Even if youāre a shield genius... once the shield is broken, you become extremely vulnerable. So the timing of reinforcing the shield becomes a combat philosophy.
The mentors looked troubled: "Improving physical strength is like reaching for the stars. Humanity hasnāt found a similar cultivation technique. All we can do is train the body, allowing a cultivator to have decent physical stamina, but itās far from the strength needed to unlock Tier Two abilities..."
The principal rubbed his temples, equally troubled: "So difficult. If there were a solution, it would have been implemented long ago. Gravity training only enhances stamina and root bone capabilities."
"Speaking of using true blood on little Yu Heng... can it enhance physical strength? Like with little Liuli..."
Xu Ran shook his head: "No, it definitely wonāt work. Her situation and Tiger Girlās are polar opposites. When the celestial punishment phenomenon occurs, Tiger Girlās root bone is exceptionally strong; it absorbs all power to sustain itself, so the true blood is drained before it can wreak havoc."
"Little Yu Heng canāt. Even if she uses true blood, it will only cause destruction and wonāt be absorbed by her root bone. Her root bone requires internal power."
The principal was worried: "Then what should we do? Obviously, her root bone has immense potential, but sheās gradually falling behind because her physical strength is lacking..."
"Iāve thought of many plans with friends, but none are reliable in the end."
Seeing the principalās anxious expression, Zhu Yuheng bit her lip. She realized the gravity of the situation and felt very downcast...
Xu Ran spread his hands, looking helpless: "Weāll just have to train slowly. Perhaps reaching the Yue Realm could awaken her Tier Two abilities."
The principal sighed: "What about the national selection competition..."
Tiger Girl suddenly pumped her fist: "Iāll choose her when the time comes!"
The principal smiled wryly: "You, you need to make it to the top ten first! Only the top ten can be team captains."
Tiger Girlās fighting spirit soared, her golden eyes shining brightly: "With my battle prowess, Iāll definitely be in the top ten!"
Xu Ran patted Tiger Girl on the head: "Thatās hard to say, youāre two months younger than me."
Tiger Girl, unwilling to accept defeat, pushed Xu Ranās hand away: "Iāll definitely make it to the top ten. No, Iāll take the first place!"
Xu Ran: "Can you beat me?"
Tiger Girlās fighting spirit-filled golden eyes suddenly lost their luster. In her mind, a towering image of Xu Ran with his legion standing behind him appeared, along with the terrifying sight of him catching a golden tower with his bare hands...
Big Brother Xu Ran hadnāt even used his mysterious blade technique yet...
Tiger Girl drooped her head: "How could this be..."
Tiger Girlās entrepreneurial spirit collapsed halfway due to a crisis of her Dao Heart.
Zhu Yuheng: "..." She felt pitiful and found the commotion around Xu Ran and Tiger Girl overwhelming. However, she forced a warm smile: "Iām okay, Iāll work hard. I donāt need anyone to specifically choose or take care of me!"
Though she seemed gentle and weak, she had a proud spirit.
The principal suddenly brightened up: "Xu Ran, how about you take two or three days to create a cultivation method to enhance physical strength?"
Xu Ran: "..."
Doing wishful thinking too often, huh?
"I donāt have that ability."
The principal stubbornly insisted: "You could. You can try now... Youāre a miracle root bone!"
Xu Ran: "I really donāt have it."
He had considered trying, but High-level Comprehension couldnāt create spiritual cultivation methods or physical cultivation methods. It could only improve Qi Blood cultivation methods based on existing knowledgeāHigh-level Comprehension is just the Second Sequence, far from being invincible.
The principal despondently mumbled: "Then... maybe thereās no solution?"
With only a mediocre All Things Stagnation, it would be difficult to rank in the national Godslaying Squad selection, let alone join...
Zhu Yuheng smiled resolutely: "Principal, Iāll strive to improve. Donāt worry about me!"
Xu Ran looked at Zhu Yuheng.
A dangerous thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Actually, he might have a way to attempt to solve Zhu Yuhengās predicament, but itās extremely, extremely dangerous.
Yes.
Xu Ran possessed a resource that could temper the body, allowing it to undergo nirvana and step into an invincible physical realm, like Tiger Girlās golden tower which even the toughest could shatter but Xu Ran could catch bare-handed.
So strong!
So fierce!
It consumes no Qi Blood!
With just his physical strength, Xu Ran could easily overpower Tiger Girl. He was merely playing with Tiger Girl earlier.
And the source of this invincible physical power is the super resource refined by the Slaughter HeartāEternal Flame.
Could it be given to Zhu Yuheng?
Xu Ran hesitated.
The danger level of the Eternal Flame is extremely high.
One wrong move, and one could perish.
How did Xu Ran persist?
Three innate baptisms increased his life limit + limb regeneration + Slaughter Heart!
The conditions for invincibility are extraordinarily harsh! Xu Ran canāt risk harming Zhu Yuheng with them.
Zhu Yuhengās body is inherently weak, and if the Eternal Flame scorches it, she might turn to ashes...
Of course.
If she could endure it, Zhu Yuhengās physical strength could improve significantly, and her Time Root Bone Tier Two ability might manifest...
But...
The risk is too significant!
Even in the most optimistic estimation, the success rate might be less than 5%...
And whatās even more terrifyingāthe Eternal Flame is not a toy, once used, there are only two paths: endure or die, with no room for compromise.
Xu Ran shook his head slightly.
But Zhu Yuhengās beautiful blue eyes were fixed squarely on Xu Ran.
"You... you seem to have a way... could you tell me? Even if itās very dangerous, Iām willing to try..."
