Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 22 Abundance
After making up his mind, Chu Kuang took out the source energy potion and swallowed it. Then he sat cross-legged in the martial arts room and began to circulate his basic internal energy.

Internal energy cultivation is essentially about refining essence into qi, integrating one's own qi and blood into the five internal organs, and then using the five internal organs to transform it into powerful internal strength.

With the source energy potion providing high-quality source energy, Chu Kuang skipped the process of converting blood and qi into internal force and directly used source energy to replace blood and qi to cultivate internal force.

Thus, Chu Kuang, who originally could not keep up with the basic internal energy cultivation of three cycles a day, was able to cultivate it for seven or eight cycles without feeling much pressure, thanks to the support of the source energy.

By the ninth cycle, Chu Kuang felt that he had vaguely reached a bottleneck in his basic internal energy cultivation, and was only one step away from perfection.

So he persevered and cultivated for three more cycles, exhausting the last bit of power from the source energy potion, before finally breaking through the bottleneck of his basic internal energy cultivation.

"It's done!"

With his basic internal skills perfected, Chu Kuang was overjoyed, but then felt an intense hunger fill his body.

He quickly took out the nutrient solution and swallowed it. After swallowing five vials, he finally felt better.

"Refining essence into power consumes far too much energy."

He didn't stop until he had swallowed ten vials of nutrient solution before he stopped eating.

It turned out that at the final stage of cultivating basic internal energy, the source energy potion was no longer sufficient, so he had to force himself to refine essence into power, which consumed a large amount of qi and blood.

If this were in ancient times, without these nutrient solutions, he would probably need several months of dietary supplements to recover from the deficiency in his essence-refining power.

"This breakthrough has brought about a tremendous change in my strength."

Name: Chu Kuang

Race: Terran

Hit Level: 6.2

Realms: Body Tempering Perfected [Solid Body], Organ Refinement Perfected [Abundant]

Cultivation Technique: Basic Internal Skill [Perfect 0/3]

Looking at the data on the panel, Chu Kuang couldn't help but smile.

The apprenticeship stage is divided into two phases: body tempering and organ refinement. Body tempering includes the Rock Body, Black Iron Body, Wild Copper Body, and Vajra Body.

The completion of internal organ refinement enables one to cultivate internal strength, which is further divided into four levels: abundant, vigorous, profound, and primordial.

This classification is based on the quality of internal force, much like the difference between the Huashan School's Huashan Heart Sutra and Zixia Internal Force in ancient times.

Even if the former is perfected, the internal energy cultivated can only be considered abundant, while the internal energy cultivated by the latter is astonishingly profound. Once activated, it is like a raging storm. This is the powerful level of internal energy.

Even if one cultivates basic internal skills to perfection, the internal energy cultivated will only be at the level of fullness, which is not superior to advanced internal skills. However, for Chu Kuang, it can be considered a qualitative change.

Next, Chu Kuang only needs to refine the nutrient solution, and his life level will soon reach level 6.5. Then, he can combine his internal and external skills, and he will not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching level 7.

"Having just broken through, this is the perfect time to cultivate."

Suppressing his excitement, Chu Kuang quickly began practicing basic internal energy cultivation.

The basic internal energy cultivation at the perfect level was indeed astonishing. He had only circulated it for two cycles before he had exhausted all the nutrient fluid in his body, and an extreme feeling of hunger filled his chest once again.

He quickly drank several vials of nutrient solution, then checked his panel and found that his life level had reached 6.3.

"As long as one's cultivation level catches up, internal energy cultivation is indeed faster than external energy cultivation."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself and immediately continued practicing his basic internal energy cultivation.

Internal energy cultivation is different from external energy cultivation. External energy cultivation requires a process, but directly converting nutrient solution into internal energy is much faster.

Of course, this is also because of the nutrient solution. Without the nutrient solution, relying solely on a strong physique to refine essence into power would likely take decades to cultivate internal strength.

This is why many martial artists in ancient times practiced for decades but still could not master a particular internal skill.

At this moment, Chu Kuang had plenty of nutrient solution, so he immediately began to seize the time to cultivate.

The next day, he took a day off from school and secluded himself at home to cultivate for the entire day, only stopping in the afternoon after using up the last vial of nutrient solution. Name: Chu Kuang

Race: Terran

Hit Level: 6.5

Realms: Body Tempering Perfected [Solid Body], Organ Refinement Perfected [Abundant]

Kung Fu Technique: Basic Internal Kung Fu...

Chu Kuang finished his cultivation, looked at the data on the panel, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Our strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but unfortunately we don't have enough nutrient solution."

Chu Kuang had a headache. He had only reached level 6.5 in life, and he had already consumed two hundred bottles of nutrient solution in one go. As his cultivation level increased, his need for nutrient solution would also increase.

Moreover, his internal energy cultivation has reached perfection, and the conditions for the unity of internal and external energy have been met. His life level will not encounter any bottlenecks before level seven, but this will require at least three or four hundred bottles of nutrient solution.

"With my current abilities, I should be able to try to break into the top 500. I'll make it into the top 500 first to get the interest-free loan and the 10,000 yuan bonus."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself, then directly entered the Tianheng Star Realm to begin the ranking competition.

With his level 6.5 health, he was unstoppable in ranked matches, quickly achieving a four-game winning streak and climbing to rank 536.

"Four consecutive wins, my hidden MMR is not low, and I will most likely face a top 500 player in the next game."

After defeating a formidable opponent once again, Chu Kuang had a strong premonition and opened a new ranked match.

He waited two minutes before successfully finding an opponent and was eventually teleported to a dilapidated star ruin.

This is a shattered battlefield in the starry sky. In the center of the battlefield is a star arena with extremely low gravity, surrounded by hundreds and thousands of star fragments and meteorites.

"Shattered Stars".

Chu Kuang frowned slightly. The gravity on this arena battlefield was extremely low, which was actually more suitable for people who relied on agility.

At that very instant, a beam of light descended from the void before them.

A tall, slender man in white robes, wielding a long sword, descended.

【Frost Marks on Leaves】

[School: Tianheng No.3 Middle School]

[Ranking: 500]

[Wins 216: Losses 67]

[Win rate 69%]

"Chu Kuang".

Ye Shuanghen looked up at Chu Kuang, a smile in her eyes, and said, "I noticed you a long time ago. You were able to achieve a four-game winning streak today, and none of the wins were too difficult. Getting into the top 500 shouldn't be a problem."

"Unfortunately, these shattered stars are not very friendly to you. I'm afraid you won't be able to get past my test."

Chu Kuang smiled and flicked his spear, saying, "We haven't even fought yet, so it's probably too early to talk about victory."

"Hahaha, let's have a fight!"

Ye Shuanghen laughed loudly, his white robes fluttering, and he lightly touched the Starry Night Arena with his toes. His figure moved like flowing clouds, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, and in an instant he appeared in front of Chu Kuang.

"Drifting clouds and wispy shadows?"

Chu Kuang's pupils narrowed slightly as he recognized the origin of this movement technique. Instantly, the spear in his hand shot out like a dragon, drawing several golden rays that pierced towards Ye Shuanghen. It was the starting move of the Golden Spear Spear - Seven Stars Splitting the Moon.
