Chapter 244: Chapter 244: A Fleeting Glimpse

"You’ve also practiced Body Refining Technique?"

Yuan Hong’s voice rang out.

At the same time, he voiced the doubts of everyone present.

Body Refining Technique is an extremely cruel Spirit Art.

This is not only reflected in its difficulty and the speed of cultivation but also in the extremely high requirements it sets on Cultivators’ physical constitutions.

Additionally, the materials required for Body Refining Technique are quite rare.

Moreover, it requires a vast amount of Spiritual Power!

It can even be described as laborious with little gratitude.

However, once one successfully cultivates it, they possess advantages unmatched by their fellow Cultivators at the same level.

The Body Refining Technique practiced by Yuan Hong likely elevated his physical body to a level comparable to the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Even so, among his peers, without considering a Super Spiritual Body, he is virtually invincible.

It was with an Earth Spirit Body, a common Spiritual Body, that he seized the qualification to participate in the Eight Palaces Martial Debate!

Although he only utilized Spiritual Power akin to the late stages of Spirit Sea Realm level nine, with the power of his physical body, he is absolutely invincible in close combat within the Spirit Sea Realm.

"Correct."

Ling Chen nodded lightly.

"What, he really practiced Body Refining Technique?"

Cheng Yuan and others exclaimed in shock.

By just looking, one can tell that Yuan Hong’s physical quality was extraordinary.

But with Ling Chen, there wasn’t a trace suggesting he had undergone Body Refining Technique.

However, the reality was that Ling Chen had completely bested Yuan Hong in physical prowess.

That is to say, Ling Chen’s physical body was stronger than Yuan Hong’s, and his Body Refining Technique was of a higher level.

Mo Han’s expression was filled with excitement.

Previously, when Ling Chen left the Academic Palace for two months, returning without any progress in cultivation level, he had some suspicions.

Now, he finally understood that Ling Chen had spent this whole period cultivating the Body Refining Technique.

"Physical body, Spiritual Power, Divine Soul!"

"Ling Chen’s talent is really..."

Mo Han was at a loss for words.

Especially in cultivating the physical body and Divine Soul, which demand exceptionally high talent.

"No wonder during the selection competition, Ling Chen was so fast!"

That’s when Mo Han realized it.

It was all the enhancements from the physical body!

At that time, he hadn’t thought about the strength of the physical body.

After all, Ling Chen’s body looked no different from an ordinary person’s, showing no signs of practicing Body Refining Technique.

"Good!"

Yuan Hong laughed heartily, eyes brimming with fighting spirit!

"I want to see to what extent junior brother has cultivated his physical body!"

Saying this, he charged towards Ling Chen once again.

This time, he directly utilized the Spiritual Power of the Primordial Pill Realm first level.

Watching the fists bombarding towards him once again, Ling Chen simply smiled faintly and said, "Senior brother, I told you, you are not my opponent!"

As the words fell, his right palm directly moved to block Yuan Hong’s fist.

"Bang!"

Another dull sound echoed.

Yuan Hong’s attack was once again blocked by Ling Chen.

"How is this possible?"

Yuan Hong’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

He had utilized the Spiritual Power of the Primordial Pill Realm, while Ling Chen still used the Spiritual Power of Spirit Sea Realm level nine.

To bridge this gap in Spiritual Power, Ling Chen’s physical body had to elevate not just by one level.

His body was at the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm, while Ling Chen’s must have reached the seventh level of Spirit Sea Realm.

Yet, Ling Chen blocked it so easily.

That only meant one thing—Ling Chen’s physical body had indeed reached the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

He knew the difficulty of cultivating the Body Refining Technique, and Ling Chen was several years younger than him. How long must he have spent to reach such a terrifying level?

Anyway, he felt that he might never be able to cultivate his physical body to such an extent in his lifetime!

"Junior brother, senior brother admires you. Shall we call it here?"

Yuan Hong smiled heartily.

His expression did not sour despite being no match for Ling Chen.

To tell the truth, he felt a kindred appreciation for Ling Chen.

After all, both men had barely qualified for the Eight Palaces martial discussion relying on the strength of their physical bodies.

Although he had not used his full strength, the fact that Ling Chen, with his cultivation at the Spirit Sea Realm, could fight him to such an extent relying solely on his physical body was enough to earn his respect.

He did not want to defeat Ling Chen by using his real Spiritual Power.

That would be too much of an unfair victory.

"Senior, thank you for your leniency!"

Ling Chen clasped his hands and smiled.

Then the two returned to the pavilion.

"Clap clap clap!"

Cheng Yuan was the first to stand up and applaud them.

He looked at Ling Chen with a smile and said, "Young Master Ling Chen, that was truly an eye-opener! If you have time, please give more guidance to Yuan Hong."

"Palace Master Cheng, you flatter me."

Ling Chen replied with a slight smile.

Ling Chen’s performance made Cheng Yuan feel greatly threatened.

A young cultivator who had refined his physical body had outperformed Yuan Hong!

Could other students of the True Martial Academy also have their own trump cards?

Then, the second student from the Netherworld Academy initiated a challenge.

He was also at the primary level of the Primordial Pill Realm and chose Yu Huai as his opponent.

Yu Huai, originally at the peak of the ninth tier of the Spirit Sea Realm and following the teachings of the Palace Master, did not use the Heavenly Spirit Technique, naturally making him no match for someone at the primary level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

This allowed Cheng Yuan’s mind to relax slightly.

Moreover, Mo Han also learned that this student possessed a Super Spiritual Body.

Next up, the third challenger was Su Tong.

His opponent was Ling Wu.

Using the middle stage of the second tier of the Primordial Pill Realm, he also defeated Ling Wu.

Cheng Yuan felt even more relaxed.

The fourth contestant.

The fifth contestant.

The sixth contestant.

The students of the True Martial Academy, without exception, all lost.

After six rounds of sparring, it all ended.

Cheng Yuan no longer felt threatened.

Aside from Ling Chen, who was somewhat surprising, the others were completely useless.

And Ling Chen, merely at the peak of the ninth tier of the Spirit Sea Realm, even with a strong physical body, posed a limited threat to his Netherworld Academy students.

Even Yuan Hong might not necessarily be defeated by Ling Chen.

Moreover, Yuan Hong was just a substitute player, probably without even a chance to compete.

Of course, even if the students of the True Martial Academy had hidden some of their strength, it would not matter much.

Hadn’t his Netherworld Academy also not exerted their full strength?

All were Super Spiritual Bodies, their comprehension similar, and with an advantage in cultivation, the victory was almost certain.

Could every student from the True Martial Academy use the Heavenly Spirit Technique?

While Cheng Yuan was contemplating this, Mo Han also learned about the strength of the Netherworld Academy students.

Aside from Yuan Hong, everyone else possessed a Super Spiritual Body.

In terms of cultivation, they indeed surpassed them considerably.

However, Mo Han believed that with the use of the Heavenly Spirit Technique, confronting the Netherworld Academy, his True Martial Academy had a good chance of winning.

"It seems the True Martial Academy is set to finish last again this time!"

Cheng Yuan mused inwardly.

Knowing that the True Martial Academy was not a big threat, Cheng Yuan became more enthusiastic.

After further exchanges for half a day, Mo Han stood up to take his leave.

Cheng Yuan escorted Mo Han and the others to the gateway of the Academic Palace.

"Ah, right, Brother Mo, why don’t you all stay in the Netherworld Prefecture for a few days? In a few days, we could set off together. Taking the Flying Divine Ship won’t be too exhausting!"

Cheng Yuan said with a somewhat proud smile.

Mo Han shook his head and replied, "Thanks, Brother Cheng, but we have too many people, the Flying Divine Ship might not accommodate us all."

"Oh, alright, then you must take care on the road. Let’s meet again at the Taiyi Academy!"

Cheng Yuan’s tone was slightly regretful.

"Sure!"

Mo Han nodded his head, then led Ling Chen and the other six people away.
