Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"I finally did it!"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling exceptionally happy.

After a short rest, he couldn't wait to urge the skeleton back up the cliff.

Chapter 19 The Transmission of Bai Li (Part 1)

After a day of arduous travel, Wuxin finally returned to the top of the cliff.

However, the return trip took a little longer than the trip down.

Because of the accident he caused, a section of the road was blocked by a landslide.

It was thanks to his mastery of the power of the microcosm that he could easily leap over ten meters in one bound, rendering terrain obstacles meaningless to him; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to get up there.

At the edge of the cliff, Rang Ye, who was practicing his daily routine, spotted him and immediately came to greet him.

"I can't believe you actually succeeded!"

The girl looked around the skeleton in amazement.

Only half a month has passed, and unexpectedly, Wuxin has actually revived a skeleton and completed the Elder's test.

Especially since he didn't receive any guidance or help, and accomplished it entirely through his own understanding and effort.

This is absolutely incredible!

Wu Xin's return also caught the attention of another person. In a flash, Bai Li, dressed in white robes, appeared in front of him.

"Congratulations on passing the test!" Bai Li nodded in affirmation.

Although he was still not very fond of Wuxin, after hearing about Wuxin's attitude from Virgo Asmita, he finally let down his guard.

"Teacher, when can I begin my studies?" Wu Xin asked, bowing his head, and silently withdrew the power of his cosmos that was controlling the skeleton.

Instantly, the soul fire within the skull was extinguished, disintegrating into a pile of white bones that fell to the ground.

"No need to rush, we still have time!" Bai Li replied calmly.

"That being said, with the Holy War imminent, I also hope to quickly acquire enough power to help everyone share the burden!" Wu Xin said, suppressing his excitement.

Bai Li did not refuse the title of 'teacher', which means that the other party acknowledged their master-disciple relationship and had officially become Bai Li's disciple.

"It's good that you have such thoughts!"

Bai Li nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, you've just gotten back, so take a good rest today. We'll officially start teaching tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Wu Xin then dealt with the bones on the ground, and then retreated happily.

In fact, he had been thinking about the test while at the bottom of the cliff these past few days, and the environment was so good that he hadn't been able to get a proper rest.

Now that he has completed the test and returned to the stone tower, he can finally get a good night's sleep.

Wuxin slept for a full day and night.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed and full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible power.

However, after sleeping for a day and a night, his stomach began to rumble loudly.

"Looks like I need to fill my stomach before I can start studying!"

Left with no other option, he went to the kitchen.

Having already spent some time here, he was quite familiar with the environment inside the stone tower.

Before long, he had filled his stomach and went outside.

Seeing Rang Ye training not far away, he quickly walked up to him and asked, "Rang Ye, do you know where Teacher Bai Li is?"

Ye stopped, pointed to his right, and said, "The Grand Elder is meditating over there and instructed me to go find him after you wake up!"

Thank you!

After saying goodbye to Rang Ye, Wu Xin followed the other's directions and arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Bai Lizheng sat cross-legged, shirtless, facing the cold wind below the cliff, motionless like a stone statue.

Wu Xin didn't dare to disturb them and quietly stood behind them waiting.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Bai Li finally stopped meditating and turned around.

"Good patience, very good, very good!"

The old man nodded, quite satisfied, and said, "I was a little worried that you were so eager to learn new things that you might end up with nothing, but seeing your calm demeanor, I am very pleased!"

In fact, aside from his lack of faith in Athena, Hakurei was quite satisfied with his disciple.

Both in terms of talent and temperament, he is exceptional, a truly fine piece of raw jade that, with proper polishing, will surely be transformed into a rare treasure.

"Let me see what you've learned at the bottom of the cliff!" Bai Li said, putting on his clothes.

"Yes, teacher!"

Wu Xin responded and immediately ignited his microcosm, manifesting a corpse aura in his palm, like a coiled snake, constantly swirling around his hand.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Bai Li praised him again, saying earnestly, "All of my special moves are based on variations of corpse energy."

"Therefore, as my disciple, you must master the basic application of corpse energy and study it diligently."

As he spoke, he extended his right index finger, which also ignited its own inner universe, manifesting a silver glow at the fingertip.

Immediately afterwards, the silver light dispersed into several streams, transforming into silver currents that rapidly circled around Bai Li, like dancing dragons, each exuding a terrifying aura.

"Take a close look and see how your corpse energy differs from my energy flow!" the old man said, looking at Wuxin.

Wu Xin immediately closed his eyes and carefully used his senses to examine the streaks of silver light.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again and slowly said, "Teacher, these auras are purer than my corpse aura, and they have an extra peculiar element."

“Every time I examine it, I feel like my consciousness is being sucked in!”

"This must be the aura of accumulating corpses, right?"

That was a very powerful ultimate move that could directly strip away the enemy's soul. In a sense, it was an instant-death technique, and it was on a completely different level from the ordinary corpse energy he currently possessed.

"That's right, this is the Qi of Accumulated Corpses!"

Bai Li did not deny it and continued, "The accumulated corpse energy is actually the product of sublimating ordinary corpse energy."

"The putrid gases that come from the corpse are naturally hostile to living beings, and the resentment left by the deceased entangles their soul."

"By combining these two characteristics, we can use the power of this accumulated corpse energy to extract the enemy's soul from their body, or even shred it directly."

"Like this!"

As he spoke, the old man gently pointed, and the silver aura surrounding him changed direction, rushing directly towards Wuxin.

Before Wu Xin could react, several streams of silver energy had already entered his body, and then he felt an extremely powerful force binding his consciousness.

He suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself hovering in mid-air, surrounded by several streams of silver energy. Below him appeared a person who looked exactly like him, and directly opposite him stood Bai Li, who was controlling the accumulated corpse energy.

"That's...my body?"

He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was now a separate soul, having been separated from his body by the accumulated corpse energy.

"So this is what it feels like to have your soul ripped out?"

Looking at his illusory right hand, Wu Xin felt utterly astonished.

This feeling is truly amazing.

Chapter 20 The Transmission of the White Ritual (Part 2)

"Teacher, how can I transform my existing ordinary corpse energy into accumulated corpse energy?" Wu Xin asked earnestly.

The ordinary corpse energy he currently possesses is almost entirely harmless, far inferior to true accumulated corpse energy.

As Bai Li dragged Wu Xin's soul back into his body, he explained, "Ordinary corpse energy is just a product of the natural decay of a corpse."

"It is mixed with other things in the air, so it is very mixed and its effect is greatly weakened. In addition, the resentment of the dead is also weak and limited, so it is almost impossible to achieve the same effect with ordinary corpse energy."

"So, the key to transforming ordinary corpse energy into accumulated corpse energy lies in purification and enhancement?" Wu Xin asked tentatively.

At this moment, his soul had reunited with his body, and he had completely lost the special feeling of being a pure soul.

"That's right!"

Bai Li extinguished the glow at his fingertips, and the countless silver currents surrounding him disappeared. He continued, "Purify the corpse energy, remove the excess elements from it, and then strengthen the resentment of the dead with our own spiritual will. The accumulated corpse energy will then be sublimated!"

"This is also the first move I'm teaching you, 'Sekishiki: Meikai Ha'!"

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will remember it!" Wuxin quickly expressed his gratitude.

Bai Li continued, "This move, Netherworld Wave, is fundamental. It's not the most lethal, but it has endless uses."

"We can use this trick to open the underworld, send the enemy in to be killed, or send ourselves in to avoid danger. It is very convenient for both killing enemies and escaping."

"You must not underestimate it because it seems to lack lethality!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Wu Xin solemnly agreed.

"Next, the second move!" Bai Li spread his right hand out, and a pale white flame materialized.

"Teacher, isn't this a bit too hasty?" Wuxin scratched his head.

It was quite unexpected that the old man started teaching him the second move before he had even mastered the first one.

Bai Li didn't take it to heart and said, "Your talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, so it doesn't matter if I teach you more at once!"

"In addition, you have a very high level of comprehension and learn quickly. It would be too troublesome to teach you step by step!"

He could foresee that in just a few days, Wuxin would have a basic grasp of 'Accumulated Corpse Qi - Netherworld Wave' and would come to him to learn the second move.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher!" Wuxin thanked him again.

The old man held up the pale flame in his hand and patiently explained, "The fumes produced by the decomposition of a corpse contain a component called phosphorus."

"It is easily ignited, and it will spontaneously combust even if the ambient temperature is slightly higher."
