21: Breakthrough! Reaching the pinnacle of power!

"bright yellow rank!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

A Bright Yellow Grade Talent; this was truly a one-in-ten-million talent.

Not to mention in Guangling Prefecture, even in the much vaster Dongshan Prefecture, he would be considered a top-tier Genius.

After all, while Dongshan Prefecture's population exceeded three hundred million, that figure included everyone from infants to the elderly.

If only counting the youth, then being one in ten million was absolutely a top-tier talent.

"I just don't know what type of talent this is. Will it help me master Extreme Strength or comprehend martial arts?"

Lin Yi pondered as the yellow star on the Starry Map Scroll quickly flew out from the bottom and merged into the space between his brows.

"Congratulations, Dao Lord. This Talent Evolution was successful. The Dao Lord has obtained a bright yellow rank talent—Flesh Body Control!"

——————

【Talent: Flesh Body Control】

【Rank: bright yellow rank】

【Description: You possess an innate and unparalleled ability to control your Physical Body. Everything about your Physical Body can be driven, mobilized, and perfectly controlled at your will.】

——————

"Flesh Body Control?"

"This talent is practically tailor-made for comprehending Extreme Strength! My luck..."

Looking at the description of this talent, Lin Yi's eyes widened, filled with shock and joy.

The so-called Extreme Strength was originally the pursuit of a perfect control over one's Physical Body.

Yet, this "Flesh Body Control" talent naturally provided an extremely strong control over the Physical Body.

In this way, someone with the "Flesh Body Control" talent was essentially born on the path to mastering the Limit of Strength Realm.

As such, how could comprehending the Limit of Strength Realm not be easy?

"Let's test the effects!"

With a thought, Lin Yi immediately began to Cultivate within this martial arts training room of the Guangling Martial Academy.

Then... "Whoosh!"

Saber light bloomed within the training room as Lin Yi moved with his blade, gliding and dancing through the air like a vigorous Dragon.

One by one, Lin Yi performed the moves and variations of the Bright Moon Saber Technique. Although they seemed no different from usual, they now possessed a unique charm.

It was as if his body and the long saber were more perfectly combined and integrated, as if they were about to become one.

"Is this Flesh Body Control? It truly is wonderful! Simply wonderful!"

As Lin Yi practiced his saber technique, he felt the changes in his own body, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"With this Flesh Body Control, my control over my Physical Body has become so much stronger."

"In my perception, every inch of flesh, every bone, and even every drop of blood seems to possess a spirit of its own, allowing me to mobilize them at will. Even the long saber in my hand has easily merged with my body."

"In this state, the difficulty of my martial arts cultivation has decreased significantly. As for comprehending the Limit of Strength Realm, which is directly related to Flesh Body Control, saying it's as easy as turning over one's hand would be a massive understatement!"

Inside the martial arts training room, Lin Yi silently practiced the Bright Moon Saber Technique. Before long, he was completely immersed, losing all sense of time passing in the outside world, having entered a state of total self-oblivion.

In this special state, not only did Lin Yi's comprehension of the Limit of Strength Realm deepen.

But on the attribute panel, the progress of the Bright Moon Saber Technique was also rapidly increasing.

32%.

33%.

34%.

35%... Just like that, within the martial arts training room, Lin Yi's martial arts skill Realm grew stronger at a rapid pace.

Almost every so often, the progress of the Bright Moon Saber Technique on the attribute panel would jump up.

Finally—

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

The rooster crowed, announcing the dawn.

Accompanied by the loud crowing of a rooster from outside, Lin Yi, who had been immersed in his saber technique practice within the martial arts training room of the Guangling Martial Academy, finally woke up.

And at the moment he woke up, his saber light suddenly changed.

"Swoosh!"

A terrifying saber light tore through the air, carving a brilliant white mark in the void. Though he hadn't used much strength, it felt as if it could split the entire Void Realm apart.

"Extreme Strength, I've achieved it!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi was slightly stunned, looking at his right hand holding the saber with some disbelief.

Extreme Strength! This was the Limit of Strength Realm! A Realm that only some among the Fifth-Rank experts could master!

And a Fifth-rank Martial Artist was already a major figure in Guangling Prefecture, capable of supporting a whole Family on their own. Even in a top-tier Family like the Wang Family, they would be a well-deserved high-ranking member.

For instance, the manager of the Wang Family's third branch, Third Master Wang, who had previously gone to negotiate with the Black Wind Stockade, was a Fifth-rank Martial Artist. Back then, he dared to confront the fierce and overbearing Black Wind Stockade with only a few Sixth-Rank Martial Artists. Although he relied on the Wang Family's influence, it still showed how powerful a Fifth-rank Martial Artist was.

And now, his own Realm had already surpassed some of those figures.

"Excellent!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yi's face:

"Now that I've comprehended the Limit of Strength Realm, becoming a Profound Rank Genius in the Zijing Merchant Guild or other major powers and merchant guilds will be a breeze."

"Next, I just need to find an opportunity to show my Limit of Strength Realm. Or, I could wait a bit longer until I'm even stronger before aiming for the Earth-Grade Genius level. Either way works."

"As for the Guangling Martial Academy's Entrance Exam, let alone third or second place, even first place is a sure thing for me."

The Limit of Strength Realm was enough to directly boost Lin Yi's basic strength by a full Realm, from Seventh Grade Mid-stage to Sixth Grade Middle Stage.

After a night of practice, although Lin Yi's Bright Moon Saber Technique hadn't reached Great Perfection, it had progressed from (Perfection, 32%) to (Perfection, 75%). His skill Realm had soared, already surpassing many Sixth Rank Peak Martial Artists.

Consequently, the maximum strength Lin Yi could unleash had remarkably reached the Sixth Rank, Late Stage.

At this level, even Wang Kai wouldn't be able to last more than a few moves.

After all, the further one goes in martial arts cultivation, the wider the gap becomes. At the Seventh-Rank level, an ordinary Seventh-Rank Early Stage Martial Artist could still hold out for ten or twenty moves against a Seventh-Rank Late Stage Martial Artist, and a stronger one might even last thirty to fifty moves.

But at the Sixth-Rank, an ordinary Sixth Grade Initial Stage wouldn't even last a single move against a Sixth Rank, Late Stage.

As for Wang Kai, his strength was only slightly better than an ordinary Sixth Grade Initial Stage, nowhere near the Sixth Grade Middle Stage.

When I face him during the Entrance Exam, I'll just need to rely on the powerful defense of the Bright Moon Saber Technique to withstand a few of his moves, then occasionally unleash an Extreme Strength burst.

Fighting like that, Wang Kai definitely won't be able to take it! I'll win for sure.

"And there's still one day left before the Entrance Exam begins. Besides Extreme Strength, I also have the tiger tendon leopard blood pill. My martial arts cultivation should be able to push forward a bit more."

"I don't expect to reach the Seventh-Rank Late Stage, but as long as I can make some progress within the Seventh Grade Mid-stage, it will still boost my strength."

With a thought, Lin Yi took out the black pill bottle from his robe, uncorked it, poured out a blood-red Medicinal Pill about the size of a peanut, and swallowed it in one gulp.
