Chapter 285: Starting Bone Tempering (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Martial Path Era 2046, March 4th

Cangqiong Martial University, Tenth Academy, Villa Area

Inside the Martial Path Room of a certain villa

The tall and handsome Wan Ming endured the tearing and burning pain on his skin.

"Ah!!"

In the process of roaring in pain, sweat beads continuously slid down his body; he grabbed the towel tightly with both hands and kept trembling.

Two hours later, he had already fallen into a trance state.

"It really hurts!"

Wan Ming had lingering fears; every time he took some potions, it was a torture for himself.

"Hoo!"

He exhaled, and mysterious blue patterns appeared on his skin; it was as if there were countless sounds of flowing water on his body, washing through his body, and the fatigue was slowly dissipating.

"However, I've finally broken through to Fourth Realm Bone Tempering!"

"This is the feeling of the Fourth Realm; it feels completely different. My mastery of 【Flowing Water】 also seems to have reached a higher level."

Wan Ming's body was filled with flowing water and Force vibrations, power surged out, and his mood was pleasant; breaking through to the Fourth Realm was faster than he imagined.

If one had to say the reason, it might be because of Lin Qi, this catfish, which gave everyone a sense of crisis.

So he took out his phone and called someone.

"Beep!"

A screen was projected in front of him, and a pretty face appeared.

This was the face of an expressionless girl; she had a good appearance, but her temperament was cold.

"What is it?"

"Song Qing, I've broken through to Fourth Realm Bone Tempering; you, this fifth place, haven't broken through yet, have you?"

Wan Ming showed off with a smile.

The girl opposite him was Song Qing, who ranked fifth in the Tenth Academy's comprehensive ranking; she had always been pressing on his head, and no matter what, he couldn't surpass her.

Song Qing opposite him said expressionlessly: "Then congratulations to you; unfortunately, I broke through yesterday. Exactly one day faster than you."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, not giving Wan Ming a chance to speak.

"Ah?"

The smile on Wan Ming's face instantly froze; he was unwilling in his heart. It was just one day; if he had known, he would have used the Jade Skin Ointment yesterday.

Suddenly he thought of Lin Qi and immediately sent him a message.

【Wan Ming: Lin Qi, I broke through to the Fourth Realm today; I am the sixth person in the Tenth Academy to break through, and I wanted to share this good news with you.】

【By the way, asking about your progress!】

……

At this time, at the entrance of Villa No. 01, Cangqiong Sixth Academy.

"Buzz!!"

Lin Qi, who had just verified his identity and received the express delivery from the courier, suddenly felt his phone in his pocket vibrate.

Taking it out to look, he saw the message sent by Wan Ming.

His expression was strange; this person Wan Ming felt quite interesting the deeper he interacted with him.

Looking at the message, was Wan Ming showing off to him?

He had to admit that the training speed of the geniuses in the Tenth Academy was indeed fast.

Up to now, six people had already broken through to the Fourth Realm; by April, everyone might have broken through to Fourth Realm Bone Tempering.

Looking at the academy heads like Ao Feng, they might need to wait until May to break through to the Fourth Realm.

Then he simply replied to Wan Ming.

【Lin Qi: Congratulations, but my luck isn't bad either; I've also broken through to the Fourth Realm.】

Opposite him, Wan Ming instantly stood up from where he was, his expression changing drastically.

"Also broke through?"

"Lin Qi actually also broke through to the Fourth Realm?"

"How did he do it?"

Wan Ming panicked a bit; Lin Qi entering the Ninth Place genius felt a crisis, but in his heart, he felt the other party couldn't surpass him.

But now, just like that, abruptly, Lin Qi had caught up.

His whole body trembled, feeling a pressure as heavy as a mountain; suddenly, there was no joy at all.

"Truly a freak!"

"If I don't work hard, I'll really be surpassed by him."

Thinking of this, Wan Ming was stimulated and immediately continued to practice.

……

Inside the Martial Path Room, Lin Qi looked at the message sent by Wan Ming, which was very simple, with only a question mark:

"?"

And then there was no more information; it was obvious he had been stimulated by the news of his breakthrough.

"Based on Wan Ming's information, my current Qi-Blood Value should be able to rank in the top six, possibly in the fifth position."

Lin Qi secretly compared it and discovered that he had improved again; Wan Ming seemed to have been surpassed by him without knowing it.

He put away his phone and set his gaze on the three metal boxes in front of him.

First was the first one, which contained a large amount of miscellaneous training resources.

The second metal box contained five bottles of Spirit-Nourishing Potion, which he put away.

Then he opened the last black metal box, which was the size of a gift box.

"Beep"

After pressing the button on the side, the top of the box opened automatically, revealing the five bottles of potion fixed inside.

They were contained in transparent test tubes with deep green-gray liquid.

This was the potion specifically for Fourth Realm Bone Tempering—Bone-Tempering Liquid.

"Try the effect of the Bone-Tempering Liquid!"

Lin Qi took out a bottle, opened the cap, and drank the gray liquid inside in one gulp.

The Bone-Tempering Liquid tasted average, even a bit bitter; after entering his stomach, it began to take effect.

Waves of heat flowed directly from his stomach, passed through his body organs, and reached his bones.

Then the bones began to heat up; as time passed, every bone felt as if it were being calcined in a small furnace.

In the heat flow, Lin Qi didn't feel pain; instead, it was a strange tingling sensation. Lin Qi felt the changes in his body bones and knew that the Bone-Tempering Liquid had already begun to take effect.

Among them, the most obvious feeling was the bones of his limbs, with a clear sense of heat.

This reminded Lin Qi of the Bone Tempering realm; the human body has a total of 206 bones, divided into three parts: skull, trunk, and limbs.

The number of bones in each part is different, and they are tempered in order, from limb bones to trunk bones, and finally to the skull.

This also represents the three small realms of the Fourth Realm: early stage, middle stage, and late stage.

Once all three parts are tempered, it is the peak, and one can prepare to break through to the Fifth Realm.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi exhaled, felt his limbs heating up, and then began to practice the fist technique, making his body bones and joints move, cooperating with the effect of the Bone-Tempering Liquid.

To maximize the effect.

"Boom, boom!!"

Tendons and bones chimed together, muscles exerted force and channeled power, and the body vibrated, like a tightly running precision instrument.

!

The Force was like the surging water of a majestic river, even comparable to the flow of blood.

Buzz!

Lin Qi felt the Force circulating, especially in the joints; the tingling sensation on his body became stronger, and the Force vibration accelerated the tempering of the bones.

Like a blunt knife on a whetstone, it slowly honed its edge.

This is the feeling!

Lin Qi's fist technique became more and more enjoyable; in the intense tempering, he felt the circulation of Force and continuously deepened his control.

His strength rose steadily.

【You took the Bone-Tempering Liquid, your limb bones were fully tempered, Qi-Blood Value +0.5】

【You threw the Tiger Form Fist, the bone Force vibrated and circulated, accelerating the tempering of the bones, Qi-Blood Value +0.5】

【……, Qi-Blood Value +0.5】

……

One hour later.

"Boom~"

Lin Qi felt the fatigue of his body; for the last time, he exerted force, the tiger claw channeled power into his fingertips and slapped out, a condensed Force blasted out, exploding in the air and setting off a ripple.

【You took the Bone-Tempering Liquid, and in coordination with the Tiger Form Fist, your body bones obtained a large improvement, Qi-Blood Value broke through, Qi-Blood Value +7】

【You practiced the Tiger Form Fist, your mastery of Force reached a higher level, Fist Technique +3%】

【Qi-Blood Value: 105 → 112】

【Fist Technique: Third Stage 55% → Third Stage 58%】

……

Lin Qi retracted his fist, let the surging Qi-Blood in his body calm down, and as his breath relaxed, a sense of fatigue surged into his heart like a tide.

"Hoo~"

Gasping for breath, he looked at the information on the golden panel, especially the Qi-Blood Value which had increased by a full 7 points, making him happy in his heart.

"The first time you take any resource, the body has no resistance, and the effect is the strongest."

"The first time I took the Bone-Tempering Liquid, my Qi-Blood Value actually increased by 7 points in one go, which is higher than I imagined."

Lin Qi looked at his Qi-Blood Value; in just two or three days, his Qi-Blood Value not only broke through 100 but also broke through to 112 in one go.

The speed of progress made him happy.

Looking at the four bottles of Bone-Tempering Liquid on the ground, in half a month, he felt he could impact a Qi-Blood Value of 120.

After entering another world and learning the Intermediate Source Energy Technique, the speed of Qi-Blood Value increase would be even faster.

Thinking of this, he also began to look forward to the trip to another world in half a month.

……

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

Lin Qi returned to calm training, but there was still no news from his teacher Mu Hong.

Lin Qi would occasionally go to audit classes with Jiang Tao, Guanshan, and Wang Qiufeng, listening to Liu Ran's lectures.

Although Liu Ran practiced the blade technique, it still benefited him a lot.

This day, March 15th, one month after school started.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Cangjing Building, Fourth Floor, Liu Ran's office and classroom.

Liu Ran, who had wheat-colored skin and the momentum of a cheetah, waved her Miao blade.

"Hoo hoo~"

The blade wind circled, and the Force raged, allowing the surrounding students to clearly feel the release and circulation of Force.

Until the end, she swung her blade, and a solid blade aura was slashed out, leaving Lin Qi and the others shocked.

"Alright, that's all for today's class."

Liu Ran said this, and everyone prepared to leave.

Then she saw Lin Qi, who was preparing to leave, and subconsciously asked:

"Student Lin Qi, eleven days have passed; have you mastered Force projection?"

As soon as this was said, the students who were preparing to leave also stopped their steps one after another.

Including Ding Danxuan, the sophomore academy head of the Sixth Academy, who also looked over curiously; it had been about 12 days since Lin Qi came to audit the class.

It was about the same time it took her to comprehend Force projection back then.

Jiang Tao couldn't help but speak up on the side:

"Teacher, Brother Qi learned the fusion of Force and Source Energy when he was in the Third Realm."

"As for Force projection, he mastered it long ago!"

After saying it, although the protagonist wasn't him, he felt inexplicably cool in his heart.

Especially after seeing Teacher Liu Ran's surprised expression, he felt even cooler.

"Already mastered it? So fast?"

"Didn't you hear? Lin Qi mastered the fusion of Force and Source Energy in the Third Realm; breaking through to the Fourth Realm and mastering Force projection is just a matter of course."

"Maybe he mastered it in three or four days!"

"This is too exaggerated, truly a freak!"

A sound of gasping in cold air rose in the air.

Ding Danxuan was also exceptionally surprised; mastered the fusion of Force and Source Energy in the Third Realm?

Doesn't that mean he could master Force projection very quickly?

She felt a sense of frustration inexplicably in her heart.

What does her 13.5 days to master "Force projection" count as?

Trash?
