Chapter 299: Little Blue vs Little Plum Part4
“Unlike your elven slave, you were born without any special constitution but you can rectify that here.”
“If you train your body with the set of elemental arrays, you can gain a Divine constitution too.”
“Not just any constitution but one of the most superior ones, the divine lotus constitution.”
“When the constitution is completed perfectly, elemental magic will no longer affect you.”
“Your mana affinity will also improve accordingly and you will progress in your future steps much more smoothly.”
Tang Yue nodded in understanding.
She knew that with her body’s innate evolution ability, she was able to achieve resistance to elemental magic, but she didn’t think that it was possible to be completely immune to them.
The nasal voice chuckled in amusement at her rare obedience and the next second a flood of information assaulted Tang Yue’s brain.

Tang Yue visibly salivated looking at the various notifications, especially at the experience points.
At her state, these many points were equivalent to an entire level.
She can reach Level 13 with just this one quest.
The old man was being truly generous this time around!!!
It had also been a while since she was able to access higher grade poisons so her poison cultivation had stagnated.
And now, this old man had casually tossed out several amazing array sets including a poison array.
In reality, he could have just given this to her from the start but Tang Yue decided not to think about that and get a headache.
She had them now and that was all that mattered.
Looking at all the upgrades that were available to her, Tang Yue’s hands were very itchy.
She wanted to try them out immediately!
However, she couldn’t leave the stone chamber just yet.
Tang Yue looked at Little Plum who was still buzzing rhythmically, immersed in its own cultivation.
She shook her head and sat back down helplessly. She couldn’t bring herself to disturb the small thing.
Though they couldn’t communicate with each other properly, Tang Yue still had a mental link with Little Plum.
So she knew that this was a very crucial juncture for the small guy.
But she was also in a shortage of time and hence couldn’t afford to take a breather.
Tang Yue thought about it for a while and took a few steps back, inching to the edges of the stone chamber.
She then pricked her finger with a hairpin and started drawing the dark element array.
Since she couldn’t go out, she decided that she might as well start her physical tempering here itself.
Even the ancient Deity would have shed tears if he knew that his treasured stone chamber containing the fragment of heavenly flame was being used as a mere training ground.
Tang Yue couldn’t care less. As far as she was concerned, time was the only thing that she needed.
So she quickly laid out the rune pattern, drawing it carefully and steadily.
A few minutes later, she was done with the basic set up but the array was not ready yet.
Even though she had the rune pattern for the array and used her own blood as the medium, she still needed a dark element affinity object for the array to function.
This object could be anything with a dark element affinity such as a dark element attribute herb or the remains of a dark element beast.
Affinity to the dark element was a rare thing and hence, these objects were extremely difficult to obtain, not to mention very expensive.
Luckily for Tang Yue, she happened to have several such herbs with dark elemental affinity in her possession, which she pilfered from the labyrinth.
So she quickly took out a couple and placed them at the center of the array.
The blood-stained surface of the stone chamber instantly thrummed alive and a domain consisting of dark elemental vapors materialized.
And Tang Yue was standing at the center of this oval-shaped dome fully made of black smoke-like substance.
Wisps of black smoke or rather dark elemental strands slowly and steadily coalesced around her, the oval-shaped domain becoming thicker and thicker, eventually turning into a pitch-black surface.
The array was finally fully activated!
Tang Yue nodded contently and sat down in a cross-legged position.
She closed her eyes and tried to meditate, focusing her mental strength.
Though the basic array set up was the same as the lightning array set up she had used previously at the smithy, there were still several differences.
Both the arrays tempered her body by unleashing attacks of varied strengths, steadily increasing the difficulty level.
The lightning elemental array had unleashed bolts of lightning at her while the dark elemental array would be unleashing wisps of dark strands.
Just like how the raw bolts of lightning had scorched and burned her skin, the strands of darkness would also unleash a similar physical attack but with a component of mental and soul attack.
So apart from attuning her body to the dark elemental, this array would also train her soul strength and mental strength a bit.
Tang Yue calmly exhaled in and out as she felt a barrage of attacks ramming on her body continuously.
These were gentle and barely scratched her at first but slowly as time went by the attacks grew more and more fearsome.
As soon as the first big attack landed on her, Tang Yue felt a mind-numbing pair surge through her body.
Drops of her blood splattered on the ground but that only made the array stronger.
She grit her teeth and quickly took a healing potion, chugging it all down in one go.
The bleeding immediately stopped and the pain was more manageable. However, the scars on her body still remained.
Dark elemental attacks always left scars behind and Tang Yue was no exception.
Minutes trickled by and Tang Yue’s body slowly adjusted itself to the dark elemental energy.
Whenever she was in the midst of cultivation the system notifications wouldn’t appear in front of her.
Otherwise, she would have seen the steadily increasing dark elemental resistance.
But even with her body constantly trying to adjust itself and upgrade accordingly, the array attacks soon overwhelmed her considerably.
Tang Yue soon lost her consciousness and with that the array slowly dissolved into thin air, all the gathered dark elemental energy dissipating.
A few hours later, she stirred awake again.
“Damn it. I am only at Level 20.”
Tang Yue rotated her cultivation base, sending her condensed mana surging through her meridians.
This restored her energy and body’s condition and adding a couple of health potions, she slowly recovered back to her peak condition.
Her body, however, looked hideous and disfigured, so much so that she couldn’t even tell if her disguise was still there or not.
Every inch of her skin was covered by scarred tissue.
Such was the power and deadliness of dark elemental attacks.
Affinity to this element was rare but those who managed to cultivate it were able to easily dominate the battlefield.
“Okay. I will deal with this later.”
Dark elemental scars were difficult to get rid of but the task was not impossible.
So Tang Yue ignored the scars and scabs covering her body and the few wounds still lingering on her skin for now.
She quickly pricked her fingertip again, harder than the first time because she had to poke through the rough skin, and started drawing out another dark elemental rune.
She had to undergo the same mind-numbing torture all over again.
Using these techniques to obtain the divine constitution might be a shortcut, but in no way was it easy and effortless.
Tang Yue was not afraid of this pain though.
She was more than willing to undergo torture even ten times brutal if it meant that it would make her stronger.
This torture was nothing when compared to the mental torture one felt from being helpless and desperate, their fate hanging in the hands of someone else.
So with a vivid smile on her disfigured face, Tang Yue sat back down at the center of the array.
Wisps of dark elemental energy gathered around her and she was once again enveloped by the oval domain made of black mist.
And after the array was fully activated, black strands started assaulting her body all over again.
The gentle smoke-like substances which brushed past her body like flower petals triggered inhumane pain and suffering.
But Tang Yue grit her teeth and bore with it all.
It almost looked as if she enjoyed this pain and suffering. This was the face of a true power leveling maniac!
