From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

Name: Yan Dao

Age: 38

[Cultivation Aptitude: Mediocre to Excellent]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

[Destiny Trait: Selfish, greedy and opportunistic]

[Physique: Berserker Battle Body (Initial Awakening)]

Yan Dao's original cultivation aptitude was mediocre, but now it has indeed become excellent, advancing two levels in a row.

However, his comprehension did not increase; when Niu Mancang awakened, his comprehension did not increase either.

"Berserker Battle Body (Awakening)? What does this mean?" Zhang Yu noticed something new on the system panel.

"System, what does 'initial awakening' mean?"

Zhang Yu hadn't had much hope; he'd just asked casually, knowing that the system, that bastard, usually ignored him.

Ding!

Surprisingly, the system answered this time.

The development of physical constitution is divided into three stages: initial awakening, solidification, and supernatural powers.

"Is that all? Would it kill you to explain further?" Zhang Yu silently gave the system the middle finger in his mind.

Hahaha……

The sound of Yan Dao laughing loudly reached my ears.

Yan Dao stood naked in the backyard, laughing loudly. He realized that he had unknowingly broken through the Transformation Realm barrier and become a Transformation Realm martial artist. Moreover, his understanding of the 36-Style Mountain-Splitting Saber Technique had reached a new level. He was confident that he could reach the peak of Transformation Realm within a year.

"Ah!" Li Yue quickly covered her eyes.

Zhang Yu glared at the laughing Yan Dao and kicked him into the house.

boom!

Whoosh!

Clang!

"You bastard, laughing with your bare butt exposed, you're disgracing your teacher. Get dressed and come find me!" Zhang Yu cursed.

Yan Dao, who had been full of ambition, was brought back to reality by Zhang Yu's kick. He got up, rubbed his waist, and then hurriedly went to put on his clothes.

"Yes, Master!"

A moment later, Yan Dao finished dressing and hurriedly ran to Zhang Yu.

thump!

This time, 38-year-old Yan Dao knelt before Zhang Yu willingly, and he was well aware of the changes in himself.

Previously, he had no hope for his martial arts path, but now he could clearly feel that his understanding of swordsmanship was innate, and he was full of confidence in his future martial arts path.

"I kowtow in gratitude to Master for your guidance; your disciple Yan Dao swears to follow you to the death!"

Bang bang bang!

Yan Dao kowtowed three times.

Zhang Yu tossed him a top-grade Blood Nourishing Pill and said, "Your physique is the Mad Blade Battle Body, which makes cultivating sword techniques twice as effective. This is only the initial awakening; there's still the Form Condensation and Divine Abilities to come. You need to carefully understand your future cultivation."

"Yes, Master!" Yan Dao accepted the top-grade Blood Nourishing Pill and replied respectfully.

"Take this top-grade Blood Nourishing Pill and consolidate your cultivation. Starting tomorrow, continue patrolling the streets," Zhang Yu said.

"yes!"

In the past few days, Niu Mancang has been putting out fires everywhere. The common people of Chengtian City no longer dare to violate the rules, but the aristocratic families, merchants, and some desperate people are challenging the three rules set by Zhang Yu in various ways.

The registration and record-keeping process has not yet been completed.

Fights and brawls also occur from time to time.

There is a hidden force waiting to see Chengtian Sect make a fool of itself.

Niu Mancang was able to suppress anyone who dared to violate the rules, but he was the only one who kept him busy.

Wen Hua and Li Mazi were only at the Inner Strength level. Chengtian City had many hidden Transformation Strength martial artists. We didn't know that before, but we discovered that there were quite a few Transformation Strength martial artists during this street clearing.

Wen Hua and Li Mazi encountered a fight between martial artists at the Transformation Realm, which they were unable to suppress, causing the prestige of the Chengtian Sect to gradually decline.

Now that Yan Dao has emerged from seclusion and his Mad Blade Battle Body has awakened, he has broken through the Transformation Realm barrier and become a Transformation Realm martial artist, which can alleviate the pressure on Niu Mancang.

"Remember this: on patrol tomorrow, if you see anyone violating the rules, no matter who it is, kill them on the spot."

"Yes, Master!" Yan Dao replied.

He was eager to try. With his increased strength and understanding of swordsmanship, Yan Dao couldn't wait to go out and find someone to fight.

After Zhang Yu finished instructing Yan Dao, he told him to go aside and consolidate his cultivation level. He then looked at Li Yue.

Li Yue is currently only at the mid-stage of Ming Jin. Her mediocre talent slows down her cultivation, but her destiny, forged through countless trials, allows her to gain a deeper understanding of Qingfeng Gong, and she is making progress every day.

Li Yue can now provide Zhang Yu with 31 mentor-apprentice points every day.

Zhang Yu was somewhat troubled about how to train Li Yue.

He currently possesses the Yellow-grade Ripple Technique, so logically, he should have Li Yue switch to cultivating the Ripple Technique.

However, Li Yue is too special. Her cultivation aptitude is mediocre. If she were to switch to the Yellow-grade Ripple Technique, she would have to start from scratch, wasting the previous year.

After countless trials and tribulations, I must start from scratch to understand and study the Ripple Technique.

"Li Yue, come here."

"Master, what's the matter?" Li Yue walked over.

"Li Yue, Master has a Yellow-grade cultivation technique here called Ripple Technique. It can be cultivated to the middle three realms. Do you want to switch to it?" Zhang Yu said, "Given your situation..."

He explained the situation in detail and left the decision to Li Yue herself.

Li Yue frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face: "Master, let me think about it."

"Hmm, take your time to think it over. There's no rush. Whether you switch cultivation now or wait until you become a Transformation Realm martial artist is up to you," Zhang Yu said gently.

……

In a row of wooden houses next to the Chengtian Sect's training ground, five girls, including Gu Yu, were assigned to one room.

The other four were women from small merchant families in Chengtian Sect, whose families ran small businesses in Chengtian City.

One shop ran a teahouse, another sold wontons, another sold rouge, and yet another ran a cloth shop.

People who run small businesses, even if they have some money, will focus all their efforts on raising their sons and simply don't have the money to raise their daughters.

This time, Chengtian Sect provided food, lodging, and free martial arts instruction, so the four of them were sent here by their families.

Small business owners are profit-driven and calculating; they're fools who won't take advantage of any opportunity. In reality, none of the four of them wanted to practice martial arts.

Only Gu Yu was desperately trying to learn martial arts.

The four isolated Gu Yu.

"Looking so poor, yet you come to practice martial arts? Don't kill yourself."

"Did you see how much rice she ate while we were eating? Five huge bowls! Was she starving?"

……

Several people openly mocked Gu Yu, making no attempt to hide it from her.

For the first time, Gu Yu ate her fill and lay in bed, feeling wonderful. Being able to eat her fill meant she could practice martial arts tomorrow—it was great!

As for the sarcastic remarks from the four people next to her, she pretended not to hear them.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Gu Yu and 300 other registered disciples were woken up.

"gather!"

"hurry up!"

The group dawdled until the whips struck them, at which point they finally began to move.

After gathering, they started running around Chengtian City.

"Listen up, everyone. Our Chengtian Sect provides you with food, lodging, and free martial arts instruction. We're not here for you to act like royalty. Get running! Anyone who can't finish in half an hour will be eliminated."

Snapped!

After a few lashes, the 300 men immediately went berserk and started running.

When Zhang Yu finished breakfast and leisurely arrived at the training ground, Gu Yu and the other three hundred people had already run a lap around Chengtian City, all panting heavily, some even lying on the ground.

"Get up and stand up straight, the sect leader is here." Zhao Dun whipped the person lying on the ground.

The three hundred registered disciples are usually managed by Zhao Dun and Xia Shuang. Neither of them are particularly talented and haven't yet reached the Ming Jin level, but the Cheng Tian Sect is desperately short of people, so they have to put them in charge of this area for now.

The martial arts were personally taught by Zhang Yu.
