【Mighty Vajra Palm: Perfect】

【Special Feature: Vajra Palm】

A transparent light curtain slowly appeared before my eyes.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged beside the medicine barrel, his chest rising and falling slightly, his gaze falling on the two lines of words, his eyes gradually brightening.

The Mighty Vajra Palm technique has finally been perfected.

The body-tempering liquid in the medicine barrel had become much dilute.

Lu Chen slowly withdrew his hands from the liquid medicine.

Splash!

Thick liquid medicine dripped through his fingers.

His hands, from the palms to the backs of the hands, and then to the ten fingers, were covered with a layer of ancient gold color.

The color wasn't glaring.

Unlike gold leaf floating on the surface of the skin, it seems to emanate from deep within the skin, solid and heavy, carrying an indescribable resilience.

Lu Chen slightly spread his five fingers, and his knuckles cracked softly.

The skin on the palms is as tight as leather, and the knuckles are as hard as iron, yet there is no stiffness in their movements; on the contrary, they are more flexible than before.

He picked up a short knife from the side and lightly sliced ​​the blade across his palm.

laugh.

A soft sound.

The blade only left a faint white mark on the ancient golden palm skin, without even breaking the skin.

Lu Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he closed his five fingers together.

Click!

He forcefully bent the blade of the short knife, cracks spreading from the back of the blade, and finally it shattered into two pieces with a snap.

He looked at his palm and was very satisfied.

Before he perfected the Vajra Palm technique, his palms were already powerful enough to grab knives, shatter stones, and break wood with his bare hands.

But things are different now.

These hands are not just strong.

Instead, they were truly forged into a pair of weapons.

The skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and knuckles were all repeatedly refined by the medicinal power and the flow of qi and blood, becoming a unified whole.

If combined with the explosive power of a peak-level Blood Refining expert, a single palm strike would be terrifyingly powerful. It would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction!

"Before the martial arts exam, we have another trump card."

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"Next, only the Heart-Shattering Force remains!"

""

His eyes flickered, and the transparent light screen in front of him changed accordingly:

[The Power to Shake the Soul: The Great Achievement]

[Progress: 221/1000]

"There are still two weeks left, we should have enough time!"

Without further delay, Lu Chen immediately immersed himself in practicing the Heart-Shattering Force.

Xiaoshenglou.

.

It was lunchtime, and the place was packed with people, both upstairs and downstairs.

Several young martial artists dressed in short-sleeved shirts were drinking and talking about the most exciting things happening in Chixia County recently.

"Have you heard? At the Qianhe Martial Arts School, Fang Henian has already reached the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm."

Upon hearing this, the voices at the nearby tables quieted down a bit.

Someone put down their wine glass and exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Henian? Is that the young man who suddenly appeared at Qianhe Martial Arts School last year?"

"Who else could it be but him?" The speaker was a thin-faced man who seemed to be well-informed. He picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and said slowly, "Last year, he had already reached the Great Perfection of Blood Transformation. The Thousand Crane Martial Arts School also invested a lot of resources in him. It's not too surprising that he has reached the peak this year."

,

"Tsk, that's the pinnacle of blood-moving."

A young martial artist listened with envy and couldn't help but say, "When you reach that stage, your blood and qi move as if there's a furnace burning inside your body. How can an ordinary person withstand that?"

Someone nearby sighed, "This Fang Henian is a true disciple of the Qianhe Martial Arts School. He practices the school's secret Crane Form Force, and his movements are incredibly fast and his attacks are ruthless. Anyone who encounters him on the martial arts stage is doomed."

""

"What about Shi Hao from Canglong Martial Arts School?"

'

Suddenly, someone at another table chimed in.

"Isn't Shi Hao also known as a genius? At the Gathering of Heroes in early spring, he defeated two top masters from Qianhe Martial Arts School and Weiyuan Hall. If he also breaks through to the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, he might be able to compete with Fang Henian, right?"

Upon hearing Shi Hao's name, the people in the hall immediately became more interested.

After all, among the five major martial arts schools in Chixia County, Shi Hao is quite famous among this year's young disciples. Many people know that Canglong Martial Arts School values ​​him highly, almost grooming him as a future martial arts prodigy.

The thin-faced man nodded: "If Shi Hao can reach the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, coupled with the Azure Dragon Force of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts School, he certainly has a fighting chance. The Azure Dragon Force is fierce and powerful, and in head-on combat, he is no weaker than others. But the problem is..."

He paused deliberately as he said this.

The person next to him got impatient: "But what's the problem? Just tell me!"

The thin-faced man smiled mysteriously: "In this year's martial arts exam, the truly powerful one is not the Thousand Crane Martial Arts School."

"Not Qianhe Martial Arts School?"

'

"It's Weiyuantang."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group changed.

Weiyuantang did not have a good reputation in Chixia County. Its disciples were domineering, skilled in grappling and locking, and extremely ruthless when they fought.

Someone frowned and said, "Besides a few true disciples, what other powerful figures does Weiyuan Hall have this year?"

2

The thin-faced man chuckled, then looked around and said in a low, mysterious voice, "I heard that Weiyuan Hall is hiding someone."

"Someone is hiding?"

'

Who is being hidden?

'

"Li Huchen".

"Li Huchen?"

'

Everyone looked at each other.

The name was completely unfamiliar to them.

Among the younger generation in Chixia County, there are some well-known figures whose names have been heard by most people. Fang Henian of Qianhe Martial Arts School, Shi Hao of Canglong Martial Arts School, several true disciples of Weiyuan Hall, and the young head镖师 of Wangyuan Escort Agency—these names have been mentioned countless times in restaurants and teahouses.

But no one had ever heard of the name Li Huchen.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Never heard of him? Is there such a person in Chixia County?"

'

The thin-faced man shook his head: "He's not from Chixia County."

The expressions of the people in the hall changed.

"From out of town?"

"Not bad," the thin-faced man said. "I heard that Weiyuan Hall brought this person back from elsewhere. It seems that he is related to a certain destroyed martial arts sect and is a bloodline descendant of that sect. The head of Weiyuan Hall has a past relationship with that sect, so he took him in and secretly trained him for several years."

""

"Cultivating them covertly?"

One of the bodyguards frowned and said, "So, Weiyuan Hall is playing a long game?"

"Who knows?" The thin-faced man took a sip of his wine. "Anyway, no one in Chixia County has ever seen Li Huchen make a move in the past few years. It wasn't until the martial arts examination was approaching that Weiyuan Hall started to leak some information."

Someone nearby muttered, "They've been hiding it well, haven't they?"

The thin-faced man put down his wine glass, his expression becoming more serious, and said, "The most troublesome thing is that this Li Huchen seems to have a special constitution."

""

Upon hearing this, the young martial artists immediately sat up straight.

"Special physique?"

"Really?"

What's your constitution?

The thin-faced man slowly uttered four words: "Born with tiger bones."

1

There was silence in the hall.

A young martial artist's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is a natural tiger bone?"

An older bodyguard beside him glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Ordinary martial artists cultivate by first moving blood before they start training their skin."

It strengthens the tendons and bones. But people born with tiger bones are different; these people are born with a stronger skeletal foundation than ordinary people.

"They are stronger, have tougher bones and muscles, and are more durable. They have a huge advantage in head-on combat."

The young martial artist swallowed hard: "So, in a fight between martial artists of the same cultivation level, an ordinary Blood Transformation martial artist simply can't win?"

"It's not that I can't say I'm definitely outmatched." The bodyguard shook his head. "In martial arts combat, techniques, experience, and mentality are all important. But if both are at the peak of the Blood Refining stage, the physical foundation of someone born with tiger bones will definitely be a cut above that of an ordinary person."

"He can withstand a punch from someone."

"When he throws a punch back, others might not be able to withstand it."

1

These words made everyone in the hall feel a chill in their hearts.

Someone whispered, "No wonder Weiyuan Hall has been keeping it hidden. They're aiming to make a name for themselves in this year's martial arts competition!"

The thin-faced man said, "Those who have seen Li Huchen all say that when he walks, his shoulders are slightly hunched, and his eyes are gloomy, just like a tiger ready to devour its prey. If an ordinary martial artist stands in front of him, his aura would probably be weakened by three points before he even makes a move."

"This year's martial arts exam is really exciting!"

'

Someone counted on their fingers: "Fang Henian of Qianhe Martial Arts School is at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm. Li Huchen of Weiyuan Hall seems to have a natural tiger bone. If Shi Hao of Canglong Martial Arts School is also at the peak of the Breakthrough Realm, he could also compete."

"This time, the martial arts exam is going to be incredibly competitive, with everyone fighting tooth and nail for it!"

As everyone spoke of this, their tone inevitably became more wistful.

Chixia County is neither very big nor very small.

However, in each martial arts examination, no more than ten people can actually make it onto the list.

Upstairs, by the railing, a guest held a wine cup and listened for a while before suddenly chuckling softly, "It seems that this year's martial arts examination will be much more interesting than in previous years."

A companion chimed in, "It looks beautiful, but for those young martial artists, it's a path to life and death."

""

The man looked out the window, slowly finished his drink, and whispered, "On the road to success, there is no path without bloodshed."
