C507 Hot Body

"Are you sure this is already balanced?" Woo Zhengyang asked nervously, lacking any confidence in the creator of this world.

"Don't worry, this is definitely our opportunity." Situ Jingxiang reassured him. With a swift motion, she leaped into the small lake before Woo Zhengyang could stop her.

The once calm lake erupted into chaos as soon as Jingxiang entered, the liquid inside bubbling as if it were boiling.

"See? Hurry and join me, or I'll absorb it all!" Jingxiang called out, jumping back out of the lake and beckoning to Woo Zhengyang.

He stood there, dumbfounded. The lake might be filled with spirit liquid, but it was still liquid. Jingxiang's clothes were soaked, and as she jumped, her figure was clearly outlined. Although she was still youthful and not fully developed, her graceful form was already quite alluring to the inexperienced Woo Zhengyang.

Unconsciously, he recalled their first encounter: her warm body in his arms, skin smooth as jade...

"What are you daydreaming about? Get in here," Jingxiang said, puzzled. Following his gaze, she looked down and blushed deeply.

"You... jerk..." Jingxiang shouted, pushing Woo Zhengyang into the small lake, then quickly jumping in herself.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

Zhengyang, lost in thought, was caught off guard and let out a startled yelp as he was pushed into the lake. The first cry was from surprise. The second was from the searing pain that followed. As he hit the water, it felt like a thousand arrows were piercing him. He realized it was the spirit liquid in the lake entering his body, but it was so wild and overwhelming!

Just a moment ago, Jingxiang seemed perfectly fine! Despite his pain, Zhengyang glanced at Jingxiang and saw she was still unaffected. Why was he suffering so much?

Suddenly, Zhengyang understood the key issue. Jingxiang was already at the Tendon Bone Stage, her body much stronger than his, having undergone countless refinements at the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion. Meanwhile, he was only at the Skin Stage and hadn't used any special herbs or medicines to strengthen his body. How could he compare?

"Ah..." Zhengyang cried out again.

"What are you yelling for?" Jingxiang snapped, her face flushed with anger. She hadn't thought much of his earlier cries, but now, hearing his trembling voice, she couldn't help but feel a strange shiver herself.

“Ah... you think it's easy for me...”

As more and more spirit liquid surged in, Woo Zhengyang felt like he was going crazy. He could even feel the spirit liquid crashing around inside him, his body like a stormy sea, rising and falling.

“Who said I'm not struggling... Ah... it's the spirit liquid making you uncomfortable!” Situ Jingxiang was about to retort when she saw large lumps forming on Woo Zhengyang's body, realizing why he was reacting so intensely.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just got here and felt fine, so I assumed you were too. I forgot you're only at the Skin Stage...” Situ Jingxiang apologized sincerely, quickly moving to Woo Zhengyang's side to see if she could help.

The small lake was shallow, and Woo Zhengyang was near the edge. When Situ Jingxiang arrived, the water only reached her waist.

Her presence made Woo Zhengyang's discomfort even worse...

The spirit liquid rampaging through his body was painful, and the sight of Jingxiang's graceful figure was an added torment for Woo Zhengyang. Caught between pain and torment, Woo Zhengyang was struggling with an unusual sensation.

“Woo Zhengyang, are you okay? Your face is so red it looks like it's about to bleed... You're not going to explode, are you?” Seeing Woo Zhengyang's increasing discomfort, Situ Jingxiang grabbed his arm in concern.

A gentle fragrance wafted through the air as Woo Zhengyang found himself embraced by Situ Jingxiang. Suddenly, he felt a loss of control and instinctively wrapped his arms around her.

"Maybe I should just toss you out!" Jingxiang teased, only to realize she was enveloped by a strong, broad body. Quickly sensing something was off, she broke free from Woo Zhengyang's grasp, ducking low into the water, leaving only her head visible above the lake's surface. "You rascal, I'm done with you..." she huffed.

Woo Zhengyang felt awkward and unsure why he had lost his composure so suddenly. "Don't worry about me..." he muttered, closing his eyes to ease his discomfort.

Inside him, the spirit liquid continued to surge wildly, while the lake's spirit liquid kept flowing in. The small lake seemed to boil with energy, growing more intense. Centered around Jingxiang and Woo Zhengyang, the water level rose to their necks, while elsewhere, the lake appeared to be draining rapidly.

"This is amazing!" Jingxiang exclaimed, having submerged herself earlier. As the water level rose, she naturally noticed the strange phenomenon.

Woo Zhengyang noticed it too, but he was too preoccupied to care. As the lake water climbed around him, the spirit liquid entered his body at an increasing pace. His entire body flushed red, and his skin seemed to swell as if it might burst at any moment.

Woo Zhengyang had gradually adapted to the intense pain. He began to channel his energy, absorbing the spirit liquid within him. The training at the Skin Stage primarily relied on pressure, and this intense spirit liquid was a perfect match. If Woo Zhengyang didn't seize this opportunity to break through, it would truly be a waste.

Under his guidance, streams of spirit liquid began to impact his skin. Whether already inside his body or still in the small lake, all of it was redirected by Woo Zhengyang. This impact was far more intense than his usual training. Without much effort, he could feel his skin becoming saturated at an unimaginable speed.

He wasn't sure how much time had passed, but eventually, Woo Zhengyang sensed that his skin could no longer absorb any more spirit liquid. At this moment, his skin was as flawless as polished jade, seamless and without a single blemish. Even his pores seemed to have vanished.

The flawless true form! The pinnacle of the Skin Stage!

Although his pores were gone, Woo Zhengyang's ability to absorb the vital energy of Heaven and Earth from his surroundings had increased significantly. His skin had reached an unparalleled level of harmony with this energy. In fact, it could be said that his skin was now composed of condensed vital energy, making absorption incredibly efficient.

Moreover, the spirit liquid Woo Zhengyang used for his training was exceptionally rare and valuable.

Spirit liquid, though initially formed from Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, is countless times more precious. Skin refined by spirit liquid is even more perfect than that of a typical Body Tempering cultivator, offering superior resilience and absorption capabilities.
