Chapter 85: Heaven-defying! Scared the kids into peeing!

"Well, it actually still brings a bug to the realm."

After continuously obtaining three returns from Murong Wan, Lu Xun was somewhat speechless.

Now he has stopped at the thirty-third layer of Qi Sea and remains unmoving.

It's fine that he's not moving in the Qi Sea realm, but the system also didn't let him break through to the Third Realm.

The system's explanation is that, given Lu Xun's current physique, the thirty-third layer of Qi Sea has already reached its limit; going further would actually cause harm to his body.

In his dantian now, the Qi Sea is indeed abnormally vast; if it continues to expand, it is very likely to burst his dantian.

As for not breaking through to the Third Realm, it's because the Martial Cultivation realm has some peculiarities; even if the Second Realm's return could break through to the Third Realm, the effect of awakening Martial Dao divine abilities would not be entirely satisfactory.

So the system stored the returns, to be returned all at once when Murong Wan breaks through to the Third Realm.

At this rate, it'll be soon.

"System, if you keep doing this, don't blame me for exploiting a bug."

Lu Xun thus started exploiting a bug.

Anyway, his cultivation won't break through the thirty-third layer of Qi Sea, so Lu Xun has been frantically concocting pills these days.

His Creation Elixir Vein is extraordinarily potent; if he refines too many Saint-grade elixirs, his cultivation will rise, and once that causes a realm breakthrough, it amounts to self‑training.

This forces Lu Xun to carefully control the degree each time he concocts pills.

Now that he's at the limit, Lu Xun happily started exploiting a bug.

【Please, host, do not over‑concoct pills; the elixir vein belongs to the spirit vein, and the host's pill‑concocting only increases Immortal Dao cultivation. If you continue to increase it, you may break through to the Third Realm.】

Lu Xun was happily exploiting the bug when the system popped up a prompt.

What?

"System, do you mean my Immortal Dao cultivation can now directly break through to the Third Realm?"

After some thought, Lu Xun understood it himself.

Immortal Dao and Martial Dao are different.

Take Martial Dao: the Second, Third, and Fourth Realms each cultivate completely different things.

The Second Realm mainly concerns True Qi and the Qi Sea; the Third Realm concerns Secret Apertures; the Fourth Realm concerns True Intent.

Therefore, the Second Realm's return in Martial Dao makes it difficult to directly let Lu Xun break through to the Third Realm.

Immortal Dao, however, is different.

In the early realms of Immortal Dao, the most important thing is Spiritual Power.

Spiritual Power is the foundation of Immortal Cultivation; it remains important in the later realms, only with the addition of the Primordial Spirit.

So, after Martial Cultivation reaches the limit of the thirty‑third layer of Qi Sea, even if another return occurs, the system merely stores it and does not let Lu Xun break through.

Because the aftermath of breaking through would be unfavorable.

But if Immortal Dao reaches its limit and then another return occurs, it can actually break through.

"So, whether it's Chu Youqing or Bai Ling, another return will let my Immortal Dao cultivation break through to the Third Realm!"

Lu Xun's spirits were lifted.

Now, before the secret realm examination, Lu Xun should be able to break through to the Third Realm in both Immortal Dao and Martial Dao.

【Murong Wan breaks through to the fourteenth layer of Qi Sea; you gain thirty times what Murong Wan harvested.】

"Here it comes again!"

Two days later, Murong Wan broke through another layer.

Although this speed doesn't match Lu Xun's, it is still astonishingly fast.

"Is this the Exquisite Treasure Body?"

Lu Xun looked up a lot of materials and finally realized that this should be an heaven‑defying ability innate to the Exquisite Treasure Body.

Exquisite Nine Turns.

This ability grants only nine chances, one per realm.

"First, let's take the monthly exam."

The next day, the final monthly exam of the semester arrived.

After this monthly exam, there are about twenty days left until the final secret realm examination.

In recent monthly exams, Lu Xun has kept the display of his cultivation to one layer per month, occasionally two layers.

Right now, he has both his Immortal Dao and Martial Dao cultivation controlled at ten layers.

That way, breaking through to the Third Realm later will be a matter of course.

"Brother Xun!"

At the testing center, Lu Xun met Li Bu Fan.

Lu Xun saw that this kid's strength had risen quickly, reaching the fourth layer of Qi Sea.

Li Bu Fan's talent is actually not bad; considering he was deliberately raised in poverty, it's impressive he could achieve this.

Looking at this, by the end of freshman year Li Bu Fan should reach the seventh layer of Qi Sea, possibly even the eighth.

Compared to him, He Xiao of the He family is practically useless—it took him a whole year to reach the fourth layer of Qi Sea.

"Brother Xun, lately everyone's been fighting on the dueling platform; you should go show off a bit later so they can see how formidable you are as the top freshman."

Li Bu Fan encouraged him cheerfully.

Dueling platform?

Lu Xun asked and then understood.

It turns out that, in this final month, the freshmen think their cultivation progress won't be significant, so they'd rather train martial skills and combat techniques to gain battle experience.

So many students have come out to spar with others every day.

The number of students on the dueling platform also grew, with enthusiasts even organizing a dueling tournament and securing sponsorship from outside.

Hiss!

Both are already at tenth layer? Damn, how is this cultivated?

Defying heaven!

You guys say, Lu Xun won't break through to the Third Realm in just one semester, right?

Stay calm, there are already a bunch of three-realm cultivators defeated by Lu Xun's hands; he's just breaking through now, and I'm completely unfazed.

A few minutes later, the testing center echoed with many exclamations.

Although Lu Xun had been controlling the pace of his cultivation display these past few months, when seeing him this time simultaneously test at the second realm's tenth layer, many students were still shocked.

In the past, the testing center actually didn't have this many students.

Now, the students have all come out to be active, and the campus of Beidou University has become lively again.

After finishing the monthly exam, Lu Xun and Li BuFan headed to Beidou Square together, wanting to see what the arena matches were like.

How come there are so many arenas?

After arriving, Lu Xun found that the arenas on Beidou Square were not just numerous.

They've gotten a lot of sponsorship from outside, Brother Xun, go try that arena; it's sponsored by Jia Clan Dan Medicine, the rules are simple: each successful defense doubles the prize, and whoever defeats him in between can get his current prize.

Li BuFan pointed to the largest arena.

The arena sponsored by Jia Clan Dan Medicine?

Lu Xun took a look, and sure enough, the arena bore the flag of Jia Clan Group.

Come on, let's go take a look.

Lu Xun became a bit interested.

According to this arena's rules, if someone keeps monopolizing the arena, wouldn't Jia Clan Group go bankrupt?

Brother Xun, don't think about it; although this arena is aimed at freshmen, every five matches it lifts the restriction once, allowing upperclassmen to step onto the arena, and if the defense fails then, the prize resets to zero.

Li BuFan said.

So that's how it is; Jia Clan Group isn't small-minded.

Boom!

Just as the two walked up to the arena, a figure was hit and flew off, falling from the arena.

Anyone else?

On the arena, an arrogant voice sounded.

Tch, just defending three times and you're this arrogant.

It's just Qi Sea Third Layer, what's the big deal?

The students were indignant.

The student on the arena was named Lu Fei, at Qi Sea Third Layer, possessing the Heaven Earth Meridian Yin Sha Lei Ming Meridian, and had formidable combat power.

The students below, though indignant, nobody dared to go up.

Me.

At that moment, a voice sounded.

The speaker was none other than Lu Xun.

He originally didn't intend to join the fun, but Jia Clan Group came up with this arena rule, and he instead wanted to see whether Jia Clan Group would play dirty later.

Lu Xun!

Wow, it's Lu Xun, he's doomed now!

Many students turned their heads and exclaimed.

What, Lu Xun is coming!! How am I so unlucky!

On the arena, Lu Fei, who had been extremely arrogant just moments ago, saw Lu Xun, his legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand.

Hahaha, it's really my Brother Xun, scaring the kids into peeing.

666~

The students laughed.
