From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Time flies, and ten days have passed.

During these ten days, Chen Xun never left the Medicine Gang.

He rarely leaves his room.

Every day, besides going to the cafeteria to eat and fill my stomach, I would cultivate in my room.

The six Bone Tempering Pills he obtained from Chen Yang were all refined by him during the ten days of intensive training, turning into provisions and greatly advancing Chen Xun's progress towards the Iron Bone Realm.

【Bone Forging Realm (Iron Bones 86%)】

Except for his skull, the rest of his body has been completely tempered into iron bones.

His strength was enhanced once again.

Chen Xun secretly tried it, and he can now easily lift a stone cauldron weighing three thousand catties.

According to his understanding, the average peak Iron Bone Realm cultivator possesses a strength of no more than two thousand jin.

Chen Xun now possesses a strength exceeding three thousand jin.

He could easily defeat or even kill an ordinary Iron Bone Realm martial artist within a few moves.

Information about the Silver Bone Realm is scarce, and Chen Xun is unaware of the situation at this realm, so he cannot make a comparison.

However, Chen Xun did know the method to advance to the Silver Bone Realm.

There are two methods.

Firstly, one can cultivate oneself to allow the Qi and blood to undergo a fourth transformation, enabling the Qi and blood to further temper the bones.

This method is difficult.

One needs to cultivate a low-grade Yellow Rank martial art to the level of mastery.

Even a martial art like the [Bull Demon Mighty Fist] is at the bottom of the low-grade Yellow Rank martial arts, and it requires mastery to reach perfection.

Moreover, it's not just about perfecting the fist techniques; stance training, breathing exercises, and everything else must also be perfected.

Only in this way can the Qi and blood undergo a fourth transformation.

However, without Chen Xun's "cheat code," how many people could do it?

This requires not only strong comprehension but also diligent practice.

Therefore, since its establishment, Chenjia Village has never produced a single Silver Bone Realm martial artist.

The Medicine Clan has better martial arts; once mastered, they have the opportunity to break through their Qi and blood for the fourth time, which is why Silver Bone Realm cultivators are always appearing.

Of course, most of the Silver Bone Realm cultivators in the Medicine Clan did not achieve this through self-cultivation.

Although it was only at the highest level, it was still extremely difficult for them.

This leads us to the second method, which is medicinal bath.

Using its powerful medicinal properties, it compresses the body's Qi and blood to undergo a fourth transformation.

This method has two key aspects.

One is the medicinal bath formula, and the other is the martial artist's own tolerance and absorption efficiency of the medicine.

Forces like the Medicine Gang, which can consistently produce Silver Bone Realm martial artists, all have their own unique medicinal bath formulas.

These were all things they had explored over decades, or things they had seized from other forces.

Although the medicinal bath formulas are different, the effects are similar. They all accumulate medicinal power to allow the medicinal properties to burst out quickly in a short period of time.

Therefore, a medicinal bath formula requires many precious medicinal materials.

If only there were a magic elixir.

For a force like the Medicine Clan, rare and precious herbs are hard to come by, and even if they were obtained, they would only be used by the clan leader and would not be wasted on future generations.

However, for those larger powers, elixirs are not particularly precious; they are perfectly worth using to nurture future generations.

Therefore, sometimes the difference between geniuses from small places and those cultivated by powerful forces is as vast as heaven and earth.

With the strength of the medicine gang, they can gather enough medicinal materials for a medicinal bath every two or three years.

Before that, they would select people to receive the medicinal bath from a group of disciples at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.

And that is the second key point.

The selected candidates need to have a stronger physique than others, and a deeper understanding of stance training and breathing techniques.

If one reaches a high level of mastery in either stance training or breathing techniques, the probability of being selected will greatly increase.

Compared to mastering a complete set of martial arts techniques, the difficulty is much lower.

Therefore, medicinal baths are a shortcut.

Taking shortcuts naturally comes at a price.

And for most people, this cost is not really a cost.

That means the difficulty of advancing to the Golden Bone Realm has increased significantly.

The Golden Bone Realm is the exclusive realm of true geniuses.

In the county town, if you say you are at the Silver Bone Realm, people will at most look at you with a second glance.

If you claim to be at the Golden Bone Realm, you'll receive a chorus of flattery from many people.

Because the Golden Bone Realm is the ticket to the Divine Treasure Realm.

As long as they don't die, a Golden Bone Realm genius, given sufficient resources, has a 70% chance of breaking through to the Divine Treasure Realm.

Therefore, this price is only for those geniuses who intend to break through to the Golden Bone Realm.

For others, this is no price to pay; they never had this goal in the first place.

"Senior Brother Song Que said that the gang collected all the medicinal materials needed for a medicinal bath a year ago, and it will take another year or two to collect another batch."

"But I don't have time to wait."

"Besides, whether I'll even be able to use it then is another matter."

Chen Xun pondered in his room.

Then, he opened the [Martial Arts Diligence Record] and took a look at his current attributes.

[Owner: Chen Xun]

[Realm: Bone Forging Realm (Iron Bones 86%)]

Martial Arts: Archery (Mastery 54%), Bull Demon Stance (Limit Breaking Trait: The Strength of an Ox), Bull Demon Breathing Technique (Limit Breaking Trait: Endless Life), Bull Demon Mighty Fist (Mastery 45%), Dragon Elephant Stance - Giant Elephant (Proficient 12%)

Chen Xun has already broken through to the limit in the breathing techniques and stance training of the "Bull Demon Mighty Fist" martial art.

Only the [Bull Demon Mighty Fist] technique remains at the Great Perfection stage.

"It seems that I will have to focus my training on fist techniques from now on."

Chen Xun stared at the [Bull Demon Mighty Fist], lost in thought.

Then, his gaze fell on the giant elephant stake.

He sets aside an hour each day to practice this stance training.

It may not be very useful now, but once his cultivation level improves, this stance training will definitely become his main focus.

The level of "Bull Demon Mighty Fist" is too low. Even if you practice it to the point of breaking the limit, you will gradually fall behind.

"When the New Year is approaching, I will go back to the village to see if I can get the whereabouts of the other parts of the Dragon Elephant Skill from Luo Qiufeng."

Chen Xun thought to himself.

After that, he began to practice boxing, cultivating the [Bull Demon Mighty Fist].

Practice over and over again.

He imagined himself as a real bull demon, surrounded by monsters, and that he only knew this one style of boxing.

He used this boxing style to kill enemies and defend himself.

One monster and enemy after another fell to his fists.

Chen Xun's progress in boxing was like fueled by the corpses of those fake enemies, steadily and rapidly improving.

Five days later.

Chen Xun, dressed in only a single layer of clothing and soaked in sweat, was resting while practicing standing meditation.

He was standing on a giant elephant stake.

Thanks to his inexhaustible vitality, he has excellent endurance and recovers his strength very quickly.

He rested well in no time.

"One last time."

A faint hint of excitement flashed in Chen Xun's eyes.

【Bull Demon Mighty Fist (Mastery 99%)】

He spent most of the five days practicing this set of boxing techniques.

Perhaps it was the breakthrough in stance training and breathing techniques that allowed him to find his progress in practicing this set of boxing techniques to be astonishing when he practiced it again.

You can improve your progress by more than 10 points a day.

However, because he focused on practicing his fist techniques, his progress in cultivation slowed down considerably.

Bone Forging Realm (Iron Bones 86%) → (Iron Bones 91%)

You can only improve your progress by about 1 point per day.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he used up all the Bone Tempering Pills.

He is currently using Feixue San (a traditional Chinese medicine), one packet a day.

Because he had to practice his boxing, he didn't have much time to train, so he wasted a lot of the medicine's effects.

Even so, nine days later, he will reach the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.

After resting, Chen Xun began practicing the final round of the fist technique at the Great Completion stage.

He punched very slowly and very seriously.

When he finished the last move.

[Bull Demon's Mighty Fist Experience +10]

99% of the way to perfection → 1% of the way to complete success

His fist technique instantly broke through to the perfect realm.
