Chapter 146: Chapter 127: The Limit of Divine Sense, The Promising Rise of the Human Race! (First Update)
Su Xing saw this and was delighted in his heart.
Indeed, Spirit Rice had an exceptional effect on the promotion of lower-level professionals!
After all, ordinary Bronze Level professionals have neither high strength nor speed, and their physical fitness is probably just over ten times that of a normal person.
But with long-term consumption of Spirit Rice, it is entirely possible for these people to experience a surge in strength of several hundred to even over a thousand catties…
Thus, they are completely sufficient for completing their promotion tasks and successfully advancing to the Silver Level!
“The effect of Spirit Rice on the promotion of Bronze Level is within expectations, but I wonder how effective it is for Silver Level…”
Su Xing continued to read.
[Among the 350,000 Silver Level professionals who consumed Spirit Rice, 150,000 broke through within three months, advancing to the Gold Level. Within six months, another 50,000 individuals progressively broke through to the Gold Level, totaling 200,000 successfully promoted to the Gold Level!]
[The overall success rate of breakthroughs reached fifty-seven percent!]
[Out of the 50,000 Gold Level professionals who consumed Spirit Rice, 10,000 broke through to the Master Level within three months, with another 10,000 breaking through progressively within the half-year…]
[The overall success rate of breakthroughs was forty percent!]
Seeing this, Su Xing became somewhat excited.
The boost in strength Spirit Rice provided to Silver Level professionals was a little over half, which was close to Su Xing’s predictions.
However, what he didn’t expect was the tremendous increase in strength Spirit Rice afforded to Gold Level professionals, allowing nearly forty percent to break through!
“This is only within half a year… If they consume it for a long term, one or two years, the promotion rate would likely be even higher!”
Su Xing clenched his fists tightly, finally convincing himself through large sample experiments that Spirit Rice definitely had excellent effects on lower-level professionals!
As for those above the Master Level…
Su Xing shook his head slightly, knowing that Master Level and even Grandmaster Level were already considered the backbone of the Human Race’s strength, and these professionals had not to be underestimated.
Strength-based professionals had a force of ten thousand catties and even tens of thousands of catties… As for spellcasting professionals, the power of their spells was also a lot higher than TNT.
For mid-level strength, Spirit Rice’s effect was already diminished.
By then, Su Xing would need to produce more Elixirs to help them advance.
One could anticipate that if Spirit Rice were really promoted,
Within the next ten to twenty years, the number of Silver and Gold Level professionals across the country would undoubtedly double or even increase several times over!
The larger base of professionals also means that more Grandmasters and Heavenly King Level professionals will emerge!
This would definitely be a terrifying boost to the overall strength of the Human Race!
“If this time were extended to a hundred years… Perhaps by then, the Human Race’s strength will be more than ten times what it is now…”
Su Xing sighed softly; sadly, the Foreign Race would arrive in just over twenty years, leaving the Human Race with no time to develop to that extent.
Even so, an increase of two to three times in overall strength within twenty years would still be tremendous!
“It seems the plan to promote Spirit Rice is indeed feasible… But the risk is also great, perhaps I need to plan it out carefully…”
Su Xing murmured to himself, his gaze falling onto the simulation panel.
[After collecting the samples, you couldn’t be more relieved, thinking that Spirit Rice has great potential. Even if the Human Race’s strength won’t improve much in the short term, looking to the long-term, the improvement will be explosive!]
[In the following days, you continued to cultivate, grow the three-tailed phoenix grass, and learn the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique, hoping to find better ways to plant Spirit Rice.]
[Every once in a while, you would go to the Arctic Domain to care for the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng you planted there.]
[Luckily, the growth environment of the Arctic Domain was highly compatible with the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, and with ample Spiritual Power, the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng thrived.]
[In the ninth year, you still tended the Spirit Grains in the Spirit Field Blessed Land daily, hoping to find a way to increase the yield of Spirit Rice through the Shennong Spiritual Nurturing Technique.]
[At the same time, you also set aside time each day to cultivate, swallowing the Flesh Essence of Demon Kings and Demon Emperors daily, further improving your Cultivation Level!]
[In the tenth year, you took out various heavenly materials and medicinal herbs from the Great Xia treasury and refined them into Elixirs, which you distributed to the Great Xia Military, resulting in an increase of Grandmaster Level and above powerhouses.]
[The same year, you refined the Condensing Spirit Wood in the treasury into Soul Condensing Pills, attempting to further strengthen your Divine Sense.]
[In the eleventh year, after a year of consuming Elixirs, your Divine Sense grew to nine hundred and thirty zhang, and you felt that there was still room to grow, so you devoted even more energy to the cultivation of Divine Sense.]
Su Xing watched and nodded slightly, murmuring to himself:
“Yes, the cultivation of Divine Sense is also extremely important. If my Divine Sense hadn’t been strong back then, I would have probably fainted directly under the assault of that damned Zong’s dark energy…”
“At the Nascent Soul Stage, the maximum range of a cultivator’s Divine Sense is no more than 500 zhang, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators have only two or three hundred zhang… Yet my Divine Sense, thanks to the Soul Condensing Pills, is much stronger than ordinary Nascent Souls, even comparable to Divinity Transformation…”
“Before making the breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm, I should increase the strength of my Divine Sense as much as possible. After the breakthrough, if I can find a Cultivation Technique for Divine Sense, perhaps my Divine Sense can surge dramatically…”
Now Su Xing was no longer a clueless youngster who had just entered the Cultivation World. Through various means, he understood the importance of the Primordial Spirit.
The so-called cultivator, who refines elixirs externally and cultivates the Primordial Spirit internally, follows this exact principle.
Thinking this, Su Xing’s gaze turned towards the simulation panel.
[In the twelfth year, your Divine Sense has further grown, reaching a range of nine hundred and fifty zhang, but you are still at the Five Senses Realm, and you don’t know much about the subdivision of Divine Sense.]
[In the thirteenth year, you began to tally the children who took Spirit Rice before they turned eighteen. Now that five years have passed, you are curious about their strength.]
[Unexpectedly, those one hundred thousand children now have strengths at least close to the peak of the Silver Level, with sixty thousand breaking through to the Gold Level, and thousands reaching the Master Level. There are even dozens of extraordinarily talented individuals who have reached the Grandmaster Level!]
Su Xing was slightly surprised when he saw this; he hadn’t anticipated that Spirit Rice would have such a remarkable effect on the untalented children.
You must know, at Kyoto Academy, there are only a dozen or so Grandmaster Level martial artists among the graduating seniors each year, with just a few hundred reaching the Master Level…
And those who can get into Kyoto Academy are without exception geniuses selected out of ten or even a hundred thousand!
Yet Su Xing’s experiment, which only selected slightly talented children, had, after five years, yielded results surpassing even those of the graduates from Jiangnan Vocational University!
“Hiss… The Spirit Rice plan must be implemented as soon as possible!”
Su Xing took a deep breath. The role of Spirit Rice was not only in enhancing the physical condition of professionals but even in stimulating the potential of untalented children—it was just too significant!
After reflecting for a moment, Su Xing’s gaze once again turned to the simulation panel.
[Having fully realized the use of Spirit Rice, you no longer deal with its promotion. Instead, you focus your attention on increasing its yield and on your own cultivation level improvement.]
[Because you know that promoting Spirit Rice isn’t an overnight endeavor, and besides, you don’t have that many Gathering Spirit Flowers and Spirit Stones.]
[In the fourteenth year, what surprised you was that, despite minimal cultivation and daily consumption of Demon Emperor’s flesh and blood for all these years, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level still broke through to the second layer of the Divine Strength Realm!]
[You should be aware that the Divine Strength Realm is comparable to Divinity Transformation, and breaking through it often requires decades of painstaking cultivation. However, with your amazing talent and sufficient essence of flesh and blood, your strength continued to break through despite some negligence in cultivation!]
[In the fifteenth year, you took time to check on the growth of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng in the Arctic Domain. The Snow Bone Jade Ginseng was still growing robustly, and based on your estimations, it might take another thirty years to mature.]
[In the same year, your Divine Sense range increased to nine hundred and fifty zhang. As your Divine Sense range expanded, you felt you had hit a bottleneck, making further breakthroughs difficult.]
[Luckily, there are still plenty of Soul Condensing Pills, and you feel that you can still push your Divine Sense range further!]
[In the sixteenth year, your Divine Sense continued to improve steadily. Although the increase was only a few zhang each year, you were still very content.]
[You tested out different Spirit Rice cultivation methods you had contemplated over the years, only to find that due to the real world’s lack of Spiritual Energy and soil quality, it was hard to increase the yield of Spirit Rice.]
[Thus, you shifted your focus to the Earth Dragon technique. The spirit earthworm you had raised had grown to the size of a python over the course of more than a decade, enriching the soil in the Spirit Field Blessed Land every day and promoting faster growth of your Spirit Plants, even saving you considerable time in farming and tilling the soil.]
[You attempted to release the spirit earthworm into the soil of the real world, hoping to improve its quality through the Earth Dragon technique.]
[In the seventeenth year, thanks to the diligent cultivation of the spirit earthworm, the soil quality in the real world improved significantly, beginning to transition from ordinary land to Spirit Field.]
[What excited you even more was the growth of the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass—the third phoenix tail had begun to emerge, indicating that in a few years, it would fully mature.]
[In the eighteenth year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass continued as before. Although the Human Race was being suppressed by the Foreign Race, they were still holding the line. Knowing that time was precious, you worked even harder to develop further.]
[The same year, your Divine Sense range grew to nine hundred and seventy zhang!]
[In the nineteenth year, due to the increased consumption of Demon Emperor’s flesh essence every day, your body was filled with abundant energy. On a breezy and sunny morning, you smoothly broke into the third layer of the Divine Strength Realm!]
[In the twentieth year, your Divine Sense range increased to nine hundred and ninety zhang!]
[In the twenty-first year, you went to the Arctic Domain again to look for the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, which was thriving. Perhaps it wouldn’t take long to mature!]
[The same year, your Divine Sense range increased by another three zhang, reaching nine hundred and ninety-three zhang, and you had a premonition that a thousand zhang might be your limit for Divine Sense. To break through further, reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage would be necessary.]
[In the twenty-second year, your Divine Sense grew by another three zhang, bringing you close to the one thousand zhang mark.]
[In the twenty-third year, the situation at Demon-Subduing Pass worsened. The number of casualties among the Human Race increased each year, and you knew that when the hundreds of legendary beasts arrived, it would be the day Demon-Subduing Pass fell.]
[The same year, the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass finally matured, and your Divine Sense also grew to nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang.]
