BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Fourth-level of the Origin Opening Realm (2)
Translator: Lordbluefire
It was almost completed!
The origin qi in the surroundings unceasingly entered his left ear. Su Yu, who hadn’t been able to see origin qi before, could now see the flow of mist moving. It was none other than origin qi. This was the first time he could sense the existence of origin qi so clearly.
“I…I can’t anymore!”
Su Yu’s mind trembled from the rumblings. It wasn’t that he couldn’t withstand the opening of an aperture, but this was his first time actively refining his body, so his body was still too weak. Hence, he found it hard to endure.
BOOM!
At this moment, the sound of a thunderous explosion echoed out in his left ear, and Su Yu relaxed. It was finally completed.
He then stopped channeling the Origin Gathering Art as he couldn’t persist any longer!
…
Half an hour later, Su Yu was finally at ease.
However, he felt a little regret. The amount of time he had spent cultivating was only half an hour, and he had wasted the remaining time. Since the activation lasted for an hour and he couldn’t save up the remaining time, he could only wait for the countdown to end. It was truly too much of a pity.
“But it’s already very good. I actually reached the fourth level!”
......
Su Yu was happy. He originally didn’t harbor any hope, but who would have thought that he really managed to reach the fourth level before the examinations?
In the entire Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy, only tens of people had reached the fourth level of the Origin Opening Realm.
Over hundreds of people were at the third level, so when he was at the third level, he couldn’t be considered anything. Reaching the fourth level was already not bad.
According to what everyone would say, the current him could already be considered as someone skilled in both martial and literary aspects.
At the level of a genius!
“Is this the effect of the booklet? Too wonderful…but…”
Su Yu furrowed his brows slightly. He was at the Origin Opening Realm, and this effect seemed to be not bad. But after reaching the Thousand Pound Realm, since the Origin Gathering Art wasn’t a cultivation art for humans, it most probably would be inferior to the effects of the cultivation arts from the human race.
“Forget it, I cannot be too greedy. In addition…if I have the cultivation arts of the gods and devils…”
Su Yu’s eyes glimmered. If he activated the pages of gods and devils one day…what would happen?
The cultivation arts of the human race were very powerful, but the cultivation arts of gods and devils were even stronger. The human race had plenty of cultivation arts, while gods and devils didn’t have as much. However, the human cultivation arts were mostly low-level ones, with only a few top-level ones.
Hence, they could only hope to kill the other races to obtain their cultivation arts. However, the probability was too low.
“Do gods and devils exist in my dream realm?”
In the past, the dreams were too ethereal, and he was too young to remember.
He wasn’t sure whether there were gods and devils or not.
If they did exist in his dream realm, didn’t that mean that he could cultivate cultivation arts from gods and devils?
“It’s too early to think about this. Right now, it’s already very good that I have the Origin Gathering Art. It can enable me to swiftly level up.”
Su Yu suppressed this notion, feeling joy in his heart.
The fourth level of Origin Opening!
There were no evident changes to his body, but it was stronger after being refined by origin qi. However, the main difference wasn’t this but rather his hearing.
His left ear moved slightly and very soon, a series of rustling noises entered his ear.
Although the words weren’t clear, his hearing was much better than before.
In the past, because the sound-insulation effect was good, he almost couldn’t hear any external noises. Hence, there was really no way to hear anything if the commotion level was small. But now, his hearing had become much stronger.
To cultivators, being able to see and hear everything clearly was a basic ability.
If one didn’t complete the Origin Opening Realm, they wouldn’t be able to achieve this.
“Very good!”
Although he had used one drop of essence blood, that one merit point was enough to increase his realm by one. If that was the case, Su Yu would be willing to do the same ten or even a hundred more times.
“I have two drops left, should I…try activating the skills?!”
Su Yu’s gaze flickered. He wanted to test the strength of the skills, the duration, and the consequences they would cause to one’s body.
If he used the skills without checking everything about them carefully, that would be irresponsible to himself.
The ironwing birds had two racial skills that could be activated. They were namely laceration and ironwing slash.
This ‘Laceration’ was at level 1, and it represented that ironwing birds of different levels might be able to use different racial skills. This was very normal.
As for ironwing slash, Su Yu had no wings, so he didn’t need to consider this. But he could give laceration a try.
“Let’s try it then!”
However, the space at his home was too small, and there were many people in the surroundings. As elderly people were staying above and below him, it wasn’t too convenient for him to experiment at home.
After thinking about it, Su Yu brought the essence blood and swiftly left home.
…
Tens of minutes later, in a cultivation dojo.
After paying 100 Anping coins, Su Yu rented a cultivation room for an hour. There were many such cultivation dojos in the city. After all, there were many Thousand Pound Realm experts in the city.
“Activate!”
He swallowed the essence blood, and countless scenes instantly appeared in his mind. The scenes detailed how an ironwing bird used its sharp talons to lacerate its prey.
Su Yu felt his hands swelling instantly!
After that, his origin qi was compressed and while his hand was swelling painfully, they were also filled with a powerful might!
“I…is this the laceration skill?”
Su Yu was shocked. This was the first time he felt strong, extremely strong. But there was no way for him to measure how strong he was exactly as he had just reached the fourth level of the Origin Opening Realm.
Right now, his arms were incomparably painful from the swelling, so Su Yu didn’t dare to hesitate. He immediately launched a swift attack at the human-shaped puppet ahead.
Boom!
One of his hands grabbed the target’s throat, being as sharp as eagle talons. Su Yu then tightened his grasp and a booming sound echoed out loud. These human-shaped puppets were constructed for cultivators to test their practical combat skills, so the materials used to make them were very sturdy. At this moment, the puppet’s throat was tightly grabbed and cracking sounds could be heard.
Su Yu then continued to frenziedly attack while alternating with both hands. Every time he attacked, there seemed to be some laceration effect.
Gradually, a fine gap appeared on the puppet’s throat.
This persisted for five to six minutes. After that, Su Yu’s gaze flickered and the strength in his arms seemed as though they were dissipating. He was slowly growing weaker.
Bang!
“Si!”
Su Yu took a breath of cold air when the strength from earlier disappeared completely. He then held the puppet in one hand, and his nails felt as though they were about to fall apart. It was incomparably painful.
