Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 152 Roast
"Showing your bodies to your ancestors is the most sacred virtue..."

"The effect of the ancestral protection varies from person to person..."

"Some dwarves even gained new or improved magical powers..."

"This process is full of burning pain. If you pass out, the shelter will end and someone will escort you away..."

The priest continued to talk about various precautions.

"Okay, now open your eyes and look at the lava waterfall ahead."

Zhou Leng opened his eyes slightly and looked at the fiery red waterfall in front of him.

“Sing with me…”

"The ancestors have come to protect all living beings..."

All the dwarves sang ancient spell songs. Zhou Leng couldn't sing but recited along. Only Zhang Xinglie, who didn't understand the dwarven language, decided to go back and study hard to learn the language.

The chanting lasted for a full ten minutes.

"Welcome the ancestors!"

"Welcome the ancestors!"

All the dwarves bowed, and Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie followed suit.

boom……

The volcano shook slightly, and the lava waterfall rolled violently. The lava waves were surging, dazzling, and the heat waves were rolling, with a terrifying momentum.

The entire lava hall will be flooded by magma.

Powerful heat came from all directions, and everyone cried out in pain.

Zhou Leng was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered his experience at the Gate of Purgatory.

It seems that the training at the Gate of Purgatory has made me completely insensitive to this level of minor pain.

Slowly, the heat grew stronger.

One minute, two minutes...

ten minutes.

The skin of the weakest dwarves was covered with dense burns and blisters, which looked horrible and weird.

"The effect of the iron skin has been suppressed a little."

"After all, it is the power of our ancestors..."

Eleven minutes.

"I can't do it anymore..." A dwarf screamed and fell to the ground.

There was a flash of white light, and the dwarf was teleported away.

Thirteen minutes.

More and more dwarves screamed and fainted.

Fourteen minutes, fifteen minutes...

Most of the dwarves who were not in the late stage of body refining, including Banchui, left.

Twenty minutes later, everyone who was still in the hall had not only been burned, but had even started to turn black.

Even the dwarves with elementary iron skin could not withstand this strange heat.

Zhou Leng glanced at Zhang Xinglie.

Zhang Xinglie was worthy of being included in the first echelon of Yunhua. His skin was already burnt black and his body was shaking constantly, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Zhang Xinglie's will is also extremely strong.

Starting from the twentieth minute, dense red lights emerged from the ground, as thin as hair and an inch long.

Like a swarm of red light insects, they swam to everyone's feet and entered their bodies.

Everyone looked happy.

Twenty-one minutes, twenty-two minutes...

Thirty minutes after arriving, there were only twenty-two dwarves left in the huge lava hall.

All of them are descendants of ancient kings, and all of them are in the top late stage of body refining. In terms of actual combat ability, they are all better than Zhang Xinglie who is in the middle stage of body refining.

But, Zhang Xinglie is still standing here.

The amount of red light underground did not increase, but because so many people left, each person received more red light on average.

Thirty-one minutes, thirty-two minutes...

At the thirty-seventh minute, Zhang Xinglie's body tilted and he fell to the ground.

Now, there are only three people left in the Lava Hall.

The two dwarves and Zhou Leng were burned black, their skin cracked and their wounds charred.

The two dwarves were no longer conscious, their bodies swaying from side to side.

Zhou Leng's injuries were as serious as theirs, but his body did not shake at all.

This level of pain is incomparable to the Red Lotus Hell of Fire, not to mention the land of swords and weapons.

Under the pressure of heat, the power of the original devil and the light of the ancient gods are accelerating the strengthening of the body.

As long as you are willing, you can advance to the Body Refining Stage at any time.

However, I haven't finished taking the Buyuan Pills, and now I don't have the three upgrade pills on hand, so I'm not suitable for promotion.

However, all the strength is not wasted, and is constantly strengthening the body to make up for the weakest link.

The only pity is that this test is too weak at the conscious level.

The ice droplet above the Mountain of Will did not melt faster.

Forty-five minutes later, a dwarf fell.

Fifty-seven minutes later, the last dwarf looked at Zhou Leng and said, "You are so cruel..."

He rolled his eyes and fainted.

The dense swarm of red light insects on the ground all rushed towards Zhou Leng and entered his body along the cracked flesh.

Sixty minutes, seventy minutes...

One hundred and twenty minutes later, Zhou Leng's body was shaking with pain, but he still did not faint.

The heat here has reached its limit, and the pain level is no longer rising.

As long as my body can bear it, I can stand here forever.

Outside the lava hall, a magic mirror hangs on the wall.

The three magicians and more than thirty dwarf leaders watched this scene and were speechless for a long time.

The giant furnace said slowly: "The potential of this race is extraordinary."

“Not to mention those below the innate level, even if they are innate, not everyone can endure it for so long.”

"If I had known earlier, I should have granted him a higher title of dwarf prince."

"Stop it. If he continues to stand there, the power of the ancestral protection won't be enough next time."

"It's okay. He probably won't be able to absorb it all. Most of it will dissipate."

"The power of the ancestors' protection should be enough, but the power of the fountain of life must not be drained by him..."

"Look again."

Three hours later, Zhou Leng, whose body was covered with cracks, opened his eyes.

The surface of the eyeball is covered with cracks. The world before my eyes is like a broken mirror.

A dense swarm of red light insects gathered under his feet, spinning around him like living things and no longer entering his body.

"I'm full..." Zhou Leng closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

A white light flashed, and Zhou Leng fell into a hot spring.

The whole person was like red iron falling into water, stirring up mist all over the sky and a continuous hissing sound.

In the spring water, a trace of green light swam towards Zhou Leng like a small fish.

The red light in Zhou Leng's body absorbed the green light of the spring water and nourished his body.

The red and green light melted, forming a strange force that connected the flesh and blood, allowing the flesh and blood to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Layer after layer of skin fell off from the flesh and blood.

Eventually the skin disappears, revealing blood vessels and muscles.

Then, the red light attached to the surface of the body like cotton thread, weaving into new skin.

Everyone in front of the magic mirror was amazed.

"He should be the first human to obtain 'iron skin' under the Xiantian."

"Skin of steel combined with human Qi... everyone is a crazy tiger."

"If he can acquire a giant body, his achievements will be unimaginable."

"There are monsters among humans..."

Three days later, Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes.

"Ok?"

A surge of power surges through the body.

Zhou Leng looked down at his body and saw that his muscles were only slightly bigger.

However, it seemed as if magma was surging inside the body.

Walk out of the hot spring, stand by the hot spring, slowly perform a set of Layered Wave Palms, and feel the strength of your body.

"The meridians have been strengthened, and the output of true energy is greater..."

"The bones haven't changed much, but the muscles are obviously stronger, like pieces of iron, and they feel especially like dwarves..."

"skin……"

Zhou Leng stopped, stared at his skin, and reached out to touch it.

It is obviously smoother than before, but from the perspective of martial arts, the current skin strength is far beyond that of leather armor.

It's equivalent to a thin steel armor.

Zhou Leng nodded slightly. It seemed that he had obtained the magical power of the dwarves, iron skin.

Without Iron Skin, the human race must at least reach Grandmaster level before their skin can reach this strength.

Skin as tough as steel.

Invulnerable.

Skin itself is more resilient than steel, and when injected with true Qi, its strength far exceeds that of thin steel armor.

Nowadays, ordinary people can only leave some white marks when they use swords and knives to chop things.

"The Giant Trial is more certain..."

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, and there seemed to be a gleam of magma in his eyes.

This body may not be as good as the top genius, but it is good enough to match the ordinary genius.

Zhou Leng walked out of the hot spring, put on his clothes, picked up his things, and walked out.

The Golden Hammer Warrior respectfully took Zhou Leng back to the royal residence.

On the way, a wooden box sealed with demonic power was handed to Zhou Leng, which was two feet long and four inches wide.

Dragon bone medicine.

When I passed by the training ground, there was no one there.

"Where are they?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Except for your friends and a few humans, everyone else has left. The demon fighter planes of the Demon City Army are parked outside the palace. They should be here to pick you up."

Zhou Leng nodded, it should be the giant furnace that reported the matter of the divine text.

The magic watch rang.

Zhou Leng opened it and saw the news about Rong Chui and Zhang Xinglie.

"Someone from the Demon City Army is here. Brigade Commander Chen Shouhu... No, it's General Chen Shouhu, who is here in person with his men."

"General Chen Shouhu has been promoted to Grandmaster and is now a Brigadier General. It won't be long before he is promoted to Major General."

"We are all waiting for you..."

After reading the messages from the two, Zhou Leng followed the Golden Hammer Warrior to his own palace courtyard.

The small courtyard was full of people.

Some of them are Lou Feiqiong and others, and some of them are the dwarf teammates of the Ancient King’s Treasure.

Finally, there stood a group of soldiers from the Demon City Army wearing camouflage uniforms.

With his hair puffed up, Zhang Xinglie looks like a lion king, which is majestic enough.

But next to him stood a big man who was two times thicker than him.

His muscles seemed to be about to burst through his clothes, and he had a smile on his face. At first glance, he looked just tall and strong, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Although he was just speaking normally, there was a hint of madness in his eyes, and his aura was terrifying.

Zhou Leng had met Chen Shouhu once before at the Martial Arts Bureau testing ground, and today, Chen Shouhu's ferocity was even greater than before.

I don’t know if it’s due to my personality or the practice I’ve done.

"Come out?" Chen Shouhu smiled, his eyes burning like fire, looking Zhou Leng up and down.

Everyone looked at Zhou Leng.

The dwarves including Molten Hammer were about to say that Zhou Leng seemed to have gained skin of steel, but because there were outsiders present, they opened their mouths and closed them again.

Everyone present was a martial artist, and they felt something different after just one look at Zhou Leng.

Compared with before, Zhou Leng's body was obviously stronger, and his steps were slower but steadier.

It was just a simple walk, but it was like a boulder rolling down a narrow mountain road, making people instinctively want to avoid it.

This is the momentum that comes when physical strength reaches a certain level.

Walk like falling stone.

There was a faint glow beneath Zhou Leng's skin, like the light of jade, the light of fire, and the color of steel.

Everyone vaguely guessed that even if Zhou Leng did not obtain the iron skin ability, his muscles and skin would definitely be greatly strengthened and undergo a qualitative change.

"Hello, Senior Chen." Zhou said coldly.

"Go into the house, pack up, and leave immediately." Chen Fenghu said.

"Yes."

Zhou Leng went into the house, tidied up briefly, and walked out.

"Let's go." Chen Shouhu took big steps and walked out of the palace.
