Chapter 102 Vajra Demon Ape Essence Blood! The Fifth Level of the Ninefold Body Tempering Technique!

"I need credits?"

Chu Han's brows furrowed slightly.

He only had 10,050 credits on him; he didn't know if that would be enough to exchange for essence blood that satisfied him.

"Dean Zhou, if I don't have enough credits, can I use federal currency instead?"

He thought for a moment and asked.

Zhou Tong laughed loudly upon hearing this. "Although the school doesn't forbid private credit transactions, such things aren't allowed under my nose as the Vice Dean."

"However, don't be discouraged. Our academy has a debt system that allows you to owe some credits first, provided you pay them back on time."

"A Genius like you can owe up to 50% of an item's value in credits."

"If the item you're exchanging for is worth 100 credits, you can pay 50 first and owe the remaining 50."

Hearing Zhou Tong's explanation, Chu Han's expression softened considerably.

He hadn't expected the Body Tempering Academy to be so accommodating.

He opened the item exchange list and selected the Exotic Beast Essence Blood category.

Immediately, a long list of Exotic Beast essence blood with various values appeared.

4th-Rank Earth Tyrant Bear Essence Blood: 500 credits.

5th-Rank Demon-Patterned Giant Python Essence Blood: 2,000 credits.

6th-Rank Golden-Horned White Lion Essence Blood: 9,000 credits.

7th-Rank Ancient Savage Bull Essence Blood: 15,000 credits.

7th-Rank Vajra Demon Ape Essence Blood: 20,000 credits.

8th-Rank Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Essence Blood: 100,000 credits... Cultivating the Beast God Transformation involves drawing Exotic Beast essence blood into the body to strengthen oneself.

The process of Fusion with Exotic Beast essence blood is incredibly painful, and the Cultivation process comes with immense risks.

The rejection between one's own cells and the Exotic Beast essence blood is enough to cause a practitioner to die instantly.

Furthermore, the residual Exotic Beast will within the essence blood can affect the practitioner's spirit, making them violent and bloodthirsty.

However, in contrast to the great risks, the benefits gained from mastering each transformation are unparalleled.

It is enough to raise a practitioner's strength by a massive level.

And the stronger the fused Exotic Beast essence blood, the higher the rewards upon successful Cultivation.

At the same time, the practitioner also gains some characteristics of the Exotic Beast the essence blood belonged to.

Therefore, the choice of Exotic Beast essence blood is of paramount importance when practicing the Beast God Transformation.

If the chosen essence blood is too weak, the results after Cultivation will be very poor.

If it is too strong, the various risks during Cultivation will be magnified, and failed Cultivation would be the least of one's worries.

"Chu Han, I suggest you choose one of the 6th-Rank Exotic Beast essence bloods."

At this moment, Zhou Tong offered his suggestion.

"Why?" Chu Han asked, puzzled.

"A 7th-Rank Exotic Beast is equivalent to a human Grandmaster and possesses powerful Mental Energy. The residual will within its essence blood is even more violent and difficult to suppress. If you haven't practiced in the aspect of Mental Energy, absorbing 7th-Rank Exotic Beast essence blood is no different from suicide," Zhou Tong explained.

"So that's how it is."

Chu Han understood Zhou Tong's concerns.

However, a mere issue of Mental Energy wasn't enough to stop his choice.

"Dean Zhou, I still choose the 7th-Rank Vajra Demon Ape essence blood."

Chu Han stated his choice.

"Nonsense! No matter how strong your physical body is, you must consider the mental pressure. You... your Mental Energy is actually this powerful!"

Zhou Tong's face, which was originally tinged with anger, was now filled with shock.

To get Zhou Tong to agree, Chu Han released his Mental Energy.

After the Mental Energy clash with the Bai Family Grandmaster, his Mental Energy strength was already comparable to an Elementary Grandmaster.

"A freak! A total freak!"

Zhou Tong marveled, shaking his head repeatedly.

"I didn't expect that not only have you achieved extraordinary things on the path of body forging, but you've even cultivated your Mental Energy to such a Realm!"

"In that case, I won't oppose your choice."

"But you mustn't be careless. The Vajra Demon Ape is a 7th-Rank Exotic Beast, after all. You must be fully prepared before you Cultivate!"

Zhou Tong still urged him.

"Thank you, Dean Zhou. I promise I'll be fine."

Chu Han said with a smile.

Then, he spent 10,000 credits and took on a debt of 10,000 credits to purchase this portion of Vajra Demon Ape essence blood.

A debt notification for 10,000 credits immediately appeared on his communicator, with a repayment deadline of one month.

The remaining credits on him were now just like any ordinary student's—only 50 points.

However, he didn't mind; he viewed these credits as an investment in himself.

Once he mastered the first transformation of the Beast God Transformation, the boost in his strength would allow him to earn back the credits even faster.

Afterward, Chu Han received a porcelain bottle containing the Vajra Demon Ape essence blood.

After putting away the bottle, he bid farewell to Zhou Tong and left the Body Tempering Academy.

Upon returning to his dormitory, he turned off his communicator and began his secluded meditation.

Chu Han went into the Cultivation Chamber on the third floor of the dormitory, took off his shirt, and sat cross-legged.

Then, he poured all the Vajra Demon Ape essence blood from the porcelain bottle onto his body.

He immediately began to circulate it according to the Beast God Transformation's Mind-Cultivation Technique.

The essence blood on the surface of his skin quickly seeped in, entering his heart.

"Thump!"

A violent throb came from his heart, the loud sound echoing throughout the Cultivation Chamber.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

His heart rate then accelerated, the beating becoming more and more intense.

The blood throughout his entire body seemed to burn and boil at this moment, his Qi and blood surging wildly.

What followed was terrifying heat and intense pain radiating from every single cell.

This pain once again broke the limits of the pain Chu Han had endured, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He collapsed to the floor like a cooked prawn, the searing pain nearly tearing his spirit apart.

Even so, he did not give up on circulating the Beast God Transformation's Cultivation Technique.

Drawing the Exotic Beast essence blood into the body was only the first step; next was the process of the body's Fusion with the essence blood.

This process was painful and long.

He needed his cells to completely absorb and fuse with the energy within the Vajra Demon Ape essence blood.

He had to continuously expel Impurities from his body to allow his cells to evolve.

Time passed bit by bit. A day went by, but the essence blood had only been partially fused.

The speed of Fusion was much slower than Chu Han had imagined.

The main reason was that the energy contained in the Vajra Demon Ape essence blood was too terrifying and violent.

Even for Chu Han, completely taming and absorbing it was no easy task.

But during this day, he wasn't without gains.

First, his pain tolerance had increased, and second, he had completely mastered the circulation methods of the Beast God Transformation, reaching a Realm of doing as he pleased.

Without needing to consciously circulate the Mind-Cultivation Technique, his body could Cultivate automatically.

This increased the speed at which he absorbed the essence blood.

However, Chu Han still wasn't satisfied with this speed.

On the second day of Fusion, while circulating the Beast God Transformation technique, Chu Han also began practicing the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art.

Unexpectedly, it produced miraculous results.

The Nine Heavens Body Forging Art truly lived up to its name as a universal technique; whenever Chu Han encountered a difficulty, it could lend a helping hand.

With the support of the 4th Layer of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art, Chu Han's speed in fusing the Vajra Demon Ape essence blood increased significantly.

At this rate, he would need another 10 days to completely fuse the demon ape essence blood.

"Still too slow!"

However, Chu Han was still not satisfied with this Fusion speed.

Thus, he began to attempt the Cultivation of the 5th Layer of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art.

With the support of the massive energy from the demon ape essence blood, there would be no problem at all with the 5th Layer's Cultivation.

He immediately began to practice according to the postures of the 5th Layer, while not forgetting to keep the Beast God Transformation circulating within his body.

It was truly a feat of multitasking.

And as the postures of the 5th Layer were completed and transitioned...

Chu Han discovered that the speed at which his body absorbed the Exotic Beast essence blood had indeed received a massive boost.

When the 5th Layer's postures completed one cycle, the Fusion speed increased by more than threefold.

Under the dual tempering of the demon ape essence blood and the 5th Layer of the body forging art, the cells in his body were also becoming crazily stronger and evolving.

After another 3 days, Chu Han successfully fused all of the demon ape essence blood into his body.

At the same time, his body had completely adapted to the intensity of the 5th Layer of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art.

Every single cell seemed to have undergone countless Rebirths.

Each Rebirth allowed Chu Han's physical strength to achieve a qualitative leap.

However, the Cultivation of the Beast God Transformation was far from over.

The Beast God Transformation required stimulating the essence blood energy within the body and then applying it to oneself.

When actually using the Beast God Transformation, the user would undergo a transformation, and even their physical appearance might change.

And stimulating the essence blood energy within the body was the next difficult point in Cultivation.

Among these, the most difficult part was how to tame the residual Exotic Beast will within the essence blood energy.
