biggest change lies in age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly changed from 96 years to 120 years, an increase of a full twenty-four years, the largest increase in history!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Artist breaks through to Martial Artist, Secret Blood fuses into True Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he doesn’t know why his True Strength is red, different from the usual white of Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi doesn’t care either, he attributes it to his strong physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Strength, besides fighting against enemies, also has a significant effect on improving physical constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Martial Artist, as long as they are not affected by disease or injury, can almost effortlessly live past a hundred years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the change in the Martial Artist realm is equally astonishing, achieving a double leap from one aperture straight to three apertures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accumulation leads to excellence, nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi glanced at the ’*’ symbol at the upper right corner of the Three Aperture Martial Artist, with a prompt emerging:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing Technique Perfection, actively practicing can increase proficiency by ten points daily, even without practice can provide five points of proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of a Martial Artist’s cultivation declined significantly less than Lou Yi imagined, it only halved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only need two months to completely open the third aperture and touch the threshold of the fourth aperture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi speculated it should be because of the Divine Sense allowing Introspection, making the control over cultivation more exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He operated the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique, the newly generated faint red True Strength rapidly circulated within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continuously absorbed the heat deep inside his body not yet dispersed, devouring various metabolic substances produced by cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While enhancing the vigor itself, it also continuously strengthened the flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the violent strengthening of Secret Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Strength’s enhancement is more like a silent nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hoo!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi punched forward, a mass of visible white air current appeared at the ulna, frantically dispersing in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blew all the dust out of the cave, the stone table and stone stool slightly shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic strength is at forty-five thousand pounds, increased by a full five thousand pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Artist breaking through to Martial Artist, mainly Secret Blood becomes True Strength, the strength does not have qualitative change, increasing by more than ten percent is already commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the breakthrough, Lou Yi arrived at the unattended fields in Zone Wujiu, continuing to study True Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint red vigor swiftly circulated within the body, when it flowed to the legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Swish!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clothes swinging, Lou Yi rose into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was four or five zhang above the ground, stepping upon the void, moving with the wind, indescribably chic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, have strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t see how many Martial Artists he has killed, but for the chic and carefree lightweight skill, he has long desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now successfully experienced it, this feeling is indescribably refreshing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightweight skill paired with Swift Talent, Lou Yi’s movement speed and survival ability rise another notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Strength in his body continued to circulate, the speed getting faster and faster, the eagle in his mind constantly screeched, working with the exertion of True Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain moment, True Strength, like a wild horse breaking loose, rushed to the arm, reached the index finger of the right hand, about to burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s fingertip instantly turned bright red, emitting a dazzling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Swish!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Strength finally broke through the finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pierced through the void, shooting off all the obstructing grass and plants in front, shot outsides unspecified far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Strength Breaking Body, didn’t expect I’d master it now!\" Lou Yi rejoiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously at Wangjiang, so many veteran Martial Artists, only Meng Konghua reached such realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, Lou Yi’s breaking True Strength just now was more powerful than his memory of Meng Konghua’s unleash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should be able to compete with some arts of Qi Cultivation Middle Stage cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chasing Life, finally had a second long-range attack method!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just, the True Strength quantity is still low, five or six times the use sees it bottom out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for True Strength’s manifestation, Lou Yi naturally mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin layer of red qi membrane emerged on the body surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This qi membrane can not only defend against enemy attacks, but also eliminate force, protecting the body from the impact of counter-shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through Martial Artist, Lou Yi’s strength enhanced in all aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More confident in dealing with ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, greatly boosting his sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Cannot be complacent, let’s cultivate to Martial Artist’s peak first.’ Lou Yi thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world is too dangerous, Qi Refining is nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator can be considered a master, not to mention the legendary Golden Core Masters virtually only existing in tales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through Martial Artist, Lou Yi prepared to change his domicile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Packed up life supplies of recent days and sect-distributed items into a large bundle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually greeted You Qingyi and took Lou Er, directly heading to the cave at the mountaintop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he didn’t make any concealment, soon got discovered by the grass-biting youth’s subordinates, hostile-faced, stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Lou, you want to change the cave, did you greet me?\" Grass-biting youth said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his tone didn’t fluctuate much, his eyes emitted chilling fierceness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identity background of grass-biting youth, Lou Yi has figured out in recent days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name is Su Pei, been in the Corpse-Driving Sect for more than ten years, cultivation already broke through Qi Cultivation Middle Stage, he is an Inner Sect Disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uncle is even a steward in the Corpse-Driving Sect Task Hall, though not as high as an Elder, holds great real power, generally not provoked easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators mostly not residing on Disciple Peak, without interest entanglement with him, won’t generate conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, formed the default pattern of high-allocation control of all caves on Disciple Peak by him alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is only an unwritten rule, not publicly talked about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Lou Yi must be that rule breaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All caves on Disciple Peak, are sect property, everyone can reside why inform you?\" Lou Yi said justifiably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Seeing Lou Yi having strong confidence, seeming not to take him into account, Su Pei the grass-biting youth became somewhat perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his little followers wouldn’t think much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut that cursed mouth!\" A hot-tempered horse-faced youth immediately swore, \"Who doesn’t know the caves on the mountain, all cleaned tirelessly by Brother Su and us, otherwise habitable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You come here to take advantage, what audacious nerve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foul mouth, slap.\" Lou Yi frowned, body instantly vanished from original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None present saw his movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heard a ’slap’ sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse-faced youth was slapped flying, heavily falling to the ground, right side cheek visibly swelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, he really hit him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dare to strike Su Pei’s group, he earns respect as a man. Just a pity soon will be vertically in, horizontally out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such speed, has he practiced martial arts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the use of martial arts, ton correct, Su Pei and a few’s Lifebound Corpse, the realm is already high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict between Lou Yi and Su Pei’s group happened without any concealment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly attracted other disciples on Disciple Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.888Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","48ffd92cd3c38eed919fd6becf75a99385b7f6521bd113df0022701880f18a75","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-289","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-287",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
