22: The true terror of the Martial Saint Body

"Boom!"

The Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, and before long, a powerful medicinal force immediately rose within Lin Yi's body.

Seeing this, Lin Yi did not delay and immediately performed the Sixth Grade breathing technique he majored in, the "Whale Swallowing Breathing Technique."

"Inhale! Exhale! Inhale! Exhale..."

On the ground, Lin Yi's breathing was continuous, like a giant whale sucking in water; each breath lasted as long as a stick of incense, incredibly long.

Under this miraculous breathing technique, the surging medicinal power of the tiger tendon leopard blood pill was rapidly absorbed and refined by Lin Yi, turning into a torrent of energy that increased his cultivation... [Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid-stage (3%)]

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid-stage (4%)]

...[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid-stage (8%)]

...[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid-stage (12%)]

...Under Lin Yi's refinement, his cultivation on the attribute panel climbed rapidly. He cultivated for nearly an hour in one go.

Finally... "Buzz!"

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, his cultivation on the attribute panel had changed significantly.

[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Mid-stage (28%)]

..."28%! So much!"

Seeing this number, Lin Yi's pupils constricted.

A single tiger tendon leopard blood pill actually increased his cultivation progress from 3% to 28%. Didn't that mean this single session of cultivation had increased his progress by a full 25%?

The effect of this tiger tendon leopard blood pill is a bit too powerful, isn't it?

Lin Yi was shocked in his heart.

However, after just a few moments, he suddenly realized:

"No! Although the tiger tendon leopard blood pill is one of the best Medicinal Pills for Seventh Grade Martial Artists to increase their cultivation, its effect could never be this strong."

"Just like how Wang Kai took a full thirty-plus tiger tendon leopard blood pills to advance from Seventh Grade Mid-stage to Seventh-Rank Late Stage, and other Seventh Grade Disciples of the Martial Academy even took more before finally breaking through."

"Based on the current situation, even if cultivation progress becomes harder the further one goes and the human body develops drug resistance, I should be able to Breakthrough to Seventh-Rank Late Stage after consuming at most five tiger leopard qi and blood pills."

"So, it's not that the tiger tendon leopard blood pill is strong, but that my Martial Dao Sacred Body is too strong!"

At this thought, Lin Yi's eyes shifted, looking at the four shining words "Martial Dao Sacred Body" on the attribute panel.

Martial Dao Sacred Body—this was the most powerful and only Profound Violet Level Talent he possessed, an extremely terrifying talent that only one in a hundred billion people could have!

In the past, Lin Yi felt that while it was powerful, it didn't seem as exaggerated as the attribute panel described. But after swallowing the tiger tendon leopard blood pill this time, Lin Yi realized it wasn't that the "Martial Dao Sacred Body" wasn't strong, but that he had been too weak before!

Because he was weak before, he could never get any good Medicinal Pills or resources and could only use Medicinal Pills like the qi and blood pill.

And the qi and blood pill was merely a Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill, even the most common among them; the medicinal power it contained was small, and it wasn't that difficult to absorb.

Therefore, this qi and blood pill was like an ordinary math test with a full score of 100. No matter how high Lin Yi's talent was, he could only score 100 at most, while others with slightly less talent could still score a 50.

In this case, although Lin Yi was powerful, he was at most twice as strong as an ordinary person, making the "Martial Dao Sacred Body" completely unworthy of its reputation as a peerless talent found only once in a hundred billion people.

But the tiger tendon leopard blood pill was different. As the most effective among the common cultivation-enhancing Medicinal Pills for Seventh Grade Martial Artists, the medicinal energy contained within the tiger tendon leopard blood pill was extremely terrifying.

It was like an extremely difficult Olympiad exam with a full score of 100.

On such a test, an ordinary person would generally only score 1 or 2 points.

As for a Genius, scoring 7 or 8 points would be remarkable, yet Lin Yi could still score 100!

Thus, in an instant, the gap between Lin Yi and an ordinary person had increased from twofold to dozens or even a hundredfold!

How terrifying was this?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face:

"Martial Dao Sacred Body! Truly worthy of being the Martial Dao Sacred Body! With this talent, the biggest problem among all the issues for my Breakthrough to the Seventh-Rank Late Stage—the energy problem—is immediately solved."

"Now, the only remaining question is exactly how long it will take to fully absorb these five tiger tendon leopard blood pills."

"After all, there is a limit to the medicinal power a human body can absorb in a day. For example, when Wang Kai absorbed those thirty-plus tiger tendon leopard blood pills, it took him almost half a year."

"On average, it took him about four to five days to absorb one tiger tendon leopard blood pill. As for the other Martial Academy Disciples, they spent even more time."

"And although my Aptitude far exceeds that of Wang Kai and those Martial Academy Disciples, it remains an unknown how much time it will take to absorb a full five tiger tendon leopard blood pills."

"I can only say, I hope to finish the absorption within a day!"

Lin Yi thought to himself.

Finishing the absorption within a day meant he could Breakthrough to the Seventh-Rank Late Stage before the Entrance Exam.

With Seventh-Rank Late Stage cultivation combined with the Sixth Grade Perfection (75%) "Bright Moon Saber Technique," Lin Yi would normally have the combat power of the Sixth Grade Initial Stage, not much worse than Wang Kai.

If he unleashed Extreme Strength, he would be extremely strong even among those in the Sixth Rank, Late Stage; it's likely he could even kill Wang Kai in a single strike.

This way, it would be much easier for Lin Yi to take first place in the Entrance Exam.

With these thoughts turning, Lin Yi closed his eyes again, swallowed another tiger tendon leopard blood pill, and operated the "Whale Swallowing Breathing Technique," rapidly absorbing the powerful medicinal energy within the tiger tendon leopard blood pill.

In this way, time passed quickly during Lin Yi's cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived...
