Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 40: He's really turned himself into a "bucket"!

Beibei nodded; he had considered these things.

In his and Elder Song's soul-guiding storage rings, there were numerous rare and precious materials for replenishing qi and blood, almost emptying Shrek Academy's entire inventory.

Seeing that he understood, Du Bu Si continued, "My guidance to you is divided into four stages, each lasting one hundred and sixty days, for a total of one and a half years, or six hundred and forty days."

"The first stage is cultivation in the Great Abyss, which must be continued every day until the innate secret method is mastered."

"For the remaining three stages, I will take you to other places to cultivate until you reach the minor success of the innate secret method."

His voice was calm, as if it had been forged over 640 days, nothing more than an ordinary matter, just a small thing.

"Okay!" Although her lips twitched, Beibei's response was full of determination.

After saying goodbye to the poison that would never die, Beibei rushed out of the Secret Cultivation Department, because his stomach was already protesting madly.

As he watched Beibei's figure grow smaller and smaller, Du Busi's eyes gradually revealed envy.

"Moun is lucky!"

"With such talent in cultivating innate secret techniques, why isn't it a Body Martial Soul? Why couldn't it be born into my Body Sect?"

"……snort!"

"Old Jin needs to teach that kid Long Aotian a lesson. He even fused with the ten-thousand-year-old torso bone that Shrek Academy sent him."

"If he fails to cultivate the innate secret method a second time, he'll have to carry a mountain of stones around the chasm for at least two years."

... Noumenon Sect, canteen.

The disciples' cultivation is similar to physical cultivation, so naturally everyone has a huge appetite.

Therefore, they basically don't use bowls to eat, but rather basins.

Otherwise, the bowls will be piled up high, making them difficult to clean and unsightly.

Although using a basin isn't exactly elegant, at least it preserves a semblance of face.

But Beibei's arrival shattered the last shred of decorum, and the basins were piled up really high!

Feeling the watchful eyes of several people, he was considering whether to pack the leftovers to take home and eat when the kind-looking head chef of the cafeteria walked over carrying a bucket and smiled:

"The sect leader specifically instructed that one bucket be used every day. The ingredients are all top-grade rare and precious materials for internal consumption. They will be absorbed by the body quickly and will not cause bloating."

Suddenly, even more eyes were cast his way.

Beibei: "..."

Thank you so much!

When cultivating oneself, one becomes a "water bucket"; when eating, one becomes a "rice bucket".

...mmp

"Aotian, look! He can eat so much!"

Long Aotian, who was engrossed in shoveling rice into his mouth, replied nonchalantly, "What's so interesting about that?"

"Among us disciples of the Body Sect, who isn't a big eater if we're out there?"

However, upon hearing the next sentence, he suddenly looked up.

"That person looks like Bebe, who came from Shrek Academy to study at our Body Sect."

"Um?!"

Squinting, I peered through the crowd and saw Beibei shoveling rice into her mouth.

I stared silently for two seconds, then lowered my head and finished the last bite of my food. Although my stomach was bloated, I still walked to the cafeteria window.

"Another pot, please!"

From then on, Beibei's schedule was packed every day.

In order to advance the cultivation of the innate secret technique to the beginner level as quickly as possible, Beibei would spend almost all of the daytime cultivating in the dark and sunless abyss.

Excluding the time spent eating, there are three hours in the evening for soul power cultivation.

Beibei's nighttime rest time was even more severely divided into two halves: the first half of the night was spent meditating to recover from the fatigue in her meridians caused by cultivating her soul power, and the second half of the night was spent in deep sleep to recover from the physical fatigue and energy depletion caused by cultivating innate secret techniques.

One hundred and twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.

These days, he pushes himself to exhaustion every day, reaching his limit, and then, with the help of Du Bu Si, he cultivates the innate secret techniques.

Today, while Da Yuan was cultivating, Du Busi discovered that Bei Bei had already mastered the innate secret technique!

The golden runes were solid and radiant, a sign of entering the innate esoteric arts.

Deep within his calm yet weathered eyes lay a profound sense of admiration.

He originally thought that Beibei would formally begin learning the innate secret method when the first stage of 160 days was nearing its end.

Unexpectedly, it happened a full forty days ahead of schedule.

However, he had no intention of bringing forward the training plan for the last three stages.

After all, he had witnessed firsthand the intensity of Beibei's training.

After more than a hundred days of cultivation, my whole body felt like a taut string on a musical instrument; if it were stretched any tighter, it might break.

Even if we don't talk about balancing work and rest, we still need to maintain a proper balance between work and rest.

Therefore, when Beibei mentioned entering the last three stages of cultivation, Du Busi gave a pre-prepared explanation.

"For the remaining forty days, you can engage in simple physical combat with the disciples of the sect to familiarize yourself with the innate secret techniques for beginners."

After stating the first explanation, a second explanation was immediately given:

"Long Aotian has finished recovering from the aftereffects of his first failed attempt to cultivate the innate secret technique."

"I'm planning to combine the Innate Secret Technique and the Jade Body Secret Technique according to my cultivation method to see if he can cultivate them."

"Perhaps I'll need your advice in the next few days."

After listening to his explanation, Beibei seemed to understand what he meant.

"good!"

The claim that the poison wouldn't kill him wasn't entirely false; it was indeed beneficial to Beibei, and he himself did have some issues.

Aside from Bei Bei, who is certain to leave the Body Sect, the only newcomer that Du Busi would even slightly consider is Long Aotian.

Even if he can break through to the Limit Douluo level, he won't live past the three-hundred-year limit. Now he must start training a successor.

If Long Aotian could cultivate the innate secret technique, even if he couldn't achieve the forbidden realm of flawless golden body, it would still be enough to inherit the seed of his original body.

In the days that followed, Beibei had a rare bit of free time.

Of course, it's just a little bit of free time.

Instead of spending every second of the day practicing the innate secret techniques, they engaged in close combat with the disciples of the Body Sect.

Physical clashes and esoteric practices are compulsory courses in the Ontology school.

At the Battle Arena plaza, sect disciples came and went.

On this day, after winning two matches, Beibei faced a formidable opponent, or rather... an old rival.

It was Jin Zhan, the descendant of the Golden Body Douluo who had fought fiercely with him before.

After breaking through level 50, I had just emerged from seclusion when I heard Beibei battling in the Soul Arena.

He immediately put the matter of hunting spirit rings out of his mind and rushed over to fight Beibei.

However, this physical confrontation greatly shocked Jin Zhan.

Just over a hundred days ago, his opponent's physical combat strength was weaker than his own, but this time, the fight was evenly matched, and his only advantage was eliminated!

It should be noted that he has been immersed in the secret methods of the Golden Body for many years, and his level is at the peak of the beginner stage, not far from achieving minor success.

Is the innate secret method really that powerful?!

However, he's only just started out, yet he's already on par with him!

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, the referee suddenly stopped the battle.
