Yuan’s Ascension

After dining with Chieftain Wu Qiming and his family at the ancestral mansion, Wu Yuan accompanied his mother to a neighbor's house to pick up his younger sister, then the family promptly returned home.

As the night deepened, his mother Wanqin, and sister Wu Yijun drifted off to sleep.

Wu Yuan navigated his way to the riverbank with a confident familiarity.

Finally, after more than a month since the mind fog cleared, I've managed to sort out most matters. A smile spread across Wu Yuan's lips.

His initial plan was to win first place in the martial academy's major tournament and claim 500 silver taels. But in the end, through a series of unforeseen events, he ended up with even more silver.

Now, as long as I don't meet with any major unexpected incidents, I have a year to focus on cultivation. Wu Yuan carefully surveyed the surroundings to ensure he was alone.

One year? In my previous life, I made it into the top ten of the Federation Youth Martial Arts Championship in just a few short years! I wasn't even seventeen then. Wu Yuan's eyes shone brightly.

Ages twelve to eighteen were the golden years of development. Even without special training, some teenagers experienced significant growth in their height, weight, and musculoskeletal system simply by eating a normal diet. And if they practiced martial arts? Their growth would be even more dramatic!

Martial arts was not the same as immortal cultivation - skill could always be improved later, but one must lay the foundation for their physical constitution before the age of eighteen.

One year? Even if I can't reach the peak of this body's potential, with the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique, it is highly possible for me to exceed my former peak!

Wu Yuan’s body transformed like a tiger or leopard released from its cage.

Crack! Pop! With a wide stance and his musculoskeletal system resonating in rhythm, his aura changed to that of a wild beast.

Over the past ten days or so, Wu Yuan had practiced the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique multiple times, improving his physique substantially. Now, the force behind a single punch of his surpassed 5000 catties. Such a rate of progress was truly terrifying!

The musculoskeletal structure of a tiger, the swiftness of a leopard.

Wu Yuan swallowed several low-grade body tempering pills with a flip of his hand. A soft explosion resounded in his abdomen. Seconds later, a heap of impurities flew out of his mouth. As his body grew increasingly robust, his digestive abilities naturally improved

Hot! Wu Yuan felt the medicine rapidly take effect. He didn't control it closely, instead quickly entering a state of cultivation, meticulously practicing various postures.

During his initial attempt at the cultivation method, Wu Yuan was unfamiliar with the process, causing him to make frequent adjustments to his bones, muscles, and blood flow rate. But now that he had some practice, coupled with the precise control he wielded over his body, he could easily enter an almost perfect state.

Zi! Zi! Zi! His posture changed from the inside out. With his spine as the core and his limbs as support, invisible bursts of energy began stimulating his muscles and fascia.

Wu Yuan adjusted his breathing and controlled the speed of his blood flow. Even his heart rate slowed down, achieving a resonance with his musculoskeletal system and the rest of his body.

The stimulation grew more apparent! Wu Yuan felt as if his entire body - Muscles, fascia, and bones, was getting concurrently bitten by an army of ants. It was unbearably uncomfortable. This indicated that his body was growing at an astonishing speed.

His muscles grew tougher and stronger, capable of unleashing greater strength. His fascia grew more resilient, and the density of his bones increased, capable of supporting more powerful muscles. Even his internal organs were vaguely affected, growing stronger.

Correspondingly, the energy provided by the body tempering pills was also consumed at astonishing speed.

Cultivating with a clear and relaxed mind leads to better effects? A thought flashed through Wu Yuan's mind, but he immediately banished it.

Ignore distractions, continue cultivating.

He had a deep understanding of martial arts. With each practice session, the principles of this cultivation method gradually unfurled, stirring the deepest cells within the musculoskeletal system to grow to perfection, propelling him ceaselessly toward the boundaries of biology!

In my past life, I only began practicing the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Technique after coming of age. Even so, I reached a strength of over 20,000 catties.

In this lifetime, what would happen if I were to practice two techniques simultaneously?

Wu Yuan’s heart was ablaze with anticipation. It took quite a while before he could regain his calm.

...

Days passed one after another.

Liu Ruyan, Xu Yuanhan, and a group of other elite students from the martial academy successively left Li City. Luo He and Wu Sheng also set out for the Southdream Martial Academy.

After the patrol team departed, General Xu did not give the Wu Clan any trouble, seemingly having let the matter go, just as Wu Yuan had hoped.

After bidding farewell to his two friends, aside from occasionally taking care of his sister and visiting the martial academy every few days, Wu Yuan devoted all his time to cultivating alone.

Day after day, his physical attributes improved at a frightening pace, constantly evolving. The enhancements in strength and the rapid transformation of his body utterly fascinated him.

Seasons changed from spring to autumn. In the blink of an eye, it was July, over three months since the martial academy major tournament.

In the dead of night on the riverbank.

Wu Yuan, exuding the aura of a fierce beast, struck a peculiar pose, lying half-prostrate on the ground. Beads of sweat rolled down his chiseled back and leg muscles.

Exhaling, Wu Yuan lightly jumped to his feet.

Each time I complete this Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique, I feel wonderfully comfortable. Wu Yuan reveled in the sensation of energy flowing through his body.

The amount of sweat that sprouted from the pores of his skin swiftly ebbed. Given Wu Yuan's body control, he could run tens of miles in one breath without breaking a sweat. However, the drastic transformation of his body's constitution made it difficult to control his perspiration.

The Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique is truly worthy of being the pinnacle of the Human Federation's wisdom, it's simply incredible.

The more he practiced, the more impressed he felt with this Strength Training method. It was hard to imagine how it was created - only the collective wisdom of billions of people from the Human Federation made it possible.

I thought that the effectiveness would gradually weaken with time as it did with the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Technique. Who would have thought the effects would actually improve? Wu Yuan felt rather emotional.

He now understood the reason behind this phenomenon. If these techniques were practiced after reaching adulthood, the effects would not be as obvious because one's musculoskeletal system would already be fully developed. But now, as he still was in the throes of furious growth, practicing the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique would stimulate his development even further.

In just three months, my strength is approaching that of my previous life! He could now exert a force of 18,000 catties with a single arm.

Wu Yuan had tested his physical strength at the martial academy yesterday when there was no one around. The result was not far off from what he perceived with his Internal Vision.

What terrifying power.

Just four months ago, when Wu Yuan first regained his senses, the force of his punch was only around 3,000 catties. Now, it had increased sixfold.

It's the result of the wondrous cultivation method, but more importantly, the genes. If I were at this age in the Human Federation, I wouldn't be able to reach this level in a year of practice, even with the aid of the AI network and the best nutrition.

A cat, no matter how much it exercised, couldn't become a tiger.

The Middle Land is vast, with numerous powerful martial artists in each generation. However, the number of fourteen-year-old fifth-grade martial artists should be few and far between.

Wu Yuan swung his fists. He controlled his muscles and bones to exert their strength, causing his muscles to bulge. Every part of his body became as tough as forged steel, brimming with formidable power.

The only problem is that the 800 body tempering pills I bought the last time are all used up.

I’ve made four consecutive trips to the Starcom Consortium. The fourth time, I believe they sent an Adept expert to track me down. Even though I managed to shake them off, I can no longer return.

Where should I go to get body tempering pills next?
