Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 552 - 324 Body Refinement Completion_2

"It is said that this thing works through breathing, absorbing spiritual energy. As long as one unblocks certain meridians to let the spiritual energy cleanse the body once, they can become a First Order Evolutionist or a Superhuman," an informed individual immediately answered.

"Ah! Can cultivating a method actually turn one into a Superhuman?" someone in the audience immediately commented.

"Of course, it’s possible, though the probability is very small, probably less than one in ten thousand. It’s just like when you take gene liquid; there’s also a tiny chance of becoming a Superhuman. The principle is the same," the informed individual explained right away.

The discussions online instantly heated up, with various posts popping up continuously.

Everyone thought this was the biggest news of the day, but at this point, Liu Zaoxin on the stage raised his hand, signaling the audience to quiet down.

Then he slowly said, "Next, I will announce the second piece of news. In half a month, we will launch the ’Talent Training Program’."

"This ’Talent Training Program’ is open to all orders."

"It will select 10,000 First Order Evolutionists and Superhumans, 8,000 Second Stage, 6,000 Third Order, 4,000 Fourth Order, 2,000 Fifth Order, and 1,000 Sixth Order individuals for key training."

"As for the selection method, it will be a nationwide audition, and you all can start to sign up in various cities in half a month. Everything will be based on strength."

After these words, the internet exploded again, and the fervor this time exceeded any before.

"My god, can I interpret this as, if you can make it onto this list, you’ll be a strongman of the future?" someone immediately asked.

"You can say that. This is a group of people cultivated with the full force of the nation!

The cultivation resources they enjoy are absolutely unattainable for us ordinary folks. I bet even a pig would be able to fly," someone immediately replied.

"I can’t wait! I must sign up in half a month. There are 10,000 spots for First Order, and I believe I am the strongest First Order Evolutionist." Some were confident and spoke bravely.

"Heh, wake up. Even after the great catastrophe, there are nearly one billion people now. Your chance of being selected is at most one in a thousand, and remember, Evolutionists are not the same as Superhumans," someone ridiculed immediately.

"To the person above, I disagree with your statement. Haven’t you seen who the current number one in the nation is?" another rebutted on the spot.

"Chen Dalong is an exception, but overall, Superhumans have more advantages," the two individuals started bickering right away.

Of course, there were many who were quite rational, and they quickly picked up on something different from Liu Zaoxin’s words.

"I think if you want to fight for a slot, it’s better to have the ability to break through to higher orders. Then the chance of selection is greater. If you reach Fourth Order or above, the competitive pressure will be much less.

Especially at Sixth Order. Across the nation, whether there are even 1,000 Sixth Order Strongmen is questionable!" someone analyzed.

"The person above is right. But I think there is nothing to complain about. Being able to awaken in advance is itself a demonstration of Talent.

Even if not selected, now that we have the cultivation methods, we can slowly improve. No longer will we need to live in fear," a hopeful person chimed in.

Ye Feng was unaware of the discussions happening online, but he could guess the gist.

After Liu Zaoxin finished announcing these two pieces of news, he stepped down from the high platform.

Ye Feng thought the celebration was finally over, but unexpectedly, the reporter Du Gulan came over to interview him specially.

"Hello, Parrot Messenger, I’ve gathered a few questions that the public is most concerned about online. May I trouble you to enlighten us?" Du Gulan asked politely.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast camera turned towards him.

"Hmm, ask away!" Ye Feng nodded.

"Well, what everyone cares about the most is, if there was another Spiritual Energy Resurgence, would those Seventh Order strongmen in the forbidden area be able to come out?"

"If they were to come out, does Dragon Lord have the confidence to hold off so many forbidden area strongmen?" Du Gulan asked expectantly.

Ye Feng immediately smiled. He understood what the other party wanted to know the most.

After thinking for a moment, he directly said, "Let me put it this way to you all! As long as none of the Eighth Order Strongmen in the restricted area come out, Dragon Lord has the ability to protect all of you."

Upon hearing this, Du Gulan’s pretty eyebrows furrowed, "Does that mean, once those Eighth Order strongmen come out, the Dragon Lord won’t be able to keep us all safe?"

"But wasn’t the Dragon Lord capable of overpowering those Eighth Order Strongmen during the final assessments? Shouldn’t he become even stronger as time goes on?"

Ye Feng nodded slightly and said, "Your understanding isn’t wrong, but the issue is that being able to win a fight doesn’t equate to being able to protect you all – those are two different things."

"The destructive power of an Eighth Order Strongman in combat is beyond your imagination. At this level, the fields they can cast at will could cover more than half a city, swiftly killing all beings below the Seventh Order."

"Under such circumstances, it is far too easy for these Eighth Order Strongmen to cause destruction. Of course, the main reason is that there are a total of 9 forbidden areas. The Dragon Lord can’t be in all places at once, so he definitely can’t cover everything. Do you understand what I mean?"

Du Gulan nodded silently, knowing that the description given by the Parrot Messenger was quite objective, but the more objective it was, the heavier her heart felt.

It was foreseeable that this live broadcast would probably stir up another commotion on the internet, and Yang City, the safest place, would receive growing admiration from more and more people.

However, Ye Feng paid no attention to these matters. After completing the interview, he flapped his wings and returned to Sunset Valley.

Attending this banquet had taken up nearly three hours, and during this time, he wasn’t able to have the Soul Extinguishing Spear recognize its master.

So after it ended, he really didn’t want to stay a moment longer.

Soon, Ye Feng’s focus returned to the two major tasks at hand.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day.

All the cities began rolling out the sale of various cultivation methods.

Ye Feng gave this some attention, but only briefly.

Because the process of making the Soul Extinguishing Spear recognize its master consumed a lot of mental energy, aside from continuing to cultivate his physical body, he really didn’t want to spare the effort to do anything else.

Time kept slipping by, and soon it was the evening of the third day.

Ye Feng had stopped all other activities and was staring unwaveringly at the Array Plate before him.

At that moment, a blue crystal was placed in the indent on the Array Plate, a special energy within it being continuously extracted by the formation, then flowing along the lines and constantly infusing into his body.

Ye Feng could feel that the strength of his body was almost reaching a limit.

His entire body had swelled up, and where he had been somewhat thin before, he now appeared robust, filled with a sense of power.

However, due to absorbing too much energy, he now seemed a bit bloated, and even some pores appeared as though blood was about to seep out.

Finally, after another 10 minutes, as the last bit of blue light was absorbed by his body, the three-day-long cultivation process came to an end.

At this point, within Ye Feng’s perception, his human body’s aura was far from that of an ordinary person, in fact, it was beyond even First Order Evolutionists and Superhumans.

It wouldn’t be surprising if people believed he was at the Second Stage.

Indeed, that was the case.

After refining his body with the essences of a full hundred rare and precious natural materials, his body had become ten times stronger than it was at the beginning.

At this moment, his body still belonged to the category of ordinary humans.

But it had reached the peak of human limits, and as long as he used the Life Rule to revive it, he would immediately enter an awakened state.

With such a strong physique as a foundation, awakening a superhuman ability was almost a certainty; it just remained to be seen what ability he would awaken.

Got vaccinated for the second time, it wasn’t as uncomfortable as the first. If any of you readers get vaccinated, don’t try to tough it out – just go to the hospital.

Doctors at the fever clinics are now quite experienced. After a bunch of medicine, the fever typically subsides by the next day.
