Chapter 41 - 39: Dominator Body!

Chapter 41: Chapter 39: Dominator Body!

What would he get if he threw the Demon Beast’s body refining divine technique into the mix to fuse? What kind of surprise awaited him? Su Tan looked forward to finding out.

The fusion did not take long.

"DING! Fusion successful. Quality enhancement of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Body Refinement Chapter: +1, +1, +1, +1..."

"DING! Quality breakthrough of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Body Refinement Chapter: +2..."

"DING! Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Body Refinement Chapter gains the special attribute Low-Level Demon Beast Dominator Body +1!"

...

Su Tan’s heart surged with excitement as he watched the continuous stream of system announcements flashing across the screen. The Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Body Refinement Chapter had actually gained so many incredible additions. Furthermore, he discovered something else worthy of celebration. As the quality of the Body Refinement Chapter improved, the qualities of the Qi Condensation technique, the Alchemy Skill, and Mountain Lean Strike were also rising.

It was a ripple effect. A rising tide lifts all boats. This was the true advantage of the Divine Scripture, the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace. By upgrading any single Chapter within it, the other Chapters would also receive the blessing of system energy, automatically enhancing their qualities.

What did quality enhancement entail? After injecting system energy and completing the fusion, the Daos and Laws within the manual were optimized. Various Dao Principles intertwined, truly achieving the concept that all paths lead to the same Great Dao. It automatically absorbed the essence and discarded the dross. If there were energy circulation meridians involved, it would automatically optimize the pathways, and so on.

Although the quality improvement in the other Chapters wasn’t as high as the Body Refinement Chapter—falling short by more than just a single tier—it was still heaven-defying. The fact that they could be strengthened alongside it was an excellent outcome.

At this moment, Su Tan felt fortunate to have created a Divine Scripture that even the system had never seen before, entirely unprecedented in history.

If he had simply placed the Cultivation Technique in one slot, the Martial Techniques in another, and the Alchemy Skill in yet another, strengthening the Body Refining Technique would only upgrade the Body Refining Technique itself. The items in the other equipment slots wouldn’t be enhanced at all.

He had seemingly created something incredibly powerful by accident.

"DING! Re-evaluating the cultivation difficulty of the Body Refining Technique... Result: [Extremely Difficult +1...]"

Su Tan was speechless. "Extremely difficult? Plus one?"

Just how difficult was it exactly? He had no real concept of it.

"And what exactly is a Demon Beast Dominator Body?" Su Tan wondered aloud.

"Demon Beast Dominator Body? It’s a Physique, one unique to Demon Beasts, boasting peerless physical strength. Even with a Dominator Body at minor success, one can crush an ordinary King’s Dao cultivator with nothing but sheer physical power!" Before the system could offer an explanation, the Little White Wolf beside him spoke up, staring at Su Tan intently.

Although it had no idea what Su Tan was doing or what he had just done, its eyes lit up at the mere mention of the words "Dominator Body."

"You know about the Dominator Body?" Su Tan asked the Little White Wolf.

"Of course I do. The Dominator Body is incredibly renowned within the Demon Beast Race. It’s similar to the Sacred Body possessed by you humans. Both the Dominator Body and the Sacred Body belong to the same tier of physical forms. However, in terms of pure physical strength, destructive power, and toughness, the Dominator Body completely outclasses the Sacred Body!" the Little White Wolf explained.

"Naturally, the Sacred Body has its own merits, which is why it can be compared to the Dominator Body. While it lacks the tyrannical edge of the Dominator Body, the Sacred Body focuses on nourishing the physical form, making it ideal for long-term development. The drawback of the Dominator Body is that it’s too aggressive and unyielding, easily leaving behind lasting damage and hidden trauma. Because of these hidden dangers, those who manage to cultivate it to Great Success are exceedingly rare!" it added, contrasting the differences between the two.

Su Tan understood. Simply put, the Dominator Body offered tremendous combat prowess but harmed the user just as much as the enemy, ultimately limiting its future potential. The Sacred Body was slightly weaker in combat, but its future was far brighter. Both were powerful, but neither was Perfect.

"What were you saying just now... about the Dominator Body?" the Little White Wolf pressed.

Su Tan pondered for a moment. Since the Little White Wolf was his pet, it seemed acceptable to share a few things with it.

"I just did a simple organization of your Secret Manual and created a brand-new Body Refining Technique. Based on my deductions, successfully cultivating this new Body Refining Technique will grant someone the Overlord Physique!" Su Tan said.

The Little White Wolf thought to itself, "Organize? I didn’t see you organizing anything! I only saw you sitting on the bed, staring blankly into space for several minutes..."

There were heavy suspicions, but the Little White Wolf completely ignored them. The part it found the most unbelievable was that this newly organized Cultivation Technique could transform a physical body into a Dominator Body after being cultivated.

"Impossible!" the Little White Wolf immediately rejected the idea upon hearing it.

"You’re a human, and a relatively weak one at that! With your current Physique, you’d struggle just cultivating a human’s Body Refining Technique. Don’t you have any idea how little you’d accomplish? Fine, even assuming you have some special ability to restore your body and can ignore the physical toll of cultivation, you might achieve something with a human Cultivation Technique. But if you try to cultivate a Demon Beast’s Cultivation Technique, it’s tantamount to seeking your own doom!" the Little White Wolf declared righteously.

"A Demon Beast’s Cultivation Technique is only suited for Demon Beasts. Why? Because a Demon Beast’s Physique is inherently superior to a human’s. Demon Beasts can utilize extreme methods for Body Refinement. If a Demon Beast and a human were to simultaneously cultivate the exact same Demon Beast Cultivation Technique, I am absolutely certain the human wouldn’t survive it! The human would be crippled, or even lose their life! With your Physique... it’s simply impossible to practice a Demon Beast’s Cultivation Technique. If you force it, I’m afraid your meager vitality regeneration won’t be able to keep up at all. You’d be killed instantly!"

Seeing that Su Tan was actually serious about this, the Little White Wolf began to panic. After all, its life was directly tied to Su Tan’s. What would happen to it if this fool cultivated himself to death?

"Furthermore, I’ve never heard of anyone developing a special Physique purely by relying on a Cultivation Technique! Bloodlines are innate, forged by heaven and earth. If you aren’t born with one, then you have zero chance of getting one in this lifetime. I advise you to drop this wishful thinking!" the Little White Wolf stated.

Instead of being frightened by the Little White Wolf’s warnings, Su Tan chuckled. He stroked his chin and fell deep into thought. "So you’re saying... the Dominator Body is actually pretty good, right?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

It was obvious that Su Tan hadn’t listened to a single word the Little White Wolf had said.

"Hey, hey, hey... did you even hear anything I just said?"

Su Tan didn’t answer. He simply stroked the little wolf pup’s back and mused, "However, a low-level Dominator Body should be a tier weaker than the actual Dominator Body you mentioned..."

The Little White Wolf rolled its eyes. It was utterly speechless. Well then, this guy really had completely ignored its advice.

"Regardless, it’s still a Dominator Body... it’s definitely an excellent thing. Perhaps if I throw a few more manuals into the mix, I can further upgrade the quality of the Body Refining Technique and transform it into a true Dominator Body?"

The Little White Wolf saw the look of eager anticipation on Su Tan’s face. It knew that further persuasion was useless. Whatever. This guy was blindly stubborn right now, and nothing it said would get through to him. It decided to just let him practice it and suffer a bit, waiting for him to back down on his own.

It shot Su Tan a look of disdain. Then, it stared at him with a look that clearly communicated its intent: it was going to wait and watch him make a total fool out of himself for ignoring its warnings.

"Do you have any other body refining methods? Can you give me a few more manuals?" Su Tan asked.

"No, I don’t have a single one left!" the Little White Wolf replied grumpily.

It thought to itself, "Give you more right now? I’d have to be sick in the head to give them to you! Just so you can die faster? Keep dreaming! You might be a fool, but I’m certainly not!"

Su Tan could sense the Little White Wolf’s righteous indignation, as well as its overwhelming skepticism. However, he didn’t care in the slightest. There was no way Su Tan was going to reveal the full truth about having a system.

Setting the Little White Wolf aside, he took a moment to calm his mind and then began cultivating the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Body Refinement Chapter.

"I want to see for myself just how hard this Difficulty +1 Body Refinement Chapter truly is!" he declared.

And what exactly was this Dominator Body?
