97: The magic is mastered, the divine body of the Holy Dao Academy

Two months passed in a flash, and Qin Ding's courtyard was filled with a golden light.

This golden light was not simply released by spiritual power; if someone understood the Dao of Light, they would know that this golden light contained therhyme of the Dao of Light.

Qin Ding, enveloped in golden light, suddenly opened his eyes, and with two fingers bent together, the light that had filled the entire courtyard converged onto his fingertips.

Then, a beam of light, condensed to the extreme, instantly shot out from Qin Ding's fingertip.

This beam of light left a small white dot on a Restriction not far away.

"Not bad, not bad," Qin Ding felt very satisfied with the power of this single strike.

After two months of comprehension, he had actually touched the Realm of the Law of Light.

This was quite remarkable, as normally, comprehending a Law required a Great Power level.

And to grow to the Great Power level, one was already considered a Genius in their youth; to comprehend a Law before reaching Great Power was to be a Genius among Geniuses.

Of course, there was still some gap between Qin Ding's Law of Light and a Great Power's Law of Light.

The Law of Light he had comprehended was still relatively shallow, barely touching the threshold, while those who reached the Great Power level had already entered the initial stage of comprehending Laws; he had only touched the threshold, so there was naturally still a gap.

Of course, this was the gap between Qin Ding and a Great Power; in Realms like Soul Fire Realm and even Forging Body Realm, Qin Ding could be said to be unrivaled.

Most people in these Realms, let alone touching the threshold of a Law, couldn't even comprehend a Law.

The 'most people' referred to here had quite high requirements; for example, Bai Yaocai, Qin Ding estimated he hadn't even comprehended a Law before.

Now, he should be able to Cultivate that One Sword Style.

Qin Ding couldn't help but show a slight smile.

Two days later, Qin Ding thrust his sword, and an extremely condensed sword glow pierced through the Void Realm, landing on the Formation Restriction in the courtyard, causing ripples.

After two days of Cultivation, Qin Ding had also successfully Cultivated this One Sword Style.

Of course, the reason it was so fast was mainly because Qin Ding's foundation was too good; there was no need to mention his Swordsmanship, and in terms of the Dao of Light, Qin Ding had directly touched the threshold of the Law of Light in these two days, far exceeding the threshold for Cultivating the One Sword Style.

So, Cultivating this Treasure Art was a matter of course.

In addition to this One Sword Style, Qin Ding also practiced a Clone Art.

The principle of this Clone Art was also based on the Law of Light, so Qin Ding also Cultivated it quite quickly.

At the same time, Qin Ding also asked his clan to forge a set of equipment for him. This set of equipment included battle armor, battle boots, weapons, and so on.

Although he had a sacred item, the sacred item consumed too much, so it would definitely be used as a trump card.

For other battles, he also needed a handy weapon.

As the time gradually approached, the atmosphere within Saintly Way Academy became more lively, with discussions primarily revolving around the competition for the Three Secrets quota.

And under the discussions of many students, the Academy's higher-ups finally announced the qualifications for competing for the Three Secrets quota.

The quota for the Three Secrets remained three, and to contend for this Three Secrets quota, the prerequisite was to be among the top ten on the Holy Spirit Rankings.

The purpose of doing this was mainly to prevent some students from deliberately competing for fun and causing trouble.

"It actually requires being in the top ten of the Holy Spirit Rankings. It seems I'll have to find someone in the top ten of the Holy Spirit Rankings to fight and push them out."

After learning this news, Qin Ding also found Qin Ning and asked him to choose someone from the top ten of the Holy Spirit Rankings.

"Saint, although the Holy Spirit Rankings is the most valuable ranking list for our Saintly Way Academy students, this value doesn't mean one hundred percent. In normal times, there are actually some individuals who hide themselves, waiting for an opportunity to soar."

"If you challenge someone ranked lower, such as tenth or ninth, and succeed, what if two other people also successfully challenge the top ten of the Holy Spirit Rankings? Wouldn't that push you out?"

"If Saint has confidence, I suggest you challenge someone ranked a bit higher, for example, from seventh to fifth. That way, it's safer."

Qin Ning's words implicitly suggested that if Qin Ding needed it, his seventh position could be given up entirely.

Qin Ding naturally perceived Qin Ning's meaning and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. If I take your place, everyone will probably think you went easy, and who knows what other problems might arise then."

"But what you said makes some sense. I'll go challenge the fifth-ranked one next."

"Saint, you should still choose someone else." Hearing that Qin Ding actually chose Shi Qi, Qin Ning's mouth twitched slightly as he suggested.

"Is there anything special about the fifth-ranked person on the Holy Spirit Rankings?" Qin Ding asked in return.

Qin Ning gave a wry smile and said, "The one ranked fifth on the Holy Spirit Rankings is named Shi Qi. Purely in terms of strength, she isn't the strongest in Saintly Way Academy, but in terms of potential, this Shi Qi is probably the most talented in the Academy, besides you, Saint."

"Oh, what's the situation?" Qin Ding felt it was a bit interesting.

"This Shi Qi is a Physique." When Qin Ning uttered the two words 'Physique,' Qin Ding's eyes narrowed slightly.

Physique are among the strongest Physiques in the world; once confirmed to possess a Physique, they are almost certainly the strongest among the younger generation of a Top-Tier Dao Lineage or a Supreme Power.

The entire Power would spare no resources to Cultivate him.

In an ordinary era, a Physique would be enough to sweep through all young Prodigies of an entire generation.

Even in this prosperous era, a Physique should be among the most top-tier Prodigies, possessing the capital to contend for the Immortal Emperor position.

"What kind of Physique is this Shi Qi? And what is her background? A Physique actually sent to Saintly Way Academy? Is it also specifically for the Three Secrets?"

Qin Ding also expressed some doubts.

"This Shi Qi is an Innocent Divine Body. She seems to have been accidentally discovered by a certain important figure in Saintly Way Academy, and then immediately brought to the Academy. She should be the Academy's own Prodigy," Qin Ning said.

"Innocent Divine Body."

Qin Ding knew about this kind of Physique; it was rumored that an Innocent Divine Body's body naturally had no Impurities, and it could convert absorbed energy 100% for its own use, making its Cultivation progress absolutely abnormal.

"What is Shi Qi's Realm, and how old is she?"

Qin Ding couldn't help but ask.

"Fifteen years old, Soulfire Realm Ninth Level peak."

Qin Ning's answer made Qin Ding gasp.

Fifteen years old, meaning she was only one year older than himself, or possibly even less than a year, and she was already at the Soulfire Realm Ninth Level peak. Her Cultivation speed was even more abnormal than his own.

"As expected of an Innocent Divine Body, the fastest Cultivating Physique among all Physiques in the world," Qin Ding exclaimed.

"No, if Shi Qi is at the Soulfire Realm Ninth Level peak, how could she be ranked fifth? With the combat power of a Divine Body, she could completely sweep the Holy Spirit Rankings."

Qin Ding discovered a problem: although an Innocent Divine Body was a Physique skilled in Cultivation, it didn't mean she was weak in combat power. Perhaps she was slightly weaker than other Divine Bodies specialized in combat, but compared to other ordinary Prodigies, she was absolutely invincible at the same Realm.

"It seems she is Cultivating a strange Cultivation Technique, where most of her Cultivation power will be Sealed, and her combat power is less than one-tenth of its full potential," Qin Ning thought for a moment and replied.
