From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

"Give me 306 years to fully master the Stone-Shattering Fist!"

hum...

The years 306 began to flash through Zhang Yu's mind. His Shattering Stone Fist, which had already broken through its limit once, had reached its third breakthrough after 306 years of tireless training.

Second breakthrough: The Crushing Stone Fist was upgraded to a third-rate technique, and the hidden force killing move - Great Avalanche was comprehended.

Three breakthroughs: Cultivating the true meaning of martial arts - the true meaning of shattering.

Zhang Yu was in excruciating pain throughout his body, and his soul was also aching as if pierced by needles.

A tremendous force was reshaping his flesh and bones, and a mysterious force was pulling at his soul.

He clenched his teeth, remaining silent, his entire body feeling as if it were being gnawed by ants, undergoing a tremendous transformation.

Fifteen minutes later, the transformation was finally complete. A large amount of black, oily grease, emitting an unbearable stench, oozed from Zhang Yu's pores.

He hurriedly went to the nearby stream to wash himself, then quietly looked at his current system data.

Name: Zhang Yu

[Realm Level: Peak of Dark Force]

[Martial Arts Techniques: Three Limit Breaks with the Crushing Stone Fist, Ming Jin Killing Move: Mountain Collapse, An Jin Killing Move: Great Avalanche, True Martial Arts Intent: True Intent of Shattering]

He had already mastered the Stone-Shattering Fist, reducing it to a third-rate martial art.

Third-rate martial arts, when mastered to a high level, make one a Ming Jin martial artist; when perfected, one can comprehend An Jin.

However, only second-rate and first-rate martial arts can achieve the level of "Transformation Force" because second-rate and first-rate martial arts techniques not only have moves, but also stance training and breathing methods.

To achieve the level of "Transformation of Strength" requires cultivating the internal organs and bone marrow to replenish blood, and necessitates stance training and breathing techniques. One cannot comprehend it simply by relying on time.

Moreover, his knowledge of martial arts is not extensive.

However, Zhang Yu's 306 years of hard training were not in vain. He mastered the Shattering Stone Fist to an extraordinary level, touched the origin of martial arts, and comprehended the true meaning of the Shattering Martial Arts.

The true meaning of martial arts is so difficult that no martial artist in the lower three realms of Ming Jin, An Jin, and Hua Jin can comprehend it. Only those who reach the middle three realms have a chance to touch upon the true meaning of martial arts.

"The true meaning of shattering?" Zhang Yu was a little curious. He got up, circulated his energy, and punched a tree as thick as a person next to him.

"The true meaning of Shatter!"

boom!

With a soft sound, his fist struck the tree trunk.

The next second, a buzzing sound... the tree emitted an invisible wave.

Instead of being cut in half, the tree, which was as thick as a person, was broken into pieces as thick as a finger.

Hundreds of wooden sticks are all the same thickness.

hiss……

Zhang Yu gasped in surprise; he hadn't expected the true meaning of martial arts to be so powerful.

This was a manifestation of subtle force with a trace of the power of shattering origin. Afterwards, his body swayed, his head ached, and he had exhausted his mental energy.

The true essence of martial arts also consumes mental energy.

"Even a martial artist at the Transformation Realm would die if they took a hit from my True Martial Intent," Zhang Yu thought to himself with secret delight.

[Ding, system replacement countdown has ended. System replacement is now in progress.]

Before he could even enjoy his happiness, the system's voice rang in his mind.

"System, please give me an awesome system. I'll add stats, let you draw cards, simulate gameplay, and let you spend real money," Zhang Yu prayed in his heart.

[Ding, system upgrade complete, now Holy Master System]

"What?"

"What the hell is the Saint Master System?"

Zhang Yu looked completely stunned.

"System, could you please switch to another one?"

"System Master?"

"Fuck your grandpa!"

Zhang Yu cursed loudly, but the system completely ignored him.

After he finished cursing, he finally calmed down and checked the Holy Master System.

1. Your disciple's cultivation is your cultivation.

[2. The Eye of Insight allows you to examine detailed cultivation aptitude, going beyond a general distinction between superior, middle, and inferior innate talent.]

3. A martial artist with internal strength can take on three apprentices.

"That's it? System, are you kidding me? No way there's a ten-thousand-fold return? Is this system not fully updated yet?"

"System Master?"

"Hold!"

Zhang Yu gave up resisting.

At this moment, Li Yue, who was sitting not far from him, looked very nervous because he noticed that Zhang Yu was talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone, but there was no one around.

"Did the yellow wolf damage his brain?"

"It's alright. If he really loses his mind, I'll take care of him for the rest of my life." Li Yue made up her mind. She was determined to repay Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu calmed down and comforted himself: "Having a system is better than not having one."

Then, in order to verify this Saint Master System, he activated his Eye of Truth and looked at Li Yue, who was not far away.

Name: Li Yue

Gender: Female

[Age: 13] (Huang Lang is indeed a beast. Letting him die like this is too easy for him. Zhang Yu cursed under his breath when he saw this.)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Mediocre] (Poor, Mediocre, Good, Excellent, Outstanding, Extraordinary)

[Comprehension: Good]

[Destiny: Forged through countless trials, stubborn, and unwavering]

"Huh? Cultivation aptitude and comprehension levels are divided into such detailed categories, what is this Destiny?" Zhang Yu asked curiously, then clicked on the Destiny section and saw the explanation inside.

[Refined Through Thousands of Trials: Those with this destiny can eventually reach the ultimate power of a skill by continuously practicing it.]

"Hiss... This destiny is so strong. It's a pity that Li Yue's cultivation aptitude is only mediocre, and her comprehension isn't very good either." Zhang Yu thought to himself, feeling a little regretful.

As for obsession and perseverance, he didn't look into it; it's easy to understand as just the literal meaning.

This also explains why Li Yue kept following him, saying she wanted to repay him; it was due to her obsessive personality.

It is said that only those who are stubborn and persevering, possessing a destiny forged through countless trials, can ultimately reach the end.

"So, Li Yue is a little genius? What a pity, what a pity, her aptitude and comprehension aren't very good." Zhang Yu sighed again.

For the rest of the time, he neither chased Li Yue away nor paid any attention to her, nor did he mention taking her as his disciple.

Zhang Yu is not a saint; he is currently on the run and can only look after himself.

If the other party can keep up, then they can; if they can't, then it means they have no master-disciple relationship. At the same time, Zhang Yu also wants to see how accurate the system's Eye of Truth really is.

Three days later, Zhang Yu broke the silence and took the initiative to speak with Li Yue. During those three days, they passed through a town, and Zhang Yu used his Eye of Truth to examine hundreds of people, but ultimately failed to see a single person with a destined destiny.

The vast majority of ordinary people have low aptitude for cultivation, low comprehension, and no destiny.

Only then did he realize just how amazing Li Yue's three destinies and excellent comprehension were.

"Li Yue, I'm going to Cangmang City, which is three thousand miles away. If you want to go, I can take you with me." Zhang Yu sat down next to Li Yue and handed her a meat bun he had bought in town.

Okay, he's just an ordinary person. For the sake of the Saint Master System, he's no longer aloof.

After all, Li Yue seems to be a little genius now.

"My benefactor, I'll go wherever you go," Li Yue said as she took the meat bun and ate it.

Zhang Yu nodded.

A commotion came from behind, and from a distance, it looked like a group of refugees were walking this way.

In the past three days, Zhang Yu and his companion have already met several groups of refugees.

The Cangmang City he was going to was near the Ten Thousand Mountains, a chaotic place, a melting pot of all sorts of people, and a place where killing was constant, making it the perfect place for a wanted person like him.
