Nine Profound Golden Body Transformation!

Kong Xin suddenly reached out and placed her hand on Lu Sheng's shoulder.

Before Lu Sheng could react, he felt a warm current flow in through his shoulder and into his body.

In an instant, the blood and flesh cells throughout his body seemed to be awakened by the stimulation of that warm current.

They frantically devoured the warm current.

Yet perhaps because that current was simply too powerful, although every cell of his flesh and blood was devouring it madly, they failed to absorb even a trace of its energy.

A moment later, the warm current slowly faded from his body.

Lu Sheng came back to his senses as well.

But when he looked at Kong Xin, he caught a flicker of shock in her eyes.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Lan Linglong, standing nearby, also sensed that something was off and asked softly.

Kong Xin looked at Lu Sheng with an extremely complicated gaze. Then she slowly spoke. Rather than answering Lan Linglong's question, she chose to answer the question Lu Sheng had asked earlier.

"Under normal circumstances, a martial artist's Blood Qi Limit depends on the strength of their body!"

"If a martial artist is treated as a container, then the size of that container determines how much blood qi it can hold!"

"And that capacity corresponds to the martial artist's physical strength!"

"So, the question you asked just now does indeed exist in a certain sense. Sometimes, the limit of one's blood qi is truly affected by physical strength!"

Hearing Kong Xin's words, Lu Sheng understood.

No wonder that when his blood qi had reached eleven, he had clearly felt the existence of a blood qi bottleneck. Yet under the enhancement of slaughter, his physical strength had improved, and that sensation had suddenly vanished.

So that was why.

"However..."

Kong Xin suddenly changed the direction of her words.

"Although the Blood Qi Limit depends on a martial artist's physical strength, that is only part of it. Once the Blood Qi Limit reaches a certain degree, no matter how much one improves their physical strength, they can no longer continue raising their Blood Qi Limit!"

"After all, how much water a container can hold depends not only on its capacity, but also on how sturdy it is. If the container is not sturdy enough, pouring too much water into it will sooner or later make it unable to bear the pressure, causing it to shatter completely!"

"So, physical aptitude is only one part of it. The greater part still depends on a martial artist's talent!"

Kong Xin looked at Lu Sheng and slowly explained.

Lu Sheng nodded.

With that explanation, Lu Sheng understood.

It seems that relying on slaughter to improve my physical aptitude and thereby raise my Blood Qi Limit is indeed one method, but it cannot be a long-term solution. In the end, I still need to improve my own talent if I want my Blood Qi Limit to reach greater heights!

Lu Sheng murmured inwardly.

"Still... why has your physical strength improved so quickly?"

Kong Xin suddenly asked.

There was a trace of suspicion in her eyes.

Clearly, just one week ago, Lu Sheng's physical strength had only been comparable to that of a martial artist who had just entered the Blood Refining Realm. But just now, when she examined Lu Sheng's body—

She had shockingly discovered that Lu Sheng's physical strength was already comparable to that of a Second Layer Blood Refining Martial Artist.

Even Kong Xin had never seen such a terrifying rate of physical improvement.

As the City Guardian of Demon Slaying City, Kong Xin had seen countless prodigies. She had even seen quite a few prodigies who had come from that place.

Yet she had never seen anyone who could rival Lu Sheng in body cultivation.

This cultivation speed was simply too fast!

Body cultivation and blood qi cultivation were fundamentally not matters on the same level.

It could be said that body cultivation was several times, perhaps even ten times, more difficult than blood qi cultivation!

Yet even so, Lu Sheng had still raised his body cultivation to the Second Layer of Blood Refining in just a week.

That was somewhat terrifying!

For a moment, Kong Xin's eyes as she looked at Lu Sheng were filled with shock.

Hearing Kong Xin's words, Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

As expected, raising myself through slaughter too quickly makes it easy for people to spot some clues?

Lu Sheng could not help pondering inwardly.

Although Kong Xin and Lan Linglong treated him well, something like the system was better left unspoken if possible.

After all, if he revealed something so unimaginable, Lu Sheng had no idea what kind of reaction Kong Xin and Lan Linglong would have.

Fortunately...

Lu Sheng already had an answer in mind.

Lu Sheng put on a confused expression. "Huh? I don't know either. I just tried Standing Meditation every day, and then I improved!"

To avoid the risk of exposing the system, Lu Sheng could only disguise himself as a body cultivation prodigy!

Only that could explain why his physical strength had improved so quickly.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lu Sheng's words, the corner of Kong Xin's mouth twitched.

Good heavens, what did he mean by trying Standing Meditation every day and suddenly improving?

If those people from the Military heard that sentence, who knew whether they would tear Lu Sheng's mouth apart.

Although Standing Meditation could improve physical strength, its gains were extremely limited.

Anyone with even slightly greater ambitions in body cultivation would choose to train in body cultivation methods rather than Standing Meditation.

It was only because the Military had far too many people that they developed a method like Standing Meditation, one suitable for everyone and capable of improving physical strength.

Thinking of this, Kong Xin fell into contemplation.

Lan Linglong, standing nearby, also revealed a surprised expression. Clearly, even she was somewhat astonished by Lu Sheng's answer.

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Lu Sheng scratched his head and asked "honestly."

Lan Linglong gave a bitter smile. "There's nothing wrong with that, Junior Disciple Brother. This is clearly..."

The bitter smile on Lan Linglong's face deepened.

"Clearly the mark of a monster!!"

Lu Sheng chuckled but said nothing.

Only after a moment did Kong Xin slowly return from her silence. She looked at Lu Sheng and lightly turned her palm.

Immediately afterward, a Jade Slip appeared in Kong Xin's hand.

"Junior Disciple Brother, take this back and have a look!"

Lu Sheng looked curiously at the Jade Slip in Kong Xin's hand. It was extremely ancient and unadorned, yet Lu Sheng could sense faint, profound ripples emanating from it.

When Lan Linglong saw the Jade Slip, surprise also appeared on her little face. She looked at Kong Xin with a trace of confusion.

"What is this?"

Lu Sheng asked curiously.

Kong Xin slowly spoke.

"A body cultivation method—Nine Profound Golden Body Transformation!"
