Yang Fruit

In the end, Shen Lei cashed in his merit points for a thousand, two hundred silver. Which brought his total amount to, forty six thousand and eighty seven silver.

While nothing to the huge sects out there like the Yang family, it was still quite a bit of money for one as young as him with no noble background to have gotten his hands on.

Your typical commoner family would never have to work a day in their lives again with that amount of silver.

Still, despite the amount of money he had, he barely paid it any thought. Instead, as Shen Lei made his way back to his dorm room, his mind was running a mile a minute.

The focus of his thoughts being what old man Meng had just revealed to him. Divine Twin Soul Physique, a legendary body and he had it.

He'd already come to terms with it and was already thinking of all the ways he could abuse his inherent physique to rapidly grow in power.

"Before anything else, I should test out my new strength properly." Shen Lei mused. He could of course challenge his fellow disciples to spars, but he wanted to really cut loose, so they wouldn't be any help, and he doubted any of the people within three realms of him would be able to keep up with him anyway.

That meant, heading to the Black Wind Mountains to hunt monster beasts. Now that he had reached the second realm, he would be allowed to actually head into the mountains proper and not just hang around the outskirts.

The only problem with that though, was the Black Wind Mountains were dangerous and nobody below the second realm was allowed to enter for a reason.

After all, the place was full of monster beasts, and not just just weak ones. There were even species that reached up to the fifth order like the Horned Tiger, which was around the level of a fifth realm cultivator.

Much stronger than his level or not, Shen Lei could not hope to beat one of those in a fight as he was right now.

"Escaping from them is another matter though." he hummed as he arrived at his dorm building. Because of the high hopes the sect elders had for him when he initially displayed his talent, they'd given him his own dorm where as most others needed to share.

But, it was better to be safe than sorry, wasn't it?

So, instead of entering his dorm, he made his way around to the back of the small house sized building where three small trees had been grown personally by him over the past year.

Yang fruit trees. Otherwise known as Sun Fruit Tree's.

Between the three trees, a total of sixteen fruit hung. Quite a substantial amount all said and told, and each one was packing a hefty amount of yang qi within them due to having been grown for a full year in a place he specifically picked because of the mass amount of sun light that shone down on the area over the days that passed by, and the spirit array he set up to absorb world energy and transform it into yang qi and pass into the trees.

You'd think by the name the fruit from the trees would be quite appealing to look at, possible yellow or even golden in colour. But actually, they weren't very appealing to look at, at all. They looked like large brown pellets after all.

"If I eat these now my strength should rise quite a bit." Shen Lei mused. And, that was only taking eating them normally into account.

Now that he knew of his Divine Twin Soul physique, would the gains he would get not be doubled as well?

Almost giddy at the prospect, Shen Lei practically skipped over to the trees and one by one plucked the fruit then made his way into his dorm. And give it another year and another batch of fruit would probably grow as well.

Once inside his dorm, Shen Lei added his newest silvers to the chest where he kept all his money, set the small book containing the instructions for the Heavenly Blade on his desk and made his way over to his bed and sat cross legged down upon it.

"Here we go!" Shen Lei psyched himself up and quickly, one by one swallowed the sixteen sun tree yang fruit he'd grown over the past year.

Almost as soon as he did, a massive golden fiery aura erupted out of his body, his dantian's flooding with massive waves of yang qi released from the ingested fruit.

And then just as sudden, the wave of yang qi roaring through him surged and doubled in size and the aura around him swelled up monstrously, lighting up his entire room in a blinding golden haze.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Lei grasped tightly onto the yang qi within him with his own innate qi and bit by bit forced it to submerge into his own internal power.

And then his power began to rapidly incline as the yang qi was cultivated into his own.

In seconds, he reached the third grade of the second realm. But that was not all, moments later he blasted straight through to the next grade above and still his power continued to grow.

And the more he forced the yang qi into submission with his own qi, the easier he found it to control and manipulate his innate yuan qi.

When he was finally done Shen Lei stood up from his bed, the golden aura practically vibrating over his form.

"...Fifth Grade Initial Element..." he whispered in awe as he inspected himself. This was completely unreal. If he had the ingredients needed to refine the yang fruit into yang essence pills and enhance their effects, he could have probably broken through to the sixth, or even the seventh grade!

And once again the sheer amount of qi he felt within himself now. It was barely even comparable to what he had a half an hour ago.

By his estimates, the total amount of yang qi he had, had grown by at least eight times over, if not more!

"Hahahaha!" Shen Lei laughed, his voice echoing through the building. This was true power!

He could easily overpower a standard third realm like this could he not? God he felt fucking amazing!

He wanted to get out to the Black Wind Mountains right fucking now and go fight! Perhaps he wouldn't need to flee from a Horned Tiger if one showed up after all!

He grinned at the thought of killing one of those giant beasts! Ah, the amount of money he could make refining one of those into an artefact even at his level would be amazing, and he could buy much more materials!

Shen Lei examined the blazing golden aura around himself and with a thought, he compressed it down into his right hand, the sheer amount of yang qi lighting up fist casting a shining golden glow around it and completely hiding his fists skin tone.

At the second realm, it was impossible to expel qi completely outside the body, but the body could be clad in it. And the sheer heat he felt coming from his fist right now could probably melt through a tree and the amount of yang qi would definitely enhance the strength of his punch massively as well if he hit someone with this fist.

"Heh, this is practically a martial skill in of itself." the teenager grinned happily. All it needed right now was a cool name, like Solar Fist or something.

God he wanted to rush off to the mountains right now. But, as much as he wanted to, and as confident as he felt, there was one thing he still needed to take care of first before he left.

His eyes went to his desk where the instruction manual for the Heavenly Blade sat. First, he'd comprehend how to use it, before gathering what he needed for his trip to the Black Wind Mountains and then he could run wild all he wanted.
