Chapter 23: Reading the Book Once, the Flesh Automatically Surges (6/9)

Xu Chen felt that this time, during the Academy Competition, surely no one could interfere with him anymore.

Li Ruoling, that little bitch, couldn't, and neither could Shangguan Luoyun.

After all, once he stepped onto the stage, as long as he wanted to lose, he would definitely lose.

Right? It's impossible to say he could win without moving a muscle; there's no such logic.

So this major plot point was extremely stable; there absolutely could be no mistakes.

"However, before the Academy Competition, there will be another major plot point: a 'Mission Trial'."

"At that time, I remember I'll still encounter quite a few female leads, all sorts of witches and demons."

"Ye Xuan will win the favor of those female leads and obtain various precious Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures."

"And at that time, I will be beaten badly, fail the mission, and return in a wretched state."

Xu Chen said, pinching his chin.

For this kind of failure plot, he had long been accustomed to it.

His heart held no waves either; after all, it was just completing a system mission.

"Disciple, first look at this secret manual; it is my life's work."

"You read it for a few days; when you have questions after a few days, I will teach you."

At this moment, Handi came before Xu Chen and handed him an ancient book, the "Body Refining Heavenly Spirit Sutra".

Faint Spiritual Qi coiled around it, and an ancient aura condensed.

Handi wanted to see what degree Xu Chen could achieve on his own.

Whatever was lacking later, he would personally teach.

Xu Chen nodded; this secret manual belonged to the private sphere.

In the previous ninety-nine lives, he truly had never seen it.

He read word by word and discovered that this "Body Refining Heavenly Spirit Sutra" indeed condensed the essence of body refining.

Although it only stopped at the knowledge of the Sixth and Seventh Grades, for those below the Sixth Grade, it was the most perfect and flawless guidebook.

For some body refining methods, Xu Chen understood them thoroughly with just one glance and learned them on the spot.

"Voom!"

In an instant, faint golden light surged within Xu Chen's body; his flesh contracted and tightened, strengthening once more.

A little black filth automatically expelled from his body, making his physique even more ethereal and solid.

His flesh vibrated; the air automatically exploded, and a small whirlwind curled up slightly.

However, Xu Chen was immersed in the world of the book, so he had not yet noticed these changes in the surroundings for the moment.

About three hours later, Xu Chen completely finished reading the book.

When he closed the book, Xu Chen found that his entire body was already black and sticky, covered in filth.

"Whoa, what's the situation?"

Xu Chen was slightly confused.

He just read a book, yet it could expel impurities?

This master's book is quite awesome!

In fact, Xu Chen still underestimated his own ability.

He possessed the knowledge of ninety-nine lives; regarding the path of body refining, no matter the grade, he knew it all.

Plus, his villain body's innate talent was already supreme; otherwise, how could he stay ahead of the protagonist everywhere?

During these three hours of reading, he had already automatically comprehended the key points in the book, and his body instinctively began to circulate.

The current Xu Chen's flesh was at least comparable to a Fourth Grade Mid Stage powerhouse; he just didn't know it yet.

A Fourth Grade Early Stage fist was nothing at all before Xu Chen.

Moreover, as time passed, this flesh would gradually strengthen.
