"That's right, that's it …"
Looking at the wooden block in the other party's hand, even though it wasn't large, it felt as hot as charcoal. Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
It was the Five Yang Tough Wood.
Initially, he was just asking casually. If it really didn't work out, he could only think of other ways. Who would have thought that President Han really did have such a large chunk of it? It was more than enough for him to cultivate the fifth level of the Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body.
"How much is it? I'll buy it," Zhang Xuan said as he took the money from Zhang Xuan.
Previously, the reason why he had made use of the other party's formation flags was so that they could enter the Library of Heaven's Path. After all, it was official business, and the other party's sacrifice was nothing to him. Even if it was him, he would be willing to give up everything for the sake of everyone.
However, the reason why he took out the Five Yang Tough Wood was to improve his physical strength. It was a personal matter, so he naturally had to pay a corresponding reward.
"This … We are all working together and helping each other. Only then can we find a way forward. How can we accept money?" President Han shook his head.
In his current situation, he didn't even know when he would die. No matter how valuable this artifact was, it was just a mere worldly possession. He had only bought it out of curiosity; it wasn't of much use to him.
If he could use this opportunity to decipher the seal and enter the ancient domain, he would have profited greatly.
"That's that. If I don't accept it, I won't be able to rest easy!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"This …"
Guild Leader Han knew that it would be inappropriate for him to reject the other party's offer. Thus, he could only shake his head bitterly and say, "I spent two hundred high-tier spirit stones to purchase this Tenebrous Wood. If you need it, just give me the same price!"
"Alright!" Nodding, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and took out two hundred high-tier spirit stones before passing them over.
Selling the unique Cloudmist Tea of the Cloudmist Ridge had greatly increased his income, and on top of that, he had plundered the storage rings of many Otherworldly Demon Kings … Thus, he had more than ten thousand high-tier spirit stones on him. This sum of money was nothing to him anymore.
After receiving the spirit stones, President Han sighed helplessly. He looked at the young man before him once more, and the admiration in his eyes grew even stronger.
Despite his young age, Zhang Xuan already possessed a vast amount of knowledge. Putting aside the fact that his understanding of formations far exceeded his own, more importantly, the importance he placed on his' teacher's path 'and the restraint he placed on himself was truly admirable.
As long as such a person didn't die, he would surely surpass Zhang Xuan and become an 8-star master teacher.
When the others saw this scene, they were also full of worship.
This was what it meant to be selfless!
It was no wonder why the other party was able to become the principal at such a young age. On the other hand, they were of the same age, yet they had accomplished nothing at all … Just the thought of it left them feeling ashamed.
Liu Mo, in particular, wished that there was a hole in the ground that he could crawl into.
When the young man had first arrived, he had thought that Zhang Xuan was being too arrogant, so he had even reprimanded him. Yet, not only did Zhang Xuan resolve the problem with the seal, he even led the group here …
This ability was not something he could compare to.
If the other party was the bright moon, then he would be the cinders on the ground, completely incomparable.
"I'll be making use of this Wuyang Tensile Wood to cultivate. Feel free to study the seal or regulate your breathing to recover your stamina. Once the seal is broken and we enter the portal, it's hard to say what kind of dangers we'll face. However, the stronger you are, the higher your chances of survival will be!"
Zhang Xuan.
Everyone nodded.
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan walked over to a corner of the rubble where no one could see him before sitting down cross-legged. Clasping the Penta Yang Hardwood he had just obtained, he began driving his zhenqi to cultivate.
Hong long!
The energy within the Penta Yang Tensile Wood flowed into his body through his meridians, tempering every single cell in his body, causing his physical body to undergo a qualitative transformation.
The Quintuple Incandescence Golden Body was meant to bring the five suns of one's physical body to perfection, thus raising one's fighting prowess significantly.
Zhang Xuan had cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art for the previous four Incandescence, and there were no flaws in his cultivation at all. As such, he was able to cultivate the Quintuple Incandescence smoothly.
The zhenqi infused with the energy within the Penta Yang Tensile Wood stimulated his entire body, and even his blood seemed to be undergoing a qualitative transformation.
Two hours later …
A resounding buzz echoed from his body, and all of the energy gathered together to form a ring. Heart Yang, Lung Yang, Spleen Yang, Liver Yang, Kidney Yang … The five suns flowed smoothly through his body, emanating a brilliant glow. It was as if his entire body had been transformed into a golden body, giving off an indestructible aura.
"This is great!"
Feeling the energy coursing through his body, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
At this moment, he was already able to crush Saint 2-dan cultivators with ease with just his physical body. The strength of his body was already comparable to a Saint artifact!
Even though it was only a Saint low-tier artifact, it was still extremely fearsome.
He had grown slightly taller as well. At this moment, his shoulders were wide, and his waist was slender. His entire body was streamlined, giving him a sense of perfection. If the Glacier Rain Sword were to pierce his skin, the latter would surely break while he would remain unscathed!
In fact, even if he were to clash head-on with Jin Yuan Ding, he wouldn't lose by much.
It could be said that the current Zhang Xuan was already a human-shaped weapon. Even without using his sword or saber arts, he was already ridiculously powerful.
Hu!
Exhaling deeply, Zhang Xuan stood up and concealed the abnormality in his body.
No one would have believed that such a huge change would occur to him after cultivating for such a short period of time. There was no harm in being careful. In order to avoid trouble, it would be best for him to keep a low profile.
Lowering his head to take a look, Zhang Xuan saw that the Penta Yang Tensile Wood in his palm had already been depleted.
Storing it into his storage ring, Zhang Xuan began making his way toward the door.
Before he could reach the door, he saw that the crowd was seated cross-legged not too far away from the door. Some were seated close to the door while others were further away from it. It was a bizarre sight to behold.
"Zhang Shi, you are here!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, one of the combat masters at the very back stood up.
"You all are …" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
It was one thing for them to cultivate, but why were they queuing up for food in the cafeteria?
"Oh, it's like that. Earlier, Wu Shi realized that using the heat of the door to temper his zhenqi would result in the purity of his zhenqi, so … we decided to cultivate together. However, everyone's tolerance is different, so we can only choose the position that suits us best …"
The combat master explained.
"Tolerance?" Zhang Xuan nodded.
The fact that the door was so hot that it was able to burn so much lava all year round showed just how fearsome it was. Just like when he was tempering his soul previously, it was indeed beneficial to the purity of his zhenqi.
What the other party said was true. Just like before, he was only able to get within twenty meters of the other party. He couldn't get any closer.
"Indeed. The few of us can only cultivate within forty meters of the door so as to avoid going berserk. On the other hand, Wu Shi and the others are already able to reach a distance of fifteen meters.
That's truly frightening … "the combat master nodded as he gazed at Zhang Xuan in awe.
"To be able to reach a distance of fifteen meters, not only is their physical body, their soul, and their zhenqi aren't weak either …" Zhang Xuan nodded.
He had been to a distance of twenty meters previously, so he knew that the further he advanced, the more difficult it would become. It was already frightening for Wu Shi and the others to be able to reach such a distance.
"Right, Zhang Shi, are you done cultivating?"
After explaining the matter, the combat master suddenly recalled something and turned to Zhang Xuan.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded. "You should continue cultivating."
As he spoke, he walked forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was already twenty meters away from the door.
At this moment, only Wu Shi, President Han, Feng Xun, and a few others were seated at the front. Even Wu Tianqiong and the other school heads were seated at the back.
"Zhang Shi … is he going to walk over just like that? Didn't he say that he couldn't hold on a moment ago? "
Seeing the young man nodding to the crowd with a smile on his face and gesturing for them not to get up so as not to disturb their cultivation, the combat master who had been speaking to him earlier felt his jaws dropping to the ground.
He had clearly seen how Zhang Xuan was unable to advance any further after reaching the twenty-meter mark. He had thought that it was already an incredible feat for a Nascent Saint to be able to reach the twenty-meter mark, but who could have thought that the other party would actually walk over as if he didn't feel the temperature at all … How in the world did he do it?
While the combat master was still in shock, Feng Xun, who was around nineteen meters away, was also staring at the smiling Zhang Xuan with widened eyes, and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
He was a Saint 3-dan pinnacle expert, a Thousand Men Commander of the Combat Master Hall. Yet, to reach the nineteen meter mark, he had already expended so much effort, nearly losing his life in the process. He could only rely on his cultivation to neutralize the heat poison in his body … Yet, this fellow was walking over with a smile on his face as if he was taking a stroll … Did he really have to be so exaggerated?
Just as he was wondering how far the other party could go, the other party had already begun chatting with Wu Shi.
"Wu Shi, you're still cultivating. Don't get up, just continue cultivating. I'll head over to take a look … There's no need to stand on ceremony!"
Following which, the other party continued walking forward with a smile on his face. Fourteen meters, thirteen meters, twelve meters … In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the ten-meter mark.
The searing heat from the flames caused his clothes to flutter noisily, as if they would be torn apart at any moment. Yet, Zhang Xuan was still wearing the same smile as before, as if the heat didn't affect him in the slightest.
"This …"
This time, not only was Feng Xun shocked, even Wu Shi and President Han glanced at one another in astonishment, and their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
Fifteen meters was already their limit, and yet, this fellow was able to walk within ten meters without feeling anything at all. On top of that, he was still wearing a smile on his face. He was truly an inhuman monster …
Eight meters, seven meters, six meters …
As the distance grew closer, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Hong long!
Zhenqi gushed out from his acupoints, shrouding his entire body.
To only use his zhenqi when he's within five meters … How strong must his physical body be?
Upon seeing this sight, Wu Shi gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
As a Seven Star pinnacle master teacher, his eye of discernment was far superior. For the other party to walk within five meters without noticing at all, he had thought that the other party was just putting on an act, but in truth, the other party had already begun driving his zhenqi. However, upon seeing this sight, he realized that … that wasn't the case at all.
To only use his zhenqi when he's within five meters … Wasn't his physical body a little too fearsome?
Could it be that the other party had gone off to cultivate his physical body?
But … wasn't the physical body the most difficult aspect to cultivate? How did he manage to reach such a level in just two hours?
While Feng Xun was still in shock, President Zhang had already walked up to the seal, placed his hand on it, and retreated eight steps before coming to a halt. He closed his eyes for a moment, as if contemplating something.
A moment later, a frown appeared on his forehead, as if he had noticed something, and a bizarre expression appeared on his face.
"This … How is this possible?"
