"Ding! You cultivated for one minute, gaining $1 \times 100$ times the experience for your Cultivation Base!"
"Ding! You successfully broke through to Body Tempering Triple Layer!"
In an instant, Jiang Chen felt his physical strength multiply several times over.
Holy smokes, this Hundredfold Cultivation System is utterly terrifying!
He had only meditated for a few minutes and had already leaped from the second to the third layer of Body Tempering. For comparison, the body's previous owner had been stuck at the second layer for nearly two years.
"If mere meditation is this potent, what happens when I introduce a cultivation aid?"
A flicker of excitement in his eyes, Jiang Chen reached into his belongings, pulled out a Power Enhancement Pill, and swallowed it.
The Power Enhancement Pill was a low-level concoction, not even qualifying as a First-Grade pill. Still, it was a common aid for martial artists in the Body Tempering realm, known for providing a boost that allowed them to practice with twice the efficiency.
"Ding! You consumed a Power Enhancement Pill, gaining $100 \times 100$ times the experience!"
"Ding! You successfully broke through to Body Tempering Fourth Layer!"
"Ding! You successfully broke through to Body Tempering Fifth Layer!"
"Ding! You successfully broke through to Body Tempering Sixth Layer!"
The sheer intensity of the rapid-fire notifications made Jiang Chen's head spin. He hadn't even had time to resume meditating! A pill with no official grade had instantly propelled him three levels, landing him squarely at the sixth layer of Body Tempering!
In the younger generation of the Jiang family, only the genuine genius, Jiang Xing (who was already enrolled in the Lingyun Martial Academy), was stronger. Even Jiang Yunhong, the self-proclaimed top talent, was only at the fifth layer.
Jiang Chen now surpassed Jiang Yunhong.
He was struggling to find the words to describe the system's awesomeness. With this heaven-defying Hundredfold Cultivation System, even the most lauded geniuses of the Lingyun Martial Academy would look like trash in front of him.
"If I'm right, Jiang Yunhong plans to take my token and report to the Lingyun Martial Academy today," Jiang Chen muttered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He needed to move now and give Jiang Yunhong a massive surprise. What belonged to him, no one would ever snatch away.
A Slap and a Breakthrough
Jiang Chen rose quickly, opened the door, and stepped out.
He was immediately blocked by a burly guard standing right outside the room.
"Jiang Kuan, what are you doing loitering in front of this young master's door?" Jiang Chen snapped, his voice stern.
The burly man, Jiang Kuan, managed a disingenuous smile. "Young Master Chen, the Grand Elder ordered you to remain in your room today. You are not to go anywhere."
Though the person before him was the sole heir of the family patriarch, Jiang Wuya, he was a well-known failure and a running joke among the staff. When Jiang Wuya was around, Jiang Kuan might have offered superficial respect. Now, he didn't spare this 'waste' young master a single serious thought.
"Jiang Kuan, where I go is none of your business. A good dog doesn't block the path. Get out of my way!" Jiang Chen's gaze was icy.
He knew the game. The Grand Elder, Jiang Qianhe, was Jiang Yunhong's grandfather. This order was clearly a move to keep him contained while Jiang Yunhong stole his academy opportunity. It was even possible that Jiang Qianhe had instructed his grandson to attack him the previous night.
Hearing the infamous 'waste' compare him to a dog, the smile instantly vanished from Jiang Kuan's face.
"Young Master Chen, watch your words. This is the Grand Elder's..."
Smack!
Before Jiang Kuan could finish his warning, Jiang Chen's hand shot out, delivering a ringing slap directly across the guard's cheek.
"Ding! You slapped a face, gaining $10 \times 100$ experience!"
"Ding! Your Basic Palm Technique has reached the perfect state! It has successfully advanced to the Huang-Grade Primary Martial Skill: Wind Breaking Palm!"
