"But if one were to look at the long term, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Thunder Physique far exceeds the price of merely breaking through a realm!"Su Xing muttered.
Because the Heavenly Thunder Physique essentially enhanced Su Xing's potential, improving both his Body Refinement and Qi Refinement talents with the aid of the physical constitution.
"With my current strength, I should be able to match a legendary professional in the latter stages... or even those legendary Demonic Beasts, right?"
Su Xing pondered for a moment.
With the enhancement of Protective Gang Qi and Origin Force armor, Su Xing's defense was already close to the mid-phase of the Broken Void Realm, roughly equivalent to the legendary middle stages.
It was just that Su Xing's attack power was too low then, only his defense was up to standard.
To put it unpleasantly, he was like a thief who could take a beating, a human-shaped sandbag...
After all, the strength of a Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm was a hundred thousand tons; even if the power was doubled by wrapping it with Origin Force, it was merely two hundred thousand tons.
But now things were different!
Pure physical strength of fifty thousand tons, combined with Origin Force, could unleash a force of a million tons in an instant!
Su Xing looked at his fist with a peculiar expression and said:
"Could this be... what they call the legendary million-ton punch?"
Upon reaching the Broken Void Realm and awakening the Heavenly Thunder Physique, Su Xing's strength had an unprecedented surge!
This also gave Su Xing extra confidence... and even a little bit of conceit.
Su Xing even felt an impulse to go straight to Damned Zong Lao right now.
To kill him with a single punch... take his Storage Magical Artifact... and inherit his legacy accumulated over thousands of years!
Towards such evil cultivators, a disgrace to the Human Race, Su Xing had no psychological burden about robbing and killing.
After hesitating for a while, Su Xing still suppressed the urge in his heart and muttered:
"With my current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Damned Zong in a second..."
"But to be on the safe side, I should simulate it a few more times to avoid any accidents..."
Having calmed his emotions, Su Xing started making plans for his future growth.
"Although I've reached the Broken Void Realm and obtained the Heavenly Thunder Physique this time, I didn't bring out the Great Perfection level of Protective Gang Qi..."
"Even for a powerhouse at the Broken Void Realm, the enhancement from the Great Perfection level of Protective Gang Qi is immense!"
"But there's no rush for that; reaching the Great Perfection level should take five or six years, and I can just find any opportunity to bring it out..."
After pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued to mutter:
"The only troubling thing now... the breakthrough to the Broken Void Realm is really too expensive!"
"A mere level of Cultivation... requires a billion units of energy! Damn, if I were to cultivate to Great Perfection of the Broken Void Realm, wouldn't that be close to ten billion units of energy?"
Su Xing, at the moment, could not come up with so much energy.
Having just plundered the instance dungeon items from the Baili Business Association, it's likely that the simulation energy they can provide won't be much in the next two or three months...
"As for the Tarot Society... well, the source of energy is stable, even if it's eighty million units a week... that's three billion a month..."
"All in all, it would still take three months of accumulation to provide ten billion units of energy!"
Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a headache for a moment.
The later the stage, the higher the simulation energy Su Xing needed to bring out Cultivation Level.
"The energy needed to enhance Body Refinement Cultivation Level is ridiculously exaggerated... perhaps I should consider breaking through to the Return to Void stage of Qi Refinement first..."
Su Xing sighed lightly.
"Perhaps, obtaining the legacy of Damned Zong... or raiding a wave of the treasury of the Descending Sect, could make up for these energy deficits?"
Su Xing thought carefully.
"Whether I can carry it out depends on the risks revealed in the simulations."
"Let's not consider the affairs after the Broken Void Realm for now... to step into the Return to Void Realm, I still lack Spring Dew Pure Water."
"And gathering Spring Dew Pure Water requires practicing the Sword Control Technique as part of the Divine Skills and entering into the subtleties of Divine Sense!"
Su Xing nodded slightly, as the target for his next simulations became clearer.
"Alas, even if I'm a major cultivator in the Broken Void Realm now... I still have to dutifully practice Alchemy!"
Su Xing sighed and then started refining Elixirs.
Unfortunately, the improvement in Body Refinement Cultivation Level did not make Su Xing's Alchemy progress any faster.
In a week's time, Su Xing refined five thousand Elixirs, also gathered a good amount of Spiritual Liquid, and harvested a batch of Spirit Rice.
Spiritual Liquid, Su Xing didn't even want to use a single drop of it.
After all, for a swift advancement in Cultivation Level after the Return to Void Realm, Su Xing depended on these Spiritual Liquids.
Soon, a week passed by.
It was the day Su Xing met with Jin Congxue.
Before the meeting, Su Xing changed his appearance and made sure no one was following him before entering the villa.
Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a black casual suit that made her look like a city beauty, with just a hint of her cleavage visible...
"Cough cough~"
Su Xing promptly guarded his Dao heart, diverted his gaze, and started eating his meal in earnest.
After the meal, the two began to discuss business.
"Boss~ here are this week's goods, the ores newly extracted from those four dungeon realms are all here..." Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Jin Congxue handed over a Storage Ring, and Su Xing also gave Jin Congxue the Elixirs he had refined that week.
After completing the trade, Jin Congxue started to complain:
"Oh, Boss~ the business of instance dungeon items is getting harder and harder!"
"That Baili Business Association in the south, I don't know what madness they're up to... not only raising the market price of instance dungeon items, monopolizing the entire southern market... "
"Now, they even want to extend their hands to our Kyoto, are they aiming for a price war?"
Hearing Jin Congxue's complaints, Su Xing was struck with a thought, knowing that the Baili Business Association must be even more vigorously purchasing instance dungeon items.
As for the reason... it was naturally to please Su Xing.
With that thought, the corners of Su Xing's mouth lifted slightly and he said:
