Chapter 3, Rejuvenation and Blood Purification

In that instant, Yun Hong became completely oblivious to both himself and his surroundings

He could only ponder by himself and consult some books and stories in the martial arts academy, hoping to find clues, but unfortunately, he had no success.

Yun Hong did not dare to speak of it to others

At least, with my current strength, entering the county office is not a big problem

Bang bang

Ah!

He knows that he has been desperately seeking a breakthrough opportunity for several months

Suddenly

Hulun

With fists that strike like arrows and a momentum akin to galloping horses, the killing intent is palpable. His martial arts mastery, akin to the peak of the Cloud Flood Transformation, is unmistakably displayed. Even a casual move from him, when it lands on an ordinary person, is sufficient to shatter bones and cause them to spit blood

Both my brother and sister-in-law were frightened, thinking that Yun Hong had some heart issue

Call

The bones and muscles resonate in unison, breath suddenly arises, and the meridians connect naturally. Yun Hong's heart was greatly shaken

This realm is also known as the Sevenfold 'Ningmai'.

This punch, this step, this kick

Externally train the muscles and bones, internally cultivate one's breath

The transition from six layers to seven layers represents a qualitative change

Only by directing one's breath into the internal organs can one strengthen them and truly transform towards an extraordinary realm. Otherwise, no matter how strong the muscles and bones are trained, one can never be considered a true martial artist

Call

Weapons are an extension of fists and feet, yet they are sharper than either. With the aid of weapons, we can more easily sever the heads of monsters and more swiftly cut through their hides.

Hulun

The "Body Forging Fist Method" is suitable for beginners in martial arts to establish a solid foundation, while "Water Swimming Dragon" and "Star Moon Distant" are designed to exercise the entire body's tendons, bones, and muscles, making them appropriate for martial artists in the stage of muscle and meridian conditioning

Wow wow wow

Yun Hong said: "What is the reason? Although I am still at the peak of the sixth level, after several consecutive anomalies, my physical quality is probably no better than that of an ordinary Meridian Condensation martial artist, only my endurance in prolonged battles is lacking"

The howling grew increasingly intense

The power of the fist is formidable yet difficult to sustain, like a fierce horse but lacking the might of a tiger

His heart suddenly trembled, as if something were about to burst forth from within it

Hot water is provided around the clock to every disciple at the Hall of Fierce Fire

The second cardiac tremor, similar to today, occurred three months ago when Yun Hong truly reached the pinnacle of the sixth level of body tempering, during the practice of swordsmanship, when he found the breath needed to break through to the Condensation of Meridians.

It was not until the next day that Yun Hong finally woke up

Although Liu Ming regards Yun Hong as a rival, Yun Hong has never considered anyone as a competitor. In his eyes, the only opponent is himself. He only wishes to successfully gain admission to the county academy, and beyond that, he desires nothing else

Call

"Here we go again?" In an instant, Yun Hong felt a sharp pain in his chest, as the breath that had originally connected his muscles and organs was suddenly dispersed by the jolt of his heart.

The swordsmanship is swift and elusive like lightning, leaving only traces of afterimages.

The foul blood expelled from my body is clearly what is referred to in the martial classics as the washing of the marrow and the changing of the blood. This is what allows my physical quality to continuously soar, while also enabling me to digest food at an extremely fast rate, far surpassing that of ordinary people. Yun Hong pondered: "The stronger the physical body, the more robust the foundation of martial arts, which is naturally a good thing. However, each time it happens, it coincides with my impending breakthrough, which is indeed strange."

However, in the struggle between life and death, mere fists are not enough. Humanity's ability to contend with demonic beasts, and even for our human race to dominate the demonic race and become the sovereign of the five domains of the world, is certainly not solely reliant on physical strength. If we were to consider only physicality, demonic beasts are far stronger than humans.

Yun Hong did not think much about it either

In the first three moves, Yun Hong felt his entire body surging with vital energy, his spirit fully mobilized, without the slightest hesitation, he executed the other techniques of "Water Dragon Dance".

... ...

The peak of Yi Jin, having refined the entire body's vital energy and blood to an extremely high level, yet at this stage, no matter how one practices, it merely hovers on the surface of the muscles and bones, without penetrating into the marrow, and certainly does not connect with the meridians

The impurities in the blood throughout the body seem to be refined along with this breath, gradually being expelled to the surface of the skin.

One punch followed another, and suddenly, Yun Hong felt a surge of energy within him, flowing along his own strength, constantly roaming and rolling inside, exerting pressure on all the muscles and bones of his body

Today, it is once again like this

Immediately, Yun Hong detected a faint odor; his body was covered in a layer of foul-smelling dirt and blood. He was not surprised and went directly to the bathing area on the other side of the room to take a hot shower

With a roar, Yun Hong's figure suddenly halted, his feet rooted to the ground like a great tree, as if he intended to drive himself deep into the earth, while simultaneously emitting a sound from his mouth akin to a tiger's roar.

Thus, he was able to enter the Hall of Fiery Flames and defeat three disciples in succession, making a remarkable debut and gaining fame throughout the Martial Academy

It is as if, after enduring countless hardships, one is about to reach the summit of the mountain, only to slip once again; how distressing this is

Finally, the wait is over

Yun Hong could no longer bear the pain, collapsing to the ground, completely curling up into a ball. As time passed, even his consciousness began to blur.

However, during the first heart tremor, I fainted from the pain and only regained consciousness the next day. The second time, I recovered in half an hour, and this time I was able to maintain my mental clarity... After one or two more instances, even if I encounter this situation again, I should be able to withstand this pain and directly channel my breath into my internal organs.

However, Yun Hong could feel that his meridians had not been completely opened, still remaining at the peak of the sixth level

Accompanied by a howling sound, Yun Hong's entire body trembled, beginning to use this sound to exercise his internal organs, with his pores suddenly opening wide, allowing a small amount of impure blood to continuously discharge through these pores

The swordsmanship he practices is the swift sword technique

This is a set of martial arts known as "Water Dragon", which is one of the three refined body boxing techniques developed over thousands of years by the ancestors of humanity through rigorous training, continuous exploration, and the summarization of experiences

The first heart tremor was his opportunity, allowing him to enter the Hall of Flames in one fell swoop

Yun Hong was not particularly anxious; he was only fifteen years old and would not reach the peak of his physical abilities for another two to three years. As long as his strength continued to improve, that was sufficient for now

Washed

Upon arriving at the martial arts hall, Senior Brother Xie, who had previously been practicing sword techniques in the training hall, had already departed

Return to one's own room

However, at the moment of the breakthrough, he was similarly interrupted by a sudden tremor of the heart, and the piercing pain nearly caused Yun Hong to faint, causing his breath to naturally dissipate

Yun Hong slowly stood up, his voice hoarse, yet he let out a long sigh: "Finally, I have made it through again"

That heart tremor expelled a significant amount of impurities and dirty blood from within the body. When Yun Hong examined himself, he was astonished to find that he had directly advanced from the fifth level of body tempering to the sixth level, and he could be considered at the peak even within the sixth level of body tempering

This matter

Only by causing the muscles and bones to resonate, utilizing a single breath to open the meridians within the body, and shaking the lungs with the sound of 'thunder', can one drive the energy deep into the marrow, exercising the five internal organs and six hollow organs, thus elevating martial arts cultivation to a new realm

Three Fists of Martial Arts

A sudden change in his body caused Yun Hong to rest for more than half an hour; he no longer practiced his boxing but instead took down the long sword hanging on the wall, fastening it around his waist as he walked out of the room. The space in the martial arts hall was too small and not suitable for practicing sword techniques

The vibrations of the heart had just ceased, and Yun Hong was covered in filthy blood and sweat; the filthy blood had been expelled from his body, but most of the sweat was a result of pain

Begin practicing swordsmanship on your own

It is necessary to rely on weapons

"Physical training is fundamental to martial arts; only by developing a strong physique can one become a powerful martial artist." Yun Hong was very clear about this in his heart

Three times, each time as such

At that time, Yun Hong was still at the fifth level of body tempering. One day, while practicing martial arts at home and becoming quite enthusiastic, he suddenly experienced a heart tremor, and then he fainted completely from the pain.

Breakthrough failed

half a sound

This is the effect of body tempering

Yun Hong let out a low roar, his footsteps swift as the wind, resembling a fierce tiger. In his mind, he envisioned the scene of a dragon soaring, his body like a swimming dragon, his spirit akin to a fierce tiger, as the energy within him finally circulated to his internal organs

Yun Hong's sword became increasingly swift, each strike following the last, like the rising wind, as if accompanied by dragons and tigers

Yun Hong felt an unparalleled sense of refreshment

My physical strength and bone power have significantly improved compared to before. Yun Hong felt that his heartbeat seemed to have become much stronger, pondering: But what exactly is going on with my heart and body

Dragons soaring and tigers roaring

The Sevenfold Condensed Pulse Warrior, with the meridians of the physical body unblocked, exercises the internal organs through the thunderous sound of muscles and bones, continuously expelling impurities from the body. Both strength and speed are completely superior to those of the Sixfold level.

Upon waking up, he discovered that his entire body was covered in filthy blood and dirt. Although his body remained at the peak of the Sixth Layer of Body Refinement, his muscle and bone strength had inexplicably increased significantly once again

The first appearance was six months ago

The sudden and strange throbbing pain in my heart has occurred for the third time

It hurts too much

The violent pounding of the heart showed no signs of abating, as if a heavy hammer were incessantly striking. With each tremor, a piercing pain surged through, causing Yun Hong's hands and feet to involuntarily curl up in convulsions
