NOVPUBAs for the amount absorbed, that changes with one’s power level. The principle is to envision oneself as the ocean, the larger the ocean, the greater its capacity, and the more it can absorb. Everyone understands this; after all, a teacup can only hold so much.
This so-called ocean actually refers to the total amount of energy rather than the realm. The realm represents the quality of energy, while the total amount represents the quantity of energy---the larger the amount, the more can be absorbed. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
From this perspective, when it comes to absorbing damage at the same tier, Xin Yun dares to claim second place; throughout history, no one has dared to claim the first, after all... there is only one yuan of the 9.9 Grade Dragon Creation Stone, which contains the greatest amount of energy.
With Xin Yun’s current total energy, he can completely absorb all energy strikes from those of the same tier and star level without any damage. Even if his opponent is a few stars above Xin Yun, it would depend on the difference in their Dragon Balls’ grades.
If the opponent only uses a First-Grade Dragon Creation Stone, then even if they are ten stars above Xin Yun, he can still fully absorb their energy.
For this ability, Xin Yun has a name for it, called Hai Na Bai Chuan, a natural ability that cannot be honed through acquired training. In any case, it can absorb any energy strike at the same tier. For those whose strength surpasses Xin Yun, the calculation would depend on the grade levels of both parties’ Dragon Balls; at most, he can fully absorb energy strikes that are ten stars higher than him.
In this sense, Xin Yun is almost invincible within his tier, but it’s only almost. Once Xin Yun’s body is injured, he can still be killed, and if the energy strike is too powerful, he also wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Moreover, the most important point is, the likelihood of Xin Yun truly facing off against a First-grade Dragon Ball is not high. Take the Combat Dragon Academy for example, where the lowest they use is a Sixth Grade Dragon Creation Stone; on average, the grade level should be around seven, generally fluctuating between six, seven, and eight.
Xin Yun has an advantage, but it’s not as big as one might imagine. Generally speaking, he cannot fully absorb the energy of someone with a strength of three stars above his own.
Also, don’t forget that the higher the grade of the Dragon Ball, the slower the cultivation speed, and the harder it is to improve one’s strength. Generally, those who use Sixth or Seventh-grade Dragon Balls are normally two or three stars above Xin Yun. For instance, the Silver-haired Chief from yesterday was three full stars above Xin Yun.
Within Combat Dragon Academy, there are at least 400 people at the silver rank, 200 at One-star Silver, and over a hundred at Two-star Silver.
Moreover, this is just the beginning; as time goes on, the gap widens even further. Later on... surpassing Xin Yun by fifteen to twenty stars is completely normal; don’t be surprised...
If Xin Yun continues to cultivate at his current speed, by the time he is 18, he should reach over Thirty Stars, which is the Crystal tier. However, by the same age, many others have already reached around 60 stars, and that’s the disparity.
Of course, other than the high grade of the Dragon Creation Stone contributing to this gap, the main reason is that Xin Yun and others firmly refuse to use Dragon Crystals to accelerate their cultivation, which is quite helpless.
In comparison, although they also do not use Dragon Crystals, Yan Qingying cultivates with a Sixth Grade Dragon Creation Stone, which makes her cultivation speed one-third faster than Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang. As for Ming Xuan, it’s even more incredible; she uses a First-grade Dragon Creation Stone as small as a grain of rice, and her cultivation speed is 9.9 times that of Xin Yun!
Luckily, Xin Yun is quite fortunate to have found a prime environment like the underground space, where the Water Series Origin Energy is ten times more concentrated than the outside world. Coupled with the effects of the Energy Gathering Array, his cultivation speed has greatly increased.
Of course, even though the Energy Gathering Array can double the density of the surrounding energy, Xin Yun’s speed of advancement did not reach a terrifying 20 times. After all... the energy must be condensed before it can be stored in the space to accommodate more energy, thus Xin Yun can only keep up with the mainstream cultivation speed and cannot surpass it.
After an exhilarating battle, the three entered the Cultivation Room and began absorbing energy, which had become their regular activity this past year. During the day, they consolidated energy and practiced combat techniques; at night, they conducted actual combat training, then absorbed energy—a very well-regulated and steady routine.
It was not until dawn that the three of them stopped cultivating. After sending the two girls back to the dormitory, Xin Yun began his morning training. Having become the top student, he now had access to the massive, exclusive training room for the academy’s top students.
The day’s training went smoothly, and everything was calm until school was over in the evening. It was then that the academy once again buzzed with noise. However, this time, everyone was much calmer, probably due to the hunger they suffered from the night before. So, after finishing their meals, they all headed towards the Great Arena.
After dinner, accompanied by Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash, Xin Yun made his way to the Great Arena. Ke Zhan followed because he was a follower of Xin Yun. As for Speedy Slash, although not a follower, he greatly admired and looked up to Xin Yun, considering it an honor to be by his side.
This phenomenon exists everywhere, even in Earth’s schools; aren’t there always some followers around those who can stir up trouble and know how to fight? They would be the first to charge into a brawl, calling it loyalty! This is human nature, neither an exaggeration nor a false sense of bravado.
Moreover, birds of a feather flock together; you can’t expect a brawler to get along with a total wimp. In Speedy Slash’s eyes, among the extra-curricular Class Eleven, only Xin Yun and Ke Zhan were worthy of his admiration.
What Speedy Slash admired the most was that Xin Yun was on very good terms with the two top students of the academy and could even be described as intimate. Typically, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying were high above the rest, towering over all first-year students. Combined with the fact that the two girls didn’t like socializing much, they seemed particularly aloof and unapproachable.
Yet, in front of Xin Yun, the two girls were more obedient than the other, just like tame kittens—extremely cute and endearing. To be able to tame two Daughters of Heaven, and have both top students fervently follow him, who else in this world was worthy of Speedy Slash’s loyalty, if not Xin Yun? (To be continued.
