As the smoke continued to twist and new text materialized, Shen Bai stared at the words before him, stroking his chin.

’I can’t believe the Golden Finger’s naming sense is even worse than mine.’

He’d originally thought the Golden Finger’s naming sense would be better than his, at the very least. After all, the name he’d given his Treasure Sword, Cold Moon, was truly an eyesore.

Back when he’d come up with it, Elder Mu had almost beaten him up for it.

But who would have thought that the name for the Golden Finger’s second qualitative transformation would be so creatively bankrupt?

[Flawless Ten-layered Body Level 5 (Hardness +16, Resilience +16, Counter Damage +16, Anti-Sealing +16, Overlapping Waves +16): 0/15000]

This Divine Power had completely shed the name Bright Jade Evil Body, becoming Flawless Ten-layered Body instead.

Before Shen Bai could even ponder what this new Overlapping Waves Attribute was, a mist appeared before his eyes.

His consciousness gradually sank into his mind, and he once again saw that incredibly familiar, illusory figure.

The setting sun was the color of jasper blood. Inside Shen Bai’s mind, the illusory figure appeared in the middle of a vast sea.

The sea stretched out before him, its surface so vast he couldn’t see the end.

The calm surface of the sea reflected the blinding sunlight.

The illusory figure stood amidst the calm waves like a reef jutting from the sea, unmoved by any wind or rain.

Then, a sudden breeze stirred the once-calm sea, creating a ripple on its surface.

As the ripples spread, the placid sea began to churn and surge.

What began as a small wave gradually swelled into a great one.

The colossal wave, like an all-consuming vortex, blotted out the sky as it crashed toward the illusory figure.

Within the monstrous wave, countless bizarre figures churned and writhed.

Their wails and the terrifying, cold aura they exuded seemed to dim the very sunlight in the sky.

The wave surged forward, yet the illusory figure stood with its hands clasped behind its back, as if the approaching tide posed no threat at all.

At that moment, a layer of light, like flawless white jade, suddenly materialized around the figure’s body.

As soon as the light emerged, it instantly enveloped the figure from head to toe.

The wave, thick with a bizarre aura, crashed against the illusory figure.

Yet the figure did not budge an inch.

The dense white light formed layer upon layer, and in the blink of an eye, sixteen layers had enveloped the figure.

Each layer of white light was as thin as paper.

Even stacked sixteen layers high, they seemed to have no thickness at all.

The wave began to tear away at the outermost layer of light.

The sixteen layers of light began to shatter, one by one.

One layer, two, ten...

Gradually, as the outer fifteen layers of light vanished, the wind, the waves, and the bone-chilling cold all dissipated.

The final layer of light remained, shimmering with the flawless luster of white jade.

In the space of a single breath, all sixteen layers of white light reappeared.

The illusory figure gradually faded away.

The sea returned to its calm state, and the sun, high in the sky, continued to shine.

When everything had vanished, Shen Bai opened his eyes.

"Flawless ten layers, each layer like jade."

Before him, the smoke transformed into Information that flowed into his mind.

After absorbing all the Information, Shen Bai had mastered the intricacies of the Flawless Ten-layered Body, as if he had been immersed in this Divine Power for a very long time.

’Great. All that time wasn’t wasted. This Divine Power is full of surprises,’ Shen Bai thought with a chuckle.

The first few Attributes of the Flawless Ten-layered Body hadn’t changed—they had simply doubled.

Of course, this "doubling" meant an increase of 8 points for each Attribute—a terrifying boost. It made all the time Shen Bai had spent grinding for it worthwhile.

In addition to these Attributes, there was also a new one: the Overlapping Wave Attribute.

The Overlapping Waves Attribute was exactly what it sounded like.

When Shen Bai activated the Flawless Ten-layered Body, sixteen layers of white light would cover his body. The sixteen layers corresponded to the "+16" bonus.

Each layer of light looked paper-thin, but every single one possessed the full defensive effect of the original Bright Jade Evil Body.

Stacked sixteen times, the defensive effect underwent a qualitative transformation.

It was equivalent to stacking sixteen Bright Jade Evil Bodies on top of each other.

Moreover, as long as the sixteen layers of light weren’t completely broken, Shen Bai could replenish them all in the time it took for a single breath.

Not only was his defense boosted sixteen-fold, but his continuous sustainability was also massively improved.

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body. In an instant, sixteen layers of white light enveloped him.

"Amber, use your full strength and attack me." Shen Bai turned to look at Amber, who was lying on its side with a lazy expression, its soft belly exposed.

Amber, who had been resting and playing, perked up immediately upon hearing this, looking at its master with a confused expression.

Although it didn’t understand why its master wanted to be attacked, as a Deceitful Beast, loyally executing its master’s commands was a lifelong principle.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Amber landed on the ground, let out a low roar, and instantly grew to the size of a tiger.

Then, Amber raised its sharp right claw and swung it at Shen Bai.

A terrifyingly cold aura condensed around Amber’s right claw.

A single strike from this claw would have been enough to grievously wound a Cultivator of the same realm and knock them to the ground.

But for Shen Bai, this claw posed no danger whatsoever.

The sixteen layers of light from the Flawless Ten-layered Body covering Shen Bai shimmered, as flawless as white jade.
