Chapter 284: The Return
Now at least a dozen times stronger than before, Jian Chen’s Saint Force continued to wash over his skin before assimilating into each part of his body.
Jian Chen had completely finished refining his body, but not a single spot of his body had changed physically. If he were to exercise to strengthen his body, then his body would be deformed into a shape he did not want. He would become sturdier and that would completely squash Jian Chen’s preferred build. This type of development was not suitable for what Jian Chen needed.
Not a single swordsman should have a stocky build. A sword user must remain thin and slender. This way, it would be more beneficial for the swordsman to be able to swing in any position with the least amount of power or movement. The way the Azulet Sword Laws had recorded the “Record of Bodily Refinement” would best suit a sword user that fights in the same manner as a fencer.
This method not only strengthened the body without changing the shape of it, but it would continue to strengthen the body. As long as the energy is supplied to the inner body, then the entire body would be strengthened as a whole.
A layer of energy continued to flow over Jian Chen’s body with a sparkling light. After that transformation, the pure energy harmonized with Jian Chen’s body improving his flesh and blood immensely.
The energy from the Class 5 Monster Core would be used in place of his own energy. Strengthening his body required a tremendous amount of energy, since Jian Chen had the monster cores he didn’t need to worry at all about using too much energy. The awkward event that had occurred back in the Changyang Mansion would not happen again.
The process of tempering and refining his body required a longer amount of time. After seven days, Jian Chen had absorbed another two dozen Class 5 Monster Cores before finally finishing. By now, he was at the utmost limit, if he wanted to increase his body any more, then he would have to use his Saint Force to transform it.
On top of the giant stone, Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes from his meditative state as he finally returned to the land of reality. His ears trembled as the sounds of the roar of a wild beast could be heard from some distance away.
Feeling the extreme change in quality in his Saint Force, Jian Chen couldn’t help but have an extremely happy smile on his face. As of today, he had finally made the breakthrough to become an Earth Saint Master, earning his spot as one of the strongest experts on the continent.
“Right now my body is far stronger than before. At this point, I wager that it is at least a dozen times stronger. At this rate, even a Saint couldn’t hope to damage me with his Saint Weapon.” Jian Chen muttered as he poked at his own body a look of joy covered his face as he figured out the results.
Extending his hand, a large concentration of Saint Force began to flow toward Jian Chen’s arm before quickly forming the Light Wind Sword.
When the Light Wind Sword appeared in Jian Chen’s hands, it released an intense light that seemed even sharper than before.
The Light Wind Sword of now did not differ in shape or size. The sword had undergone no physical change other than the increased glow to it. It was almost as if it reflected light as clearly as a mirror could illuminate the area around it.
Suddenly, with a single shake of Jian Chen’s hand, the Light Wind Sword began to shake intensely. With a large sound of a sword moving through the air, a bright silver light came out from the Light Wind Sword and instantly cut all of the surrounding pieces of grass that made contact with it into powder.
