Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 66: Ring of Black Flame
The Emerald Box itself was indeed fine, but the Black Flame Saint Cult elder had painted a secret coating around it. He tracked that special coating and found Yang Lie's location.

Yang Lie's lips curled up slightly, his heart filled with joy. "This Black Flame Saint Cult elder is also quite wealthy. He has approximately 15 billion in cash and 8 million in assets. Add to that the 10 billion in cash I just acquired, and I can secure 33 billion. Killing people and stealing treasures is indeed the fastest way to get rich. No wonder this guy wanted to ambush me."

Yang Lie directly entered the small world.

"Ring of Black Flame."

"This forbidden item of the evil god can absorb all kinds of life energy and condense into black flames! The power of this black flame can burn even a martial arts master-level warrior."

"Anyone who possesses this forbidden artifact of the evil god will be contaminated and transformed into the Black Flame Beast. They will also gradually become a fanatical follower of the Black Flame Prince. Once the holder becomes a fanatical follower of the Black Flame Prince, the contamination will be impossible to eliminate."

"Decomposing the Black Flame Ring will yield a fourth-tier Black Flame Fruit and ten pieces of Spiritual Land. Purifying the Black Flame Ring will consume one thousand Spiritual Stones."

Yang Lie decisively said: "Purify the Black Flame Ring!!"

The Black Flame Ring was also a heavily contaminated and powerful forbidden artifact of the Evil God. If Yang Lie used both the Devil's Skin and the Black Flame Ring simultaneously, while costing a great deal of energy, it would also double his combat power, instantly boosting him from a weak Jindan realm to a stronger one.

A ray of emerald green light shone on the black flame ring, and a large amount of dark mist rose up, purifying all the pollution.

After returning to Fenjin City, Yang Lie resumed the boring life of a college entrance examination candidate. At the same time, during the holidays, he exchanged all the property of the Black Flame Holy Sect elders into spirit stones, and once again opened up three acres of spiritual land in his spiritual land.

After Yang Lie acquired a large amount of spiritual land, his speed of swallowing the complete fourth-level beast fruit increased dramatically. His cultivation speed also improved by leaps and bounds.

A month later, inside the college's gravity room.

Yang Lie's true energy circulated through the five internal organs in his body and finally sank into his heart. His heart beat wildly and directly transformed into a jade state. A large amount of bright red blood with jade-like characteristics gushed out from his heart and sank into his kidneys, lungs, liver, and spleen. The four major organs also began to transform into jade forms.

Yang Lie opened his mouth and spat, and a stream of extremely filthy blood shot out of his mouth and landed in the trash can beside him.

After spitting out that arrow of blood, Yang Lie felt refreshed all over and became stronger. At the same time, his true energy circulated, and he naturally entered the next advanced stage of refining the internal organs.

Once Yang Lie successfully cultivated to the Refining Internal Organs Realm, his ability to withstand attacks and recover increased dramatically again.

Another month later, Yang Lie successfully upgraded his Viscera Refining Realm to the Jade Level, and successfully advanced to the Five Senses Refining Realm.

Once Yang Lie successfully reached the Fu-Refining Realm, his digestive ability skyrocketed. He was able to consume more food each time, and his organs were able to obtain more energy. Furthermore, his resistance to poisons also increased dramatically.

Another month passed, and Yang Lie successfully refined his five senses to the Jade level, and successfully entered the Brain Refining Realm. His vision, smell, hearing, and taste all improved significantly.

When Yang Lie reached the ninth level of the Hundred Refinements, the Brain Refining Realm, he finally encountered trouble. Despite possessing a vast amount of life essence from fourth-tier beasts and cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Gong and Azure Dragon Fist, two heavenly-level martial arts, his progress in the Brain Refining Realm remained incredibly slow. Seeing his progress was slow, Yang Lie went directly to Wu Cong to inquire about the cause.

"The ninth level of the Hundred Refining Realms, the Brain Refining Realm, is the most crucial level. You can't rush this level. You must cultivate to the Silver level or above. Otherwise, any path you take in the future will be extremely difficult. This is also the reason why many martial arts geniuses are trapped in the Brain Refining Realm."

"However, if you can comprehend this Star God Map, you will be able to significantly increase your cultivation speed in the Brain Refining Realm!"

Wu Cong took out a piece of animal skin and handed it directly to Yang Lie, saying, "This Star God Map is a replica of the Star God Map drawn by Lord Li Xinghe, the most powerful being ranked first on the God List. It contains various secret techniques for cultivating the Brain Refining Realm."

"Different people have different brains, so the secret techniques they comprehend from viewing the Star God Diagram are also different. However, comprehending the Star God Diagram is extremely difficult, requiring a very high level of comprehension. You can try to comprehend it briefly, and if you can't figure it out, there's no need to waste too much time on it."

"In addition to comprehending the Star God Map, as long as you're admitted to one of the four top-tier universities, you can use your credits to redeem resources for brain training, so there's no need to rush."

Yang Lie took the hide and looked at it carefully. He saw that it was covered with dense stars shining in the darkness. He looked carefully and saw that the stars looked like an extremely bright star dragon.

As the Star Dragon took shape, the true energy in Yang Lie's body began to boil, transforming into the form of the Star Dragon and flying into his brain.

Yang Lie's brain began to rapidly absorb the Star Dragon Qi and was constantly being developed and strengthened.

A burning look flashed across Wu Cong's eyes. "He actually comprehended it after just one look! That's amazing! It looks like he might even be able to make it into the top 100!"

The higher Yang Lie's ranking in the college entrance examination, the greater the benefits Wu Cong will gain as the person in charge.

The four top-tier universities are the most powerful overlords in the Human Alliance, with students from these four universities occupying over 70% of the top positions in the Alliance. Furthermore, each of these four universities controls its own resource planets, making them generous in recruiting talented individuals.

Seeing Yang Lie finish his practice, Wu Cong smiled and praised, "Yang Lie, well done! The Star God Diagram is notoriously difficult to comprehend. Even among a hundred thousand geniuses in the Hundred Refining Realm, not one might succeed. You succeeded after just one look at the Star God Diagram. That's truly remarkable!"

Yang Lie said, "Thanks to your guidance, Teacher! If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even know the Star God Map, let alone comprehend it."

Wu Cong laughed heartily: "Hahahaha!"

In the following days, Yang Lie swallowed various fruits of ferocious beasts while practicing the Star Dragon Secret Art to strengthen his brain. At the same time, he used up his remaining funds and asked Zhao Meixian to purchase the corpses of various first- and second-level ferocious beasts, collecting eleven to fifteen corpses of each type of ferocious beast.

Ferocious beasts were a specialty of Konghe Star, and other planets also possessed their own extraordinary creatures. However, Yang Lie was unaware of the prices of extraordinary creatures from other planets, so before leaving Konghe Star, he planned to stockpile a large number of ferocious beast carcasses. This way, even if he couldn't obtain complete carcasses of other monsters in the future, he could use lower-level ferocious beasts to continue strengthening his life force.
