Chapter 841 Vital House Physique Awakens

Lin Wu had certainly not expected the fatty to awaken his physique right away.

"System, scan him again!" Lin Wu ordered.

In just a matter of seconds, Lian Xiaojian had gone from the child soul stage to the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm. This was a very fast breakthrough and Lin Wu could compare him with himself.

~HONG~

"No wait... it's not ending." Lin Wu said as he felt the spirit Qi trembling in air.

Lian Dajian also sensed it and couldn't help but gasp.

"He's going to breakthrough once more?" Lian Ruanjian was surprised like a mouse coming across a cat.

The spirit Qi in the air swirled forcefully and was sucked into Lian Xiaojian's body. The suction was far to strong for a normal cultivator to bear and tears appeared on Lian Xiaojian's body as well.

But just as they appeared, his vitality quickly healed them. This continued in an endless cycle, until the former fatty had gathered enough spirit Qi.

~SHUA~

A Nascent soul jumped out of his body and came to float above Lina Xiaojian's head. The Nascent soul was unlike the former fatty though. It wasn't fat like the previous self, and neither was it extremely thin like the current body.

Instead, it was a slim but athletic body. It was the body Lian Xiaojian would have if he was an Olympic swimmer for decades. This was evidently the best form that the man could achieve and was shown in his nascent soul.

The Nascent soul opened its eyes and made several gestures with its hands, gathering the spirit Qi swirling around Lian Xiaojian.

~HUALA~

The spirit Qi directly rose above the nascent soul and started to spin under the hand gestures. Bit by bit, its size started to decrease and about five minutes later, it had seconded enough to reach the size of a small marble.

~WHOOSH~

Once it was at that point, the Nascent soul held it in its hands and took a look at it. After a moment's glance, he it into his mouth and smiled contently as if he had just eaten some tasty candy. Having done that, the Nascent soul flew back into Lian Xiaojian's body.

"It... ate the spirit Qi?" Lin Wu was confused. 'I thought he was going to breakthrough into the Dao Shell realm... it even gathered the spirit Qi in the manner of making a Dao Shell. But it was not so?' Several questions appeared in Lin Wu's mind but he had no answers.

The system was also hard at work analyzing everything.

~thud~

Lian Xiaojian landed back on the ground and opened his eyes, finding everything to be different. It was as if the world had become sharper and clearer for him. Everything was brighter and even in the dim hall he could see things as if they were under the sun.

But not just that, he could feel a newfound power within his body. It was unlike anything he had felt before.

Sure, Lian Xiaojian was a Nascent soul realm cultivator before too, but the strength that he felt back then came from the spirit Qi he had cultivated. Now though, it seemed as if the power was coming from his body itself. It was as if the cells themselves were overflowing with vitality!

"I... Feel Strong... SO STRONG!" Lian Xiaojian clenched his fist.

~POP~

The air within his palm got compressed and made a little popping sound as it escaped from between his finger gaps. And this was done with just light strength with little effort.

'',

"Congratulations my son!" Lian Dajian couldn't hold back and rushed to his son.

~SQUEEZE~

Lian Dajian directly hugged the now skinny Lian Xiaojian and almost buried him into his body.

The former fatty almost couldn't believe his eyes, but the power thrumming in his body showed him that it was all true.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Young master Xiaojian!" Lian Ruanjian said in an excited tone.

After all, he now had several reasons to be excited. Lian Xiaojian reaching the peak of the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm meant that was now comparable to the two other top heirs of the Lian clan. The only thing he was lacking in comparison to them was the businesses and experience with it.

'And now that Young master has successful awakened the Vital House Physique, then Patriarch should have a better chance too, right?' Elder Ruanjian thought.

~RUMBLE~

Just as they were rejoicing, a low rumbling sound was heard. They all looked towards the source of it and saw that it had come from Lian Xiaojian.

"AH!!" Lian Xiaojian let out a painful cry.

"What happened?!" Lian Dajian asked in a concerned tone.

"I... I..." Lian Xiaojian stuttered.

"Yes! Speak! Tell us what's wrong!" Lian Dajian said frantically.

"I'm... I'm hungry." Lian Xiaojian finally spat out.

~CHUCKLE~

Lin Wu couldn't help but laugh hearing that and found it to be accurate for the former fatty.

"That is reasonable. Your breakthrough was triggered by your Vital House Physique, which used up all the stored energy in your body and converted into spirit Qi. It is normal for you to have pent of hunger now.

Your physique depends on you consuming energy rich food." Lin Wu explained.

"Ah! That's right!" Elder Ruanjian remembered the abilities of the Vital House Physique.

The owner of the Vital House Physique would store the energy from various materials into their body as fat and would then burn it to release this energy when needed. It could thus allow one to exert far greater power than their actual cultivation base.

It even had other uses such as forcefully providing a boost to break through a bottleneck, just like Alchemical pills would.

"Good! GOOD!" Lian Dajian clapped his hands. "Let's get you some food to eat." He said with a smile on his face.
