Chapter 421: Half Poison Flood Dragon, Boneless Transformation

Zhou You was teaching his disciples with great success, but his own fist techniques had not progressed for a long time.

Aside from having more strength and thicker Qi and blood, his realm remained at a standstill: Primary Martial Master.

Although, given his current state, Primary Martial Master was barely sufficient.

However, Zhou You, the master of Daqian Martial Arts Hall, still possessed a burning heart, pursuing upgrades and progress without end.

He still wanted to push forward.

"Profession: Martial Master, Experience Points: 568,907."

To him, Martial Master was not just a realm, but also a profession.

Ever since he broke through to Martial Master and obtained a martial arts hall, the Instruction module had officially opened.

Besides the increased efficiency in teaching disciples, another change that followed was...

"Experience Points +1000."

"Experience Points +800."

"."

After becoming a Martial Master and owning a martial arts hall, even Experience Points could be skimmed.

Any registered Disciple or Apprentice of Daqian Martial Arts Hall who respectfully addressed him as Hall Master or Master had to offer him Experience Points.

Although they lacked a panel and their improvements were not as terrifying as Zhou You's, the accumulation of small amounts resulted in a considerable quantity.

The daily Experience Points Zhou You received had already reached the "ten-thousand" level; having not checked for a while, he had already gained several hundred thousand more.

With so much, how could he spend it all? Let's get to work! His main body did not have much room for immediate improvement, so he would look at his two avatars.

For the second avatar, Moyunzi, he had numerous skills from the Five Blessings Palm and Fist Record, and he upgraded them one by one to the strongest level of a Primary Martial Master.

Skills like the Roaring Line Sound-Killing Blade, Small Wishful Hand, and so on, were all lit up.

Spending nearly twenty thousand, he finally raised this avatar to a state five times stronger than its original owner.

However, sprinting toward Intermediate Martial Master also encountered a slow threshold; the original Yan Ping was only a Primary Martial Master, and the bottleneck had not yet been broken. Now, starting from scratch, there were no shortcuts to take; he still had to rely on his own breakthrough.

If Zhou You had experience, it would be fine; he could draw parallels and specifically overcome the Intermediate Martial Master hurdle for the avatar.

The key was that the main body had not yet broken through, so what could he use to help his avatar? Hmm, the first avatar, Lu Zhigang, was actually the one with the greatest hope for a breakthrough.

Poison Martial Arts took an unconventional path; when encountering suitable potent poisons and techniques, as long as one was not afraid of sacrifice, progress could be described as god-like speed.

The Poison Flood Dragon Saliva was already in hand; what was missing was the efficient utilization of this strange poison.

He had planted a lead with the Medicine King Sect and was waiting for time to brew; it was not yet time to use it.

The remaining path was the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop.

"Hmm!"

Zhou You was lost in thought; the current influx of Experience Points was enough for daily needs, but breaking through the realm bottleneck still required a venture.

The Seven Step Poison Sand Palm originated from the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop; he would definitely have to break into Du Taiyue's territory.

There was no need to save the remaining Experience Points; he would max out the second avatar.

Suddenly, a panel notification rang in his ear: "The main body and avatar have been active separately for over 1000h, meeting the activation conditions."

"Open character panel?"

"Yes!"

"Name: Lu Zhigang (Zhou You).

Qi and blood: 3700.

Lifespan: 112.

Profession: Martial Master, Poison Shaman (not lit up).

Level: Primary Martial Master (Seven Step Poison Sand Palm).

Skills: Seven Step Poison Sand Palm Lv11 (Attributes: Corrosion, Stealth, Zhangduhuaxue).

Technique: Boneless Heart Method Lv11.

Ultimate Moves: Poison Evil Lv4 (Thousand Snake Ten Thousand Scale Robe), Feather Gang Lv2.

Talent: None." The character panel was clearly the avatar's independent panel, which had shrunk significantly compared to the main body.

Other skills, secret arts, and even the Armory were not allocated here; the content was clear at a glance.

There was a line of text below: the skill data on the character panel could be allocated at the discretion of the main panel.

In other words, the number of skills for the avatar character depended entirely on how much Zhou You gave, with the upper limit being his own main body.

This made the panel seem even more fun.

However, the newly added Poison Shaman profession made Zhou You wonder if the origin of poison techniques was related to the Shaman tribe? "Experience Points -11000, Lv11→Lv12."

"Experience Points -12000, Lv12→Lv13."

"Experience Points -13000, Lv13→Lv14."

In one breath, he raised the Seven Step Poison Sand Palm to the Lv15 level; the palm wind and poison evil underwent a change, and the momentum, originally like a snake or python, underwent a subtle transformation and elevation.

This palm technique suddenly underwent a rebirth, leaping in one stroke from the Poison Snake realm to the Half Poison Flood Dragon level.

Of course, to truly unleash the power matching a Half Poison Flood Dragon with the upgraded palm technique, he still needed to supplement the most important link.

This link was also the reason why Zhou You had to go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop.

"The Poison Flood Dragon Saliva is good, but I can't digest it!"

Zhou You dripped one-tenth of the poisonous liquid, slowly refining it while it hovered in his palm; the feeling was like a surging river pouring into his meridians, crazily expanding and swelling, with all sorts of sour, numb, itchy, and painful sensations filling his entire body.

As his palm moved slightly, the poison evil condensed into a Flood Dragon head dripping with poison saliva; just the poisonous light emitted from its gaze could instantly kill hundreds of strong adults on the spot.

The next moment, the Flood Dragon head quickly retracted, gurgling and bursting into a large mass of poison gas, which was absorbed into his body by his palm.

"Hoo!"

Zhou You rubbed his arms, and the feeling of swelling slowly subsided.

The technique has been upgraded, but the level of the Poisonous Miasma cannot sustain the continuous output and attacks of a Poison Flood Dragon level.

He wanted to upgrade the Poisonous Miasma, but the prompt failed; the Experience Points were sufficient, but the reason was...

"The toxin intensity is insufficient; it seems I need to accelerate the absorption process of the Poison Flood Dragon Saliva."

Zhou You sighed and looked at the panel again, feeling that the Level 2 Feather Qi had no room for progress and was redundant to keep.

He now has the Feather-Stepping Sky-Ascending Step, and the defense of this Feather Qi cannot compare to the Primordial Iron Garment, making it as useless as a chicken rib; it would be better to optimize it.

"Experience Points -30,000, Level 2 Feather Qi merged into Poisonous Miasma, Poisonous Miasma Level 4."

"New changes added: Poisonous Miasma Level 4 (Thousand Snake Ten Thousand Scale Garment, Poison Feather Transformation)."

Zhou You's thoughts stirred, and the Poisonous Miasma suddenly rose in wisps of light smoke, drifting and light as if weightless; as it swirled and landed in his palm, it turned into pitch-black, glossy feathers.

The Feather Qi merged into the Poisonous Miasma, and it turned into this? It doesn't look like there's anything extraordinary about it.

Right, there is also the Boneless Heart Method; the internal cultivation method for this fist technique needs to be upgraded.

"Boneless Heart Method Level 11..."

Zhou You didn't think much about it and clicked upgrade directly, with "Experience Points..." constantly ringing in his ears.

While lost in thought about how dangerous the trip to the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop would be and whether there would be any unexpected gains.

Suddenly, he stopped; the number of times he had clicked just now seemed to exceed his estimate—how many levels had he actually upgraded?

Looking at the panel again, he almost thought he had gone blind!

"Boneless Heart Method Level 18, Experience Points 82,006."

It had directly wiped out an order of magnitude of Experience Points; just how much did this Boneless Heart Method cost...

Zhou You was just about to calculate when he suddenly felt some movement deep in his bones; in the bone joints of his entire body, it felt as if ten thousand insects were crawling out, frantically climbing and spreading.

He couldn't help but take two steps forward, then suddenly his legs lost strength and he collapsed to the ground, his lower limbs as soft as a snake.

Impossible, how did I suddenly become paralyzed?

Zhou You subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lower back, and suddenly his arm became as soft as a noodle, *plop*, wrapping around his lower back and circling more than halfway around.

He looked back, and his cervical spine rotated smoothly by one hundred and eighty degrees, his chin pointing at his back.

Ah, this...
