Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 37 - 34: Newborn Transformation, From Nine to Eight

Chapter 37: Chapter 34: Newborn Transformation, From Nine to Eight

"For the next few days, you don’t need to come to class for training. Just focus on going through the transformation of your mortal body."

Old Liang smiled with satisfaction. How could he not perceive the burgeoning life force within Qin Shi.

It was like a budding branch, waiting for the nourishment of rain and the embrace of sunlight,

to grow tall and mighty, forming a towering presence.

"Unlike the gradual progress of New Martial, the Old Martial Path breaks the physical limits of the body, each time feeling like a rebirth. Relish this wonderful taste."

Upon hearing Old Liang’s words, Qin Shi’s eyes lit up brightly.

The transformation brought by the Dragon Tendon had already been a pleasant surprise for him.

He had thought it would end there, not expecting more to come.

"It’s like pulling a guaranteed card and suddenly seeing a golden flash... what a wonderful thing."

Qin Shi rubbed his hands expectantly. All the hardships and sufferings he endured were not in vain.

Now he had broken through the ten-point life force barrier, needing just another two or three points.

Certainly securing ninth rank at the Amateur Level in the exams was a sure thing.

This meant there was still significant room for improvement before the term started.

"But with the transformation of the mortal body, a second rebirth also has its drawbacks. You must pay attention to this, Shi."

Old Liang suddenly changed his tone.

"What? If it’s just about maintaining your virginity and avoiding women, I think I’m fine!"

Qin Shi stood tall with a righteous air.

Following the Old Martial Sect’s traditional practices, they might require disciples to remain virgins, having a Pure Yang Body.

For him, it was not a big deal!

After all, Dongxia was different from his previous life, the internet was highly developed, and enchanting demons were everywhere, disturbing the Dao Heart.

You should know, the workers’ children on Old Factory Street still stealthily watched X-rated tapes and considered manual activities shameful, a stage of innocence. Compared to the rampant lewd atmosphere of his previous life, it can be described as simple folk customs.

"That’s not necessary, the Old Martial Sect is not about being a monk, we don’t stress that."

Old Liang shook his head:

"But during the newborn stage, your appetite will increase, and two boxes of nutritional paste a day may not be enough for you.

After breaking the limits, your body needs to replenish energy, and the more, the better.

Given the current situation, at least four boxes of nutritional paste are needed to satisfy your needs..."

It’s going to cost money?

Qin Shi’s heart skipped a beat and it felt like a knife cutting his heart.

Savings were steadily decreasing by 352 yuan every day!

Who could withstand this!

"The black market business on Old Factory Street isn’t large. Smuggling contraband and high-energy food from officials usually comes from Yan City.

Otherwise, I would have considered getting some for you.

During the newborn stage, the better you eat, the more robust the increase in life force."

Old Liang sighed. He had not saved much money over the years.

Thinking about feeding himself and sparing his family from hunger, he spent all his salary.

Determined, he took Qin Shi as his last disciple, but found himself being stretched thin.

It was like picking up a child to raise, being forced to earn milk money.

"It’s just a few boxes of nutritional paste, no need for Master Liang to worry, I can afford it."

Qin Shi had no intention of continuing to sponge off his mentor shamelessly. Old Liang had already subsidized him quite a lot.

As a disciple, not reciprocating enough in terms of care and gifts was one thing, but to turn around and drain his master’s resources was another.

Letting this get out would be laughable!

...

...

After leaving Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School, Qin Shi did not go to Midnight Imperial Palace but asked Xie Yucheng to take leave for him.

Then he tearfully spent over a thousand yuan to buy twelve boxes of Long Xiang Ji nutritional paste.

Returning to the home in the shack, sitting on his bedroom bed, Qin Shi began to activate [Muscle Memory].

One-click to enter the mode of capturing qi sensitivity and starting small circulations!

Inhale! Exhale!

A flow of warm qi circulated within his body, traversing through flesh, skin, and bones.

As Qin Shi’s diaphragmatic breathing became increasingly intense, the bedroom was like a bellows moving, making a whooshing sound.

Outside, the youngest sibling, Qin Lan, who was cooking, looked worried:

"Second Brother, what’s he doing? It sounds like he’s going to blow the roof off."

Every 40 minutes of qi sensitivity circulation, Qin Shi’s internal energy was completely exhausted, every cell screamed with hunger.

Like a starving ghost that hadn’t eaten for days, he grabbed a box of nutritional paste and started devouring it.

Whatever terrible texture and taste, he didn’t consider.

He just wanted to fill the bottomless pit of his stomach!

In less than two minutes, the box of high-calorie nutritional paste was consumed.

The highly concentrated carbohydrates didn’t provide Qin Shi much satiety.

"Still hungry..."

He opened another box of nutritional paste and continued to gorge, as if the sticky substance, which even a dog wouldn’t eat, was some rare delicacy.

In this way, after finishing six boxes, the persistent hunger that kept assaulting his brain finally disappeared.

"So sleepy."

After eating his fill, Qin Shi felt drowsy and, pushing open the door to briefly inform Qin Lan, returned to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

[Intermediate Achievement - Deep Sleep (5/30)]

The next morning, he slowly opened his eyes, ignoring the floating text on his retina.

After a brief wash, he continued training and using nutritional paste to replenish the lost energy.

"So this is the newborn stage? Like a newly born baby, all there is to do is eat and sleep, it seems inherent."

Qin Shi immersed himself in the transformation of his mortal body, his flesh seemed filled with vitality, sparkling in introspection.

The red and white colors of his limbs and torso grew deeper and brighter, nearly as dazzling as high-powered spotlights.

Only his brain, heart, lungs, and other organs appeared somewhat dim, distinctly inferior.

Calling up the Monument Panel, the data updated, scrolling down -

[Anchor: Qin Shi]

[Growth Stage: Embryo]

[Progress: 0.011%]

[Monument Number: Deep Sleep (Intermediate),Muscle Memory (Intermediate),Overgrowth (Basic)]

[Skills: Combat Retrospect, Introspection]

"No wonder the Old Martial Sect dreams of breaking the limits of the physical body. It’s only been a day, and I’ve gained one point of life force.

And that’s without doing anything, just eating and sleeping."

Qin Shi marveled at the rebirth and transformation after breaking the limits, it was like a fundamental sublimation, immersing him deeply.

He stared intently at his reflection, the data lines updated silently signifying the outcomes.

Old Martial Arts Training Method Level 2 (5/30)

Old Martial Arts Style Level 1 (18/20)

Body 10.5→11.2

Spirit 10.1→10.9

"The significant growth feedback justifies the pain of tendon burning a few times."

Old Liang underestimated the nutritional paste Qin Shi needed during his newborn stage, possibly due to [Overgrowth], he possessed superior absorption and digestion abilities compared to his peers.

He had to consume six boxes of nutritional paste daily to meet his normal metabolic needs.

"This transformation will probably last four days... meaning I’ll need to spend over two thousand yuan."

Seeing his wallet shrink continuously, Qin Shi felt a sense of urgency.

Even with two jobs, it’s hard to cover the increasing expenses.

Who said hard work leads to wealth...

Qin Shi ground his teeth, he couldn’t take on four jobs, could he?

Even if the life force breakthrough ten points, it cannot withstand such exhaustion!

"The money left by my elder sister is simply not enough."

Suppressing the idea of sudden wealth in his heart, Qin Shi continued his monotonous routine of gorging on nutritional paste and sleeping.

A total of five days passed, and the youngest sibling, Qin Lan, who was doing household chores believed her second brother had been heartbroken due to a failed love confession and decided to wallow in misery.

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became, her eyes filled with determination, preparing to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family alone.

With a deep thud, a weighty sound reverberated!

Like a wooden mallet striking a drum, it buzzed in the ears!

"An earthquake?"

Qin Lan widened her eyes, put down her paper, and pen, and dashed toward Qin Shi’s bedroom.

The wooden door creaked from the airflow before finally slamming to the ground with a bang.

"Second Brother..."

Qin Lan gaped, astonished. Qin Shi with a bare upper body, surrounded by white mist, the sweat evaporated forming billowing steam.

This scene resembled special effects in an old era movie where the protagonist masters a divine skill.

"The life force is maxed out."

Qin Shi, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, breathed calmly. A long and short stream of white air stretched and contracted at his nostrils, like tiny snakes.

The great progress in Old Martial Arts Training Method made it increasingly easier for him to capture qi sensitivity and complete circulations, releasing the surging heat within his body.

At a glance, he resembled a humanoid furnace!

Old Martial Arts Training Method Level 2 (14/30)

Old Martial Arts Style Level 2 (9/30)

Body 14.7→15.1

Spirit 14.5→14.9

"The fusion of body and spirit forms life force. I have broken through fifteen points.

The rewards for breaking the body’s limits are so rich, it feels like a dream."

Qin Shi was both shocked and delighted. He never imagined that developing life force would be so easy.

In a few short days, he was approaching the eighth rank of the Amateur Level!

"If I reach the eighth rank, the score bonus will be enough to get me into top academies like Heng University and Science University."

Suppressing his excitement, Qin Shi slowly withdrew the boiling qi sensitivity heat flow.

The abundant vitality in his mortal body gradually settled, the boiling current cooling, assimilated into his flesh.

He clearly felt his strength significantly increased, and his senses became sharper.

His entire physical strength seemed to have undergone a tremendous enhancement!

"I remember Old Liang said the minimum requirement for Refining Stance is twenty points of life force."

Qin Shi spread his five fingers, recalling the four profound images of ’Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain’:

"I’m not far from this step either."
