Chapter 51

Over the next few days.

Lu Zhangsheng stayed at home to practice martial arts, and soon mastered the 【Golden Bell Shield】.

Including the two he had exchanged for, he now had several body-tempering techniques in his possession, which was enough for fusion.

Now that everything was ready, all he lacked were Source Energy Points.

He opened his panel to take a look.

Source Energy Points: 15.

These days, almost every morning when he woke up, he could see his resources increasing.

Since returning to the county city, he had already gained ten points.

This feeling was truly wonderful.

Just by lying in bed, he had a steady stream of Source Energy Points coming in.

This was also the reason why the Blazing Fire Ant colony was slowly getting on the right track.

Although he would need more and more resources as their tier increased in the future, he was not panicked in the slightest.

As long as he cultivated the ant army, the entire Shiwan Dashan would become his own resource treasury.

For the next period of time.

Lu Zhangsheng prepared to take a good rest.

With insufficient Source Energy Points on hand, he would not go out; if he encountered a sudden situation, he wouldn't even have enough Source Energy Points to recover his body after activating a secret technique, which would be extremely dangerous.

He had always been cautious, so naturally, he would not act in such a way.

Only going out when he had Source Energy Points on hand was an iron rule he had set for himself.

It just so happened that he had completed a single-person mission and had two months of leave, so he could take a good rest.

Afterwards, after washing up slightly, Lu Zhangsheng walked toward the courtyard, preparing to stretch his muscles and bones.

Just as he stepped into the courtyard.

He saw Fang Qing hanging out laundry.

"In the future, just leave these things to the servants; buy two maidservants."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled.

"Mm..."

She nodded gently.

At this moment, Lu Zhangsheng's heart stirred slightly.

"How about Sister Qing also practices martial arts with us?"

While speaking, he went into the house, found a technique manual, and walked back out.

"This Spirit Ape Fist is very suitable for women to practice..."

He smiled and handed the manual to Fang Qing.

Since he was away on missions for long periods, it would be good for them to practice martial arts and have some self-preservation ability.

"Me? This... isn't very appropriate, is it?"

Fang Qing's expression was very surprised, and she prepared to decline.

As a woman, why would she need to practice martial arts?

But Lu Zhangsheng's next words made her agree completely.

"It is said that when martial arts cultivation reaches a profound level, one can maintain their youth..."

Lu Zhangsheng looked at Fang Qing with a smile.

"I'll practice."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing snatched the manual away, fearing that Lu Zhangsheng would go back on his word.

It was a complete contrast to her previous reaction.

Lu Zhangsheng smiled; sure enough, for women, beauty was an irresistible temptation.

Afterwards, he walked to the center of the courtyard and began to perform the 【Spirit Ape Fist】.

He stood with his feet apart, as if rooted to the ground, and began to throw long punches into the void with his hands circling.

His entire body would also shift and move with the flow of the fist technique, looking very agile.

During his strikes, he would sometimes charge and sometimes leap, just like an agile ape.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Even the air emitted bursts of sonic booms.

The dead leaves on the ground rose with the wind of his fists, which was quite spectacular.

Fang Qing looked at Lu Zhangsheng with horror, her heart full of shock.

She knew Lu Zhangsheng had been practicing martial arts recently, but she didn't expect him to have achieved such success in just a few months.

Even if she didn't understand martial arts, she knew this fist technique had considerable power in his hands.

This made her feel very proud.

She watched his movements intently, firmly memorizing the moves in her heart.

A moment later, Lu Zhangsheng finished the entire set of fist techniques, stood still after retracting his moves, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air that shot several feet into the void without dissipating.

This was a sign that his Flesh Refining had reached a certain level, already slightly affecting the strength of his internal organs.

"How is it? How much did you remember?"

He smiled and walked up to her.

"Let me try."

Fang Qing looked eager to try.

She immediately walked quickly to the center of the courtyard and began to imitate Lu Zhangsheng's movements, throwing punches.

Her delicate fists waved in the void, and her footwork was quite methodical and very agile.

After a short while, Fang Qing finished the set of fist techniques, panting, and said with a full face of smiles: "How was it? Did I not do it very well?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Lu Zhangsheng's mouth twitched slightly.

He had only performed it once, and she was already doing it with style; this memory was simply too strong.

"Mm... you still need to work harder..."

He said with his hands behind his back, pretending to be profound.

Fang Qing was not discouraged upon hearing this and began to practice again.

After just three or four times, she was much more proficient, and it probably wouldn't be long before she could perform the whole set completely.

This left Lu Zhangsheng, who had been watching, slightly shocked; it seemed that some people's talent and memory were innate and could not be learned.

He suspected that if she continued to practice like this, she might really achieve something.

For the next two months, Lu Zhangsheng stayed at home.

Every day, besides studying martial arts, he taught Fang Qing and her younger brother to practice, and the days were very fulfilling.

The exotic beasts were assisting in hatching the Blazing Fire Ants and could not be dispatched on a large scale for the time being.

Fang Tao was also completely crushed by Fang Qing.

In a short period, Fang Qing made rapid progress and entered the martial arts path, while Fang Tao was still wandering outside the door.

Of course, this was also due to the constant supply of meat and medicinal baths.

This day, at night.

In the study.

Lu Zhangsheng stood in the center of the room and opened the panel to check.

Source Energy Points: 60.

Over these days, he had received some resources every few days, which was just enough for his footwork to break through to perfection.

The 【Golden Bell Shield】 and these few body-tempering martial arts had also been mastered by him.

However, he decided to put them aside for now; mainly because he didn't have enough Source Energy Points, so he could only add points to 【Spiral Nine Transformations】 first.

He no longer hesitated and clicked behind 【Spiral Nine Transformations】.

Source Energy Points: -40.

"Hum..."

Bursts of humming sounds came from his mind, as if evening drums and morning bells were striking.

A human figure was rapidly practicing footwork, forming countless afterimages, which was extremely terrifying.

【After years of hard practice, Spiral Nine Transformations has finally reached perfection...】

Skill: 【Spiral Nine Transformations】 (Perfection).

Looking at the changes on the panel, Lu Zhangsheng was quite happy.

He immediately began to test it.

As his body twisted slightly, the entire room was filled with afterimages, as many as nine.

But strangely, not even a sound of wind was heard.

This was also one of the signs of perfection in body technique.

Stepping on snow without leaving a trace, landing without a shadow.

A moment later, Lu Zhangsheng stopped.

The result of the test made him very satisfied; at the Great Completion stage, there were only six afterimages, and the speed was much slower.

He didn't expect such a huge improvement after reaching perfection.

In the future, his personal safety would have one more layer of protection.

Now only the Golden Bell Shield was left; once he deduced it to an advanced level and added it to perfection, his attack, speed, and defense would be directly maxed out, making him an invincible existence in Flesh Refining.

Completely transforming into a six-sided warrior.

As for the Transcendent Realm that followed, that was probably another level.

By then, it would be no problem to go head-to-head with Bone Forging with a Flesh Refining body.

Thinking of this, he became quite expectant.
