Chapter 2: Eternal Star Body Forging Technique!

This thing should count as a cultivation technique, I don't know if it can be synthesized.

Lu Jing pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.

Anyway, the cost of trial and error is low, the stamina just spent has already recovered.

The book Basic Body Cultivation Study isn't thick, only a few dozen pages, it records some movements for tempering Blood Qi.

Lu Jing tore the book into pages, then directly used the home printer to make a copy.

Afterwards, holding two copies of Basic Body Cultivation Study, he placed them into the synthesis frame.

【Basic Body Cultivation Study *2, synthesis requires spending 20 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

Synthesize!

Sizzle~

The synthesis frame emitted thick smoke, and stamina was drained again by a small amount.

Soon, a completely different book appeared in Lu Jing's hands.

【Synthesis complete, obtained Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique!】

Just looking at the cover, the book was clearly of a higher grade than before, made entirely of cowhide and covered with the marks of time.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Jing opened this Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique.

Rustle!

Before his eyes were dense explanations of body tempering, with thoughtful illustrations of the movements.

This advanced?

Lu Jing instantly became interested and examined it carefully.

Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique is a body-forging method written by the Human Race's Founding Ancestor of the Open Way in the first year of the Martial Way, recording complete movements and cultivation insights.

The current nationwide standardized Basic Body Cultivation Study is precisely a simplification from it; cultivation is much simpler, but the effect is not as good as the original, merely being easy to understand.

One synthesis already gave the Founding Ancestor's insights; what if we synthesize again?

Lu Jing felt a slight stir in his heart, and continued to photocopy Basic Body Cultivation Study.

Fortunately, the A4 paper at home was more than enough.

Sizzle~

Soon, Lu Jing synthesized another three identical copies of Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique.

It cost 60 Colorless Crystal Blocks, and stamina was also drained by about half.

Continue!

Lu Jing placed two copies of Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique into the synthesis frame.

【Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique *2, synthesis requires spending 80 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

Synthesize!

Sizzle~

Internal strength was again drained by about half.

A mist flashed, and a brand-new book full of futuristic feeling appeared.

【Synthesis complete, obtained New Martial Era Body Forging Technique!】

New Martial Era?

Lu Jing, unable to wait, took the New Martial Era Body Forging Technique in hand and examined it closely.

Rather than saying it's a book, it's actually more like a microcomputer.

Its surface constantly rippled with light blue waves, full of technological sense.

Beep~

Lu Jing clicked the button on it.

'New Martial Era newly compiled body technique, welcome to your use!'

The next moment, the New Martial Era Body Forging Technique opened automatically.

One after another, slide-like pages appeared before Lu Jing's eyes, making him widen his eyes.

'New Martial Era... this is actually a book from five hundred years later!'

Lu Jing's body shuddered violently; the synthesis frame actually produced something from the future world!

As he flipped through, Lu Jing's shock grew even greater.

Compared to the body tempering technique he learned at school, the New Martial Era Body Forging Technique is actually simpler.

But it's not a reduction; rather, each movement has been refined, increasing the efficiency of body forging by more than tenfold!

In other words, one who cultivates this New Martial Era Body Forging Technique will have Blood Qi growth ten times that of an ordinary person!

Should we continue...?

Lu Jing swallowed, looking at the ground where a few copies of Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique remained unsynthesized.

Since there's a better body-forging method, why not continue?

Come on, synthesis slot! Let me see your limit!

Thinking this, Lu Jing again picked up the Martial Ancestor Body Forging Technique from the ground and placed it into the synthesis slot.

Soon, another fresh copy of New Martial Era Body Forging Technique was produced.

【New Martial Era Body Forging Technique *2, synthesis requires spending 200 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

At this moment, Lu Jing sat on the stool, taking deep breaths to adjust his condition.

He was waiting for the expended stamina to recover, to ensure absolute safety.

After half an hour, stamina had recovered to eighty percent.

Lu Jing hesitated not at all, and chose to synthesize again.

Suddenly, everything before his eyes went black!

This time, the stamina drawn was several times that of before!

Lu Jing almost collapsed to the ground, faintly hearing a pleasant notification tone in his mind.

【Congratulations!】

【Synthesis Critical Hit, will perform skip-level synthesis! (10% chance)】

Just as the synthesis was about to complete, the synthesis bar sent a new prompt.

Bang!

This time, the synthesis frame did not spew smoke, but burst forth with golden light!

Golden Legend!

【Synthesis complete, obtained the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique: Introductory Chapter!】

"Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique: Introductory Chapter": Created by the combined efforts of all the strong ones of the Star Chronicle Martial Alliance, it is the strongest introductory body-forging technique passed down among humanity!

"Hiss... Is humanity's inheritance the strongest?"

Lu Jing stared fixedly at the USB-drive-sized device in his hand, his expression already somewhat mad.

As he pressed it, the USB drive device burst with light, forming a three-dimensional projection in the open space ahead.

He continued clicking on the projection, browsing the catalog and introduction.

"It says that after humans entered the Star Chronicle Era ten thousand years into the Martial Way, a technological explosion occurred, and the newly created body-forging technique is hundreds of times more efficient than the original!"

"This... means that one practice of mine equals a year of someone else's training?"

Nowadays, there are only two ways to increase Blood Qi.

One is relying on external nourishment.

Two is practicing the movements in Basic Body Cultivation Study.

"Basic Body Cultivation Study" is one copy per person, and besides this there are no other body-forging methods.

Therefore, talent becomes especially important, fundamentally determining a person's Blood Qi increase.

Some people with extraordinary talent can feel their Blood Qi increase after just one day of practicing Basic Body Cultivation Study.

While some people with poor talent need a month to notice any increase.

This is the talent barrier, which no one can cross.

But now, Lu Jing has the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique—one day of practice equals several years for others—how could he not be excited!

To be frank, Lu Jing's talent is just that of an ordinary passerby, below average, lost among the crowd.

Martial Artists are selected one in a hundred miles; at most a few from a class can get into Martial University.

After a while, Lu Jing's stamina gradually recovered, and he directly activated the follow-practice mode of the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique.

In the next moment, the three-dimensional projection shone onto Lu Jing, as if scanning data.

"Scan complete, follow-practice mode activated!"

The projection transformed again, forming a human silhouette.

Looking closely, the projection turned out to be Lu Jing himself, practicing move by move.

Lu Jing understood instantly, stepped forward, merged his whole body into the projection, and learned by following its movements.

"As expected of a product of the future world, this follow-practice cannot possibly go wrong!"
