The Prodigies War

Chapter 182 Cultivation Phenomenon

Lin Xun was somewhat irritated. The reason why he didn’t want to fight Bai Lingxi was not because he was afraid of her but because the Dipper Transformation Lake was right in front of him. Who would be in the mood to fight?

If Bai Lingxi insisted on fighting, Lin Xun still planned to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lingxi shook her head and said, “A challenge doesn’t necessarily mean we have to fight. You and I can compare when we break through to the Spirit Dipper Stage.”

Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Compare what?”

Pointing to the Dipper Transformation Lake, Bai Lingxi said indifferently, “Compare who can cultivate longer in the lake and see who can form the higher-grade aeth power reservoir when they break through.”

This wasn’t really a challenge. Regardless of whether Bai Lingxi had made such a proposal, Lin Xun would still do his best.

After all, this was a god-given opportunity. Who would hold back at such a time?

After contemplating for a while, Lin Xun agreed.

Bai Lingxi didn’t say anything more. Like an ethereal shadow, her robe fluttered in the air before she swiftly landed on a lotus stone platform.

Lin Xun didn’t waste any more time. He headed straight to the last lotus stone platform on the lake and sat down cross-legged.

The two didn’t try to conceal their conversation and so many students overheard it and couldn’t help feeling a little irritated.

Since Bai Lingxi only challenged Lin Xun, did that mean the other students were inferior to Lin Xun in her eyes?

Many students felt indignant. They also wanted to compete to see who would last the longest in the Dipper Transformation Lake!

……

The stone platforms floated on the lake like real lotus. It was unknown what material they were constructed from but their surface was smooth as jade and had a cold sensation upon touch.contemporary romance

Sitting cross-legged on it, Lin Xun immediately felt a stream of pure Dipper Qi rushing out and digging into his skin like a cold blade. It stung his skin and he felt like his blood had frozen.

Dipper Qi!

After all, it was an extremely special aeth power, but its power was incomparably strong and it had unbelievably mysterious effects.

There were thousand kinds of Dipper Qi in the world such as Yin-Yang Dipper Qi, Fire Fiend Dipper Qi, Ice Spirit Dipper Qi, and Wood Soul Dipper Qi

However, only very few types of Dipper Qi could be used to temper a cultivator’s aeth power.

For example, the Origin Dipper Qi in the Dipper Transformation Lake was a top-class treasure in the world. It wasn’t only extremely pure, but also could flawlessly integrate with a cultivator’s power.

It was extremely rare and was considered a treasure that could only be found with luck.

Rumble—

Feeling the stinging pain all over his skin, Lin Xun didn’t dare to hesitate any more. He held his breath in concentration, cleared his mind, and began to mobilize the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture.

Almost instantly, streams of pure and ice-cold Origin Dipper Qi were swallowed into his body and started to temper his aeth power like blades.

Lin Xun felt like he had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave. His body was being assaulted by bone-chilling icicles. The Origin Dipper Qi seemed pure and crystal-clear, but it had a terrifyingly sharp power. Lin Xun still felt bursts of piercing pain with his current physique and cultivation base.

Lin Xun was finally convinced that what Cao Shiliu said three days ago was true.

Their one-year of training in Blood Kill Camp was to prepare their foundation for entering the Dipper Transformation Lake. It was impossible to withstand or refine the Origin Dipper Qi power without a powerful physique and cultivation base.

Muffled grunts and groans sounded in rapid successions. The students sitting cross-legged on different stone platforms were all shivering and their faces were ashen. They clearly were also suffering from biting coldness just like Lin Xun.

Some people even cried out in agony and paused their cultivation, looking a little distressed.

In comparison, Lin Xun’s performance was already pretty good. At least, he had remained calm and composed and hadn’t halted his cultivation.

However, he clearly was much more cautious than before. While operating the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture with all his strength, he was carefully checking the changes in his body.

As time went by, Lin Xun soon adapted to the attacks of biting coldness and was fully immersed in cultivation.

His back was straight as a spear and his expression was calm as he sat there in a motionless state.

Wisps of white mist swirled around him and added a sacred and ethereal quality to him.

A few days ago, Lin Xun had reached the pinnacle of the True Martial Stage. The aeth power inside and outside his body had been completely transformed. It could be called the perfect aeth transformation.

Therefore, Lin Xun was not worried about breaking through and advancing to the Spirit Dipper Stage since his foundation had long been tempered to an extremely solid and stable state, far exceeding his peers.

Furthermore, with the help of the four aeth power vortexes in his heart meridians as well as the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture, his aeth power had been tempered to the pinnacle level. Its grade was extremely high and its power was extremely strong. It could be described as terrifying.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xun was only uncertain about what sort of grade the aeth power reservoir formed in his sea of qi would be when he broke through to the Spirit Dipper Stage.

Everyone had the same worry. It wasn’t just Lin Xun.

Everyone knew that the aeth power reservoir was the symbol of a Spirit Dipper cultivator and an accumulation of a cultivator’s strength.

The grade of an aeth power reservoir was directly related to the cultivation problems that a cultivator would face in the future!

Furthermore, the grade of the aeth power reservoir was closely related to a cultivator’s strength, combat powers and their cultivation path.

Who wouldn’t be concerned?

The reason that students such as Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu and Ning Meng had suppressed their cultivation level was also to form the most perfect aeth power reservoir when they broke through to the Spirit Dipper Stage.

Cultivation in the Dipper Transformation Lake was a god-given opportunity to shape the grade of a cultivator’s aeth power reservoir. Whether or not a person could form an aeth power reservoir that they would be satisfied with depended on their constitution, aptitude, background, and talent.

……

Time flew like flowing water. Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

The thirty students were meditating on the Dipper Transformation Lake like thousand-year-old statues. Different phenomenons were happening around them.

For example, Bai Lingxi was shrouded in white star-like mist, glowing an ethereal hue. It was as though they were dancing gracefully in the air.

As Li Duxing was breathing in and out, the white mist around him was like arrows and produced roars of wind and thunder.

During cultivation, the white mist around Shi Yu rose in a unique and mysterious rhythm like the tide.

Ning Meng appeared to be extremely domineering. The waves of qi around him resembled smoke signals rushing into the air and produced metallic clangs.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was like a still calm sea. The mist seemed very ordinary and nothing special.

The phenomena differed from person to person. There were different characteristics due to each person’s different cultivation methods. But many details would be noticed upon a closer look.

In the central campground of Blood Kill Camp, a giant light screen reflected each scene in detail.

Xu Sanqi and the other instructors silently watched the light screen, each analyzing the performances of each student in their minds.

Suddenly, Xu Sanqi said, “In the past, someone would break through after cultivating for around three days. Based on that, I speculate that some of this group of students would break through to the Spirit Dipper Stage today.”

The other instructors nodded.

“Based on the phenomenons displayed by each student, I can roughly tell that Bai Lingxi, Li Duxing, Gong Ming, Shi Yu, Meng Xiulin, Ouyang Zhun and Ning Meng would open up a first-grade aeth power reservoir,” an instructor said softly and many instructors nodded in agreement.

“It’s a shame that Zhao Yin has been eliminated. Otherwise, with his Violet Sun Body, he would also be able to open up a first grade aeth power reservoir.” An instructor found it a pity that Zhao Yin had been eliminated.

“Zhao Yin was defeated because of his provocation. He can only blame himself for being too confident. It’s not Lin Xun’s fault,” Xiaoke said indifferently.

“Speaking of Lin Xun, his performance is a bit mediocre. This may be because of his weak foundation. If I remember correctly, he only reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer True Martial Stage a few days ago, right?”

Many instructors were curious about Lin Xun since his previous performances had surprised them again and again.

However, some people couldn’t help but suspect that Lin Xun was indeed inferior to other students in terms of cultivation foundation based on his ordinary performance on the Dipper Transformation Lake.

Xiaoke frowned and didn’t say anything. She was also a little uncertain.

Lin Xun’s cultivation had rapidly improved and his combat strength was indeed very strong. He had proved this time and time again and no one could question it.

However, a cultivator’s foundation wasn’t the same as battle strength. It was strongly linked to a cultivator’s aptitude and constitution, and it was impossible to achieve a strong foundation in a short period of time.

For example, other students had been training since young. Moreover, in order to enter the Dipper Transformation Lake, they had been suppressing their cultivation level for years. It was easy to imagine how strong their foundation would be.

Compared to them, Lin Xun indeed seemed inferior.

“Since you look down on Lin Xun, why don’t we have another bet?” Xiaoman suddenly said aloud as she smiled at everyone.

Everyone was taken aback. They all remembered that they lost to Xiaoman in the quarterly assessment bet and so they all instinctively shook their heads.

However, someone didn’t want to give in and so couldn’t help but say aloud, “Xiaoman, are you that confident in that kid?”

“Of course.”

“Then what kind of aeth power reservoir do you think Lin Xun can form?”

Xiaoman said without hesitation, “It definitely will be the first-grade!”

Everyone was amused by her response. They felt that she was acting on impulse and didn’t take her seriously.

They stopped arguing with Xiaoman since it would be obvious when the result came out.

Xiaoman took in everyone’s expressions and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. She wished that Lin Xun would quickly break through and slap them in the face with it.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Someone has broken through!”
