Chapter 277 - 152: S+ Grade Martial Arts Spirituality, The Third Stage
Her voice was flat.
With that, Yin Liulan turned off the surveillance feed.
...
「Inside the Spirit Core Hall.」
Zhang Daoxuan gave Lin Ye and Dongfang Zhen a slight nod, then turned and left.
He had no reason to stay any longer.
Lin Ye sat down on a meditation cushion, waiting quietly for Dongfang Zhen.
’After all, they came here together. It wouldn’t be right for me to leave first.’
Dongfang Zhen didn’t stand on ceremony either. He walked under the All-Seeing Instrument and began his own potential stimulation and spirituality enhancement.
VMMMM—
The instant he sat down, the All-Seeing Instrument once again let out a violent roar. The three rings blazed with light, and the device jumped straight to full power.
Lin Ye watched intently.
He saw fine, blue-purple arcs of electricity begin to appear on Dongfang Zhen’s exposed arms, neck, and face.
The arcs appeared out of nowhere, growing denser until they wove into a crackling web across his skin!
Amid the crackling, the faint sound of rolling thunder filled the air. A wave of scorching heat washed over Lin Ye, making his skin sting.
’So Dongfang Zhen creates a phenomenon when he uses the All-Seeing Instrument, too!’
Eventually, Dongfang Zhen’s body began to turn illusory, as if he were about to transform into a storm of Frenzy-filled lightning!
Half an hour later, the All-Seeing Instrument slowly came to a halt.
Dongfang Zhen opened his eyes. The crackling electricity instantly receded, returning to his soul and body, and the feeling of him being an ionized, virtual entity vanished.
Seeing that Lin Ye was still waiting, he stood up and smiled. "I made a lot of progress with my spirituality enhancement this time."
He seemed to notice Lin Ye’s confusion and took the initiative to explain.
"Besides rarity, Martial Arts Spirituality is also graded by its level of development."
"All nations have categorized the types of Martial Arts Spirituality and established five levels of development: Level One is Initial Appearance, Level Two is Resonance, Level Three is Domain, Level Four is Mimicry, and Level Five is Zenith."
"Take my Martial Arts Spirituality, for instance. It’s innate. When I first awakened it, I could only release a faint electrical current. That’s considered Level One: Initial Appearance."
"And now, I’m about to reach the threshold of Level Four: Mimicry."
Lin Ye’s mind reeled.
’If he reaches Level Five, Zenith... does that mean Dongfang Zhen can completely transform his body into lightning?’
’What kind of attack could possibly hurt him then?’
’What could possibly keep up with his speed?’
He subconsciously glanced at Dongfang Zhen’s potential rating on the light screen.
As expected, the rarity rating for Dongfang Zhen’s Martial Arts Spirituality was also an S.
It wasn’t S+, but it was a Martial Arts Spirituality that had been fully awakened and developed to an extremely high level.
’As for me... all I have right now is the potential.’
After leaving the Spirit Core Hall, the two walked side by side.
After a while, Dongfang Zhen suddenly stopped and looked toward a spot on the mountainside.
Lin Ye followed his gaze.
There, under the night sky, stood a simple, nine-story stone tower. Even from a great distance, he could feel its oppressive aura.
"Mr. Lin, I’ve always been curious about what’s inside the Nirvana Tower. It’s still early, want to go check it out together?"
Lin Ye nodded. "Sure."
He was interested in the tower as well.
He still hadn’t familiarized himself with all the buildings and facilities in the training camp, so he wanted to take advantage of his initial excitement to explore everything.
Before long, the two arrived at the base of the tower.
As they got closer, they noticed more details.
The entire tower was constructed from massive, dark gray stones. Its body was covered in the marks of wind and rain, giving it an ancient, weathered look.
Every window-like opening was completely sealed with thick stone slabs and metal grates, leaving only narrow slits through which an unsettling gloom seeped.
Four training camp instructors with stern auras stood guard at the entrance.
"Halt, you two trainees."
One of the instructors held out a hand to stop them.
"The Nirvana Tower is not open to you yet. Come back in a week!"
"Not for another week?"
Dongfang Zhen was a little disappointed.
He was already a veteran of actual combat, with quite a few members of the Celestial Abyss Race having died by his hand. He’d been hoping to take advantage of his newly enhanced spirituality and his itch for a fight to go in and practice on a few of them.
It looked like he’d have to head back.
However, at that moment, a notification sound suddenly echoed in Lin Ye’s mind, shaking him to the core!
[Ding! Host has discovered the final Lord of the current area!]
[Special Phased Mission issued!]
[Mission: The Molten Heart!]
[Description: In the shadow of the tower lies imprisoned a wrath from the Otherworld. The lava has never cooled; its heart still burns, waiting to break its shackles and turn all to ash.]
[Go! Before it regains its freedom, turn its power into your ladder to the top!]
[Objective: Enter the Nirvana Tower and kill the LV. 45 Molten Demon Lord, Balan!]
[Reward: 500,000 EXP, 15 Skill Points, New Phase Unlocked: P3!]
’The unlock mission for Phase 3... It’s finally here!’
Lin Ye snapped his head up, his gaze piercing the darkness, fixed on the top of the nine-story stone tower. At that moment, his expression turned more fanatical than ever before.
