Chapter 15 - Enlightenment Stage
In the cultivation chamber.
Ruan Xiude sat cross-legged on the praying mat and activated the Jade Tempering Arts.
The Jade Tempering Arts was a medium grade fifth rank Body Forging martial arts that he had copied from Ruan Yongsi.
This was suitable for Body Refining Stage and Enlightenment Stage cultivation.
Moreover, it could bring a few times more strength than those of the same level.
However, it required a lot of cultivation resources.
Fortunately, Ruan Xiude had enough cultivation resources.
Suddenly, a breeze spread out with Ruan Xiude as the center, bringing with it a weak sound.
Ruan Xiude slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Void in front of him.
“Divine Level Duplication System.”
“Host: Ruan Xiude.”
“Level: Early period of the Enlightenment Stage.”
“Talent: Supreme grade cultivation talent, medium grade strength talent, low grade speed talent, attribute talent (low grade Sharp Gold, low grade Crimson Fire, low grade Earth, low grade Heavy Water, low grade Gale), low grade saber talent.”
“Martial arts: Golden Flame Mantra (Medium grade fifth rank, Small Completion), Scarlet Flame Saber Technique (Medium grade fifth rank, Small Completion) and Jade Shattering Art (Medium grade fifth rank, Small Completion). Gold Splitting Fist (Medium grade fifth rank, Low grade, Great Completion). Wandering Crossing (Medium grade fifth rank, Low grade, great completion) …”
“Energy points: 17.9 thousand.”
[Walkspace: 21.]
Ruan Xiude looked at the attribute panel that had changed greatly. He felt the surging strength in his body and smiled.
In the past half month, he had been constantly cultivating the Jade Tempering Arts to train his physique and raise his cultivation level.
He had finally broken through from the ninth layer of the Body Refining to the early period of the Enlightenment Stage.
This could be considered as a waste.
He felt that his physique was several times stronger than the Body Refining Peak. Ruan Xiude's smile became even wider.
“Three days later, it will be the Four Major Forces Competition. I don't know how many acupuncture points I can open in these three days.”
Ruan Xiude muttered in a low voice.
The process of opening the acupuncture points in the body was the process of breaking through to the Enlightenment Stage.
The more acupuncture points he opened, the stronger his strength would be.
This time, because the grade of the Body Forging martial arts was very high, plus the extraordinary cultivation talent.
This time, he also consolidated his cultivation after breaking through.
After that, Ruan Xiude continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
Time flew by.
Three days passed in a flash.
In the morning.
The warm sunlight penetrated through the window.
In the cultivation chamber.
Ruan Xiude slowly got up.
“I have opened twelve acupuncture points.”
Ruan Xiude felt that his physique was several times stronger than three days ago. His face was full of smiles.
He did not know if it was because the competition was approaching and he needed to increase his strength.
Or was it because of something else?
In the past three days, Ruan Yueya did not come to look for him.
He could not go to the Third Elder's residence.
Thus, he used these three days to cultivate in seclusion.
He actually broke through continuously, opening twelve acupuncture points.
His strength had also increased by several times.
With such strength, Ruan Xiude was even more confident in the upcoming Four Major Forces Competition.
It was a pity that he had used up all of the resources that he had originally given him as the chief disciple and the pills and spirit medicines he had duplicated.
After that, Ruan Xiude tidied up his clothes and left the courtyard. He then walked towards the Combat Arena.
Today was the day of the Four Major Forces Competition, and there would also be martial artists from the Drifting Cloud Sect coming to recruit disciples.
All of the younger generation of the Ruan family would gather at the Combat Arena.
They would be led by the Patriarch to the Lord's Mansion to participate in the competition.
Ruan Xiude had already been informed by the old butler.
Not long after, he arrived.
Ruan Xiude raised his eyebrows and looked around with surprise.
He had thought that he had come early.
He didn't expect that he would still arrive a little late.
At this moment, there were already a lot of disciples gathered in the Combat Arena.
Even the upper echelons of the Ruan family, the Patriarch, the Head Elder, and the Third Elder had arrived.
When the disciples saw Ruan Xiude, they all looked over with respect.
They took the initiative to make a path for him.
Ruan Xiude walked straight ahead.
As the chief disciple, besides the upper echelons of the Ruan family this time, he was also the captain. He needed to walk in front.
He came to the front.
“Brother Ruan.”
Ruan Yueya, who was standing beside Ruan Yongsi, chuckled. She came to Ruan Xiude's side and hugged his arm.
“Yueya.”
Ruan Xiude also smiled.
When Ruan Yongsi saw this, he revealed a helpless expression.
As for Head Elder Ruan Rui, Head Elder, and the other higher-ups of the Ruan family, their attention was different.
“Ruan Xiude, you broke through to the Enlightenment Stage?”
Suddenly, Ruan Rui's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed.
In an instant, everyone's gaze was focused on Ruan Xiude.
“Yes.”
Ruan Xiude nodded with an indifferent expression.
In an instant, the scene fell silent.
Then, it became noisy again.
A large number of gasps sounded.
“He broke through to the Enlightenment stage? How is that possible?”
“It has only been less than a month!”
“Previously, he was at the seventh layer of the Body Refining, but now he has broken through to the Enlightenment Stage.”
Everyone on the scene was discussing animatedly, looking at Ruan Xiude in disbelief.
This was because his cultivation speed had almost exceeded their imagination.
Even the Head Elder and the other higher-ups of the Ruan family revealed shocked expressions.
This kind of cultivation speed had also exceeded their expectations.
Originally, they thought that it would be good enough for Ruan Xiude to reach the ninth layer of the Body Refining in half a month.
But now, when Ruan Xiude arrived, he had already reached the Enlightenment Stage.
Moreover, his strength had clearly stabilized.
Obviously, he had broken through for a period of time.
Instantly, the higher-ups of the Ruan family were even more shocked.
Ruan Yingfa, who was beside the Head Elder, was also stunned on the spot. His eyes were wide open in disbelief.
When he heard the commotion on the scene, he finally came back to his senses.
With a look of fear in his eyes, he hurriedly hid behind the Head Elder, afraid that Ruan Xiude would notice him.
In order to enter the top ten in the Large Competition, he had to obtain a place.
For the past half a month, the Head Elder had given him a lot of precious pills to help him increase his cultivation.
He had also successfully broken through to the ninth layer of the Body Refining Stage.
Originally, he thought that this would be enough to fight against Ruan Xiude, who was at the seventh layer of Body Refining.
In the end, Ruan Xiude had already broken through from the seventh layer of the Body Refining to the Enlightenment Stage.
He had never heard of such a terrifying cultivation speed before. He really did not dare to believe it.
But even the Patriarch had admitted this, so how could this be a fake?
At this moment, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to admit it.
The difference between the Enlightenment Stage and the Body Refining Stage was extremely huge.
Moreover, when Ruan Xiude was at the seventh layer of the Body Refining, he was able to defeat Ruan Huan, who was at the ninth layer of the Body Refining.
At this moment, he had broken through to the Enlightenment Stage, so his strength must have increased by a lot.
He could not be Ruan Xiude's opponent.
The thought of fighting Ruan Xiude disappeared in an instant.
He quietly hid behind the Head Elder, praying that Ruan Xiude would not notice him.
Although Ruan Huan, the Head Elder, and the other higher-ups of the Ruan family were present, Ruan Yingfa knew that it was impossible for Ruan Xiude to attack him.
But at this moment, he had already been scared by Ruan Xiude's cultivation speed. He only wanted to hide from Ruan Xiude.
