Chapter 56: Ability Evolution
Chapter 56: Ability Evolution
It took some time but everybody eventually got over Lin Qingcheng's appearance. The competition started and the stage was quickly modified for the first test. It was a zigzagging obstacle course setup across most of the stage. It contained traps and pitfalls that aimed to slow down the competitors. This would test their raw speed and also their agility.
At the end of the course, there were ten black stone statues of different sizes. They looked indestructible and imposing. The first statue weighed one ton and each successive statue weighed one ton more than the previous statue. The goal was to use strength to move the statue backwards by ten meters before going on to the next statue and trying the same thing.
"First contestant, Tang Sun, Divine Blazing Mountain!"
A ferocious looking man stepped onto the stage. He was thirty years old so his talent was below average. However, everyone could see from his muscular and built physique that he was a specialist.
"Ready... Set... Go!"
Tang Sun's feet glowed red and seemed covered in flames as he charged into the obstacle course, His flame art allowed him to stop and turn very quickly and also accelerate, leaving smoldering footprints with each step. Various spikes shot out from the ground but he leaped into the air to avoid them. Other times large hammers would take swipes at his face, forcing him to duck down. There was even an area that was a gaping chasm with narrow footholds barely larger than a person's feet. This forced him to judge his jump distance to make use of each foothold accurately.
"24.6 seconds!" The announcer yelled out as Tang Sun finally crossed the finish line.
The time was quite good, showcasing the power of specializing in control over the body and organs. But he wasn't finished. Tang Sun took a few breaths and approached the first black stone statue. His fists started to smoke as if on fire.
"Meteor Fist!" Tang Sun roared as he slammed his fist against the stone.
Boom!
"Woahhh!!" The audience were amazed as the stone statue was pushed beyond the ten meter mark.
Tang Sun didn't stop as he punched towards the second statue.
Boom!
This time, the statue slid about half way.
"Again, Meteor Fist!"
"Amazing!" "He's strong!" The audience clapped and cheered as the second statue was also completed.
Tang Sun's raw strength was top tier among Mind Focusing Realm cultivators. An average person at the 10th level of Mind Focusing Realm would be expected to barely complete the first statue yet he seemingly completed two without much effort.
However, the difficulty of the strength test soon showed itself as Tang Sun exerted much more effort and ten punches to complete the third statue. The fourth one was the end of the road as he could barely move the statue a centimeter with each punch.
"Meteor Fist! Meteor Fist! Meteor Fist!"
Tang Sun eventually collapsed from exhaustion, having moved the fourth statue one meter.
"Tang Sun, 31 points!" The announcer yelled, giving one point for each meter moved.
"Tang Sun! Tang Sun! Tang Sun!" The crowd chanted, excited at having been given a great show. They were also cultivators and understood Tang Sun's score was no easy feat. Other strength specialists would find it hard to beat his mark.
Tang Sun's scores in both speed and strength proved difficult to beat as more and more contestants took the exams. There were a few that specialized speed that beat Tang Sun by a couple seconds but they couldn't match him in strength. The closest somebody got to was thirty points as they couldn't even budge the fourth statue.
"Lin Qingcheng, Ten Thousand Flower Valley!"
It was finally Lin Qingcheng's turn and the crowd all hushed in anticipation. What kind of skill in speed and agility would this heaven defying genius display? Chen Wentian gave her a thumbs up as she nervously took her place before the obstacle course.
"Ready... Set... Go!"
Lin Qingcheng took off in a dead sprint. Her speed was pretty good. However, her agility wasn't that great and she lost a lot of time in the corners. She dodged the obstacles quite well, the combat training with Chen Wentian paying off nicely. It was when she got to the leaping chasm that things went awry.
She tried to rush through the jumps and managed to completely miss her second foothold. She crashed into the pool of water below the chasm, becoming one of only a few competitors that managed to do so. She had to swim across the rest of the way, taking a huge penalty to her time.
"58.2 seconds!"
The audience erupted in laughter and mockery at Lin Qingcheng's time. It was actually the slowest in the whole group! Was she a genius or an idiot? Now the audience clearly thought the latter. Chen Wentian could only keep a dead poker face as all the other immortals shot looks in his direction. What kind of disciple did you find?
"Qingcheng! You're the best!" Chen Wentian encouraged as she looked at his direction with a glum face.
Lin Qingcheng's lips broke into a wide smile at being cheered on by her master. Who cared about all these random people? The only one that mattered was her master. Her determination was renewed as she approached the first statue. Invisible energy formed in her right palm as she unleashed her the second palm of the Nineteen Demon Subduing Palms.
"Dominate Demons!"
Boom!
The Nineteen Demon Subduing Palms were incredibly versatile. The second palm focused on dominating attack power, capable to pulverizing entire mountains at higher cultivation levels. The result was quite spectacular as Lin Qingcheng was able to repeat Tang Sun's feat and push the first statue past ten meters with one blow.
Tang Sun who was observing at the sidelines nodded his head in approval. How could somebody with her talent be trash?
Lin Qingcheng's attack power was slightly below Tang Sun's as she needed three strikes for the second statue and almost twenty for the third statue. Finally, as she gasped for breath in front of the fourth statue, she seemingly hit her limit. The judges and everyone else waited with baited breath to see if Lin Qingcheng would be able to move the fourth statue. Even if she moved it slightly, she would be able to take second in the strength test!
In actuality, she was completely spent of energy. She had given it her all on the third statue and her arms felt like wet noodles. Her legs were like tofu. She struggled to catch her breath as she stared at the massive ugly black rock in front of her.
Lin Qingcheng was a sweet and kind person but she was also very competitive. She wanted to win! She wanted her master to praise her! Her mind wandered to her special power, the sole reason she could stand on the stage today in front of immortals and tens of thousands of cultivators. One year ago, she was merely a peasant princess of a farming town. She wished her parents and everybody back home could see her. She couldn't let them down.
She focused her mind onto her center as she stealthily withdrew a small control rune in her left hand. The perpetual vibrator deep inside her sprung into life and she immediately felt waves of pleasure encompass her body.
This vibrator was brand new and she had just received it yesterday. One of the secret treasures inside the camouflaging spacial bag that Chen Wentian gave her was small piece of orange spiritual crystal. Orange spiritual crystal was ten times more effective and more expensive than red spiritual crystal. The small oblong piece the size of a thumb was more powerful than one kilogram of red spiritual crystal. In fact, it was Chen Wentian that helped inscribe the runes onto the crystal to turn into into a spiritual vibrator.
Her p.u.s.s.y became wet very quickly as the orange vibrator did wonderful things to her intimate folds. With every vibration, the spiritual crystal would release some spiritual energy that was immediately absorbed into her core. Thus, her orgasm built up much quicker than before. She could barely keep standing or keep her face straight. The fire of pleasure was roaring furiously, trying to be released.
But, it was blocked! She couldn't orgasm!
Just like previously at the peak of Body Refinement Realm, no matter what she did, she could not orgasm. The vibrator kept releasing spiritual energy with fed the fire. The miniature pulsing pleasure was torture, the inability to get achieve release was even more painful. What could she do? Was her special power so useless when she needed it?
Of course not. Her special talent was heaven defying for a reason.
Lin Qingcheng gained a sudden inspiration in that moment of desperation. It was as if the gates of heaven opened as the fiery waves of pleasure washed over her entire body. Invisible gates to the rest of her body opened as each crashing wave of euphoria replenished every depleted cell in her body with overflowing power.
"Dominate Demons!"
Boom!
An astonishing power erupted from her palm as it crashed into the fourth statue. What had been unmovable slid backwards ten centimeters. Everybody's eyes seemed to bulge out in disbelief. That strike was way more powerful than Tang Sun's Meteor Fist! Where did she find the energy and the strength?
As the energy from the orgasm expended, Lin Qingcheng understood more about this fundamental evolution in her special ability. She could now channel the power of her orgasm away from increasing her cultivation and into her physical strength! After discovering this, naturally she wanted to test it out again!
The vibrator went to work as she once again built up the vast store of orgasmic energy within her center.
"Dominate Demons!"
"Dominate Demons!"
"Dominate Demons!"
It was like clockwork. Every thirty seconds, Lin Qingcheng would crash through another orgasmic high as she unleashed onto the statue. She was simply unstoppable and she had unlimited stamina. Every single person in the stadium was shocked into silence for the second time as she finally slammed the fourth statue across the line.
