Chapter 41: Gold-Pointing Art

~8 min read 1,588 words

Too light!

Wang Yu threw the two stone locks onto the nearby ground, pulled his feet back out of the mud, and shook his head.

Ever since he fully awakened the Iron-Eating Crocodile bloodline, although his body size did not undergo any astonishing changes, his strength and endurance were a large chunk stronger than when he was half-awakened. Now, lifting something weighing six or seven hundred jin was like playing. If he entered overclocking mode, his explosive power could increase by more than another fold, and he could easily lift heavy objects weighing over a thousand jin.

Next, Wang Yu walked to the weapon rack, pulled out a sharp wooden sword, and stabbed it fiercely at his own arm.

"Bang."

The wooden sword tip shattered instantly.

He rolled up his sleeves, exposing his entire arm.

Only a white dot was left where the wooden sword had stabbed, and not even the skin had been scratched.

Wang Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

After full awakening, his skin seemed to have become unusually tough. Not to mention wooden knives and swords, even a small iron knife would be quite difficult to cut through.

He felt that compared to his original body on Blue Star, this body was simply a humanoid tyrannosaurus; he could beat up large beasts like elephants and tigers on Blue Star with one hand.

Besides this, after his full awakening this time, his mental power also had a significant increase. Although it was not as exaggerated as the body enhancement, it directly increased the upper limit by a quarter. But these were not all the gains after awakening.

Wang Yu thought of this, a strange look appeared on his face, and he slowly closed his eyes and stood still in place.

"Thump," "Thump."

In the mud in the corner of the courtyard, a black-gray stone the size of an egg began to tremble on its own. As time passed bit by bit, it shook more and more violently.

"Rise."

Wang Yu gave a low shout, opened his eyes, and stared fixedly at the black-gray stone. His pupils vaguely enlarged by a fraction.

"Whoosh."

The black-gray stone suddenly jumped up from the soil, and after pausing in the low air, it slowly floated toward Wang Yu's position.

Blue veins bulged on Wang Yu's forehead, and beads of sweat were vaguely visible on his cheeks, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted bitterly.

"Bang."

The black-gray stone trembled all the way, and half a meter away from Wang Yu, it could no longer be supported and fell to the ground.

Wang Yu sat on the ground, his face full of exhaustion.

After half a year of exploration, he finally determined that the innate ability he gained after awakening was not Copper Skin and Iron Bones or Shi Jia, but the "Gold-Pointing Art," which had a certain sensing ability toward metal ores or metal objects.

"Gold-Pointing Art" is one of the two rare abilities of the Iron-Eating Crocodile. Very few people can awaken it, but just as Master Chongyun said, this ability is very tasteless.

He could only roughly sense metal objects within a hundred-meter radius; for those metal ore deposits that were often buried several miles deep underground, such a small distance was naturally of no practical use.

Wang Yu discovered during his exploration that the sensing ability of the Gold-Pointing Art could also move metal objects at close range out of thin air in reality, very much like the "telekinesis ability" that Western countries on Blue Star once hyped up.

It's just that he can only sense metal objects, the movement distance is only seven or eight meters, and he can only control objects weighing two or three jin. At the same time, it consumes a lot of mental power.

Like the metal ore of that size just now, using the Gold-Pointing Art to perform a short-distance movement exhausted most of his mental power. It is hard to imagine what use it has in actual combat.

With his current physical fitness, for this small movement distance, a casual throw would easily exceed it by more than ten times.

Compared to the Gold-Pointing Art, Wang Yu would rather have awakened the "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" or "Shi Jia" abilities, or even the other rare ability, "Blood Burst."

The first two are clearly solid life-saving abilities, and the latter could also allow him to fight to the death in battle.

Wang Yu thought of this, sighed, and stood up again.

The training of using "Gold-Pointing Art" to control metal objects consumes too much mental power. He had only practiced it a few times since awakening this ability.

He spent more time consuming his mental power on daily Qi breathing.

Relying on his greatly increased divine sense and the assistance of daily Spirit Gathering Liquid, his cultivation of the Yin Water Art had progressed rapidly over the past half year, and he already felt the bottleneck of the second level.

But unfortunately, those few bottles of low-grade Spirit Gathering Liquid and Yin Spirit Qi were used up not long ago, and his cultivation speed dropped a lot immediately. Later, he could only bitterly cultivate dryly.

After Wang Yu moved his hands and feet, he bent down and pressed his hands and feet to the ground at the same time, like a four-legged beast running. It was exactly the Four Styles of Wolf Running.

After cultivating this technique for such a long time, he discovered that the Four Styles of Wolf Running seemed to have a more obvious improvement in body reaction and agility.

This was also the main reason why he could easily dodge and avoid opponent attacks with the Four Styles of Wolf Running in several previous battles.

With his current body strength, the Blood Refining Soup no longer had any effect. On the contrary, the Four Beasts Diagram body-tempering technique could still stably increase his body strength as long as he persisted in daily cultivation.

Additionally, the more than half bottle of Stone Origin Milk gifted by Yin Linglong was indeed a good thing. Every time he finished cultivating the Four Beasts Diagram technique, as long as he drank a little bit, he could immediately recover most of his physical strength and continue cultivating with full health.

If there was an opportunity, he must get more of it; it was too useful for cultivating body-tempering techniques.

The Four Styles of Wolf Running had been practiced by Wang Yu to be extremely proficient. After a while, he finished practicing it once.

He did not rest or re-cultivate the Four Styles of Wolf Running. Instead, he raised his head, pulled in his chest, separated his legs straight, held his hands in a claw shape, and opened his mouth, like a fierce tiger standing up, ready to pounce and eat people.

It was exactly the first style of the Tiger Pounce Diagram!

When half-awakened, he could only barely cultivate the Wolf Running Diagram. Now that he was fully awakened, his body could finally withstand the cultivation of the Four Styles of Tiger Pounce.

At this moment, as soon as he assumed this posture, he felt the blood throughout his body begin to flow rapidly of its own accord. At the same time, the large tendons on his arms began to feel unusually numb and tingling, his ten fingers began to twitch rhythmically on their own, and his heartbeat became fast one moment and slow the next...

Ten minutes later, Wang Yu's skin turned slightly red, and heat waves vaguely radiated from his whole body.

His movements suddenly changed. His body arched backward, and at the same time, his spine swung backward with force like a great spear. His shoulders were shrugged back as much as possible, and his hands were crossed and clasped together...

One hour later.

"Huff," "Huff."

"Huff," "Huff."

Wang Yu lay on the ground in the middle of the courtyard again, panting heavily, his whole body drenched in sweat, and his body surface was vaguely shrouded in a layer of faint white gas, which did not dissipate. After a long while, it slowly dissipated and disappeared.

What exactly is the origin of this Four Beasts Diagram body-tempering technique? Even with his body strength as a bloodline awakener, he could only cultivate to the first eight styles.

As for the Xiong Bao Diagram that followed, he only tried it after entering overclocking, and he retreated in the face of difficulties, grimacing, not to mention the final Ape Roar Diagram.

Wang Yu pondered secretly in his heart.

According to the super-thinking calculation in his synchronization mode, unless his body strength increased by more than three or four times, he could barely complete the cultivation of the Four Styles of Xiong Bao.

But even so, the cultivation effect of the Four Styles of Tiger Pounce was clearly above that of the Wolf Running Diagram, and the enhancement of his wrist and ten-finger strength reached an exaggerated level.

After Wang Yu recovered some physical strength, he raised an arm, looked at his seemingly ordinary palm for a few moments, suddenly turned his five fingers into claws, backhanded them into the nearby ground with force, and then pulled them up.

A blue brick covered in mud was pulled up from the soil, and five fingers were deeply embedded in the brick.

"Bang."

After the five fingers closed, the blue brick exploded from the middle and turned into a pile of debris scattered on the ground. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
