Chapter 88: Golden Body?

“What benefits?” Wang Baole blinked several times and immediately began inquiring.

This time, however, the mask did not give a clear answer, instead merely telling him that all would be revealed when he absorbed the True Breath.

If it had been any other time, Wang Baole definitely would have found a way to press for an answer. In this case, he knew that the benefits would be guaranteed. Furthermore, his rage toward Gao Quan the Vice-Chancellor had occupied all his thoughts, so he did not question further, instead only gritting his teeth.

“I’ll cultivate myself for it. What do I have to do? I’ll tolerate it even if the lightning continues.”

Wang Baole’s steadfast attitude as he said those words caused the mask to flash and vibrate several times. Lines of words appeared afterward. Considering just the types of cultivation techniques alone, there were already several listings. There were also numerous pills that Wang Baole had not even heard of. Lastly, a time period was stated, informing Wang Baole that if he followed the plan, he would only need three years to reach the Golden Body realm.

Looking at the cultivation techniques listed, Wang Baole was already troubled. As he saw the list of pills, his heart pounded. When his gaze finally landed on the time period of three years, his eyes nearly fell out of their sockets, and he began laughing bitterly.

“You must have another way. Alright, Little Missy, let’s stop fooling around. As long as you’re able to allow me to attain a Golden Body within a month and defeat the True Breath expert, I’ll do it, no matter what it is!” Wang Baole was straightforward in his words because he could no longer withstand the indignation.

The moment Wang Baole completed his sentence, the mask flashed again. This time, without taking very long, a solution that could allow Wang Baole to attain the Golden Body was listed!

It was a challenge to become the Golden Body within a month through legitimate means. One would have to go through hellish cultivation methods in order to reduce their original cultivation to Pulse Enrichment, regain their Physical Seal, before breaking through the Physical Seal back into the Pulse Enrichment stage. It was all a cycle.

A cycle like that needed to be repeated dozens of times. The entire process was akin to smithing, with the repeated tempering eventually resulting in steel being forged! Furthermore, regarding the point of reducing his original cultivation into Pulse Enrichment, it was possible to cause actual harm to him even in the hallucination realm.

Even though it was unorthodox, there were no repercussions to this method. The only challenge was withstanding the indescribable hardship throughout the entire process!

The solution that flashed on the mask right now made Wang Baole’s heart pound furiously. He exhaled deeply, looking cautiously at the mask.

“Actual harm? Little Missy, we’re not enemies, are we? I merely want to get back at him. This method of yours seems… too ruthless.”

Hearing Wang Baole words, the mask flashed once again. It appeared that it had been angered as numerous curved lightning bolts that were on the brink of eruption appeared on the mask. Frightened, Wang Baole immediately stepped back and left the hallucination realm.

When everything disappeared and Wang Baole reappeared in the cave abode, he sat there with frustration all over his face. On the one hand, he wanted to take revenge, but on the other hand, the solution given by the mask was something that he felt was unreliable. He was truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

Looking to escape from his frustration, he began browsing through the Spirit Intranet. However, as he read through the discussions about his eligibility being revoked and reinstated, his frustration only grew.

Without thinking much, he turned on the voice transmission ring to send a voice transmission to Vice-Chancellor Gao Quan.

“Vice-Chancellor Gao, I can bear with your earlier attempts to expel me and your collusion with Lin Tianhao to have me killed, but this time, I want an explanation!”

Gao Quan had previously been overseeing the College Discipline Department of the entire Dao College, making Wang Baole his subordinate. That was why Wang Baole had the voice transmission details of Gao Quan.

Right after he sent the voice transmission, Wang Baole stared at the voice transmission ring, waiting for Gao Quan’s reply. However, after an hour of waiting without any response, Wang Baole revealed a fierce gaze as he gritted his teeth.

No matter. Since you are unwilling to give me an explanation now, I’ll beat you up until you explain yourself!

Wang Baole carried a ruthless expression as he immediately sent a voice transmission to Xie Haiyang, requesting to borrow the numinous treasure that could deceive one’s mind again!

It was a smooth process of borrowing the numinous treasure this time. Before long, Xie Haiyang arrived and passed Wang Baole the numinous treasure. After he saw the expressionless Wang Baole, he knew better than to ask the reasons behind his request and left quickly after a few words of consolation.

After sending Xie Haiyang off, Wang Baole sat solemnly with his legs crossed in the cave abode. Closing his eyes, the solution presented by the mask floated in his mind. After a brief moment, his eyes opened suddenly, and he retrieved several Rainbow Spirit Stones to begin carving inscriptions that could allow him to gather Spirit Qi.

The purpose of the inscriptions was to empower the Rainbow Spirit Stones to absorb most of the Spirit Qi from the surroundings. Only when he had carved sufficient inscriptions on the Rainbow Spirit Stones did Wang Baole put them aside, drawing a deep breath to ready himself, and enter the hallucination realm.

“Little Missy, let’s begin!”

The instant Wang Baole said those words, a bright glow flashed from the mysterious mask. A black flash of lightning shot out immediately, striking Wang Baole, who was too slow to hide or react.

As the lightning traveled through his body, an indescribable, excruciating pain that far exceeded what Wang Baole had experienced before erupted continuously in waves, overwhelming Wang Baole’s body and mind.

He could clearly feel that the lightning carried a destructive power, tearing apart his flesh, breaking his bones, and severing his meridians the moment it entered his body. It was as if he was being sculpted from the very beginning, undergoing a remolding process that would transform him completely!

The pain was too overwhelming. Even he was screaming in agony, spurting out bright red blood as his body fell to the floor, convulsing. The pressure created by the transformation process was continuously compressing his Blood Qi and his cultivation. After suppressing his Pulse Enrichment cultivation to the fullest and compressing his Blood Qi to solidness, he went from Pulse Enrichment to Physical Seal!

The entire process continued for an entire hour. Wang Baole’s screams gradually weakened, but he did not once fall unconscious. After going through the entire process of compression and falling, he picked himself up weakly when everything ended, his body trembling and drenched in sweat. With a will to not collapse, he left the hallucination realm.

After reappearing in the cave abode, Wang Baole was pale and ashen but revealed a look of ruthlessness in his eyes. He began refining Spirit Stones. Right now, refining the Spirit Stones were not the key—his focus was to boost his spirit fat!

Using this method, he wanted to accumulate sufficient spirit fat in the shortest time possible before breaking through to the Pulse Enrichment realm again. The Rainbow Spirit Stones surrounding him were boosting the surrounding Spirit Qi so that the devouring seed in his body could increase its rate of absorption!

“Gao Quan, just you wait!” Wang Baole growled with a low voice. The devouring seed in his body exploded outward for the first time, releasing all restraints and absorbing Spirit Qi from all directions as if it was torturing itself. The Rainbow Spirit Stones surrounding Wang Baole were all shimmering as Spirit Qi was sucked in with breathtaking speed similar to a churning wave. Wang Baole’s body was like a black hole, devouring all the Spirit Qi it could.

Everything happened at lightning speed, and if anyone had been watching, they would have been able to see Wang Baole’s body expanding ceaselessly. After an unknown period of time, all the Rainbow Spirit Stones surrounding him had broken down while Wang Baole’s body had grown so huge that he was occupying more than half of the cave abode.

It was difficult for him to even open his eyes. As he clenched his jaw, mustering all his capabilities to pick up the numinous treasure that could deceive his mind, he adjusted himself slightly and sent an order to his brain.

He told his own brain that he had already continuously run for more than a year at his top speed.

The moment the order was given, Wang Baole’s eyes stared wide open, his mind so busy with activity that it was about to explode. Within his humongous body that was trembling vigorously, spirit fat was dissolving quickly, transforming into Spirit Qi that was being absorbed, causing his Blood Qi to burst from within.

The entire process continued for a long while. When everything ended, Wang Baole’s cultivation had broken through again, reaching the Pulse Enrichment realm. He sat there, giving off an entirely different vibe, as if his abilities had advanced even more, to the extent that he seemed to carry the ferocious air given off by the half-step True Breath elder who had previously led the men in black.

That was especially so when the mysterious mask released strikes of black lightning once again in order to suppress his cultivation. In the process, countless mysterious substances were produced, slowing being absorbed by and integrating into his body!

It really works! Wang Baole began to feel excited as he took a deep breath, entering the hallucination realm once again to start the cycle that would transform him into the Golden Body.

Just like that, Wang Baole relentlessly underwent the processes of compression under the effects of the black lightning. His cultivation continued alternating between the stages of being compressed into the Physical Seal from the Pulse Enrichment realm before breaking through, then being compressed once again…

The torturous feeling of the entire process almost drove Wang Baole crazy, but his characteristic ruthlessness was extremely prominent, especially when he recognized that the method that he was adopting was feasible. Therefore, no matter how painful the torture, he persevered. At the peak of the pain, he managed by imagining himself attacking Gao Quan.

The Golden Body can defeat a True Breath expert! Gao Quan, this time I will shatter your balls!

As the days went by, the month-long time limit gradually approached. Wang Baole’s cultivation had already reached the apex. Even though he was disheveled and beaten, if one could see him, they would definitely be taken aback by Wang Baole’s aura.

This aura had already far surpassed the Pulse Enrichment realm. Under the continuous cycles of compression, even Wang Baole was not sure of the status of his Blood Qi. Faintly, on the surface of his skin, a golden glow seemed to be given off.

Even the mysterious mask seemed to be at a loss. If there was really a spirit within it, it would definitely gasp in shock, surprised that Wang Baole could persist for so long and for so many times. That was simply unimaginable.

There had been one time when the black lightning was suppressing Wang Baole’s cultivation that a soft mumble of hesitation from a woman had emerged from the mask, but it had not been registered by Wang Baole.

“Could it be that the Golden Body is an actual thing? Impossible! What background does this Fatso have? I merely wanted to trick him since he is such an eyesore, but it seems like he really attained the Golden Body state!”
