359: Chapter 359 Flawless Golden Body

[In those novels you knew well in your past life, the Protagonist Halo was often a domineering and illogical existence.]

[It allowed the Protagonist to turn misfortune into luck, find constant opportunities, and even ignore the Rules of the world.]

[However, in this world, that seemingly invincible 'Protagonist Halo' can actually be suppressed and harmonized by the vast and heavy national fortune of the Dragon Kingdom.]

[A deduction faintly forms in your heart: that power covering all Advanced supernatural phenomena likely has thousands of threads of connection with the Dragon Kingdom's official authorities.]

[It is like an invisible net that both constrains the spread of Advanced supernatural knowledge and quietly balances the world's surging undercurrents.]

[Even Ye Tian's sudden appearance at this point in time is very likely because that overarching power is gradually weakening and dissipating.]

["Looking at it this way, that power also suppressed many monsters and demons? Now that the power is gradually disappearing, all sorts of things are popping out?"]

[You ponder secretly, deciding to observe the aftermath in the shadows to see if more 'abnormal' individuals like Ye Tian appear.]

[Or whether other places in the world also begin to show changes that defy common sense.]

[While you are deep in thought, Chen Jie and his two bodyguards have been sent to the medical school by an ambulance called by helpful classmates.]

[This sudden conflict caused a brief ripple on campus, but it soon returned to a surface-level calm.]

[The next day, news arrives that Ye Tian, for public assault, has been sentenced to seven days of administrative detention according to the law and received a demerit from the school.]

[The reason the punishment is relatively light lies mainly in the results of the medical appraisal.]

[Although Chen Jie was kicked back several meters in a terrifying scene, after a detailed examination, his body did not sustain injuries that constitute 'minor injury' or above in the legal sense.]

[Furthermore, the Lin family also exerted influence in the shadows, skillfully neutralizing the Chen family's attempts to apply pressure and increase the severity of the punishment.]

[With multiple factors intertwined, this result was ultimately formed—one that appears strict but actually leaves room for maneuver.]

["From the looks of it, Ye Tian actually understands the law a bit?"]

[Seven days later, the detention period expires.]

[When you see Ye Tian again, you keenly perceive that a subtle change has occurred in him.]

[He is still a maverick, but that innate air of arrogance that seemed to look down on everything when you first met has been restrained quite a bit.]

[Deep in his eyes, there is a hint more of grounding and scrutiny, and a few degrees less of contempt.]

["It seems these seven days of experience weren't entirely a bad thing for Ye Tian," you evaluate in your heart.]

["After going through this tempering by the Rules of modern society, his Heart-Nature seems more settled instead. Such a person might be more capable of achieving things than before."]

[June, Year 28.]

[Inside your bedroom, you slowly open your eyes. Your entire aura is harmonious and restrained. A faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of intertwined light blue and crimson flashes beneath your skin before vanishing.]

[The third Physical Body anomaly—the Water-Fire Immortal Raiment—is thus mastered.]

[Unlike the comprehensive strengthening of the previously mastered 'Golden Muscle and Jade Bone,' which combined surging strength with resilient defense...]

[...the 'Water-Fire Immortal Raiment' is a Physical Body anomaly specialized in defense.]

[It is not a physical garment, but an energetic protective layer formed on the surface of the body after the human body's Yin and Yang Qi are extremely refined and fused internally.]

[With a single thought, the Immortal Raiment forms itself, capable of significantly weakening or even neutralizing physical strikes, kinetic impacts, and various forms of energy attacks applied to your body.]

[It adds an almost absolute defensive barrier to your already powerful Physical Body.]

[One month later, in July of Year 28, you take a temporary leave from campus and set off to return to Qingfeng Temple.]

[Inside the temple, everything seems as it was. In a secluded spot on the back mountain, you briefly demonstrate to Daoist Qingwei a cultivation level far exceeding the Peak of Huajin.]

[There is no world-shaking commotion; with just a casual point of your finger, a crouching-ox-shaped bluestone several yards away silently turns to dust.]

[Releasing a hint of your aura, the surrounding airflow naturally stagnates, and fallen leaves remain suspended in the air.]

[Daoist Qingwei's beard and hair tremble, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock.]

[Without saying much, you hand over a set of Dan Core Breakthrough insights that you meticulously organized, fusing the martial arts essence of this world with your own cultivation realizations.]

[Along with a perfected Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Astral Force Realm, the 'Hunyuan Protective Aura Manual,' you give it to this old Daoist who is like both a teacher and a father to you.]

[Daoist Qingwei has been stuck at the Peak of Huajin for many years. His decades of Daoist pure cultivation have long nurtured the Clear Heart state and indifferent temperament required to break through to the Dan Core.]

[What he lacked was merely a key. Your insights are precisely the Opportunity he needs most. You believe it won't be long before Daoist Qingwei becomes a Dan Core Great Grandmaster.]

[Additionally, you spend several days carefully browsing through the long-dusty ancient books in the Library Pavilion of Qingfeng Temple.]

[As expected, some books that previously seemed ordinary or fragmented now reveal a different appearance in your eyes.]

[From them, you find the subsequent parts of the 'Breeze Essence Transformation Manual,' which point directly to Astral Force and even vaguely touch upon higher levels.]

[However, compared to the cultivation method you created yourself—which integrates the advantages of multiple systems—this Legacy technique is already significantly inferior in efficiency, potential, and inclusiveness.]

[You transcribe a copy and give it to Daoist Qingwei, stating it can serve as a reference for verification and to broaden his thinking.]

[In the short ten-odd days of your return to the temple, the shock Daoist Qingwei experienced was likely more than the first half of his life combined.]

[From the strength you displayed, to the technique insights you produced, to pointing out the secrets of the ancient books, every step impacted his established cognitions.]

[In his eyes, you are now like a deep pool, whose bottom cannot be seen.]

[Ten days later, you bid farewell to Daoist Qingwei and return to Tenglong University.]

[Before returning to school, you tell Daoist Qingwei that the world is about to change, and he must Cultivate more and stop scrolling through videos of beautiful women all the time.]

[Daoist Qingwei's old face turns slightly red as he nods repeatedly, yet his eyes are full of gratification and a solemn outlook on the future.]

[August, Year 28, your cultivation advances another step, steadily stepping into the Peak of the Fourth Stage of Mortal Shedding.]

[Your entire body's blood-qi, internal Qi, and Divine Soul fuse together, condensing the Flawless Golden Body.]

[Once this body is formed, your physical strength surges again. Your internal Qi becomes increasingly pure and condensed like mercury paste, and your Divine Soul perception also becomes more resilient and acute, capable of traveling outside the body to observe fine details.]

[After a series of careful tests, your current pure physical strength has steadily broken through three million catties of immense force; every gesture carries the power to collapse mountains and crack stones.]

[In terms of defense, you are confident that unless you are directly hit by the core explosion point of a large-yield nuclear bomb, all conventional modern weapons in the world today will find it difficult to cause substantial damage to you.]

[Even with a nuclear explosion, as long as you are not in the most lethal central area, with your Major Achievement Flawless Golden Body, it is enough to withstand the vast majority of the impact and radiation, leaving you unharmed.]
