Chapter 252: 252

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Spirit Transformation Realm was only the second grade among the nine grades of the superhuman cultivation system and could only be considered to be the middle stage of Earth Realm, so it was only average . But in the superhuman circle, if they were to use a rather professional phrase to describe this realm, it would be “a village mayor was still a government officer even if his rank is low . ”

Superhumans were found only one in a hundred, so one-star superhumans or even broken-star superhumans were very rare .

And there were plenty of people who were stuck at Spirit Tattoo Realm even after they had cultivated for four years in their university .

If anyone could reach two stars soon after their awakening, it meant that they had the potential to continue growing .

Once they entered society, if they were two-star superhumans, they would definitely be referred to as elites .

And when it came to corporations, they would definitely be able to get the position of project managers .

In the military, it would be very easy for them to get a position of a platoon commander .

Qin Hu had spent five years to become a two-star superhuman .

And how long did Meng Chao take? Five months?

“He’s not a normal two-star superhuman,” Lu Siya said with a solemn expression . “I’ve never seen a monster like him before!”

Qin Hu looked in the direction of her gaze and saw Meng Chao’s body shining with flowing light . His spirit tattoos looked as if they were alive as they traveled through his body . They enveloped and nourished his organs, and he instantly understood what she meant .

Usually, after a superhuman awakened to supernatural abilities, unless it was absolutely necessary, it was impossible for them to clear all 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians .

It was just like how it was impossible for top-class martial artists on Earth to learn all the martial arts on Earth .

There were further specializations within every field, and the time, energy, and resources they had did not allow the superhumans to develop in all areas .

Even if the rich children had been bathing in superbeast blood since young, ate a lot of valuable resources, and were incredibly talented, just like Sun Ya of Agricultural University’s martial arts course, they still faced limitations, even if they cleared nearly one hundred main meridians .

Most of the superhumans had enough main meridians cleared once they cleared sixty main meridians .

During the process of moving from a one-star superhuman to a two-star superhuman, a superhuman used spirit energy to repeatedly refine around ten of the most important and commonly used main meridians among the dozens they had cleared . Then, once they were crystallized, their volume runoff and strength would continue increasing .

During the process of moving from a two-star superhuman to a three-star superhuman, the superhuman used the ten crystalized spirit meridians to strengthen certain organs . It could be the heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, some bones, muscles, and nerves . Those organs would then gradually gain the crystallized quality and turn into something that was semi-energy, semi-material .

Once they reached Heaven Realm, their vitality magnetic field would become stronger . Then, they could use the strengthened organs to target certain parts in the brain and activate all sorts of amazing divine abilities .

This was a scientific cultivation method that humans had figured out after decades of research . It was considered to be the traditional cultivation method since it was stable and had a high chance of success .

Even those who reached Deity Realm were not omnipotent . They placed emphasis on certain things, such as certain organs, certain sulci, and certain regions in the brain to strengthen . It was impossible for them to be invincible in all areas .

There were quite a number of life science scientists who had imagined a superhuman perfecting each realm before advancing forward to the next .

When they were one-star superhumans, they cleared all 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians .

When they were two-star superhumans, they crystallized all their spirit meridians and turned them into the incredibly powerful crystal meridians .

When they were three-star superhumans, they turned all their organs, muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves into something that gave off the partial presence of pure energy .

If they continued like that and reached Deity Realm, how strong would they be?

In the end, however, they came up with the conclusion that it was impossible .

Even if they poured all the cultivation resources in the Other World and Dragon City on one superhuman with extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for such a thing to happen .

They lacked one resource that they could not lack—time .

Time treated everyone fairly .

Even if a person had extraordinary talent, was born with a silver spoon, was loved and supported by powerful families, they would only have twenty-four hours a day and would not have an extra second more or less than a poor person .

No one could obtain twice the time .

And no one could live twice .

No one could reach absolute perfection either .

But in Lu Siya and Qin Hu’s eyes, at that moment, Meng Chao was closer to perfection than any other superhuman they had ever seen .

Or perhaps it was because they did not have a lot of knowledge of the world and had never heard of any peerless elite in Dragon City who were able to shine with such radiance while they were one-star superhumans or two-star superhumans and ran into an accident like Meng Chao .

Both of them had complicated emotions in their hearts .

Suddenly, Meng Chao grunted and took half a step forward .

One spirit flame instantly crept into the small cave from the crack behind him .

The temperature in the cave immediately climbed up by at least five degrees Celsius .

It was only then that the two realized just what terrifying power Meng Chao was currently blocking .

“We have to go back!” Lu Siya moved forward . “We have to help Meng Chao!”

“There’s… There’s no need for that, right?” Qin Hu said hesitantly . “He’s being really brave . He can withstand the spirit energy tsunami alone . I really can’t handle it . I’m weak…”

“Nonsense!” Lu Siya glared at him . “If I die here, don’t even think about getting a single penny! If he dies, it’s the same!”

Qin Hu slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth . He crawled to his feet, and with his powerful arms, he helped Meng Chao support the swaying crystal wall . “Stop talking about money . Money is only for bastards . I only care about the code of brotherhood!”

An unknown amount of time passed with them working together .

The spirit energy tsunami from the Red Radiance Jades did not just wreck havoc in the small cave .

It also crept up hundreds of cracks and went to Raging Waves . It shot into the air like a volcano eruption .

Countless superhumans who were either cultivating or fighting fiercely in Raging Waves, Graveyard Forest, and Shattered Starlake saw the unbelievable sight .

Thousands of red pillars of light shot into the sky, illuminating the cloud-covered sky until it gave off a crystalline shade of red .

Then, the red light scattered and turned into various shades of incredibly bright lights .

Immediately after, a brilliant, warm, and rich rain of light poured down .

The specks of light danced in the air like swan feathers and snowflakes . They were like spring rain that nourished the earth silently . They rained on the mountains, the plants, the lake, and the humans and other living beings generously . It treated all of them as equals .

All the humans and monsters could sense their vitality magnetic fields getting stronger . It was as if flames had burst forth from the deepest parts of their cells, mitochondria, and genetic chain .

Humans and monsters were all exposed to the rain .

The difference between them was that the humans had a scientific cultivation method and could adjust their vitality magnetic fields to resonate with the spirit energy released from the crystal mine deep underground . Then, they could absorb the ancient power that came from billions of years ago into their bodies and refine it .

The monsters could only use their instincts to absorb the spirit energy passively . The benefits they gained were less than one-tenth of what the humans gained .

But the Apocalyptic Beasts had some cultivation and ways to evolve .

However, before they could make use of them, they were located by the Deity Realm elites from Dragon City .

Raging Waves burned with spirit flames, and it was their battlefield . A final fight at a scale never seen before .

Meng Chao had a nightmare . It seemed like an illusion, but also felt like reality .

The nightmare was very long . It was so long that he thought that he was living through a completely different life .

But the thunderous roars from beyond the nightmare reminded him time and again not to get lost in the depths of his nightmare .

When he woke up, he was stunned for a total of three minutes . Then, he realized just what mission he was currently carrying out and where he currently was .

The world in front of him had become completely different .

He remembered that before he fainted, he was in a natural mine .

And now, while the Blue Origin Crystals still looked the same, they had lost their lustre and turned into dull and brittle normal rocks . With a touch, they would shatter and crumble .

‘This mine is dead . ’ A strange thought rose in Meng Chao’s mind . ‘It fought against the spirit energy tsunami from the Red Radiance Jades, and the fierce resonance caused them to release all their energy, so they were drained and died . As for the spirit energy that they released…’

Meng Chao widened his eyes and looked at Lu Siya, who levitated in the middle of the cave with light surrounding her . She looked brilliant .

At that moment, she was no longer covered in wounds and was no longer drained of spirit energy . She no longer looked pathetic .

She had regained the domineering air she had when Meng Chao first saw her, and her ambition could be seen clearly in her eyes .

Meng Chao felt that Lin Chuan’s death and the experience from their mission had allowed her to break free of some sort of shackle . She now wore a brand new armor covered in spikes and became even more aggressive than before . She was like a drawn sword .

Lu Siya levitated in the air and carefully observed the tattoos on her palms .

Then, she made a light snap .

Dozens of sharp spikes immediately shot out of the walls in the cave . They rose and fell like the teeth of a zombie .

Immediately, the fangs intersected with each other to turn into a brand new stone snake that was even fiercer than before .

The stone snake slithered swiftly over the wall like a living creature .

Occasionally, it disappeared into the wall . Then, it would reappear in another spot to snap its jaws at a target that did not exist .

At the same time, two pits full of spikes appeared on the ground .

‘When Lu Siya summons those stone snakes in a fight, she could use two pits full of spikes to lock down the enemy’s legs or make them have nowhere to stand .

‘What a diabolical, ruthless method that can catch people off guard!’

Qin Hu sat in a corner in a state of deep meditation . Even though he did not shine as brilliantly as Lu Siya, Meng Chao could vaguely feel that his body was stuffed with a lot of spirit energy, since it spilled out of every pore . He was like a statue carved from a crystal, and his spirit energy was so high that he broke through Earth Realm .

“We survived!” Meng Chao had managed to live through the disaster, and he was delighted . “Big Sis Ya is right, when the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals crash into each other, they cause waves and resonate with each other, which turned this place into a super cultivation room . Both of you have become so much stronger!”

His words made Lu Siya stop testing her Spike Art .

Qin Hu also snapped out of deep meditation .

Both of them stared at Meng Chao with a very strange look .

It was the type of look poor-performing students would give to an ace student when a test’s results were announced and the ace student came over to say, “Whoa, both of you did really well . You improved a lot!”
