Transmigrated into a Novel as the Villain, All the Heroines' Personas Changed - Section 39

She ground her pearly teeth, furious, utterly furious.

Then she frowned and snorted. "Why does this brat have an array of such a grade here?"

Xu Chen had not possessed one in her previous life. Could it be that someone here was secretly protecting him?

"Could it be Bu Fengshuang? After all, in the entire Jixia Academy, she alone is destined to become a Ninth Rank Ultimate Array Master."

"Damn it, it must be Bu Fengshuang. That damned woman has probably awakened her memories too and foresaw everything in advance."

Shangguan Luoyun said in shame and irritation.

What she hated most were women with high intelligence, and Bu Fengshuang was ruthless and sparing with words.

Almost no one Bu Fengshuang set her sights on had ever escaped.

Shangguan Luoyun took a deep breath. "With Bu Fengshuang protecting Xu Chen, it seems he truly will be fine. I should retreat."

Her purpose in wanting to cook raw rice into cooked rice with Xu Chen was nothing more than to protect him better.

Since Bu Fengshuang had gotten there first, she could restrain herself a little.

"Humph! You little bitch, don't even think of getting Xu Chen."

Now that Shangguan Luoyun knew the truth, she could not help stomping her foot.

After all, Bu Fengshuang's other purpose was to stop her from forcibly taking Xu Chen.

With that, she moved, vanishing completely from outside Xu Chen's residence.

Elsewhere, Bu Fengshuang opened her eyes and chuckled. "So it was Shangguan Luoyun who made a move. Interesting."

Her Ninth Rank Ultimate defensive array was not something that could be broken so easily.

At present, no one within the Academy should be able to break it.

Inside Xu Chen's cultivation room.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chen cultivated with his eyes closed, yet the aura of his divine consciousness surged madly into the surroundings like raging waves.

For martial artists, the stronger the soul, the stronger the divine consciousness they could release. It could even damage another's divine consciousness and kill without leaving a trace.

Above the Seventh Rank, one's soul could leave the body and carry divine consciousness to endlessly distant places.

However, leaving the body had its drawbacks as well. If attacked, one might never return to the physical body.

Xu Chen opened his eyes and withdrew his divine consciousness. The air ceased churning as well.

"Early Fifth Rank divine consciousness. Not bad."

Xu Chen said with satisfaction.

Only with the Spirit Refining Emperor Soul Art and the insights from Ninety-Nine Cycles of Reincarnation could he reach such a level.

With another martial art, it would have been absolutely impossible to attain Fifth Rank divine consciousness in merely three days.

He stretched lazily. "Next, I'll cultivate some martial arts."

After pondering for a long time, Xu Chen recalled a low-grade Earth-tier martial art from his memories: the Indestructible Diamond Saint Body.

This martial art resembled body refinement, but it was not entirely the same.

Body refinement usually required a great quantity of spiritual herbs, but this martial art did not.

The Indestructible Diamond Saint Body automatically produced a layer of Body-protecting Qi outside the body when one was attacked.

This Qi could reduce fifty percent of the opponent's attack, then reflect one hundred percent of the attack back at them.

That layer of Body-protecting Qi was what made it formidable.

Cultivating it usually required someone with monstrous talent.

"I'll need no more than one day."

Xu Chen chuckled.

He had cultivated the Indestructible Diamond Saint Body in his previous life. He was incomparably proficient with it, knowing it inside and out.

Thus, what he needed now was not cultivation, but familiarity.

As long as he familiarized himself with it a few times, he could perform it instantly. Perhaps he would not even need a day.

With that thought, Xu Chen began circulating the mental art of this martial skill.

In an instant, spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered, all of it converging around his body.

Yet this spiritual energy did not enter his body. Instead, it coiled around the surface of his skin.

Once it accumulated to a certain extent, this spiritual energy would transform into Qi.

About four hours later, the spiritual energy began undergoing a qualitative change.

Buzz!

The invisible, colorless spiritual energy instantly transformed into pale golden Qi, distinct and clear.

Xu Chen seemed to be shrouded in golden Buddha's Light, his entire body glowing brilliantly.

"This Body-protecting Qi cannot be pierced by blades or swords, nor broken by spiritual energy!"

"Before this Qi, the Haoxuan Thousand Swords is trash."

Xu Chen chuckled.

He would not take the initiative, but if Ye Xuan attacked him, Ye Xuan's expression would surely become very ugly.

Cultivating this martial art was incredibly satisfying!

PS: 7 updates! Begging for all kinds of support!!!

"There are still three days left. I'll cultivate my realm next, preferably breaking through to the Fifth Rank."

"However, I currently have no pills, so I can consider a cultivation method instead."

Xu Chen pondered.

The purpose of a cultivation method was not offense, but to increase the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and alter its nature.

In the end, he recalled the Heaven-tier Cultivation Method from his previous life, the Immortal Undying Art.

It was not that he lacked Saint-tier or Emperor Rank cultivation methods.

It was simply that their grades were too high for him to cultivate at the Fourth Rank.

The Immortal Undying Art was currently just right for his realm.

Once his realm rose in the future, he could simply switch to another.

"The Immortal Undying Art can not only increase spiritual energy absorption efficiency by a hundredfold, but spiritual energy will also carry vitality within it."

"In other words, as long as an injury is not fatal, the Immortal Undying Art can heal it. Minor injuries can even heal instantly."

"To be honest, among Heaven-tier cultivation methods, this is truly a top-tier one."

Xu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

The cultivation method Ye Xuan practiced was also rather extraordinary: the Exotic Fire Heavenly Cloud Art.

That was why Ye Xuan's flames were so special.

But if they were truly compared, his Immortal Undying Art was slightly superior.

After all, as long as he did not die, he could remain completely undying.

Buzz!

With that thought, Xu Chen began cultivating the Immortal Undying Art.

The invisible, colorless spiritual energy around his entire body also turned green.

The green spiritual energy naturally carried life force, capable of swiftly driving away deathly energy.

Three days later, Xu Chen's realm began changing rapidly as well.

Boom!

After a long while, Xu Chen's realm directly leaped from late Fourth Rank, passed Fourth Rank perfection, and charged straight into early Fifth Rank.

For a full quarter of an hour, Xu Chen continued assaulting this realm.

In the end, Xu Chen's realm stabilized at early Fifth Rank.

Under the refinement of this cultivation method, Xu Chen completely stabilized at early Fifth Rank.

At this moment, whether it was his realm, soul, divine consciousness, or even physical body, all had reached the Fifth Rank.

So balanced, so formidable—even senior students could not compare.

Even some Academy elders would feel ashamed of themselves upon seeing him.
