Dual S-Rank, "Flame Body Tempering Technique"!

During this period, Zhou Zhe activated Self-Configuration and Triple Focus. Using the Wind Element Body Tempering Technique as a blueprint, combined with Dugu Xiu's special physique, and leveraging his own mastery of Elementary Planar Cryptography, he finally created a supernatural secret manual – the Flame Body Tempering Technique!

Originally, according to Zhou Zhe's initial plan, he intended to use the Heart of Heavenly Tribulation and the power of Qianfeng Tribulation Lightning to create a lightning-attribute cultivation technique suitable for himself.

However, the level of this Extraordinary Organ was too high. To date, its development had only reached a meager 3%, and he hadn't fully mastered it, let alone used it to innovate and create something supernatural.

Now, the self-created secret manual had been recognized by the mysterious notebook.

[Flame Body Tempering Technique (4/4): Physique greatly increased, Burst Power greatly increased.]

It was created at max level from the start!

While it might seem unreasonable, this was actually the normal situation.

After all, Zhou Zhe had to cultivate the technique himself to ensure there were no problems before he could continue to deduce the next level.

Zhou Zhe had also undergone a secondary test using the Advanced Talent Testing Instrument during this period – the initial test had used a more basic instrument, and the data was not accurate.

The report showed that Zhou Zhe's highest elemental affinity attribute was S-rank for "Lightning," followed by A-rank for "Wind." As for "Fire," it barely reached E-rank, but…

After diligently teaching Dugu Xiu for a period, Zhou Zhe gradually understood some profound principles from him, and his own cells were constantly undergoing transformation.

Zhou Zhe, without realizing it, gradually developed powerful fire resistance!

He could even consume flames to replenish his own energy consumption!

In the most recent talent test, Zhou Zhe discovered that his Fire Element Affinity had unknowingly become S-rank!

This is likely what is meant by "mutual learning and growth"…

Even so…

Neither "S-rank Lightning" nor "S-rank Fire" had been recognized by the mysterious notebook and recorded in the talent section.

"I've become stronger now!"

With a thought from Zhou Zhe, a cluster of flame, as red as blood, appeared on his fist.

Absorb flame, store flame, use flame!

The Flame Body Tempering Technique he created, besides the functions mentioned above, was mainly used to improve burst power and physique.

Although it had some overlap with the Wind Element Body Tempering Technique, it could also complement it and compensate for the shortcomings in burst power.

Zhou Zhe felt that after creating the Flame Body Tempering Technique, his overall combat power had increased by at least fifty percent compared to before!

Stamina, speed, agility, burst power, absolute strength, technique, equipment…

Any shortcoming that was addressed could bring about a huge improvement and leap in overall strength!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhou Zhe felt a slight fluctuation from the Black Sword Shield Brand on the back of his hand.

On the five stars, a bronze light flickered intermittently, as if it might change at any moment.

"I can't hold it back anymore."

The so-called Gladiator rating not only considered hard power but also took into account fame, consumption points, exchange options, arena matches, and other factors.

Other excellent Cosmic Gladiators, from being complete novices to advancing to Bronze Gladiator, required at least four matches.

However, Zhou Zhe had only participated in one…

From a dialectical perspective, there were pros and cons.

Zhou Zhe rubbed his chin with his left hand and spread his right hand in front of his eyes, where a golden-green lightning glow floated. A thoughtful look crossed his eyes: "Originally, I wanted to accumulate strength and consolidate my foundation to the extreme, and then after advancing to Bronze, I would surge forward and multiply my combat power several times. Now, it seems my foundation is still a little lacking."

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhe's eyes sharpened. Within the golden-green lightning glow in his palm, strands of scarlet flames appeared, like a lotus pedestal phantom, indistinct and blurry, making them impossible to see clearly.

Elements intertwined, flickering incessantly, radiating brilliance, dazzling and spectacular.

Wind!

Lightning!

Fire!

The current Zhou Zhe had mastered three elemental supernatural powers!

After confirming that the Flame Body Tempering Technique had no fatal flaws, Zhou Zhe used his mind to imprint its content onto the Myriad Heavens Forum and posted it in a private section called "Swift Wind Group."

The function of the "private section" was not accessible to everyone.

Only Cosmic Gladiators above Black Iron Three-Star had the qualification and permission to use it.

The Swift Wind Group section was naturally established by Zhou Zhe, and its users were all members of the Swift Wind Pavilion.

This included Zhang Miaoran, Chang Hanshan, the female assistant, Coach Li Shanhe, as well as Jinuo, Dugu Xiu, and all the students from the Supernatural Affairs Department.

Originally, Zhou Zhe was only responsible for its creation and didn't visit often, so it became a good place for students to chat, blow off steam, and exchange cultivation experiences.

Now, in a thread filled with nothing but meaningless chatter, a post titled "Flame Body Tempering Technique" suddenly appeared, immediately attracting the attention of many students who were currently posting.

To some extent, the significance of the Flame Body Tempering Technique to Earth was far greater than that of the Wind Element Body Tempering Technique.

After all, when cultivating the former, only fire was needed, and the entry barrier was extremely low, allowing cultivation even at a slow pace.

As for the latter…

Not everyone possesses Wind Element Affinity.

Several minutes passed, and Zhou Zhe was multitasking.

He was simultaneously trying to overcome the final hurdle of "Elementary Planar Cryptography," tempering his body with the three elements of wind, lightning, and fire, and scanning the numerous replies to the post.

"Whoa! Instructor Zhou Zhe actually posted!"

"No way! Is this person named 'Respect' really Master Zhou?"

"Are you stupid? 'Respect' created this private section, the 'Swift Wind Group.' What do you think?"

"Hey, hey! Let's stay on topic! Is no one paying attention to the main post? It's about the "Flame Body Tempering Technique"! I skimmed through it, and it feels like this secret manual, when cultivated to its peak, is no less inferior to the "Wind Element Body Tempering Technique"!"

"Less inferior? It's better! Both are fundamental extraordinary scriptures. Although the descriptions say they have different focuses when cultivated to the apex, in reality... the "Flame Body Tempering Technique" is absolutely superior to the "Wind Element Body Tempering Technique"!"

"Why?"

"Can't you use your brain? The cultivation of the "Flame Body Tempering Technique" uses flame, not fire elements. Do you know what that means?"

"Hiss!!! Oh my god! Does that mean all Chinese people in the future can cultivate it?"

"Not necessarily. After all, this "Flame Cultivation" was just created by the instructor. Whether there are any flaws or shortcomings, and whether it can be suitable for everyone, is hard to say. We are the first batch of people to try it! If it's truly going to be popularized, it'll probably take some time."

See you tomorrow at noon~
