CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 308: IS LU LIN SUN XIAORUI’S FATED ONE?

Inside Lu Lin’s body, it felt as if a ball of fire was burning.

The terrifying medicinal power of the Star Power Pill was being unleashed.

"This is too much."

Lu Lin muttered to himself, quickly activating the Inner View Star Skill to begin directing and operating the medicinal power of the Star Power Pill.

Within the Human Federation.

Reaching the Seventh Level Golden Body signifies that a martial artist has reached a relatively high stage in their cultivation.

At this stage, martial artists no longer need to obsess over accumulating Star Power like in the First to Third Levels, nor do they need to focus on restructuring their bodies to better adapt to the Star Power-rich Exotic Battlefield as in the Fourth to Sixth Levels.

Upon reaching the Seventh Level, martial artists embark on a path of continuous exploration.

Seventh Level, Golden Body Realm, explores the body’s limits.

Eighth Level, Breaking Delusion Realm, explores the limits of perception.

Ninth Level, Leakless Realm, explores the limits of control.

When all three aspects reach their limits, humans can better understand Star Power, recognize their own bodies, break through illusions, and face their true selves.

When the body, Star Power, and perception become one, one can enter the realm of the Titled King.

This process is entirely different from the cultivation process below the Star Dust Realm in the Longyuan World.

In the Longyuan World, people are born into a Star Power-rich world, and even without deliberate cultivation, their cultivation will continuously rise until reaching the Star Dust stage.

Compared to the martial artists of the Human Federation, the cultivators of the Longyuan World possess far too many advantages.

But sometimes, advantages can become disadvantages.

Due to a lack of sufficient polishing, combat, and learning, although the cultivators of the Longyuan World take a significant step ahead of human martial artists, they also miss out on various experiences gained along the way.

The accumulation of Star Power.

The understanding of the body.

The spirit of exploration.

The unyielding will in the face of adversity.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Lin finds dealing with the ordinary outer sect disciples from the Crazy Saber Sect much easier than dealing with the Star Generals of the Alien Race.

Due to his cultivation of the Golden Body Sutra, Lu Lin’s control over his body far surpasses that of ordinary strong individuals in the Golden Body Realm.

Now, facing the massive medicinal power, after balancing the Star Power within his body, Lu Lin begins to cultivate.

Golden Body Sutra.

Lu Lin’s Golden Body Sutra has already reached the Fourth Layer, with physical strength reaching one million catties.

With the assistance of the Earth Bear Will, Lu Lin’s control over his body is something the people of the Wild Blade Clan cannot imagine.

In an instant.

Under Lu Lin’s guidance, that enormous medicinal power followed the operating route of the Golden Body Sutra and began tempering his bones.

Time slowly passed.

If that enormous medicinal power were placed on any Seventh Level human martial artist, even if that martial artist had not mastered their condition to the limit, it would be enough to help them break through the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm and reach the Eighth Level Breaking Delusion Realm.

But in Lu Lin’s cultivation, the medicinal power of this one Star Power Pill was barely enough to quench one-fiftieth of his bones.

A long journey ahead.

When the medicinal power was about to dissipate, Lu Lin had to consume another Star Power Pill.

This time, Lu Lin was already prepared. As soon as the medicinal power was activated, he directed it to assist in cultivating the Golden Body Sutra.

Virtually no medicinal power was wasted, greatly advancing Lu Lin’s progress in tempering his bones.

Three-fiftieths.

Lu Lin’s eyes emitted a sharp glow.

Just like that.

If the medicinal power of the Star Power Pill doesn’t wane, then using just two bottles of the elixir would allow him to surpass the Fourth Layer and the fifth time of bone refinement, directly beginning the quenching of internal organs.

The first and second layers of the Golden Body Sutra strengthen the cultivator’s skin and muscles.

The third layer to the end of the fifth layer involves bone refinement.

The sixth and seventh layers involve tempering internal organs.

The eighth layer involves tempering the head.

The ninth layer will touch upon the refinement of the Star Core.

If all goes well, Lu Lin might experience a significant increase in strength today and directly ascend to the Sixth Layer.

The Star Power Pill continues to be consumed.

The speed of Lu Lin’s bone tempering increases.

It is not known how much time passed before a shock ran through Lu Lin’s entire body.

In the state of Inner Vision, his body was aglow with golden light.

Aside from the cranial bones, every bone in Lu Lin’s body was indestructible.

His strength surged again.

From one million catties, it increased to five million catties.

The Golden Body Sutra also reached the Fifth Layer.

The strength of five million catties was still not Lu Lin’s limit.

Under the effect of the Star Power Pill, Lu Lin’s strength continued to climb.

Six million catties.

Seven million catties.

Eight million catties.

Nine million catties.

Nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand kilograms.

Lu Lin’s strength surged to ten times what it used to be.

From a numerical perspective, it was ten times one million catties, but in actual combat, Lu Lin felt he could easily defeat dozens of his former self.

The increase in combat power rose exponentially.

However, the medicinal power of the Star Power Pill still filled Lu Lin’s body, yet he could not advance further.

The Golden Body Sutra was stuck at the peak of the Fifth Layer.

The strength in his body could no longer increase even a little.

"Phew—"

Lu Lin exhaled deeply, expelling the unused medicinal power from his body with that breath.

Immediately, where Lu Lin was sitting, some resilient little grasses and other plants began to sprout and grow rapidly.

He opened his eyes, and everything before him seemed somewhat different.

The night was no longer pitch black.

Star power, exposed.

Lu Lin, who inherently possessed Eye System Talent, found his vision further strengthened upon entering the Level 8 Breaking Delusion Realm.

After all, he had never heard of a strong person in the Breaking Delusion Realm being able to see the wandering star power factors in the air directly.

Tonight, Lu Lin’s cultivation had come to a pause.

Currently situated in Sun Xiaorui’s main camp, Lu Lin found it inconvenient to test the extent of his current strength.

Everything would be left until tomorrow to consider.

Speaking of which.

Lu Lin suddenly remembered that starting tomorrow, he would be the General Manager Adviser in Sun Xiaorui’s army, specifically handling the education of the next generation of Sun Xiaorui’s juniors.

Haha, see you tomorrow, brats.

...

Sun Xiaorui had been busy all day, only rubbing her temples and stepping out of the army tent after dealing with everything.

Although she had some understanding of Xue Rongdao’s character before, Sun Xiaorui never expected him to be so decisive this time.

Xue Rongdao had often assumed the identity of the eldest senior brother in the past, often speaking and acting like a big brother to the juniors below him.

But after spending time together, Sun Xiaorui realized this eldest senior brother was not at all like what he appeared.

On one occasion, Sun Xiaorui heard someone murmur that Xue Rongdao had lent more than 300 star crystals to a junior brother and repeatedly pestered that disciple for repayment.

This forced the disciple to risk going out to hunt demon beasts, only to end up buried in the mouth of one due to inadequate ability.

No one knew if this was true or false, but since then, Sun Xiaorui began to pay attention to Xue Rongdao’s private actions and words.

In short, he was not as generous as he showed himself to be.

This time, being able to quickly retaliate after Sun Xiaorui refused him clearly suggested a higher power was advising Xue Rongdao from behind.

This caught Sun Xiaorui somewhat off guard.

"Senior sister."

A voice sounded.

Sun Xiaorui’s body suddenly jolted, then quickly returned to normal.

It was Mo Jianwu.

It seemed she too had been overwhelmed by the sudden events these past few days, losing even her alertness.

The corners of Sun Xiaorui’s mouth, hidden behind her face armor, slightly lifted, "Xiao Wu, haven’t you rested yet?"

"Not yet, have you finished all your matters, senior sister?"

"Yes."

"Well, these past two days, has our Wind Chasing Army suffered much loss among the juniors?"

"Not too much."

"Well... well..."

Seeing Mo Jianwu hesitant, unsure what to say, Sun Xiaorui patted her shoulder.

"Xiao Wu, tell me, what do you want?"

Mo Jianwu then bashfully lowered her head, realizing her thoughts had been detected by her senior sister.

"It’s nothing, really. I just wanted to talk to you about Lu Lin."

"Lu Lin?"

"What’s up with him?"

"He has a star skill."

Mo Jianwu suddenly exclaimed.

"A star skill? So what if he has a star skill? Although our Wild Blade Clan is small, there are at least thirty or more disciples with star skills within the sect."

"No."

Mo Jianwu saw that Sun Xiaorui did not grasp the meaning of her words, so she became somewhat anxious.

She moved closer to Sun Xiaorui and whispered, "Miss, when you were born, didn’t the Master do a fortune telling for you?"

"This event, you wouldn’t have forgotten it, right?"

"Fortune telling?"

Sun Xiaorui repeated these words, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

Turning her head to stare at Mo Jianwu, she asked, "Are you saying Lu Lin is the one destined for me?"

Mo Jianwu nodded repeatedly, like a little chicken pecking rice.

"Yes, Miss, Lu Lin has a star skill, and his name contains the character ’Lin.’ Don’t you think it matches the fortune that old Taoist gave you back then?"

"If you wish to progress further, to break through to the Star Emperor, then Lu Lin is your destined benefactor."

Upon mentioning this, Sun Xiaorui calmed down.

Mo Jianwu had lived the life of a wanderer in her youth, experiencing hardships until during one of Sun Xiaorui’s outings, she saved Mo Jianwu from several rascals bullying her for fun, and since then, Mo Jianwu had become her personal maid.

Later, when Sun Xiaorui joined the Wild Blade Clan, Mo Jianwu adamantly followed, saying it was to better take care of her.

Unexpectedly, Mo Jianwu possessed decent potential in cultivation; within just over ten years, she had grown from an ordinary Star Dust stage to now being an Inner Sect Elite Disciple.

Upon reaching Level 9 Star Core Realm, Mo Jianwu was unable to swiftly break through to Star Universe, and Sun Xiaorui refrained from giving her the Star Universe Breaking Mirror Pill, not wanting to be excessively biased toward her.

However, the temporary halt in cultivation did not discourage Mo Jianwu; She quickly found a task to occupy herself with.

Seeking the legendary destined person for Sun Xiaorui.

Sun Xiaorui was born into a prosperous family under the Crazy Saber Sect; when she was born, an old Taoist appeared uninvited, saying he wanted to do a fortune telling for Sun Xiaorui.

Pretending to read her fortune, the old Taoist left four sentences for the Sun family before floating away.

"In the great era, a princess is born."

"From the saber arises, encounters the forest in prosperity."

"Throughout life striving, unrepentant restart."

"A name left for posterity, praised in song and lyre."
