Chapter 73 Squandering Heavenly Objects

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Squandering Heavenly ObjectsLing Chen hurriedly activated the Night Moon Saint Body, completely refining the spiritual energy that entered his body. Although the influx of spiritual energy was much greater than before, it still seemed insignificant in front of the Night Moon Saint Body. As soon as the spiritual energy entered his body, it was refined and then channeled into the Spirit Sea. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ling Chen stopped his cultivation. Instead, he began to use the mysterious Spirit Arts he had learned during the day. After fully mastering these Spirit Arts, Ling Chen began to cultivate with all his might. A night passed, and Ling Chen’s cultivation level had actually jumped from the mid-phase of the Spirit Sea Realm’s second layer directly to the latter phase! While traveling, Ling Chen had also been cultivating and had already advanced to the mid-phase of the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. As his cultivation level increased, the efficiency of his Night Moon Saint Body’s cultivation also improved significantly, so such a substantial overnight improvement did not surprise him too much. As the dawn appeared, Ling Chen ceased his cultivation. "Squeak!" The doors of the two rooms opened, and both Ling Yunfei and Lin Xiaodu rushed out. "What a rich concentration of nature’s spiritual energy!" Their faces were filled with astonishment. They couldn’t figure out why, after just one night, the spiritual energy here had become much denser! They had just woken up and felt that something was off. To their surprise, the courtyard’s spiritual energy had become richer. "How strange, the closer to Ling Chen’s room, the denser the spiritual energy is!" Ling Yunfei said, perplexed. "Yes!" Lin Xiaodu nodded: "Could it be that Brother Chen’s cultivation has attracted all this spiritual energy? Could it be a Heavenly Rank Spirit Technique?" She was utterly astounded. "Impossible! Our Ling Family doesn’t have such a high-level Spirit Technique!" Ling Yunfei said. A Heavenly Rank Spirit Technique was generally cultivated by experts in the Primordial Pill Realm. He himself practiced only a medium-quality Xuan Rank Spirit Technique, which was already the highest level in the Ling Family besides what the Family Head practiced. Lin Xiaodu smiled and said, "Then how do you explain this phenomenon?" Ling Yunfei was at a loss for words. "The mysterious Spirit Arts that Ling Chen has used, they are not from your Ling Family, are they?" Lin Xiaodu asked. "No." Ling Yunfei nodded. The medium and high-quality mysterious Spirit Arts Ling Chen had displayed, he indeed had not seen before. Only for the Cloud Smoke Step and the Cloud Mist Palm was he somewhat familiar. "Since that is the case, then the possibility of Ling Chen cultivating a Heavenly Rank Spirit Technique is not impossible. Only this can explain it." Lin Xiaodu smiled. Saying this, she no longer paid attention to Ling Yunfei and excitedly knocked on the door: "Brother Chen, are you up? Sister has something to discuss with you!" "What is it?" Ling Chen’s voice came through, followed by the opening of the room door. He was in a good mood due to the progress of last night’s cultivation. "Did you cultivate last night?" Lin Xiaodu got straight to the point. Ling Chen nodded and said, "Yes." "Is it a Heavenly Rank Spirit Technique that you were cultivating?" Lin Xiaodu stared intently at Ling Chen with shining eyes. "Heavenly Rank Spirit Technique?" Ling Chen was taken aback. Soon, he understood; last night, due to some excitement, he had fully activated the Night Moon Saint Body to its limit. Now that his cultivation had just finished, the spiritual energy in the air probably hadn’t completely dissipated yet, hence sparking Lin Xiaodu’s suspicion. "No." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ling Chen shook his head. "Then why is the nature’s spiritual energy here so dense?" Lin Xiaodu asked. "Just as expected!" Upon hearing that, Ling Chen knew his guess was correct. With a thought, a Spirit Stone appeared in his hand. "Snap!" Spiritual Power surged from Ling Chen’s right hand, and with a slight force, the Spirit Stone was crushed. Instantly, countless streams of Spiritual Energy dissipated from the broken Spirit Stone. Lin Xiaodu was completely dumbfounded. She had never seen anyone waste so recklessly! Not absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone, he directly crushed it, letting the Spiritual Energy escape before absorbing and refining it — isn’t this just too wasteful! "Do you understand?" Ling Chen smiled slightly. Saying so, Ling Chen walked past Lin Xiaodu and took a seat on a stone bench in the center of the courtyard. Without cultivating a Spiritual Technique and without the Night Moon Saint Body being able to directly attract Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone, this was a makeshift plan he had come up with. Unexpectedly, it came in handy just to deal with Lin Xiaodu. A Heavenly Rank Spirit Technique is something even Primordial Pill Realm powerhouses covet. He didn’t want to be targeted by a bunch of Primordial Pill Realm powerhouses because of it. He could only resolve it in this manner. Wasteful it may be, let it be wasteful, after all, he does not rely on Spirit Stones in his usual practice. Watching Ling Chen’s back, Lin Xiaodu was speechless for a long time. Ling Yunfei, on the other hand, looked full of resentment. Being from the same Ling Family, why was there such a big difference in treatment? Ling Chen also finally calmed down. In the following days, Ling Chen spent his days cultivating his Divine Soul and learning cultivation knowledge, while at night, he practiced his Spiritual Power and Spirit Arts, leading an incredibly fulfilling life. Three days later, at dawn. "All True Martial Academy prospective students, assemble immediately at the central Martial Arts Arena, anyone who doesn’t show up within a quarter of an hour will be considered to have given up!" A resounding voice rang throughout the entire estate. In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of students surged out from the various courtyards of the estate and appeared at the Martial Arts Arena. Those who could gain the chance to enter True Martial Academy were naturally no ordinary people; many practiced with extreme diligence. With the support of their family resources, even those with only eight stars of talent could reach the standards of the True Martial Academy. Thus, very few would harbor any laziness, and most had already gotten up to start a new day of cultivation. When Ling Chen arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, many were already waiting there. At this moment, in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, a high platform hosted many Cultivators standing. There were even some confident-looking young cultivators among them. Dressed in various colored robes, they all had one thing in common: the word "True Martial" embroidered on their chests. Clearly, these were people from the True Martial Academy. The prospective students below the platform were assessing those above, whispering among themselves, looking at the platform with eyes filled with respect. Ling Chen was no exception. He noticed that the young cultivators’ aura was extremely powerful, definitely above the fifth layer of the Condensing Qi Realm. As for the other cultivators, he couldn’t sense them at all. Even one of them, a middle-aged man in a black robe with gold trim on the sleeves, was especially oppressive to him, even more so than the pressure he felt from Qin Lie and Li Hongluo, clearly a Primordial Pill Realm powerhouse! The quarter-hour time arrived. The middle-aged man stepped forward and announced loudly, "Time’s up. Very well, two hundred and sixty-seven prospective students, all present!" "I am an Elder of the True Martial Academy, you may simply call me Elder Bai!" "First, congratulations on qualifying to join True Martial Academy! However, this does not mean that you will definitely become a student of our True Martial Academy. Only those who pass the review overseen by this Elder can truly be considered passed." "Before we proceed with the review, let me introduce to you the classification of students at our True Martial Academy." "There are three types of students in True Martial Academy, categorized as Outer Palace Students, Inner Palace Students, and Core Disciples." "For genius talents with ordinary spiritual bodies, cultivation is the standard for judging your status. However, for the super-genius with Spiritual Bodies, as long as one possesses a Spiritual Body, they are directly promoted to Core Disciple!" "Core Disciple?" Su Qingyun’s face showed ecstatic joy. He possessed a Golden Spirit Body, wouldn’t that mean he would directly become a Core Disciple? "Ling Chen, you wait for me! The next time we meet, I’ll definitely repay the humiliation you gave me—a hundredfold!" Su Qingyun gritted his teeth.
