I Am Overlord

Boom!

Sixth-stage Basic Realm!

Xiang Shaoyun’s energy raged like a god holding up the heavens and the earth.
The 500-kilogram gravity continued to assail him and squeezed out the energy hidden within his body, which in turn fueled his nine stars.
All this resulted in an ungodly increase in his cultivation!

Xiang Shaoyun’s bodily reinforcement had begun when he was 5 years old and lasted all the way until he was 14 years old, a full 9 years! The result of this was that his body seemed to contain boundless energy; the pressure that he was undergoing from the Hall of Limits had unleashed just a tiny bit of it!

Filled with this energy, Xiang Shaoyun forgot about his hunger, even forgetting that the 500-kilogram weight was still pressing down upon him!

“I cannot afford to break through too fast.
I must first consolidate this new strength and establish a firm foundation!” Although Xiang Shaoyun had yet to formally qualify as a cultivator, nobody understood better than him the essentials of cultivation.

With this train of thought, Xiang Shaoyun endlessly suppressed the unrestrained flow of energy, forcing it into his nine-star formation.
Although the energy seemed boundless, once it came into contact with the nine stars, it disappeared without a trace.
With the massive flow of energy into his nine stars, the pressure on his body gradually decreased, making it easier to withstand the gravity.

Simultaneously, the energy that was being squeezed out from him slowly decreased until it finally stopped.
Was that all there was to the energy he had accumulated over nine years of bodily reinforcement? Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun understood that that was not the case.
Rather, the limit of this particular room was no longer able to force out any more of the energy within his body.

Without realizing it, half an hour had already passed.
When the old overseer came before the hall’s gates, the entrance to the room, he found that Xiang Shaoyun was standing straight, as if the environment within the room felt completely normal to him! Upon seeing this, the overseer’s eyes almost fell out of their sockets!

Ever since this overseer had taken up the position of overseer at the Hall of Limits, he had never seen anybody below the seventh stage of Basic Realm stand there so effortlessly, much less someone at the fifth stage!

The old overseer trembled as he cried out in surprise, “Impossible! This…this brat has broken through to the peak of the sixth-stage Basic Realm? H-how is this even possible?” While the old overseer stared in disbelief, Xiang Shaoyun turned and noticed him standing there. 

Laughing, Xiang Shaoyun then asked, “Revered overseer, may I stay here for a little bit longer?”

“Eh? This…yeah, sure,” the old attendant replied, completely dumbfounded.

“In that case, many thanks!” Xiang Shaoyun cheerfully answered.

Leaving the front of the first room, the old attendant’s face was one of utter shock.
In the end, all the attendant could do was silently curse, “F*ck, this brat is definitely a masochist!”

If Xiang Shaoyun had heard his words, he would have fallen face flat onto the ground.
How could he be a masochist?! All he wanted to do was to further adapt himself to the gravity in the room and see how much longer he’d be able to last!

After a full four hours, Xiang Shaoyun finally came out of the hall.
The moment he stepped out, he immediately felt the pressure on his body disappear.
In fact, his body felt weightless now!

Extremely satisfied, Xiang Shaoyun laughed to himself, “Haha! Testing my limits feels great!”

By the time Xiang Shaoyun stepped out of the compound, the old overseer had been waiting for a long while.

“Brat, you’re not bad at all,” the old overseer praised Xiang Shaoyun without holding back.

“Many thanks for the revered overseer’s praise,” Xiang Shaoyun humbly replied, not letting what had just happened go to his head.

“Alright.
Since your challenge is a success, you’ll get 1,000 points as a reward!” the elder spoke as a matter of fact.

“What in the world is 1,000 points? I want food!” Xiang Shaoyun complained, as if he was a hungry ghost.
