The True Terror of the Martial Saint Body

"Boom!"

The moment the pill entered his stomach, a surge of powerful medicinal force immediately rose within Lin Yi's body.

Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't hesitate. He promptly activated his main cultivation technique, the Sixth-Rank Breathing Technique, the Whale Swallowing Breathing Technique.

"Inhale! Exhale! Inhale! Exhale..."

On the ground, Lin Yi's breathing stretched on and on, like a giant whale drawing in water. Each breath lasted as long as an incense stick's burn, incredibly prolonged.

Under this miraculous breathing technique, the rolling medicinal force from the Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill was rapidly absorbed and refined by Lin Yi, transforming into a surging torrent of energy that boosted his cultivation.

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid Stage (3%)]

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid Stage (4%)]

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid Stage (8%)]

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid Stage (12%)]

Under Lin Yi's refinement, his cultivation on the Attribute Panel climbed at breakneck speed. He cultivated in one go for nearly half an hour.

Finally...

"Buzz!"

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, the cultivation on his Attribute Panel had changed drastically.

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid Stage (28%)]

"28%! That much!"

Seeing this number, Lin Yi's pupils contracted.

One Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill had pushed his cultivation progress from 3% to 28%. That meant this single session had boosted his progress by a full 25%.

Was the Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill's effect just this absurdly strong?

Shock surged in Lin Yi's heart.

But after only a few breaths, he suddenly realized something:

"No! Although the Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill is one of the best pills for Seventh Grade Martial Artists to boost their cultivation, its effects could never be this strong."

"Take Wang Kai, for example. When he went from Seventh Grade Mid Stage to Late Seventh Rank, he consumed over thirty Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pills. Other disciples in the Martial Arts Academy took even more before they finally broke through."

"And judging by my current situation, even though cultivation progress gets harder the further you go, and the human body builds up drug resistance, I should only need at most five Tiger Leopard Qi and Blood Pills to break through to Late Seventh Rank."

"So, it's not that the Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill is strong—it's that my Martial Saint Body is too strong!"

With that thought, Lin Yi's gaze shifted to the four gleaming characters on the Attribute Panel: "Martial Saint Body."

The Martial Saint Body was his most powerful talent, and the only Mystic Purple Grade Talent he possessed—an extreme, terrifying talent that appeared in only one in a hundred billion people!

In the past, Lin Yi had thought it was impressive, but not quite as exaggerated as the Attribute Panel described. But after swallowing the Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill, he finally understood: it wasn't that the "Martial Saint Body" was weak—it was that he himself had been too weak before!

Back then, because he was weak, he could never get his hands on good pills or resources. All he could use were Qi and Blood Pills.

And Qi and Blood Pills were only Ninth Grade pills—the most ordinary even among Ninth Grade pills. The medicinal force they contained was meager, and absorbing them wasn't particularly difficult.

So, the Qi and Blood Pill was like a regular math test with a perfect score of 100. No matter how talented Lin Yi was, he could only score 100 at most. Others, even if less gifted, could still manage a 50.

In that situation, Lin Yi was strong, but at best only twice as strong as an ordinary person. The "Martial Saint Body" couldn't live up to its reputation as a once-in-a-hundred-billion talent.

But the Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill was different. As the most effective among the common Seventh Grade cultivation-boosting pills, the medicinal force and energy it contained were terrifyingly vast.

It was like an extremely difficult Olympiad test, also with a perfect score of 100.

On such a test, ordinary people would usually score 1 or 2 points.

A genius might score 7 or 8 points, which would already be impressive. But Lin Yi could still score 100!

And just like that, the gap between Lin Yi and ordinary people instantly widened from a factor of two to dozens or even hundreds of times.

How terrifying was that?

Thinking this, a smile spread across Lin Yi's face:

"Martial Saint Body! As expected of the Martial Saint Body! With this talent, the biggest problem in breaking through to Late Seventh Rank—the energy requirement—is immediately solved."

"Now, the only remaining question is how long it will take me to fully absorb all five Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pills."

"After all, the human body has a limit on how much medicinal force it can absorb in a day. For example, Wang Kai took nearly half a year to absorb those thirty-plus Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pills."

"On average, he spent about four to five days absorbing one pill. Other Martial Arts Academy disciples took even longer."

"And while my talent far surpasses Wang Kai and those other disciples, five Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pills is still a lot. How long it will take to absorb them all remains unknown."

"I can only hope to finish absorbing them within a single day," Lin Yi thought to himself.

If he could finish in one day, that meant he could break through to Late Seventh Rank before the Entrance Examination.

With Late Seventh Rank cultivation, plus the Bright Moon Saber Art at Sixth Rank Perfection (75%), Lin Yi would have combat power at the Sixth Rank Early Stage in his normal state—not much weaker than Wang Kai.

And if he went all out, he would be extremely strong even among Sixth Rank Late Stage fighters. It might even be possible to one-shot Wang Kai.

That way, securing first place in the Entrance Examination would be much easier.

With these thoughts, Lin Yi closed his eyes again, swallowed another Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pill, activated the Whale Swallowing Breathing Technique, and rapidly absorbed the powerful medicinal force within the pill.

And so, time slipped away swiftly as Lin Yi cultivated. In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.
