Chapter 52 – Organ Tempering Ninth Layer, Strength Skyrockets!
by spirapiraSu Xing’s previous Body Tempering cultivation had been at Bone Forging Second Layer.
Yet in this simulation, his cultivation had directly reached Organ Tempering Ninth Layer — a massive leap in Body Tempering cultivation! What’s more, this Body Tempering cultivation was the kind with all Pill Poison purged. Su Xing naturally had no reason not to choose it.
Of course, the energy points required for Organ Tempering Ninth Layer were enormous — a full one million energy points.
Adding the 100,000 energy points needed for the talent, Su Xing’s current energy points weren’t even enough.
Left with no choice, Su Xing could only sell off some equipment he had stockpiled in advance as reserves, barely scraping together 1.1 million energy points.
【Ding. You have chosen to bring out Organ Tempering Ninth Layer cultivation. Cost: 1,000,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 100,103 points.】
【Ding. You have chosen to bring out the blue talent Innate Divine Strength. Cost: 100,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 103 points.】
Su Xing stared at his remaining 103 energy points, wanting to cry but having no tears. Over two weeks of diligent accumulation, and it was all gone overnight — right back to square one.
But it was all worth it!
After the simulator’s notification chimed in Su Xing’s ears, his body underwent a tremendous transformation.
Su Xing felt the power within his body surge explosively in a short time, his aura climbing violently.
Bone Forging Third Layer… Bone Forging Fifth Layer…
Bone Forging Great Perfection!
In mere dozens of seconds, Su Xing’s cultivation had climbed from Bone Forging Second Layer all the way to Bone Forging Great Perfection!
And the strength in Su Xing’s body had multiplied several times over, the power in both his arms reaching over 200,000 jin!
But it wasn’t over yet.
Su Xing’s physical power continued to accumulate. After reaching a certain critical threshold, Su Xing felt a shackle within his body shatter through.
Organ Tempering!
Su Xing hastily turned his perception inward and discovered that all his internal organs were coated in a faint golden light. The golden light continuously condensed inward before finally merging into the organs and vanishing from sight…
Organ Tempering First Layer was far from the limit of Su Xing’s simulation this time!
Over the next several minutes, Su Xing’s physical power continued to climb in intermittent surges.
Organ Tempering Second Layer… Organ Tempering Third Layer…
Organ Tempering Fifth Layer… Organ Tempering Eighth Layer!
Finally, after breaking through to Organ Tempering Ninth Layer, Su Xing felt the speed of his cultivation’s ascent gradually slow before stabilizing at Organ Tempering Ninth Layer!
“Just like that… Organ Tempering Ninth Layer?”
Su Xing still felt as if he were in a dream. From the second simulation where he had obtained Body Tempering Great Perfection cultivation, all the way to the current eighteenth simulation, he had never once been able to bring out Body Tempering cultivation from a simulation.
Su Xing had even died from bodily explosion in several simulations precisely because he had tried to break through to Organ Tempering.
But it had all been worth it. Through patient accumulation and explosive release, Su Xing had directly become an Organ Tempering Ninth Layer cultivator.
If he could break through once more, it would be the fourth realm of Body Tempering — the Primordial Martial Realm!
Su Xing entered the Blessed Spirit Field, sat cross-legged, and let his awareness continuously explore his own physical body. He could feel just how formidable the power within his frame had become.
“Although this Body Tempering cultivation came without side effects, my mastery over this body’s strength is still far too lacking… I should spend more time getting familiar with it.”
Over the following week, Su Xing did not refine any pills. Instead, he focused on familiarizing himself with his body’s power.
Breaking through from Bone Forging Second Layer to Organ Tempering Ninth Layer in a single day was like a beggar suddenly winning a five-million-yuan lottery — naturally, he needed to take time getting accustomed to it before he could truly do justice to such a gift.
After spending several days familiarizing himself in the Blessed Spirit Field, Su Xing gradually gained mastery over his body’s strength.
“I just don’t know exactly how powerful I am now… At Bone Forging Great Perfection I already had 200,000 jin of force. My current strength — could it have broken through the one-million-jin mark?”
When someone suddenly gains enormous power, without testing it, they simply have no way of knowing exactly how strong they’ve become.
“Perhaps I should find somewhere to test just how much strength I really have…”
To be safe, Su Xing swallowed a Disguise Pill he had refined long ago. After completely transforming into an entirely different appearance, he waited until the school’s training facility was empty, then sneaked inside.
Within the spacious facility, dozens of specially-made strength training machines were arranged in rows.
These strength training machines were designed for close-combat Class Users.
After a Class User broke through to a new level, they would often gain considerable attribute points. Magic-type Class Users typically experienced greater increases in mental power and needed to continuously cast skills to fully master their abilities.
Melee Class Users, especially strength-type and speed-type, also needed constant training after their attribute points increased in order to fully master their own power.
Capital City Academy possessed exactly these kinds of facilities, capable of helping Class Users quickly master their strength and speed.
It was currently deep into the night, and there were only a handful of people training in the entire facility.
This was precisely Su Xing’s intention — after changing his appearance, training in a place with few people around would avoid attracting too much attention.
Su Xing walked up to a strength training machine labeled Gold rank. This machine could theoretically withstand the full-force attack of a strength-type Gold rank Class User.
As an Organ Tempering cultivator — the third realm of Body Tempering — Su Xing’s strength should theoretically be equivalent to that of a level-30 Gold rank strength-type Class User.
Su Xing strode up to a strength training machine in the corner, took a deep breath, and threw a punch.
BOOM!
A thunderous crash rang out. The specially-made machine, three meters in each dimension, was completely demolished.
Su Xing stared blankly for a moment, then frowned:
“This Gold-stage strength training machine… seems a bit too fragile, doesn’t it?”
Su Xing’s single punch obliterating the training machine instantly drew the attention of the few people in the facility.
“Whoa, one punch to destroy a Gold-stage strength training machine. If I remember correctly, the Gold-stage training machine can withstand up to 100 tons of force, right?”
“This upperclassman looks unfamiliar! Did he just break through to Master-stage and come to the training facility to show off?”
“Could someone who just broke through to Master-stage really possess this kind of power? Even some veteran strength-type Master-stage Class Users probably can’t reach 100 tons of force with a single punch!”
“Hiss… A peak Master rank Class User? Could this upperclassman be one of the strongest fourth-years? But we’ve never seen him before.”
On the other side of the training facility, several Class Users watched Su Xing from afar with admiring expressions, whispering among themselves.
Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly. He didn’t want to be noticed by other students, but he still hadn’t achieved his goal of testing his true strength. So Su Xing quickly walked over to a strength training machine labeled Master rank.
He gathered his power, and threw his punch!
BOOM!
Su Xing’s fist smashed forward, and the entire training machine trembled. Su Xing glanced at the number displayed on the machine, a look of surprise crossing his face.
He then threw several more punches in succession. Only after confirming the readings weren’t wrong did he swiftly leave the training facility.
