Two months into the gestation of the white river dolphin.
Lu Jun's magic energy triggered a strong reaction, with azure light flowing, illuminating half of the cave. The surrounding imnse water vapor surged into the cave.
Everyone was imdiately awakened, groaning as they got up, patting their soaked clothes, saying, "If you're going to break through, just do it quietly, no need to make such a fuss."
Despite their complaints, they couldn't help but feel envious. Lu Jun had just reached water system interdiate level three, while they were still at interdiate level two in their main system, with their auxiliary systems barely catching up. The gap was considerable.
Little did they know, this was Lu Jun's second system to reach the interdiate peak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
At this mont, Lu Jun felt the azure Nebula his spiritual world rapidly expanding, swelling several more circles beyond the original base, and his magic power surged drastically.
Water system interdiate level three advancent, [Tide·Violent Waves·Flooding].
He realized the third level of Violent Wave was truly remarkable. At level one, it created a single effect per spell cast, like one tide, one water column, etc. At level two, it summoned a stronger wave, but still with one effect.
However, [Flooding] was different. After release, the waves continued, one after another, endlessly, as long as magic energy was continuously output, it would keep working.
This was a perfect synergy with the Tidal Spirit, significantly simplifying the process of stacking tidal effects, increasing speed and efficiency drastically.
Previously, Lu Jun had to depict the star map of Violent Wave five tis to release five interdiate spells, gradually increasing their power. Now, with a single star map, the process was much easier.
Of course, his spell power had also grown stronger. Now, with the fourth tidal wave, he could form a pseudo-domain, reaching the minimum standard for high-level spells.
At that point, even high-level spells with their domains wouldn't be impossible to rival.
Moreover, Lu Jun was astonished to discover that the effect of the White Jade Ointnt perfectly matched with the Tidal Spirit. Every ti he applied it, the Tides would self-activate, magic energy penetrating deep within his body, causing a trendous surge in vitality.
He extended his fair hand, clenched his fist, and the tension in his muscles caused a faint keratin layer to appear, similar to the fourth level of Water Defense.
Internal inspection of his physique revealed a thin, tough mbrane tissue forming between his muscles and bones, interlacing the blood and flesh, making all organs and tissues more tightly connected, both glowing with a soft white light.
In simple terms, he no longer appeared human!
Lu Jun was incredulous. Could this kind of tissue be sothing a normal person could have? Was he approaching the realm of monsters?
But leaving that concern aside, he realized how useful this keratin layer was—extrely tough, comparable to the third level of Water Defense.
Even without using magic, his physical body could easily resist fire, lightning, and interdiate spells. It would be difficult to seriously injure him, and with a little movent, he felt full of vitality.
Indeed, Lu Jun's body strength had reached the standard of an [Advancing Servant], similar to Mo Fan's powerful physique after acquiring a demon system.
It seed that this mbrane tissue was an organ evolved to expand his physical blood and energy capacity. His body weight had increased, though his outward appearance remained unchanged, still looking like a normal person.
And the benefits of the White Jade Ointnt didn't stop there.
Lu Jun had solidified the effect of the Tides, turning it into sothing akin to an innate talent!
The reason seed to be that the Tidal Spirit had repeatedly purified his body through various coincidences and opportunities, and with the mysterious effects of the White Jade Ointnt, it had integrated into his body, forming an inherent ability.
From now on, even if he changed his Spirit Seed, the Tides' abilities would still accompany him, seemingly forming a combination of the water system Nebula and the body's white mbranous tissue.
Lu Jun was overjoyed. It ant that his water system had acquired a natural talent.
It's important to note that his true talent was dual-system by nature. If he only had one magic system, it would be nothing special, easily surpassed by those with innate talents.
Now, his combat power was this strong purely due to the vast resources spent. Every system was reaching an extrely excellent standard.
Moreover, Lu Jun had never been willing to part with the [Tidal] effect. It was the perfect enhancent for him, and even when compared to an ordinary soul Seed, the latter was far inferior.
Only with a soul Seed that naturally amplified by six tis would he consider replacing it.
But even then, making a choice wasn't easy. After all, the Tidal enhancent had no upper limit, while the six-fold power of the soul species was fixed.
Perhaps a random six-fold soul Seed Violent Wave could already reach the minimum standard for high-level spells, but the subsequent sixth and seventh Tides were beyond the reach of any soul Seed.
"When I find a suitable top-tier soul seed at high-level, coupled with the dual properties of the Tides, my water system will be able to sweep through the National Academy's students."
He was thrilled inside. This journey hadn't been wasted—his cultivation had improved, but the real gains were the enhancent to his physique and innate potential brought by the White Jade Ointnt.
Of course, Lu Jun didn't let himself get carried away. He still had so doubts about this physical change, so he quickly consulted Professor Yuan, who was observing the white river dolphin.
"White mbrane tissue? Comparable to the physique of an advancing servant? Tides solidified?"
Professor Yuan froze, staring at Lù Jùn with a strange expression, before his eyes lit up with intense curiosity, saying, "Let take a look!"
He was very curious, as this was sothing completely unprecedented. In the past, White Jade Ointnt was always refined by demons, and they were the first to try it on humans. There was no telling what might happen.
But according to Professor Yuan's estimation, it should be fine, because this substance was gentle in nature. It was similar to how Gao Sen and others had used it to heal injuries and strengthen their bodies, showing no abnormalities.
After checking Lù Jùn's body thoroughly, he concluded, stroking his chin, "Do you realize what this ans? Two significant points. First, the feasibility of human bodies matching the strength of demons. Second, the technique of developing innate talents after birth."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's heart skipped a beat, realizing just how extraordinary his situation was.
"Don't worry," Professor Yuan smiled, "I'll keep it confidential."
He continued, "Your current state can't be replicated. Both the Tides and White Jade Ointnt are indispensable, and there might be other unknown factors."
"I'm considering that the nine realms of blood vitality you envisioned might be on the verge of being touched. I'll define it as such for now: the strength of your physique is now at the level of a Warrior, which corresponds to the blood vitality realm of the first stage, along with the corresponding increase from the spiritual Realm."
"Click, click, click, only a super-level mage's physique could reach such a level. You still have room to improve."
"Wait." Professor Yuan suddenly had a thought, shaking his head, "The effect of the Tidal Spirit rging into your body and producing the white mbrane tissue is also sowhat like the manifestation of super-level transcendent power. Magic and physical strength are perfectly combined, without necessarily exceeding the magical frawork."
Lù Jùn breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that Professor Yuan had said that mages had spiritual worlds, while ordinary humans didn't. Did that an the forr were no longer considered human?
Although so organizations adhered to such ideas, believing that mages were a different species, broadly speaking, they were still human.
Finally, Professor Yuan reassured Lù Jùn, saying, "It's normal for mages to have so physical abnormalities."
In the end, Lu Jun lay back, thinking that it might not be so bad not being entirely human in a magical world.
Aside from Professor Yuan, no one else knew about his changes, and the two had agreed to continue researching it together, striving to explore the road to enlightennt.
