Chapter 24

Lu Zhangsheng focused his gaze on the plus sign behind the Iron Cloth Shirt.

The plus sign had completely turned green.

Representing that it could be improved again.

"Add points."

He didn't hesitate and clicked with his thought.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, Lu Zhangsheng felt the Qi and Blood in his body surging crazily, as if evening drums and morning bells were beating in his ears.

His whole body began to expand rapidly, the bronze-colored luster flickering slightly, also carrying a strand of pale gold.

As time passed, the gold was still expanding rapidly.

【After you practiced diligently for three years, you finally practiced the Iron Cloth Shirt to the point where it could not be improved further.】

【You still didn't give up, trying to innovate and find a new way out...】

【You practiced in the three nines of winter and the three furies of summer, not stopping for ten years, and finally found a trace of new insight...】

【After you practiced for another three years, that strand of insight gradually grew and turned into a rolling torrent...】

【After practicing for thirty years, you finally broke through the perfection of the Iron Cloth Shirt and reached the Transcendent Realm...】

……

……

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, a strand of sharp light flashing through.

He clenched his fists, and an incomparably powerful force gushed out, as if one punch could kill a fierce tiger.

After this breakthrough, his own strength had already reached about 8,000 jin.

Compared to before the breakthrough, it was more than twice as strong.

And he also discovered that he hadn't reached the limit yet, and his strength could continue to grow, which was very terrifying.

You know, ordinary Skin Refining perfection was at most 2,000-plus jin of giant strength.

His strength was enough to crush any Skin Refining perfection.

Even a Flesh Refining martial artist, just after breaking through, was only about 8,000 jin.

In terms of strength, he was on par with himself.

Coupled with his own perfect-level blade technique and secret art, his strength was not a bit weaker than ordinary Flesh Refining experts.

In just a few months, Lu Zhangsheng had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He carefully examined his own skin membrane.

He saw the entire skin membrane as if it had merged into one, emitting a faint golden light, very magical.

He took out a standard long blade of the Demon-Suppressing Division and pinched the blade edge forcefully.

"Click, click..."

The blade edge was directly pinched into a curled shape, and his palm didn't feel any pain. He spread his palm to look, and it was actually unscathed.

"Such strong defense."

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was shocked.

This kind of defense was several times stronger than the Bronze Skin Realm, simply incomparable.

Not only that, he also felt some magical changes in himself.

The entire skin membrane was like a whole, wrapping him firmly inside without any flaws.

In the past, before the breakthrough, although Lu Zhangsheng relied on the attribute panel to forcibly practice all the skin membranes of his whole body to Bronze Skin, he always felt a trace of barrier.

That was that the skin membranes were not connected into a whole, and there were many flaws.

After this breakthrough, these flaws all disappeared.

It was as if the skin membrane of the whole body had been unified and regrown, very magical.

"Wushou Body?"

At this moment, Lu Zhangsheng suddenly felt inspired and this thought popped up.

After this skin membrane had no flaws, it would lock his own essence and greatly reduce consumption.

It was also extremely beneficial for future martial arts practice.

He guessed that this path was the strongest path for martial artists.

Even the plus sign on the system panel had become gray, representing that he had reached the limit of Skin Refining.

There was no martial artist in the entire Changping County who could reach this Skin Refining realm.

"Host broke through to an unknown realm. Do you want to name it?"

At this time, a prompt sounded again.

Lu Zhangsheng thought for a while and slowly spat out two words.

"Wushou."

"New realm recording..."

A moment later, Lu Zhangsheng opened the panel to check his own changes.

Host: Lu Zhangsheng.

Age: 20 【120 years】.

Realm: Skin Refining 【Wushou】 (Cannot be improved).

Martial Arts: Iron Cloth Shirt 【Transcendent】, Iron Leg Skill 【Transcendent】, Iron Arm Skill 【Transcendent】...

Skills: Five Tigers Severing Gate Blade 【Perfected】, Blood Burning Secret Art 【Perfected】...

Equipment: Slaughtering Pig Blade 【Treasure Weapon】 (Blue). Status: Good.

Bound Exotic Beast: Pangolin King 【Red】.

Source Energy Points: 8. Remark: Host's Iron Cloth Shirt has surpassed the founder of the technique and reached an unprecedented height. The technique has reached its upper limit and cannot be improved again. Do you want to start fusion evolution? "No."

Lu Zhangsheng looked at the fusion button being gray and naturally denied it immediately.

The Source Energy Points he had left were not enough to start fusion deduction.

According to the panel, his Iron Cloth Shirt had surpassed the founder and walked out a new path.

This was also the reason for his soaring strength.

He vaguely had some insights.

And it also brought along other techniques, which automatically broke through to Transcendent, and the whole skin membrane merged into one, so naturally, there was no need to break through each one.

Not only that, he discovered that his own lifespan had also been greatly enhanced, reaching a shocking 120 years.

This was probably the limit lifespan that an ordinary mortal could reach.

Even if he broke through to Flesh Refining and Bone Forging again, it wouldn't increase.

After the entire skin membrane merged into one, external filth could not invade the body, so naturally, he wouldn't get sick, and he could easily live to the limit of a mortal.

And he felt that his own peak period could be maintained for a long time, and there would be no risk of Qi and Blood decline before the age of 100.

This completely surpassed other martial artists; this was one of the benefits of the Wushou Realm.

The most perfect skin membrane brings the strongest foundation.

Lu Zhangsheng clearly sensed for the first time that he had the capital to impact the peak of the martial path.

Next, he needed a large number of Source Energy Points to deduce a new technique for the Iron Cloth Shirt to break through to Flesh Refining.

"It seems I still need to explore the Cangyun Mountain Range well."

Lu Zhangsheng secretly set the next plan.

Just as he was thinking, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

A man dressed as a green-clothed servant walked over quickly, holding a black wooden box in his hand.

The man had a thin figure, and a pair of hooked noses were quite conspicuous.

"May I ask if you are Officer Lu?"

The man walked up to Lu Zhangsheng, bowed, and was full of respect.

"I am Lu Zhangsheng."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled faintly.

"This item is this month's monthly salary..."

The hooked-nose man held the wooden box high and handed it to Lu Zhangsheng.

"Thank you."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled and took the wooden box.

The Demon-Suppressing Division's salary for this month had finally arrived.

After the man delivered the things, he immediately walked out of the courtyard.

After the other party walked far away, Lu Zhangsheng immediately opened the wooden box to look.

He saw three black objects lying quietly in the wooden box, emitting a fragrance.

Lu Zhangsheng guessed that these were probably refined from some medicinal herbs, used to make medicinal baths to assist martial artists in practice.

Being able to get three portions as a Grade C apprentice, presumably those Grade A ones would have more resources.

After joining the Demon-Suppressing Division for the first time, martial artists would be divided into three grades according to the cauldron-lifting general.

He only knew this after joining the Demon-Suppressing Division.

Lu Zhangsheng couldn't wait to try the effect of this item.

An hour later, he burned a large vat of water and directly took out a black ball and put it into the water.

The black ball melted rapidly in the water.

Soon, the entire water vat turned into a piece of pitch-black and translucent, with heat rising on it.

"Plop..."

Lu Zhangsheng took off his clothes and jumped in.

The boiling water didn't make him feel the slightest pain.

With this skin membrane strength, even ordinary knives and weapons were difficult to cut, so naturally, he wasn't afraid of this bit of heat.

Taking advantage of the medicinal effect, he began to absorb it rapidly.

Before long, the water in the vat around him gradually became lighter.

"Just this?"

After Lu Zhangsheng absorbed all the medicinal effects, he was stunned.

This effect was extremely weak; one portion of medicinal bath didn't even increase a trace of strength.

This might also be the reason why his realm was too high.

However, ordinary Demon-Suppressing Division martial artists mostly used these things, and this was already a good thing that outsiders dreamed of.

He didn't expect the effect to be so poor.

Compared with his own Attribute Modifier, it wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.

"It seems these things are useless to me."

Lu Zhangsheng thought inwardly.

Three portions a month; it would be a pity to leave them idle in vain.

Selling them for silver was even more impossible. Firstly, he wasn't short of money for the time being, and these things couldn't be sold for a high price; secondly, it was easy to be investigated.

If he didn't use the medicinal bath and still made rapid progress, it would be too eye-catching.
