Chapter 227: Do you go into the dungeon without bringing potions?
At the moment when Gu Xi was accompanying Xu Lingjun to the Gravity Room.
In Li Jingjun's room.
Since Wang Qingya left, she had once again plunged into frantic cultivation.
Staying up all night, day and night...
Xu Lingjun hasn't seen her for several days.
And at this moment, in her room.
The young girl's expression was extremely solemn. Though she was sitting cross-legged, within her body, there were bursts of explosions, as if True Qi was violently crashing within.
Compress, then compress again.
The purer the compression, the smoother the road ahead would be. It's just pain, she could bear it.
The more it hurts now, after passing through this agony, there would be a sense of relief and happiness.
Suddenly, Xu Lingjun's face flashed across Li Jingjun's mind... this pain could also be considered something he brought, couldn't it?
Grandmother was dissatisfied with her slow progress, actually surpassing her by peers of the same age.
But she only felt fortunate, fortunate that there was someone like him above her, pressing her down, always letting her know her own depth, her self-perceived resilience, facing him like an open door, with no resistance.
That's fine, it gave her the motivation to strive, leaving no room for arrogance, because she was still being pinned down, unable to turn over.
And the fact proved her thoughts right.
After entering Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion and learning about Xu Lingjun's existence.
Li Jingjun clearly felt that her progress in strength was faster than ever before.
This session of the Four Mansions Trial, in fact, was a practice for the older students, where the new students might just enter those low-level Secret Realms to hone themselves.
But Li Jingjun felt that she might also join it.
In fact, she never dared to imagine this before...
Thinking of Xu Lingjun.
Li Jingjun, who was initially somewhat agitated, gradually calmed down.
Slightly relaxed her rapid breathing, adjusting herself back to her best state.
Then...
Her mind suddenly became clear.
True Qi was completely trapped within her Dantian, unable to move, and then started to flow slowly again.
She could feel that something seemed different.
The originally thin True Qi quickly became heavy.
The Huichuan Realm, breakthrough achieved.
Li Jingjun took a Replenishing Pill into her mouth.
Replenishing the missing Primordial Qi in her body, feeling this elixir quickly transformed into heavy True Qi within her, merging with her own True Qi.
If the True Transformation Realm was to purify True Qi, then Huichuan was to refine the purified True Qi to the level of an ocean or an abyss.
With the aid of the elixir, catching up to Xu Lingjun was simple.
Though catching up like this might be taking advantage, resources themselves are a form of power... Xu Tongxue, don't blame me for taking this advantage.
Li Jingjun did not rest, instead continued cultivating.
Even though she had broken through a major realm, she didn't feel any joy, continuing to cultivate as if the breakthrough was just a small realm, with nothing worth celebrating.
At this moment.
Inside the Gravity Room.
Two hundred times gravity.
Though Xu Lingjun's physique was strong, enduring two hundred times gravity at once, his internal organs and limbs seemed to be simultaneously pressed by thousands of pounds of heavy stones, creating extreme discomfort. Only the presence of a blood membrane made his endurance extremely strong, otherwise, he might have already vomited blood.
But the more extreme the environment, the faster the circulation of the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique", clearly feeling all the energy inside his body being transformed into Blood Qi immediately, then into nourishment for the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique", and finally into True Qi, enhancing the strength of his True Qi.
At this moment, in such a harsh environment, he had just finished battling with Gu Xi.
Or rather, sparring.
Having broken through to the Huichuan Realm, facing Xu Lingjun, Gu Xi no longer needed to suppress her cultivation. Even though she was a whole realm ahead of Xu Lingjun, his extraordinary defense allowed him to possess the strength to cross realms to fight.
The result was, both of them lay on the ground unable to move.
Breaking through a major realm.
The "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" also had excellent benefits, with its time forcibly compressed to three seconds, meaning if added with the "Qiantian Gang Qi", he might reach two seconds, perhaps.
Even without the "Qiantian Gang Qi", "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" can be used in actual combat.
And the presence of "Reckless and Irresponsible" further elevates his destructive power to another level... Just now, without using "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation", he suddenly used Reckless and Irresponsible for a move against Gu Xi.
Right now, Gu Xi's hand is still trembling~ According to her, it felt like two electric drills were madly drilling at the point of collision between them, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise. Although the power of the two electric drills lessened significantly, combined, their power increased greatly.
It made her both numb and tingling, and now she's paralyzed all over and can't get up...
Xu Lingjun didn't dare to use the Armor-Piercing Peak Seven-Spin Finger.
Otherwise, Gu Xi might have really been drilled into trouble by him by now.
At this moment, both of them were lying on the ground breathing heavily. Gu Xi lifted her head, smoothing her hair that was already drenched in sweat, and said, "After sparring with me, weren't you always able to energetically jump to the next round of training? Why are you resting this time? What, afraid I'll swindle you?"
"It's nothing, just discovered a new side of myself."
Xu Lingjun lay on the ground without moving, quietly feeling the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" devour the True Qi that Gu Xi had bombarded into his body earlier during their fight, forcibly converting it into blood Qi, just as it usually devours blood Qi.
Clearly, he took a strike at 60% of Gu Xi's power, which would normally leave a Huichuan Martial Artist unable to even crawl up.
Yet not only did he not feel pain, on the contrary, he felt energetic, as if he had taken a Ten Complete Great Replenishing Pill.
Xu Lingjun felt like he finally understood what the special ability of the fourth stage of "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" was.
He asked, "Sister Xi, has your True Qi decreased?"
Gu Xi lay helplessly on the ground, as if she had just been violated by Xu Lingjun, weakly asking, "What do you mean?"
"I'm asking how much of your power you've recovered now?"
"About 70%, maybe today's training with you was too exhausting, today's recovery of True Qi seems especially slow. Normally, I would have already fully recovered by now."
Xu Lingjun suddenly understood...
So the fourth-level attribute of "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" was actually to devour others' True Qi?
North Nether Divine Skill?
Doesn't quite seem like it. The North Nether Divine Skill can actively absorb others' True Qi into one's own body, but my "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" seems only to forcibly absorb the True Qi blasted in by others...
But the True Qi absorbed by North Nether Divine Skill is impure and mixed, whereas the True Qi devoured by my "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" is directly converted into blood Qi, and blood Qi doesn't have the notion of pure or not, does it?
What's the difference between this and eating beef or lamb stew?
Just now, after being heavily punched several times by Gu Xi, Xu Lingjun actually felt like he had eaten a meal of the blood and flesh of mysterious races of the heavens in the cafeteria, full.
Even slightly overstuffed.
So if I just take hits, I won't need to eat?
But this might have some effect on Gu Xi, fortunately, a person's cultivation is like a bucket, and the process of cultivating is to constantly widen the bucket, Gu Xi is already this wide, even if Xu Lingjun siphons off some True Qi, she can quickly recover without even noticing anything unusual.
After all, she doesn't need to expand anymore; she just needs to refill the part that's been siphoned by Xu Lingjun.
Xu Lingjun softly said, "I'll rest for a bit, I'm a bit stuffed now."
"What?"
Gu Xi looked at Xu Lingjun with surprise, thinking whether sparring with me made him satiated or what?
But seeing Xu Lingjun wasn't joking, he really lay there rubbing his stomach to digest his food.
She could only sigh with relief, inexplicably feeling a sense of unprecedented contentment in her heart...
Xu Lingjun's strength is already very strong.
In just a few short months since enrollment, he can be said to have completely transformed.
Just now during their sparring, she didn't really hold back, though she was suppressing Xu Lingjun throughout, but Xu Lingjun didn't use his trump card, things like "Qiantian Gang Qi," how could Gu Xi not know Xu Lingjun uses this martial skill as easily as eating and drinking?
Facing a Profound Realm Martial Artist, still able to maintain balance while holding back, participating in a mere Huichuan Realm trial is naturally out of the question.
So, she can finally be at ease doing her own things now.
"In three days, the students from the other four mansions will arrive, once they're all here, we'll enter the Secret Realm together, Xiaojun, remember to be careful, don't rashly get into conflicts with those students, and, make sure to prepare more elixirs and potions beforehand, they can save your life at critical moments."
She nagged at Xu Lingjun like an old nagging mother, "At this time don't skimp on academic credits, remember that as long as you're willing to invest, you might gain more this time than entering the Secret Realm ten times, but the chances of getting hurt are also over ten times higher, so you must spend where needed. Do you have enough academic credits? If not, I can lend you some... after all, with your resilience, I don't need to save up two hundred as a baseline, right...?"
As she spoke, seeing Xu Lingjun's somewhat odd expression on his face.
Gu Xi asked, "Don't tell me, you're out of academic credits?"
Xu Lingjun then realized, blankly said, "I've guaranteed my Father Wang's store with all my academic credits."
He then smiled, "No worries, as long as I go back to the Secret Realm for a few days, there'll be more academic credits..."
"The Secret Realm closed three days ago, it won't open again until the trial starts."
Gu Xi looked at Xu Lingjun like he was an idiot, speechless, "Have you never played games? Don't you ever take small potions when going into dungeons?"
Xu Lingjun: "......................"
