Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 526 - 153: Star Gate Disciples, a Foot Bath Parlor?
The spiritual root needs time to develop.
It also requires ample life force absorption.
Now, with a spiritual power of 46.8, Zhang Lingfeng can guide the spiritual root to absorb more life force, and also use the 41.0 power of the sea of consciousness to send a continuous stream of life force from the dantian sea of qi.
So, Zhang Lingfeng no longer has to worry about whether his spiritual root can grow robustly. How much it can grow depends on the strength of the life force of his dantian sea of qi.
As the existence of 100% dantian sea of qi, Zhang Lingfeng is not actually worried about lacking life force.
Therefore, in the upcoming time period, Zhang Lingfeng is quite at ease.
If, in this month, the spiritual root can absorb enough life force, or if the power absorption reaches its limit, and he can awaken the spiritual root, becoming a genuine realm traveler, he will participate in the continental examination for martial path students.
If not, then he will coast along in life.
After all, if he can’t achieve it, he won’t be too upset; if he does, he won’t be overly excited. He will treat it with a normal mindset, even hastening to become a martial path student for the sake of the Qin Family and Qin Wanrong. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
He hopes to give them a better explanation; otherwise, Zhang Lingfeng wouldn’t be thinking wildly in this direction at all.
"Zhang Lingfeng could even use mental telekinesis to hurt you?"
"He’s become a Destruction Mentalist."
"What, his sea of consciousness value exceeds 40.0?"
Jin Yifei is healing his injuries, and under sufficient life force replenishment, his wounds are quickly restored to their original state. However, the damage to the sea of consciousness is quite troublesome, requiring a combination of consciousness potion to fully recover.
His two companions, Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu, were incredulous when they heard that Zhang Lingfeng’s mental telekinesis had injured him, initially dismissing the rumors as baseless gossip.
They were surprised to find it was true.
Jin Yifei got the short end of the stick in terms of mental telekinesis.
"The Qin Family would do anything to secure an extra slot. Zhang Lingfeng probably used a special consciousness potion."
Jin Yifei found an excuse for himself.
"I just saw Wu Chunsui carrying a jar of consciousness potion to find Zhang Lingfeng. It’s said to be a resource subsidy from the Qin Family, advanced from Wu Chunsui’s side."
Ding Qiang reminded them.
"A whole jar of consciousness potion, Zhang Lingfeng can swallow that? Isn’t he afraid his sea of consciousness will grow excessively, upsetting his internal power balance?"
Chu Chenyu gritted his teeth.
"The Qin Family dares to give him a whole jar of consciousness potion, naturally, they have ways to prevent such things from happening. Besides, once Zhang Lingfeng’s sea of consciousness value approaches 50.0, it can no longer improve rapidly like before.
If it increases too quickly, even if internal balance isn’t disrupted, an invisible shackle would be added, especially for a sea of consciousness formed by relying on consciousness potion."
Jin Yifei mocked.
"Rumor has it that the Qin Family will have two martial path students in the continental examination this year, one is Qin Qianyu, and the other is Zhang Lingfeng. If both of them are selected, the resource subsidies for us will be reduced."
Ding Qiang frowned.
"I heard Li Xiaoshuang is also trying all means to enhance his strength. The number of martial path students in this year’s continental examination might exceed previous years. If the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance increases resource subsidies with the increased number of participants, it’s fine. But if the number increases and the subsidy share remains fixed, I’m worried."
Chu Chenyu was deeply concerned.
"There are only three portions of primordial potion, one for each of us. The more people, the greater the risk."
Ding Qiang reminded.
He hopes Jin Yifei can stop Zhang Lingfeng from becoming a martial path student, preferably preventing Qin Qianyu from becoming one as well in this session.
The primordial potion is a medicinal liquid for seeking origin power, refined from the essence of the Black Wind Demon Lotus, combined with several other precious medicinal materials.
If realm travelers take it in advance, not only can they find origin power faster than others, but they can also more easily become divine realm powerhouses.
Jin Yifei and his two companions have kept a low profile, enduring until this year, just to secure the primordial potion smoothly. Unexpectedly, this year Qin Qianyu and Zhang Lingfeng appeared.
Zhang Lingfeng is still manageable.
The main problem lies with Qin Qianyu; this guy doesn’t heed advice, refuses to wait another year, because Qin Qianyu also knows the earlier you take the primordial potion, the better the effect.
Also, the sooner you participate in the continental examination, the greater the advantage. You never know, you might catch the attention of a Stargate strongman and become one of them.
The so-called Stargate is an entity independent of the Great Xia Kingdom, belonging to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.
In the Basic Star Realm, it not only has supreme rights and status but also controls countless cultivation resources. Even becoming a servant disciple with them is infinitely glorious.
But the conditions for entering Stargate are very stringent.
First, the spiritual root level needs to be within the sixth grade, or at least reach upper grade. Even a top grade spiritual root doesn’t provide an absolute advantage in the eyes of a Stargate powerhouse.
The reason the Qin Family could set up the South Heaven Gate Array isn’t just because of the Talisman Master and Array Master in the Qin Family, but also due to the help from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance. Back when the figure representing the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance appeared, he was from within the Stargate.
The shock he left on the Qin Family remains indelible to this day.
When setting up the South Heaven Gate Array, Qin Qianyu hadn’t been born yet. That was over forty years ago, just as the Great Crossing River Era ended.
The Qin Family’s ancestors witnessed the Stargate powerhouses bringing rain to the skies from the void, and truly experienced what it felt like for the world to be in the control of others.
It was as if, in the hands of others, they were but mere ants.
