Su Tu didn't expect that after this battle, not only would his fighting proficiency greatly increase, but he would also acquire a type of skill he had never seen before for the first time.
Divine Skills!!
This inevitably reminded him of Kashashitsu's pleading words.
"I am the last bloodline of the Xie Race. If you kill me, you will bear great karma, and my race's deity will watch over you!"
Originally, he thought the other party was just babbling nonsense before death, but looking at the system interface prompt, Kashashitsu was under divine favor of the Xie Race. So-called divine favor meant being favored by a god, meaning what the other party said was true—this Xie Race really had a deity!!
He raised his head to look at the stars outside the window, his heart filled with inexplicable excitement. Beyond the vast and boundless Star River, there was not only technology beyond his comprehension but also martial arts breaking conventional limits, and even legendary deities might be watching everything from outside the Star River.
All these mysteries made Su Tu's heart and spirit ripple; he couldn't wait to see the 'real world' with his own eyes.
However, he knew that what he needed to do now was carefully tread each step. The various incidents he had encountered recently indicated that Ancestor Star had changed. Not only was there the upcoming martial exam, but, according to Kashashitsu, more races were about to appear on Ancestor Star.
These races could be friendly or even more treacherous than Kashashitsu, but Su Tu couldn't gamble on their attitude. Truth lies only within the range of cannons, dignity only at the edge of a martial artist's fist!
"I must quickly enhance my strength."
Facing Kashashitsu today, if not for the underdeveloped flesh of the other party and too many weaknesses, he might have really died there, a feeling Su Tu didn't like.
Moreover, since there might actually be deities in the world, what Kashashitsu said wasn't just a simple threat but reality!!
It's very possible that a deity will be watching him!!
But he didn't feel fear or dread because of this; instead, there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Deity?
The deity worshiped by those disgusting Xie Race guys, what is it really, anyway? When the day comes that he is strong enough, there would be no need for it to seek him out; he would destroy its divine name himself!!
Strength! He needed to enhance his strength quickly!
Thinking of this, Su Tu summoned the system interface. He wanted to see how much improvement this divine skill could bring him.
"Divine Skills, just by the name, it sounds quite mighty."
With a slight heart thought, he was about to bring up the information on the divine favor skills.
Divine Skills weren't in the same position as his original skills. The system had newly opened a page marked with the words divine skills.
It seemed a lot more advanced than the original skills.
[Divine Skill: Eternal Life]
[Eternal Flesh (Initial Tier): Unlocked]
[Passive Skill: Your body will gain the blessing of eternal life, gaining exceptionally strong recovery abilities. Flesh collapse instantly heals, severed limbs and shattered skulls can also regenerate!]
[My Life Eternal (Middle Tier): ???]
[Upgrade Conditions: Realm reaches Mingtiao Realm, and master one Great Success Technique above Tier Three.]
[I am Eternal (High Tier): ????]
[Upgrade Conditions: Realm reaches Falling Leaves Realm, and fully master one Heart and Spirit Visualization!]
Looking at the divine skills in front of him, Su Tu raised an eyebrow, a hint of amazement rising in his eyes.
Although from the name itself Su Tu understood that this divine skill must be extraordinary.
But when the skill's effects fully appeared before him, there was still a bit of surprise.
Leaving aside the yet-to-be-unlocked middle and high tier skills, just this initial tier skill, Eternal Flesh.
Flesh collapse instantly heals, severed limbs and shattered skulls can also regenerate.
Just this sentence alone already overturned Su Tu's understanding. This ability is a bit too OP, isn't it? It simply elevates his survival ability infinitely to another level.
If ordinary skills allowed Su Tu to better open the door to martial arts, then now this divine skill simply forcefully pushes Su Tu into the 'monster' category.
Flesh regeneration could be easily explained, allowing Su Tu to quickly recover wounds in battle, but for crying out loud, severed limbs and shattered skulls can regenerate too? That's way too abstract.
This means that physically, he will no longer have any fatal wounds!
Just imagine, in a life-or-death struggle, his opponent finally finds an opening and shatters Su Tu's head, but instead of victory, what awaits them is Su Tu's newly formed head. What kind of a scene would that be!
Moreover, such an against-the-heavens ability is only the initial tier effect of eternal life!
The remaining skills are still locked. Divine skills require a different upgrading approach than regular skills, but in the end, it all boils down to one thing: grind!!
Cultivation enhances Strengthen Body. As Strengthen Body improves, the physical body strengthens, and the realm upgrades faster. Quick realm upgrades will rapidly unlock divine skills, creating a closed loop directly.
Can't deny, the system is quite considerate.
But soon, Su Tu detached himself from his delight and took a small knife out from the cabinet nearby.
Without any hesitation, he made a small cut on his fingertip, wanting to test the effect of the Eternal Flesh.
However, the wound did not even bleed; new flesh buds appeared instantly at the wound, and it healed almost immediately.
Su Tu felt a small portion of his internal Qi vanish.
"Indeed, it's not that simple."
The super healing ability of Eternal Flesh requires Qi as a price. Repairing minor external injuries consumes negligible Qi, but regenerating a head would require a terrifying amount.
At least, he can't do it at his current realm.
But this doesn't mean Eternal Flesh isn't powerful. With enough Qi to support it, Eternal Flesh can grant Su Tu nearly limitless vitality. The skill isn't weak; it's Su Tu's current realm that's too low, Qi too scant.
In the future, when his realm advances, this skill will fully reveal its horror.
Moreover...
"Even if I can't regenerate a shattered head now, my physical healing has significantly improved; simple external injuries have no effect on me." Su Tu is quite satisfied with the skill.
He glanced at the time; it was almost twelve o'clock, so he put away all thoughts and returned to bed.
No matter what, he can't delay his sleep.
However, just as Su Tu was about to enter dreamland, his subconscious felt like there was something he hadn't done today...
What could it be....
He couldn't recall, but at the last moment his consciousness entered dreamland... deep inside his subconscious, a blank scroll seemed to slowly appear.
But by then, Su Tu had already fallen asleep.
In the depth of his Heart and Spirit, he lay on a pitch-black mountain peak, a cyan snake trying to transform into a dragon slowly swam and supported his body, while below the mountain, the stalking white tiger daintily climbed up to the summit and crouched beside him. The originally rugged Heishan now bloomed flowers composed of black stones centered around him.
His breathing was steady, serene, as if he was having a good dream. Even in the sky, the two rounds of Hao Yue swayed slightly, and in their center a faint black line appeared, making them seem like eyes, gazing at him at this moment.
At this time, the Qi within him seemed to have sensed something, winding forward, observing mountains, gazing at mountains, rushing fiercely, climbing over several mountains, and then ten apertures around Su Tu opened consecutively, while the Qi within kept pushing forward unstoppably.
.....
The outskirts of the North Sea are a primeval forest.
The ancient trees here have stood for unknown ages, and four to five grown men together couldn't encircle even the thinnest one.
This place is known as the Ancient Forest; the elders used to say that monsters hide within this forest, once people enter, they never come out.
Later, there were four adventure bloggers who were skeptical and came here aiming to make a big impression.
But the live broadcast suddenly cut off, no one knows what happened, among the four bloggers only one escaped, the others vanished, and the lucky one went mad, constantly shouting... "Ghost soldiers borrow the road... ghost soldiers borrow the road!!"
Since then, the Ancient Forest became even more desolate, yet at this moment, a figure sat beneath a tree, holding a lunchbox and eating wontons inside.
Opposite him sat a man, complexion pale, emanating a chilling aura, not like a living person. The man spoke.
"The North Sea is the ancient battleground of Heaven and Earth, where Chi You and the Yellow Emperor fought, where Shang Zhou waged eternal campaigns, and where the divine tribulation befell, the trials of the heavens; in Eastern legend, every divine demon battlefield is linked to here."
"Long ago people thought all these stories were compiled by ancestors, but who would have thought that thousands of years later, human beings ventured beyond the cosmic expanse, and yet in the boundless Star River, discover..."
"All myths and legends could possibly be true!!!"
