Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 448: Chapter 446: The Origin of the Divine Demon Body

To be honest, besides a very small number of people, such as Little Fatty, the average student really didn’t know much about the Divine Demon Body—at least, not in depth.

This, of course, included Lin Xinghai.

Jian Hua, standing at the podium, was quite satisfied by the focused expressions on everyone’s faces. He clapped his hands lightly, and a holographic projection instantly appeared on the wall behind him.

"Alright! First, let me tell you all about the origin of the Divine Demon Body."

As Jian Hua spoke, images of stone slabs appeared on the holographic projection. The vast majority were cracked, damaged, or indistinct; only a small portion were complete.

"During the years when the great catastrophe broke out, there were constant earthquakes all over the country. And with these earthquakes, ancient ruins emerged from the earth’s crust in some places."

"At first, we didn’t pay much attention to these ruins. After all, they had been buried underground for far too long, and not much was left besides some rocks."

"Furthermore, according to our analysis, these stone slabs date back even further than humanity’s Stone Age."

"It wasn’t until a scientific researcher in the Blood Qi Realm discovered something unusual about them that they finally caught our attention."

"These stone slabs are very special. Besides being hard, they can also project images if you inject Blood Qi Power into them."

"The Divine Demon Body cultivation methods we have compiled today all originate from those images, as well as the patterns on these stone slabs."

As they listened to Jian Hua recount the history of the Divine Demon Body, many students grew curious about that era.

"Instructor, did such an era really exist?" a student asked. "If there were experts in the Divine Demon Realm back then, that era should have been incredibly glorious. Why aren’t there any historical records?"

"Of course, such an era existed. These stone slabs are the proof. And it’s not as if there are no records at all; the myths and legends we’ve all heard were very likely passed down from that time. We call it the ’Age of Myths’."

"As for why an era with experts of the Divine Demon Realm would gradually decline and even vanish from the river of history, our research suggests it was most likely related to the living environment."

"For example, behemoths like dinosaurs appeared during the Jurassic period, but today, such massive creatures simply don’t exist on land," Jian Hua replied.

The student nodded, but another quickly asked, "Then, Instructor, why are we able to cultivate the Divine Demon Body now?"

"That’s because our world’s environment is currently changing, and this change is extremely drastic," Jian Hua said. "The great catastrophe itself was caused by this drastic change."

No one asked any more questions after that. After all, this wasn’t a history lesson; they were here to learn about the Divine Demon Body.

Jian Hua, of course, understood this. He manipulated the holographic projection, and the numerous stone slabs quickly vanished, leaving only a single one behind, which was then enlarged.

"Next, let’s discuss the Divine Demon Body. What’s recorded on this particular stone slab is the rather famous Chaos Divine Body."

As the slab was enlarged, Lin Xinghai and the others could see its contents more clearly.

The stone slab looked unremarkable, but it was covered in a series of illustrations.

Lin Xinghai counted them carefully. There were 24 illustrations in total.

There were three illustrations per row, for a total of eight rows.

Jian Hua enlarged the upper half of the slab, quickly focusing on just four rows, which contained a total of 12 illustrations.

"Everyone, take a look. These illustrations are actually depictions of each Realm. But more importantly, on the body of the small figure in each illustration, there is a dot."

"These dots are actually acupoints. When you connect all the acupoints on the figures across the entire slab, they form the circulation path for this Divine Demon Body Technique."

"However, it’s difficult to learn just from the patterns. When you inject Blood Qi Power into these slabs, more detailed images appear. By cross-referencing the patterns and the images, we can deduce the true Cultivation Technique."

"Of course, the academy’s researchers have already compiled all the Cultivation Techniques for the Divine Demon Body. They’ve even broken them down and simplified them to suit each stage of your Realm. When it’s your turn to learn, you just need to sit in a Memory Transmitter."

Upon hearing this, many of the students’ faces relaxed. ’If that’s the case, this will be easy.’

Seeing their expressions, Jian Hua’s own face turned serious. "Of course, even with that, the Divine Demon Body is not so easy to practice. The difficulty of learning it is in no way less than practicing an Earth Level Martial Art."

"And that’s just the Cultivation Technique for the Blood Qi Realm. It only gets more difficult the higher you go. Take me, for example. I’ve been stuck at the High Tier of the Body Shaping Realm for two full years, and it’s because my cultivation of my Divine Demon Body Technique has stagnated."

At that, the looks of relief on the students’ faces vanished. After all, for students who managed to get into East Sea Academy, the ultimate goal was almost always to become an expert of the Divine Demon Realm.

Seeing their reactions, Jian Hua nodded. "Alright, I’m not trying to discourage you. I just want you to adopt the right mindset and give it your all starting now."

"I hope that some of you will be able to break through to the Divine Demon Realm, or even to a higher Realm."

Hearing the mention of a higher Realm, many of them began to whisper among themselves.

"Instructor, are there other Realms beyond the Divine Demon Realm? What are they like?" a student asked.

"I don’t know. But take a look at the patterns on this stone slab and you’ll see," Jian Hua said, pointing to the holographic projection behind him.

Previously, many had only given the patterns on the slab a cursory glance, not paying them much attention. Only now, after hearing what Jian Hua said, did they begin to look at them seriously.

"You can all look at the patterns in the first and second rows. They represent the Optimized and the Blood Qi Realm, respectively. Both of these Realms are really for building a foundation."

As he spoke, Jian Hua enlarged the slab further, and the six illustrations in the first two rows appeared clearly before everyone’s eyes.

Although the six illustrations were different, their content was more or less the same. They all showed the small figure undergoing various kinds of training. From push-ups and horse stances at the start, to later climbing high mountains while carrying a giant boulder, it was clear that it was all about different forms of physical conditioning.

"As for the patterns in the third row, they represent the Body Shaping Realm. This is where true power begins."

As he spoke, Jian Hua enlarged the third row of patterns. These three illustrations depicted scenes of a city assault.

One figure leaped over ten meters to land on top of a city wall, while another threw a single punch that sent stone fragments flying, leaving a crater several meters wide in the fortification.

"The Body Shaping Realm, as its name implies, is about reshaping the body. If you continuously temper yourselves during this stage, your bodies will eventually become as durable as special-grade alloys. At that point, every punch and kick can shatter mountains and crack stone. You’ll even be able to fight Mutated Zombies with your bare hands."

Listening to Jian Hua’s description, the students were completely captivated, their hearts filled with excitement.

After all, the Divine Demon Realm seemed too distant, but the Body Shaping Realm was different. Of the students who made it into East Sea Academy, at least a third could be expected to reach the Body Shaping Realm by graduation.

Even for those who couldn’t reach it before graduation, after entering the military to train for a year or two, nearly ninety-nine percent of them would eventually reach the Body Shaping Realm.
