Chapter 209: Intermediate Warlord

The first-level forces read Lin Yao’s information, and so did the second-level forces.

It could not be helped. Although Lin Yao’s information was supposed to be highly confidential, there were even more powerful people in the University of Monster Science and Technology.

After reading through his information, they did not look down on Lin Yao, but they thought it was a pity.

“He has amazing physical talents, especially in the area of cultivation. However, he is hindered by his poor comprehension ability. One can’t have any shortcomings to be a king.”

“This is just nice. There’s a chance for us now that he has flaws.”

They wanted to recruit king seedlings, but it was difficult to win them over. Lin Yao was considered the best genius one level lower than a king seedling, so he was the best choice for them.

Lin Yao had caused an uproar in the University of Monster Science and Technology and he had attracted the attention of some powerful forces.

Although this set off an uproar among the students, it quickly subsided. Soon, news of the Hidden Dragons list battle circulated in the university, and many people’s attention immediately shifted to the Hidden Dragons list.

The so-called Hidden Dragons list was the country’s ranking of youths, which referred to hidden dragons in the abyss. This ranking included all the youths in the entire country. All martial artists who had not graduated from university and had not become a gold warlord could participate in it.

There was a total of 108 places on the list. The people who could make the list had diamond talents. Even if they did not have diamond talent before being on the list, as long as they were on the list, they would be recognized as diamond geniuses, and the country would give them diamond subsidies.

The battle between diamond geniuses was more interesting than Lin Yao, who was merely a young martial artist.

While there were constant waves of uproar outside, Lin Yao slept for one or two hours until the sun was about to set before he woke up again.

Opening his eyes and moving his body, Lin Yao felt power gushing out of his body, and at the same time, the speed of the vital energy cyclone had increased rapidly.

‘This feeling… Could it be…’

Sitting up happily, Lin Yao closed his eyes and relied on accelerated thinking to look inwardly at his physical condition. After a long while, he opened his eyes again with a smile on his face.

‘I am now an intermediate warlord.’

Yes, he was an intermediate warlord. Although his last advancement had occurred only a little more than a week ago, he relied on cultivation speed equal to or even higher than a king’s to cultivate to an intermediate warlord in about seven days.

‘No, it’s not seven days. Out of these seven days, I spent three days on an armored train. I only spent four days training. However, I absorbed a lot of energy when I advanced. At the time of the advancement, there was already a 15% increase. Strictly speaking, I can advance to the next stage in about seven to eight days.’

High-level gold warlords would require comprehension ability, but it was not required of ordinary warlords. Nevertheless, there was still a gap between this level and the lowest-level martial artists.

First of all, if a warlord wanted to advance to an intermediate warlord, their physical fitness had to increase to Silver Person 30%. For an advanced warlord, it would be 60%, and for a peak warlord, it would be 90%. While improving his physical fitness, he also needed to absorb spirit energy and increase his control of the vital energy cyclone.

Needless to say, the benefit of absorbing spirit energy was increasing the amount of vital energy stored in the body so that warlords like Lin Yao could have better endurance.

As for having better control, it was meant to increase the rotation speed of vital energy. The benefits of this were obvious. The formation of a vital energy cyclone from vital energy seeds was considered evolution.

Vital energy seeds could only be formed when the martial artist actively absorbed spirit energy and integrated it with aura and blood. This made it impossible for the martial artist to recover during the battle, and he could only sit and rest after the battle.

As for the vital energy cyclone, when it was spinning, it would automatically absorb spirit energy to replenish itself.

The faster the cyclone rotated, the stronger its absorption power was, which was of great benefit to the vital energy recovery and cultivation of the martial artist.

What a warlord needed to do was train the body, increase the amount of vital energy cyclones, and accelerate the rotating speed of the vital energy cyclone.

This was not an easy task for warlords from ordinary families. Obtaining spirit energy was the most difficult part. The city was safe. However, due to the large number of people, the spirit energy was not as pure. Martial artists could still train in such an environment, but warlords would not be able to advance and could only maintain their current level.

If one wanted to train safely and quickly, there were two choices. One option was the spirit energy gathering array, and the other option was the mystic realm.

However, this required a lot of money and the usage of spirit energy crystals, and one had to use them every day. This was not something that ordinary warlords could afford.

Therefore, most warlords with a burning will would not wait around in the city but choose a few places to go.

One option was to join the national forces. Every city had a state-built spirit energy gathering array, and warlords who joined the national forces could practice there.

Of course, they needed to devote time and energy to work for the people.

The second option was to go to the uninhabited wild or follow the army into the mystic realm. There were no rules and restrictions. One could find benefits in the mystic realm, but there were obviously risks involved.

In Lin Yao’s opinion, this could be easily resolved.

The spirit energy might be impure, but Lin Yao could absorb electricity and sunlight to replenish the cyclone. When the Electricity-Absorbing Physique was activated and the Armored Body Of Light reached LV7, he no longer needed to actively train his vital energy. The cyclone would automatically replenish the amount of energy that the body could withstand.

As for the rotation speed of the cyclone, it was dependent on one’s control of it, which was related to mental strength.

Lin Yao’s mental strength was fairly powerful. After planting the third sacred tree, it had increased rapidly. As a result, the rotation speed of his cyclone had long surpassed that of the beginner warlord. A peak warlord might not be as fast as Lin Yao. Because of this, he was able to unleash the power of 500 vital energy seeds in an instant after the acceleration of his thinking speed.

Moreover, unlike the martial artist stage, once the martial artist’s vital energy seeds were unleashed, they would be sluggish, requiring Lin Yao to focus his body and mind to absorb electricity, thunder, and lightning.

However, the cyclone would not shrink after it was unleashed. It would only become thinner. At the same time, the thin cyclone would automatically absorb spirit energy to replenish itself. As Lin Yao’s cyclone rotation speed had reached more than 100 laps per second, his vital energy could recover quickly. As long as he did not unleash them continuously, the vital energy would not be depleted.

It was easy to solve the issue of the rotation speed of the cyclone. A cyclone that was larger in size had power and sunlight energy. Actually, it was the physical body that restricted his rapid advancement.

Lin Yao had a powerful physical training speed. His talent was a good fit for Project Thunder God, and he had accumulated 15% of strength through his advancement. It was not surprising that he had advanced from a beginner warlord to an intermediate warlord within four days.

‘I have increased my physical training progress by 15% in four days, and my daily improvement rate is also about 4%. No, there is also the Radiance Array today, so my improvement rate is as high as 5.5%.

‘At this rate of improvement, if I want to advance quickly, I will be able to advance to a silver warlord in about 15 days.’

His physical advancement speed, which had shocked the leaders of the major forces and made them think this was a pity, was indeed very powerful. It would be a bit too much to say that he was the only one with such strength in the world, but he was still among the few powerful geniuses on Blue Planet.

If he wanted to advance as quickly as possible, he could indeed become a silver warlord in half a month. However, there would be a problem when he advanced to a gold warlord. He would at least have to accumulate strength for several years before it was possible. Therefore, he would not advance now.

Besides, if he really did this, his upper limit would be restricted to the gold level. Forget about becoming a king. It would be difficult for him to even be named a warlord.

‘Ordinary people have no other choice. They can only advance at 100%, while geniuses have to reach at least 500%. In my case, the limit is 1000%. According to the current progress, without the Radiance Array and nutrition drinks, it would take about 240 days.

‘If something crops up halfway, it will take 300 days.’

Given Lin Yao’s cultivation speed, it would take nearly a year to advance to the limit, and his hypostasis would only be 1000%, which was the sum of two gold warlords. The body limit of king seedlings was above 1500%. However, even though they had various resources as auxiliary support, their cultivation speed was still far slower than Lin Yao’s.

If they wanted to advance to reach the limit, it would take at least two to three years, and it would cost a huge number of resources.

‘It’s no wonder Che Zhengyi was only a silver warlord when he was in his third year of university. It’s not that he didn’t work hard. He just wanted to advance to reach the limit.

‘In other words, with my advancing speed, I may be able to defeat others easily with the gold warlord’s cultivation level after entering university.’

As he was thinking of this, there was a playful smile at the corner of Lin Yao’s lips.

It was upsetting to be defeated by others in terms of cultivation level, but it was another thing to defeat others.

‘I can hail myself as someone who advances to a gold warlord in university. In that case, other schools would be willing to pay more to enroll me.

‘Perhaps I can have all the money needed for the advancement of my three sacred trees.’

While Lin Yao was daydreaming, he had no idea that others were not optimistic about him becoming a gold warlord in university.

The advancement in the early stage was completely different from the advancement from Silver Person to Gold Person. This could be seen based on the training that one had as a warlord and as a silver warlord.

When ordinary people advanced to a martial artist, they would be known as an Iron Person. When an Iron Person’s physical fitness reached 100%, they could advance to a Silver Person.

A Silver Person was initially known as a warlord. They would only be known as a silver warlord after their physical fitness reached 100%, and they would have the power of a Silver Person.

The most terrifying thing was that the cultivation in the silver warlord stage was not about cultivating physical fitness but one’s spirituality.

One had to make use of the powerful aura, blood, and vital energy to nurture the soul so that it could manifest, filling it with aura, blood, and vital energy, integrating the three elements into one, and achieving perfect fusion. These were the steps needed to advance to a Gold Person.

At the same time, the soul was closely related to the state of the body. If the vital energy, blood, and aura were insufficient, the soul would be weak, and it would not be possible to cultivate the soul to the level of manifestation. Some people also called it exhaustion of one’s foundation.

Those who could not manifest their souls with their aura, blood, and vital energy could only remain in the silver stage. They could also look for treasure to break the limit of their bodies without improving their hypostasis. However, this was obviously a very expensive method.

The manifestation of the soul and the perfect fusion of the three elements of energy, aura, and strength were only the basis for advancing to a Gold Person.

The energy, aura, and strength of human beings were the basis for carrying everything. Some people called the fusion of the three into one internal alchemy or gold elixir, and the reason for creating the gold elixir was so that it could inherit one’s martial arts.

When one used a large amount of aura, blood, and vital energy to manifest the soul, one would then be a real Silver Person, which was basically the advancement from a warlord to a silver warlord.

The soul was fully manifested, and the energy, aura, and strength were merged. This was the cultivation method of the silver warlord. When the three elements were integrated and the gold elixir was formed, the silver warlord would be at the juncture of advancing to a gold warlord. One would be called a peak silver or potential gold warlord.

At this point, one would only be one step away from gold, but many people got stuck at this step. This step did not require basic attributes like energy, aura, and strength, but one’s comprehension of martial arts.

Only by comprehending and engraving this insight into the gold elixir and turning the blood and aura gold elixir into one’s gold foundation could one advance to a warlord.

Such comprehension was not easy. In terms of combat skills, it meant practicing a combat skill that was at least at the gold level to the point of transcendence.

Beginner, proficiency, small progress, real success, profoundness, and transcendence.

These were the six realms of combat skills. As far as the gold combat skills were concerned, the first four realms could be easily achieved. As long as one persisted, one could always achieve real success after more than 10 years.

It might be easy to obtain a gold combat skill, but one had to meet certain conditions to be able to master it. Take Lin Yao’s Clear Mirror Swordsmanship and Deafening Thunder Roar for example. All these required specific talents.

This was the case for most gold combat skills. Even if it was purely cultivation of one’s physical body, the body had to achieve a certain level of excellence.

There was a threshold for gold combat skills, and one had to practice this to become a gold warlord. One had to master combat skills at this level in order to gain insight and engrave it into the blood and aura gold elixir, forming one’s gold foundation.

This was a stumbling block for many people.

A lot of people felt that Lin Yao would be stuck in this stage because he had a poor comprehension ability.

However, was this really the case?
