Chapter 14: An Alternative Form of Mana Immunity

Time flew by, and with each passing day, another half a year went by.

Lin Fan was only a hair's breadth away from what was generally considered the Blood Moving Realm Peak, capable of lifting over 90,000 catties with one arm. He was almost successful, rivaling the young Vicious Beasts of the Primordial Era.

For the Human Race, which was inherently weaker than other races, this was incredibly difficult.

Their small and delicate bodies relied on Acquired growth, step by step, requiring immense and unimaginable effort, unlike other races that could achieve it with ease.

However, Lin Fan seemed to discover that he was not like this at all. He progressed very smoothly on the path to the Blood Moving Realm Peak, not finding it difficult. He even felt that the so-called Peak was very simple, achievable by simply following the steps.

His body was like a treasure trove, and cultivation was the key. Once opened, Qi and blood surged out like thunder, constantly growing stronger, like a True Dragon emerging from the sea.

Moreover, he felt that even upon reaching the Peak, he could continue to grow and Breakthrough with ease, without feeling any obstruction or fatigue.

“Could it be that this Physical Body of mine has some special Physique or Bloodline?” Lin Fan murmured to himself while comfortably soaking in the Immortal Pond, feeling a bit unreal. This speed was a bit too fast.

His starting point was already later than others, and even soaking in the Crossing Tribulation Divine Lotus Pond every day, it was impossible to reach this stage in just over a year. It was astonishingly fast, more than a year faster than the little baby in his memories.

One must know that the little baby was the destined protagonist, whose cultivation speed was like a cheat, steadily breaking through the Peak. Lin Fan compared himself to the little baby; he was only a little over five years old now.

Not to mention the distant past, even the Celestial Immortal Academy's current Prodigy, Feng Wu, was quite a bit slower than him. He heard that she had only recently reached the Blood Moving Realm Peak, and she was almost two years older than him, yet many considered her very fast.

The Blood Moving Realm was different from other Realms. As the first Realm of cultivation, due to various reasons—young age, Qi and blood not yet reaching the Peak of a living being's Physical Body—it took a lot of time to reach the Peak at a young age.

Most Prodigies could only wield 100,000 catties of strength with one arm at eight or nine years old, some even longer, and still couldn't achieve it. This was true for all except a few races with Innate talent.

“I wonder who my parents are. Otherwise, how could they have given me such a powerful treasure Physique? Could it really be as Ye Qingxian said, that I popped out of a rock?” Lin Fan was puzzled.

Generally speaking, the birth of a Prodigy and the Innate strength of a living being are related to their ancestral Bloodline.

Especially for the Human Race, if there were no powerful ancestors, their descendants would be like ordinary people.

For example, the little baby and Shi Yi, who had dual pupils, were able to become Prodigies because of their Bloodline returning to its ancestral state, being descendants of the Seven Kings of Guancheng. Other Prodigies were basically the same, unless they were Innate beings.

“Ye Qingxian never speaks the truth; she teases me all day. I even thought she was my mother at first.”

Lin Fan was indignant. He was certain he was a Human Race member, not some other being transformed or an Immortal Metal spirit.

He was quite curious about his origins. In his previous life, he was an orphan with no family, so he always held a bit of hope.

However, the first person he met after his Transmigration was Ye Qingxian, and she claimed he was picked up from a junkyard, never speaking a word of truth.

“Achoo!”

“Is someone talking about me?” In the depths of the No Man's Land, Ye Qingxian touched her upturned nose.

She wasn't speaking idly; when a person's cultivation reached a certain level, they would have a mysterious sensation… The Immortal Pond glowed, its clear waters rippled, and mist swirled. A small figure suddenly appeared before Lin Fan.

This was a delicate Little Loli, about seven or eight years old, with an unremarkable figure, just beginning to bud. However, it was clear that she would be a beauty in the future.

“Oh, there’s a younger sister than me in the Academy. How cute! What's your name?” The Little Loli's childish voice asked in surprise, as if she had seen something new, her large eyes clear and lively.

“Hello, Senior Sister, my name is Ye Xian,” Lin Fan replied crisply and naturally, clearly not for the first time.

However, he only glanced at her and then lost interest. He had no feelings for lolis; even if she became a stunning woman in the future, that was a matter for the future.

He was a Cao Wei enthusiast, not belonging to Eastern Wu.

“Ye Xian, what a lovely name. Are you from Elder Ye’s family?”

The Little Loli smiled brightly and boldly, not shy at all. She even reached out and pinched Lin Fan’s face, which surprised and amused him.

“Where did this Little Loli come from, just laying hands on me?” Lin Fan helplessly reminded her, “Senior Sister, please don’t pinch my face. It’s very rude.”

“Oh dear, I’m sorry, Little Sister Ye Xian!” The Little Loli apologized verbally, but her hand didn't stop, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.

“So soft, so bouncy. No wonder the Senior Sisters like to rub my face; it’s really addictive.”

The little girl became engrossed, pinching and rubbing, stretching Lin Fan’s young boyish face.

“Senior Sister, stop quickly! You’ll ruin it!”

Lin Fan pulled away her fair little hand. He couldn't stand this Little Loli. Why did she suddenly start touching him for no reason?

If it were a mature beauty, it would be one thing, but he didn't like little girls who hadn't even fully grown.

“Don’t be stingy! I’ll just rub a little longer!” The Little Loli smiled, as if seeing a treasure, still wanting more.

Usually, it was the Senior Sisters who rubbed her, so it was rare to meet someone younger than herself. Discovering new territory, she naturally couldn't resist.

“Hmph! Senior Sister, we don’t seem to be very familiar yet. I don’t even know your name,” Lin Fan turned his head away coldly, feigning anger, not wanting to bother with this little girl.

At the same time, if he hadn't seen how extraordinary and noble this Little Loli was, and knowing he would frequent this place, not wanting to draw attention, he would have punched her until she cried.

“You’re right!” The Little Loli also realized it was their first meeting, but immediately became very familiar, saying, “My name is Feng Wu. Aren’t we acquainted now?”

The exquisitely carved and adorable Feng Wu extended her mischievous hand again, wanting to torment Lin Fan’s face, but it was mercilessly batted away.

If Lin Fan wasn't a Prodigy, he might have had some interest in this little girl Feng Wu and looked at her a bit more. But now, he had none. She was too young, too straight. She wasn't worth cherishing at this moment.

With this free time, wouldn’t it be better to look at a few more big white rabbits?

“Hehe, Little Sister, you have quite a temper, but you can’t escape today. Since you’ve met me, just let me rub you a couple of times!” Feng Wu’s gaze was cunning, very confident, and stubborn.

For some reason, the more the other party resisted, the more excited she became, and the more she wanted to rub that soft, tender face. The sensation was simply superb.

“Oh, really? Then Senior Sister, you try. If you can touch my face again, I’ll let you rub it as much as you want today!” Lin Fan, instead of being angry at her almost perverse hobby, laughed. He also wanted to compete with someone who was also a Prodigy.

Even if he could only fight with his Physical Body, unable to use precious arts for attack, he still wanted to see how far he could go with just his Physical Body.

Furthermore, he had recently gained a deeper understanding and development of his Supreme Bone. It not only assimilated the precious arts he used into healing arts but could also assimilate those of his opponents.

In other words, his opponent's runic precious arts, when used on him, would also only be a healing art.

From now on, anyone who fought him would only be able to rely on their Physical Body. Who would be afraid then? It was equivalent to an alternative form of Mana immunity.
