Chapter 87: Secret Martial Twelfth Stage

Looking at the falling green flames, Qin Jiang raised his hand, and a wisp of green fire landed on his palm.

With a "whoosh" sound, green flames instantly burned on his palm, spreading over his entire body in the blink of an eye.

A burning sensation spread throughout his body, as if he had fallen into magma, and stinging burn sensations came from all over his body.

About a few breaths later, Qin Jiang had completely turned into a man of fire, thick green flames wrapped around his body, and only a figure could be vaguely seen.

I don't know how long it took, the green fire went from outside to inside, drilling into the interior of the body.

At this moment, even Qin Jiang couldn't help but open his mouth, exhaling hot air currents.

However, he also clearly felt that these green flames were circulating in his body according to the trajectory of the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art.

Wherever they passed, the meridians were widened and became tougher, the bones became stronger, and the muscles were refined and became tighter.

"Swish!"

Long Daosheng's figure appeared, and his pupils shrank sharply the moment he saw Qin Jiang.

'Such strong green fire! It's simply comparable to a fourth-stage Secret Martial Artist!'

Raising his hand, streaks of golden light appeared on his palm, and he was about to suppress the green fire on Qin Jiang's body.

But just as he was about to act, the man of fire in front of him suddenly raised his arm to stop him.

"Senior Brother, no need to do anything, I feel very good right now," Qin Jiang's voice came from the green fire.

Long Daosheng was stunned, only then sensing that Qin Jiang's aura at this time was steadily improving, without any signs of disorder.

He widened his eyes, filled with shock; ordinary True Disciples absorbing this green fire source power would be considered good if they could withstand green fire comparable to a first-stage Secret Martial Artist, and second-stage ones were one in ten, let alone fourth-stage?

And that was based on the premise of wearing Fire-Evading Clothes.

But now, Qin Jiang wasn't wearing Fire-Evading Clothes at all! His fingertips subconsciously tapped the outside of his thigh, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

According to the records in the sect, when the Copper Bell Sect was just established, there was no such thing as Fire-Evading Clothes, and all True Disciples' promotion relied on their physical bodies to resist, which also caused the death rate of True Disciples' promotion at that time to be extremely high.

It wasn't until later that a genius predecessor created Fire-Evading Clothes, which reduced the death rate to zero.

But at the same time, the use of Fire-Evading Clothes also reduced the effect of green fire body refining, which also made the quality of subsequent True Disciples uneven, far inferior to before.

And now, an existence who could suppress Secret Martial Artists while still a True Martial Artist had undergone green fire body refining without wearing Fire-Evading Clothes.

He simply couldn't imagine how strong Qin Jiang would become after green fire body refining!

Comparable to a fourth-stage Secret Martial Artist? Or fifth?

He didn't dare to think about the sixth stage; after all, the sixth stage was the existence that had practiced the sixth layer of the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art.

With a realm close to ordinary Secret Martial perfection, he could almost be said to be steadily suppressing everything below the sixth stage.

Time passed second by second, and in Long Daosheng's anxious waiting, the green fire on Qin Jiang finally slowly extinguished.

Slowly opening his eyes, he opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking the green fire that was about to dissipate into his abdomen, which made Long Daosheng opposite him open his mouth.

He really hadn't seen such green fire body refining.

"How does it feel? Were you burned?" he asked hurriedly. Qin Jiang looked at his body; the Black Gold Auspicious Cloud Robe was not damaged in the slightest, which made him feel slightly relieved.

"Great, is this a Secret Martial Artist?"

He raised his hand slightly, and a transparent sphere appeared on his palm; this was the "Palm Heaven and Earth" that Long Qihan used yesterday.

Calling it heaven and earth was an exaggeration; "Palm Cage" was more appropriate.

Clenching his fist slightly, the transparent sphere disappeared.

Feeling the powerful power surging in his body, his strength had increased by at least ten times! Even now, he had the power to protect himself against Long Ye! No wonder the gap between True Martial Artists and Secret Martial Artists was so big; the effect of this green fire body refining was simply too strong!

He looked at the Green Fire Copper Furnace on the mountain peak, his eyes carrying a bit of eagerness.

He just didn't know if he could refine his body a few more times; if he could... "Don't look, only the first time has this effect. Essentially, this green fire body refining actually caused your life form to evolve, and since the evolution is complete, naturally it has no effect."

Long Daosheng looked at Qin Jiang and felt emotional; others experienced green fire body refining and avoided it, but you, actually wanting to come a few more times? Qin Jiang nodded slightly; indeed, after experiencing green fire body refining, his physical body had indeed undergone great changes.

Now, he didn't even need to breathe with his mouth; he only needed to control his pores to open.

Not only that, the Internal Qi in his body was also transformed into a kind of power that was similar to Source Qi but more condensed; at this time, he could clearly feel the Source Qi in the air being slowly absorbed by himself.

Long Daosheng stepped forward, his fingertips lightly touching Qin Jiang's wrist, "Don't move, I'll check if there are any hidden dangers."

Immediately, Qin Jiang felt a wisp of power full of bright aura wandering in his body.

His eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but look at Long Daosheng; he was already a Secret Martial Artist, but he still couldn't see through Long Daosheng in front of him.

Long Ye was also a Secret Martial perfection, and Long Daosheng was the same; was the gap in strength actually so big?

A moment later, Long Daosheng withdrew his hand, the shock in his eyes not yet dissipated.

"Powerful, truly shocking. The source power is vigorous, and even this physical body is so strong! Ordinary fifth-stage Secret Martial Artists are not as good as you!"

Qin Jiang's eyes were puzzled, "What does a fifth-stage Secret Martial Artist mean? Isn't a Secret Martial Artist divided into realms according to the cultivation layers of Secret Martial Arts?"

"Of course, the cultivation of Secret Martial Artists includes two stages. Just as True Martial Arts are divided into ordinary True Martial Arts and high-level True Martial Arts, Secret Martial Arts naturally are too.

The six-layer realm of ordinary Secret Martial Arts and the six-layer realm of high-level Secret Martial Arts are collectively called the Secret Martial Twelfth Stage.

Among them, the sixth stage and the seventh stage are a watershed, and the reason for this gap lies in the fact that high-level Secret Martial Arts, besides cultivating stronger source power, can also practice the Martial Dao True Body.

Simply put, ordinary Secret Martial Arts and high-level Secret Martial Arts both require source artifacts to practice, but ordinary Secret Martial Arts absorb source power; essentially, the source power in your body does not belong to you.

Whereas high-level Secret Martial Arts require refining source power, putting your own exclusive spiritual mark on every bit of your own source power! When you completely control your own source power, you can display the true appearance of a Secret Martial Artist, which is the Martial Dao True Body.

A relatively obvious difference is that ordinary Secret Martial Arts will manifest the true form of the source artifact outside the body, just like the Green Fire Copper Furnace floating above Qihan's head yesterday, which was the manifestation of his source artifact's true form.

While high-level Secret Martial Arts will manifest the characteristics of source power on the flesh, such as the Golden Bell Subduing Demon Fist I practice, which will make the flesh appear transparent and bright gold, the whole body releasing golden light, and when throwing a punch, there will be bell shadows following."

Speaking of this, streaks of golden clouds appeared around Long Daosheng's body, his flesh turned into a semi-transparent appearance, streaks of golden patterns appeared on the body surface, and a pair of eyes became extremely burning, as if they were two suns! He swung his arms casually, leaving golden bell shadows the size of fingernails on the trajectory his arms passed.

Qin Jiang felt the terrifying power released by Long Daosheng, his eyes carrying excitement.

"Can I directly practice high-level True Martial Arts?"
