Chapter 11 - The Profound Sun Inner Court, Hundredfold Gains!
The morning bell rang.
Rays of light pierced through the lingering mist.
Inside the room,
Luo Mu slowly closed the manual and let out a deep breath.
He had stayed in his room, studying the Profound Sun Dominating Body Technique for almost two full days.
With all the critical hits combined,
he had read it nearly ten thousand times!
Naturally, the gains were immense.
Every difficult point had been fully understood.
“Fortunately, I never skipped any of the miscellaneous courses back then.”
“My foundation in theoretical knowledge is solid.”
“Otherwise, even if I read it ten thousand times, it would have been of no use.”
Luo Mu felt relieved.
Cultivation techniques were different from combat skills.
They were closely tied to the body, so one had to understand the distribution of all the body’s organs, meridians, and pathways.
It was quite complex.
One small mistake, and things could go wrong—at worst, leading to qi deviation and exploding on the spot.
He stood up,
stretching his body.
Crackling—his bones emitted sounds like popping beans.
“I’ll have to read more books in the future.”
Luo Mu murmured softly.
With the system, even if his comprehension was average, as long as his theoretical knowledge was rich and broad, he could easily gain new insights.
He could continuously accumulate understanding
until he mastered it!
“Next up, time to start cultivating!”
Luo Mu’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
After thoroughly understanding the Profound Sun Dominating Body Technique, his grasp of it had deepened.
It was definitely a very powerful body-refining technique.
While it didn’t significantly improve his speed or recovery,
it encompassed everything else.
Especially defense.
It was incredibly formidable!
In terms of modern terminology, both physical and magical resistance had increased by nearly a hundred points.
Pushing open the door,
Luo Mu stood under the sunlight,
enjoying the sun’s warm bath.
To cultivate the Profound Sun Dominating Body Technique, the first step was to find the essence of the sun.
However, not all sunlight contained the essence of the sun.
It was quite rare.
Luck played a major role.
There were also certain spiritual materials, such as the Fire Flame Divine Crystal, that contained a large amount of sun essence.
But these spiritual items were extremely expensive—unless one had vast wealth, they were simply unaffordable.
Luo Mu had only five hundred contribution points left, so he wouldn’t even consider that option.
“Let’s begin!”
Luo Mu sat cross-legged.
He removed his shirt, revealing his well-built but not overly muscular physique.
His muscles were perfectly sculpted.
After stepping into the True Aperture Realm, his body, strengthened by the blood of Primordial Origin, could now withstand the weakest traces of sun essence.
He silently recited the technique’s incantation, and his blood vitality began to flow along the prescribed path, dispersing through his pores.
It vaguely formed a furnace of blood vitality.
The Profound Sun Dominating Body Technique consisted of two parts.
One was sensing, and the other was body refinement.
Right now, he was using the technique’s key formulas to sense and attract the sun essence from the heavens and earth.
If it appeared, he could guide it into his body.
Moments later,
Luo Mu’s expression changed slightly.
He was surprised.
He had sensed it so quickly?
Wasn’t the sun essence supposed to be incredibly rare? Was it just his good luck, or was there something special about this academy’s location?
Without thinking too much, Luo Mu immediately cut off the sensation.
Because in the ethereal sense, what he felt was a massive golden light, radiating a terrifying heat.
This level of sun essence was far beyond what he could handle right now.
If it entered his body, he would undoubtedly be incinerated on the spot.
Cultivating this technique required a gradual approach.
At the beginning, one could only absorb the weakest traces of sun essence
to form the foundation of the Profound Sun Inner Court.
Only after reaching a certain level could he absorb larger amounts of sun essence.
Time passed little by little.
An hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Four hours.
He still hadn’t sensed anything, whether large or small.
Luo Mu remained patient.
Sun essence, as the name implies, is the essence of supreme Yang. How could it be something that’s encountered often?
Patience was necessary.
Gradually, the sun began to set.
Just as a bead of sweat dripped from Luo Mu’s brow, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Finally!
He had sensed it!
It was a tiny wisp of sun essence, as small as a flame,
as if it could be blown away by the wind.
It was exactly what he needed!
Without any hesitation, Luo Mu silently recited the technique’s incantation, and the furnace of blood vitality roared to life.
The temperature rapidly increased.
Visible to the naked eye, the tiny flame-sized wisp of sun essence seemed to respond, attracted to the heat.
It flew toward Luo Mu,
gently landing on his shoulder.
Gradually, it seeped into his body!
So hot!
That was Luo Mu’s first sensation!
It was as if he were burning from the inside out.
And this was just the weakest trace of sun essence—how terrifying would the one from this morning have been?
Without wasting any time, Luo Mu circulated the technique, causing his blood vitality to surge and envelop the wisp of sun essence, constantly cutting and dividing it into countless fragments.
These fragments then surged through his entire body.
The Profound Sun Inner Court.
As the name suggests, the first step was to transform the interior of his body into an environment that could accommodate the sun essence.
Only then could he absorb stronger sun essence in the future!
Luo Mu frowned.
To be honest, the pain was beyond his expectations.
It felt like his entire body was being burned.
But he could clearly feel the improvement. Under the influence of the sun essence, the impurities deep within his flesh, skin, meridians, and bones were being burned away and reduced to nothing.
In just a few short breaths,
his physical strength had already increased by a small level!
An hour later,
the wisp of sun essence, which had been divided into countless parts, was finally absorbed by his body.
Luo Mu opened his mouth,
and to his surprise, he exhaled a stream of hot air.
The grass beneath him instantly withered and turned black.
“It’s done!”
Luo Mu stood up, a look of joy in his eyes.
The construction of the Profound Sun Inner Court was easier than he had expected.
Of course, this was mainly because he had fully understood the technique, without any doubts.
As a result, no mistakes were made.
After absorbing a wisp of sun essence, he had officially entered the entry-level stage.
The Profound Sun Inner Court had been successfully established.
However, to reach the next stage, he would need to absorb fifty more wisps of sun essence like the one before.
“If one wisp is this hard to come by, how difficult must it be to find fifty? No wonder Profound Rank techniques are so hard to cultivate—not just because of comprehension, but also due to resource limitations.”
Luo Mu murmured softly.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind.
Ding!
“You have diligently cultivated, persevering in practicing the Profound Sun Dominating Body Technique, successfully constructing the Profound Sun Inner Court, triggering a critical hit, and gaining a hundredfold increase!”
