Hearing what Zhu Gun said, Chi Sung was angry but he knew that the winner has the right to look down on the loser.
But what he said about the five monsters were right.
They were no longer interested in battling for a higher rank, they all know that the people above them can no longer be moved.
Chi Sung stood up and left the arena, following behind was Zhu Gun as he went to his room.
Seeing Zhu Gun and Chi Sung leaving, discussions were heard as the students talked about the battle.
Thinking about what Zhu Gun said about the five monsters, the students were so emotional that some of them kowtowed towards the top rooms of the xiantian realm building.
The five monsters of Sword Hall, who shocked the whole academy during the xiantian realm annual competition.
Due to the five of them, sword hall could cease five positions in the top ten(10) for the past two years.
It was said that if Xu Chan, the no. 1 xiantian realm cultivator of the sword hall, does not breakthrough this year, he would surely get the first position in the xiantian realm annual competition this year.
Hearing all these, Tu Feng began sweating. Thinking about it, he said, "how can Lu Jin face any of the five monsters, I need to inform him about was happened today, so he can prepare for the future."
Four days later, it has been eleven days since Lu Jin entered close door cultivation, in order to breakthrough to the xiantian realm.
He predicted his breakthrough will come in nine days, but he never expected that the seal on his dantian was going to be this difficult to break.
Changing from the All Devouring Energy technique to the Lighting Sword technique, Lu Jin was getting better at alternating between both techniques.
Crack!....
The seal on the dantian finally cracked, the sword qi from the Lighting Sword technique flowed inside as the circumference of the dantian increase to 70mm in radius, having a spherical shape.
As more sword qi entered, the inside space of the dantian increased rapidly, after getting to 140 square feet, it speed of increase reduced, finally reaching 165 square feet it stopped.
Seeing that he has reached the limited size of dantian for the Lighting Sword technique, Lu Jin was about to stop his technique when all of a sudden, his body automatically absorb the energy qi in the surrounding, converting it into sword qi and sending it to his dantian.
The limited size for a dantian that is stated by the Lighting Sword technique which was 165 square feet, was surpassed as the dantian grew until it reached the limited size of a xiantian realm dantian, which is 180 square feet.
The remaining sword qi strengthen the circumference of the dantian and filled up the 1st section of the dantian, but it could not break the seal to the 2nd section.
Since the beginning of time in this Universe, the dantian has been proven to have nine(9) sections and each section represent the rank in a cultivation realm.
The amount of sword qi Lu Jin's body absorb could fill the rank one section, but could not breakthrough the seal to step into the rank two section.
Cultivation is defiling the Heaven and changing ones fate. There is always a price to pay for power, strength, wealths, eternal youth and immortality.
The Heavenly Dao has placed a seal on the dantian of every cultivator above the body tempering realm. Not being able to breakthrough the seal places a limit/stop to your cultivation journey.
Seeing the amount of space in his dantian, Lu Jin was shocked, it was 180 square feet.
He said, "my body assisted in creating such a perfect dantian, during the last minutes, it absorbed energy qi, converted it into sword qi and increased my dantian.
As he was going through his dantian, the next moment, Boom!!!
Lu Jin's consciousness shook as he closed his eyes to endure the splitting headache.
Ahhhhh!!!!!! Lu Jin cried as he rolled on the ground with his hands on his head.
After a few minutes, Lu Jin calmed down as he lied on the floor, after getting himself, Lu Jin sat up. Looking around, Lu Jin could see that nothing has changed, his senses were the same.
Checking inside his body, it was the same except for his consciousness, something was rotating in it.
Calling it through his thought, something that Lu Jin never believe happened.
Six rotating swords appeared behind Lu Jin and each of the swords has different shapes and exude different auras, with the only thing common, was the blood red light that was swirling around the swords.
I.....I HAVE A LIFE SPIRIT, I LU JIN FINALLY HAVE A LIFE SPIRIT! HAHAHAHAHA," Lu Jin shouted as he could not contain the joy he felt.
Although the problem of getting tired after breathing in energy qi for about two hours was solved after he learnt to control the opening and closing of his skin pores to absorb energy qi and to hide his cultivation realm.
Only if he activate his energy qi or a Martial King who personally check his cultivation realm, can he be seen through.
Still, it was known that not having a life spirit is a limit in the cultivation journey. The life spirit gives an aptitude towards a particular element.
It absorbs energy qi faster, purifies and converts energy qi better and it increases ones battle prowess.
Each of the spinning life spirit have a different element, it sizes and it's uses are different. It also represented the five ways of attack and the way of defence in the last sword.
Lu Jin tried performing the man and spirit harmonization, but figured that he could not do it, his control over his sword qi was not good enough.
"I should stabilize my rank, then open the storage ring to get my reward, before going to see how Tu Feng has been doing.
After two hours, Lu Jin brought out the ring, "I have never seen an energy stone, I wonder how it is."
Sending his energy qi into the ring, it entered the ring with no resistance, seeing this Lu Jin was surprised.
"Why would that senior say that I have to reach the xiantian realm before I can open the ring, after using my energy qi, it is said that, a blood from a body tempering realm cultivator could form a link with the ring and gain access to the ring," Lu Jin said, through his energy qi he could see the rewards in the ring, this is, seeing what was inside Lu Jin was shocked, it was a dantian formation pill.
"A dantian formation pill for body tempering realm cultivators, it helps in building a stronger dantian. It's a setup, but I don't think I have a problem with anyone from the sword hall."
"Is it Bu Nan, but I don't think even his uncle's influence will be able to reach the sword hall, but if it isn't Bu Nan, then who is targeting me," Lu Jin could not come up with any answer.
At the moment he opened the ring, at the third building in the sword hall, in the 4th room.
"My link with the storage ring has been broken," someone said bowing to a young man seated cross-legged on the mat.
"Was he in the body tempering realm when he broke the link?" the cross-legged young man said
"No, he opened it at the xiantian realm," he answered not intending to stand
"He is indeed a genius for breaking through in less than two weeks after entering the sword hall, but how could the sword master pick someone who doesn't have a life spirit or a perfect xiantian realm dantian, he will only bring disgrace to the sword hall," Duan Gu said he stood up
"Master's senior brother, senior brother Duan Hu would have been the perfect choice for the sword master," the bowing student said
"Looks like the kid sword master brought is really ambitious, he chose the All Devouring Energy technique, falling for my trap so easily. I don't know if the sword master was thinking properly when he chose that Lu Jin," Duan Gu said, sounding angry.
"Master should please calm down, even Senior Elder Duan, who is your father, would not be able to stop the disciplinary elder from punishing you for insulting the hall master," bowing student said.
"You can leave, let me see just how the FACE of sword hall will perform in this hall," Duan Gu said as he sat down cross-legged on the mat.
Lu Jin was really angry this time, it was not greed or revenge that lead to this, it was something worse, it was done to limit his progress in cultivation, to reduce the length he could climb in the journey of cultivation.
"I should be very careful in the sword hall and more careful outside the academy," Lu Jin said as he took out one foundation strengthening pill, eating the pill, Lu Jin could feel a sensation throughout his body, the pill dissolved as it flow through his bloodstream, tempering his bones, blood and tissues, then if flow through his meridians getting to his dantian, it strengthen the circumference of the dantian before losing it effects.
Even if I eat the remaining two, it won't really bring me any improvement, I should give it to Tu Feng," Lu Jin said, still angry at that senior brother that gave him the ring.
Taking out the energy stones, Lu Jin said, "no energy stone of the metal element, the origin energy stones are only 8, sword energy stones are 14, then the remaining 78 are of the other six elements. Someone wants to hinder my progress, the first cultivation technique I chose, the All Devouring Energy technique, was of metal element."
"I will put my revenge on hold now, the ability to do this is not something a normal disciple could do." Lu Jin said inaudibly, speaking to himself.
Although Lu Jin was just nine(9) years old, it is said that, train up a child in the way he should grow and when he grow he will not depart from it.
Lu Jin was trained by the ruthlessness of the outside world, taught by the hunger from poverty, counselled by the suffering of been weak and learnt survival from struggling.
In this world, strength is everything, the stronger your fist, the more respect and fear you receive.
If you are not personally strong, find a strong backing, a powerful force or an influential organization.
Never form an association with weak forces to face a stronger force, it will lead to destruction, for power comes from your cultivation realm.
If his life as a mortal was that tough, he could not imagine the brutality the weaklings in the cultivation world will have to suffer, because the mortal world is influenced by the cultivation world.
Lu Jin said, "expressing the cultivation journey in the form of a building; adaptation is the foundation, patience is the pillar, strength is the roof, courage, talent, opportunities, background, ruthlessness, killing, goals, dreams and determination makes up the walls of the building."
Taking an origin energy stone in his hand, Lu Jin crushed the stone into powder as he absorb the energy qi in the powder through his (six sword) life spirit.
Feeling the amount of energy qi that his life spirit could absorb at once, it was seven times greater than when he used his body.
"A cultivator without a life spirit can really not compare to a cultivator with life spirit in the xiantian realm," Lu Jin said, feeling excited about getting his life spirit when he just broke through to the xiantian realm.
He took a fire element energy stone, crushing it powder, he absorb the energy qi from the powder using his life spirit, but compared to when he absorbed the origin energy qi from the origin energy powder, only one sword spirit absorbed the fire element qi, it was the flaming sword.
The flaming sword is 120mm in widths and 5ft in length. Lu Jin could see how it absorbs only energy qi of the fire element.
"That means that each of the sword absorbs energy qi of only one element, let me see if they can absorb the sword qi in a sword energy stone," Lu Jin said, taking a sword energy stone in his hand, he crushed the energy stone to powder, absorbing the sword qi from the powder, it was even faster than absorbing the origin qi from the origin energy stone.
"It might be because the sword qi absorbed, doesn't go through the purification process, hence the speed," Lu Jin figured it out quite quickly.
"Time to visit Tu Feng, no one will notice me visiting him by this time of the night," Lu Jin said as he left his room, going to Tu Feng's room.
