NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Golden Body Technique.
Following the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique and the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique, this is Lin Yuan’s third True Gang Martial Arts.
A technique that enhances defense!
Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique… now it should be called Tiger Demon Body Tempering True Technique.
It’s called body tempering, but strictly speaking, it mainly refines the internal qi and blood, with physical strength being secondary; compared to true hard internal skill, there is still some difference.
The reason Lin Yuan has a strong physique is also due to the focus on both skin refinement and breaking the limit through blood exchange!
His thoughts stirred, and his personal panel appeared before his eyes.
【Name】: Lin Yuan
【Age】: Sixteen
【Cultivation Level】: True Gang Realm Ninth Sky
【Martial Arts】: Red Line Fist, Capture Hand, Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique, Tiger Demon Body Tempering True Technique, Golden Body Technique
【Title】: Ghost Scourge, Demon Hunter
【Simulated Lifespan】: Ten Years
“Cultivating to the True Gang Realm level, it seems that breaking the limit is indeed not that simple.”
Lin Yuan was not surprised by this either.
Both skin refinement and blood exchange breaking the limit cost so much simulated lifespan, so reaching the True Gang Realm naturally required even more.
With his “small town genius” talent, if he could break the limit in the True Gang Realm in just over a decade, there would be many more people breaking limits in the world.
After all, there were many warriors who stayed stuck at the True Gang Realm Ninth Sky for decades or even until death without any change.
“However, the simulator is different, equivalent to allowing me to cultivate without rest, stay focused at all times, something that wouldn’t happen in reality.”
Lin Yuan thought silently.
Therefore, he had confidence in breaking the limit; it would just take some more time.
…
【Tiger Demon Body Tempering True Technique (True Gang)】
【Realm: Perfection】
【Special Effects: Tiger’s Might, Tiger Demon, Level 5 Strength Enhancement, Suppress Evil Spirits, Shedding】
Huh?
The first three effects were in line with Lin Yuan’s expectations.
Setting aside Tiger’s Might and Tiger Demon, there had been a previous occurrence of Strength Enhancement before, such as in Red Line Fist, which was a level 1 Strength Enhancement.
But Suppress Evil Spirits and Shedding?
A strange look flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes.
The inherent talent of the Tiger Demon was its ability to turn living beings consumed by it into evil spirits, hence the saying “setting evil spirits as tigers.”
Unexpectedly, his Tiger Demon Body Tempering True Technique also possessed these effects?
“Is it because I consumed the Tiger Demon’s flesh and blood, or did the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique upgrade into the Tiger Demon Body Tempering True Technique? Or perhaps, both?”
“No, it should be…”
Suddenly, Lin Yuan remembered during the simulation of the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique, there had been an instance of going astray and comprehending a bizarre technique called “Tiger Demon Transformation Technique,” with signs of his body starting to transform into a demon.
Presumably, this was when he obtained the Suppress Evil Spirits effect!
Although later corrected the mistake, this effect did not disappear but was retained instead.
“Shedding, most likely the same case.”
Recalling the time when the Tiger Demon shed its tiger skin, shrinking its body, Lin Yuan roughly understood.
The biggest issue with this technique was that after its execution, it would leave oneself in an extremely weakened state.
It could be considered a life-saving secret technique.
Secret technique.
“I wonder what special changes there will be when breaking the True Gang Realm limit?”
Lin Yuan maintained a calm expression, but a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Skin Refinement is golden skin, Blood Exchange is jade bones. Although they are only mentioned by storytellers or in stories, they have been mentioned after all, indicating that someone in this world has reached such a level.
Otherwise, why would such rumors exist?
But what kind of difference would breaking the True Gang Realm limit make has never been heard of…
“Let’s begin!”
His gaze fell on the Golden Body Technique, and he directly infused five years of lifespan into it.
【Due to perfecting the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique, you have an extremely deep foundation in martial arts】
【As the saying goes, when you comprehend one path, all paths are clear. Practicing the Golden Body Technique seems not difficult for you, as you only took three days to get started】
【In the second year, you broke through to the Proficient realm】
【In the third year, you broke through to the Mastery realm】
【You were slightly puzzled because, even if your foundation in martial arts is solid, generally, the cultivation speed shouldn’t be this fast】
【Worried about issues, you carefully reviewed the cultivation process, confirmed there were no problems, and your defense had indeed greatly strengthened】
【You reopened the manual, carefully looked through it, and found a small line of text at the end】
【: I’ve toiled for many years but am still constrained by ‘Copper Skin, Iron Bones.’ Unable to let go of it, I’ve created this technique with great effort in an attempt to carve a new path by cultivating ‘Golden Skin, Iron Bones,’ yet I have only scratched the surface, deeply regretful】
【You suddenly realized that the Golden Body Technique was actually created to break through to ‘Golden Skin, Jade Bones’】
【As your ‘Golden Skin, Jade Bones’ is already formed, this practice has half the effort for double the effect for you, but because of this, its improvement for you is not as significant as anticipated】
【Feeling reassured, you continued your cultivation】
【In the fifth year, you broke through to the Great Achievement realm】
…
Lin Yuan could only laugh and cry.
He thought his aptitude had genuinely improved and felt a bit joyful.
Who would have thought it was for such a reason.
He should have known long ago that the Golden Body Technique, from its name, was not it about cultivating golden skin!
And unless there were natural treasures, how could aptitude improvement be so easy?
【Golden Body Technique (True Gang)】
【Realm: Great Achievement】
【Special Effect: Defense Enhancement Level Two】
Looking at the remaining five years of simulated lifespan, Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and then directly infused all of it.
【Although the improvement to yourself wasn’t as much as imagined, since you had cultivated to this level, there was naturally no reason to stop】
【You continued your cultivation, in the seventh year, you broke through to the Proficient realm】
【Two years later, you very easily cultivated to the Mastery level. After all, this martial arts itself was created to break through ‘Golden Skin, Jade Bones,’ and you have already reached its endpoint】
【In the tenth year, despite already being perfect, you continued to practice the Golden Body Technique, wanting to see if there were new insights】
【Using yourself as a reference, you attempted to modify this martial art and have had some inspiration, but it is still early, and this spark of inspiration has not yet fully burst out…】
