Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

The golden light cluster transformed into countless tiny specks of light, surrounding Zhou Chen before slowly merging into him.

Zhou Chen felt as if his entire body was made of rough iron placed on an iron felt mat, gradually solidifying under the scorching of flames and the forging of an iron hammer.

[Divine power integration complete!]

[Supernatural Power: Seventy-Two Transformations (inherited from Sun Wukong), Beginner Level (0%)]

[Function: It can manipulate creation, transcending all forms. It can manifest a thousand faces in a single breath, representing the form and spirit of all things in heaven and earth; its mind follows its thoughts, enabling it to avert the true calamities and tribulations.]

The moment the integration was complete, all the uses of the Seventy-Two Transformations technique flooded into my mind.

"At the beginner level, one can alter their appearance and conceal their cultivation aura?"

Before Zhou Chen could even begin his experiment, a white mist surged forth, completely enveloping him.

In the instant it disappeared, the rusty staff in Zhou Chen's hand trembled slightly, and bits of rust peeled off, emitting a faint golden light.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen returned to the real world and walked to the bronze mirror inside the house.

The next moment, his handsome face slowly changed, like white wax that could be kneaded at will.

With raised brow bones and downturned eyes, the face appears more slender.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chen had transformed into a treacherous villain with slanted, triangular eyes.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, his appearance returned to normal.

"I wonder if it's possible to adjust height and body shape?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen once again used the Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Power, concentrating his thoughts on his body.

Unlike his face, which was as white as wax and could be kneaded at will, the moment Zhou Chen attempted to alter his bones and body shape using the Seventy-Two Transformations technique, a powerful repulsive force came and prevented Zhou Chen from changing.

"The bones of a Bone Forging Realm cultivator have been completely tempered by blood energy, making them extremely stable. Even the entry-level Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Power cannot alter their bones and muscles."

At this point, another idea popped into Zhou Chen's mind.

According to the description of the supernatural powers, when the Seventy-Two Transformations are cultivated to the extreme, one can imitate the form and spirit of all things in heaven and earth, and can avoid the true secrets of the three calamities and nine difficulties.

Therefore, improving one's martial arts aptitude might be as simple as doing it casually.

At that time, his daily cultivation speed may be able to increase rapidly.

Having acquired the Seventy-Two Transformations, Zhou Chen felt as if he had acquired a game where he could freely customize his character's appearance.

I spent the whole night figuring out how the pores change.

the next day.

He transformed from a woman into his original appearance, washed up, and looked at himself in the mirror.

"As expected, no matter how you adjust it, there's no limit to how far your appearance can go."

After a night of exploration, he finally figured out the limits of the beginner level of the Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Power.

Firstly, one can only change one's appearance; one's own bones and body shape cannot be altered.

Secondly, it can conceal his own qi and blood. If he were to unleash it now, outsiders would only be able to see that he is at the Flesh Refining Realm, and would never guess that he is already at the Bone Forging Realm, where he is about to complete the tempering of 206 bones.

-----------------

As soon as Zhou Chen stepped out of the house, the maids who had been assigned to serve him had already brought the food from the dining hall.

Looking at Zhou Chen's radiant face, the maid holding the lunchbox was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

"Could it be that the Seventy-Two Transformations technique really did enhance my appearance?" Zhou Chen wondered to himself.

When the maid arrived yesterday, she was a little shy when she saw me, but she was nowhere near as embarrassed as she is today.

He shook his head, not dwelling on such a trivial matter, and opened his lunchbox to eat breakfast.

Compared to outer disciples, inner disciples obviously have a much more lavish breakfast.

A meal made from the meat of four or five kinds of demonic beasts, plus a bowl of medicinal soup, provides several times the amount of vital energy compared to the meals served to outer disciples.

Patting his stomach, Zhou Chen got up, picked up the crimson bronze staff leaning against the door, and headed towards the inner courtyard of the martial arts school.

Like outer disciples, inner disciples also have morning lessons every day.

The difference is that inner disciples are all internal martial artists, many of whom come from families. Even martial artists without family backgrounds will inevitably seek out a family to serve as a guest elder and receive some offerings if they want to take a step further in martial arts.

Since they have received resources from the family, they naturally have to deal with mundane matters.

As inner disciples of the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School, their strength is widely recognized in Xingde County, and almost every inner disciple is affiliated with a number of families.

The Body Tempering Realm is merely a consumable resource for martial artists in Xingde County.

Only when one reaches the inner strength stage can one be qualified to become a talent.

Zhou Chen walked through a moon archway and entered the inner courtyard of the martial arts school.

At this moment, on a small training ground, only four or five disciples dressed in red were talking and sparring.

Upon noticing the new faces dressed in red approaching, everyone turned their gaze towards them.

"Zhou Chen, over here!"

On the training ground, Yi Lianxing waved to Zhou Chen as he approached.

Upon hearing Yi Lianxing call out the name of the person, the disciples present exchanged glances.

A few days ago, Yi Yan came out of seclusion, and Hong Lie, the head constable of the county government, came to personally invite him upon hearing the news.

The purpose was to have the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School work with the county government to investigate the cannibalistic monster incident that had recently caused a great uproar in the city.

Therefore, in recent days, most of the inner disciples of the martial arts school have been busy investigating outside. Many people have only heard that the school master has exceptionally promoted a genius at the Bone Forging Realm to the inner sect.

They even gave him the treatment of a personal disciple and were thinking of recommending him to their sect in the county town.

Now that we're face to face, we naturally want to take a good look.

Hearing someone calling, Zhou Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yi Lianxing. He stepped forward.

Today she was dressed in red, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and her face was completely unadorned, yet she exuded a natural, unpretentious beauty.

"Senior Sister Yi." Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze and bowed respectfully.

Yi Lianxing waved her hand and said with a smile, "How's it going? How's your cultivation of the Crimson Flame Scripture?"

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your senior sister Yi."

She straightened up, her eyes full of anticipation.

Although she was only sixteen years old, she had already broken through the inner strength barrier and was a well-known genius in Xingde County.

Unfortunately, all the inner disciples of the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Academy were martial artists who had been in the inner sect for many years. Whether it was strength or age, she could not compare with them.

Although she has the title of a direct disciple, and people will politely call her Senior Sister Yi, they still treat her as their junior sister in daily interactions.

Today, we finally have a newcomer at the Bone Forging Realm. We must seize this opportunity and give the newcomer some pointers.

Having lived two lives, Zhou Chen's mental age is well over sixteen.

Looking at Yi Lianxing's expectant eyes now, how could he not understand her thoughts?

Coincidentally, after completing the recording of the Crimson Flame Sutra yesterday, he was so engrossed in studying the Seventy-Two Transformations that he hadn't had a chance to research it yet.

"There are still many things I don't understand, and I would be grateful if Senior Sister Yi would be so kind as to enlighten me," Zhou Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yi Lianxing's eyes lit up, signaling Zhou Chen to continue.

"Yesterday I observed that the Crimson Flame Scripture also involves condensing qi and blood, and tempering the entire body. How is it different from the Crimson Flame Staff Technique?"

"Martial arts techniques are divided into internal and external." As Yi Yan's only daughter, Yi Lianxing grew up in the county town and naturally had a solid foundation in martial arts.

"The Crimson Flame Staff Technique is an external martial art, a method of combat."

"The Crimson Flame Scripture is an internal cultivation technique that refines the physical body and nourishes the qi and blood; it is a method of internal cultivation."
