This body’s soul was clearly extremely thirsty and could rapidly grow, but there wasn’t enough energy to supply it. It couldn’t seek external help; the only way to absorb energy was by eating!

Eating allowed him to absorb nutrients to supply his body and soul. Furthermore, this world was only filled with mortal food. There was no way to transcend the mortal world by eating these.

I can’t absorb external powers just by eating. Even my willpower can’t control my soul. It should be a law restriction. Meng Chuan understood this point.

Become the strongest in this world as a mortal? Meng Chuan pondered and continued reading.

…

Meng Chuan taught at Exorcism Academy. He spent his free time reading and exercising.

Mortals could naturally temper their bodies.

Meng Chuan knew too many ways to temper his body. As he tried, he gradually figured out a set of mortal exercises. This was the most suitable training method based on his severed arm.

He also bought a large amount of meat, and he ate large amounts of meat every day. With enough meat, not only could his body become stronger rapidly, but his soul could also absorb nutrients and grow.

He ate meat every day for an hour. Every day, he trained with his mortal body exercises for eight hours. On average, he only needed to teach for an hour a day… Besides working out every day, he had to make the best use of his time to read.

As a mortal, he had limited time. Even if he tried his best, it would be very difficult for him to transcend the tribulation successfully. If he slacked off? He would probably fail.

Apart from sleeping, he didn’t waste any time. Just this mental fortitude and perseverance were something very few mortals could attain.

In two years, his body had reached the limits of mortals.

Sigh, the soul a mortal body at its limits can carry is too weak. Meng Chuan picked up a 50-kilogram stone lock with his left hand and casually threw it. After throwing it five to six meters high, he reached out to catch it.

It seemed pretty good, but any random Bizarro Fiend was ten-fold stronger than him in pure strength, much less a Great Fiend that could destroy cities.

Such a body is the limit of this world’s mortals? Meng Chuan sighed.

Mortals had their limits. Strength, speed, and everything else had their limits, and it was difficult to break past the limits.

Meng Chuan estimated that 1,500 kilograms of strength was the limit for mortals. Of course, he had to consider his severed arm.

After my body reaches its limits, the soul I can carry will also reach its limits. I won’t be able to become stronger; this is the foundation I can rely on. Meng Chuan knew this very well.

Exorcists use their psyche to communicate with Dharma Seals, talismans, Dharma artifacts, and other items… The psyche originates from the soul. My soul’s limit is only this high. Furthermore, a mortal’s body will gradually decline from its peak at the age of 30. They will be old by the age of 50. It’s already not bad if they can live to the age of 80 or 90.

Therefore, it’s best if I succeed in transcending the tribulation at the age of 30. The longer I delay, the older my body will become, and the weaker my soul will be… In turn, it will be harder to become the world’s strongest.

Meng Chuan also understood this.

The strongest in this world was naturally not in comparison to humans but to all living beings in this world.

…

The third year of Meng Chuan’s teaching.

“The rebels have entered the capital!” The capital was in chaos, and the flames of war burned through the entire city.

The imperial palace was in chaos; the imperial family had fled in advance.

A one-armed, linen-clothed youth walked out of the imperial palace with a bag on his back. Some soldiers encountered him, but they didn’t seem to see him.

Meng Chuan’s soul had reached this mortal body’s limit. Although he had yet to reach the Essence Soul realm, Meng Chuan could still cast simple illusions. At the very least, he could bewitch dozens of ordinary people. Of course, if he encountered someone with strong willpower, the illusions his soul cast could be seen through. That or in front of a large number of people… He couldn’t bewitch too many people at the same time.

The imperial family actually ignored these three precious Exorcism manuals. They only fled with the treasures. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly.
