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 surge into his body from his shoulder.

In an instant, his flesh and blood cells seemed to be activated by the stimulation of this warm current.

They madly devoured this warm current.

However, whether it was because the warm current was too powerful, even though all his flesh and blood cells were madly devouring it, they couldn't absorb even a shred of its energy.

After a moment, the warm current slowly disappeared from his body.

Lu Sheng also came back to his senses.

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

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Lan Linglong, who was beside them, also sensed something was amiss and asked softly.

Kong Xin looked at Lu Sheng with an extremely complex expression, then slowly spoke, but she didn't answer Lan Linglong's question. Instead, she chose to answer Lu Sheng's previous question.

"Under normal circumstances, a Martial Artist's Blood Essence limit is determined by their physical strength!"

"If you consider a Martial Artist as a container, then the size of the container determines how much Blood Essence it can hold!"

"And the capacity is equivalent to the Martial Artist's physical strength!"

"So, the question you asked, in a sense, does exist. The Blood Essence limit can indeed be affected by physical strength at times!"

Lu Sheng understood after hearing Kong Xin's explanation.

No wonder he felt the Blood Essence bottleneck when it reached eleven, but his physical strength was enhanced under the boost of [Slaughter], and that feeling suddenly disappeared.

So, it was because of this.

"However..."

Kong Xin's tone suddenly shifted.

"Although the Blood Essence limit depends on a Martial Artist's physical strength, that's only a part of it. Once the Blood Essence limit reaches a certain level, no matter how much you improve your physical strength, you won't be able to increase your Blood Essence limit anymore!"

"After all, how much water a container can hold, besides its capacity, also depends on its rigidity. If the container isn't rigid enough, filling it with too much water will eventually cause it to break under the pressure!"

"So, physical quality is only one part; most of it relies on the Martial Artist's talent!"

Kong Xin explained, looking at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng nodded.

With this explanation, Lu Sheng finally understood.

"It seems that relying on [Slaughter] to improve physical quality and thus increase my Blood Essence limit is a method, but not a long-term one. I still need to improve my own talent to reach a higher Blood Essence limit!"

Lu Sheng murmured to himself.

"But... why has your physical body strength improved so quickly?"

Kong Xin suddenly asked.

There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Just a week ago, Lu Sheng's physical strength was only comparable to a Martial Artist who had just entered the Blood Refining Realm. But just now, when she examined Lu Sheng's physique...

She discovered that Lu Sheng's physical strength had actually reached the level of a second-layer Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist.

Such terrifying physical improvement speed was something even Kong Xin had never witnessed.

As a guardian of Demon Slaying City, Kong Xin had seen countless Prodigies, including many from that particular place.

However, she had never seen anyone who could match Lu Sheng in physical cultivation.

This cultivation speed was simply too fast!

Physical cultivation and Blood Essence cultivation were not on the same dimension.

It could be said that the difficulty of physical cultivation was definitely several times, or even ten times, that of Blood Essence cultivation!

Yet, even so, Lu Sheng had managed to improve his physique to the second-layer Blood Refining Realm within a week.

This was truly terrifying!

For a moment, Kong Xin looked at Lu Sheng with a hint of shock in her eyes.

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

"As expected, improving too quickly with [Slaughter] makes it easy to reveal some clues, doesn't it?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but ponder.

Although Kong Xin and Lan Linglong were very good to him, he preferred not to mention the system if possible.

After all, he didn't know how Kong Xin and Lan Linglong would react if he told them about something so unbelievable.

Might as well...

Lu Sheng had already made up his 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 the system being exposed, Lu Sheng could only disguise himself as a physical talent prodigy!

Only by doing so could he explain why his physical body could improve so rapidly.

As expected, Kong Xin's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Lu Sheng's words.

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

If the military people heard this, who knew if they would tear Lu Sheng's mouth apart.

Although Standing Meditation could improve physical strength, the improvement was very limited.

Those who wanted to achieve higher attainments in their physical bodies would choose to cultivate body-refining techniques rather than Standing Meditation.

It was precisely because there were too many people in the military that they developed Standing Meditation, a method suitable for everyone and capable of strengthening the body.

Thinking of this, Kong Xin fell into contemplation.

Lan Linglong, standing beside him, also showed a surprised expression. Clearly, Lu Sheng's answer surprised even Lan Linglong.

"Is something wrong?"

Lu Sheng scratched his head and asked "honestly."

Lan Linglong gave a wry smile, "This isn't wrong, Junior Disciple Brother, this is clearly..."

The wry smile on Lan Linglong's face deepened.

"This is clearly the work of a prodigy!!"

Lu Sheng chuckled and remained silent.

A moment later, Kong Xin slowly recovered from her silence, looked at Lu Sheng, and gently flipped her palm.

Immediately, 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. The jade slip was extremely ancient, but Lu Sheng could feel a faint, profound fluctuation from it.

Lan Linglong, upon seeing this jade slip, also showed surprise on her small face, looking at Kong Xin with a hint of confusion.

"What is this?"

Lu Sheng asked curiously.

Kong Xin slowly spoke.

"A body-refining technique— Nine Profound Golden Body Transformation!"
