After Wang Xiaoqiang painted on Ye Junqing's body, he lay down and snored into sleep. When Ye Junqing woke up, she found a big face drawn on her chest and abdon, and feeling extrely embarrassed, she hurriedly jumped down to wash it off.
After taking a bath, she found that Wang Xiaoqiang had woken up and gave him a fierce glare, to which Wang Xiaoqiang responded with a mischievous laugh.
"Hey? The academy competition is in just over a month; do you want to participate?" Ye Junqing approached and asked.
"What are the benefits of participating in the competition?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
"There aren't really any benefits to participating," Ye Junqing said, "but if you manage to make it into the top ten, you'll receive the baptism of Old Master's Power of the Sacred Dao, and by then, your 'Power of Dao' could increase several tis over."
"Uh," Wang Xiaoqiang, thinking of the power of Dao's might, decisively said, "Then I'll participate and strive to get into the top ten."
"Yueyang Academy is filled with experts. If you want to make it into the top ten, you'll have to work hard," Ye Junqing reminded.
"Hmm, from today on, I'll intensify my cultivation."
Wang Xiaoqiang knew that Ye Junqing spoke the truth; Yueyang Academy indeed was full of experts. Take Senior Brother Fang Qiu, for example; he's at the Ninth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage and the Half-Step Immortal King Realm. If he really had to duel with Fang Qiu, he wouldn't stand a chance. Moreover, other students at Yueyang Academy include Body Refining Masters and possess strong Power of Dao, while his "Path of Courage" is still very weak, putting him at a disadvantage.
However, thinking that he had pill equivalents worth a hundred thousand gold coins, he believed that upgrading his cultivation wouldn't be a problem. But his 'Power of Courage' could only grow through his own comprehension. So he decided to devote most of his efforts in the coming month to understanding the Power of Courage.
A few days later, Long Tian delivered the promised hundred thousand gold coins to Wang Xiaoqiang and apologized, saying, "Elder Brother Wang, I was immature before and offended you. Please forgive ."
Seeing the other party's earnest deanor, Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said, "Relax; I'm not a petty person. I never hold grudges."
"Since Elder Brother Wang bears no grudge, why don't we turn hostility into friendship and beco sworn brothers? What do you think, Elder Brother Wang?" Long Tian asked timidly, afraid Wang Xiaoqiang might refuse.
Long Tian's change in attitude confused Wang Xiaoqiang, but it seed that Long Tian was genuinely convinced and sincere, not putting on a false front. Wang Xiaoqiang was surprised and said, "Long Tian, you're a prince, and I'm just a commoner. Isn't it inappropriate for us to beco brothers?"
"Elder Brother Wang, you hold the title of Lord Marquis and are highly regarded by my father, the emperor. You shouldn't belittle yourself by calling yourself a commoner..." Long Tian replied.
"I truly am a common folk. No matter how highly you regard , it's an unalterable fact that I'm a commoner."
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to beco sworn brothers with Long Tian because he felt Long Tian must have so motives for befriending him; otherwise, he wouldn't do so.
"Elder Brother Wang, let's treat this as a personal relationship, unrelated to family background, and don't let it bother you," Long Tian suggested patiently, seemingly determined to achieve his goal.
"Sorry, I'm not used to establishing relationships with others," Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said.
"Sigh, alright, Elder Brother Wang, then I shall take my leave," Long Tian cupped his hands and left dejectedly.
A day ago, Long Tian had a conversation with Princess Hua Shao, which made him realize Wang Xiaoqiang's significant standing in Huang Ce's eyes.
In the near future, Long Tian would be competing with Crown Prince Long Ao for the position of crown prince. Wang Xiaoqiang was clearly an important connection, both for having communication with his father, the emperor, and for his high cultivation base, making him a rare ally. Thus, Long Tian wanted to win him over.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaoqiang refused, leaving him frustrated.
The road of cultivation becos increasingly difficult as one ascends. Wang Xiaoqiang discovered that after advancing to an Immortal Sage, each level up required as much effort as the previous two or even three levels, not to ntion the increasing consumption of pills.
After a month of cultivation, having used up half of the pills equivalent to a hundred thousand gold coins, it was only that night that Wang Xiaoqiang had a premonition of a breakthrough.
Wang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged on the floor of his room, placed fifteen Superior Pills on the ground, and released 30 million Spiritual Springs to absorb them,
Absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb...
When three pills were fully absorbed, the 30 million Spiritual Springs were saturated. Wang Xiaoqiang controlled them with his will, preventing them from dispersing, then absorbed all 30 million Spiritual Springs into his body in one go.
The Spiritual Power inside surged and roared like tides, and Wang Xiaoqiang, using his will, released tal Elent Spiritual Energy into his physical body. The tal Elent Spiritual Energy, when refined, turned into a tal liquid, like rcury, infused along the surface of his body, slowly circulating...
Over 90 million Five Elents Spirit Springs circulated rapidly within Wang Xiaoqiang's body, constantly transforming into tal Elent Spiritual Energy, which was continuously outputted, condensed into tal liquid, and continuously injected under his body surface, gradually forming another layer of tal mbrane beneath...
As the Spiritual Energy gradually depleted, the Five Elents Spirit Springs beca empty. Wang Xiaoqiang took out six Superior Pills from the Suru Ring, placed them on the ground, and released the Spiritual Springs to absorb them. The Five Elents transford into forming tal Elent Spiritual Energy, which then condensed into tal liquid...
And so it repeated!
When the pills in Wang Xiaoqiang's Suru Ring were exhausted, the layer of tal mbrane beneath his body surface had solidified completely. With a thought, that tal mbrane erged, covering his body surface, appearing golden and semi-transparent, faintly like a cicada shell. With another thought, the other two golden shells beneath his body surface also erged, forming three layers of the golden shell, one protecting the other, overlapping, effectively giving himself three layers of protection. Wang Xiaoqiang looked around at himself, secretly delighted inside, as he had announced a breakthrough to the Vajra Body Fourth Layer.
After breaking through the Body Refining Boundary, Wang Xiaoqiang could then advance the Qi Refining Boundary by one level. He again took out fifteen Superior Pills from the Suru Ring, placed them on the ground, and released 30 million Spiritual Springs to absorb...
Absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb, absorb...
The 300 million Spiritual Springs, when fully sated, split, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof...
Dividing into two, 30 million Spiritual Springs transford into 60 million Spiritual Springs. With a thought, the 60 million Spiritual Springs were absorbed whole into his body, at which point the total number of Spiritual Springs in his body had reached 120,109,600, and all 120,109,600 Spiritual Springs shook together, Spiritual Energy soaring and condensing into Soldier Aura, then surged into the body to the fourth Divine Weapon embryo that was about to solidify,
The lightning-shaped Divine Weapon, after absorbing sufficient Soldier Aura, finally solidified.
Then, with a rumbling sound, it scattered, turning into Soldier Aura.
Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hands, and Spiritual Power surged, respectively condensing two lightning-shaped Divine Weapons on his left and right hands.
The Fourth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage was marked as a breakthrough! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian to read.)
