Su Chen steadied his mind before finally opening his status panel. He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and slightly stirred his mind.
[The Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted has sensed the host's will, opened his eyes, and cast his gaze upon the nurous classes before him. Please select the classes to fuse into a Holy Class with the Blood Burner as the core.]
Su Chen had planned this long ago, so naturally, he did not hesitate. "Ravager, Weapon Lord, Sovereign Vajra."
[The Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted's gaze fixed. He stood up and walked over. The four exchanged glances, already having reached an understanding. Rolling crimson flas rushed toward one's face.]
The process of forging a Holy Class was naturally not just limited to the text on the status panel.
Around his body, wisps of red-gold flas were already dissipating, gradually enveloping him. However, without a shred of heat escaping, they surged into the interior of his body.
Crack! Pop!
The faint sound of hot oil exploding echoed by his ears. Su Chen's initial reaction was a bit of confusion as to where the sound was coming from.
But soon after, his expression abruptly changed, and his five viscera and six bowels trembled in unison.
His heart quivered. The flas climbed onto the muscular tissue of his heart, and the various symbols engraved upon it lit up and flickered before seemingly being forcibly extracted, wiped away bit by bit.
Cold sweat poured profusely from Su Chen's forehead. These were the job entry traces of the Ravager. Not only that, but his muscle fibers twitched as if being forcibly torn apart. The job entry traces of the Blood Burner, Weapon Lord, and Sovereign Vajra were being extracted bit by bit.
When performing a Tri-Fusion for un-entered classes, it didn't affect him personally. But now, existing classes being forged into a Holy Class was equivalent to being reconstructed from the roots.
His body seed to have turned into a lting pot, mixing those classes together. Various symbols bounced back and forth, gradually lting and blending.
Until a certain mont, the flas completely dispersed again, spreading to every corner of his body. Wisps of brilliant symbols poured into every single one of his cells, bones, and even his five viscera and six bowels.
This was unprecedented agony. Su Chen's pupils constricted, his muscles tightened, and the blue veins on his neck bulged. His entire body felt as if it had been crushed. Rolling waves of flas surged out in all directions.
[Blood Burner, Ravager, Weapon Lord, and Sovereign Vajra have been successfully forged. Acquired Holy Class—World-Slaying Manifestation]
[Acquired Ability—Armant Physique: Substantially increases physical strength. Can integrate Mystic Tools into the body and enhance them, with no upper limit on Mystic Tool enhancent.]
[Acquired Ability—Immovable Vajra: Burn flesh and blood body to enter a permanent state, substantially increasing physical strength. Before the Vajra body is shattered, you will not receive any damage.]
The flas lingering around his body suddenly retracted. Su Chen gradually recovered his senses and opened his eyes with lingering fear in his heart, still faintly feeling a stabbing pain all over his body. "This forging process was a bit too explosive."
However, it was worth it after all.
His eyes were fervent as he looked at the two abilities of the Holy Class on the status panel. The first was naturally a combination of the Weapon Lord and the Sovereign Vajra.
Even though Su Chen had anticipated this, he truly hadn't expected that after being forged into a Holy Class, Mystic Tools would actually have no enhancent limit.
He muttered in a low voice, "Does that an as long as I can withstand it, I can even enhance Mystic Tools directly to the 8th-Tier?"
For the original Weapon Lord, enhancing Mystic Tools couldn't surpass the upper limit of his own primary class tier. Only by using the Holy Hand to enhance them could he break through, but even then, he could only enhance them to the 7th-Tier.
But after forging the Holy Class, the upper limit was directly erased.
"As expected of a Holy Class." Su Chen's gaze burned hotly. The first ability was already sufficiently formidable.
And the [Immovable Vajra] seed even more formidable.
"A permanent state, not receiving any injuries? Could that be considered invincibility in a certain sense?" he speculated. The text only provided rough information; the specific details of the ability still needed to be experienced by himself.
Having just finished forging, his body was still sowhat weak. He chugged two mouthfuls of Nutrient Potion. While waiting to recover, Su Chen finally noticed that his Class Developnt Progress had actually reached 30%.
"I rember, when I ca out of the Fortune Bronze Core, it was only 25%."
Before entering the Fortune Bronze Core, his developnt progress had been roughly around 20%.
Being struck by lightning for a month, constantly lingering on the verge of severe injury, also had a certain stimulating effect on class developnt, increasing it by about 5%.
Forging the Holy Class just now seed to have stimulated it further, jumping it forward by another 5%.
It could be considered a small gain, and Su Chen's mood grew increasingly better. Once his body recovered to peak condition, he attempted to activate [Armant Physique].
Completely different from before, even prior to integrating the Mystic Tools into his body, he felt the violent changes occurring within him. A surge of hot blood erupted from his heart, seemingly activating all the cells in his entire body, emitting faint yet dense tremors beneath his skin and flesh.
Waves of air rolled and dispersed. A feeling of power burst forth. Su Chen felt it carefully. Solely regarding the defensive aspect, it couldn't compare to the Sovereign Vajra, but it was an all-around amplification.
Imdiately after, one Mystic Tool after another integrated into his body. The familiar sensation of fullness surged up, his various bodily attributes skyrocketed, and fine electric arcs exploded with crackling sounds.
Su Chen's eyes were startlingly bright. "Sure enough, the issue of overlapping abilities has been completely resolved."
Su Chen felt his incomparably solid body, took a deep breath, and began to rapidly enhance the Mystic Tools fused within him. His physical strength began to climb rapidly.
'No.'
After just a short mont, Su Chen stopped, secretly clicking his tongue. Compared to when the abilities were used separately before, the consumption was even greater.
Only then did he enter the Chakra Liberation state and rapidly enhanced the fused Mystic Tools to the 7th-Tier.
"Phew..." Both sides of Su Chen's cheeks were slightly flushed. He exhaled a long breath, which turned into a fierce gale whistling through the training room. Only then did he feel a bit better. "Too fierce."
At this mont, his body was terrifyingly robust, with golden electric arcs crackling and exploding around him. "Up to now, it has already surpassed the combined effect of the Sovereign Vajra and the Weapon Lord from before."
The previous Weapon Lord would have to stop at this point, unable to continue enhancing.
But Su Chen only paused for a mont before continuing to climb. A fierce gale abruptly whipped up, and the entire training room was filled with the aura he was emitting.
Yet, very quickly, Su Chen stopped again. 'No, I estimate that even with Chakra Liberation, I won't be able to hold on until I enhance all the Mystic Tools to the 8th-Tier. The consumption is too abnormal.'
Su Chen stopped continuing to enhance the fused Mystic Tools. After adapting for a mont, his mind stirred slightly, and he activated the second ability—Immovable Vajra.
In an instant, blazing blood-red light spewed out from around his body, quite unlike the gentle and smooth manner when he used the Blood Burner previously.
Almost in a split second, he sensed intense stabbing pains coming from everywhere in his body. The frequency of his heartbeat abruptly skyrocketed, and his physical strength, which had been stagnant, pulled upward once again.
Blood-red electric arcs surged, shrouding the space around Su Chen. His skin faintly displayed a blood-gold color, and the terrifying power surging within his body reached an unprecedented level.
'This is simply...'
Su Chen raised his right hand and clenched it into an iron fist, the joints jutting out sharp angles from beneath his skin. He took a deep breath, and the surrounding air was sucked dry.
Boom!
As his fist smashed down, the tal floor of the training room was like a tortoise shell struck by a giant hamr, with spiderweb cracks exploding outward from the point of contact.
With only a booming rumble, rolling dust and smoke exploded, and the entire building seed to sway.
Su Chen was given a jump and hastily withdrew his power. A large hole had already been broken open in the training room's floor. The strength of the building materials outside couldn't compare to that of the training room.
'Under this state, unless I am overwhelmingly crushed, or I can't hold out myself, external attacks simply cannot break my defense.'
"Tsk..." The corners of Su Chen's mouth curled into a grin, but the experint was not over yet. 'I can't elevate all the Mystic Tools to the 8th-Tier, but what if I only elevate one?'
Thinking of this, he quickly locked onto his target—naturally, the mighty Great Hamr. Even in the Chakra Liberation state, this consumption could be considered like opening the floodgates.
The corner of Su Chen's eyes twitched. Until a certain mont, power that was extrely exaggerated, even relative to this very mont, burst forth from his body.
But at that exact instant, his vision went dark. He rapidly deactivated all his abilities. The sudden weakness transmitted from his body caused him to stumble backward, almost falling over.
'Testing that ability just now consud too much. It only lasted for a fleeting mont, but it can indeed elevate to the 8th-Tier. If it's in combat, I estimate I only have the power for a single strike.'
Su Chen panted heavily, chugging various potions into his internal organs as if they were free. After so brief testing, he generally had a solid grasp of his own abilities.
'It's very strong, but the consumption is indeed too great. Under full power, if I don't enhance the Great Hamr to the 8th-Tier, even with Chakra Liberation, I estimate I can only hold out for about a minute.'
'The burden the Holy Class places on the body is truly too great, but once the Eternal Physique is forged, I estimate it will be greatly alleviated.'
'Furthermore, the Holy Hand seems unable to affect the Holy Class.' Su Chen carefully felt it for a mont and confird this point.
Chugging another two mouthfuls of Nutrient Fluid, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The version of himself before forging the Holy Class probably couldn't even break his current defense.
'Right now, I should be able to break through the limitations of Shen Yi'an's so-called God-Control. I don't know if I can win; it'll probably be a bit difficult. I'm still lacking in many other aspects.'
'Mainly, I can't sustain it! A child wielding a Great Hamr—if swung for too long, they'll end up injuring themselves instead.'
Su Chen secretly calculated. Not long after, he suddenly received a notification that a visitor had arrived, and a virtual screen popped up.
At the port, it was Qing Cang stepping out of his flight vehicle.
"Lao Qing." Su Chen was sowhat surprised. He tidied up briefly and exited the training room.
"Senior Brother, you're truly a rare guest." From a long distance away, Su Chen greeted him.
Qing Cang glanced at him, faintly sensing that Su Chen seed to have undergone so changes again, but he was already used to it. Every so often when he saw Su Chen, he would have this feeling.
He said coolly, "Lu Huai is about to leave. He asked to ask you when the last person who needs to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt is going over?"
Lu Huai is leaving?
Su Chen's footsteps paused, and he couldn't help but frown. "What's the situation? Why is he suddenly leaving?"
"Suddenly?" Qing Cang gave him a sowhat strange look. "Lu Huai has been in our order for over half a year. Our transaction ended months ago."
Su Chen feigned confusion. "I thought they would stay here and leave after watching the Peak Star Tournant."
"How is that possible." Qing Cang shook his head. "The Royal Court is urging them urgently. We were the ones who intercepted these people from the Royal Court several months ago in the first place."
"Royal Court?" A slight stir arose in Su Chen's heart.
Qing Cang then explained, "Earlier on, Han Xingliu went to see him once."
Qing Cang didn't really care about this matter. Lu Huai taking the Profound Heaven Instrunt to the Royal Court was sothing that had been settled very early on.
Fortunately... Su Chen felt a bit thankful. Fortunately, as both groundwork and a precaution against Lu Huai's sudden departure, he had deliberately ntioned to Qing Cang that he still had one last person who needed to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt on his end, effectively stalling the other party.
Otherwise, the other party would have likely already left by now.
"Why is the Royal Court in such a desperate hurry over the Profound Heaven Instrunt? Elevating a few Star-Amber Grade Talents shouldn't have that big of an impact on them, right?" Su Chen couldn't help but be curious.
"A few Star-Amber Grade Talents naturally aren't a big deal." Qing Cang shook his head, his eyes flickering. "According to my deduction, it should be to explore the thod of postnatally elevating to the Divine Dawn Grade."
"It's possible to elevate to the Divine Dawn Grade postnatally?" Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaid in astonishnt.
Qing Cang wasn't entirely certain either. "Perhaps the Royal Court has made so new progress. Divine Dawn Grade Talent isn't completely untraceable. In essence, it's inherited from the Morning Star Tier—sothing to do with bloodline genes. Perhaps it really is possible to achieve."
Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "Is it only the descendants of the Morning Star Tier who have the possibility of becoming Divine Dawn Grade?"
Qing Cang saw through his thoughts at a glance. "What, you want to as well?"
Su Chen chuckled. Qing Cang shook his head and said, "This matter isn't that simple. Even if the Royal Court wants to achieve it, the price they have to pay probably won't be small. Just forget about it."
"We've strayed far off topic. When is that person of yours who needs to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt going over?"
"They'll go over in these next two days," Su Chen gave a vague prevarication.
"Alright, let know when the ti cos." Qing Cang nodded, not taking the matter to heart. He turned around, preparing to leave, but was stopped again by Su Chen.
"Senior Brother, accompany on a trip to Dragon Abyss."
"Dragon Abyss?" Qing Cang halted and turned back sowhat surprisedly. "Why the sudden urge to go to Dragon Abyss?"
Su Chen explained, "Hasn't the leaderboard been released? I want to get the Marrow of the Morning Star as soon as possible."
"Isn't making a move now a bit early?" Qing Cang was sowhat hesitant. "The Royal Court clearly wants to glean more information from you. It wouldn't be too late to make your move when it's ti to finalize things."
Su Chen shook his head and said, "I saw that none of those guys who forged a Sacred Class have any intention of making a move. If I take first place directly, it should leave the Royal Court with nothing to say."
"That's what you're thinking?" Qing Cang had an epiphany, looking thoughtful. "That does make sense. The fact that those guys who forged a Sacred Class are all hiding themselves does give you an opportunity."
"Can't you just go by yourself? Do you really need to tag along?"
"Senior Brother is busy today?" Su Chen nodded, talking to himself, "Since that's the case, we'll wait until Senior Brother is free, and then you can accompany there."
"You..." Qing Cang was speechless. "You are way too careful. Dragon Abyss is considered the core of the sect, after all."
"Caution keeps the ship sailing," Su Chen sighed with emotion. "Even if there's a possibility of becoming a Radiant Moon Tier professional in the future, if I suddenly drop dead, what's the use?"
He had already tricked them as much as possible before, and the Mist Embers had the highest priority. He could basically be certain that Black Buddha would target Qin Tianlin first, but he couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any unexpected situations.
"True, but for soone your age to act so incredibly old-fashioned all day, without any drive at all..." Qing Cang was helpless and didn't say anything more. He boarded the flight vehicle together with Su Chen and headed toward Dragon Abyss.
"Senior Brother."
On the way, Su Chen watched the scenery passing by outside the flight vehicle and stroked his chin. "Tell , if I take first place, will this Royal Court give the Marrow of the Morning Star?"
"Probably." Qing Cang hesitated slightly upon hearing this. "They might deliberately stall a bit, but don't worry, this thing will end up in your hands sooner or later."
Speaking up to this point, Qing Cang's expression couldn't help but turn sowhat peculiar. This was the Peak Star Tournant, after all, and those on the preliminary leaderboard weren't simple figures either; they were all elites among elites cultivated by the major sects.
In the preliminary stages of the past, no one would have ever thought that a 6th-Tier Professional could climb over their heads. But now, he actually felt that it was sowhat to be expected. It was truly...
