Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 3 Physical Power, Fourfold Thunder Blade

After using up his lottery chances, Jiang Chen emerged from the system space.

Feeling his own powerful physique and comprehension surpassing his previous level by three times, Jiang Chen knew that what had just happened was real, not an illusion.

He brought up the system panel again.

[All Heavens Lottery System]

[Number of draws: 0]

[Task: Break through to Planetary level to receive one system lottery draw.]

"Planetary level is not difficult for me now."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, attempting to cultivate.

He sat up cross-legged with practiced ease, his five palms facing the sky, and activated the Ninefold Primordial Guiding Technique. Instantly, surging cosmic energy poured into Jiang Chen's body.

When Jiang Chen cultivated gene energy, even with guidance techniques, the efficiency of absorbing cosmic energy was extremely low.

Cosmic energy, like a trickle, flowed into the genes of every cell of his body, slowly changing his physical constitution.

Now that he has become an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, his efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy is more than a hundred times greater than before!

Every moment, cosmic energy surges into the body like a mighty river.

His body, every cell, was like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring even the largest influx of cosmic energy.

As a result, his strength increased rapidly.

In just one hour, his strength had reached the level of an advanced warrior, and it was still increasing.

This absorption of genetic energy lasted for ten hours.

This was only because Jiang Chen forcibly interrupted it; otherwise, it would probably have taken even longer.

Even with the guidance technique, Jiang Chen could only cultivate the cosmic energy for a maximum of half an hour before his cells became completely saturated.

Now, his body is like a bottomless pit, seemingly unable to be filled by any amount of cosmic energy.

After ten hours of training, Jiang Chen's strength had reached the level of a beginner-level warrior.

In a single day, he crossed two realms. Even without the temporary boost from life genes, the power of the Sacred Body still exceeded Jiang Chen's imagination.

After testing his body, Jiang Chen picked up his battle sword and began to examine his comprehension.

He unleashed the Ninefold Thunder Blade, wielding it rapidly throughout the room. What was once an intricate and difficult-to-understand sword technique was now completely transparent to him, thanks to his tripled comprehension.

The longsword twisted, tearing through the wind with a whistling sound. Layer upon layer of sword energy overlapped, creating a surging, endless wave of sword energy, each layer stronger than the last.

"Ninefold Thunder Blade, Third Level!"

His muscles were bulging, his sword strike was unparalleled, and he unleashed a burst of power 2.8 times his base strength.

Even an air strike creates a terrifying gale, blowing all the furniture in the house to pieces.

After Jiang Chen unleashed this strike, he closed his eyes, various thoughts flashing through his mind as he analyzed the gains and losses of this attack.

A moment later, his eyes suddenly opened, the long sword hummed softly, and he gripped it in his hand, continuing to swing it.

The even more ferocious sword strikes continued unabated, turning all the furniture in the room into dust. The walls were covered with sword marks, each one penetrating to the very core of the stone, a feat of exquisite precision.

"Ninefold Thunder Blade, Fourth Level!"

An attack 3.5 times stronger than his own power base was unleashed once more!

Boom!

Like the deafening roar of cannonballs, the entire room collapsed. Some of the blade energy even flew dozens of meters away, some snapping large trees in half, others shearing off a layer of the ground.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen lived in a detached villa and was all alone.

Otherwise, if there were other martial artists around, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Chen emerged from the ruins of the collapsed villa. Although he looked covered in dust and dirt, his expression remained calm as he recalled the move he had just made.

"My current strength has just reached the initial stage of warrior. If I use the fourth level of the Nine-fold Thunder Blade, I can defeat even a mid-level warrior."

"And this is far from my limit!"

With his current powerful comprehension, even the fifth level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade wouldn't take him long to fully comprehend.

When his power is unleashed, it will reach 4.2 times his base strength, enough to rival a high-level warrior.

If one were to further utilize mental power, then one would be virtually invincible below the God of War!

"What happened?!"

This is a military base, so such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the military personnel.

Upon seeing the scene here, the military personnel from the region all changed color.

"I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength well when I was practicing martial arts just now and I damaged this place. I am willing to compensate for all the losses."

Jiang Chen explained the specific reasons clearly, and because of his good attitude, the military warriors did not make things difficult for him.

However, necessary compensation is indispensable.

But for him, born into one of the top families in the Hanxia Kingdom, this amount of money was nothing.

Jingle Bell!

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Jiang Chen picked it up and saw it was his older brother in this life, Jiang Yi, calling.

"Jiang Chen, you've been in the wilderness for almost half a year now, aren't you coming back?"

"This time, our old man personally went to find Feng Jue, the president of the Kyoto Extreme Sports Club, and secured a spot for you in the elite training camp."

"However, if you want to truly enter the elite training camp, you still need to participate in the B-level assessment. The assessment will be held in a week, so hurry back and prepare."

As soon as Jiang Chen answered the phone, the voice on the other end came crashing down on him.

"Elite training camp? Level B assessment? Tell my father I'll definitely pass it, so he can rest assured."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

With Jiang Chen's current strength, he is capable of entering the elite training camp even without relying on his family.

As for the so-called B-level assessment, it's a sure thing.

"You've got quite the nerve, kid. Looks like you've improved a lot during your training trip. What's your strength now? Tell your grandpa."

The phone was snatched away, and Jiang Chen recognized the voice immediately—it was his grandfather in this life, Jiang Mu, the patriarch of the Jiang family.

"Martial arts strength: beginner-level general; mental strength: advanced general; subtle movement technique; fourth level of Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. What do you think?"

Jiang Chen briefly explained his current strength.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's report of his strength, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't help but gasp, then burst into laughter: "Haha! Good lad, as expected of your grandfather's grandson, you're truly remarkable. It seems the future of my Jiang family rests on your shoulders."

"No, sir, you're strong and healthy, in your prime. This whole family is counting on you. You can't just abandon everything and leave it all to me."

"You brat, can't you let your grandpa rest for a few years and enjoy his retirement? You're so unfilial!"

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen said, "I feel like I've made another breakthrough these past few days. I'll go to the wilderness area again and then go back in a few days. I definitely won't miss the assessment."

"Then you better watch out, kid, don't cause any trouble."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mu, with his snow-white hair and vigorous spirit, still had a smile on his face.

His biggest regret in life was that he lacked the aptitude for martial arts and was unable to cultivate it.

Now that a martial arts genius has emerged among his grandchildren, and is also a mentalist, he naturally pays close attention to him.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen and he got along well, and he liked him very much, even planning to hand over the entire family to him in the future.

However, Jiang Chen was focused on martial arts and had little interest in the various affairs of his family.

Fortunately, he has an older brother named Jiang Yi. Although his martial arts talent is mediocre, he is very shrewd in dealing with people and things, and has a great talent for investment and business management. He is worth nurturing.

Therefore, Jiang Mu has now handed over part of the family's business to Jiang Yi to manage.

"Grandpa, if Brother Chen enters the elite training camp, it will greatly enhance the family's status. In the future, it may even surpass the Wang family and become the number one family in Hanxia Kingdom."

Jiang Yi spoke to Jiang Mu with utmost respect.

Apart from Jiang Chen, no other member of the Jiang family dared to act so carelessly in front of Jiang Mu, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

"Um."

Jiang Mu nodded: "Although my Jiang family has warriors at the God of War level, we lack warriors above the God of War level. Xiao Chen is very likely to reach that level in the future, and my Jiang family will naturally provide him with the greatest assistance."

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Chen only bought the first five levels of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. Buy the last four levels for him as well. Also, prepare a set of SS-level combat suit, an SS-level battle sword, and twelve SS-level throwing knives. Give him a surprise when he comes back."

"Yes."

Jiang Yi couldn't help but tremble. The total value of these items was one or two hundred billion, which was a huge expense even for the Jiang family.

However, since the patriarch of the Jiang family had already given the order, he naturally complied.

Furthermore, his younger brother is the one who benefits, which he is also very happy to see.
