Chapter 252 - A Blessing in Disguise (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Spirit Transformation Realm was only the second grade among the nine grades of the superhuman cultivation system and could only be considered to be the middle stage of Earth Realm, so it was only average. But in the superhuman circle, if they were to use a rather professional phrase to describe this realm, it would be “a village mayor was still a government officer even if his rank is low.”
Superhumans were found only one in a hundred, so one-star superhumans or even broken-star superhumans were very rare.
And there were plenty of people who were stuck at Spirit Tattoo Realm even after they had cultivated for four years in their university.
If anyone could reach two stars soon after their awakening, it meant that they had the potential to continue growing.
Once they entered society, if they were two-star superhumans, they would definitely be referred to as elites.
And when it came to corporations, they would definitely be able to get the position of project managers.
In the military, it would be very easy for them to get a position of a platoon commander.
Qin Hu had spent five years to become a two-star superhuman.
And how long did Meng Chao take? Five months?
“He’s not a normal two-star superhuman,” Lu Siya said with a solemn expression. “I’ve never seen a monster like him before!”
Qin Hu looked in the direction of her gaze and saw Meng Chao’s body shining with flowing light. His spirit tattoos looked as if they were alive as they traveled through his body. They enveloped and nourished his organs, and he instantly understood what she meant.
Usually, after a superhuman awakened to supernatural abilities, unless it was absolutely necessary, it was impossible for them to clear all 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians.
It was just like how it was impossible for top-class martial artists on Earth to learn all the martial arts on Earth.
There were further specializations within every field, and the time, energy, and resources they had did not allow the superhumans to develop in all areas.
Even if the rich children had been bathing in superbeast blood since young, ate a lot of valuable resources, and were incredibly talented, just like Sun Ya of Agricultural University’s martial arts course, they still faced limitations, even if they cleared nearly one hundred main meridians.
Most of the superhumans had enough main meridians cleared once they cleared sixty main meridians.
During the process of moving from a one-star superhuman to a two-star superhuman, a superhuman used spirit energy to repeatedly refine around ten of the most important and commonly used main meridians among the dozens they had cleared. Then, once they were crystallized, their volume runoff and strength would continue increasing.
During the process of moving from a two-star superhuman to a three-star superhuman, the superhuman used the ten crystalized spirit meridians to strengthen certain organs. It could be the heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, some bones, muscles, and nerves. Those organs would then gradually gain the crystallized quality and turn into something that was semi-energy, semi-material.
Once they reached Heaven Realm, their vitality magnetic field would become stronger. Then, they could use the strengthened organs to target certain parts in the brain and activate all sorts of amazing divine abilities.
This was a scientific cultivation method that humans had figured out after decades of research. It was considered to be the traditional cultivation method since it was stable and had a high chance of success.
Even those who reached Deity Realm were not omnipotent. They placed emphasis on certain things, such as certain organs, certain sulci, and certain regions in the brain to strengthen. It was impossible for them to be invincible in all areas.
There were quite a number of life science scientists who had imagined a superhuman perfecting each realm before advancing forward to the next.
When they were one-star superhumans, they cleared all 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians.
When they were two-star superhumans, they crystallized all their spirit meridians and turned them into the incredibly powerful crystal meridians.
When they were three-star superhumans, they turned all their organs, muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves into something that gave off the partial presence of pure energy.
If they continued like that and reached Deity Realm, how strong would they be?
In the end, however, they came up with the conclusion that it was impossible.
Even if they poured all the cultivation resources in the Other World and Dragon City on one superhuman with extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for such a thing to happen.
They lacked one resource that they could not lack—time.
Time treated everyone fairly.
Even if a person had extraordinary talent, was born with a silver spoon, was loved and supported by powerful families, they would only have twenty-four hours a day and would not have an extra second more or less than a poor person.
No one could obtain twice the time.
And no one could live twice.
No one could reach absolute perfection either.
But in Lu Siya and Qin Hu’s eyes, at that moment, Meng Chao was closer to perfection than any other superhuman they had ever seen.
Or perhaps it was because they did not have a lot of knowledge of the world and had never heard of any peerless elite in Dragon City who were able to shine with such radiance while they were one-star superhumans or two-star superhumans and ran into an accident like Meng Chao.
Both of them had complicated emotions in their hearts.
Suddenly, Meng Chao grunted and took half a step forward.
One spirit flame instantly crept into the small cave from the crack behind him.
The temperature in the cave immediately climbed up by at least five degrees Celsius.
It was only then that the two realized just what terrifying power Meng Chao was currently blocking.
“We have to go back!” Lu Siya moved forward. “We have to help Meng Chao!”
“There’s… There’s no need for that, right?” Qin Hu said hesitantly. “He’s being really brave. He can withstand the spirit energy tsunami alone. I really can’t handle it. I’m weak…”
