Zhou Leng looked around.

Due to practicing the “Establishing Image Chapter,” the constant stomping had shattered the ground inch by inch like a spider web.

The ground directly beneath had been crushed into fine powder.

The walls and ceiling were full of cracks.

Zhou Leng put on new pants, took the Magic Spirit Bag, and headed outside.

Outside, everyone was standing there.

“Brother Zhou Leng, are you alright?” Liang Baiyin ran over to ask.

“I’m fine,” Zhou Leng replied.

“Why did you become smaller?” Molten Hammer asked.

“But your aura seems even stronger,” Mountain River Oak said.

“Your body…”

Zhang Xinglie strode over and pinched Zhou Leng’s upper arm bicep.

“Actually…”

Molten Hammer also came over, roughly squeezing Zhou Leng’s muscles, then touched his own.

“Harder than mine, much, much harder…”

Mountain and River Origin stared at the entirely new Zhou Leng, his expression serious.

In the night, Zhou Leng’s entire body glowed and reflected light, the white steel color of his body becoming even denser.

Mountain River Oak sighed softly, “What a mighty body.”

But Zhou Leng looked at Zhang Xinglie and said, “You’ve reached the Vitality Stage?”

Zhang Xinglie nodded with a smile, “I just took a Promotion Supplement Pill, heard something happened here, so I came to take a look.”

Rumble…

Zhou Leng’s room collapsed.

Everyone was helpless; this was a room prepared for giants, extremely sturdy.

“Were you cultivating, or intentionally causing damage?” Molten Hammer suddenly asked.

Everyone’s eyes flickered.

For someone at the Late Stage of Body Refining, if it were just normal cultivation, it definitely could not result in such terrifying destruction, because cultivation is not direct attack.

“I was using a Training Method, sort of half attack, just didn’t control it well,” Zhou Leng said.

Everyone looked unconvinced.

Liang Baiyin laughed, “As long as you’re okay.”

“By the way, that thing that just flew out, was it your breath?” Zhang Xinglie asked.

“It should be,” Zhou Leng replied.

“You guy…”

Everyone looked at the glass.

The pierced small hole by that breath was smooth without cracks.

Breath penetrates glass.

That’s something even those at the Early Period of the Vitality Stage can’t do, generally achievable at the Peak of the Vitality Stage.

“Try Gathering Qi to Cut Paper.”

Zhang Xinglie said, taking out a piece of white paper, holding it by the top.

The white paper naturally drooped.

If both sides of the paper were pulled forcefully, it would easily tear with True Qi released.

But naturally drooping, the paper is not stressed, making it hard to cut directly.

Zhou Leng combined the fingers of his right hand into a knife, infused Qi into his hand, and lightly slid it horizontally across the drooping white paper.

Screech…

A fine sound continuously rang out.

The right hand swept across, cutting the paper down.

Qi turned to blade.

“Amazing, we dwarves are far from achieving this level,” Molten Hammer said.

“Even we giants don’t have such skillful and unique force exertion,” Mountain River Oak looked down at his own hands, feeling they were just two blocks of stone.

Zhang Xinglie said, “Don’t forget to prepare for the Promotion Supplement Pill of the Vitality Stage, it’s just a matter of one or two months.”

Zhou Leng nodded.

Mountain and River Origin said, “Ordinary Promotion Supplement Pills no longer have much effect on you, you need to increase the amount. You…”

Mountain and River Origin saw that other people from the dwarf embassy were there, so he didn’t mention the Frost Giant Duke’s stipend, but changed the subject, “Let’s find a way to get some ‘Dragon Blood Medicine’ and ‘Treasure Ore Medicine’.”

“Treasure Ore Medicine is great!” Molten Hammer repeatedly nodded, and the dwarves at the embassy also nodded in agreement.

In the dwarf world, the Treasure Ore Medicine of the Giant Race is the most popular pill.

“Treasure Ore Medicine… I heard it’s rarely exported, a strategic resource of the Giant Race, even my uncle can only obtain a little,” Liang Baiyin said.

Mountain River Oak said, “Each year, our various giant tribes scramble for Treasure Ore Medicine, causing many tribes to be unhappy. Those who mocked my brother before basically lost to our Mountain and River Tribe when competing for Treasure Ore Medicine, that’s why they spoke recklessly.”

Mountain and River Origin sighed, “Our grudges with the Giant Dragons, seven out of ten times, are for fighting over the Treasure Ore, after all, it is the ancestral inheritance left by the Starry Giants, if we don’t fight, we can’t do.”

Zhou Leng had heard legends of the Treasure Ore Medicine.

Legend has it that before ascending to the stars, each Starry Giant would cut off a part of its flesh and blood, scatter it onto the Giant World, bury it underground, growing into mineral deposits of flesh and blood, leaving a medicinal field for the rise of the Giant Race.

“Let’s go, find another place,” Mountain and River Origin said.

They changed to a new house, and the six people who had experienced ancestral protection gathered together, sitting at a large table, eating snacks and chatting.

Mountain and River Origin used the demonized watch to project the optional salary of the “Frost Giant Duke,” then explained and selected.

“Our Giant Race’s promotion elixirs must use dragon blood medicine and treasure ore medicine.”

“The body of a giant dragon is not weaker than that of us giants, so the effect of dragon blood medicine is very strong.”

“As for treasure ore medicine, whether it is the flesh and blood of our ancestors is not important. What is important is that this thing has a huge effect. It can be said that our Giant Race’s ability to contend with the Dragon Race, at least thirty percent of the credit goes to treasure ore medicine.”

“In the future, for your salary, you must choose dragon blood medicine and treasure ore medicine.”

“As for other daily necessities, don’t choose any. The rewards from the Human Race and Dwarves are enough to cover your daily needs.”

“Besides dragon blood medicine and treasure ore medicine, don’t choose anything else for now. Wait until you grow further or have special needs, then choose.”

“For things like the Giant’s inheritance or combat techniques, they might not only be useless to you now, but even harmful.”

“I am closer to the giants, but the cultivation process requires my father and many grandmasters to slowly explore and improve. We can’t just copy the giants.”

“For dragon blood medicine, just choose the popular ones.”

“As for treasure ore medicine, there are generally two main directions.”

“One type is the body-expanding type, which contains abundant strength, can enhance all of a giant’s powers, including physique.”

“After taking the body-expanding type, strength and physique are enhanced, destructive power also increases, but it very likely becomes clumsy, and actual combat effectiveness decreases.”

“Therefore, it’s necessary to use the second type, the condensing type treasure ore medicine, which can compress your body and increase your body density.”

“Its function is similar to the human Embracing Essence Pill, except the Embracing Essence Pill compresses true qi, while the condensing treasure ore medicine compresses the body.”

“A normal grandmaster giant’s fingernail, without exerting force, can scratch a diamond. You should understand what this hardness represents.”

Everyone nodded.

Mountain and River Origin looked at Zhou Leng and said, “My dad said that your body’s potential is very special; he even sensed a power not inferior to that of the Giant Race. Although I don’t know the reason, there is one thing you must pay attention to, and that is to definitely lay a solid foundation, don’t waste your body.”

Zhou Leng nodded and said, “I understand.”

“Therefore, for your salary, besides dragon blood medicine and treasure ore medicine, don’t want anything else, give up on everything and only choose those that strengthen the body.”

“Okay!” This also matched Zhou Leng’s thoughts.

As for strengthening true qi, the Human Race is the first.

As for strengthening will or spirit, Demon Purgatory or the Demon Spirit World is stronger.

But as for strengthening the body, giants and giant dragons are more adept.

As for fierce beasts, their intelligence is relatively low, without a complete pill and cultivation system, just eating natural herbal medicine and fruits.

Suddenly, Mountain and River Origin slightly smiled and said, “Your growth has stimulated me.”

“Hmm?” Everyone looked at Mountain and River Origin.

Mountain and River Origin said, “Our Giant bodies are strong, and our will is strong, but our will is strong in madness and frenzy, not pure enough. You also saw this during the ancestral protection.”

Everyone nodded.

“But on the path of martial arts, a strong will is not enough; it also requires purity and clarity. So after some time, I’m planning to go to the Demon Spirit World and, as a ‘mercenary,’ break into the Demon Spirit Tower.”

Molten Hammer surprisingly said, “Even us who are not Demon Spirit Masters can do that?”

“Of course. The Demon Spirit Tower is divided into many types, many test demon spirits, but there are also those purely testing spiritual power, which is what we call the Martial Arts Will. Many masters of the Human Race and Giant Race will collaborate with Demon Spirit Masters to trial in the Demon Spirit Tower, enhancing martial arts will.”

Zhang Xinglie smiled and said, “Interesting, different races of the Ten Realms have different cultivation paths, but everywhere there are intersections and complementary places. Now Demon Spirit Masters also begin to accept some human pills, which are very helpful to them.”

“Absolutely, in recent years, the Ten Realms are all improving.”

Liang Baiyin said, “If you go to the Demon Spirit World, don’t miss the Ten Realms Youth Battle. Are you participating this year or next year?”

Mountain and River Origin and Mountain River Oak looked at each other and smiled, “We two should be participating this year. Next year, we may not remain at the Vitality Stage.”

“That’s ambitious.” Zhou Leng praised.

Molten Hammer said, “I originally planned to participate next year, but thanks to Zhou Leng this year, I’ve received the ancestral protection near the Grand Festival from the Giant Ancestors, and my growth in the coming months will be fast enough to directly participate this year. Hehe. How about you two?”

Zhang Xinglie sighed and said, “I also asked a few days ago, and this year’s slots have basically been decided. I’m considering whether to suppress my strength and wait till next year or give up.”

Liang Baiyin said, “The place where the Ten Realms Youth Battle is held is extraordinary. There are many treasures there. Going there once is as good as several years of cultivation outside. In any case, put in full effort. Even if you have to hold back for a year, it’s worth it.”

Zhang Xinglie said, “Indeed. How about you?”

He looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng said, “I also want to go, but my current core goal is to refine the Giant Body of Wonders. Before it is fully refined, my strength is lacking, and complete refinement will take several months, not in time for the Ten Realms Youth Battle. Moreover, the spots are hard to come by.”

“Then you two can choose next year. By then, with both of your strengths, you will be able to rank among the top dozens on the national Qi Blood Chart and easily obtain the youth battle qualification,” Mountain and River Origin said.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie exchanged a glance and nodded.

The two long-time friends saw the subtle unwillingness in each other’s eyes.

The first echelon of Yunhua Jinjing’s truly top Martial Arts Students will participate in the Ten Realms Youth Battle during their first year.

Growing one year earlier at this time may lead to becoming a Grandmaster ten years earlier in the future.

Perhaps even reaching it forever ahead.

But both have disadvantageous foundations, and even though they worked hard to make up for it afterward, in just over half a year, they are still somewhat behind those truly top people.

Zhou Leng calmly said, “The water doesn’t strive to be first but keeps flowing incessantly. This year’s Ten Realms Youth Battle qualifications don’t matter, even if I don’t have them next year, it’s okay. We will surely ascend to the pinnacle of the Martial Saint, and even venture to the stars.”

“Good!” Mountain and River Origin praised.

That night, the six people talked for a long time.

The next day, Zhou Leng and others went to the Giant Royal Court to participate in a simplified ceremonial sealing.

Seeing Zhou Leng’s body surprisingly shrink, many giants shook their heads; they preferred to see a tall Frost Giant Duke.

Liang Baiyin kept following Zhou Leng, busy during the preparation for the ceremonial sealing.

Her nature is lively and fearless, helping Zhou Leng resolve many small issues, and many giants praised her repeatedly.

In the evening, Zhou Leng and others attended the Giant Banquet.
