From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

When Zhang Yu heard Sima Shu mention Ye Ditian, his eyes narrowed slightly. He dared to leave Lingyin Academy because of his master Shi Cangyue's protection and his confidence in his own strength.

I took a look at the system panel.

[Master-Apprentice Value: 3001 points]

The mentor-apprentice value increases by 370 points per day, and a total of 2590 points are added over seven days. Combined with the original mentor-apprentice value, the total value is now 3001 points.

"That's enough to cultivate the third level of the Rock-Stone-Turning-Mountain Technique to perfection. Then I can directly open my dantian, generate true qi, and become a True Qi Realm martial artist," Zhang Yu thought to himself.

Opening the dantian and generating true qi is extremely difficult and life-threatening for others, but for Zhang Yu it's just a matter of practice.

As long as his master-disciple value is high enough, he can become a True Qi Realm martial artist at any time.

[Moving with the Wind + Jade Skin and Golden Bones + Shattered True Meaning + Iron Soul]

Zhang Yu was pondering whether his trump cards could put him to the test against Sima Zheng.

"Judging from our exchange just now, I'm not without a fighting chance," Zhang Yu made a rough assessment.

Sima Zheng sized up Zhang Yu, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Shi Cangyue, a master of the Great Perfection of the Gang Qi Realm, is a top expert in the Western Wilderness Continent and a direct descendant of the Shi family, a thousand-year-old clan.

The Ye family patriarch was injured by Shi Cangyue because of Zhang Yu's matter, and this matter is already known to all the major families.

Zhang Yu was also sizing up Sima Zheng, feeling a bit aggrieved. He had been called a dog by Sima Shu for no reason, and now he was waiting for Sima Zheng's judgment.

"Damn it! The worst that can happen is death. I'd rather die than be scared to death. Besides, I might not lose with my current trump cards."

"System, give me some points."

[Rock Solidification Technique, Level 3 (Perfect 1/20000)]

The third level of the technique was directly upgraded to perfection, and Zhang Yu felt a power in his blood beginning to nourish his internal organs.

He had been nourished twice by Qingfeng Zhuang Gong and Huxiao Tiebushan, and he had also consumed a drop of 500-year-old stalactite.

The Rock-Mountain Transformation Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a profound-grade technique, as it can even nourish and strengthen the internal organs and bone marrow once again.

A mysterious life force flowed through his internal organs, and Zhang Yu could feel his internal organs becoming stronger.

The strength of the internal organs leads to a more refined and pure Qi and blood, and this powerful Qi and blood has already given birth to the rudiments of true Qi.

Click!

Zhang Yu lowered his head and gently clenched his fist, increasing his strength by ten percent.

The next second, he raised his head and looked at Sima Zheng: "If you dare to lay a hand on my men, then try taking one of my moves."

【With the wind】

The voice arrived, and the person arrived.

Without a word, Zhang Yu appeared in front of Sima Zheng in an instant.

【The true meaning of brokenness】

A punch of Shattering Essence was thrown towards Sima Zheng. As the fist was thrown, the surrounding air seemed to be sucked into a vacuum, collapsing inch by inch, carrying a trace of the power of Shattering Essence.

Sima Zheng was shocked. He did not expect Zhang Yu to dare to attack him first, even though he was a True Qi Realm martial artist.

"How dare you!" Sima Zheng roared in fury after his initial shock: "Today I'll show you just how big the difference is between a Transformation Realm martial artist and a True Qi Realm martial artist."

He threw the same punch.

He wanted to cripple Zhang Yu, so he used all his strength to show him what a true genius is.

boom!

Their fists collided.

Zhang Yu felt a powerful force surging from his fist towards his arm. If he weren't made of jade skin and golden bones, his entire arm might have shattered instantly.

【Iron Soul】

Swish!

Suddenly, a black light flashed across Zhang Yu's entire right arm, and a trace of the true essence of iron adhered to his arm.

"Aaaaah... Go to hell!" Zhang Yu roared.

With Iron Soul's enhanced arm, the power increased even further, and with a bang, the originally evenly matched collision turned into Sima Zheng being sent flying.

Click!

Sima Zheng's body crashed through the wooden wall of the teahouse and fell directly from the second floor.

Zhang Yu originally intended to chase after them immediately, but the simultaneous use of the Shattered True Meaning and Iron Soul at full power greatly depleted his soul power, and his brain was already experiencing a sharp, needle-like pain.

"Damn it, I must make up for this weakness as soon as possible and find a method to cultivate soul power," Zhang Yu thought to himself.

He then turned to look at the dumbfounded Sima Shu.

Sima Shu stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. Sima Zheng, who had always been invincible since childhood, had actually been defeated by a mere martial artist at the Transformation Realm.

"This...this is impossible, I must be dreaming." Sima Shu simply couldn't accept it.

Until Zhang Yu walked up to her, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up.

"What did you just call me?"

"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

Zhang Yu's hand was like an iron claw, gripping Sima Shu's neck so tightly that she couldn't speak or breathe, her face turning bright red.

His limbs struggled weakly, and fear filled his eyes.

Sima Rui, who had been equally stunned, finally came to his senses. He immediately stepped forward and pleaded with Zhang Yu, "Senior Brother Zhang, please have mercy! Sima Shu is the clan leader's only daughter, and the clan leader is a Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist."

"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Yu turned his head and glared at Sima Rui.

"No, I wouldn't dare. I just want to tell Senior Brother Zhang that Sima Shu's life is worthless, and there's no need to risk it for her," Sima Rui said.

Large beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead. If Sima Shu died here, he might not survive either; the clan chief would definitely not spare him.

"Senior brother, why don't we teach this bitch a lesson?" Li Feifei stepped forward and advised.

The Sima family's ancestor at the Gangqi Realm is still alive and not to be trifled with.

Zhang Yu glanced at Li Feifei: "She's not someone to mess with, but do you think I'm someone to mess with? She dared to call me a dog, and she dared to have Sima Zheng kill me. She should be prepared to die."

Click!

Sima Shu's neck was broken. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe Zhang Yu dared to kill her, even in death.

His gaze gradually became unfocused, and his limbs stopped struggling. He was dead!

thump!

Upon seeing Sima Shu's neck snapped, Sima Rui collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over..."

Li Feifei was also taken aback and covered her mouth with her hand. She never expected that Zhang Yu would dare to kill Sima Shu.

"Help me up, let's go," Zhang Yu said to Li Feifei.

His soul power was exhausted, and his steps were a little heavy.

Li Feifei quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Yu, and the two hurried downstairs.

"Senior brother, we must return to Lingyin Academy immediately. You killed Sima Shu, and now only Elder Shi can protect you," Li Feifei said.

"It will take at least six days to return to Lingyin Academy, which may not be enough time," Zhang Yu said.

After killing Sima Shu, he gradually calmed down and began to think about how to handle the aftermath.

Zhang Yu had no regrets about killing Sima Shu. These arrogant martial arts families treated ordinary people like dogs, killing and cursing them at will, while ordinary people could only swallow their anger because they couldn't afford to offend them due to their powerful backgrounds.

Shit!

I will overturn the entire Western Wilderness sooner or later and make everyone abide by my rules.

"What should we do then?" Li Feifei asked anxiously.

"Let me find a place to rest for a while," Zhang Yu said.

"Our family has a secret ancestral chamber that only my father knows about. Senior brother, you can hide inside," Li Feifei said after thinking for a moment.

"Wouldn't my hiding in your Li family cause trouble for the entire Li family?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Our Li family has been operating in Fengque City for hundreds of years. Although we are gradually declining now, it won't be so easy for the Sima family to destroy us. We can hold out for ten days or half a month without any problem," Li Feifei said.
