Supreme Devouring God

"Cultivation advancement speed, too fast!"

Qin Chen was invigorated.

Just yesterday, he was a mortal with no cultivation, but today he had actually advanced to the Second Layer of the Body Refinement Realm.

If word got out, surely no one would believe it.

"Stone coins! As long as I have stone coins, my cultivation can soar rapidly!"

A fervent glint shot from Qin Chen's eyes.

Ordinary people might possess stone coins, but they couldn't digest them quickly enough.

But he was different.

With the 'God Devouring Enlightenment Technique,' his speed of devouring stone coins was several times, even dozens of times, faster than ordinary people.

The next day.

"Qin Chen, are you up?"

It was Sheng Xuefu's voice.

Thump!

Qin Chen rolled out of bed.

"Sister Xueefu."

"Let's have breakfast."

Sheng Xuefu smiled and pointed inside his room.

Qin Chen looked over and saw two bowls of porridge.

"Is this the good stuff Sister Xueefu mentioned yesterday?"

"What's in this porridge?"

Seeing the surging Primordial Energy, Qin Chen knew that this was no ordinary meal.

"Primordial Spirit Rice."

Sheng Xuefu chuckled and then took a sip from her bowl.

"Porridge made from Primordial Spirit Rice?"

At that, Qin Chen was astounded.

He knew about Primordial Spirit Rice.

It was an ingredient rich in Essence of Primordial Qi and incredibly precious.

Normally, only the very wealthy could afford it.

This one bowl of porridge would cost at least two thousand gold coins.

Two thousand gold coins were equivalent to two stone coins!

This was too incredible.

Even disciples of the Inner Courtyard didn't enjoy such treatment.

"Thank you, Sister Xueefu."

Suddenly, Qin Chen felt it wasn't so bad being with Sheng Xuefu.

"It's all in the family, what's there to thank for?"

Sheng Xuefu laughed heartily.

Qin Chen sat down, eyeing the Primordial Spirit Porridge.

With just one bowl of Primordial Spirit Porridge, he wouldn't feel hungry the entire day.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Qin Chen devoured the porridge, immediately feeling his blood boil as his Physical Body Power seemed to strengthen.

He quickly activated 'God Devouring Enlightenment Technique' to digest the energy encapsulated in the Primordial Spirit Rice.

Ordinary people would need at least two hours to consume a bowl of this porridge.

As good as Primordial Spirit Rice was, it wasn't easy to digest.

Eating too much without being able to digest it could actually backfire on the body.

But not for Qin Chen.

The 'God Devouring Enlightenment Technique' was in operation; he absorbed the energy of the Primordial Spirit Porridge with ease.

Awesome!

Qin Chen felt refreshingly energetic all over.

"You can eat that fast?"

Sheng Xuefu was gobsmacked as she watched Qin Chen slurp down the porridge with gusto.

Being in the Yuan Condensation realm herself, even she would take the porridge one sip at a time to digest it slowly.

And yet Qin Chen, merely being in the Body Refinement Realm, could consume it so quickly?

"What Cultivation Technique did you gain?" Sheng Xuefu asked.

Her own technique was an Earth-level Middle Grade technique, and even with that, she sometimes struggled to absorb it.

"Dao Decision," replied Qin Chen.

"Dao Decision?"

Sheng Xuefu looked deeply at Qin Chen.

Clearly, she didn't believe him but didn't press further.

Qin Chen deliberately slowed down his pace, but by the time he finished, Sheng Xuefu still had half of her bowl left.

This was too satisfying!

After finishing, Qin Chen felt exceptionally refreshed all over.

"Oh right, Sister Xueefu, Elder Yun told me before that as a new disciple in the Class A Institute, I can choose Martial Arts from the first level of the Martial Arts Pavilion. Now that I'm in the Saint Institute, can I still go?"

Qin Chen asked Sheng Xuefu.

He had perfected the 'Void Fist', an attack technique and was now at its limit.

Therefore, he wanted to seek another type of Martial Arts.

Like a movement technique Martial Arts.

"Come on, take this!"

Sheng Xuefu, upon hearing the words, didn't say anything and directly handed her Jade Token that hung from her waist over to Qin Chen.

The token bore Sheng Xuefu's name, as well as her position.

Thunder Sky Sect Elder, Sheng Xuefu.

"What does this mean?"

Qin Chen was somewhat puzzled.

"I have the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion once a month, and I haven't gone this month yet. Take my Jade Token, and you'll be free to explore the first, second, and third floors of the Martial Arts Pavilion."

"Low Grade Martial Arts, Mid-grade Martial Arts, Upper Grade Martial Arts, choose whichever you like!"

Sheng Xuefu said with a smile.

"The whole third floor is up for choosing?"

Qin Chen asked with a look of surprise, now realizing the importance of the Jade Token.

"How about that, isn't it much better than the benefits of entering Class A Institute?"

Sheng Xuefu said with a smile.

"But this token is yours after all, can I really use it?"

Qin Chen, taking the Jade Token, asked.

"Of course, the Martial Arts Pavilion recognizes the token, not the person," Sheng Xuefu nodded.

"In a few days, the new disciple assessment will be held, and your Cultivation... huh?"

Sheng Xuefu paused, surprised.

"You've made a breakthrough?"

It was only now that she noticed Qin Chen had made a breakthrough.

Qin Chen smiled and nodded.

"Good job!"

Sheng Xuefu said, smiling and nodding.

"Sister Xuefu, you just mentioned, the new disciple assessment is in a few days? What are the standards for this assessment?"

Qin Chen inquired.

"There will be a cut-off point, if someone doesn't meet it, they'll be expelled from the Thunder Sky Sect. But you needn't worry, with me here, no one will dare to drive you away."

Sheng Xuefu said with a smile.

Qin Chen nodded.

This meant that his time was even more limited.

After all, despite what Sheng Xuefu had said, it would still be quite embarrassing if he actually failed to meet the cut-off point when the time came.

After breakfast, Qin Chen went straight to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Qin Chen entered the Martial Arts Pavilion and displayed Sheng Xuefu's Jade Token.

"Thunder Sky Sect Elder, you may choose Martial Arts from any three floors of the pavilion at will!"

The Guardian Elder seated on the first floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion said in a low voice.

"Your Cultivation is low; high-level Martial Arts might not be suitable; I recommend you choose Low Grade Martial Arts,"

The Guardian Elder said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for the suggestion, Elder."

Qin Chen said with a smile.

Indeed, high-level Martial Arts represented a higher level of difficulty.

A higher level of difficulty would undoubtedly require a lot of time, which could lead to a stagnation in Cultivation.

The Guardian Elder's words were well-intentioned.

Qin Chen kept this advice in mind.

He first stepped into the first floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

"I don't think I've seen you before; are you a new disciple?"

A nearby youth looked at Qin Chen.

"Yes," Qin Chen nodded.

Qin Chen glanced at the Jade Token on his waist.

Class A Institute, Zhu Yan.

"As a new disciple, shouldn't you show respect to your senior brother?"

Zhu Yan said, trying to assert his seniority.

"Shouldn't a senior brother also show care for his junior brother?"

Qin Chen retorted.

Zhu Yan's expression stalled.

Inwardly smirking, Qin Chen no longer paid any attention to Zhu Yan and casually picked up a book called "White Crane Break," a Low Grade Martial Art.

"Put that down, I want that Martial Art,"

Zhu Yan immediately said.

A brand-new disciple daring to go against him, he naturally would not let Qin Chen off easily.

Qin Chen's brow furrowed slightly but ignored him, putting down "White Crane Break" and continued to look through other Martial Arts.

"I want this one too!"

Qin Chen continued to look at another.

"And I want this one too!"

"This one is mine as well!"

After looking through three Martial Arts in succession, Zhu Yan directly snatched them from Qin Chen's hands.

Through his astonishing Perception, Qin Chen already saw the Guardian Elder approaching.

He continued to look at the fourth book.

"This one..."

"Get out!"

Before Zhu Yan could finish his sentence, a cold growl sounded, sending shivers down Zhu Yan's body.

The corners of Qin Chen's mouth curved up imperceptibly.
