Chapter 366: Chapter 356: Significant Improvement in Physique

Since the effects of the Thousand Illusion Fruit were about to wear off, Fat Cat took Chu Hao and left. After all, its freeloading off Gu Qingcheng and her servant was just to get some free babysitting. Now that Chu Hao was about to return to his original form, it was naturally time to make a quick getaway.

They quickly arrived outside the city and settled down in a clean cave, believing that Gu Qingcheng and her servant would not be able to find them there.

"Fat Cat, you’re quite shameless," Chu Hao pointed out.

"Pfft, it was you who wanted to run away, how is this my fault?" Fat Cat completely brushed it off.

"Ah, I do feel rather guilty this time," Chu Hao shook his head, thinking about how Gu Qingcheng and her servant would surely be frantically searching for him, and it was all because of Fat Cat.

"Feeling sorry for your little lover?" Fat Cat’s face was full of a strange smile.

"None of your business," Chu Hao huffed, yet the image of Gu Qingcheng was deeply ingrained in his heart.

He had only been with her for a few days, yet why did it feel as if he had known her for a lifetime, leaving such a profound mark on his heart, always feeling an impulse to rush back to see her. He thought about what Fat Cat said; Gu Qingcheng was a Nine Charm Profound Body, a natural charmer, indeed this was the case.

Yet her Nine Charm Profound Body was not pure, only possessing a tiny hint of bloodline, but already she possessed such a strong seductive power. Then what kind of might would a fully developed Nine Charm Profound Body have?

Just a gentle word and all the people in the world would probably obediently comply, right?

And by the same reasoning, how terrifying must the physique that ranked alongside the Nine Charm Profound Body be? And yet this was only the second tier.

Chu Hao took a deep breath; he needed to accelerate his physical cultivation. Otherwise, not to mention encountering a Seven Spirits Body, even if he met someone with a sixth rank or tenth rank physique, he would be at a disadvantage if their realms were equal.

Of course, even the physique of Chu Hao, which was mighty, could only be categorized as eighteenth flow. It was nearly impossible for Sky Martial Star to find someone with a stronger physique than his—although Gu Qingcheng’s Nine Charm Profound Body was second flow, her bloodline was too impure.

"Hehe, that girl isn’t bad. You could consider it. The Nine Charm Profound Body, even in my era, was extremely rare and bewitching to the bone. Don’t you like that kind of thing, kid?" Fat Cat prodded again.

"How come you’re becoming more and more lecherous?" Chu Hao started to push back, not wanting to let Fat Cat control the conversation.

"I am being frank and straightforward, speaking my mind without reservations, not hypocritical like you! Admit it, do you have thoughts about that girl or not?" Fat Cat nudged Chu Hao’s shoulder, full face smiling.

He truly did have thoughts, just like the faint feelings he had always had for Su Wanyue. But to have Fat Cat call him out made him somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Kid, when you meet a good girl, you must seize the opportunity. Don’t let it slip by, or else you’ll regret it for the rest of your life," Fat Cat said with a meaningful tone.

"...Don’t tell me you’ve experienced love before," Chu Hao was quite surprised, as Fat Cat sounded as if he had been through it all.

"Because I have seen it," Fat Cat sighed, "If you don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, you better understand what you truly want."

Chu Hao was silent; he wasn’t a monk who had renounced worldly desires. He too wanted a partner to accompany him for life. Back on Earth, he was always adventuring around. To him, this was the biggest joy. But he also understood that adventuring in ruins was something that could kill him at any time, so he never planned to settle down, instead leading a life of debauchery—engaging in one-night stands when the need arose, where both parties would just smack their butts and leave the next day, most of the time not even knowing each other’s names.

After arriving at Sky Martial Star, he embarked on the path of cultivation, which was even more dangerous. In a world ruled by the powerful, where strength granted one the freedom to do whatever they wanted and lives were cheap, Chu Hao never had the chance to consider romantic sentiments.

But now, mention from Fat Cat awakened a sense of loneliness in him.

It wasn’t the kind of loneliness from lacking friends, but lacking someone to confide in emotionally.

Should he seriously consider a lifelong commitment? Su Wanyue, Gu Qingcheng—who did he like more?

After thinking for a while, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself. Whether it was Su Wanyue or Gu Qingcheng, neither had expressed any fondness for him. He was just worrying needlessly!

He would just let fate decide.

Three days later, Chu Hao underwent a tremendous transformation.

He grew sharp teeth, his body became taller, and both his physical strength and Star Force gradually recovered. From then on, for every day that passed, his body grew as it would have in one year. By the twentieth day, he had finally returned to his original form.

Huh?

He was surprised to find that the number of Life Springs within his body had increased from two to four!

Fourth Tier Warrior.

"Kid, what did you think the Thousand Illusion Fruit was?" Fat Cat said with disdain, "Boosting you up two minor realms is nothing. The biggest effect was the enhancement of your physique. Try it again."

Obediently, Chu Hao tried. With a flick of his right hand, Blue Flame appeared, turning into a half-foot long Fire Blade, incredibly profound.

Wow, previously I only had a bit of flame, but now it has become a blade, this is great progress.

Moreover, he shook his right hand again, and the whole hand turned into flame. Swiping it with the Deep Blue Sword cut right through it as if it had turned into nothingness.

Elemental Transformation!

This time, his physique had made substantial progress; he finally took a tangible step in Elemental Transformation, managing to transform an area as large as his hand. Moreover, it wasn’t just the hands that could undergo Elemental Transformation, but any part of the body could—although at any one time, only an area as large as a palm could be transformed.

After Elemental Transformation, that part was truly invincible in defense, and only a War Venerate could harm it—either that or a Warrior, War General, or War King with the same capabilities.

"Finally, you look decent," Fat Cat nodded and said, "Now, your physique can truly be called a Taiyang Body. Before, it could only be counted as a Fire Attribute."

"Taiyang Body?" Chu Hao was hearing about his own physique for the first time.

"Indeed, Taiyin and Taiyang, one being extreme yin and the other extreme yang, represent two extremes. A pure Taiyin Taiyang body is also considered top-tier physique." Fat Cat this time didn’t beat around the bush, nor did it tease, and began to explain in detail.

Chu Hao then realized that this Sun wasn’t the usual kind of sun, but rather the sun in a grander sense of Taoism, the counterpart to Taiyin. He couldn’t help but wonder, "Aren’t I of the Fire Attribute?"

"A manifestation of extreme yang, it’s just that without reaching a certain level, it’ll seem no different from ordinary flames," Fat Cat replied.

"Can it be classified as first flow?"

"Nonsense, Taiyin and Taiyang, those are the physiques of extreme yin and yang, anything that reaches an extreme possesses unimaginable might." Fat Cat sneered, looking down on Chu Hao’s ignorance.

Chu Hao didn’t take offense; compared to Fat Cat, he truly had limited knowledge. He asked, "Then, considering the standard of my current physique, which flow would it fall into?"

"Barely... eighteenth flow," Fat Cat pondered for a long time before making a judgment.

"Only eighteenth flow?" Chu Hao looked at Fat Cat, wondering if this guy was deliberately belittling him.

"That’s pretty good, going from the twentieth flow to the eighteenth flow in about a month, what more do you want?" Fat Cat huffed, "It’s only because your body is too weak; otherwise, upgrading from the second flow to the first flow would take at least ten thousand years."

Chu Hao then nodded, realizing that Fat Cat wasn’t intentionally demeaning him, and couldn’t help but murmur, "If only I had a few more Thousand Illusion Fruits."

Fat Cat nodded and said, "If there were enough Thousand Illusion Fruits, your physique could be upgraded to a maximum of the tenth flow."

"Just the tenth flow?" Chu Hao was incredulous, weren’t Thousand Illusion Fruits War God level?

"You should be smiling about reaching the tenth flow with just the War God level exotic fruit," Fat Cat disdainfully said.

Chu Hao had heard it mention that War God was not the pinnacle of martial arts, and rumors said that during Ancient Times, War Gods were as common as dogs, which also implied that there were higher levels of martial arts above War Gods.

He shivered, thinking about what Fat Cat had said about Sky Martial Star facing a major disaster. Could this disaster be something that surpassed the War God level?

"You’re not too dumb, kiddo, better start cultivating. Without reaching War God status, you won’t even have the qualifications to participate in this great cosmic game!" Fat Cat shook its head without elaborating further.

Chu Hao nodded and said, "Let’s head out."

"To where?"

"First to Medicine Valley, I’ve got to deliver the Thousand Illusion Fruit seeds to Xiaocao."

"You’re really keeping your promise, I see."

"Of course, I can’t be like you, can I?"

"Meow, are you saying I’m unreliable?"

"That’s what you said."

"Brat, I’ll bite you to death!"

...

Traveling together, a man and a cat returned to Medicine Valley half a month later. Using the Concealment Jade to gain entry, they were greeted by a roar and a flash of red. A figure shot towards them like lightning, arriving at Chu Hao’s feet in an instant.

It was Flying Fire.

The little guy buzzed around Chu Hao excitedly, occasionally nipping at his trouser leg.

"This fellow’s nose is really sharp," said Fat Cat as Flying Fire evidently came running after catching Chu Hao’s scent.

Yet, Chu Hao was surprised by Flying Fire’s strength; the lightning-fast speed just now had nearly caught him off guard. On closer inspection, the little one’s emitted qi had actually reached the Warrior level.

Xiaocao had said she would help improve Flying Fire’s strength, and he had not expected such rapid and noticeable progress.

He knew Xiaocao wouldn’t come out to greet him; in her eyes, nurturing Spirit Grass and concocting Pills were her main focus. It was precisely her undivided attention to her tasks that enabled her to produce so many Pills, else just relying on the Myriad Spirit Poison Body would only help grow Spirit Grass.

He picked up Flying Fire while Fat Cat perched on his shoulder, patting Flying Fire’s head with its paw, assuming the air of a boss.

"Fat Cat, stop bullying Flying Fire all the time," Chu Hao said.

"Mrow." Flying Fire made a sound, appearing aggrieved.

As they walked into the valley, they soon saw Xiaocao watering the Spirit Grass. Amidst the thousands of flowers and grasses, she seemed like a fairy untouched by the mortal world, ethereal and pure.

"Xiaocao, I’ve brought you something good," Chu Hao approached her and stopped by her side.

"Oh," Xiaocao nodded her head but continued watering, not even bothering to give Chu Hao an additional glance.

"You just oh me, don’t you even want to ask what I brought?" Chu Hao said.

"You’ll say it anyway," Xiaocao calmly replied.

Chu Hao sighed, how was he ever going to break through her calmness? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
