Marrow Cleansing Ninth Level! What Are You Going to Fight Me With—Your Head?

Meanwhile, at the Lin Family Manor.

Having driven away that green tea Li Xuan'er, Lin Yuan felt utterly refreshed.

He lounged lazily on a beach chair beside the enormous swimming pool in his family's back courtyard.

A sunshade hung overhead, an ice-cold fruit juice rested at hand, and he blissfully soaked up the afternoon sunlight.

This was what life was all about!

In his previous life, he had been mentally beaten down by his boss every day for that measly salary. Now, with heaven vast and earth broad, lying flat was all that mattered.

[ Ding! Detected that the host has successfully lain flat for half an hour. The Primal Chaos Saint Body has automatically activated. Spiritual energy absorption efficiency +10%! ]

The system's prompt rang out in his mind.

Lin Yuan immediately felt an incomparably pure surge of heaven and earth spiritual energy crazily flooding into his body from all directions at a terrifying speed.

The Lin Family Manor itself had been built atop a massive Spirit Vein and was equipped with a top-tier Spirit Gathering Formation. The spiritual energy concentration here was already dozens of times greater than outside.

And now, Lin Yuan, possessing the Primal Chaos Saint Body, was like a Humanoid Black Hole, greedily devouring it all.

Once this spiritual energy entered his body, the Primal Chaos Saint Body instantly refined it without the slightest hindrance.

It directly transformed into the Most Pure cultivation, washing through his Limbs and Bones and eight extraordinary meridians.

He could clearly "see" the bones within his body taking on a faint Jade Color glow, while his marrow flowed like Golden Mercury, sparkling with dazzling radiance.

Every part of his body was being strengthened and remade.

Just Then, the spiritual power within him accumulated to a critical point!

Boom!

It was as though an Invisible Barrier had shattered. An aura far more powerful than before rose from within him!

He had broken through!

In this world, the Martial Arts Realm was divided into: Body Tempering Realm, Marrow Cleansing Realm, Qi Sea Realm, Meridian Opening Realm, Spiritual Manifestation Realm, Spirit Gathering Realm, Embryo Transformation Realm, Void Riding Realm, and Sky Stepping Realm.

Each major realm was further divided into levels one through nine.

The original owner of this body had already been a genius at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level.

And now, empowered by the Primal Chaos Saint Body, Lin Yuan had directly shattered the bottleneck and entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm Seventh Level!

However, this was merely the beginning!

That massive torrent of energy showed no sign of stopping, continuing to surge and roar through his body!

Boom!

Another muffled blast—Marrow Cleansing Realm Eighth Level!

Boom!!

Marrow Cleansing Realm Ninth Level!

Only when his cultivation steadily settled at the peak of Marrow Cleansing Realm ninth level, just one step away from opening his Qi Sea and entering the next major realm, did the momentum of his breakthrough slowly subside.

"Holy crap..."

Feeling the surging power within him, so abundant it seemed ready to overflow, Lin Yuan could not help blurting out a curse.

"I'm already... at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Ninth Level?"

How long had it even been?

It had only been around an hour since he bound the system, right?

He had merely lain here and drunk a cup of juice, yet he had risen three levels in a row, soaring from the Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level to the peak of the ninth?

This Primal Chaos Saint Body was way too overbearing!

Lin Yuan could not help comparing his strength to those students at the academy.

Dragon Summer Country Capital Martial Arts Academy gathered the nation's most outstanding geniuses.

Yet even so, most new students were still in the Body Tempering Realm, tempering their sinews and bones.

Those who could enter the Marrow Cleansing Realm were already excellent students, mostly at the first or second level.

Those who reached the third or fourth level could be called geniuses and became key targets for the academy's cultivation.

Someone like the original owner, who could reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level at eighteen, was as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Unicorn Horns!

And now, he was at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm Ninth Level!

The gap was simply a crushing, fault-line divide!

Someone at this level was among the best even nationwide!

Lin Yuan could not help thinking of that Destined Protagonist, Ye Xuan.

According to his memories of the Original Work, Ye Xuan should still be at the Marrow Cleansing Realm First Level.

Though Ye Xuan was extraordinarily gifted and carried Great Fortune, able to fight above his level and hailed by all as a prodigy.

But no matter how far above your level you could fight, could you really cross eight minor levels?

What were you going to use to fight me—your head?

A teasing smile curled across Lin Yuan's lips.

He remembered clearly.

In the Original Work, during the All-School Competition one month later, Ye Xuan had risen to prominence by stepping on the then-Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level "Lin Yuan."

In that battle, Ye Xuan defeated the strong as the weak and shone brilliantly.

Meanwhile, the original owner had become a laughingstock, a Stepping Stone highlighting the protagonist's brilliance, and never recovered from that point on.

"Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan..."

Lin Yuan murmured, "In this All-School Competition, you still want to step on me to rise? I wonder just how wonderful your expression will be then?"

He did not even need to deliberately do anything or target anyone.

He only needed to lie down in peace, and his strength would soar like a rocket.

This feeling was simply too damn good!

This kind of crushing dominance—unconsciously leaving the so-called Child of Destiny far behind until he could not even see his own back—was the highest form of showing off!

"Young Master, would you like another glass of ice-cold spirit fruit juice?"

A beautiful maid in a maid uniform silently approached and asked respectfully.

She was tall, and Black Silk outlined her long legs in tight, shapely lines, lending a unique charm to every step she took.

"Mm, bring some dim sum too."

Lin Yuan lazily waved a hand, too indolent even to open his eyes.

Before long, fresh juice and exquisite dim sum were brought over.

Lin Yuan contentedly took a sip of juice, feeling that this was the life he had dreamed of.

As for what Ye Xuan and Li Xuan'er were feeling right now, he did not care in the slightest.

The Child of Destiny was still worrying over a tiny bit of cultivation resources.

And he had already begun enjoying life.

Just Then, the system's prompt rang out once more.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully lain flat for one day and achieved the "Lying Flat First Experience" achievement. Reward: Heaven Grade Top Quality Cultivation Method—Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Scripture! ]

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.

Another reward?

And it was even a God Grade Cultivation Method like this?

He immediately chose to receive it, and an enormous stream of information flooded into his mind.

Before Lin Yuan could recover from the thrill of rising three levels in a row, the system's prompt made his spirits surge again.

A Heaven Grade Top Quality Cultivation Method?

Without the slightest hesitation, he silently said, "Receive!"

Cultivation methods in this world were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

Among them, Yellow Grade was the lowest, while Heaven Grade was the highest.

Each grade was further divided into four ranks: lower, middle, upper, and top quality.

A Heaven Grade Top Quality Cultivation Method was a method of the strongest rank, something only humanity's strongest had the fortune to cultivate!

And he had actually obtained one directly?

That was incredible!

Rumble!

It was as though the first thunderclap had sounded above the Nine Heavens. An incomparably vast, profound, and domineering stream of information instantly surged into the Depth of the Soul.

Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Scripture!

This was a Supreme Dharma created by the ancient Thunder Emperor!

Once cultivated to great mastery, one could transform into Thunder, command the punishments of heaven and earth, have Words Follow Law, and with A Thought summon Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to pass Judgment upon all things!

Countless golden Ancient Text swirled and imprinted themselves within his Consciousness Sea, every single character containing the Will of Thunder.

At the same time, the spiritual power within his body began circulating on its own according to the unique method of the Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Scripture.

Threads of Light Purple Thunder Power arose from nothingness, surging through his broad, resilient Meridians with faint crackling sounds.

His physical body, already nearly perfected by the Primal Chaos Saint Body, was further tempered by this Thunder Power, becoming even more indestructible!
