Chapter 935: Wu Gang

At first, the family was thrilled, thinking Wu Gang had a special physique.

But after much effort to reach the Giant City where the Immortal Sect was located, they were told at the special physique recruitment center that he had the most useless Ten Thousand Jun Body.

This body type could eat a lot and endure beatings, but his cultivation realm was extremely difficult to advance.

Records in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm showed that the highest cultivation level achieved by someone with the Ten Thousand Jun Body was only the Great Ascension stage.

The effort and resources required didn’t match the potential gains, so he was rejected.

Unwilling to accept this, Wu Gang’s parents spent all their savings trying other Immortal Sects, but the outcome was the same.

During this time, they were also swindled out of all their savings.

Their once comfortable life was ruined because of him.

Later, the spirit fields they planted couldn’t keep up with Wu Gang’s needs.

So, Wu Gang’s father became a professional treasure hunter, hoping to earn more spirit stones to at least keep his son from starving.

Despite his father’s best efforts, he could only ensure Wu Gang didn’t starve to death.

When the Hidden Spirit Sect opened its doors to recruit disciples, Wu Gang’s mother, in a last-ditch effort, sent him there, and he was actually accepted.

Not only was he accepted, but he also got to enjoy a hearty meal from his savior immortal.

He ate the equivalent of ten cows, thirty grilled Spirit Goats, and fifteen grilled fish, each weighing twenty pounds.

Then, to Xiong Li’s astonishment, he downed one hundred cups of juice.

Finally, after eating twenty pounds of rice cakes and pastries, Wu Gang felt what it was like to be almost full.

From then on, Senior Brother Xiong Li was always his favorite senior brother.

In the large dojo, all the children released their auras and practiced the first set of Five Elements body refinement calisthenics to the music.

Their movements were synchronized, and their blood power gathered and shot up into the sky.

The blood power of over 400,000 disciples formed a massive law form of condensed vital energy in the sky, which also began performing the first set of Five Elements body refinement calisthenics in sync with the disciples.

At that moment, there were two hundred such law forms in the sky.

These law forms seemed to have a mind of their own, exuding a powerful aura and trying to outshine the others to be the most prominent.

An old man, who looked like an ordinary person, was sweeping the dust off a mountain path with his broom.

He looked up at the two hundred law forms and muttered, "Amazing, truly amazing~"

He had originally gone to say goodbye to his taoist friend but ran into a Star Ship fleet on the way. Seeing their supreme realm, they wanted to recruit him as an elder of their merchant association.

But the Sweeping Old Man couldn’t agree to that.

With a better option available, he didn’t want to follow a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp. It took a lot of effort to escape from that Star Ship fleet.

When he arrived at the Feiyu Realm, the Hidden Spirit Island was just about to depart, and he barely caught the last ride.

Half an hour later, after finishing a set of Five Elements body refinement calisthenics, they moved on to Wu Gang’s favorite part.

Due to his enormous appetite, Wu Gang always got special attention from Grape.

When he arrived at the academy cafeteria, Wu Gang headed straight to his usual spot.

Ten large buckets of spirit rice, ten plates of braised pork, twenty roasted lamb racks, forty roasted beef legs, five big bowls of meat soup, one hundred large steamed buns, and fifty grilled fish, each weighing ten pounds.

This was Grape’s precise calculation to keep Wu Gang at about 80% full.

Looking at this mountain of food, Wu Gang felt a wave of happiness wash over him.

“Honestly, Wu Gang could save some time by just eating spirit pills,” one of the first-generation disciples commented as he watched Wu Gang devour his meal.

“That’s for later. Besides, unless they’re made by alchemy grandmasters, most pills have toxins. It’s not good to overdo it,” another chimed in.

“Spirit food, on the other hand, has no limits. The more you eat, the more you gain,” Xiong Li added.

“Senior Brother, did you ask Grape to report Wu Gang’s situation? The Ten Thousand Jun Body can’t achieve immortality. The Grand Elder needs to take a look,” the first-generation disciple said, acting as Wu Gang’s mentor.

“I’ve already told Grape, but the Grand Elder’s been busy lately. Grape probably hasn’t had the chance to report yet,” Xiong Li replied, confident it wasn’t a big deal.

Once the Grand Elder stepped in, everything would be sorted out.

After the meal, all the disciples returned to their classrooms and put on their artifact helmets.

This allowed them to enter the small world created for them in the Source Realm.

Here, they could attend classes alongside 83 million other disciples.

As the last one to enter the classroom, Wu Gang thoughtfully activated the Protective Formation to block any outside disturbances.

Once he put on the illusionary helmet, the world spun around him, and Wu Gang found himself in his personal small world.

“Please select the course you wish to study.”

Countless options appeared before him: Basic Explanation of the Five Elements Technique, Basic Alchemy, Basic Forging, Basic Body Refinement, Basic Elemental Mastery, Basic Swordsmanship…

Wu Gang clicked on Basic Body Refinement without hesitation and selected the fourth lesson.

He noticed that the first three lessons had perfect scores.

The small world shifted, and Wu Gang appeared in a dojo, viewing it from above.

In the dojo stood a tall, muscular body refinement cultivator with an intimidating presence.

“In the first three lessons, we covered strength. Now, we’ll move on to the advanced use of qi.”

“When qi combines with strength, you can take on tigers and wolves. Using strength to channel qi is just the basics of body refinement—no need to overcomplicate it.”

“Today, I’ll teach you how to fuse qi and strength.”

“This will cover lessons four through eight,” the burly man said, addressing the empty dojo.

Wu Gang glanced around and noticed nine other disciples in the fourth lesson, all of whom he’d crossed paths with before.

“Now, I want each of you to attach your consciousness to me. I’ll guide you through the feeling of qi and strength fusion,” the burly man said, opening himself up for the connection.

This kind of class was happening millions of times over, with all 83 million disciples attending their lessons.

Grape was busy creating real-time updates for each disciple’s courses and cultivation progress.

Using its immense computing power, Grape then calculated the best cultivation path for each disciple.

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard, Xu Fan opened his eyes with a sigh of frustration.

“I can’t crack this space celestial tool!”

“Seems like crafting a space celestial tool isn’t just about being a Divine Craftsman,” Xu Fan muttered, staring at the tool in his hand.

“Grape, draw up a plan to break the consciousness protective formation on the outer layer of this space celestial tool,” Xu Fan ordered.

After a year of research, Xu Fan had concluded that cracking this formation would take him thousands of years.

Losing patience, he handed the tedious task over to Grape.

“Understood, Master.”

Grape then gave a quick update on recent events.

“Extremely large appetite, Ten Thousand Jun Body, but can’t achieve immortality.”

“Alright, bring the kid over. I’ll take a look,” Xu Fan said.

And so, Wu Gang, who was in the middle of class, was brought before Xu Fan.
