Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

When the energy is depleted, it is repaired; when the energy is fully repaired, it is tempered. The cycle repeats itself.

In the dead of night, he fell asleep immediately, still meditating and guiding his qi in his dreams.

The true energy gradually becomes thicker and its circulation becomes more and more harmonious.

"I have mastered the third level of the Pure Yang Skill and the nine forms of the Killing Blade Technique."

"I follow the path of cultivating both internal and external strength. I've just entered the early stage of Meridian Opening in the third level of Pure Yang Gong, but my physical body tempering is still far from sufficient... In terms of Pure Yang Gong alone, I'm only at the mid-stage of Body Tempering right now."

"Nine months left in the newbie protection period. Goal: Level 7 of Pure Yang Skill."

In my first year at the Demon Suppression Division, there were no assessment tasks. The hardest job I did every day was patrolling the Demon Suppression Prison.

Lin Quan roused himself, went to the library, and chose a light-body skill.

"Flying over the grass... seek speed, not trickery; go straight for the kill. If you can't dodge it, you can only be faster."

This light-body skill is divided into four levels: beginner, minor mastery, major mastery, and perfection.

After returning to his residence, he spent most of his time practicing Chunyang Gong every day.

He could practice both the Grass-Walking Technique and the Killing Blade Technique for only one incense stick's time.

The old saying is true: If you practice martial arts but don't cultivate your inner energy, you'll end up with nothing in your old age.

With each level of the Pure Yang Skill, the steps of the Grass-Flying Technique become heavier, and the killing blade technique becomes more ruthless.

The pure yang energy is raised to its peak, and then it nourishes the physical body... Day after day, month after month, it is honed.

Lin Quan felt a tightness in his scalp while patrolling the prison, but he kept staring at the mangled bodies of the demons in the cells, hardening his mind and making it calloused.

If you dare not face the demons directly, you will only face certain death when you actually enter the examination arena.

The monsters primarily target the soul; they are imprisoned and frighten people without harming them.

The more you fear, the bolder you become.

Standing before the iron bars time and time again, staring at the distorted shapes and hoarse whispers, my fear was gradually crushed and shattered.

"You vixen, come out if you dare."

"It's just spending a night together? If you dare to take even half a step, I'll make you serve me in bed."

He paced back and forth in the Demon Suppression Prison, uttering provocative words, specifically targeting the most restless and monstrous creatures.

Half a year has passed, and Chunyang Gong has steadily climbed to the sixth level; Grass Flying and Killing Blade Technique have both reached the Great Perfection.

Having already established a foundation, and using demons as a whetstone, their progress was naturally rapid.

The more he provoked them with his words, the more frantic the creatures in the cell became, banging against the bars, roaring, and conjuring up evil spirits with all their might... but separated by the cage, no matter how fierce they were, they couldn't touch the hem of his clothes.

Three months ago, I was still hovering on the third floor, but now I have jumped to the third floor.

"Six months left in the beginner period, aiming for the ninth level of the Pure Yang Skill."

If it weren't for the time limit for patrolling the prison, he would have loved to move a couch and sleep at the entrance of the prison.

Practicing here will yield twice the results with half the effort.

If you don't work hard when your life is still in your own hands, you'll be torn apart and devoured by demons and monsters sooner or later.

The Demon Suppression Division is constantly recruiting, but it is always short of positions.

Why? There are too many demons, and the demon-slaying envoys have suffered heavy losses.

Although monsters are not as fierce as demons, they still surpass many martial artists in terms of combat power.

"My Pure Yang Skill is currently not much worse than Shen Changqing's."

"They have a cheat code; once they accumulate kill points, their attack power can be upgraded at will."

"My Pure Yang Skill, at most, has a maximum of nine levels; if he wants, he can go all the way up and break through the sky."

A thought flashed through Lin Quan's mind, and he gave a self-deprecating laugh, shook his head, and stepped back into the courtyard.

With a movement of the dantian, pure yang qi surges forth like molten gold, permeating and refining layer by layer from tendons and bones to flesh, internal organs, and skin.

When his true energy was exhausted, he immediately sat cross-legged and resumed his attack.

An hour and a half later, not only was it fully restored, but it also became thicker.

He rolled out of bed, his toes barely touching the ground as he leaped into the air; his hand gripped the hilt of his sword, and he drew it from its sheath, unleashing nine consecutive moves of his killing sword technique.

This sword technique is extremely simple yet fierce, with no feints or fancy moves; all nine moves are killing blows, each aimed directly at vital points.

He practiced these two skills every day without fail, spending two hours practicing them: Grasshopper for survival and Killer Blade for life and death.

With each step, the wind seemed to blow, and true energy flowed downwards; with each turn of the blade, physical strength followed suit.

After two hours of intense exertion, Lin Quan sheathed his sword, returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, placed his long sword across his knees, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing. His Pure Yang Skill was activated once more.

Go to the canteen on time for meals; the food at the Demon Suppression Division is quite good.

The apprentice demon hunters had plenty of meat and fish at every meal, as well as medicinal dishes to aid their cultivation; their meals were a level above those of demon hunters.

In the Great Qin Demon Suppression Division, the higher the rank, the better the compensation.

Aside from eating and sleeping, he devoted all his remaining time to the Pure Yang Skill.

This technique cultivates both internal and external aspects simultaneously... externally strengthening muscles, bones, and skin, and internally refining a breath of pure yang energy.

Movement and stillness are inherently one, but he rarely practices dynamic exercises.

Since true qi can be directly infused into the whole body for tempering, why bother with sweating and stretching?

The effect is even stronger.

I practiced stretching my muscles and bones a few times during that period, but then I simply stopped.

"Pure Yang Skill, seventh level. Five months remaining in the beginner protection period."

He would take on assignments every now and then, but most of the time, he relied on patrolling prisons to hone his courage, cultivate his spirit, and accelerate his progress.

Half a month later, Grass Flying reached perfection.

Lin Quan sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, giving up the idea of ​​going to the library to look for other cultivation methods.

Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. He hasn't mastered either the Pure Yang Skill or the Killing Blade Technique, and there are only five months left until the apprentice demon slayer assessment.

Adding another skill would inevitably take up more time that would otherwise be spent on training the Pure Yang Skill and the Killing Blade Technique.

A few days later, the Killing Blade Technique quietly reached perfection.

Lin Quan had just returned from the Demon Suppression Prison, having come empty-handed and gained nothing. After returning to his courtyard, he no longer focused on anything else, burying himself in the Pure Yang Skill.

In the Demon Suppression Prison, he mocked the demons and monsters every day, constantly spouting cold words. Over time, they gradually ignored him... as if he were just a shadow on the stone wall, too lazy to even acknowledge his presence.

More than a month later, Chunyang Gong steadily advanced to the eighth level.

"There are still three months left. The ninth floor is almost certainly going to be completed."

The pure yang energy is repeatedly depleted, regenerated, and thickened, like the tide receding and rising again, each time becoming heavier and fuller than the last.

Aside from eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping, he devoted all his time to attacking techniques.

In my past life, I read "The Human Guardian" and remembered that the test subject for the apprentice demon slayer was usually a ghost-level monster.

Although the Nether Rank is the lowest level of monsters, in a real fight, it can tear an ordinary martial artist apart in a single exchange.

After two months of relentless practice day and night, the Pure Yang Skill finally reached its peak... the ninth level of perfection.

When Shen Changqing took the assessment, his Pure Yang Skill was only at the eighth level.

"In this one subject alone, I'm already one step ahead of him."

"But he practices the Thirteen Bodyguards' Body Tempering Technique. I temper my body daily with pure Yang Qi, burning through my muscles, bones, skin, flesh, and internal organs... Can this body compare to the body tempered by body tempering?"

Lin Quan is a time traveler. Shen Changqing is also a time traveler, and he even has a cheat-like ability; more importantly, he is the protagonist of the entire "Human Guardian".

People always need something to strive for. Without goals, life just falls apart.

He shook off his distracting thoughts and once again channeled his pure Yang energy, cleansing his entire body inch by inch.

His true energy was depleted, replenished, and then depleted again... After several rounds, as dawn broke, he got up and headed straight for the library.

"If what you learn is exactly the same as what the protagonist has learned, you can forget about ever surpassing him in this lifetime."

"There's the 'Lightness Skill' for leaping over grass, the 'Pure Yang Skill' for internal energy cultivation, and the 'Killing Sword Technique' for swordsmanship... As for fist techniques, you'll have to choose another one."

With only one month left in the beginner protection period, he weighed his options carefully and memorized the Dragon Tiger Fist.

Despite its impressive name, low rank, and offensive strategy, it employs a defensive approach.
