Chapter 32: Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul – Peace in the Desert Cities
Wu Tian was still in shock over the newly activated Body Cultivation System. He immediately called out to the system, demanding a reasonable explanation.
But the system? Cold as ever. It simply ignored him.
Feeling snubbed, Wu Tian suddenly remembered something. He mentally shouted:
"System, show me my status panel!"
Ding…
[Queen's Guardian System]
Queen: MedusaHost: Wu TianGender: Undetermined (Host enjoys wearing women's clothing, so status is pending)Age: 18Body Cultivation: Nine Star Dou ShiSoul Cultivation: Great Perfection of the Soul Realm (Equivalent to Peak Dou Huang)Cultivation Technique: Divine Fire Body Forging Technique (Super God Tier)Skills: NoneItems: Husha Storage Ring (Super God Tier), miscellaneous junk
…
Wu Tian read through his status panel, finding several things that left him speechless.
First, gender status pending?! Absolutely unacceptable!
However, the age part? That was great. Eighteen meant he was legally an adult, and now he could start working toward having babies with Medusa. Hehehe…
More importantly, Wu Tian realized something that made him ecstatic.
His soul cultivation was already at the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm, equivalent to Peak Dou Huang. While that was indeed part of his true strength, it wasn't his actual cultivation path.
Now that he had a physical body, his primary focus should be cultivating his flesh, using the Divine Fire Body Forging Technique.
Improving soul power was far more difficult than body strength. In the original world of Dou Qi, raising one's soul realm was a painfully slow process.
However, cultivating the body was much faster he could use training, pills, and even absorb different Heavenly Flames to increase his strength.
If he could devour Fallen Heart Flame, his progress would skyrocket!
Soul and body cultivation were like two different character classes in a game one a warrior, the other a mage. By combining both, Wu Tian would reach insane levels of power.
Now that he understood this, Wu Tian was overjoyed.
His frustration with the system? Completely forgotten. That memory was deleted permanently. No recovery.
With renewed motivation, Wu Tian sat on the Green Lotus Platform and started cultivating. He trained relentlessly, day and night, without pause.
Meanwhile, Hua She'er, still embarrassed about their last encounter, avoided him completely for two days. Maybe she was afraid of witnessing another "heaven piercing" incident…
Time passed quickly.
After one full week, Wu Tian finally opened his eyes. The first thing he did? Complain to the system.
"System! You gave me this pathetic Nine Star Dou Shi body, fine, whatever.
But since you already upgraded me to Nine Star Dou Shi, WHY didn't you just push me to Nine Star Peak?!
I spent an ENTIRE WEEK just to reach mid level Nine Star Dou Shi! This is way too slow!
I need to find another flame to absorb, ASAP."
Wu Tian pushed open his door and stepped outside. The bright desert sun hit his face, but he didn't mind at all.
As soon as he exited, he noticed a beautiful, curvaceous figure standing in the courtyard wearing nothing but a red bustier.
It was Hua She'er, his loyal but dangerously seductive guard captain.
Seeing her waiting there, Wu Tian raised an eyebrow. Why was she waiting outside instead of just calling for him?
He frowned. The sun's way too strong today… You're gonna get sunburnt…
Those round… ehm…
Wu Tian instinctively averted his eyes.
Hearing the door open, Hua She'er turned toward him, her expression lighting up with joy until she noticed his strength level.
Her excitement immediately turned to shock and concern.
"Guardian Spirit… your cultivation…?"
Wu Tian's current power level was truly, undeniably, completely real just Nine Star Dou Shi.
She was horrified.
Did he…Did he somehow seal away his own strength during this week of closed door training?!
If he keeps "cultivating" like this, will he drop all the way to Dou Qi Tier Three?!
Cultivation was supposed to increase one's strength. But this?! This was the opposite!
From Peak Dou Huang to Dou Shi… That wasn't just a downgrade it was a complete collapse!
Hua She'er's jaw dropped.
Wu Tian waved a hand casually.
"Relax, Hua She'er. I was just testing whether you could see through my concealment."
A flawless excuse.
And it was half true. Wu Tian really had been testing whether a Dou Wang like Hua She'er could detect anything off about him. Since she couldn't, it meant no one else would either.
Hua She'er let out a relieved sigh. So he was just playing around.
…Though she still thought his "low key" approach was way too extreme.
Wu Tian crossed his arms behind his back and asked, "You looked excited just now. Got good news?"
Hua She'er's face turned red when she noticed his lingering gaze especially when his eyes paused slightly at her stomach.
Blushing, she quickly reported:
"Guardian Spirit, I do have good news! Over the past few days, all desert border cities have been fully opened to humans.
At first, they were hesitant to enter, but because of the existing local residents, more and more humans have started coming in.
Even the powerful figures from Jia Ma Empire have been strictly following the rules.
There haven't been any incidents, and all cities remain peaceful and prosperous.
In fact, the rental income from businesses has already been tremendously profitable after just a few days!"
Wu Tian nodded approvingly. Everything was progressing exactly as he had planned.
Now, it was time to take the next step.
"Good. From now on, humans can form mercenary groups within our cities.
However, each city will only allow two groups.
If more appear, they'll have to settle the matter amongst themselves. If they refuse, we'll eliminate them."
Hua She'er bowed respectfully.
"As you command, Guardian Spirit."
Wu Tian sighed internally. I don't want to watch a certain "show"… but the remote control isn't in my hands…
Still, something else came to mind.
"Is Yue Mei in the city?"
Hua She'er felt a strange discomfort at the mention of another woman.
But she still replied obediently:
"Commander Yue Mei just returned. She should be bathing right now."
Wu Tian's eyes gleamed.
"Good. Lead the way I want to see her."
Hua She'er: "…"
