Dong!
The morning bell rang.
A thousand rays of dawn pierced through the mist.
Inside the room,
Luo Mu slowly closed the manual and let out a long sigh.
He had been in the room for nearly two full days, studying the [Xuan Yang Overlord Body Technique].
All the critical points had been addressed.
He must have gone through it nearly ten thousand times!
The rewards were naturally abundant.
All the difficult parts had been comprehended.
"Luckily, I didn't skip any of the basic theory lessons in the past."
"My foundation is solid."
"Otherwise, even if I read through it a thousand times, it would be useless without the proper knowledge."
Luo Mu felt fortunate.
Cultivation techniques and martial arts were different.
The body was directly involved, so it was essential to understand every organ, meridian, and the like.
It was quite complex.
One mistake, and things could go terribly wrong; in severe cases, one could go astray and perish.
Rising to his feet,
Luo Mu stretched his body.
His bones let out a series of cracking sounds, like beans frying.
"I'll need to read more books from now on."
Luo Mu murmured to himself.
With the system, even with average talent, as long as the theoretical knowledge was rich and wide enough, he could make breakthroughs by connecting ideas from different fields.
Constantly gaining new insights.
Until complete understanding!
"Next, I'll start cultivating!"
Luo Mu's eyes shone with determination.
After thoroughly comprehending the [Xuan Yang Overlord Body Technique], his understanding of the technique was much deeper now.
It was definitely a powerful body refinement technique.
Although there was no significant improvement in speed or recovery,
everything else was included.
Especially in terms of defense—
It was extremely strong!
To use a term from the past life, it was like adding nearly a hundred points to physical and magical resistance.
He pushed open the door,
stepping into the sunlight.
Basking in the rays.
To practice the [Xuan Yang Overlord Body Technique], one must first find the essence of the sun.
But not every ray of sunlight contained the essence of the sun.
It was extremely rare.
It all depended on luck.
There were some spiritual items in the world, such as the Fire Flame Divine Crystal, which contained the essence of the sun in abundance.
However, such items were expensive and beyond reach unless one had a large fortune.
Luo Mu had only five hundred contribution points left, so he wouldn't consider this route.
"Let's begin!"
Luo Mu sat cross-legged,
removed his shirt, revealing his muscular frame.
His muscles were well-toned, but not exaggerated.
The lines were near perfect.
After entering the True Aperture Realm, his body had been enhanced by the Yuan Chu Blood, allowing him to withstand even the weakest essence of the sun.
He silently recited the technique's mantra, and his qi and blood began to circulate according to the prescribed path, flowing through his pores and radiating outward.
An invisible qi furnace began to form around him.
The [Xuan Yang Overlord Body Technique] was divided into two parts:
One was induction, the other was body refining.
Right now, he was using the technique's formula to sense and attract the essence of the sun from the surroundings.
If it appeared, he could guide it into his body.
After a short while,
Luo Mu's expression shifted slightly,
a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Had he sensed it so quickly?
Was it because the essence of the sun was so rare, or was the academy's location special?
Without further thought, Luo Mu cut off the sensation.
Because, in the distance, there was a massive beam of golden light with an abnormally high temperature.
This level of solar essence was beyond what he could handle at this moment.
If he tried to absorb it, it would immediately burn him to cinders.
The cultivation of this technique required gradual progress.
In the beginning, only the weakest solar essence could be absorbed.
He had to build the Xuan Yang Inner Courtyard first.
Only after reaching a small success could he absorb stronger solar essence.
Time passed slowly.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Four hours.
Still, no solar essence appeared.
Neither large nor small.
Luo Mu didn't get impatient.
The essence of the sun was as rare as it was powerful, and it was not something that could be easily found.
It required patience.
Slowly, the sun began to set.
As a bead of sweat dropped from Luo Mu's brow, he couldn't help but smile.
Finally!
He had sensed it!
It was a small wisp of solar essence, no bigger than a flame.
It seemed like it would dissipate with a gust of wind,
but it perfectly matched his need!
Without hesitation, Luo Mu recited the technique's mantra again, and his qi furnace blazed with fire.
The temperature skyrocketed.
To the naked eye, the wisp of solar essence, which was no larger than a flame, seemed to respond, attracted to the heat.
It flew towards him like a light feather and landed on his shoulder.
It gradually entered his body!
So hot!
That was Luo Mu's first reaction!
It felt like his body was burning from the inside out.
This was just the weakest essence of the sun. How terrifying must the more powerful ones be?
No time to think, Luo Mu activated his technique, and his qi and blood surged, wrapping the solar essence and continually dividing it into smaller parts.
It spread throughout his body.
The Xuan Yang Inner Courtyard,
as the name suggested, first required the body to adapt to the sun's essence.
Only then could it absorb stronger solar essence later on!
Luo Mu furrowed his brow.
To be honest, the pain was even worse than he had imagined.
It felt as though every part of his body was being burned.
But he could clearly feel the improvement.
Under the effect of the solar essence, the impurities in his blood, flesh, skin, meridians, and bones were being burned away, turning to nothing.
In just a dozen breaths,
his body's strength had increased by a small tier!
An hour later,
the solar essence, divided into countless parts, was fully absorbed by his body.
Luo Mu opened his mouth,
and a wave of hot air rushed out.
The grass beneath his feet instantly turned black.
"Done!"
Luo Mu stood up, a look of joy in his eyes.
The construction of the Xuan Yang Inner Courtyard had been simpler than he expected.
Of course, that was mainly because he had completely understood the technique without any doubts.
Thus, there were no errors.
Once he absorbed the first wisp of solar essence, the technique was considered to have been initiated.
The Xuan Yang Inner Courtyard was successfully established at a preliminary stage.
However, to truly begin refining, he would need fifty wisps of solar essence like the one he just absorbed.
"A single wisp was so hard to wait for, let alone fifty. No wonder high-tier techniques are so difficult to practice. Besides comprehension, it's all about resources."
Luo Mu murmured to himself.
At that moment, a prompt sound echoed in his mind.
Ding!
"You have diligently cultivated, persevering in the operation of [Xuan Yang Overlord Body Technique], successfully establishing the Xuan Yang Inner Courtyard, triggering a critical hit, and receiving a hundredfold harvest!"
