Chapter 161: Departure (1/2)

”Do you understand?”

”Yes!”

”Good.”

Seeing the grave expression on Sui Wenyan's face, Wenren Yu understood that there was something wrong. But as for what it was, he had no idea in the slightest bit. He also had no guts to ask Sui Wenyan when her face was that dark.

While Wenren Yu didn't know because the man used to only stay to study medicine, Sui Wenyan was very clear of this matter. Human's strength was divided from one to twelve with one being the weakest. Normal people would be only around 3 while children were 1 or 2. If they were cultivator, their strength would increase.

Body Training was referring to their training of their body strength, which would increase. Once they reached Body Training Rank 6, their body strength usually increased to 4, which was also the threshold for them to advance in their training. Because of this, Body Training Rank 6 had become the upper line for many sects to accept disciples.

Without reaching Body Training Rank 6, their body was simply too weak.

When they reached the peak of Body Training Stage, they would be increased to 6, which was also the requirement for them to become Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It was the weakest line and also what most people aimed. They would reach 5 by the time they reached Body Training Rank 9, which was also the strength of majority people at Body Training Rank 10.

To increase even one would require bitter training for days and hours. The only method to create a shortcut was through medicinal bath that would increase their strength exponentially.

The increase of each of this number was double the previous one. Because of that, it was hard for them to even increase one number.

Before this, Sui Wenyan had gauged that Lin Xiao was around 7 or maybe nearing 8. But for someone who wanted to become the Emperor, this strength was simply not enough. He had to make sure that the was much stronger than many others. Even other princes didn't usually make their break through to Foundation Establishment before they reached 9 or possibly 10 to obtain better foundation.

But Wenren Yu had just told her that Lin Xiao's strength increased to 12, which was basically the peak. The number 12 was only there because in history, there was someone who reached it. But to recreate his legend was simply too hard.

No one would be insane enough to stay in Body Training Rank 10 for years just to obtain the strength of 12.

There was golden time for them to advance to Foundation Establishment and no one wanted to miss the time. Thanks to that, those who wanted to reach the peak usually used some outer sources such as medicines and some methods to be able to increase their body strength rapidly.

Sui Wenyan herself knew that her physical strength was only hovering between 8 and 9. She would still grow stronger as long as she trained herself, but the progress wouldn't be that quick anymore because her focus had shifted to train her Qi.

The medicine bath would usually help cultivators to increase their strength to 8, which was already good enough for majority of them. After all, it was already far above the passing line for them to make their breakthrough.

Both Lin Yun and Wenren Yu were already at 6, but to be save, it would be better for them to wait until they reached 7. The chances of people failing to advance to Foundation Establishment at strength 6 was too much and not many people wanted to advance at such low strength.

It would be a bit embarrassing.
