Time Manipulating System-Chapter 88
Chapter 88
No one expected the scene before them.
All the princes stared in shock and disbelief.
“Gu Yang’s strength… this is way too terrifying!”
“Seventy percent fist intent… and that fist technique looks like a top‑grade Earth‑level art.”
“The golden radiance, the Buddhist chanting… it resembles the popular high‑grade Human‑level technique, the Vajra Fist.”
“And Gu Yang must have tempered his body too. His physical strength is outrageous!”
“What a monster! No wonder he’s ranked eleventh on the Talent List!”
“At this rate… if he really fights the Fist Demon, the outcome might not be so easy to predict.”
The princes couldn’t help expressing their amazement.
Even the Second Prince, who never thought highly of Gu Yang, nodded in reluctant admiration.
Meanwhile, Princess Chu Linger’s eyes sparkled.
“So strong!”
“His fighting style is so domineering! Compared to him… he looks more like a ferocious beast!”
She felt astonished, but her curiosity only grew stronger.
After all, the rumors said Gu Yang was a sword prodigy.
He killed the Baiyang Sect’s Grand Elder with a sword.
If Gu Yang used a sword now…
how terrifying would he become?
With that thought, Chu Linger watched Gu Yang’s figure on the screen with growing anticipation.
As for Gu Yang…
After killing the Golden Howl Dog, he immediately turned and plucked the Spirit Blood Flower from the small puddle.
“The age isn’t high, but it’s fine.”
He examined the herb.
It was clearly newly grown, far from mature.
That was why the Golden Howl Dog guarded it instead of swallowing it.
But to Gu Yang…
insufficient age?
That wasn’t a problem.
Not a problem at all.
He sat cross‑legged on the ground.
Before modifying it, he glanced toward the distance.
His movement paused slightly.
Then he slowly turned around.
With a thought, he modified the Spirit Blood Flower to what it would be a thousand years later.
Swish!
A terrifying surge of blood‑essence erupted from the flower.
The dense vitality almost condensed into a physical form as it burst outward.
Gu Yang didn’t hesitate and swallowed the flower whole.
Fiery power flooded his entire body.
A burning sensation spread from head to toe.
To Gu Yang, this level of pain was child’s play.
He remained calm and endured it silently.
At the same time, the pure and heavy blood‑essence force rampaged through his body, destroying and repairing it repeatedly.
Inside the palace…
The First Prince watched Gu Yang lift his head and froze.
“Did Gu Yang just look in our direction?”
“What? Impossible. That beacon was planted by a Life‑and‑Death Realm expert Father hired. It’s deeply hidden. Gu Yang is only at the Tenth Level of the Condensed True Realm, not even Holding Origin. How could he sense it?” the Second Prince said quickly.
“You’re right. Probably just coincidence,” the First Prince agreed.
Their reasoning made sense.
How could Gu Yang detect their surveillance?
He must have looked that way by chance.
Seeing Gu Yang sitting and cultivating, they couldn’t discern anything unusual.
And since other beacons were now showing images of other prodigies, they shifted their attention.
Of course…
Gu Yang truly hadn’t discovered them.
But…
he vaguely sensed someone watching him.
The direction naturally aligned with the beacon’s location.
Perhaps his mastery of intent was strong enough to make him extremely sensitive to such probing.
That was why he deliberately turned around before modifying the herb.
His body‑refining session didn’t last long.
Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes.
His blood and qi surged wildly, and his strength felt fuller than ever.
“The Tempering Origin · Earth Fiend Art… finally perfected!”
A smile appeared on his face.
The thousand‑year Spirit Blood Flower had strengthened his body again…
and this time, the improvement was massive.
Not only had he perfected his body‑refining art,
but his physical strength had skyrocketed.
He clenched his fists.
Two million jin of force.
The strength of two flood dragons.
And with the perfected Earth Fiend Art, he could activate the Earth Fiend Body.
If he fully unleashed it…
his strength would double again.
Four flood dragons’ worth of power.
His physical body was now comparable to a low‑grade spiritual artifact…
extremely tough.
If he fought the Golden Howl Dog again,
he wouldn’t even need fist intent.
His body alone could smash it into paste.
The improvement from body refinement was enormous.
Gu Yang couldn’t help feeling impressed.
“This Purple Moon Secret Realm really is full of treasures. A random Spirit Blood Flower gave me such a huge boost.”
“What a treasure land.”
After sighing, he stood up and didn’t linger.
With such a place, it would be a waste not to explore while time allowed.
He picked a direction and sprinted away.
Along the way, he searched everywhere, leaving no corner unchecked.
Sure enough, before long, he reached a forest.
Inside, he sensed a pure spiritual aura.
Following it, he reached the forest’s edge.
Not far away, a strange stone structure appeared.
Gu Yang paused in surprise.
There were buildings inside the Purple Moon Secret Realm?
Judging from the craftsmanship, it looked crude…
as if a powerful cultivator had moved giant stones with true essence and carved them into a house.
More importantly…
the pure spiritual aura he sensed came from inside.
Without hesitation, Gu Yang stepped into the stone house.
His eyes lit up instantly.
Inside the small stone room lay a spirit sword.
And this sword was clearly not on the same level as the low‑grade spirit sword at his waist.
The spiritual fluctuations were stronger, and the blade shimmered with strange light.
A mid‑grade spirit artifact.
Gu Yang felt delighted.
He didn’t expect to find such a treasure in a place like this.
A pleasant surprise indeed.
He eagerly reached out to pick up the sword…
But at that moment…
A terrifying sword aura tore through the air, slashing straight toward his right hand.
Boom!
The terrifying sword aura was impossibly sharp, blasting the stone structure into dust on impact.
Seeing this, Gu Yang frowned and instinctively withdrew his right hand.
He slowly turned toward the source of the sword aura.
A young man in luxurious robes walked toward him at an unhurried pace.
He held a low‑grade spirit sword in his hand.
“Sorry. This sword belongs to me.”
His tone was natural, as if arrogance came as easily as breathing.
His gaze toward Gu Yang carried open disdain.
“So you’re Gu Yang?”
“A swordsman who doesn’t use a sword and fights with his fists… truly disgraceful.”
“You… are not worthy of using a sword.”
The moment his words fell, the palace erupted in commotion.
“Look! It’s Zheng Yuhe, ranked seventh on the Talent List!”
“He ran into Gu Yang!?”
“This is going to be good!”
“Hiss… Zheng Yuhe actually said Gu Yang isn’t worthy of using a sword!?”
“Well, Zheng Yuhe specializes in swordsmanship. His sword arts are exquisite, and he’s comprehended fifty percent sword intent. He does have the qualifications to say that.”
“I want to see how Gu Yang responds.”
“Zheng Yuhe is ranked seventh. His strength is nothing to scoff at.”
“I bet Gu Yang loses within two moves.”
The princes watched with anticipation.
