Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 93 93. [Sun Forged Body Refinement]

Everything in life comes with a risk.

His chance to become a true god is right here in front of his eyes.

He must make full use of it by any means necessary.

After reading this, Aiden's mind wandered.

After thinking this way, Aiden's mind began to whirl.

Life Liquid and complete body recovery.

He needed a divine technique that could take full advantage of this ability.

Although his venture into the mountain forest had left him half-dead, he and the others had earned a lot of divine credits, so money was not an issue.

Knowing this, Aiden could barely contain his excitement and got up.

From now on, he was only going to get even stronger.

...

Hours later, a slightly tired figure could be seen leaving the divine library.

Finding the perfect divine technique was much harder than he had expected.

Simply put, nobody practices techniques that cause injury! Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

But if you think about it, it made sense. Not everybody has the ability to heal themselves, much less heal themselves perfectly.

Injuries are not only painful but, if not treated properly, could become the very thing that hinders them on the road to godhood.

With such an obvious danger, who in their right mind would practice such a skill?

These techniques were left only for the truly desperate or utterly insane.

Aiden had to scrounge around in the back rooms and restricted areas to find the divine technique that fit the description, and he had to sift through and look even harder to find divine techniques that matched his divinity.

But although Aiden was tired and exhausted, there was still a giant smile on his face.

It was a troublesome experience, but it had still been a success after all.

Aiden looked at the small booklet in his hand and caressed it like he was holding a precious treasure.

[Sun Forged Body Refinement]

It was a grand-sounding technique, and to be fair to its creator, if the theory could be put into practice, the divine technique would really be befitting of such a name.

To complete the technique was not easy.

As the name implies, the creator of this divine technique wanted to create a divine practice that could allow one to have the power of a body forged in the heart of the sun!

Like all body refinement techniques, just getting started required harsh damage and testing of the body.

But this one bordered on torture.

The term "Sun-Forged" wasn't a joke.

Although anything close to the sun was just a metaphor at this stage, the entry levels of the [Sun Forged Body Refinement] required training in boiling conditions that would simply fry someone's skin.

It was ridiculously harsh and brutal, but if that were simply the end of things, there would have been at least a few people crazy enough to try it and even fewer crazy enough to succeed.

No, what truly made this technique impractical was not the physical damage, but rather the mental damage.

The visualization of this divine technique involved imagining yourself entering the sun.

Visualization wasn't just some flimsy mental exercise.

When it came to beings with the blood of the gods, visualization was something more mystical, bordering on the barriers between realms and reality.

Visualizing a sun, especially one that would be used to temper your body, was the same as bringing a sun into your mind.

Even if you had the blood of the sun god flowing in your veins, there was simply no way to withstand that!

Your mind and your mental strength wouldn't just be damaged; they would be burned and evaporated.

The pain inflicted directly on the mind was beyond comprehension. One's essence was being burnt away, and unlike with physical injuries, injuries to the mind were much more serious.

They were harder to heal.

Even if you could endure the pain, without a way to properly recover your mental strength, if you kept repeating that technique, you'd practice yourself into becoming an idiot, if not simply annihilating your mind completely, becoming nothing more than an empty shell.

If there was a silver lining to such a condition, it would be that one's mental strength would effectively be nurtured and strengthened to an unimaginable degree with such practice. The only regrettable thing was that by then, the practitioner would likely already be long dead.

[Sun Forged Body Refinement] only came with one real combat technique.

[Sun Forged Battle Body]

A pure, flat-out multiplicative effect in the wielder's strength that only increased as the degree of body refinement rose.

Aiden could still remember the detailed diagram, showing that when activating the technique, the user would become a wild flaming warrior with enough force to shatter mountains.

Aiden sighed and thought about the creator of the technique, who had left the visualization scroll.

It was said that the poor man went too far practicing the technique and burned his mind, soul, and body to a crisp.

Not even Hades could reclaim the poor man's soul, which just goes to show how horrifying the technique was.

If Aiden didn't have the mystic Life Liquid to help him, even if he had the courage of a god, he still wouldn't dare practice this technique.

In fact, everyone else thought the same thing.

The [Sun Forged Body Refinement] could be used without the visualization technique to a much weaker degree and still had a moderate effect on beings within the first rank.

So, when Aiden redeemed it, the librarian at the counter just thought Aiden was using the technique without visualization to increase his strength before the final trial.

She never would have thought there was actually someone in front of her crazy enough to practice the technique in its entirety!

[Sun Forged Battle Body] wasn't the only divine technique Aiden redeemed as well.

He had also redeemed a minor combat technique from Apollo, called [Healing Hand].

As the name implied, it was a minor healing technique that descendants of Apollo could learn.
