Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days of uneventful days slipped by quietly.

Qin Le's life remained regular—aside from giving Chen Yun and his dining buddies another lecture a few days ago, he spent the rest of his time wandering aimlessly around the academy, perfectly embodying the title of the most idle person in the entire academy.

But this leisurely life is mostly reserved for the academy, or rather, the mortal world.

On the other side of the heavens, however, the scene was quite different.

Since the discovery of the spirit's infiltration, the celestial array masters have been working day and night to urgently develop a new type of array capable of monitoring abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy.

This formation was quickly deployed at the front lines and key rear locations in various war zones, as well as along spiritual energy transport channels leading to the mortal realm, to prevent a recurrence of such assassination attempts.

The assassination attempt on Qin Le failed completely. The Chaos entity, which had been sealed away by several sages, reportedly let out a roar of anger and resentment that lasted for several days from the depths of the seal.

This pleased the saints guarding the seal.

Lunchtime at the college cafeteria.

Qin Le, Chen Yun, Chu Xiaonan, Lu Qingshuang, Luo Qiuyue, Wang Zhiheng, and Li Yanran sat around a table as usual.

After finishing the last bite of rice, Chu Xiaonan wiped his mouth and grinned, "Qin Le, this afternoon... help me cultivate."

After these days of tempering, his physical body has finally reached a level where it can initially bear the power of the laws.

"Sure," Qin Le readily agreed and put down her chopsticks.

At this moment, Chen Yun suddenly remembered something and looked at Chu Xiaonan curiously:

"By the way, I remember in mythology it says that those who achieve 'physical sainthood' can fight immortals while remaining mortal... What exactly is that state? Or rather, how outrageous is its power?"

As soon as the question was raised, everyone at the table turned their attention to Chu Xiaonan. Among them, only Chu Xiaonan had chosen the path of body cultivation, so he naturally knew the answer to this question best.

Chu Xiaonan scratched his head and chuckled, "I can't really explain the specifics, since I haven't reached that level yet. But it's said that... it involves tempering the physical body to the point where it's immune to the direct influence of most laws. As for how exactly one trains to that level... I really don't know."

He was naturally curious and eager to explore that realm, but there were very few who could reach that level.

There are none in the mortal realm, and in the celestial realm, only a handful are widely known.

"The immune system's influence?!" The group was all taken aback upon hearing this.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such an effect as achieving physical sanctification.

But upon closer examination, it seems reasonable—if we disregard external objects such as magic weapons and supernatural powers, the strongest means of a powerful Earth Immortal is undoubtedly the laws they comprehend themselves.

If even this strongest method is ineffective, then a person who has achieved physical sainthood is practically invincible.

Of course, defeating the opponent is extremely difficult, and most of the time it results in a stalemate where neither side can gain the upper hand.

"As expected." Qin Le shook his head with a smile, sighing again, "Body cultivation is just so unfair."

The others nodded in agreement.

Body cultivation has many drawbacks: it consumes resources like water, and the cultivation process is extremely painful.

But its greatest strength—absolute power—is enough to overshadow all these shortcomings.

Just like Chen Yun's truth, even though it has many shortcomings, its power is immense, which can silence all doubts.

Afternoon, in the body tempering room.

Qin Le and Chu Xiaonan found the baby-faced physical education teacher and explained their purpose.

After the teacher carefully explained to Qin Le the key points and precautions for manipulating the power of the laws and assisting in body tempering, the two found a spacious place in the body tempering room and prepared to begin.

Other senior students who were practicing body cultivation also stopped and curiously gathered around, wanting to see how Qin Le would do it.

Chu Xiaonan stopped about ten meters away from Qin Le, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Let's begin."

"Okay." Qin Le nodded, his expression becoming serious.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and made a fist in the air in the direction of Chu Xiaonan.

hum-

In an instant, the space around Chu Xiaonan seemed to transform into invisible, supple yet heavy mercury, which began to press and constrict against him from all directions, penetrating every nook and cranny.

Under this overwhelming spatial force, Chu Xiaonan's figure was slowly compressed and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"puff!"

In just a few breaths, Chu Xiaonan's face turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, irregular, fine cracks began to appear on his skin, and blood quickly seeped out, turning him into a shocking blood-soaked figure in the blink of an eye.

Extreme pain surged through his nerves like a tidal wave, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent, fully activating his body-refining technique. He guided and absorbed the spatial pressure applied to his body, as well as the wisps of spatial law power that Qin Le had deliberately left behind and infiltrated into his body, painstakingly integrating them into every inch of his muscles, bones, and flesh.

The senior students observing around them remained calm; most of them had gone through this ordeal and knew what it was like.

Only the baby-faced teacher was completely focused at this moment, her eyes like lightning, fixed on Chu Xiaonan's state.

At the same time, he focused intently on sensing the intensity and rhythm of the force Qin Le was applying, ready to warn her at any moment—this process was extremely dangerous, and if he was not careful, Chu Xiaonan would either die or be maimed.

Time passed slowly in the oppressive silence and Chu Xiaonan's heavy breathing.

About two hours later, a glint flashed in the physical training teacher's eyes, and he immediately spoke up:

"Stop! You've reached your limit!"

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Le instantly released his control over that space. The compressive force receded like a tide, and the surrounding space returned to normal.

"It's filthy."

The baby-faced teacher looked at Chu Xiaonan, who was covered in blood and could barely stand, with disdain written all over her face. She raised her hand and shot out a beam of light that landed on Chu Xiaonan.

Wherever the light passed, the bloodstains were completely removed.

Chu Xiaonan was pale and weak, but she still grinned and gave Qin Le a thumbs-up, her smile still bright:

"The effect... is really good."

"As long as it works," Qin Le said with a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the physical education teacher turned his gaze to Qin Le, looked him up and down a few times, and suddenly asked:

"Judging from your appearance... helping two or three more people shouldn't be a problem, right?"

As an earth immortal who has comprehended the laws, her eyesight is naturally extraordinary.

Qin Le's breathing was steady and her expression was normal, clearly indicating that she was far from reaching her limit. Unlike her, who would expend a great deal of energy and need a long time to recover after each time she helped her students cultivate.

However, she also understood that Qin Le had comprehended a higher level of immortality, and that using the power of laws in a lower level would naturally be much less of a burden for him, allowing for more precise and relaxed control.

As soon as she said this, the eyes of the senior students who hadn't yet had their turn to be personally mentored by the teacher lit up instantly, and they looked intently at Qin Le.

Although Chen Yun's body-refining artifact was excellent, the intensity of its law-based attacks was fixed, and some of them were unable to withstand it.

If Qin Le could assist with cultivation in manual mode, it would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the progress and make it safer and more controllable.

"Three... should be fine." Qin Le glanced at his own condition and nodded in agreement.

In fact, given his circumstances, he could help far more than three people.

But Nuwa had warned him beforehand not to reveal too much, so he naturally had to obey.

"Then..." The baby-faced teacher's eyes lit up, and almost without hesitation, she asked directly, "Would you like to come to the Body Tempering Room and be a teaching assistant?"

She had already planned it out. Helping students cultivate by herself was inefficient; the waiting list would take forever.

Qin Le is just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so if we could get him to come and help, it would be a huge boon for these group of cultivation students.

Upon hearing this, Qin Le pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

He understood the teacher's intention. If he were to help in a personal capacity, these senior students might not be able to afford the corresponding favor or resources.

However, if one has the role of a teaching assistant, guiding students in their cultivation becomes their duty, and everything will fall into place naturally.

"Okay! You wait here, I'll go get the paperwork approved by the dean right away!"

Seeing that Qin Le readily agreed, the baby-faced teacher smiled and turned to run out, her short legs moving quickly, looking anxious as if she was afraid Qin Le would change her mind.

Qin Le watched her hurried figure disappear into the distance, then chuckled and shook his head.

Teaching assistant it is, anyway... he really has a lot of free time.
