Golden Body Transforms Again

Doesn't this mean he already knew the "history" behind it?

Sure enough, Zhao Qinghan's body stiffened slightly as she lay on his back.

She had no idea that Wang knew the inside story!

"You definitely aren't!" Wang Xuan quickly tried to salvage the situation.

However, he found that the more he explained, the worse it got. It's best not to talk about this kind of topic; the more you explain, the more problems arise. He started running away as fast as he could; he really didn't have time to think about anything else now.

After surveying the area from the mountaintop, the extraordinary Great Dragon seemed to have discovered some clues and gave chase.

"A psychic monster is indeed terrifying; it has sensed something!" Wang Xuan's expression changed.

Behind them, some ancient trees exploded. The Great Dragon displayed its power during its pursuit, which was quite terrifying. Thorns and bushes were all crushed, and even large trees blocking its path would collapse instantly.

Wang Xuan realized that the two Crocodile Dragons from before were indeed just juveniles, and he had inadvertently guessed correctly.

"Am I speaking the truth?" He felt he couldn't speak carelessly anymore, as his words kept coming true.

He knew that it was not a coincidence, but mainly because there were too many monsters, and all kinds of extraordinary species lived in the depths of the no-man's land.

"It's getting closer!" Zhao Qinghan, lying on Wang Xuan's back, saw the terrifying beast shadow on the distant mountain peak; it was incredibly oppressive.

The Great Dragon easily tore apart a three-story-tall mountain tortoise along its path, its blood staining the forest red—a truly shocking sight.

That kind of mountain tortoise has amazing defensive power, and even Great Grandmaster can't hurt it. But it was no match for the Great Dragon and was instantly torn to pieces.

Wang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that even though he was a Grandmaster, he was only equivalent to a cub of some extraordinary species in the secret realm. The gap was too big.

If they were discovered and caught, the Great Dragon would sweep its tail, and he and Zhao Qinghan would be turned into a pile of mixed meat paste, without any suspense.

While fleeing for his life, he pondered whether he could turn back and smash the Great Dragon into mincemeat if he mastered the Golden Body Art to the ninth or tenth level.

The only saving grace was that although the Great Dragon caught up with them, it couldn't pinpoint their exact location, as they kept veering off course, which the dragon would then correct.

Wang Xuan leaped down from a high ground, and after running a little over a mile, the cliff face of that high ground exploded, revealing the terrifying body of the Great Dragon.

Many stones crashed into the nearby forest, startling various wild beasts into fleeing in panic.

Fortunately, after getting extremely close this time, the Great Dragon deviated from its course again.

"Could it be dragon meat?"

"Dragon meat!"

Both of them thought of this problem at the same time. Although there was a special "collection bag" to isolate the smell, it was possible that the Great Dragon still had some sense of it.

Wang Xuan swiftly caught up with a feline creature, which was over two meters long and fast and agile. He rushed over and pinned it down, quickly tying the dragon meat to its body before turning and running away.

Zhao Qinghan felt dizzy. Just now she only felt that Wang Xuan ran fast, but she didn't have a clear concept of it. Now that she realized he could catch up with a big cat that was as big as a tiger and leopard, she immediately realized how fierce he was.

This time, Wang Xuan remained silent, fleeing at all costs, occasionally smashing through thorny bushes as he pushed his speed to the limit.

Even someone as powerful as him, who had mastered the Golden Body Art to the sixth level, was now covered in sweat and exhausted. He was truly running at full speed.

At that moment, his heart was pounding loudly, like a drum.

As Zhao Qinghan lay on his back, she could clearly feel the powerful throbbing; there was an astonishing, vibrant energy within this young body.

Wang Xuan was sweating profusely. He dared not stop or look back. Not long ago, he had truly felt the threat of death and could only flee at all costs.

Sometimes, Wang Xuan would jump directly off the low cliff. The huge impact made Zhao Qinghan feel like the world was turning upside down, but her classmate was fine. His feet shattered the ground, and after a slight stumble, he steadied himself and continued running.

She clung to Wang Xuan's neck, afraid to let go lest she be thrown off. Feeling the whistling wind in her ears, she noticed that Wang Xuan was running faster and faster, as if his body would never run out of energy.

Wang Xuan traversed mountains and valleys, leaped across streams and jumped off cliffs without any problems, but it made Zhao Qinghan, who mainly cultivated mental techniques, feel a bit carsick.

On several occasions, Wang Xuan tumbled down the steep slope.

Half an hour later, Wang Xuan slowed down slightly. He hadn't heard the Great Dragon's roar for a long time. Had it shaken off?

After running for a while, he slowed down more and more until he finally stopped, panting heavily, and said, "Should I have gotten rid of him this time?"

Zhao Qinghan quickly got off him to lighten his burden.

During his escape, Wang Xuan's clothes, soaked by the lake water, were dried by the wind, but later became wet with sweat again.

This time, he was almost completely exhausted and was quite tired.

However, he quickly regained his spirits. He was finally able to take the elixir and was quite looking forward to it. Unfortunately, he didn't get to eat the dragon meat.

Zhao Qinghan looked down and realized how embarrassing it was. Her clothes were also soaked with Wang Xuan's sweat. She could only pretend not to notice and casually straightened herself up.

Not long after, Wang Xuan, who was a germaphobe, found a spring, went in fully clothed, and washed himself.

"Aren't you going to take a shower?" Wang Xuan asked when he returned.

Zhao Qinghan glared at him, and soon after, she returned from Qingquan's place, her clothes still wet.

"The time for dividing the spoils, no, the time for dividing the treasure has arrived!" Wang Xuan didn't have time to admire her wet curves; improving his strength was the most important thing in this life-or-death situation.

Zhao Qinghan sat down with her knees drawn up to her chest, trying to remain calm.

Wang Xuan, beaming with joy, stuffed a shimmering lotus petal into his mouth with one hand and handed Zhao Qinghan a Spirit Nurturing Lotus with the other, truly radiating a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

He was so happy that he almost promoted Zhao Qinghan, since he had demoted her earlier. But the words "Big Zhao" were on the tip of his tongue, and he quickly swallowed them back.

It's fine to call her Old Chen or Old Qing normally, and Old Zhang is barely acceptable since Zhang Daoling has no hope of coming out for the time being. But calling Zhao Qinghan like that when you're in a good mood will probably cause trouble.

After swallowing those two words, Wang Xuan said, "Hurry up and consume it before it's been picked for too long, otherwise some of its medicinal properties will be lost!"

Zhao Qinghan gathered her wet hair, a smile on her fair and delicate face, and said, "You eat first. If it's helpful to you, you can take it all. Improving your strength is the most important thing in this dangerous no-man's-land."

"Am I the kind of person who eats alone? Hurry up!" Wang Xuan shoved it into her hand.

Zhao Qinghan shook her head, with glistening water droplets falling from her hair. At this moment, even her snow-white neck and face were covered with dew-like crystal water marks, making her look like a lotus emerging from the water.

But she was more vibrant than the Spirit Nurturing Lotus in rosy light before us.

"The more you improve your strength, the safer I will be. Stop passing the buck, Little Wang, be more decisive!" Zhao Qinghan said earnestly.

She is not delicate; she is decisive in making any decision.

However, when she pushed him away with both hands and stood up slightly, she lost her usual composure and calmness. Forgetting that she was soaking wet, she quickly sat back down, concealing her curves, and remained silent.

Wang Xuan smiled brightly. He didn't say anything more, but swallowed the Spirit Nurturing Lotus in large gulps, then closed his eyes and silently savored the experience.

Soon, the medicinal properties of the Spirit Nurturing Lotus became active, his spiritual realm trembled, emerged autonomously, and began to expand.

As expected of a miraculous medicine, the effects of this Spirit Nurturing Lotus exceeded his expectations!

Originally, he had only formed a part of his spiritual domain, which was not complete. But now, his spiritual power is constantly improving, and the medicine has activated his own spiritual energy, releasing his own mental power!

Wang Xuan sat cross-legged, silently circulating the several-hundred-word scripture "Primordial Furnace Forging Spirit," which he had gleaned from Qin Hong by New Moon.

Ultimately, Wang Xuan's spiritual realm was fully formed, and his mental power grew stronger, laying a solid foundation for the "Burning Lamp" realm of the Supernatural Domain ahead of schedule.

He then consumed a second Spirit Nurturing Lotus, but stopped after eating only half a flower because he felt the effect was minimal; his mental state was stable and there were no obvious changes.

He put down the flower and found Zhao Qinghan looking at him with a strange expression, seemingly both surprised and somewhat bewildered.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xuan asked her, wondering what had gone wrong.

"Your face... is peeling!" Zhao Qinghan said.

Wang Xuan was startled and touched his face. He immediately realized that while he was focusing on the spiritual realm, his body was also slowly transforming.

His Golden Body Art is slowly transitioning from the sixth level to the seventh level. He has practiced the Golden Body Art for a long time, and all his flesh and blood cells have memorized this physical technique. Now that he has received nourishment from Spiritual Matter, the Golden Body Art is breaking through along with his body.

"Why is your skin peeling?" Zhao Qinghan noticed that not only was Wang Xuan's face peeling, but his neck and hands were also starting to peel.

Wang Xuan realized that some of his secrets had been leaked, and the girl was very perceptive and must have made various relatively accurate guesses.

"The sun in the Secret Realm is so strong, it's scorching." He calmly replied, while slowly assuming the stance for the Golden Body Art, stretching his body, feeling the significant increase in his strength!

Zhao Qinghan glared at him without saying a word, thinking to herself, "Are you kidding me?!"

Finally, she couldn't stay calm. Looking at Wang Xuan's new face, it was so smooth! She couldn't resist touching it. This kind of technique was perfect for her!
