Chapter 48: Chapter 48: They are so powerful

In the evening, Jack Clark sat cross-legged on his bed, his mind guiding his True Strength to circulate continuously along the second layer route of Dragon Elephant Power.

He could clearly feel the transparent True Strength radiating a suction force as it circulated, forcibly refining and absorbing the free Extraordinary Energy from his body.

Unlike before, it didn't require Spirit Power to guide it into the body, and its cultivation efficiency was several times faster than before the breakthrough.

After refining those free energies, this True Strength would grow stronger with each circulation, then return to the Dantian and start a new round.

However, unlike the internal power described in martial arts novels that travelled through the meridians with the Dantian as the starting point, the route of True Strength was extremely complex.

Not only would it move under the fascia and skin, it would also shuttle through muscles and bones, and its passage would temper and strengthen the physique throughout the body.

This was why the physique of True Martial Practitioners gradually strengthened.

The Dragon Elephant Power, the main force and defense, had a better tempering effect on the physique. After cultivating it, the explosive power of the muscles was stronger, and the skin became tougher.

Almost an hour later, Jack Clark opened his eyes.

Phew!

Jack Clark exhaled heavily, perceiving the changes after cultivation, and then murmured thoughtfully, “This progress is a bit slow.”

The First Layer Heaven is mainly meant for tempering the physique and generating True Strength. Therefore, you need to refine your physique to about five times that of an ordinary person with a limb strength of 300 kg to touch the edge of a breakthrough.

After breaking through to the Second Layer Heaven, the cultivator's focus will be placed on strengthening True Strength until the Dantian is filled, and the tempering of the physique becomes secondary.

The physiological limit for the Second Layer Heaven is about 800kg of arm strength.

This is not the human biological limit, but the tempering effect limit of the Second Layer Heaven's True Strength on the body.

Only by breaking through to the Third Layer Heaven can the stronger True Strength continue to temper and strengthen the body.

But as cultivators don't need to strengthen their physique to the limit, as long as True Strength fills the Dantian, continually compressing True Strength into a mist to achieve breakthroughs.

Therefore, some extreme cultivators will pay less and less attention to strengthening the physique and focus more on the breakthrough of True Strength.

Because the higher the realm, the more terrifying the power of the True Strength that is cultivated, it could even fight by controlling the power of Heaven and Earth.

Compared to high-level cultivators, especially those at the Ninth Heavens, the increase in body strength of hundreds or thousands of kilograms is negligible.

Only those who have been stuck at a realm for several years or even decades will spend energy tempering their physique to the extreme limit of the current realm.

Because tempering and strengthening the physique during cultivation will consume some True Strength and affect the progress of cultivation.

With Lori Parma's teachings in mind, Jack Clark estimated that if he wanted to fill his Dantian with True Strength, it might take almost half a year under normal cultivation conditions.

“Half a year, huh,” Jack sighed as he thought about it.

After two Avatar Evolution sessions, his physique had improved and his talent was no less than those 'geniuses' who had breakthroughs within a week by relying on resources.

Under such circumstances, it would take half a year to break through to the Third Layer Heaven. So how long would it take for those who establish their foundation in half a month, a month?

Once again, Jack felt the difficulties on the path of cultivation. It would take at least half a year for him to breakthrough from the Second Layer Heaven to Third Layer Heaven. What about from the Third Layer to the Fourth Layer?

Considering the increase in difficulty with each Layer Heaven's breakthrough, it will take at least two years for those with less talent to break through to the Third Layer under normal cultivation…

When he thought of this, Jack couldn't help feeling fortunate.

Luckily, he had attribute points that could directly enhance and break through the realm of the Cultivation Method.

The next afternoon, Jack, who had been cultivating his sword skill all morning, ran into Crystal Leinster and Justin Welan in the cafeteria, they were in line too.

“Jack, over here,” Justin waved at him.

When Jack came up behind him, Justin anxiously said, “Jack, have you heard?”

“You haven't said anything yet, what am I supposed to have heard?” Jack couldn't help but retort.

“Heh… 1 thought you knew already.”

Justin chuckled, then started gossiping, “This morning, I heard that Howard Lee, who was ranked second, and Kyle Hawk, who was ranked third, both broke through to the Second Layer Heaven.”

“I heard that Howard Lee achieved the foundation in three days and had already reached the limit of the First Layer Heaven. After coming in second place this time, he directly broke through with the help of the cultivation resources.”

Jack nodded, “I know him.”

Jack had a deep impression of that formidable student who wielded heavy weapons and stood two meters tall – after all, he was the guy who fought with an iron columniWhile talking, they got their meals and took their trays to an unoccupied table.

After sitting down, Jack Clark looked at the purple-haired girl across the table and asked curiously, “Class Leader, how long do you think it will take for you to break through?”

As a genius ranked tenth in the competition, Crystal Leinster was very popular among the freshmen. She was not only beautiful, but also very strong.

Crystal Leinster thought for a moment: “I used some resources yesterday to strengthen my constitution to the First Layer Heaven Limit, next I need to nurture and consolidate my True Strength. I estimate it will take a few more days.”

“Class Leader is amazing, you are about to break through so quickly.”

While praising Crystal, Jack's tone was very sincere, as if he had completely forgotten that he had broken through to the Second Layer Heaven yesterday.

Crystal shook her head: “There is nothing to be proud of. 1 just used some resources to break through ahead of time.”

Originally, Crystal estimated that she would be able to break through a little over a month after her Foundation Establishment. Now it was just a week ahead, so she didn't feel anything special about it.

Moreover, not only Crystal broke through, over the course of the next week or so, many people ranked in the top fifty also broke through to the Second Layer Heaven.

Meanwhile, some rumors about Jack Clark began to circulate.

They said the reason he was able to make it into the top fifty was due to his high level of compatibility with the Dragon Elephant Power, which gave him an explosive strength exceeding the limit at the First Layer Heaven.

Even so, he only managed to scrape through to the 49th place.

Once the 'geniuses' who cultivated advanced skills broke through to the Second Layer Heaven, his little advantage would be crushed.

Moreover, according to the cultivation speed of low-level martial arts, even if he exchanged resources to speed up his cultivation, it would still take him at least a month to break through to the Second Layer Heaven.

By that time, not to mention the top fifty, the cultivators who practiced advanced martial arts and hadn't made the ranking would have broken through ahead of him.

Any one of these people could suppress Jack. His rank among the top 49 in the grade would no longer be an honor, but a subject of mockery for being a title-holder without substance.

“What are your thoughts after hearing all this?”

Thursday, afternoon.

In the reading room on the thirty-third floor, Freya Louise relayed all the comments she had seen on the official website.

Jack thought for a moment and nodded, “1 don't have any thoughts on it. They are correct, those people do indeed have a much better cultivation talent than me.”

Seeing Jack's calm demeanor, unmoved by outside opinions, Freya Louise blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked curiously, “Aren't you afraid that someone will challenge you after breaking through to the Second Layer Heaven?”

Although according to school rules, the ranking of the sophomores won't change, if anyone really defeated Jack, their popularity would definitely skyrocket.

“I'm not scared.”

“Why?” Freya Louise asked, puzzled.

Jack chuckled, “Those ranked above me won't make a move, and out of those who didn't make the ranking, only the ones who cultivated advanced skills pose me any danger.”

“But those people can only get 5 contribution points in a month, which is even fewer than me now, and they don't have the 20% Discount Permission, so they can't exchange many resources.”

“By the time they break through, I will probably have broken through as well. As for who will win or lose at the same realm, it's still up in the air.”

Jack didn't tell anyone that he had already broken through because it defied common sense.

After all, he had only shown a mediocre level of talent before. Even if he had high compatibility with True Martial, it would be too conspicuous, so there was no need to say it.

Of course, he wasn't planning to feign weakness to take advantage of others. He simply preferred to act low-key and didn't feel the need to boast about it everywhere.

But if anyone provoked him, he wouldn't hesitate to slap them down.

Seeing Jack's serene demeanor, unruffled by external influences, Freya Louise couldn't help but laugh.

The two of them chatted casually for a while, then each immersed themselves in the atmosphere of reading.

Of course, while Jack seemed to be reading, most of his attention was on the Heavy Armored Beast.

The menacing Unique Beast, now grown to 1.3 meters, slowly entered the river.

More than a week had passed since Jack broke through to the Second Layer Heaven, and during this time, the Heavy Armored Beast spent every day either hunting or on its way to hunt.

As the Heavy Armored Beast continued to grow, becoming increasingly powerful and menacing, Jack noticed that there were fewer and fewer mutated big fish in this stretch of the river, with him often having to swim several miles before encountering one.

As a result, just searching for prey each day was a waste of time.

Beneath the surface of the river, about ten meters deep, the Heavy Armored Beast was chewing on some fish meat, its eyes thoughtful. “It seems that once the Heavy Armored Beast evolves again, we will have to go looking for food in the sea..”
