The morning sunlight streamed into the room.
"Hmm~"
A lazy groan sounded.
Her dreamy, pink-blue long hair was casually spread out, gently swaying as Wang Donger turned over, a soft, fragrant body pressed against the person beside her, her clothes disheveled, revealing her fair and delicate collarbone.
"Wang Dong, you're pressing on my hair." Xiao Xiao's lazy voice sounded, a small hand pushing away Wang Dong, who was pressing on her. The girl's sleepy, beautiful eyes met a pair of dark eyes, and she skillfully lowered her head and kissed.
"An Zhen Gege." The blue-haired little darling beside her had already woken up, her small figure sitting cross-legged on the bed, her cute little face flushed. Under the girl's white nightgown, a large hand was caressing her tender, fair calf.
Morning exercises were an indispensable part of every morning.
After a moment of intimacy, An Zhen left the room. The girls changed into their outdoor clothes and, as before, went out to the cafeteria for breakfast, then attended classes, beginning a day of study and cultivation.
An Zhen did not go out.
The black-haired youth sat cross-legged on the bed, which still carried the girls' scent, muttering softly, "Almost there."
Calm his mind.
A vast mental force probed into his body, and a clear image appeared in An Zhen's mind: it was the part of An Zhen's torso bone. Unlike ordinary people's white bones, it was a translucent, crystal-clear blood-red, like glazed jade. The surface of the blood-red jade bone emitted a strange bloody light. In An Zhen's soul's vision, a final trace of white was constantly being eroded by the blood-red, until it was completely assimilated.
After about three months, the Fire Dragon King torso bone was officially assimilated.
"Gurgle gurgle~"
A boiling sound rang out.
In an instant, the originally stable flow of vital energy within An Zhen's body suddenly boiled. Pure power of heaven and earth descended from an unknown void, injecting into An Zhen's vital energy. The Virtual World automatically operated to inject energy. As firewood was continuously added, the fire burned hotter and hotter, and An Zhen's skin also turned a ruddy color as a result.
"Comfortable~" It was as if the pleasure of Life evolving enveloped An Zhen's sensory organs. An Zhen chose to follow his body's perception, closing his eyes and allowing the vital energy within him to boil even more intensely. Streaks of blood-red quietly overflowed from An Zhen's body. The bed, the bedding, every object touched by the vital energy, seemed to bear the weight of ten thousand pounds, being squeezed and damaged.
Pure, unadulterated blood-red enveloped An Zhen.
A hint of grey emerged from An Zhen's mind, transforming into a grey figure standing beside An Zhen's bed. Dead grey eyes reflected the blood-red youth on the bed. Compared to a human, Electrolux felt that An Zhen at this moment was more like a giant dragon, a humanoid true dragon compressed to human size.
"It is indeed a great opportunity," Electrolux said.
A wisp of grey spiritual light quietly covered the entire bedroom, as if shrouded in a layer of grey gauze.
A purple petal with a golden stamen chrysanthemum and a two-sided ball composed of fiery red and ice blue appeared in Electrolux's hand. Just now, he and these two items were "thrown out" by An Zhen.
"Go!"
A trace of divine consciousness landed on the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball. A wisp of ice blue and fiery red, intertwined Pole Ice and Extreme Fire, overflowed, directly enveloping the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju (Marvelous Velvet Heaven Reaching Chrysanthemum). The Immortal Herb, with tens of thousands of years of cultivation, dissipated, transforming into a golden liquid enveloped in purple, which, along with the intertwined Extreme Ice and Fire power, floated onto An Zhen's body.
The vital energy, Extreme Ice and Fire power, and golden liquid made contact, as if they had come alive, drilling into them, carrying a wisp of them into An Zhen's body. The next moment, other blood-red auras swarmed in, like a pack of wolves, competing and tearing at the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju (Marvelous Velvet Heaven Reaching Chrysanthemum) and the Extreme Ice and Fire power.
A brilliant golden color was added to the pure blood-red.
Electrolux gazed at his disciple, lightly tapping the two-sided ball in his palm. The Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball floated directly above An Zhen's head, and ice-blue and fiery-red light points fell from it like rain and snow. A strange two-colored halo enveloped An Zhen's body.
… …
"Hmm~"
An Zhen stretched his limbs.
He slept until he woke up naturally.
Comfortable~
An Zhen felt his body was more relaxed and powerful than ever before, and also hungrier than ever before.
A pair of dark eyes opened, a hint of blood-red quietly receding. A somewhat unfamiliar ceiling reflected in An Zhen's vision. Life and light power, so rich it was almost liquid, instantly enveloped him. An Zhen felt all his pores open at this moment, like a glutton, greedily absorbing the pure and rich Life and light power.
Antique wooden furniture of various styles came into An Zhen's eyes.
Sea God Pavilion?
The only place An Zhen remembered that was so strange was the Golden Tree.
Electrolux's voice sounded in An Zhen's mind, "Your consciousness was dormant for three days and three nights. On the afternoon of the first day, those little girls returned and found you asleep. Because of your heavy vital energy, they couldn't lift you, so they called Yan Shaozhe to take you away and brought you here to the Sea God Pavilion. Xuan Zi and Mu En examined your body and found that your body instinctively devoured the surrounding Life energy. Unable to find the reason, they brought you to this secret room."
Electrolux put away the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball.
Ice-fire body tempering was complete. Although the "quality" of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball's energy was very high, if it was simply to convert energy into vital energy, Life power would be more effective. The power of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball could easily mix ice-fire power into An Zhen's vital energy. From Electrolux's perspective, it was better for An Zhen, who did not primarily cultivate ice-fire power, not to absorb too much high-level Extreme Ice and Fire power at this stage.
"Thank you, Teacher."
He stretched his body.
"Boom!"
The wooden bed under An Zhen collapsed directly.
"I can't quite control my power," An Zhen's somewhat helpless voice sounded.
Probing his body with his mental force, An Zhen himself was startled by the vital energy within him. It was like a sea of vital energy, where a casual wave could capsize a boat, and beneath the calm surface lay unfathomable mystery and profoundness.
An Zhen felt his power had increased at least several times over.
Fortunately, his mental force was strong; otherwise, not to mention vital energy going out of control, his body and soul, which were originally connected as one, could very likely have split into two parts.
"How do you feel?" Two white-haired figures suddenly appeared beside An Zhen. A greasy hand grabbed An Zhen's arm, and feeling the active vital energy within, Xuan Lao's face showed a shocked expression.
An Zhen spoke, "Better than ever before, it's just that I can't quite control my power."
"Only you, kid, have such a strong soul; anyone else would have had an accident long ago." Xuan Lao released An Zhen's arm and sighed.
This kid, when he was sent here two days ago, he almost scared him. Good heavens, a human, yet he weighed several tons. The vital energy lingering around An Zhen even seemed like an invisible gravity, constantly squeezing and destroying surrounding objects. All the inspection data was astonishingly explosive, as if he were a humanoid fierce beast. Those were simply not data that a human could produce. The boiling vital energy in his body was even invisibly devouring the surrounding energy, as if it were nurturing something.
"Take your time. Your soul is strong, so controlling this vital energy won't be too difficult for you." Mu En raised his hand, and a bloody spiritual light shot from outside the room. A bloody fruit appeared in front of An Zhen. The pure vital energy attracted An Zhen, and he took a bite.
After a few bites of the sweet pulp, the hunger quickly receded, and with the consumption of a whole fruit, a feeling of fullness came over him.
"Thump thump thump thump~"
A heartbeat like thunder sounded, and the vital energy boiled along with it. The pure vital energy brought by the fruit pulp was continuously transformed, and streaks of blood-red overflowed from An Zhen's pores.
"Teacher." An Zhen looked at Mu En in surprise, "Is there more?"
Mu En was silent, as if he had seen something incredible. He raised his hand, and a stream of light shot into the room. It was a box made of unknown jade. Through the translucent jade, one could see six fruits inside, like blood-red gems.
"Good kid." Xuan Lao discovered for the first time that someone could eat more than him. "Ten-thousand-year Blood Fruit, even I would be afraid of getting bloated eating it like this."
Blood Fruit, the fruit of vital energy. Pure heaven and earth energy, transformed by the fruit tree into pure vital energy. Ten thousand years of accumulation, even an ordinary hundred-thousand-year spiritual item would not have such rich energy. Even a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast would have to fall into a deep slumber to refine it if it swallowed one whole.
"Spirit Bone ability." An Zhen happily put away the jade box. His clothes had already been torn into rags by the vital energy. He picked up the blood-red robe placed nearby and put it on. Fortunately, the storage spirit tool Ning Tian gave him was of good quality, so it wasn't damaged by the vital energy.
When he woke up, the Spirit Bone's ability was also fed back into his mind.
World Torso Bone (Fire Dragon King Spirit Bone transformation), only one Spirit Ability, a passive ability, which An Zhen named Mount Buzhou, after the pillar that supports heaven and earth in myths and legends.
The original meaning of Buzhou is incomplete, imperfect.
All along, among An Zhen's soul, physical body, and spirit power, his soul had always been far ahead. spirit power required self-cultivation, while his physical body relied on Spirit Bone and the tempering from daily absorption and transformation of spirit power. But it was not perfect; soul cultivation goes without saying, and spirit power had accumulated cultivation over time, but only in terms of the physical body, besides Spirit Bone, there were only Immortal Herbs. And now, the torso bone perfectly compensated for the issues in the physical body.
Passive Mount Buzhou: Break the physical shackles.
The passive limit aligns with the soul.
The previous one was a transformation.
The path of physical cultivation had opened up, like cultivating spirit power, continuously ingesting energy and constantly improving physical strength through long-term cultivation.
An Zhen proactively explained.
"…"
"Can you, kid, be any more abnormal?" Xuan Lao sighed.
Such a passive Spirit Ability, coupled with this kid's abnormally vast mental force, was simply a divine ability.
Although he lacked two Spirit Bone Spirit Abilities, it was not a pity at all, as An Zhen had no shortage of Spirit Abilities; others' were his.
"Knock knock knock~"
A knock on the door sounded, and the next second, a group of beautiful girls, each with their own charms, rushed in directly. Mu En and Xuan Lao retreated. Seeing An Zhen awake, the girls' faces showed surprise, and they immediately surrounded An Zhen. The two fastest figures directly pounced into An Zhen's arms.
"Don't."
An Zhen dared not move, "Dong'er, Yu Tong, get up first, I can't quite control my power right now."
"?"
The two girls got up, somewhat puzzled.
An Zhen explained the previous situation to the worried girls.
"A Spirit Bone's passive Spirit Ability?"
"Yes, the vital energy has increased a bit too much, and I can't perfectly control it for a while." An Zhen said.
"As long as you're alright."
The girls breathed a sigh of relief.
An Zhen suddenly collapsing on the bed at that time really scared them.
They didn't expect it to be the awakening of such a passive Spirit Ability.
Judging from the commotion when An Zhen was asleep earlier, it should be very powerful.
"Has anything happened these past few days?" An Zhen asked.
Huo Yutong thought for a moment and said, "Wu Feng's deep meditation has ended. She successfully achieved Extreme Fire and forty-level spirit power. She is currently in seclusion, absorbing a hundred-thousand-year sub-dragon Spirit Bone. If all goes well, she should finish this afternoon."
"Mm." An Zhen nodded gently, "Alright, don't worry about me. I'll get familiar with my power. Everyone go do what you need to do."
The girls left, leaving Xu Jiujiu watching by An Zhen's side.
An Zhen followed Xuan Lao for power control training, which simply meant various vital energy trainings to strengthen the harmony between soul and body.
Half a day passed.
"Hoo~"
His slightly long, dark hair swayed. The handsome black-haired youth wore a neat short-sleeved shirt and shorts, his skin as fair as jade with a healthy blush, exuding the aura of a sunny big boy. He clenched his hand into a fist and directly punched the giant rock in front of him.
"Boom!"
Other than looking good, his arm, which had no muscles, swung its fist and made contact with the giant rock, yet it was like surging waves condensing into a single point. A profound and vast power, like an abyss or a sea, directly slammed into the rock, causing the tens of tons of giant rock to explode.
"Hiss~"
Xu Jiujiu, standing more than ten meters behind An Zhen, gasped.
There was no spirit power fluctuation whatsoever.
This meant that this level of attack was done purely with physical strength.
An Zhen's gains this time seemed to be much greater than she had imagined. No, to be precise, they were somewhat beyond her imagination. With her strength, she didn't feel any obvious vital energy fluctuations, which meant An Zhen didn't use his full power at all.
"Almost there," An Zhen said, feeling the vital energy within him.
A larger, cooked bird egg appeared in his hand. The shell, touched by his fingers, was as soft as cotton and peeled away, but the egg inside was not damaged at all by the force.
He ate it in a few bites.
A disheveled figure gnawing on a chicken leg appeared by the training ground, finishing the chicken leg in two or three bites, "An Xiaozi, do you want this old man to spar with you?"
"Okay."
An Zhen turned to look at Xuan Lao.
He also wanted to know how strong he was now.
That rock just now weighed about ten tons, and he could lift it completely.
What level was his power at?
An Zhen remembered that Tang Wulin, who possessed the Golden Dragon King bloodline, seemed to have a single-arm punch with a force of one hundred thousand kilograms when he was at the Fourth or Fifth Ring.
How did the World's power compare to the Golden Dragon King's?
