Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1097 Lu Li: He's got quite a bit to offer.
"Junior Brother, you...you've emerged from seclusion?"

"This...your body..."

During the morning class, all the fellow disciples stared at Lu Li in shock, each of them feeling as if they were dreaming.

The Second Elder, who was in charge of giving the sermon today, flashed to Lu Li's side, grabbed Lu Li's arm, and began to grope him up and down despite Lu Li's objections.

"Second Elder...I..."

Lu Li felt very uncomfortable being touched by the Second Elder. He thought to himself, "I just came out of seclusion to listen to the morning lesson, why am I being treated like this?"

The Second Elder frowned slightly, looking at Lu Li with a strange gaze. "Strange, strange indeed, it really is complete. His bones and flesh are perfectly integrated, his power is under his control, his blood and qi are dormant, and he has hidden great power. It is truly a perfect manifestation of a great body."

She then looked at the others, "How long has Li'er been practicing this technique?"

Although she knew when Lu Li had arrived at Martial God Mountain, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Also present was Lu Li's senior brother, who had attended classes with him back then. He stepped forward and said, "If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Li went up the mountain twenty years ago to officially begin cultivating the perfect body. It must have been around this time."

For a moment, the expressions of those present became even more strange, because they had never heard of anyone being able to cultivate a perfect body so quickly.

"Junior Brother Lu Li... he's already broken the record, hasn't he?"

"Yes, whether here or in the Supreme Divine Land, this should be the fastest record of successful cultivation of a perfect body."

"Hiss... Twenty years, only twenty years. I feel like I've been living in a daze for the past twenty years, and it's gone in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Junior Brother Lu Li has cultivated a perfect body. When will I finally achieve great success?"

"Sigh, I wonder where the End Space found such a monster. Was it sent here to undermine us?"

"..."

The senior students present all sighed repeatedly. Perhaps some of them should now call Lu Li their senior brother.

Because Mount Wushen believes in the principle of "might makes right," the seniority and hierarchy among the true disciples are determined by their strength. For example, the current senior sister is not the oldest among the true disciples, but she is respectfully called senior sister by everyone because she is the strongest.

These achievements were earned through battle, and have nothing to do with age.

"I've heard the third brother mention you before, but I never imagined you'd be so extraordinary..."

The Second Elder also sighed repeatedly, noting that the person in charge of lecturing at Wushen Mountain wasn't always the Third Elder; every few decades, a different person would be assigned to each lecture, and the types of lectures they were responsible for would also change.

For example, the Second Elder is responsible for managing the Soul Refining Tower and also for explaining the true meaning of the Soul Intent to the disciples, helping the disciples of Martial God Mountain cultivate their Soul Intent.

She had long heard that Lu Li possessed extraordinary comprehension and even helped the Third Elder with his classes, earning the sincere admiration of many disciples. However, she hadn't been visiting the area during that time, so she was unaware of the actual situation.

Seeing that Lu Li's perfect body had been cultivated to perfection, she was naturally shocked. As for the fact that Lu Li's basic attributes had improved a lot, she was also somewhat surprised, but not unexpected.

After all, she knew that Lu Li had obtained a large amount of Secret Blood Crystals by trading with many senior brothers and sisters on Martial God Mountain. Lu Li might have a way to absorb the power in them and become stronger. Such strength might have been forced, but it was not impossible.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, and Second Elder, why are you all looking at me like that? It's just that I've mastered a cultivation technique..."

Feeling uncomfortable under the gazes of everyone, Lu Li said, "This is the cultivation technique that I have spent the longest time comprehending and mastering."

He was telling the truth. After all, he could easily comprehend the profound techniques he had practiced in the past, such as the Hunyuan Overlord Body Technique.

With his current level of cultivation, he could easily understand the essence of that level of technique at a glance, and he could even write several books on it on the spot.

Although the perfect body is mysterious, he doesn't think it's that difficult. Many aspects just require time and resources. If you grasp the essentials of cultivation, achieving a perfect body in the past twenty years is just a natural outcome.

"Ah this."

One of the senior brothers who was closer to Lu Li only uttered these two words, while the others looked at Lu Li with strange eyes, thinking that Lu Li was showing off again.

But heavens behold, Lu Li hadn't yet revealed that he was multitasking, simultaneously smoking opium to enhance his own power, studying numerous cultivation techniques he'd acquired from the Martial Pavilion, and simultaneously perfecting his body—it had taken him twenty years to achieve this.

Lu Li felt that if he focused on cultivating a perfect body and had all the resources available, he might only need three or four years.

"Alas, we really underestimated the heroes of all realms. I've always considered myself to have good comprehension, but even with this perfect body, I've only just entered the beginner level after 20,000 years of cultivation."

Some people sighed, and others shook their heads.

They wouldn't feel jealous of Lu Li's talent, because if someone is only slightly better than you, you might be jealous, but if someone is exceptionally outstanding, you'll feel like they're from a different world, and you won't feel jealous at all; you'll just think it's too unbelievable.

The true disciples of Wushen Mountain have basically perfected their bodies, because this body-refining technique is not only a good way to enhance one's own qi and blood and physique, but also allows one to perfectly control one's body when fighting enemies. From exerting force to dodging, there will be a qualitative improvement. One can even make all kinds of strange postures and exert force in postures and angles that are hard for ordinary people to imagine.

This greatly enhances a person's options in battle. When someone with a perfect body fights, their moves are ever-changing and impossible to defend against.

Such a powerful ability is naturally not easy to master. Since the founding of Martial God Mountain by its mountain lord, the fastest record of mastering the perfect body realm is three thousand years.

That person was already considered a prodigy for setting such a record back then, and he continued to advance rapidly, eventually becoming the strongest in this world. Now he is the Grand Elder of Martial God Mountain.

Even if the scope of the record were expanded to the entire Divine Martial Continent, there has never been a record faster than that of the Grand Elder.

As for the place of origin of this method, the Supreme Divine Land, although it is said to be the source of the method, the students there are really disappointing.

It is said that the academy, which is jokingly called the "Muscle Cult," is a place where students spend their days drinking and having fun, without any ambition. Many disciples take a hundred million years to even enter the cult, and even the best among them may not be able to reach the state of perfect physique even after hundreds of millions of years.

Therefore, the people of the Divine Martial Continent have always looked down on the students of the Supreme Divine Land, feeling that the atmosphere there is too mild and the students are too weak.

However, there are also rumors that, aside from the person who created this method, a student in the history of the Muscle God Cult once achieved a perfect physique in just four years. However, this rumor is treated as a joke by the disciples of Martial God Mountain, who believe that the Muscle God Cult is concerned with saving face and wants to maintain the highest and unsurpassable cultivation record as the source of the method.

Lu Li has only been in seclusion for twenty years and has already cultivated a perfect body. If we exclude the Muscle God Cult's unverifiable records, Lu Li has set a new record that is hard to surpass.

"Please, fellow senior brothers and sisters, don't look at me like that..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes seemed to say 'we can't be friends anymore,' Lu Li felt helpless. So he pointed to Lu Xueqing, who was sitting on the futon with her eyes closed, and said, "What about her? You see, she hasn't gotten arrogant. She might have already mastered it."

"I have a special constitution, and I have only comprehended the middle part so far. I have not yet fully understood the Return to Origin chapter."

The Valkyrie opened her eyes and looked at Lu Li with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She was secretly astonished because she hadn't expected Lu Li to cultivate the Perfect Body so quickly.

She came to the Divine Martial Continent with several trials on her mind, one of which was to learn how to perfect her body.

Her stay on the Divine Martial Continent was the same as Lu Li's, ten thousand years, which shows that the person who gave her this task did not think that this technique could be easily learned in a short time.

In fact, she is quite capable and has already mastered most of it in twenty years. She is only a little confused about the final chapter, Guiyuan, which she is currently working on.

As for her body remaining unchanged, that's truly a matter of constitution. She knows her own body best; ever since she completed her Dao foundation in the previous world, her body has been infinitely close to perfection. Therefore, the side effects of a perfect body on her in terms of increasing strength and blood energy are not apparent.

What she wanted to cultivate was the ultimate form in the Guiyuan Chapter, where the body could be controlled at will and power could be mobilized without any delay.

However, she has not slacked off in her cultivation over the years, and has been single-mindedly studying the perfect body. She has not even been to the Soul Refining Tower twice, but in the end she is only stuck at the Returning to Origin chapter. She estimated that it would take at least another hundred years to fully master it.

Now that Lu Li has emerged from seclusion and claims to have cultivated a perfect body, how could she not be surprised?

It was unusual for her to be outshone in terms of comprehension and talent, which made her feel even more that Lu Li was her lifelong rival.

At the same time, she also discovered that Lu Li's strength had greatly increased and his basic attributes had surpassed hers. Although she couldn't say she was frustrated, she secretly vowed to work harder and catch up with Lu Li as soon as possible.

"You still haven't figured it out? Is there something difficult to understand here?"

Lu Li sat down next to the Valkyrie without a second thought, and his first words were incredibly irritating.

Of course, Lu Li himself did not think that his words were provocative. He just subconsciously felt that the Valkyrie was the same kind of person as him. If he could understand it, how could she not understand it? He felt that this technique was not particularly difficult.

"you……"

The Valkyrie opened her mouth, momentarily speechless with anger, but seeing Lu Li's calm gaze, she realized she had misunderstood him. With his extraordinary comprehension, he probably really thought learning the Perfect Body was a matter of course.

"Oh~"

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly looked at the Valkyrie with a drawn-out tone, his eyes seeming to be able to see through her clothes as he scanned her up and down.

Lu Li's behavior made the Valkyrie feel uncomfortable, because she felt that Lu Li's Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes were operating at full power, as if he had stripped her naked and seen everything about her. There was not a single secret about her in Lu Li's eyes.

This made Lu Xueqing instinctively cross her arms and glare at Lu Li, "What are you looking at!?"

How could she not know that with Lu Li's profound martial arts eyes, he could truly see through appearances to the essence of things? The clothes she wore were obtained through her own efforts in the space, and were only at the Chaos level, matching her attributes before entering the world. Naturally, they could not prevent Lu Li's thieving eyes from seeing her now that his strength had greatly increased.

She had already activated her profound skills, using her qi and blood to cover her body with fascia, but she couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry, because she hadn't expected Lu Li to be so rude.

After all, although cultivators' martial arts eyes can see through many things, people generally don't look at each other on the mountain. That would be too impolite, would arouse hatred, and would be despised by everyone.

Moreover, Mount Wushen is now dominated by women, with the mountain lord and the leaders of the disciples all being women. Eight out of the top ten true disciples are women, so the 'female fists' here are quite formidable.

If a male disciple dares to use his Martial Arts Eye to peep around, even if the female disciple opposite him is not as skilled as him, she can run to the senior and second senior sisters to complain, and the peeping tom will probably be skinned alive.

Of course, the true disciples weren't so bored as to spy on each other. As for fighting during sparring, both sides naturally gave it their all, and there was no distinction between men and women in the battle.

"Huh? Let me see why you haven't learned it yet."

Lu Li asked, puzzled, "Isn't it because the energy flow path at the Feishu acupoint isn't clear? Also, there's too much stagnant energy in your Yutang acupoint, which is actually detrimental to blood circulation..."

Lu Li was curious about what the Valkyrie was lacking when he heard that she hadn't succeeded in her cultivation. Of course, he didn't deny that he had a certain sense of superiority and a bit of a tendency to be a know-it-all.

After all, it's impossible not to feel proud when you see your rival fail to outdo you in this area.

But Lu Li really didn't mean any offense. He was just examining the Valkyrie's body with an academic, exploratory, and corrective eye. Hmm... he had to admit, she was quite well-endowed under that bodice...

"It turns out..."

The Valkyrie realized what Lu Li meant and, after a moment's thought, was surprised to find that Lu Li was right; she had indeed misdirected her energy in those two places.

But when she came to her senses again, she saw that Lu Li was still staring at her, and she became somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, her expression turning even colder. "Is it pretty?"

"what?"

Lu Li was still seriously recalling the scenery he had just seen—or rather, the sample for error correction. The Valkyrie had used her profound power to conceal her body and acupoints, but he was still trying to figure out if there was anything amiss in what he had just seen.

Caught off guard by the Valkyrie's sudden question, Lu Li instinctively replied, "Hmm... It is indeed a perfect body... Oh no, I mean your Perfect Body Technique is almost complete."

The Valkyrie's expression was uncertain, but she was also curious about where she was lacking. At the same time, she was secretly shocked. Could Lu Li really see her flaws? Was his talent and comprehension so strong that not only could he do it himself, but he could also see why others couldn't?
At this moment, the Second Elder, who was the lecturer, had also returned to his position. He looked over here with curiosity in his eyes. "Lu Li, why don't you tell me again, is there anything wrong with what Xue Qing is cultivating?"
