I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 91: Taking the Flame Heart Elixir to Complete the Five Elements

It's a pity that ever since transmigrating, Zhong Cang has been constantly affected by weak magical power.

Whether it's battling Yan Lingdie, Yan Lingwei, or competing with other geniuses in the First Wheel Sea, Zhong Cang's cultivation is always the lowest.

This low level is not just limited to his cultivation realm.

Because his Qi Consumption Technique is of low grade, the quality of his magical power is far inferior to that of other geniuses.

It can be said that in the past, he relied solely on the [Ignorant Heart Sword Art] to advance while dragging his cultivation behind.

The idea of using weakness to defeat strength may sound good, but it's like dancing on the edge of a blade. Zhong Cang really doesn't want to experience it again.

He wants to "dominate the weak with strength" and "overwhelm others with power."

In the past, because he didn't have a good technique, he could only dream of such a thing. But now, the opportunity has come!

"I absolutely must choose a powerful technique, absolutely!"

...

"Buzz..."

As the sect master waved his hand, a portal shimmering with flowing light appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Zhong Cang, you go first."

"Yue Qianqian, second."

"Zhang Yanghao, third..."

As the attendants called out, one genius after another stepped into the portal of flowing light and entered the Grotto-Heaven.

When it was Zhong Cang's turn, he was so excited that he almost rushed into the portal.

"Buzz..."

As Zhong Cang entered the Grotto-Heaven through the portal, his head instantly became dizzy. It took several breaths before he recovered from the dizziness.

And when the dizziness subsided, rows of stone tablets appeared before his eyes.

With his keen senses, Zhong Cang could see the names of the techniques on these stone tablets from a distance.

[Primordial Origin Palm], [Spirit Qi Great Palm Seal], [Mysterious Yang Finger], [Great Thousand Rope Hand], [Flood Dragon Transformation], [Wood Azure Dragon Secret]...

The stone tablets varied in size and stretched as far as the eye could see. According to Zhong Cang's estimation, there were tens of thousands of techniques and spells here.

The abundance of techniques and spells made Zhong Cang's heart beat faster.

At this moment, although he hadn't found it yet, Zhong Cang was certain that there must be a technique suitable for him here.

Thinking this way, Zhong Cang, with his fists clenched, didn't immediately rush into the group of stone tablets to find the technique he wanted.

Instead, he walked towards the training chambers arranged in the Grotto-Heaven.

In a slightly left area, he saw an Earth Level Low Grade training chamber that he could occupy.

While everyone else was excitedly searching for techniques, Zhong Cang walked alone towards the training chamber.

This behavior caught the attention of some people.

Most people were puzzled by Zhong Cang's actions and didn't understand his reasons for doing so.

Only a few people had an idea.

A "weak" young man holding a folding fan looked at Zhong Cang and muttered to himself:

"Techniques and secret skills may not mean much to us descendants of prestigious families. But for you low-born cultivators, they are the most anticipated treasures. With such precious treasures right in front of your eyes, how can you resist the temptation... Could it be that you're someone who just escaped from the secret prison for drug addicts?"

...

Zhong Cang was unaware of the evaluations behind him, and he didn't care.

The reason he didn't immediately choose a technique was that he didn't want his excited and impatient heart to influence his choice of technique.

"The assessment this time is very long, lasting a full thirty days (one-to-ten ratio). In such a long time, competing for temporary gains is meaningless. Choosing the right technique is more important."

"My current mood is not suitable for choosing a technique."

"Although the Sword Heart can make me forcibly calm down, the accumulation of Sword Heart will make the technique I choose lean towards swordsmanship, which is not appropriate."

Zhong Cang really likes swordsmanship, and swordsmanship is indeed powerful, but he doesn't plan to bind himself completely to the path of swordsmanship.

Heaven Rewards Diligence and Once Proven, Forever Proven also give Zhong Cang other choices.

Therefore, he plans to wait until his mood calms down before choosing the most suitable technique for himself.

In order to completely calm his mind, Zhong Cang prepared to spend more time in the cultivation chamber.

Of course, he wouldn't just sit idle.

During this time, Zhong Cang planned to take the Flame Heart elixir.

If his mind still wasn't calm, he was prepared to swallow some Gold Stone Jade Powder and practice the Scatter Beans into Soldiers technique.

...

"Buzz..."

After opening the cultivation chamber, Zhong Cang discovered a layer of light barrier at the entrance.

This light barrier concealed everything inside the room, so the Zhong Cang outside didn't feel anything strange.

But as Zhong Cang stepped into the light barrier, instantly, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards his body.

The concentration was so high that the spiritual energy in Zhong Cang's room had already turned into mist.

In this situation, with each breath, he took in a hundred times more compared to usual.

Moreover, each breath of spiritual energy here was pure and fresh, almost effortlessly assimilated by Zhong Cang.

Such an exaggerated cultivation environment made the word "luxury" involuntarily appear in Zhong Cang's mind.

But soon, he realized that he had underestimated things.

He underestimated the sect's efforts in cultivating geniuses.

As he sat cross-legged on the bed in the cultivation chamber, a cool sensation spread from Zhong Cang's lower body to his mind, making him clear-headed.

Only then did he realize that this bed was not ordinary. It was made from thousand-year-old ice and some special spiritual materials, with the effect of calming the mind and soothing the spirit.

On the tea table next to the bed, there were three fresh tea leaves.

There was a label next to them, which read "Enlightenment Tree Tea (Third Generation)."

"The mist-like spiritual energy, the thousand-year-old ice bed, and the Enlightenment Tree Tea. Does the sect provide such strong support to disciples?"

As soon as this thought appeared in Zhong Cang's mind, he rejected it.

"No, that's not right. Not everyone can enjoy this. I was chosen as the fifteenth in the first Wheel Sea, that's why I can enjoy such treatment. After me, the conditions for cultivators should gradually decrease."

"If it's beyond the top hundred, it's very likely that the only benefit will be the dense spiritual energy... I have to continue working hard. Obviously, the better I perform, the better conditions the sect will give us."

"If I can maintain the fifteenth... or even the tenth place by the end of the third round of assessments, I might have the chance to enjoy the current cultivation conditions at all times."

It was extremely difficult to achieve the tenth place among the crowd of Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivators, and none of those Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivators were weak.

But for the sake of future treatment, Zhong Cang was prepared to give it his all.

The new goal made Zhong Cang's heart surge, and he didn't suppress this emotion.

With this fiery mood, Zhong Cang took out the Flame Heart elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Boom..."

As the elixir entered his stomach, Zhong Cang felt as if a bomb had exploded inside him.

The explosive effect made Zhong Cang's body heat up, his blood and qi flowed rapidly, his skin turned red, and his heart seemed to be burning.

This fire burned Zhong Cang's heart and healed it at the same time.

Zhong Cang could feel that his heart was becoming stronger as it burned and healed.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The pounding of his heart was like the beating of a drum, making Zhong Cang's chest feel like it contained the heart of a giant beast.

The surging heartbeat also gave Zhong Cang endless strength.

At this moment, he felt that he had boundless power, as if he could move a mountain.

Of course, Zhong Cang knew that this sense of boundless power was illusory.

However, although he didn't have the power to move mountains, Zhong Cang's strength had indeed increased.

"Boom!"

As Zhong Cang clenched his fist, the air directly burst open in his grip.

This immense power fascinated Zhong Cang.

And as his heart transformed to a certain degree, a roaring ape phantom appeared around Zhong Cang and let out a furious roar.

The appearance of this phantom also meant that the final innate spell of the Five Beasts Infusion Technique was awakening.
