At the same time, a star in the sky lit up, and a beam of light enveloped Zhao Xing’s body.
In less than 15 minutes, Zhao Xing felt his body expand.
His bones became thicker, his flesh started to grow, and his whole body ’swelled’.
However, the starlight continued to shine on him, quickly returning him to his normal size.
During this cycle of expansion and contraction, Zhao Xing felt his golden bones become more compact and his meridians become tougher.
An hour later, Zhao Xing completed his training in the Power Essence Pool.
"Not bad, your foundation is solid. The training for Minister of Agriculture is relatively difficult, but you finished quickly." King Heavenly Destiny nodded.
Zhao Xing then leaped toward the second pool.
How could his foundation not be solid? He had consumed numerous Spiritual Beauties and achieved Great Success in golden bones.
Usually, the physique of the Minister of Agriculture was relatively weak, far inferior to that of Martial Artists, so training for Po was tough.
But for Zhao Xing, he didn’t need to endure hardship in the Power Essence Pool.
The second pool was the Qi Pool.
The Qi Pool focused on Primordial Energy, which would directly increase the total amount of Primordial Energy and enhance sustained combat ability.
Before training in Qi Cultivation, Zhao Xing could cast seven spells in one breath. By the seventh spell, he needed a break to catch his breath.
Experts could seize this opportunity in a duel.
So, when Zhao Xing fought, he had to open Fog Concealment to hide while catching his breath.
But after completing Qi enhancement, he could cast seventy spells in one go, without interruption.
"Training in Qi Cultivation took more than two hours and included a herbal bath." King Heavenly Destiny looked at the gradually drying herb pool. "He has cultivated Pure Essence Soil, and his total Primordial Energy is higher than the average person’s."
After training in Qi Cultivation, Zhao Xing’s Pure Essence Soil broke through to level four!
The total area reached 320,000 square meters.
This was one of the benefits brought by Qi enhancement.
Next, Zhao Xing jumped into the Essence Pool and the Heroic Spirit Pool.
The Essence Pool focused on spiritual power, and the Heroic Spirit Pool focused on willpower.
Training these two Po still enhanced the body, but the enhancement was not in energy but in resistance.
Training these two Po mainly strengthened the internal organs, greatly enhancing detoxification and anti-toxin functions, as well as faster wound healing, heat resistance, cold resistance, etc., making his life force tougher.
In gaming terms, training these two Po increased various resistance values.
In the Heavenly Gang Realm and Earthly Evil Realm, the elite two Po were also enhanced, but this time they were more profound and comprehensive.
The subsequent Spirit Wisdom and Spirit Ease enhanced spell comprehension, wisdom, and spiritual will.
The final hurdle was the Central Soul, which offered a comprehensive enhancement.
It took Zhao Xing a total of half a month to complete the training for all seven Po.
Half a month later, Zhao Xing leaped out from the last pool.
His whole body shone with golden light, and his eyes sparkled like electricity.
He had reached the Perfection of the Fourth-rank Realm!
"Not bad, your speed in training Po is fast. Out of this batch of thirty-eight people, you rank ninth." King Heavenly Destiny appeared beside the pool.
"Only ninth?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.
"You are merely a Minister of Agriculture. Ranking ninth is already impressive. Do you still want to rank first?" King Heavenly Destiny smiled. "What about the Martial Artists, then?"
The condition to enter the Dragon Court Ancient Land was to bring a battle beast, so it was not mandatory to be a formal Beast Tamer to participate.
Zhao Xing reckoned that many of the thirty-eight participants were not genuine Beast Tamers.
"Next, you can begin Soul Training," King Heavenly Destiny said leisurely, "Training Po is easy, but training your soul is hard."
"The part of the Divine Soul Seven Stars Map dedicated to Po is only the foundation for Soul Refining."
"Whether you can master the First Level depends on your talent. External aid will be minimal." King Heavenly Destiny said.
Zhao Xing nodded; certain spells and secret techniques could not be assisted by external forces at all.
Items like the Preaching Painting and the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant were useless.
Because the Divine Soul Seven Stars Map was akin to a Preaching Painting, its priority superseded all external aid.
If you couldn’t comprehend the Divine Soul Seven Stars Map, nothing else would be effective.
The country’s National Fate baptism only raised the realm but did not improve spell understanding.
Of course, if you were in the Third Grade Soul Realm, practicing "Derivation God Decision" would slightly reduce the difficulty.
Because as the Life Soul and physical body grew stronger, comprehension of the Dao of heaven and earth became easier.
King Heavenly Destiny led Zhao Xing to the four Magic Walls.
"To comprehend the First Level, there are two methods."
"One is to directly comprehend the Magic Wall, which is safer."
"The second is the Secret Pattern Stars."
"Above the Star Platform, there are seven stars. Once you start to comprehend, your Life Soul will rotate with these seven stars."
King Heavenly Destiny found a button next to the Magic Wall and gently pressed it.
Seven stars immediately emitted a beam of light, rapidly closing in until they filled Zhao Xing’s entire field of vision.
Each star had rings around it, with countless secret patterns, symbols, and images faintly appearing, forming these rings.
The surface of the stars was also engraved with numerous ancient images.
These images were identical to the ones on the first Magic Wall.
"Once you activate this button, your Life Soul will unconsciously follow the rotation."
"It will feel as if seven grinding stones are continuously pulverizing your soul."
"If you can’t bear it, press this button to stop the training immediately."
King Heavenly Destiny waved his hand, and thirty-six green bottles appeared before them.
"This is called Primordial Soul Liquid, with thirty drops in each bottle."
"Extracted from the Ninth-Order Plants ’Primordial Soul Grass’ of the Yin Realm, it can repair the Life Soul."
