Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Tang Yue’s Generosity, the Three Realms of Vital Energy and Blood

Mo Fan felt a deep malice and secretly complained that Old Lu wasn’t as kind as he seemed—he was clearly stirring up trouble

He gave up with a forehead full of black lines and said, “The National Institute training trip is about to start. Want to go to the Imperial Capital with me?”

“Ahem, give me a few days.”

Lu Jun lightly coughed, then wrapped his arm around Tang Yue and swaggered off, leaving Mo Fan disheveled in the wind.

On the other side, the two strolled around West Lake and returned to the villa.

As soon as they stepped inside, Tang Yue’s breathing grew rapid. She couldn’t wait and pinned Lu Jun against the wall, her tall, curvaceous body pressing close as she offered a passionate kiss.

At once, Lu Jun felt himself squashed against the resilient wall, his lips sealed.

After a long chase, the two finally parted lips, both their faces flushed, their emotions stirred.

Tang Yue’s beautiful eyes shimmered with tenderness and charm as she said, “Since you came to Hangzhou, why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Just came for business,” Lu Jun paused before saying, “But I can stay with you for a few days.”

It had been two to three months since they last saw each other, and they naturally missed one another.

“Is that so…” Tang Yue’s charming face was bright and flushed as she slapped away Lu Jun’s mischievous hand and rolled her eyes. “Go shower first, you’re all sweaty.”

Lu Jun regretfully let go, watching Tang Yue’s figure disappear from view.

Moments later, he lay on the sofa, preparing to wait, when the bathroom door opened again, steam billowing out.

The beautiful and mature lady was wrapped in a towel, her long, full, white legs stepping gracefully toward him.

Tang Yue smiled as she pulled him up and playfully scolded, “So unbehaved.”

Seeing this, Lu Jun was stunned, dumbfounded as the big sister led him into the bathroom.

Splashhh!

A wave of steam surged toward them. The two sat in the bathtub hand-in-hand, water overflowing like a flood.

Lu Jun leaned back against the porcelain wall with his eyes half-closed, watching Tang Yue’s towel float up—”ice cream” melting—revealing her fair, supple body.

Then, he comfortably enjoyed the soft scrubbing from a white bath puff.

After some fooling around, the sky had grown dark.

Lu Jun lay on the bed, the bedroom door wide open. Tang Yue leaned on the door frame, her eyes bold and passionate, her long legs wrapped in white stockings, exuding unique charm.

The mature woman had put on white silk, and the contrast made Lu Jun drool.

The two embraced, and the night passed in silence.

Several days later, Lu Jun reluctantly said goodbye. Tang Yue lounged lazily on the sofa, her demeanor relaxed, face rosy, full of satisfaction, lazily waving goodbye.

They likely wouldn’t see each other again for a whole year.

He summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast—not heading to the Imperial Capital right away, but returning to Magic City.

He had been delayed by Mo Fan and Xin Xia’s matters, but now he finally had some free time.

Within Pearl Institute, Lu Jun found Lu Weixi, who had been placed in the Youth Class by Dean Xiao and would attend university once he came of age.

Lu Weixi was only about fourteen or fifteen. he didn’t dare reveal that he had already reached Intermediate level Light Magic, so he showed himself as a beginner-level Summoning Mage of his second element.

However, the semi-disaster inheritor talent had already started to affect his Summoning Element. Unlike the pale moon-colored Star Cloud of ordinary people, his appeared a holy white, filled with rich Light aura, making his unsuitable for contracting demons.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast particularly disliked Lu Weixi.

This problem was beyond Lu Jun’s ability to help with. In the future, he would need to find a Summoned Beast capable of bearing massive Light aura, or it would end in tragedy—the contracted beast sanctified by Light Magic.

Inside the lab, Lu Weixi controlled his holy Star Map, and a golden pillar of light descended, enveloping Lu Jun.

This time the reaction was intense—after all, it had been over two months since his last purification.

Szzzzz!

The gray marks on Lu Jun’s arm connected into a line, black smoke rising as a twisted deathly face emerged, with strong Underworld energy circulating.

His face looked grim, pain seeming to emanate from deep within his bone marrow.

Moreover, he noticed something strange. The traces of dark-red death energy in his body, once purified, were broken down into streams of pure crimson magic energy that seeped into his flesh and bonesp

The previously resilient, translucent-white fascia layer grew sturdier and more robust, his blood and Qi surged violently, and faint red illusory flames rose from his skin.

Light and darkness harmonized, and what remained was harmless origin.

Lu Jun felt warm all over. Back when he had just obtained the Ancient King’s Armor Robe, the accumulation was brief, and when Lu Weixi purified him then, the effect hadn’t been obvious. But now the strengthening feedback was clearly noticeable.

“It seems the body has started to consciously digest the vast energy of the Ancient King’s Armor Robe and evolve.”

He felt a trace of joy at the thought. The imperial tier wasn’t something mere Forbidden Curse-tier human mages could compare to. That kind of indestructible flesh could even withstand Forbidden Curse-level magic head-on.

According to Professor Yuan’s rough classification of the Nine Realms of Blood and Qi, the imperial tier far surpassed all nine, a level forever beyond reach.

Originally, Lu Jun’s body had been tempered repeatedly through multiple high-level breakthroughs, and had gradually reached the peak of the Second Realm of Blood and Qi—roughly equivalent to a Great Warrior.

Among Super Mages, that was definitely considered top-tier. But compared to the progress he’d made in magical attainment, it was already lagging behind, falling far out of step.

At his core, he was still a high-magic, low-physique glass cannon—unable to hold up in the face of high-level magic exchanges.

As the stimulative effect of high-tier breakthroughs diminished, the advancement of his Water Elemental Tide cultivation had slowed into a bottleneck. He was even considering giving up this pursuit altogether.

Who would’ve thought—a glimmer of hope appeared at the end of the dark path. A new breakthrough path had emerged.

Lu Jun pondered his Water Element had recently gained the [Withering] innate talent. If he actively channeled the Nether Radiance of the Ancient King’s Armor Robe to scour his body, would the stimulative enhancement be even stronger?

Most likely, yes. But the side effects would be even greater it would compress his lifespan. Only someone truly fed up with living would attempt such a thing.

He would have to wait for the right opportunity before trying it.

It would be best to use Healing-type Life Energy to neutralize it. As for Light Element purification, to put it plainly, it softens the Death Origin, suppressing it to within a range the body can withstand.

If destruction and healing could be carried out simultaneously body breaking down while rapidly regenerating then the rate of physical improvement would increase dramatically.

“Moreover, the effect of Light Element is weakening.”

Lu Jun frowned. This time, the accumulation of Death Origin was greater. It took Lu Weixi three whole days to completely clear it, and the amount of gray markings removed was less each time.

Although the change was minor, over time, it would eventually lose effect.

Forget it. Lu Jun shelved the matter for now. Ding Yumian and Lu Weixi’s guarantee was already within his expectations—being able to extend the seal’s limit by two or three years was already decent. The rest would depend on his own advancement.

RUMBLE—

In the room, Lu Jun’s blood and Qi surged throughout his body. Thunderous booming came from within. The fascia layer had spread through his limbs and bones, protruding onto his skin’s surface, forming dense dark-red tendons like tattooed totems.

It was identical to the black ritual markings that covered his body in his White Tiger Ascension state, outlining fierce tiger stripes.

Behind him, from countless pores, wisps of blood smoke leaked out, vaguely condensing into a blood-red silhouette—a blood cloud, not yet fully formed.

Breakthrough to the Third Realm of Blood and Qi! His physical strength now rivaled that of an Advanced-stage Warrior.

Lu Jun wasn’t sure if this was the standard manifestation of this realm. In this entirely new domain, he had no prior experience to draw upon. So he crudely borrowed from the indicators used for measuring demons.

The Blood and Qi Realms likely paralleled the Star Orbit and Star Map of the Spiritual Realms each realm possessing a defining trait or ability to delineate the stage.

The Lower Three Realms seemed to be marked by the [Fascia Layer]. As for the Middle and Upper Three Realms, that remained unknown.

He vaguely recalled a few Super-tier powerhouses who specialized in cultivating their physical bodies such as the Nordic Sacred Bear Brothers, who bore half-demonic blood. Their physiques were unbelievably powerful when activated, they almost took on demonic forms.

Could it be that the goal of the Middle Three Realms was [Demonization]? Including demonification, god ascension, and other transformations?

Lu Jun scratched his head, his vision darkening. For now, all he could do was hand over the data to Professor Yuan for analysis.

Currently, the Beast-Taming Project under his supervision had entered a positive cycle. At last, he had some free time to begin researching the proposed body evolution project.

Once he returned from the National Institute, there should be some results.
