Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

The two-horned creature pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The Dragon Body and the Overlord Body are rather special; these two realms are one level higher and one level lower."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

"For example, the first-order Dragon Body Realm is slightly stronger than the second-order Vajra Realm and about the same as the third-order Transcendent Realm."

"And the first-tier Overlord Body Realm is equivalent to the second-tier Dragon Body Realm and the third-tier Vajra Realm," the two-horned creature explained in detail.

"That's amazing?" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise.

A first-tier Overlord Body is equivalent to the strength of a third-tier Vajra Realm expert.

This already falls between two levels, placing it in the middle.

"Of course! In our region, among billions of living beings, not a single one has been able to cultivate the Overlord Body. How could they not be powerful?"

The two-horned creature's eyes were filled with longing as it spoke softly, "The five realms of physique are like the talent ranks of gifted individuals. Each advancement in a realm represents a qualitative change. Evolution ranks, on the other hand, are merely quantitative changes, so the difference between them is naturally significant."

Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this.

indeed.

The idea that a first-tier Overlord Body Realm cultivator can rival a third-tier Vajra Realm cultivator sounds absurd, but it's not hard to understand.

For example, someone whose evolution level is only Tier 1, but whose talent level has evolved to SSS, can unleash the power of their talent that is stronger than that of a Tier 3 A-level evolver.

The same principle applies.

"After all you've said, is it really possible for anyone to cultivate a superhuman body? You're not just making this up, are you?"

Lin Yu cast a suspicious glance at the two-horned creature.

"I'm not making this up. Within that clan that specializes in physical techniques, as well as the Dragon and Phoenix clans, there are people who have cultivated the Overlord Body."

When questioned, the two-horned creature immediately began to defend itself.

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yu remained silent for a moment.

This information seemed to open the door to a new world for him.

It seems there are many paths to evolution, not just the path of talent evolution.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Then what are the Eight Gates of the Human Body?"

Lin Yu remembered that the two-horned creature in front of him seemed to have used the third gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Life, which had unleashed an extremely powerful aura.

"The Eight Gates of the Human Body are a unique technique for cultivating physical strength."

"The eight gates are the Opening Gate, Resting Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Blocking Gate, View Gate, Shock Gate, and Death Gate. These eight gates are located in various important parts of the body. Once opened, they can release terrifying potential energy and form Qi."

"gas?"

"That's right. For example, a gifted person needs to consume magic power to use their talent. A physical cultivator needs [Qi] to use their physical techniques. The more gates you open, the stronger your Qi becomes, and the greater the power of your physical techniques."

Lin Yu's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.

Therefore, it seems that evolved beings without awakened talents are not entirely useless.

They may lack natural talent, but they can focus on cultivating physical skills and unlocking the Eight Gates. Once they reach an extremely high level, they too can become supreme powerhouses.

"Do the gifted individuals over there also open the Eight Gates?"

"Yes, but those with innate talents already possess powerful abilities, so they naturally focus on advancing their talents. Physical skills are only used as an auxiliary tool, and their purpose is simply to fully unleash the power of their talents."

The two-horned creature shook its head: "No gifted individual would be foolish enough to specialize in physical combat."

At this point, he looked at Lin Yu and said, "You have a fire-type talent, right? You should understand that to advance your talent, you need to spend a lot of time studying and comprehending the essence of fire in order to break through the barriers and advance continuously."

"This process also takes a lot of time, and it gets harder as you go on. So you can only choose one: talent advancement or physical training. Trying to train both at the same time will only result in failing at both."

Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

Indeed, a person's time and energy are limited.

If you want everything, the result will be that you can't grasp anything.

but--

This only applies to ordinary people.

For me, things are much simpler.

"Others might find it difficult to pursue two evolutionary paths simultaneously, but I possess the Devouring Talent, so advancing my flames isn't difficult and won't take up too much of my time. I can use that extra time to cultivate my physical skills, isn't that enough?"

The thought that popped into Lin Yu's mind grew increasingly intense.

He made his decision.

You must specialize in physical techniques and master the Eight Gates.

Even if he uses his talent and runs out of magic power, he can still use his Qi to perform physical techniques. Once his Qi is almost depleted, his magic power will be mostly restored.

I rely on!

Thinking about it this way, it's like turning into a perpetual motion machine.

"Old Niu, tell me quickly, how do I train my body?" Lin Yu asked, his breathing becoming rapid.

"What and how to train?"

The two-horned creature was momentarily stunned.

After a moment, he realized and said, "Body tempering usually involves carrying heavy loads, taking beatings, and doing the same movements day after day. If you have rare and precious materials, you can use them to assist your cultivation."

"For example, when I used to practice, I would wear all kinds of high-density weighted equipment on my body and limbs, and I would run and practice special skills every day."

Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Is it really that hard?

That sounds like something a hermit would do.

"Isn't there any cultivation techniques or anything like that?" Lin Yu asked, still unwilling to give up.

"Oh, you mean breathing techniques?" The two-horned creature was taken aback, then seemed to understand.

"Yes, yes! That's pretty much the idea." Lin Yu nodded.

"No!"

To everyone's surprise, the two-horned creature spoke directly.

Lin Yu's face darkened instantly, and a malicious look appeared in his eyes.

"Human expert, don't be anxious, listen to me. Breathing techniques for cultivating the body certainly exist, but they are all controlled by those powerful clans, and I've never used them myself."

The two-horned creature quickly explained when it saw Lin Yu's expression was off.

"Tell me about breathing techniques."

Lin Yu frowned.

"There are no shortcuts to cultivating physical skills. At most, you can use breathing techniques and rare and precious materials. The most important thing is to persevere in your cultivation."

The two-horned creature breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Breathing techniques are a breathing rhythm researched by the strongest beings, an optimal way to circulate [qi]. Using breathing techniques in conjunction with cultivation can greatly accelerate the speed of physical training."

"So, breathing techniques only play a supporting role?"

"Indeed."

Where can I get breathing techniques?

"Finding those young masters from powerful families would work."

The two-horned creature's eyes darted around, and it urged, "Especially those top-ranked clans, their breathing techniques are all very powerful."

"Alright, you can go now."

Lin Yu waved his hand, indicating that he had a pretty good understanding of the situation.

As for other more secretive information, he wanted to know, but a mysterious force was preventing him from doing so, so he had to give up.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, the two-horned creature's eyes lit up; it was finally going to get rid of this human.

He needs to find a place as soon as possible to regrow his arms.

next moment.

The two-horned creature turned and ran.

only--

He had only run a hundred meters when his entire body exploded, turning into a bloody mist, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

"This is?"

Lin Yu's pupils contracted sharply.

He saw it clearly and didn't sense anyone making a move. Yet the other person was inexplicably blown up.

What's going on?

Could it be that mysterious force again?
