At this very moment, a line of information appeared before Rhine's eyes.
Achieve Vajra Indestructible Body. A unique ability of one whose Physical Body Attains Sainthood; within the Three Realms and Six Paths, calamities cannot touch them, nor can they fall into reincarnation.
Though your cultivation is shallow, possessing this talent is still a tremendous fortune.
First trait of this talent—Body Like Vajra, Immortal Physique. It can resist Spiritual Fire and Spiritual Weapons, fears no External Evils, and extends one's lifespan by a thousand years.
Second trait of this talent—Clear Spiritual Platform, Unfading and Uncorrupted, untouched by calamity. It can resist many Demonic Soul-Capturing Methods, preventing Inner Demons from arising.
Third trait of this talent—resist Calamity Killing Power. Those who truly attain Physical Body Attains Sainthood can transcend the Three Realms and live free of disaster and tribulation from then on. Though your cultivation is shallow, you can still ward off one deadly tribulation every three years.
Even with Rhine's composure, bolstered by the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, he stood stunned for a long while upon seeing this talent.
Once Rhine came back to his senses, he could not help clenching his fist and swinging it hard, venting the excitement in his heart.
This was an absolute steal. He'd hit the jackpot!
So-called Physical Body Attains Sainthood meant cultivating one's own fleshly body until it underwent a complete transformation and became Ranked Among the Immortals, all without Entering the Investiture of the Gods List.
Throughout the Primordial Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, only seven people ultimately cultivated their bodies to sainthood!
Though still insignificant compared to Saints, the fact that it carried the word "saint" already showed how extraordinary it was.
At this moment, Rhine too felt just how formidable this talent was.
Even though he had lost Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, Innate Divine Strength, and Lotus Body Protection, Rhine felt both his body and mind undergoing a radical transformation.
A surging, torrential heat churned through his flesh, blood, sinews, and bones.
The strength of his body had already surpassed what it had been when he possessed Innate Divine Strength, and it was still rising rapidly.
His mind was also growing at a breakneck pace, becoming incomparably lucid.
Those whose Physical Body Attains Sainthood were untouched by calamity, and their souls did not fall into reincarnation.
This mental defense was even stronger than when he had Lotus Body Protection!
When the transformation finally ended, Rhine abruptly opened his eyes. A divine gleam flashed through them, and the nighttime corridor lit up for an instant.
He held out his hand and saw golden light flowing across his skin.
It resembled the glow of Bronze Skin and Iron Bones from before, but it was far denser and seemed to exist on a much higher level.
Just looking at that streak of golden radiance gave Rhine a sense of being indestructible and eternal, as though nothing in this world could affect him.
When he had Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, Rhine had been impervious to blades and spears, unharmed by water and fire, and could directly withstand ordinary attack spells in the world of Harry Potter.
Yet if he encountered powerful alchemical items or potent Dark Magic, he could still be injured.
As for the Killing Curse and the Thousand-Year Basilisk's eyes, even with Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, his chances of survival would have been minuscule if he was hit.
But now, after gaining Achieve Vajra Indestructible Body, Rhine's defense had risen by an entire dimension.
Body Like Vajra—calamities could not touch him!
Eagerness flickered in his eyes.
"Engorgio Ignis."
A ball of flame gathered before him, condensing into a blazing white fireball under the Control Fire at Will talent.
Previously, even with Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, Rhine had felt threatened by such a condensed Incendio and would have been harmed by it.
But now...
Rhine waved his wand, and the fireball flew directly toward him.
Yet in the next second, a streak of golden light flowed around his body. He was like vajra, eternal and indestructible.
Even an Incendio of this level failed to harm Rhine in the slightest!
Joy appeared on Rhine's face.
"With this kind of defense, I could probably resist Dark Magic like Sectumsempra and Fiendfyre."
Yet what delighted Rhine most was still this talent's trait that allowed him to resist one deadly tribulation every three years.
After all, the most absurd thing in the world of Harry Potter was the Killing Curse.
Such an instant-death spell was practically everywhere. Every Death Eater could toss out a flash of green light—it was downright unreasonable.
No matter how resistant Rhine had been to ordinary spells before, when faced with a curse that had an instant-death effect, he had never dared guarantee that he could truly withstand it.
But now, the Achieve Vajra Indestructible Body talent could solidly block one deadly tribulation every three years!
Golden light flowed over his body, and Rhine immediately felt his safety rise to another level.
"Even if I stare directly into the Thousand-Year Basilisk's eyes or get hit head-on by the Killing Curse, I won't die."
"My ability to preserve my life has absolutely skyrocketed."
"It can even extend my life by a thousand years. Good grief—if Voldemort found out, he'd probably toss all those Horcruxes of his away like junk!"
After his excitement subsided, however, Rhine took a deep breath and calmed himself from the joy of obtaining such a powerful talent.
"Steady. I still need to stay steady. I can't get careless."
"I can only block one deadly tribulation every three years. What if several deadly tribulations come in quick succession and I get hit by multiple Killing Curses? I could still die."
"I can't become reckless just because of this talent. Before I gain truly overwhelming strength, I still need to keep a low profile, treat people well, make more friends, and have fewer enemies."
At this point, Rhine's system rewards panel looked much cleaner than before, when it had been bloated and cluttered.
Four primary talents: Achieve Vajra Indestructible Body, Control Wind and Thunder, Control Fire at Will, Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart.
Several support-type talents: night vision, Conceal Qi and Hide Mechanism, Feast on Wind and Drink Dew, Exceptional Chess Path.
And two methods: Five-Colored Stone Cultivation Method, Flying Tiger Military Strategy.
Aside from that, there was a new line of information that had appeared after his earlier talent fusion: Dao Charm.
Looking at the sliver of Dao Charm he possessed, Rhine considered it for a moment.
"Can I use Dao Charm to further strengthen Achieve Vajra Indestructible Body?"
With a thought, the system gave him feedback.
"At least one hundred strands of Dao Charm are required for this talent to undergo a visible change. Your current Dao Charm is insufficient."
Rhine tried the other primary talents as well and found that all of them were of relatively high rank.
Even Control Fire at Will, which was comparatively lower-tier, required at least ten strands of Dao Charm to improve.
He shook his head.
"There's too little Dao Charm. It seems I can only improve a support-type talent for now."
A moment later, Rhine had nothing to hesitate over. He directly used that strand of Dao Charm on the Feast on Wind and Drink Dew talent.
This talent was currently his most important means of obtaining spiritual energy, so using Dao Charm on it was definitely worthwhile.
As his Dao Charm dropped to zero, additional information appeared in the description of the Feast on Wind and Drink Dew talent.
You have gained considerable insight into Feast on Wind and Drink Dew, increasing the amount of spiritual energy obtained from wind and dew. There is a slight chance of gathering Exotic Spiritual Energy falling from Above the Nine Heavens.
Rhine nodded in satisfaction.
When he found a chance to fly near Hogwarts, he would have to see just how much stronger Feast on Wind and Drink Dew had become.
He also wondered what effects the Exotic Spiritual Energy falling from Above the Nine Heavens would have.
As for now, he had been out long enough. It was time to return to the dormitory.
But just as Rhine turned to leave, an excited cat's cry sounded from the end of the corridor.
