Chapter 94 – The Marvel of Primordial Force, Strength Skyrockets!

Chapter 94 – The Marvel of primordial force, Strength Skyrockets!

【You familiarized yourself with your body’s strength and attempted to master the newly acquired primordial force.】

【You discovered that primordial force was also a special power that could be cultivated, and it seemed to have unique applications. However, you had no means to research it further and could only employ it in the most rudimentary ways.】

【Several days later, you emerged from seclusion.】

【At this point, the situation at Demon-Sealing Pass was deteriorating by the day, with more and more powerful human warriors dying in battle. But you knew that with your current strength, you still couldn’t change the tide, so you devoted the vast majority of your energy to improving your cultivation.】

【Year Twenty-One: You consumed three jin of ferocious beast blood essence, one Primordial Martial Pill, and dozens of jin of Spirit rice daily.】

【With the King of Gluttons talent boosting you, your Body Tempering cultivation and physical strength improved rapidly, with visible progress every single day.】

【Year Twenty-Two: You trained diligently day and night, seizing every last moment to enhance your power.】

【Year Twenty-Three: Through your relentless cultivation, your Body Tempering cultivation approached the Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer.】

【Year Twenty-Four: Heaven rewards the diligent. Your Body Tempering cultivation successfully broke through—you became a Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer cultivator!】

【That same year, Demon-Sealing Pass fell, and the human race plunged into a monumental crisis.】

【One day, that familiar colossal beast descended once more, swallowing the entire nation of Great Xia in a single gulp.】

【You fought back with all your might, but a mere Primordial Martial cultivator was less than an ant before the colossal beast. Along with an entire continent, you were devoured.】

【You died!】

【Your talent Die With Eyes Open activated. All you saw was darkness.】

【Ding! This simulation has ended!】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a long breath of relief. The improvement from this simulation was obvious—after accumulating gains across multiple simulations, Su Xing’s Body Tempering cultivation had reached the second layer directly!

The King of Gluttons talent deserved much of the credit, but the Primordial Martial Pills and Demonic Beast Blood Essence were the true keys to Su Xing’s advancement.

“So, this world only lasted twenty-four years as well…”

Su Xing furrowed his brow slightly and murmured.

“Perhaps around twenty-five years is the current limit for delaying the apocalypse. After all, mid-tier combat power offers limited improvement to Demon-Sealing Pass and the overall situation. To further postpone the apocalypse and extend the simulation’s duration, what’s truly needed is an increase in high-end combat power!”

Su Xing closed his eyes and pondered, repeatedly analyzing whether there were any improvements to be made in this simulation, or any key information he might have overlooked.

After a moment, Su Xing opened his eyes, having formulated a more refined plan for his next simulation.

“First, the Luotian Assembly instance—I should visit it in the next simulation. Once I redeem my rewards this time, with Primordial Martial Realm cultivation plus Nascent Soul cultivation, exploring that instance shouldn’t pose any danger…”

“As for Old Dog Zong… that old mongrel is hiding some significant secrets! In the next simulation, I need to plan more carefully and ensure I kill Old Dog Zong on the spot, so I can inherit his legacy…”

Having finalized his plans, Su Xing turned his attention to this simulation’s rewards.

【Unstoppable Bedspear】: Blue talent. Price: 100,000 energy points.

【Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer】: Body Tempering cultivation. Price: 2,000,000 energy points.

【Twenty-Four Years of Alchemy Experience】: Alchemy insights, including Minor Mastery-level experience with the low-grade Primordial Martial Pill and partial experience refining the Mind-Condensing Pill. Price: 600,000 energy points.

【Divine Sense, 1500 Meters (Five Senses Realm)】: At this realm, divine sense functions like the five senses—like eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body—allowing you to perceive every movement within a 1500-meter radius. Price: 3,800,000 simulation energy.

【Heavenly King-Grade Beast Flesh Essence, 50 Jin】: The concentrated essence of a Heavenly King-grade demonic beast’s body, containing vast quantities of life energy. Price: 5,000,000 energy points.

Su Xing looked over this simulation’s rewards and thought for a moment.

“That beast blood essence is really that expensive? Fifty jin of flesh essence costs 5,000,000 energy points!?”

Su Xing was somewhat shocked. He had originally planned to extract some of the beast blood essence for use in future simulations.

But now that he saw it, the beast blood essence was far too expensive—redeeming it would be a losing proposition.

However, a second thought brought a glint of excitement to his eyes.

“Wait—fifty jin of beast blood essence is worth 5,000,000 energy points. Based on the simulator’s conversion rates, the difference between redemption price and energy conversion is roughly tenfold… which means fifty jin of beast flesh could convert into 500,000 energy points. That’s actually not bad at all…”

Su Xing paused, then followed this line of thinking further.

“If that’s the case, then once I become strong enough, I could hunt demonic beasts and foreign races to convert into energy. And since demonic beasts are practically infinite in number, wouldn’t that mean I could obtain even more simulation energy?”

At this thought, Su Xing’s eyes lit up. He had vaguely discovered a new avenue for rapidly acquiring simulation energy.

“But that’s all for the future. For now, let me redeem my rewards first!”

After brief deliberation, Su Xing silently declared:

“I choose to redeem the Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer cultivation and the Twenty-Four Years of Alchemy Experience!”

Redeeming the Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer cultivation was a no-brainer—after all, breaking through to the Primordial Martial Realm had been the entire purpose of this simulation.

As for the choice between alchemy experience and divine sense, Su Xing still leaned toward the alchemy experience.

After all, it contained Minor Mastery-level Primordial Martial Pill knowledge, and more importantly, experience in refining the Mind-Condensing Pill.

With this experience, Su Xing was confident he could elevate his Mind-Condensing Pill refining to Minor Mastery level in the next simulation. At that point, improving his divine sense realm would become far easier, so there was no rush.

As for the Unstoppable Bedspear talent—while Su Xing very much wanted it, right now the priority had to be increasing his strength!

【You have chosen to extract Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer cultivation. Cost: 2,000,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 6,522,333 points.】

【You have chosen to extract Twenty-Four Years of Alchemy Experience. Cost: 600,000 energy points. Remaining energy: 5,922,333 points.】

The simulator’s notification sounded in Su Xing’s mind.

First, Su Xing felt a wealth of new alchemy techniques flood into his consciousness. His alchemy experience had taken another great leap forward—he now grasped the methods for refining both the Mind-Condensing Pill and the Primordial Martial Pill.

Then came the cultivation breakthrough!

A mysterious energy enveloped Su Xing’s physical body.

He felt his aura begin to surge continuously, his physical strength escalating dramatically.

In just a few short minutes, Su Xing’s Body Tempering cultivation broke through to the Primordial Martial Realm and continued climbing.

Only when his cultivation reached the Primordial Martial Realm, Second Layer did the growth finally cease.

“So this… is primordial force?”

Su Xing extended both hands, gazing at the invisible energy coiling around his arms.

He had an instinctive sense that he could release this energy in short bursts, drastically amplifying his physical strength and destructive power. He could also wrap primordial force around the surface of his skin as a layer of defense.

“No wonder Body Tempering cultivators can surpass Qi Refinement cultivators in combat prowess—this primordial force truly is an exceptional offensive tool.” Su Xing murmured softly, then felt a surge of curiosity.

“I just wonder—how much stronger is my physical power now compared to before?”

Su Xing first tended to the spirit plants growing in his Spirit field. Only when the sky had grown dark did he leave the Blessed Spirit Field and head to the school’s training facility.

He swallowed a Disguise Pill and combined it with a Breath-Concealing Pill. From the outside, Su Xing now looked like a completely different person—even his aura was vastly different from before.

After confirming there were no oversights, Su Xing entered the training facility.

It was the dead of night, and for once, the training facility was completely empty.

Taking advantage of the solitude, Su Xing walked over to the strength-testing machines.

He bypassed the Master-stage training machines entirely and went straight to the Grandmaster-stage strength training machine.

The Master-stage training machine could only withstand a maximum of 500,000 jin of force. Su Xing was confident his strength far exceeded that, and he didn’t want a repeat of last time—smashing the machine to pieces would be bad news.

“Hoo~”

Su Xing took a deep breath, gathered his qi in his dantian, channeled all his strength, and threw a punch.

A row of numbers appeared on the strength training machine.

“768,000 kg!”

Su Xing threw several more punches in rapid succession.

“777,000 kg!”

“769,000 kg!”

“756,000 kg!”

After firing off several punches, Su Xing finally stopped, a pleasant surprise welling up inside him.

“Over 750,000 kilograms—that means my strength is a full five times greater than the 300,000 jin I had at Organ Refining Realm, Ninth Layer!”

“Is this… the power of the Primordial Martial Realm?”

Over 1,500,000 jin of force—considerably higher than even Su Xing’s own expectations.

After testing his base strength, Su Xing didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he tried wrapping primordial force around his fist and threw another punch.

“Hah!”

Su Xing bellowed as he struck. With primordial force coiling around his fist, this punch represented the full extent of Su Xing’s power.

BOOM!

What Su Xing hadn’t expected was that this single punch shattered the entire training machine into pieces.

This gave Su Xing quite a shock. After all, the Grandmaster-stage strength training machine had an upper limit of 1,000,000 kilograms!

That was supposed to be an absolutely safe threshold—even for strength-type Class Users, no amount of raw power should have been able to reach that figure.

There were even rumors that 1,000,000 kilograms was a number only a newly-advanced Heavenly King-stage Class User could achieve.

“Well, this is a headache!”

Su Xing scratched his head and turned his gaze to the training facility’s sole Heavenly King-stage strength training machine.

This machine could withstand attacks from Heavenly King-stage powerhouses.

Su Xing walked up to it and wrapped primordial force around his fist.

The next second, he threw his punch!

BOOM!

The force, breaking the sound barrier, slammed into the specialized soft material at the front of the strength training machine. The entire apparatus absorbed the impact and fed back Su Xing’s precise power reading.

“1,080,000 kg!”

Over two million jin!

This was the absolute limit of Su Xing’s physical strength when enhanced with primordial force.

And one could easily imagine—Su Xing’s mastery of primordial force was still rudimentary. Once he achieved full control, his power would be even greater!

“An increase of roughly one-quarter in raw strength, plus extreme destructive power… hiss, this primordial force is truly remarkable!”

Su Xing nodded with satisfaction. Taking advantage of the empty facility, he slipped away from the training grounds.

He made his usual winding detour through the campus, and only after confirming no one was following him did Su Xing return to the Dormitory.

The next morning, when the diligent underclassmen arrived at the strength training facility and saw the Grandmaster-stage machine reduced to rubble, every single one of them was dumbfounded.

“Holy crap, which god did this? They smashed a Grandmaster-stage strength training machine to pieces… could it be that one of the upperclassmen broke through to Heavenly King-stage?”

“Are you stupid? A Heavenly King-stage powerhouse would be qualified to teach at the school! It was probably some professor who accidentally broke it…”

A group of gawking female students chattered amongst themselves.

“Maybe we should check the security footage and see exactly which big shot did this?”

One curious girl suggested, and they proceeded to review the facility’s surveillance recordings.

But Su Xing had long since disguised himself. Combined with the fact that he had moved under cover of night and deliberately avoided the campus security cameras, even if they searched until the sky fell, there was no way the trail would lead back to Su Xing—an upperclassman who was practically on the verge of being “expelled.”

Over the following week, Su Xing continued refining Beauty-Preserving Pills and Healing Pills as usual.

In one week’s time, Su Xing produced five thousand pills and brought them to meet Jin Congxue.

“Huh? How come I feel like you’ve gotten taller again… You must be nearly 185 centimeters now, right?”

Jin Congxue froze for a moment when she saw Su Xing. She walked over and stood next to him to compare heights—she was nearly a full head shorter than him.

Looking at the beauty pressed so close against him, her breath warm and fragrant, the soft warmth of her skin—Su Xing’s heartbeat quickened.

“Ahem, well… I’ve been eating well lately. Maybe it’s a second growth spurt?”

Su Xing tried to brush it off.

The truth was that Su Xing had originally been 180 centimeters tall with a lean build. Now that his Body Tempering cultivation had broken through, his height had likely reached around 183 centimeters.

Jin Congxue looked at the slightly flustered Su Xing and burst out laughing. She teased:

“Little brother Su Xing, why so nervous? Don’t tell me you’re still a virgin? Want big sister to help you out?”
