Chapter 198 Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, Doubled Strength
Chapter 198 The Ultimate Realm of Qi and Blood, Tenfold Increase in Strength
The six steps of body refinement separate skin and flesh refinement into two steps, but the "Dragon Nirvana Body Technique" emphasizes flesh refinement...
The skin is integrated and can be processed in one step.
Chen Lie recalled the tempering method of "tough skin and resilient flesh" in his mind and began to temper his body.
Stardust is a second-tier martial arts treasure specifically used for body tempering. If used properly, it is equivalent to tempering the body with external force ten thousand times, which not only saves a lot of time in body tempering, but also reduces the huge burden on the body caused by external force tempering.
If one practices martial arts incorrectly, relying solely on brute force to refine the body, applying medicinal liquids all over the body, and then forcibly absorbing them, although it may achieve the purpose of refining the skin and flesh, it will damage the body, forming hidden injuries in martial arts, and severely limiting the martial artist's potential.
Having mastered a martial arts secret technique like the "Dragon Nirvana Technique," Chen Lie naturally wouldn't fall into such a trap.
Following the secret method, Chen Lie opened the hidden orifices on his skin, making fuller use of the power of the Star Sand.
Under the influence of the body-refining technique, Chen Lie experienced a strong stinging sensation on the surface of his skin from the Stardust Sand.
In an instant, Chen Lie's skin turned bright red.
Enduring the intense pain in his skin, Chen Lie quickly completed the hardening of his skin and began the second stage of training his tough muscles.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lie felt the power of the Stardust begin to weaken, and his tough skin and flesh were nearing completion.
Until the last bit of power from the Stardust was absorbed by Chen Lie's skin, his skin had returned to normal.
At this moment, Chen Lie's skin became more translucent than before, his flesh and blood were firm and full, and the burden brought to his body by the force of more than 7,000 jin had disappeared without a trace.
After jumping out of the medicinal bath tub, Chen Lie rinsed off in the bathroom and then put on his clothes.
Suddenly, he noticed a series of knives on the table next to him. He had a feeling, so he took out a knife and fork, rolled up his sleeve, and exposed his arm.
Chen Lie lightly ran his sharp knife and fork across his arm.
But when the knife and fork were used, they only left a faint white mark on the skin of the arm.
In less than ten seconds, the white marks on her arm disappeared quickly, and her skin returned to normal.
"The tough skin and resilient flesh are indeed amazing. If I hadn't completed the training of tough skin and resilient flesh, my arm would definitely have bled and left a scar if it were cut by a knife and fork like that.
But now there isn't even a faint white mark.
After the experiment, Chen Lie put the knife and fork back in their original positions.
He took out his communicator and sent a message to his sister, Chen Xingyao, asking her to bring him the two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs from her room.
Chen Xingyao replied immediately after receiving the message: "Received!"
It will definitely be delivered within half an hour.
So Chen Lie waited in the medicinal bath room.
Less than half an hour later, Chen Lie received a message from his sister, Chen Xingyao.
"Brother, I've arrived."
After replying "I'll be right out," Chen Lie walked out of the bath room and headed outside the training grounds.
Once outside, Chen Lie immediately spotted Chen Xingyao waiting for him.
Upon seeing Chen Lie emerge, Chen Xingyao immediately strode forward.
"Brother, are these the two things you asked me to bring?"
Chen Xingyao handed the two boxes she was holding to Chen Lie.
"Yes, this is it. Give it to me."
After accepting the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, Chen Lie said, "I still need to practice my skills. If you don't want to go home for the time being, you can go inside and take a look around."
"OK."
After exchanging a few words with Chen Xingyao, Chen Lie went into the training ground and opened a private training room.
Inside the cultivation room, Chen Lie unsealed two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
"I have already mastered the training of tough skin and resilient flesh. Today, I should seize the opportunity and break through to the first extreme level of the Qi and Blood stage."
After muttering something to himself, Chen Lie began to eat the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs raw.
In a short while, the two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs were consumed by Chen Lie.
Instantly, a powerful force surged into Chen Lie's limbs and bones.
Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the training platform in the middle of the cultivation room, and the "Dragon Nirvana Technique" was running at high speed.
The hundreds of millions of cells in his body transformed into giant star beasts, frantically devouring the energy of the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
A phantom image of a dragon appeared and disappeared around Chen Lie.
After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal power of the two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs gradually weakened, and Chen Lie's "Dragon Nirvana Technique" also began to operate slowly.
As the enormous energy was completely absorbed, the wildly active cells in Chen Lie's body gradually fell silent.
As Chen Lie stood up again, his blood and qi surging and his aura, like that of a giant beast in the starry sky, filled the entire training room.
The first level of the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, refining the marrow like mercury and the Qi and Blood like a paste, is complete!
"Having mastered the Lesser Completion of the 'Dragon Rebirth Technique,' my level of life has been elevated—"
Chen Lie clearly felt his breathing become longer, his heart pounding, and his senses being elevated, with his five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—greatly enhanced.
"The enhancement of the five senses in the physical body is a manifestation of improved life force; the pinnacle of Qi and blood is truly wondrous!"
Chen Lie sensed the change in his level of life and couldn't help but smile.
Four months have passed since my rebirth, and I have finally achieved some success in martial arts.
Upon arriving at the Qi and Blood Detector in the cultivation room, Chen Lie checked his Qi and Blood levels.
As the blue light swept across Chen Lie's body, the blood and qi detector announced the test results.
"Test complete, blood energy level 1007.68 calories."
"My Qi and Blood value has exceeded four digits. Let's try my Strength next."
Arriving at the strength tester again, Chen Lie mustered all his strength, and an unparalleled power erupted instantly.
With a loud "boom," a punch slammed heavily onto the target of the strength testing device.
The strength tester instantly lost its strength reading.
Value: 10381.88 jun (a unit of weight).
At the same time, the pneumatic testing instrument collapsed with a loud crash due to the tremendous force of the impact, and its parts shattered all over the ground.
"Ten times the strength, immense power, at the first extreme level of the Qi and Blood stage, I can be considered to have initially caught up with the martial arts geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire."
The next goal is the second extreme realm of the Qi and Blood stage: Qi and Blood transforming into a rainbow, soaring against the heavens.
The stage of "Qi and Blood Transformation into a Rainbow" also has varying degrees of strength. If one wants to reach the standard of martial arts geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire at this stage, then one must achieve perfection in the "Qi and Blood Like Porridge" stage.
Tough skin and resilient flesh, dragon tendons and dragon bones, impure steel forging, pure yang precious blood—these four steps cannot have the slightest flaw, especially the last step, pure yang precious blood, which determines the strength of the second extreme realm.
Chen Lie had once seen a top genius from the Central Galaxy Empire unleash his full power, transforming his blood and qi into a rainbow. The light of the blood rainbow soared thousands of feet into the sky, turning the entire heavens a blood-red color.
Those who are weak in the second extreme realm of Qi and Blood can only have their Qi and Blood soar to the sky by ten feet. Therefore, there are also differences in strength in the stage of Qi and Blood transforming into a rainbow.
A genius from the Central Galactic Empire made a bold statement to a genius from a remote star region.
If you don't reach the ultimate realm, you'll see me like a frog in a well looking at the bright moon; once you reach the ultimate realm, you'll see me like a mayfly looking at the blue sky.
-
Chen Lie naturally didn't want to be a mayfly gazing at the sky, so he could only look up to the geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire. Every step in martial arts had to be taken one step at a time. He could take it slowly, but he could never fall behind.
Looking at the energy detector that he had smashed with his punch, Chen Lie left the training room and found Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the genius group.
"Deacon Jiang, I broke the qi detector in the training room during testing. Could you go in and take a look?"
Jiang Xiaodong asked in surprise, "The strength testing device is broken? How could that be?"
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaodong immediately followed Chen Lie to the training room, where he saw the energy testing device with its parts broken all over the floor.
"It actually broke! That's strange. These force testing devices are supposed to withstand impacts of up to 15 kilograms. How could it break after only two years?"
After finishing his question, Jiang Xiaodong immediately said, "It's alright, Chen Lie. This strength testing device might not be of very good quality. I'll report it to the Martial Arts Association tomorrow and have the staff replace it."
Chen Lie grunted in agreement and left the cultivation room.
After a full day of cultivation, it was already evening when Chen Lie walked out of the cultivation room.
At the gate of the training ground, Chen Lie met Luo Zhixun, who was walking towards him at the same time.
Luo Zhixun greeted Chen Lie upon seeing him, saying, "What a coincidence, Chen Lie! Are you here to practice martial arts today too?"
"Um."
"Did you finish refining your skin or flesh? I feel your aura has suddenly changed today, as if you've become much sharper."
"Yes, I had a sudden insight today and made a breakthrough in martial arts," Chen Lie said.
"I also have good news. I have completed the two major steps of skin refining and meat refining in the past few days."
My Qi and Blood value has reached 2400 calories, which is not far from the Qi and Blood Limit. Who knows, I might break through to the Qi and Blood Limit by the time we meet again.
This is all thanks to you for deciphering the "Thunderous Tiger and Leopard Body Tempering Technique," which greatly saved me time in body training.
Chen Lie said, "Then congratulations."
"Congratulations! I hope we can both achieve good results in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament." Luo Zhixun smiled slightly.
"I just don't know what the difference is between the extreme state of Qi and Blood and the non-extreme state."
Chen Lie said, "When you touch the extreme realm of Qi and blood, you will experience a sublimation of your life level, which is the greatest gain."
Humans are physically weak and far inferior to other beasts of the same level.
Reaching the pinnacle of Qi and Blood allows one to directly confront beasts of the same level using only physical strength; this is the significance of reaching the pinnacle of Qi and Blood.
Chen Lie didn't say anything after that.
The first level of Qi and Blood Extreme Realm allows a weak human body to be compared to ordinary beasts.
Reaching the second level of the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm allows a person's physical strength to close the gap with that of a beast with a planet-level overlord bloodline.
The third level of Qi and Blood Extreme Realm allows one to cultivate a weak human body to the level of a juvenile celestial beast.
Combined with numerous martial arts techniques and secret methods, this is enough to enable the weak human race to subdue juvenile cosmic beasts with their physical strength alone.
Otherwise, why would the Central Galactic Empire, whose main population is humans, intimidate all other races in the cosmos? It is naturally through force that they subdue them.
The Qi and Blood stage is a complete martial arts system, not just a small stage before entering the next level of martial arts as officially described by Blue Star.
Those who enter the ranks of martial artists with only a few hundred calories of Qi and Blood are simply playing with their martial arts life.
Just like in his previous life, he was in a daze and entered the ranks of martial artists with only two hundred or so units of Qi and Blood. This meant that he had given up on the cultivation of the Qi and Blood stage and did not understand how vast the world of the Qi and Blood stage was.
Of course, the main reason for this is that Earth is a planet with scarce martial arts resources, which can only support a small number of people to cultivate at the Qi and Blood stage.
A hundred-year-old spiritual herb can be worth millions of star coins, and equally precious martial arts treasures can be worth hundreds of millions of star coins. Are these resources really that valuable?
The official consideration of Blue Star is definitely to use expensive martial arts resources to filter out more than 90% of martial arts students and concentrate resources on a small number of exceptionally talented martial arts geniuses.
"Oh? Is that so? It seems you have quite a bit of experience with the Qi and Blood Limit. Wait until I break through to the limit."
"We two must set a time to exchange our experiences," Luo Zhixun said.
Chen Lie nodded and did not refuse.
As Chen Lie walked out of the training ground with Luo Zhixun, he saw that Chen Xingyao was still outside the gate.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Chen Xingyao immediately went up to him: "Brother!"
Upon seeing Chen Xingyao, Luo Zhi asked in confusion, "Chen Lie, is this your sister?"
Chen Lie hummed in agreement and asked Chen Xingyao, "Why didn't you?"
"I want to wait for you to go home together!"
Chen Lie glanced at the time, knowing that his sister had been waiting outside for at least four hours. He didn't say anything, but simply said, "Okay, let's go back then."
Chen Xingyao nodded: "Mm!"
Luo Zhixun then said, "I came by airship, let me give you a ride?"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"It's only been ten minutes!"
As Luo Zhixun spoke, she led Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao onto a white airship parked outside the training ground.
After inviting Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao onto the airship, Luo Zhixun activated the airship's autopilot function and flew towards Chen Lie's home.
After the airship took off, Luo Zhixun took the initiative to greet Chen Xingyao: "Hello, Chen Lie's sister, I am Luo Zhixun. Like your brother, I am a member of the Genius Group."
"Hello, my name is Chen Xingyao."
Luo Zhixun nodded and started chatting with Chen Xingyao.
Shortly after, the airship landed outside Chen Lie's house.
Luo Zhixun disembarked from the boat and saw Chen Lie and his sister off.
Upon arriving at Chen Lie's house, Chen Xingyao invited the servant, "Sister Luo, would you like to come in and sit for a while, have a glass of water, before you leave?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhixun glanced at Chen Lie, and seeing that Chen Lie showed no intention of keeping her, she said, "Isn't it alright?"
"It's alright, we're at our doorstep, come on, let's go inside."
"Well—okay."
Luo Zhixun nodded.
As the daughter of a provincial governor, her vision and knowledge far surpassed those of ordinary people her age.
She understood Chen Lie's family background. In her opinion, it was no easy feat for a young man from an ordinary, wealthy family like Chen Lie to have achieved this level of success as a martial arts student, joining the provincial youth genius team, being recognized as a grandmaster seed, and defeating Lu Qingyun, who came from a powerful and wealthy family.
This difficulty is precisely what makes Chen Lie's unparalleled talent as a martial arts servant truly stand out.
Not to mention that Chen Lie is also a mind master.
Although Luo Zhixun initially had no ulterior motives in her interactions with Chen Lie, now she genuinely wants to get to know this martial arts prodigy from humble beginnings better.
Having such a close friend will only benefit her future studies at Starry Sky University.
