Chapter 113: Chapter 90: Welcome the Saint Heir

"Once you achieve mastery... rival me?"

Zhou Yuan’s expression turned serious. This indeed was the supreme secret martial art.

In the realm of body refinement, martial artists loved to use animals as benchmarks: the strength of an ox, the strength of a tiger, the strength of an elephant...

And among these benchmark animals, the dragon was undoubtedly the highest.

As a creature at the top of the food chain in the extraordinary world, a dragon naturally possessed a formidable physical body. Even a newly born dragon could easily kill a fierce tiger or a giant elephant.

The dragon was the epitome of strength.

And a True Dragon was an even rarer and more powerful existence compared to ordinary dragons.

If the "True Dragon Body" had the same effects as Chen Guangxi described, the value of this cultivation technique would be far more than thirty million. Even at a price of three billion, countless people would flock to learn it.

Chen Guangxi raised her chin, "Hmm, now you know how awesome it is?"

"Master above, please accept my bow as your disciple." Zhou Yuan clasped his fists and bowed.

"No need for formalities."

Chen Guangxi put on airs, clasping her hands behind her back, looking very old and wise. "No unnecessary formalities, let’s start the first lesson right away.

"Go, give me five hundred push-ups, five hundred sit-ups, five hundred squats, and then run fifty kilometers."

Zhou Yuan looked doubtful. "Don’t fool me; this is just five times the Qiyu training method."

"Contradicting the master, what kind of discipline is that?" Chen Guangxi’s face showed displeasure. "Do as I say."

"Alright then."

Zhou Yuan could only start with the push-ups. Given his current physical condition, completing these exercises wasn’t too much of a problem.

A few hours later.

Zhou Yuan, covered in sweat, stopped the treadmill, finishing his training.

Turning his head, he saw that Chen Guangxi had set up a giant gas stove in the training ground with a huge wooden tub on top, filled two-thirds with an azure liquid and many unnamed herbs floating in it.

Chen Guangxi stood on the platform, continuously stirring with a wooden stick, soon releasing a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

[This was a special medicinal bath meant to significantly strengthen the body after soaking.]

"The temperature is almost right. Get in." Chen Guangxi gestured for Zhou Yuan to jump in, then turned the gas stove to its maximum, making the flames leap up, causing the liquid to boil and bubble.

Zhou Yuan’s eyelid twitched. "It was wrong of me to contradict you earlier, but isn’t this a bit much?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you wait any longer, the medicinal effect will weaken, and you’ll have to pay for new herbs yourself."

Splash!

Zhou Yuan jumped directly into the wooden tub.

Huh? It wasn’t hot?

Zhou Yuan was a bit surprised. It felt like soaking in hot water, warm and comfortable, invigorating his blood and relieving bruises, relaxing his entire body, and washing away fatigue.

"Ah..." He let out a long, comfortable sigh, enjoying it.

Seeing that the conditions were right, Chen Guangxi took out a bottle from her Storage Ring, filled with a brilliant golden liquid that shimmered under the light.

This was her blood.

In the battle against a monstrous beast, she had sustained some injuries and bled a lot. All of it had been collected later.

Dragon blood was precious and shouldn’t be wasted.

She took out a test tube, absorbed a drop of blood from the bottle, and dripped it into the medicinal bath.

The azure liquid instantly turned a dazzling gold. Zhou Yuan felt the water temperature rise abruptly, becoming scorching hot.

Countless tiny streams of high-temperature heat entered his body through his pores, spreading to his limbs, bones, and organs, as if they were going to burn and melt his entire body.

"Hold on." Chen Guangxi said calmly, "If you can’t even endure this, you might as well go home and raise pigs."

Zhou Yuan’s face turned red as the energy contained in the medicinal liquid rampaged through his body, causing excruciating pain, as if his cells were about to burst.

He endured the agony for more than ten minutes, and the pot of golden liquid gradually cleared up, with the overwhelming, explosive energy perfectly integrating into every cell.

[Dragon Blood Medicinal Bath absorption complete]

[Strength +3, Agility +3, Constitution +5]

"Phew..."

Zhou Yuan exhaled a mouthful of hot white steam.

It was intense.

"How do you feel?" Chen Guangxi asked.

"I feel full of power, ready to punch the entire world!"

Zhou Yuan jumped out of the tub with a splash, performing a set of military boxing techniques he had learned in middle school to release his excessive energy.

"Alright, now I’ll teach you the basics."

Chen Guangxi put everything back into the Storage Ring and pointed in front of her, "Come here and take a horse stance."

Zhou Yuan walked over, spread his legs, bent his knees, and took a very standard horse stance, steady in posture.

"Stay in that stance and pay attention to my breathing."

Chen Guangxi explained the specific steps of the Breathing Skill while demonstrating it.

[Event detected, generating task...]

[Task Name: Pursuing Knowledge]

[Task Objective: Achieve minor success in "True Dragon Body" within one month]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points *800]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins *3000]

Another task? Not bad, victories piling up.

Zhou Yuan quickly followed suit, imitating the Breathing Skill. After one round, he memorized most of the steps and began trying it on his own, letting Chen Guangxi correct him.

By the third round, Zhou Yuan could accurately perform the Breathing Skill, with only minor adjustments needed.

As he operated the Breathing Skill, Zhou Yuan’s body temperature rose, his cell activity increased, and a surge of heat appeared within his body, flowing everywhere.

"I can feel a heat flow."

"So soon? Not bad, that’s what’s called internal force."
