Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Blood Qi Breakthrough

The Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique is different from other ordinary Bone Tempering Techniques.

The human body has a total of 206 bones, and ordinary Bone Tempering Techniques, like the Meridian Opening Technique, require selecting the part to temper first, either starting from the hands and feet or from the trunk.

Anyway, it’s one bone after another, gradually progressing.

However, the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique involves training all 206 bones of the body simultaneously.

As long as you can complete a full set of postures, all the bones in your body will be tempered, making them more resilient and able to contain more Blood Qi.

Of course.

According to the book, an ordinary person’s Blood Qi can only complete two or three postures before needing to wait for Blood Qi to recover before continuing cultivation.

Thus, practicing it once typically takes about a month.

Baiyu closed his eyes tightly, sequentially executing various postures according to the first volume of the Extreme Demon Tempering Technique.

When he completed over twenty movements, a mesmerizing sound entered his ears.

The sound was faint, yet it lingered at his ears, refusing to dissipate.

The content of the sound was unclear.

Baiyu dared not listen carefully to these contents, lest something goes wrong, leading to a mutation for which he would have no tears to shed.

Earplugs had a limited effect.

But primarily, it relied on sheer willpower.

Now he finally understood why the book advised against cultivation for those without strong resolve: this Bone Tempering Technique could impact one’s Pollution Level.

Those without strong resolve might end up losing themselves halfway through the postures.

Baiyu steadied his mind and continued onward.

His Blood Qi was rapidly depleting, but the terrifying Recovery Power boosted by the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill replenished his Blood Qi almost in a few breaths, requiring no pause for recovery.

Halfway through the practice.

He felt someone dancing before his eyes, their form bizarre, and their dance even more peculiar, certainly not human.

But since his eyes were closed.

These influences were not significant for Baiyu.

Two-thirds through the cultivation, he only felt an icy hand clutching his ankle, with some peculiar creatures touching him, waves of cold continuously infiltrating his heart.

This was a massive test of psychological resilience.

Baiyu closed his eyes, detached and unperturbed, and began continuing the cultivation postures of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique.

Finally.

One hour later.

All 108 postures were completed.

His entire body skin was hot and red, drenched in sweat, and he hurriedly lifted the black cloth from his eyes.

There was nothing there.

The sensations during cultivation were likely hallucinations.

Just as he secretly sighed in relief, his peripheral vision noticed a distinct indentation on the soft cushion chair beside him.

Someone had sat there!

But.

This was the cultivation room in the villa.

Erin wouldn’t come in, leaving him alone.

"The mysterious influence affected reality."

Baiyu’s expression was somewhat troubled; back in the library, when he forcibly read the mysterious book, a similar situation had occurred.

At that time, Tang Xiaoyu was present.

Unexpectedly, this Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique was so uncanny, with various anomalies during cultivation, and its mysterious manifestations could affect the real world.

However, having completed one round of cultivation, its effects were pronounced.

"Blood Qi at 999 calorie points!"

Baiyu felt the swelling of Blood Qi within, signifying he had reached the peak of Tier Nine Martial Artist.

One more step forward.

And he would truly become a Tier Eight Martial Artist.

"I practice the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique once in just one hour, yet achieve progress equivalent to a month’s practice for others. Such a large increase in Blood Qi is also normal."

Baiyu’s Blood Qi had skyrocketed to a level his body was almost unable to bear.

The next step is to transform Blood Qi.

Converting gaseous Blood Qi to liquid; producing a single drop marks entering the Tier Eight Martial Artist level.

The cultivation of a Tier Eight Martial Artist involves exploring Martial Intent and refining Blood Qi.

To break through the 999-calorie limit, one must refine Blood Qi into a liquid state.

The human body has limits and cannot contain Blood Qi indefinitely. Those martial artists with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of calorie points continue refining Blood Qi to reach such enormous levels.

Ordinary Bone Tempering Techniques often come with methods for refining Blood Qi.

Because Bone Tempering is the step from Tier Nine to Tier Eight.

The methods of transforming Blood Qi are similar.

One hour later.

Baiyu saw in his lower abdomen, within the Blood and Qi Control Center, a crimson drop of liquid formally coalesced.

The bursting sensation throughout his body swiftly disappeared.

"The book states that refining Blood Qi into a liquid at least requires half a month... could it be that I’m a peerless martial genius?" Baiyu wondered as he touched his head.

Regardless.

Breaking through is always beneficial.

He then started converting all his Blood Qi into a liquid state bit by bit, while absorbing Spiritual Qi from the air during breathing, further refining Blood Qi.

Then he resumed practicing the 108 postures of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique.

Three days later.

Bam!

After cultivation, Baiyu struck a testing device with full force.

calorie points of Blood Qi!

Officially exceeding the Tier Nine Martial Artist’s limit, becoming a qualified Tier Eight Martial Artist.

"Phew, a Tier Eight Martial Artist continuously compresses their Blood Qi, all condensed as liquid, filling the entire Blood and Qi Control Center." Baiyu, feeling the new power within, had a clear sense of direction: "Martial Intent is also essential for a Tier Eight Martial Artist to condense.

It’s just that I’ve already mastered the use of Martial Intent; next involves cultivating True Martial Intent."

Martial Intent can take many forms.

Sword Intent, Sword Intent, Fist Intent, etc.

The Great Ape King Fist’s Martial Intent, in essence, is a kind of Fist Intent.

But True Martial Intent is singular.

It’s cultivated based on the visualization diagram of one’s Core Technique.

And my visualization diagram... is a bottle of cola.

"Never mind the Martial Intent for now, the expenses for this recent stretch of cultivation have left me a bit financially stretched, with savings diminishing; I wonder how the company’s certifications are progressing?"

Baiyu began to feel concerned about his finances.

He had thoroughly mastered the first volume of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique, with all 108 postures expertly executed, but preparing for the second volume required materials worth millions.

This Spirit Technique.

If it weren’t for its actual effectiveness, Baiyu would suspect that Niu Chongtian had intentionally designed it to trap him.

Moreover.

As his cultivation deepened, the anomalies during cultivation became more severe, so after practicing the first volume, Baiyu halted, intending to observe for a period.

With only two weeks left before the start of school.

Now being an Tier Eight Martial Artist, further advancements seemed unlikely.

Just as he prepared to rest for two days before heading to Wuda for registration.

Erin brought good news from the company, which had been quiet for a while.

A big business opportunity had arrived!
