Chapter no.170 Refinement of the Soul Shards

[ Draconic Ruins Realm - Divine Feather Sect]

[ Divine Feather Sect - Venerable Redsoul's Courtyard ]

A few days had passed quickly as the Divine Feather Sect launched an investigation to find out anything that could explain what occurred that night in the mysterious dome.

Inside Venerable Redsoul's courtyard, the majority of students were already seated and waiting for Venerable Redsoul to arrive.

Lin Lingtian and Gu Bei walked into the training room and sat in their seats.

When the students saw Lin Lingtian and Gu Bei enter, the quiet training room instantly burst into a commotion.

"Are you aware? That guy called Lin Lingtian crushed Long Yuyin beneath his feet on the Saint Soul Board!"

"Shh, lower your voice. Aren't you afraid that Long Yuyin will hear us?"

"I heard that Long Yuyin even got a beating from Lin Lingtian. She was so proud, so now that she was beaten so badly, the shame is probably even harder for her to bear than death!"

Lin Lingtian glanced at the commenter.

' Is this guy, dumb or something?'

Before ignoring everything around him as he closed his eyes.

He was actively trying to absorb the soul shards of Lu Qiye and Bu Qiye but it was proving to be a much stronger task than what he previously expected.

As of this moment, nearly every student directed their attention toward Lin Lingtian and Gu Bei

Long Yuyin quietly sat there, wearing a tight-fitting outfit. She was the most beautiful girl in the class due to her impressive figure and flawless looks. The only flaw was that, at this point, she bore a rather ugly expression as she tightly clenched both fists on her knees.

How could she not hear the students' discussions?

But on the Saint Soul Board, she'd indeed lost. However, the fact was that she was still very prideful in her heart.

Long Yuyin looked at Lin Lingtian as her eyes flashed with a fighting spirit. 'It's only the Saint Soul Board, it can't prove that your talent is stronger than mine. I will thoroughly beat you in other ways!' She definitely wouldn't allow herself to lose to anyone else that's the same age as herself.

She'd been brought up by her mother. And throughout childhood, her mother had always told her that a woman must depend on herself. She must be a true expert and crush all men beneath her feet.

Ever since she was young, she'd displayed a powerful talent. Right now, she was already the seventh in line to succeed the Dragonseal Family. This was her glory; however, it was still far from enough. She wanted to become the most powerful!

Now, on the Saint Soul Board, Lin Lingtian had crushed her mercilessly, which nearly made her go insane. However, she definitely won't admit defeat!

Gu Bei whispered to his master," Master, I wasn't able to tell you this before you're the only one who's earned my admiration!"

Lin Lingtian glanced at Gu Bei before saying," You are cleaning the clothes today."

Gu Bei flinched at that as sweat dripped down his face as he remembered how Lin Lingtian had him clean the clothes.

" Come on master, can you cut me some slack? "

" You're also cleaning the dishes ."

" .... "

Gu Bei flinched but choose to shut up as he didn't want to end up with more choices that his master would use to tort...train him.

Some distance away stood Han Jing, Wan Yang, and their groups, who were watching Lin Lingtian and Gu Bei with deep jealousy. However, none of them dared to casually offend Lin Lingtian Their talents were simply not on the same level. Lin Lingtian's talent already made them feel deep fear; asking for trouble from him was the same as asking for their deaths!

Venerable Redsoul walked into the courtyard and swept an eye over his students.

When his eyes landed on Lin Lingtian he paused for a brief moment before smiling. "I already know that some of you have already entered the training grounds. Some students achieved pretty good ranks and showed talent surpassing my expectations. Excellent! Everyone else must work hard as well. Because of the East District's maximum quota of five, if you cannot obtain a position this year, you'll have to wait until next year. Next year, there'll be even more students joining us from the South and North Districts. Who knows? This might be your last chance!"

Han Jing, Wang Yang, and the rest all clenched their fists. There were only five spaces and the difficulty of this competition was way too high. Even still, Venerable Redsoul's words felt threatening to them. If they were unable to reach the East District this year, did that mean that they'd lose that chance forever? Their hearts were filled with agitation. They were all geniuses who possessed Heavenly Spiritual Roots; how could they lower their heads and allow others to step over them?

" During the lesson three days ago, we tried to ignite Spiritual Flames. I wonder if you all practiced it when you went home? If you've managed to ignite the Spiritual Flames, please report your name to me. Igniting the Spiritual Flames is one of the cards you can use to enter the East District. In today's lesson, we'll talk about how to refine the physical body. A powerful cultivator should first possess a powerful physical body; only then, can the body contain a powerful soul! However, strengthening the physical body isn't a simple matter!" Venerable Redsoul continued, "Now, I'll teach you guys how to strengthen your physical bodies!"

Upon finishing his words, Venerable Redsoul retrieved several armguards from his interspatial ring. "This is the Profound Weight Armguards; like its name, it's filled with profound weight. The armguards are divided into five types: 250kg, 500kg, 750kg, 1000kg, and 1250kg. Each of you will choose a pair and wear it!"

Venerable Redsoul brought out a pile of armguards, placed them in front of him, and said, "You are not allowed to exert Heavenly Energy. You may only rely on your physical strength. Naturally, you should choose a pair of weights that are around eighty percent of your limit. Now then, come and take a pair!"

As soon as Venerable Redsoul finished speaking, several students walked forward and picked up some of the 500kg Profound Weight Armguards. Instantly, their faces turned red and they immediately switched stances to better support the armguard with both hands. One armguard weighed 500kg; a pair would weigh 1000kg. These students were completely unable to support such weight; therefore, they were forced to stick with the 250kg Profound Weight Armguards.

Only now, after being restricted from using Heavenly Energy, did they realize how weak their physiques were.

At first, the students who walked up were unwilling to take the lightest armguards; however, most of them quickly realized that their physical strength was too weak. Only after that did they pick up the lightest. Only a small number of people were able to wield the 500kg Profound Weight Armguards.

As Long Yuyin walked up to the pile, almost everyone was focusing their attention on her. Everyone knew that she possessed the Blood Dragon lineage, and therefore had a powerful physique. However, none of them knew just how strong she was.

She'd usually used the Profound Weight Armguards before, so she easily found a suitable pair for herself. Furthermore, even though she was wearing the 750kg armguards, one could still say that she was reserving a portion of her strength. Back when she cultivated with her family's resources, she trained with the 1000kg armguards.

The strength of her physical body was her pride.

Jin Yan walked up and chose the 500kg armguards. He gave a depressing glance at Long Yuyin. He was already straining to wear the 500kg armguards, forget about the 750kg ones. He'd always been a hair behind Long Yuyin.

Gu Bei picked up the 500kg armguards and wore them effortlessly. He chose to keep them on instead of exchanging them for a heavier set.

Lin Lingtian just stared at the armguards before he effortlessly wore the 750kg armguards.

Lin Lingtian didn't even feel it since he could physically lift the core of a neutron star which was infinite time heavier than what he was currently wearing.

"After you train without your Heavenly Energy, you guys will know how weak your body is!" Venerable Redsoul slowly circled them as he smiled, "You guys may train in this cultivation room, while I guide you in refining your physical bodies!"

The students began a training menu that included vertical skims, somersaults, and various others. Although the actions themselves were all very simple, the tasks had greatly increased in difficulty, since they were restricted from using their Heavenly Energy and were forced to depend on their physical strength. No one had it easy. In just a few minutes, they were all sweating all over.

Venerable Redsoul said as he walked around, "When cultivating the body, breathing is the most important. Inhale with force and then slowly exhale. Toughening the physical body is also a technique for communicating with Heavenly Energy. Thus, when your physical body is again nourished by Heavenly Energy, it will become stronger!"

Meanwhile hearing this Lin Lingtian just fell asleep while doing a couple of handstand push-ups. He decided to use his time for something much more important than playing around with some kids who think they are hot shit just because someone told them they are geniuses

Lin Lingtian let his body run on instincts while he chose to begin the refinement process of the two soul shards.

Once refined his minute knowledge of the Draconic Ruins Realm would increase.
