridians.
One day.
Two days.
Ten days.
Ten days passed like this, and Lin Fan’s cultivation soared from Early Qi Gathering Realm to the Forty-Third Meridian Qi Meridian Realm.
Yet, even against a Mid Qi Meridian Realm opponent, he was not afraid to fight. In fact, he was curious whether he could defeat one with a single strike.
Moreover, his cultivation was still breaking through.
Eleven days.
Twelve days.
Twenty days.
His progress began to slow, but he had reached the Seventy-Third Meridian Qi Meridian Realm. By then, all his negative emotional energy had been spent, and all Vitality Fruits consumed.
Seventy-Four Meridians!
Seventy-Five Meridians!
Seventy-Six Meridians!
Every three to five hours, a surge would erupt in Lin Fan’s body—another meridian breakthrough. By the twenty-third day, his remaining twenty-three thousand academy points were also exhausted.
Boom!
With the final crisp crack, Lin Fan broke through to the Ninety-Fourth Meridian. At that instant, he opened his eyes.
Whoosh!
A streak of purple lightning flashed from his eyes, illuminating the entire stone chamber brilliantly. Then the purple lightning faded, disappearing into his pupils. Lin Fan clenched his fist.
Crack!
The crisp sound of his joints echoed as he stretched lazily, his muscles and bones singing in harmony.
“This feeling is wonderful, so powerful!”
Feeling the immense true qi within him, Lin Fan smiled and said, “From now on, I fear no one, not even those at the Stream Realm!”
At this moment, Lin Fan stood at the pinnacle of his life’s cultivation. His combat power was no less than that of a late Channeling Meridian Realm expert, perhaps even stronger.
If he employed battle skills or supreme martial techniques, he believed a single strike could defeat a late Channeling Meridian Realm elite. If he used secret arts, even at the cost of severe injury, facing an ordinary Stream Realm expert would no longer be daunting.
“Unfortunately, Vitality Fruits don’t benefit me as much now.”
A hint of regret flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes. With two hundred seventy million points of negative emotional energy, he had purchased three thousand four hundred Vitality Fruits. Due to cultivating the Devouring Primordial Scripture, which required increasingly refined vitality, each fruit only increased five vitality strands.
Upon reaching the Qi Meridian Realm, each fruit would only add one vitality strand, with no chance for more.
Lin Fan took out the Crimson Crystal Token. Looking at the large zero displayed and the completely depleted negative emotional energy, he smiled wryly, “Such a pity for all my negative emotions and Vitality Fruits!”
He had thought one hundred seventy million points of negative emotional energy was abundant, but in practice, it was just a drop in the bucket.
“Enough. I wonder how Bei Han and the others are doing. After these days, they should be near the late Qi Gathering Realm, right?”
Lin Fan smiled faintly and stood, walking out of the stone chamber. He trusted that although Xiao Beihan and the others didn’t have his accelerated cultivation speed or as many Vitality Fruits, they had probably reached the late Qi Gathering Realm by now.
Though only at the late Qi Gathering Realm, their combat strength definitely wouldn’t decline. Even facing a perfect Body Tempering Qi Meridian Realm late-stage expert, they wouldn’t be intimidated.
With equal talent and age, they could still battle across major realm differences. This outcome would surely please those young men.
When Lin Fan returned to the entrance of the secluded valley cottage, he found two to three hundred people gathered there, shouting loudly.
“Anyone else want to challenge? Hurry up, don’t waste my training time!”
“Yeah, anyone else?”
“Right! How come a Qi Meridian Realm fifteen-meridian expert falls, then a twenty-meridian one, then a thirty-meridian one? Just send out a late Qi Meridian Realm expert already! Mid-stage Qi Meridian Realm fights are no fun!”
“Exactly! Hurry up with a master so I can test my throwing knife techniques!”
“Yeah! But no perfect Body Tempering late-stage experts; they’re too tough!”
Damn, these guys have really gotten cocky!
Hearing the voices clearly from inside—the voices of Ou Hu, Li Ji, Sun Hao, and Qian Jin—Lin Fan was a bit speechless. From their words, it was obvious they had either been defeated or were confident enough to mock others. They had definitely gotten cocky after training with his techniques.
He hoped they wouldn’t encounter peak late Qi Gathering Realm experts with perfect body tempering, or else they would have a hard fight.
After all, these disciples had only been cultivating for about twenty days. No matter how strong the methods, their experience was limited. Their combat power had improved greatly but hadn’t reached a high explosive phase yet.
When that phase came, he wouldn’t fear their arrogance or being beaten up!
“Is there anyone willing to step up? If not, let’s all disperse and go home!”
Ou Hu waved his hand, shooing people away like flies, but no matter what, those challenging wouldn’t leave or step forward, leaving him helpless.
