The First Lesson of the Transformation Class—They Picked My Strong Suit

Thousand Jun Heavy Ground.

At the foot of the mountain.

Countless disciples watched the vibrant young girl stand on tiptoe and wave. Her round almond eyes held a honey-sweet smile, revealing a pair of pear-shaped dimples. They felt their hearts take a direct hit.

Who could withstand that? Who the hell could withstand that?!

Delicate features, a sweet temperament, adorable dimples, heaven-defying talent, and an astonishing background... among the second generation of immortals, Li Xi was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence.

Even in the Transformation Class, she was a little celestial maiden.

And now...

This dazzling little celestial maiden was actively waving at a boy.

Who was Jiang Li?

Which bastard was Jiang Li?

He deserved to die.

For a moment.

All the disciples' gazes converged in that direction.

A young man in black robes approached them. He had sword-like brows and starry eyes, his face stern and unsmiling, a faint air of authority filling his features, like a superior inspecting his territory.

Damn.

He was pretty handsome.

That made quite a few people who had wanted to put Jiang Li down lower their heads.

Being handsome could not put food on the table, but being handsome and possessing top-tier talent was another matter altogether.

If they wanted to prove Jiang Li was inferior to them, they would have to open up a new track.

As for Jiang Li, it was not that he was stern and unsmiling. He was just a little dead inside.

He had guarded against everything, yet in the end, he still could not guard against this energetic girl.

He had not expected her to greet him like this, either.

How the hell was he supposed to keep a low profile now?

He could clearly sense at least sixteen pairs of eyes staring at him.

And there were currently only sixteen people standing here.

He had become the center of attention.

Forget it, forget it.

He had to learn to make peace with himself.

He could keep a low profile tomorrow.

At that thought.

Jiang Li immediately felt that the heavens and earth had broadened.

Without the slightest stage fright, he walked over and greeted Murong Qing and Li Xi.

Murong Qing gave a slight nod.

Li Xi, however, shouted, "You were way too hard to find! You've been back for so many days without sending any word. My grandmother even wanted me to invite you to Dan Peak for a stroll."

Jiang Li recalled the kindly old woman he had met in the sect hall and secretly thought, Was she trying to invest in him, a future Holy Son Candidate?

"Next time for sure."

Jiang Li did not refuse.

Dan Peak was an alchemist's paradise. Nearly sixty percent of Heavenly Mystery Holy Land's medicinal pills came from there, and he would need to collect some of his future cultivation resources from Dan Peak as well.

"Then it's settled. When the time comes, let me play the host."

Li Xi said with a grin.

At the side.

Murong Qing watched their exchange and tilted her head slightly. Since when had these two become so familiar?

Though she was puzzled, she did not ask.

Afterward.

Shen Lin and several other teammates who had participated in the campaign with him also came over one by one to greet him.

That made Jiang Li even more famous.

As for that.

Jiang Li figured that when lice became too numerous, one no longer felt the itch.

Since he could not lie low today anyway, he might as well go with the flow. There were not many disciples in the Transformation Class, so even if someone had a big mouth, the news would not spread everywhere.

Not long after.

The instructor emerged from within the mountain.

He was built like a small mountain, every inch of his body knotted with muscle. Each step made the ground tremble, carrying astonishing might with it.

The instructor was named Wang Bo, a Nascent Soul Realm Body Cultivator renowned for his physical body. He once had a record of killing a True Dragon hatchling head-on.

"There are newcomers among you, so I'll go over my course requirements once more."

As he spoke, Wang Bo glanced at Jiang Li.

Every instructor was interested in this case of someone whose cultivation had not met the standard and who had successfully entered the Transformation Class without going through the selection of their resident instructors.

However, the other party was not a Body Cultivator, so Wang Bo would not see any brilliance from him in his class.

"What I teach is a Body Refinement Method, mainly to strengthen your bodies and improve your resistance to blows. Don't think this is a waste of time. If you were ordinary disciples, body refinement would indeed be superfluous for you. But you are Spirit Transformation seeds selected by Heavenly Mystery Holy Land. If you want to reach that step, you must make every step perfect. The physical body is one of the most crucial aspects."

"That's enough explanation. Next, we'll move straight into practical training. Follow me."

"Thousand Jun Heavy Ground is a special training ground affected by Yuan Magnetic Force. It can temper the physique, refine Mana, and improve the quality of Mana. In the past, it was exclusively available to the top ten disciples of the Inner Sect Grand Competition. You are Spirit Transformation seeds, so you may use it for free during my class. Outside of class, if you want to use it, you must pay one thousand contribution points for a single day of cultivation. So cherish this opportunity."

Wang Bo glanced at Jiang Li again.

Jiang Li was first stunned, then his eyes lit up.

This Thousand Jun Heavy Ground could refine Mana?

That was perfect.

The quality of his Mana was already infinitely close to the fourth-grade brilliant gold level. If he could use this opportunity to break through the bottleneck, his strength would receive another considerable boost.

Sure enough.

Heavenly Mystery Holy Land was filled with treasures everywhere.

It was just that ordinary disciples could not come into contact with them most of the time.

If he had not joined the Transformation Class, he would have had no chance to use either the Earth Vein Primordial Qi Chamber or Thousand Jun Heavy Ground.

"We're here."

Very soon.

Wang Bo stopped.

"Up ahead is where Yuan Magnetic Force begins to have an effect. You've already been here twice and have adapted to the alterations Yuan Magnetic Force brings to your bodies. My requirement for you is simple: persist for thirty minutes and carry half a Magnet Mountain. Those at the Foundation Establishment Realm and above must raise the standard to one Magnet Mountain."

After saying that.

Wang Bo looked at Jiang Li again.

"You're new, so my requirements for you won't be so harsh. Have you cultivated a Body Refinement Method?"

Jiang Li nodded.

"I've dabbled in it."

"Then that's even better. After you enter, circulate your Body Refinement Method and use your physical body to resist the pressure brought by the magnetic light. The longer you persist, the better the tempering effect. Aside from the benefits I just mentioned, Yuan Magnetic Force can also accelerate the progress of Body Refinement Methods. Cultivating here is three times as effective as usual."

Jiang Li nodded.

He was already impatient to begin.

At that moment.

He noticed that the instructor had walked over to Fang Shi and issued him a harsh requirement.

"You may only be at Half-Step Foundation Establishment, but you are a dedicated Body Cultivator. If you can't carry one and a half Magnet Mountains, I'll lose all reputation in the education world. Don't call me Master anymore."

Jiang Li's expression shifted.

It seemed that, like him, Fang Shi also had a master who served concurrently as an instructor in the Transformation Class.

Just as he was thinking about it.

Li Xi pulled Murong Qing over, clenched her fist, and noisily said, "Jiang Li, do your best! The first time I underwent Yuan Magnetic Force tempering, I lasted less than three minutes before leaving. It hurt so much that I could barely eat properly for days. And that elixir tasted awful, but the improvement really was huge. Now I can send one of those whimpering monsters flying with a single punch."

As she spoke.

Li Xi threw a mock punch at Murong Qing.

As if to say that one punch from her could send Murong Qing flying.

Murong Qing rolled her eyes at the energetic girl, then thought for a moment before adding, "The first time you undergo Yuan Magnetic Force tempering, you must grit your teeth and endure it, because the first tempering has the best effect. You can stop once it feels like your body is about to collapse. As for the Spirit Extraction Elixir, it repairs bodily damage. Yuan Magnetic Force is incomparably overbearing. If you do not use Spirit Extraction Elixir alongside it, hidden injuries will remain."

For the naturally aloof girl to say so much at once was an utterly inconceivable sight in the eyes of others.

Who knew how many disciples beat their chests and stamped their feet over it.

Some were even already looking forward to Jiang Li making a fool of himself and setting a new record for the shortest time before leaving.

Jiang Li smiled helplessly.

Was this energetic girl trying to comfort him in advance?

Because she feared that directly comforting him would hurt his pride, she had used her own experience as a reference instead.

What a little warm treasure.

"I understand."

With that.

Jiang Li stepped inside.

At once.

An invisible pressure crushed down on him.

The intangible, formless Yuan Magnetic Force seeped into his body and transformed into an invisible massive hammer that pounded against his bones. With every strike, his bones gave off a deep hum.

His body was also gripped by an invisible giant hand. His muscle fibers were forced to adapt to the pressure, and even his blood began to flow more slowly.

"What formidable Yuan Magnetic Force. Without cultivating a Body Refinement Method, one truly couldn't withstand this level of tempering. In just a few minutes, every bone in one's body would be crushed."

Jiang Li thought to himself.

He circulated his Body Refinement Method.

The next second.

Mountain-and-river patterns appeared across his skin. His breathing became steady, and his heart thundered like a war drum.

The invisible crushing force he had felt vanished completely at that moment.

The Yuan Magnetic Force capable of crushing bones now felt about as strong as a massage.

That was it?

Jiang Li tilted his head.

It seemed he had still underestimated this system-produced Body Refinement Method.

As though it had heard Jiang Li's praise, the Body Refinement Method, "Emperor's World-Shocking Art," made its presence known once more.

Ding. The cultivation method "Emperor's World-Shocking Art" was proud. An emperor is a sovereign; world-shocking means first in the present age. Emperor's World-Shocking means becoming the number one emperor beneath the heavens.

The cultivation method "Emperor's World-Shocking Art" wants to seize first place. Enable automated cultivation?
