Xiao Hua turned to look at Yuan and spoke, "Brother Yuan, what would you like to do? Even if you keep consuming monster cores to fill your Qi, once you reach the peak of the Spirit Apprentice realm, you will not be able to gain more Qi unless you become a Spirit Warrior."
"Did you forget about my Physique?"
"..."
Xiao Hua stared at Yuan with eyes as wide as two round eggs, her cute and round face filled with shock and disbelief.
"B-B-Brother Yuan... don't tell me you..."
She couldn't believe what he implied!
"Unbelievable..."
Xiao Hua still couldn't believe it. Just what kind of cultivating prodigy is Yuan, breakingthrough without an enlightenment is simply unheard off even in the higher Heavens.
While Xiao Hua was dumbfounded by what she'd heard, Yuan looked at his Qi experience
<3,140,000 7,680,000>
"If I consume 6 more monster cores, it should be more than enough to max out the Qi Experience..." Yuan thought to himself.
Yuan retrieved 6 monster cores and threw them into his mouth all at once
<900,500 Qi has been refined from the Blood Ape's monster core>
<895,415 Qi has been refined from the Vampire Wolf's monster core>
<730,650 Qi has been refined from the Scaled Boar's monster core>
<705,307 Qi has been refined from the Shadow Wolf's monster core>
<883,341 Qi has been refined from the Thornback Boar's monster core>
<969,969 Qi has been refined from the Twig Spider's monster core>
<7,680,000 7,680,000>
<You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough>
<Because your Qi Experience is already full, you will not be able to receive anymore until reach the next realm>
The notifications disappeared for a few seconds before returning.
<You have met the requirements for a breakthrough>
<You have reached First Level Spirit Warrior>
<Your Enhanced Senses has developed into Advanced>
<You have learned Enhanced Strength>
<All stats +2,000>
--
<Advanced Senses>

<Description: Sharply enhances the functions of all available senses permanently. Requires no activation>
--
<Enhanced Strength>
<Rank: N A>
<Description: Greatly enhances your strength and stamina>
Once Yuan has reached the Spirit Warrior realm, he could feel a large amount of profound energy expanding in this body; it made him feel as though his body had increased in size despite having no changes made to his actual body.
Even though Yuan told Xiao Hua she still looked shocked when she saw him breakingthrough without an enlightenment.
Yuan looked at his current stats.

"I wonder how strong am I from og Yuan"
"I might as well eat the rest of the monster since I have no use of them"
Yuan retrieved all of his remaining monster cores and tossed it into his mouth.
However, what happened next dumbfounded him greatly.
<Heaven Refining Physique activated>
<Because you have consumed a monster core that is not suitable for your cultivation base, the overall absorbed Qi will be reduced by 90%>
<880,000 Qi has been refined from the Blood Ape's monster core>
<825,000 Qi has been refined from the Vampire Wolf's monster core>
<705,000 Qi has been refined from the Scaled Boar's monster core< p>
<850,000 Qi has been refined from the Vampire Wolf's monster core>

<667,000 Qi has been refined...>
<546,500 Qi has been refined...>
Qi Experience: 12,803,500/76,800,000
"What!...." to say that Yuan is shocked would be an understatement
"Is something wrong Brother Yuan" Xiao Hua asked worriedly after seeing Yuan dumbfounded face.
"I fully absorbed the Qi from the monster cores" Yuan said still shocked
"How...?" Xiao Hua asked while thinking "Brother Yuan is now a Spirit Warrior, any monster core that is not from a Spirit Warrior beast should no longer be as effective"
"It seems to be the doing of my other Physique" Yuan said excitedly after calming down from his shock.
"What... Brother Yuan has a Dual Physique" Xiao Hua said in shock"
"Yeah I have two Physiques. The first one is the Heaven Refining Physique, and the other one I don't even know the name of I just know that I have it"
Xiao Hua is more shocked that Yuan fully absorbed the Qi from a lower level monster core
"What kind of Physiques Brother Yuan has, The first one allows him to directly consume monster cores and the other allowed him to fully absorb the Qi from lower level monster cores" Xiao Hua can't even find the words to describe the talent of Yuan
Yuan thought about the potential of his mysterious Physique with a smile "Even though the Physique got activated the name still didn't appear, This Physique is quite a mystery, but with it my path in cultivation is easier than ever"

Some time later
"Xiao Hua, can you lead us to the nearest city? We can talk about our plans after we take a break."
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "The nearest city is 10 kilometers away."
"10 kilometers... let's run there."
Having never felt this energetic before, Yuan suggested running there.
"Okay." Xiao Hua easily agreed.
Thus, the two began running towards the nearest city.
