Apocalypse: Grinding EXP through Hunting

Chapter 222 - 215: May I Ask for Your Guidance?

Perfect Extraordinary?!

If a typical genius had asked this, Bai Shuo would have stormed off on the spot, leaving them with a parting shot:

"Young man, I advise you not to overreach. Know your place!"

But since it was Tang Wen asking, he didn't dare to be dismissive.

Instead, he had to think carefully about how to persuade him to give up this unrealistic idea.

It wasn't that Tang Wen lacked the aptitude or anything.

It was that achieving Perfect Extraordinary was too time-consuming, too difficult to grasp, and the risks were far too great!

Bai Shuo chose his words with a serious expression. "Whether Perfect Extraordinary even exists is, in fact, still a question."

"How so?" Tang Wen's eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

He immediately ignored the food that Bai You Ruo and Bai Xue were offering him.

'What Miss Bai? What barbecued meat? Could they be more appealing than the burly, dark-faced man before me—Bah! I mean, more appealing than the path of Martial Arts?'

"The so-called perfect transformation, achieving the Perfect Extraordinary state, requires meeting several conditions.

"First, your Spiritual Meditation Method must reach Perfection or Great Success.

"The sign of this is when the characters of your Spiritual Power automatically circulate within your Sea of Consciousness, refining your Spiritual Power on their own."

After saying this, Bai Shuo paused.

However, he couldn't detect any shock or unusual expression on Tang Wen's face.

All he could see was calmness.

His eyes were like a deep, ancient well, without a single ripple.

Of course, he wasn't hoping to see Tang Wen dejected, but the young man didn't even show the confidence and pride common to geniuses.

This couldn't help but make him respect Tang Wen even more!

He thought back to his youth, when he and the two Bai Family brothers had broken through to the Extraordinary realm before the age of twenty-five.

Man, their egos had exploded back then!

No matter where they went, even to the latrine, the three of them would walk abreast, taking up the whole path!

They looked down on everyone as if they were trash!

Even the Sixth Grade experts in the family had to make way for them.

This state of affairs lasted for over half a year, until an internal martial arts tournament was held in Sanlian City.

A Direct Lineage member from another major family completely wiped the floor with Bai Shuo.

Only then did his mentality slowly begin to change.

But this Tang Wen before him, whose Talent was more than twice as good as his own?

From the moment they met until now, he couldn't see a single trace of arrogance in his eyes.

'What a demon!'

He took a sip of wine and continued, "The second point is refining the internal organs. You have a Dark Ability, right?

"Using a Dark Ability to refine your viscera and bone marrow is a painful process.

"But that's relatively manageable.

"Perfect Extraordinary also demands a more powerful physique to match one's formidable Spiritual Power.

"You must master one of the most difficult Defense Techniques among the Visualization Martial Arts.

"For example, the Bai Family's Golden Jade Body!"

As he spoke, Bai Shuo extended his hand, and his skin took on a faint golden hue.

It looked like gold and stone.

It looked incredibly hard.

Seeing this, Bai Shuo casually picked up a rock and stabbed his arm forcefully with its sharp edge!

CRACK!

The rock shattered.

His golden, jade-like skin was completely unscathed.

It didn't even leave a white mark.

'Hmm, it's about the same as my Golden Bell Shield.'

Seeing Tang Wen fall silent, Bai Shuo took the opportunity to say, "The Bai Family doesn't just have the Golden Jade Body; we also have multiple Defense Techniques like Profound Turtle Force and Unmoving Body. Generally, when we cultivate talent, we let them experience and find which technique suits them best. Smaller factions don't have that luxury of choice."

Tang Wen nodded and smiled. 'Sorry, I don't get to choose either, but I brute-force it with "Talent"!'

'Yes, my Talent is the Experience Panel.'

Tsk!

'This kid... this demon's temperament is truly excellent.'

The Bai Family, when choosing people, values Talent, but they value temperament even more.

Some people are arrogant and hold grudges over the smallest things.

The better their Talent, the greater the harm they tend to cause in the end.

"The last point, and the most difficult one, is transforming your very marrow to unearth your Extraordinary Ability. You have to unearth just the right amount."

"Please enlighten me."

Tang Wen's tone became even more polite, his posture even more humble.

To him, the experience of this Bai Family expert was worth a king's ransom!

"Of course. Haha!" Teaching a genius felt good to Bai Shuo as well.

"There's a theory called 'Extraordinary Overload.' I wonder if you've heard of it?"

Tang Wen shook his head just as Bai Xue brought him some freshly grilled meat.

He thanked her with a smile and immediately passed the plate to Bai Shuo. "Please, eat while you talk."

Bai Shuo grinned. "A person's Extraordinary Ability is very strange. It has no upper limit to its awakening. Let's assume a person's body is a bucket. What happens if you keep pouring water into the bucket?"

"It overflows?" Tang Wen knew it couldn't be that simple; he was just playing along.

"Water overflows, but how does your Extraordinary Ability overflow?"

Tang Wen didn't know. 'Does black smoke start pouring out of my body?'

Bai Shuo's smile vanished. He stared at Tang Wen and said, word by word, "Your flesh will be replaced by darkness!"

"What?" Tang Wen's pupils shrank in shock.

"It doesn't start by replacing your hands or your arms, but your heart, your liver, your kidneys!" Bai Shuo lowered his voice as if telling a ghost story. "An Extraordinary Physique is incredibly resilient! Unless your heart is replaced, you won't die immediately. Instead, you'll be tormented by endless agony!"

Tang Wen was silent for a moment before asking, "So you mean, to become a Perfect Extraordinary, you have to get the awakening level of your ability to stop exactly at your body's maximum limit? Stuck at one hundred percent?"

"Yes, that's a good way to put it. Stuck exactly at one hundred percent! But that's absolutely impossible!" Bai Shuo said rapidly. "Neither you nor any outsider can accurately, or even relatively accurately, say what your current awakening level is. Can you?"

Tang Wen lowered his head and thought to himself: 'Not only can I, but I can be precise to two decimal places.'

Seeing him lower his head, Bai Shuo smiled again. "See! That's the problem.

"You must remember, it's fine to pursue the Perfect Extraordinary. On the path of Martial Arts, having a heart that constantly strives for more is a good thing!
