When Amber’s claws closed in, the outermost layer of white light rely flickered before going still.
’It’s not as simple as a sixteen-fold increase.’
’It’s actually a sixteen-fold increase after the Secondary Qualitative Change,’ Shen Bai thought.
After reaching Level 5, the Flawless Ten Layers Body’s defense had already doubled. Adding sixteen layers of the Overlapping Wave Attribute on top of that made its defensive power truly formidable.
Amber was frozen in place, as still as a wooden statue.
It looked down at its own claws, a flicker of human-like confusion on its face, as if it couldn’t comprehend why its full-power attack failed to even breach its master’s defense.
Of course, its tiny brain was only puzzled for a mont before quickly returning to normal.
In its eyes, its master was a god-like being. It was only natural that it couldn’t break through his defenses.
After all, this was the man who could fight opponents two Grand Realms above his own level and battle the Observatory’s Landlord Long to a standstill.
Shen Bai ignored Amber’s shock, picked it up by the scruff of its neck, and sent it off to play by itself.
Then, Shen Bai sensed the Qi within his body.
Now that his Flawless Ten Layers Body had reached Level 5, the Qi in Shen Bai’s body had once again transford.
The golden light in his lungs now filled two-thirds of the organ. Shen Bai estimated that he only needed to grind one more Skill to its Secondary Qualitative Change before he could start on his spleen.
The Five Organ Realm consisted of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Once he finished cultivating his spleen and heart, he would be able to reach the ridian Realm.
For him, there were no bottlenecks. It was only a matter of ti.
"Ti for Dianmao," Shen Bai said, stretching as he looked at the bright sky outside.
No one had co to disturb him recently.
Liu Wufeng seed to have given him a long vacation, which allowed Shen Bai to beco even more engrossed in his grinding.
"Amber, let’s go," Shen Bai called out.
owing, Amber leaped into Shen Bai’s arms and nuzzled affectionately against his chest.
Shen Bai left with Amber, grabbed so breakfast, and then headed for the Observatory.
After Dianmao today, he didn’t plan on imdiately grinding the Skill Level for his next Divine Power. He had another plan in mind.
...
「Fenglin State Observatory.」
Shen Bai’s arrival imdiately drew everyone’s attention.
Many mbers of the Observatory looked over, their gazes filled with a hint of awe.
It was only after the last battle that everyone finally had a clear understanding of Shen Bai’s true strength.
But the more they understood, the more shocked and bitter they felt.
They were shocked that Shen Bai could fight an opponent two Grand Realms above him, battling Landlord Long to a standstill and even defusing that imnse crisis.
The bitterness stemd from the infuriating reality of comparing oneself to others.
After all, many mbers of Divisions Jia and Yi had already reached middle age.
Yet they were completely overshadowed by a young man like Shen Bai.
Of course, thanks to Liu Ruifeng’s skillful managent of the Observatory, no one harbored any feelings of jealousy.
At most, they only felt envy.
"Greetings, Lord Shen."
"You’re here early today, Lord Shen."
"Oh, has your cat gotten fatter?"
The strong are always admired, and Shen Bai was no exception.
Every mber of the Observatory greeted Shen Bai with warmth.
Of course, Shen Bai returned every greeting without a hint of arrogance, earning the quiet admiration of many of his colleagues.
After all, if any of them had Shen Bai’s strength, their egos would likely be through the roof.
Yet Shen Bai remained as humble as a piece of smooth, flawless white jade, which they couldn’t help but admire.
After a round of lengthy greetings, Shen Bai arrived at the registration room.
Long Yan had returned to her usual sultry charm and was checking in the Observatory mbers for Dianmao.
When she saw Shen Bai arrive, Long Yan’s eyes lit up. With a smile playing on her lips, she once again tried to pinch his chin.
Shen Bai took a step back, the corner of his mouth twitching. "You never change, do you, Landlord Long?"
He had thought that after everything that had happened, Long Yan would have at least beco a bit more serious, but she was exactly the sa as before.
Long Yan covered her mouth and giggled. "If my personality changed, I wouldn’t be Long Yan anymore."
Shen Bai said helplessly, "Landlord Long, I’m busy today. I don’t have ti to trade barbs with you. I need to find Elder Mu."
Although Long Yan enjoyed teasing the Observatory mbers, she knew when to be serious.
Her teasing expression vanished. "All right, let’s get you checked in for Dianmao."
After completing his Dianmao, Shen Bai bid farewell to Long Yan and left the registration room. He headed to the resource room, followed by the gazes of the other Observatory mbers.
...
He had already collected this month’s resources. While most of them were no longer useful to him, the Qi Blood dicine was sothing he desperately needed.
After all, the stronger his Divine Powers beca, the more Qi and blood they consud.
Inside the resource room, Elder Mu was dozing off, bored out of his mind.
His post was far quieter than Long Yan’s, so much so that he always looked on the verge of sleep.
As if sensing Shen Bai’s arrival, Elder Mu cracked open his eyes, yawned, and pointed to the seat beside him.
"Have a seat. I’ve already made you so tea."
Shen Bai rubbed his hands together and sat down in the adjacent chair, chuckling as he poured a cup of tea. "I’m honored you went to the trouble of making tea for , Elder Mu."
Despite his polite words, Shen Bai showed no hesitation, imdiately taking a large gulp of the tea.
