Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 133 Refining the Golden Body with Ice and Fire, Immortal Spiritual Energy, Heavenly Dou Royal Academy (Seeking Subscriptions)

The colossal phantom image, which would normally require a long time and a large amount of resources to develop, is now being condensed and born at an astonishing speed.

Sixty percent, seventy percent, eighty percent, ninety percent!

His stagnant cultivation progress suddenly surged, and before long, he had completely achieved perfection!

After You Chen cultivated all 840 million physical particles into giant elephant particles and fully mastered the introductory chapter of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, the transformation naturally followed.

The physical body gradually becomes pure, sublimating towards a more perfect state.

You Chen had experienced this feeling before.

"Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing!?"

You Chen was acutely aware of this change.

Although the root causes of this phenomenon are different, and the heat is distinct from the cool airflow during the Yi Jin Fa Sui (a traditional Chinese medicine practice), it seems to be excavated from the particles of the flesh, but the effects and results are similar.

Just like how spirit rings of the same age can provide different boosts to a spirit master, with some leaning more towards speed and others towards defense, this sublimation is more inclined to hone You Chen's physical body to be closer to the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, which is a more pure and specialized enhancement of physical aptitude!

In terms of changes in physical aptitude alone, it is probably no less than a dozen times of the Yi Jin Fa Zuan (a traditional Chinese medicine technique)!

It's like the more one cultivates the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, the more one's talent in this technique will gradually improve.

With the completion of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force Giant Elephant Chapter, the previous system-given Tendon Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing, the physical sublimation this time, and the effects of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, under these four opportunities, You Chen finally had a flash of understanding of the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand Dragon Elephant Chapter!

Thus, the first dragon-elephant microparticle was born!

With the first dragon-elephant particle secured, the subsequent condensation was a natural progression.

You Chen roughly estimated that once he had completely refined the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass, he would be able to advance his progress in the Lesser Completion Realm to about 30%!

Having mastered the introductory chapters, You Chen's physical body naturally reached the Super Douluo level...

Having mastered 30% of the Lesser Completion chapter, his physical physique would probably be considered above average among Super Douluo.

This improvement is quite significant.

After all, in the Soul Master cultivation system of Douluo Continent, the gap widens as you progress.

There are eight realms from Soul Master to Soul Douluo, but the feeling of Title Douluo, especially Super Douluo, is that each additional level is equivalent to the difference of the previous realm.

It's similar to how the progression from Soul Master to Soul Douluo is a major realm, and the Title Douluo level is another major realm. Even considering the sequels to Douluo Continent, Limit Douluo could be considered a completely new major realm…

The chapter on the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force corresponds to this.

Having completed the introductory chapters, he possesses a physical body at the level of a Title Douluo. His physical strength alone is roughly equivalent to the threshold of a Title Douluo or the peak of a Soul Douluo. The reason You Chen's physical body is comparable to a Super Douluo upon completing the introductory chapters is because even excluding the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, his physical strength is already close to the Title Douluo level. Combining these two factors, reaching the Super Douluo level is a natural progression.

Once the Lesser Completion chapter is fully mastered, the physical body is comparable to that of a Limit Douluo. With the physical body of a Limit Douluo, one can contend with an ordinary level 98 Super Douluo.

Reaching the Great Completion Chapter brings another qualitative change. Just by initially entering this level, one can possess a physical body at the level of a priest, which is level 100. Once one has cultivated to 100%, one will possess a physical body at the level of a first-level god!

The final stage, the Divine Particle Chapter, grants one a God-King level physical body simply by entering it. If one cultivates it to its fullest potential, one can contend with a God-King with just their physical body! That is roughly the so-called Dragon God's domain!

The ultimate form of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force is indeed enviable, but You Chen is still far from mastering the Dragon Elephant Particle Technique...

With the help of the immortal herb, he advanced the progress of the Dragon Elephant Particle by 30% in one go. Combined with the previous progress of the Giant Elephant Particle by 50%, it can be said that this immortal herb has saved him at least several decades of hard work so far.

Of course, considering that it won't be long before You Chen breaks through to the Title Douluo level, and considering that the difficulty of cultivation decreases after the level of life increases, this timeframe needs to be adjusted, but it will still be at least ten years.

More importantly, the immortal herb not only provided cultivation resources, but also greatly improved You Chen's aptitude and foundation, effectively reducing his future cultivation time.

At least, the minor chapter that You Chen originally thought was impossible to complete before facing the great battle ahead is no longer a dream.

Thus, although the refining process was not yet complete, You Chen had already achieved one of the major goals of absorbing the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass.

You Chen's other purpose was... to obtain immortal spiritual energy!

The aura of immortality is a special substance that normally only exists in the realm of gods, and it is the foundation of the immortality of the gods!

But even in this lower realm, there is still a very small amount of immortal spiritual energy... Yes, it is found within the immortal herbs!

How could You Chen not notice this?

If one intends to live a life of quiet desperation, then of course there is no need to consider the issue of gods. But since he has decided to intervene in the conflicts of the continent and intends to unleash his ambition in this world, You Chen cannot help but consider the issue of gods.

And this celestial energy is naturally the best entry point!

While refining the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb and tempering his physical body, You Chen still managed to divert his attention, relying on his powerful spiritual energy, which had reached the Spirit Realm, to try to capture that theoretically existing wisp of immortal spiritual energy.

You Chen had never been exposed to immortal spiritual energy, but all he needed to do was find that one obvious uniqueness hidden within the properties of this immortal herb!

Ordinary people cannot understand its existence, but You Chen, who has no information gap, can naturally determine that it is the immortal spiritual energy he has been searching for!

After refining the medicinal power of the immortal herbs was on track, You Chen was able to devote more attention to examining the changes within his body. Soon after, he noticed the cool air currents that were distinct from the medicinal power of the immortal herbs...

The cool airflow and the medicinal power were completely integrated. If it wasn't separated, it would be difficult to proceed with the next step of the analysis.

Considering that this cool airflow, which is most likely the essence of immortal spirits, is probably the reason why the immortal herb has such an incredible ability to rebuild one's foundation in this world, and that rashly peeling it off might cause a significant loss of medicinal properties, You Chen ultimately did not choose to forcibly peel it off using his powerful mental strength.

only……

Why does this airflow feel so familiar?

You Chen couldn't help but think this way.

……

"Hmm? Brother Chen, is something not going well?"

Dugu Bo saw a bewildered man emerge from the spring that had even made him somewhat hesitant, and couldn't help but ask a question.

You Chen snapped back to reality, shook his head, and said, "No, everything went smoothly, it's just... smoother than I expected."

Dugu Bo asked in confusion, "Isn't that a good thing?"

You Chen smiled: "It is indeed a good thing. In any case, it's time to go and see your lovely granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's doubts vanished instantly, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Chen, I'll lead the way right away!"

"etc."

"Hmm? Brother Chen, is there anything else we need to prepare?"

Under Dugu Bo's questioning gaze, You Chen's figure flickered, revealing a young figure.

Having already suffered a setback, Dugu Bo immediately recognized the seemingly flawless young man as You Chen's previous soul skill avatar. He still exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of Brother Chen, you've mastered soul skills to such a degree!"

Although he praised him, Dugu Bo didn't understand what You Chen was up to.

"Youxing" grinned and said, "Wrong, wrong, this is the real one."

Dugu Bo: "Huh?"

You Xing laughed, "Brother Dugu, with your status, joining my organization naturally wouldn't mean starting from the bottom. From today onwards, you are the fourth Beast Leader of the Soul Fighting Beasts—Snake Head Dugu Bo! And to each Beast Leader, I will tell them this secret—the secret of my Twin Martial Souls!"

"Twin...twin martial souls!? It's actually twin martial souls!?"

Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed in surprise.

At this moment, he had a reasonable explanation for the unexpected strength that You Chen had previously displayed.

"No wonder! No wonder I previously heard that Brother Chen was only outstanding in theory but mediocre in strength, yet today he has unleashed such power! It seems that Brother Chen has used the unique ability of his twin martial souls to absorb another set of soul rings, thus elevating himself to the Title Douluo level in a short time!"

Thinking this way, Dugu Bo felt much better.

Looking at the boyish-looking Youxing, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "But Brother Chen, why do your twin martial souls make you younger?"

Unlike the five people, including Ignis, who knew their limits and even worried about damaging the leader's reputation, Dugu Bo was clearly the type to ask questions directly.

You Xing said, "Simply put, my second spirit is quite special, and the spirit master himself is also affected by it. When I first switched, I directly turned into a baby, and it has grown step by step from more than ten years ago to the present to this form. I am still studying the mysteries behind it."

"So that's how it is! The world is truly full of wonders!" Dugu Bo exclaimed purely.

You Xing glanced at Dugu Bo and said, "I've only told you this secret so far, Brother Dugu, so don't tell anyone else."

Dugu Bo nodded earnestly: "Brother Chen, I, as your younger brother, would rather die than reveal your secret!"

"There's no need to be so extreme..."

And so, Yusei blatantly lied to get away with it.

He pointed to his clone, who had taken the form of You Chen, and had it put on a cloak. He said, "In short, I will now act as my disciple 'You Xing,' and as for my master 'You Chen,' I will only intervene when necessary."

"What's the point of this...?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but scratch his head.

"You'll understand someday..."

You Xing tilted his head slightly, adopting a mysterious and inscrutable expression. Clearly, Dugu Bo was susceptible to this.

Actually... there wasn't any particular reason.

However, as was customary, You Chen held back a trick.

This is, after all, the capital of the Heaven Dou Kingdom, and it has gathered a considerable number of people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall.

You Chen's reputation is too great, and the attitude of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship is still somewhat ambiguous. If any unexpected situation arises, using You Xing as a buffer would still leave room for negotiation.

This cloaked figure could be either a wandering swordsman or simply a regular guard. It all depends on the situation.

Of course, You Chen now possesses the strength to face or even defeat a Super Douluo, so this move is more about avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Right now, what he's most concerned about is finishing things up here as soon as possible and then taking Dugu Bo back to the Soul Fighting Beast's base camp.

You Chen did not simply take all the immortal herbs into his possession just because Dugu Bo said he would give them to him.

After all, many medicinal herbs have specific requirements not only for how they are consumed, but also for how they are harvested.

He had just said he recognized the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, but then he put it away without any fear of damaging its medicinal properties or causing poisoning.

If Dugu Bo had the opportunity to learn more about the immortal herbs in the future, he would definitely discover the flaws and realize that You Chen had already recognized all the immortal herbs. He would then be unable to eliminate a crucial oversight—You Chen could have cured Dugu Yan with the immortal herbs, but instead he "kidnapped" Dugu Yan in this semi-coercive way.

You Chen was always very meticulous about these details. Anyway, these immortal herbs were growing here and wouldn't run away, so there was no need to go to any extra trouble.

Soon, the three figures set off together towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As the trio entered the mountainous area outside Tiandou City where the Tiandou Royal Academy was located, the clone You Chen suddenly hid, leaving only Dugu Bo and You Xing walking side by side towards the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Dugu Bo even marveled at You Chen's impressive ability to conceal his aura, saying that he truly deserved to be hailed as the number one assassin in the world, a Heavenly-level killer.

Dugu Bo enthusiastically introduced the scenery to Youxing, and the journey was smooth. Given Dugu Bo's status, it was impossible for him to lack a pass. Even though his appearance had changed, the guards did not stop them.

However, when the two ignored the guards' attempts to stop them from entering the first training ground together, they eventually caused a commotion.

"What's going on?"

"It seems that some visitors have barged in without permission."

This first training ground is the daily training location for the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

Besides their instructor Qin Ming, Yu Feng and Oslo, two agility-type Soul Masters, were the first to notice the situation and shared their judgments with each other.

The others followed suit and all stopped training.

At only seventeen or sixteen years old, Dugu Yan is self-centered and, relying on the favor of her grandfather, a titled Douluo, has developed an arrogant and disdainful attitude. She is warm and welcoming to acquaintances she approves of, but completely different towards strangers, rarely showing them any kindness.

His cultivation was disrupted by outsiders, and he immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.

In reality, apart from Ye Lingling, the rest of the Royal Fighting Team members were all somewhat arrogant and looked down on others.

Even Qin Ming, the teacher, only gained their recognition after demonstrating his impressive skills and teaching abilities.

At this moment, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were only near the entrance of the training ground. Given the distance and the drastic change in Dugu Bo's appearance, Dugu Yan did not immediately realize that the person who had come was her good grandfather.

Yu Tianheng noticed the change in Dugu Yan's expression immediately.

Contrary to what Dugu Bo said, Yu Tianheng at this time was far from having completely won over Dugu Yan; he was still in the stage of trying hard to please her.

Seeing this, he immediately frowned and said gently to Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan, there's no need to get angry over this. I'll help you get rid of them."

Qin Ming, who had intended to step forward to resolve the matter, silently withdrew his steps when he saw Yu Tianheng volunteer.

Judging from their youthful appearance, he figured that even if the two men could break through the gatekeepers, given Yu Tianheng's abilities, they shouldn't be in any real danger. It would be a good opportunity to see if Yu Tianheng was competent in handling such situations.

Although Qin Ming was only the teacher training the Heaven Dou Royal Team, he did not see himself as just a training instructor, and was naturally happy to provide guidance beyond improving combat power.

Dugu Bo was initially overjoyed and eager to share the good news with his beloved granddaughter, but when he saw Yu Tianheng walking towards him with a proud and imposing air, his expression instantly fell.

"Kid—"

Although Dugu Bo said he couldn't bear to force his granddaughter to leave the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy because of her love, he appeared to be giving her his complete blessing.

But that's not actually the case at all.

In Dugu Bo's eyes, Yu Tianheng was nothing special. If it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him, he wouldn't have taken him seriously.

Of course... this can't really be said to be Yu Tianheng's problem; it's just that the old man Dugu Bo doesn't want to see his own cabbage being eaten by a pig.

As soon as Dugu Bo uttered two words, You Xing reached out to stop him. Although Dugu Bo was puzzled, since his good brother had given such an instruction, he naturally obeyed. It was definitely not because he couldn't beat him!

Yu Tianheng came closer and saw You Xing's handsome face, which was beginning to mature.

After undergoing numerous transformations and refinements, Youxing had begun to resemble a celestial being. His otherworldly charm made even the proud Yu Tianheng feel ashamed of himself, followed by strong vigilance and resistance.

No matter how calm Yu Tianheng was, he was still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. When he was in front of a girl he liked, especially the one he hadn't yet won over, he would naturally be wary and hostile towards girls of the opposite sex who were more attractive than him.

The words I had carefully prepared in my mind turned out to be a cold, impersonal sentence when they reached my lips...

"You are not welcome here. Unauthorized personnel should not trespass on other people's territory. Don't you realize the trouble you're causing us and other staff?"

Upon hearing this, You Chen turned his head and smiled at Dugu Bo: "Uncle Dugu, he said we are unrelated people."

Ok?

"Uncle Dugu?"

Yu Tianheng frowned, sensing something was amiss. He looked at Dugu Bo, and as he gazed at his distinctive personal style, his clothes began to feel familiar.

"Wait, Tianheng!"

Dugu Yan finally realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward, asking hesitantly and in shock, "You...you wouldn't happen to be Grandpa, would you?"

Dugu Bo couldn't help but snort, turning his head to say, "I saw it. This kid just stood up for you. What, you think I'm a nobody too?"

Seeing his arrogant demeanor and familiar tone, Dugu Yan immediately confirmed Dugu Bo's identity.

Although I don't know why my grandfather suddenly became young and handsome, I can't be wrong about the bond of blood!

She quickly stepped forward and hugged Dugu Bo's arm, shaking it playfully to comfort him, "Oh dear, isn't it because Grandpa you suddenly look so young and handsome? Not to mention Tianheng, even I didn't recognize you at first glance! It's all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!"

Yu Tianheng, who was standing to the side, also quickly apologized to Dugu Bo.

Misunderstanding is misunderstanding.

Just then, You Xing's voice rang out again. He looked at Yu Tianheng and said coldly, "But instead of investigating the truth, you come here to interrogate us without even knowing the facts? You can see the whole picture from a single spot. Such a reckless style will easily attract the wrong people and only increase trouble and danger. Uncle Dugu, I think it would be better for Sister Yan Yan to become my teacher's disciple than to stay in this circle. I think this would be more beneficial for her development."
