Chapter 149: Ch 149- Back to Cultivation [Bonus]

On the 100th floor, all the Sovereign Realm cultivators were gathered together, discussing what had happened during the selection tournament.

"It was really surprising to find a talent like her," David said, clearly referring to Ming Yue.

Qin Jiang, who had been observing the entire tournament with his Origin Sense, nodded. "She is indeed a monster. I don’t think there is anyone in Cang Lan Base who could easily defeat her."

He paused for a moment before looking toward Mo Yuan.

"Of course, Mo Yuan doesn’t count."

Mu Bai laughed. "Don’t be too modest, Qin Jiang. Your son Qin Wushang is also an impressive genius. With his Berserk talent giving him a fifteen times increase in strength, combined with his sword technique that gives another three times boost, he might be able to defeat her."

Qin Jiang laughed. "Of course, Wushang is strong but if Ming Yue had received proper guidance from childhood like Wushang did, she would probably be even stronger."

Bai Chuan nodded. "If she enters the Holy Academy, her rate of growth will probably leave most people behind."

The others agreed. A talent that could learn and adapt to an opponent’s techniques so quickly was extremely rare.

David suddenly turned toward Mo Yuan with a teasing smile.

"Mo Yuan, what do you think? Can you defeat her?"

The others also looked at him with interest.

Mo Yuan thought for a moment before answering honestly.

"She is indeed very strong and her talent is quite amazing but the gap between us is still too large."

He smiled lightly.

"Not to brag but I should be able to defeat her almost instantly."

Mo Yuan was not trying to show off. With his current strength, speed and talents, Ming Yue simply could not keep up with him. Her talent was extraordinary but compared to his talents, she was still very behind.

The room became quiet for a moment before David burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Yes, yes. If she is a genius, then you are a monster."

The others also laughed.

Mo Yuan scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Senior, you are overpraising me."

After the laughter died down, Mo Yuan asked, "Senior David, when will the Secret Realm open?"

"It should open in about a week," David replied. "If there is any delay, we will inform you."

Hearing that, Mo Yuan felt relieved.

That was enough time for his Copy and Paste talent cooldown to finish.

Once the cooldown ended, he could copy Ming Yue’s Enlightenment Talent.

Just thinking about it made Mo Yuan look forward to it.

At that moment, Bai Chuan suddenly said to David, "Don’t forget to tell her to join Holy Base. The admission period is getting close. If all of them go together, at least they will have people they know there."

Mo Yuan immediately became interested.

"Senior David, are the other geniuses also going to the Holy Base?"

By "other geniuses," he was referring to the three famous young geniuses of Cang Lan Base, as well as Ming Yue.

David nodded.

"They are going but whether they can actually get selected is another matter. Unlike them, you have almost no need to worry about being rejected."

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Why didn’t they go before? They should have already been old enough, right?"

"They did," David replied, his expression becoming slightly serious. "They went when they reached fifteen but none of them passed the admission test."

Mo Yuan was slightly surprised.

"None of them?"

David nodded.

"The competition is extremely high. Geniuses from all the Tier 1 and Tier 2 bases across humanity gather there. The number of people who pass is very small."

Mu Bai sighed. "The Holy Base has the strongest geniuses humanity can produce. Even someone who is considered a genius in Cang Lan Base may only be considered average after reaching there."

Mo Yuan nodded slowly.

So that was how it was.

Cang Lan Base was already powerful, yet even its top geniuses had failed to enter the Holy Base.

It seemed the place was much more difficult to enter than he had imagined.

David looked at Mo Yuan and smiled.

"But you don’t have to worry about that. With your current strength, your situation is completely different."

Mo Yuan smiled but didn’t say anything.

’Holy Base, huh?’

He had already heard so much about it.

Sooner or later, he would see it for himself.

After talking for a while, the group finally began to leave the Human Federation Tower. Mo Yuan also stood up and looked toward David.

"Senior, I will also take my leave."

David nodded with a smile. "Alright. Focus on your cultivation. I will see you on the day the Secret Realm opens."

"Alright, Senior."

Mo Yuan said goodbye to the others before entering the elevator. Soon, he reached the ground floor and walked out of the Human Federation Tower.

The streets were still busy but Mo Yuan did not stop and he quickly made his way toward his home.

When he arrived, he expected the house to be empty. It was only around two in the afternoon, so Mo Ran should still have been at the academy.

However, the moment he opened the door, he saw Mo Ran sitting on the sofa.

As soon as she saw him, she waved her hand.

"Brother, where have you been? I didn’t even see you leave this morning."

"I left while you were sleeping. I had some work to do," Mo Yuan replied with a smile.

His eyes then moved toward the other side of the sofa.

The Void Cat was lying there lazily, fast asleep. It barely moved when Mo Yuan entered, only flicking its ears before continuing to sleep.

Mo Yuan shook his head with a small smile.

He chatted with Mo Ran for a few minutes before returning to his room.

There was still about a week before the Secret Realm opened. Rather than wasting that time, he decided to focus completely on cultivation.

’I should be able to break through to the middle stage of the Origin Soul Realm within a week.’

He was already very close to the breakthrough. With his current cultivation speed and the large amount of beast blood he had stored, he was confident he could make it.

Mo Yuan entered the cultivation chamber and closed the door behind him.

He took out his stored beast blood and quickly filled the entire cultivation container.

The thick blood filled the container, releasing a strong energy that made the surrounding Primordial Qi fluctuate slightly.

Mo Yuan stepped inside.

He activated his Body Morph talent.

In the next moment, countless small mouths appeared across his body. They opened and began absorbing the energy from the beast blood at an astonishing speed.

Mo Yuan then activated his Devour talent.

The absorption speed increased once again.

He sat cross-legged inside the container and slowly closed his eyes.

The peaceful expression on his face disappeared as his entire mind entered a state of cultivation.

The energy of the beast blood continuously entered his body, strengthening his flesh and meridians.
