Chapter 541 - 334: Experience Distribution, Part 2

Chapter 541: Chapter 334: Experience Distribution, Part 2

Almost simultaneously, on the Alka District page of the official Source Net website, a massive light screen refreshed. The final rankings were officially announced to the public.

An indescribable, familiar feeling instantly made Li Wen’s heart skip a beat—it was the premonition of experience points arriving.

Suppressing the urge to check immediately, he said to Ares and the others, "Everyone, I have some things to attend to, so I’ll be heading back now."

"Alright, see you later. I also need to get this news to my family right away."

Excitement was written all over Ares’s face. He had successfully broken into the top one hundred, an honor worth celebrating for the Titan Royal family.

Isabel, Naraku, and Raymond nodded as well.

They too needed to inform their loved ones of the results, and to process the shock and experience gained from the preliminaries.

The group exchanged goodbyes, and their figures quickly faded from the Virtual Cosmos.

...

「Real world. Area B, Villa 11. Meditation Chamber.」

Li Wen’s tightly shut eyes snapped open, a glint of irrepressible ecstasy shining from their depths.

"Success!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, he summoned his status panel:

[Congratulations! You have placed first in World #13 and third overall in the first stage of the Alka District preliminaries. You have been awarded 50,000,000 (MAX) Martial Daoist experience.]

[Class: Martial Daoist LV 8 (50,000,175 / 25,600)]

’Fifty million experience points!’ Li Wen’s heart hammered in his chest.

The last time he’d seen this many zeros was on some bill back in the capital.

This enormous sum was almost enough to let him skyrocket from his current level all the way to LV 19.

A powerful sense of anticipation welled up inside him.

He took a deep breath to quell his excitement and immediately issued a command to the villa’s AI:

"Star Pivot, seal all access points. Activate maximum-level defense and silent mode. Forbid any and all forms of disturbance!"

"Command confirmed. Defense matrix activated. Energy barrier generated. Information blackout initiated."

As Star Pivot’s steady electronic voice sounded, the entire villa was instantly cut off from the outside world, plunging into absolute silence.

Li Wen sat down cross-legged, regulated his breathing, and brought his mind and body to their peak state.

He gazed inward at his Dantian. The silver Time Dao Seed rotated slowly, suffused with the profound aura of its Law.

’Level up!’

The moment he had the thought, his status panel instantly refreshed.

[The Martial Daoist class has met the level-up requirements. Leveling up...]

An irresistible torrent of warmth erupted from deep within his body.

A vast wave of energy materialized inside him, meticulously scouring and reforging every cell, every meridian, and every bone in his body.

The muscles all over his body felt as if they were being repeatedly hammered, stretched, and compressed by a great, invisible hand.

His bones emitted a series of faint yet dense CRACKLING pops, as if he were being completely reforged from the inside out.

Half an hour later, this transformative torrent began to subside. ℴ

[Class: Martial Daoist LV 9 (49,974,575 / 51,200)]

Li Wen opened his eyes and clenched his fist, and the air in his palm let out a soft POP.

Strength, speed, resilience... The all-around improvement was palpable, his foundation made even more solid.

Without a moment of hesitation, he gave the mental command again: ’Keep leveling up!’

[The Martial Daoist class has met the level-up requirements. Leveling up...]

This time, the influx of energy was even more immense, the depth and breadth of the transformation far surpassing what had come before.

The warm current became a searing heat, penetrating to the very marrow of his bones.

The popping of his bones grew deeper and more muffled as their density increased at a startling rate.

His muscle fibers were torn apart and reformed, becoming even tougher and brimming with explosive power.

This process lasted a full hour.

[Class: Martial Daoist LV 10 (49,923,375 / 102,400)]

WHOOSH! Li Wen exhaled a long, steady stream of turbid air.

He threw a punch into the air, creating a visible vortex that rippled outward.

’My physical strength is already approaching the Late-stage Saint Realm!’ A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

But the pace of his leveling didn’t stop.

LV 11, LV 12... With each new level, the required energy and time increased, and the transformation of his body grew deeper and more thorough.

He was like a piece of raw jade, constantly being carved by a divine hammer fueled by experience points. All his impurities were stripped away, and a precious luster began to emerge.

When the notification for [Class: Martial Daoist LV 13 (49,206,575 / 819,200)] appeared, a qualitative change occurred!

HUMMM—!

A strange resonance suddenly emanated from deep within Li Wen’s body.

Every bone in his body instantly began to radiate a faint, stellar glow, as if the Milky Way itself had been set ablaze in the night sky.

The strength of his skin, muscles, and organs instantly leaped to an entirely new level. An incredibly dense, incredibly heavy quality emerged from within him.

He felt as if his body were no longer made of flesh and blood, but rather a stellar core of immense density, containing unimaginable power.

With every move he made, space itself seemed to lag, to grow imperceptibly heavy around him.

This was a leap in his very level of existence!

Right now, in terms of physical toughness, foundational strength, and recovery speed alone, he was already comparable to a Tier One Star Lord who specialized in body cultivation.

However, the Law patterns branded on his physical body remained at the level of the Early-stage Saint Realm, unable to perfectly match his formidable physique.

Even after this qualitative leap, the leveling continued.

LV 14, LV 15, LV 16, LV 17... Time flew by as he remained absorbed in the process.

Li Wen was completely immersed in the wondrous sensation of his body’s ceaseless strengthening.

Inside the villa, energy fluctuations rose and fell like the tides. If not for the powerful barrier provided by Star Pivot, the entire core district would have been alerted long ago.

「Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.」

Inside the meditation chamber, Li Wen sat cross-legged, his figure like an ancient, immovable boulder.

He was now at the final juncture, leveling up from LV 17 to LV 18.

[The Martial Daoist class has met the level-up requirements. Leveling up...]

The final, truly terrifying torrent surged into him!

This energy was no longer a warm current, but a maelstrom of raging lightning.

Across the surface of Li Wen’s body, brilliant gold and silver light intertwined, collided, and fused in a violent dance.
