In a world of chaos and demonic warfare, the Axe Gang reigns supreme.

Before returning home, Bai Ye went to the wasteland again and buried the water ghost's remains.

He then went to the altar again, hoping to find something else, or perhaps some other treasures.

The result was not fruitful, which made Bai Ye feel a little regretful.

He had already experienced the power of the Black Lotus Blood Dragon Robe, which had repeatedly brought him tremendous help.

After returning to their lodgings with Biaozi, Bai Ye went to the training room and had Biaozi and the monk shoot him with muskets.

"Yoko, you're not kidding?"

"Yes! Even if you've mastered Iron Shirt, practicing with a firearm is too risky."

Upon hearing that Bai Ye wanted to use a firearm to temper his body, Biaozi and the monk were immediately alarmed and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Bai Ye ignored Biaozi and the other man's advice and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'm sure I'm confident in doing this. Just keep shooting at me."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Biaozi and the monk, though still uneasy, did as he was told.

Soon, the sound of muskets firing echoed through the courtyard.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Bai Luo and Huang Jiu were immediately alerted and ran out of their respective houses.

When they saw Biaozi and the monk holding muskets and firing continuously at Bai Ye, the two of them froze on the spot.

Bai Ye's cultivation methods are becoming increasingly illogical.

Bai Ye actually used the firearms that everyone else avoided to practice the "Iron Shirt" technique. Could he be any more insane?

Most importantly, Bai Ye was shot dozens of times by muskets. Although he had some injuries, they were all superficial.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"What kind of freak is this kid?!"

Seeing Bai Ye's extraordinary performance, Huang Jiu couldn't help but sigh, and unconsciously began to wonder: "Could it be that his cultivation method is the true method of 'Iron Shirt,' and the reason why he has cultivated so quickly?"

Amidst the shock of the crowd, Bai Ye raised his hand to Biaozi and the other man, signaling that they could stop.

Then, Bai Ye sat cross-legged on the ground and began cultivating the Iron Shirt technique, entering a very mysterious state.

thump...

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a large bell striking suddenly emanated from Bai Ye's body.

Then, everyone saw a blood-red bell phantom appear outside Bai Ye's body, radiating a terrifying pressure.

"Xinwu?"

Seeing the blood-red bell phantom outside Bai Ye's body, Huang Jiu frowned, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.

In his understanding, only martial artists who cultivate new martial arts can exhibit the kind of performance that Bai Ye has.

However, Huang Jiu quickly shook his head, denying his guess: "This is definitely not new martial arts. This kid's current performance is probably the true state of ancient martial arts."

"Is it because ancient martial arts practitioners cultivate slowly that they have really gone down the wrong path, resulting in a situation where their cultivation is twice as difficult but half as effective?"

Under the shocked gazes of Huang Jiu and the others, Bai Ye took out a few blood lotus seeds and swallowed them directly into his mouth.

As soon as the blood lotus seed entered Bai Ye's mouth, it transformed into streams of pure blood energy, which quickly merged into his body.

Subsequently, the aura emanating from Bai Ye suddenly surged, generating an astonishing burst of energy.

"Yoko has broken through again?"

"He's already broken through to the mid-stage of Ming Jin?"

"I wonder how much his strength will improve after he breaks through to the mid-stage of Ming Jin."

……

Sensing the change in Bai Ye's aura, Huang Jiu and the others were shocked, but also felt a strong sense of anticipation.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Bai Ye took out two more blood lotus seeds and swallowed them to make up for the emptiness in his body.

As the two blood lotus seeds entered his body, Bai Ye clearly felt that his body was becoming stronger again.

About fifteen minutes later, Bai Ye emerged from his cultivation state, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes: "So it turns out that by perfecting the Iron Shirt Technique, one can comprehend its true essence, which actually originates from the Golden Bell Cover Technique."

"According to the progress of the Golden Bell Cover cultivation, I am currently in the Iron Skin Realm. The next step is to cultivate Copper Bones."

When Huang Jiu and the others saw Bai Ye's height, they were all stunned and stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

"Yo...Yoko, your height..."

"Xiaoye is now taller than twice my height."

"I estimate it to be about three and a half meters."

……

While Bai Luo and the others were surprised, they immediately went to get a ruler to help Bai Ye measure his height.

Before long, Biaozi and the others were all looking bewildered, intimidated by Bai Ye's height.

Bai Ye's current height has indeed reached 3.5 meters, completely exceeding the range of normal people.

Bai Ye was also troubled by her current height.

He is now completely different from ordinary people, which causes great inconvenience to his travel.

At this moment, as Bai Ye was troubled, he thought of the Hundred Transformations Sect's inheritance, "The Hundred Transformations Secret Technique".

Among the techniques recorded in "The Hundred Transformations Secret Techniques" is "Bone Shrinking Technique," which, when mastered, allows one to shrink their body size.

It is said that if one masters the "Bone Shrinking Technique" to a minor degree, one can transform an adult's body into that of a child.

In this way, as long as Bai Ye masters the "Bone Shrinking Technique" to a minor level, wouldn't he be able to return to his normal form?

Bai Ye thought of this, so he began to practice the "Bone Shrinking Technique" and tried to change his body shape.

The basics of "Bone Shrinking Technique" are not difficult to learn; you only need to freely disengage your joints and simply change your body shape.

With the blessing of the Golden Dragon, Bai Ye's comprehension improved significantly, and he quickly mastered the "Bone Shrinking Technique," easily and naturally opening his joints to change his body shape.

However, this change is limited, and the loosened joints will also render Bai Ye unable to fight.

While the basics of "Bone Shrinking Technique" are not difficult, reaching a high level of proficiency is extremely challenging, causing many practitioners of the Hundred Transformations School to get stuck at this stage.

To master the "Bone Shrinking Technique," one needs to temper their bones, making them both strong and flexible.

"In that case, it's possible to cultivate it simultaneously with the Golden Bell Shield, which might yield unexpected benefits."

With this thought in mind, Bai Ye immediately immersed himself in cultivation, simultaneously practicing the "Bone Shrinking Technique" and the "Golden Bell Cover."

Seeing that Bai Ye was alright, everyone left him alone and went back to cultivate.

Bai Ye's terrifying talent put pressure on them all. They didn't want to be left far behind by Bai Ye and hoped to keep up with his pace.

For the next few days, Bai Ye remained immersed in cultivation, paying no attention to anything outside.

After three days of tireless training, Bai Ye made rapid progress. Not only did he break through in "Bone Shrinking Skill" and "Golden Bell Cover", but he also made significant progress in "Three and a Half Moves", "Thirty-Six Styles of Whip Kick", and "Bull Strength".

In particular, Bai Ye also grasped the essence of the "Three and a Half Moves" technique, realizing its martial arts origin from the "Nine Slashes of Asura," and mastered the "Nine Slashes of Asura" technique to perfection.

Now, when Bai Ye unleashes the "Nine Slashes of Asura," the force of a single axe strike reaches a terrifying eight thousand jin.

Seeing the power of his axe strike, Bai Ye knew that almost no one below the Ming Jin level could withstand it head-on.

Of course, besides the improvement in strength, what truly surprised Bai Ye was the breakthrough in his cultivation of the "Bone Shrinking Technique".

After undergoing bone reduction surgery, his height has returned to around 2.5 meters.

Although such a height still makes him stand out in a crowd, he doesn't look like an oddity.

Having successfully changed his physique, Bai Ye no longer wanted to stay at home and planned to visit the Axe Gang and have a chat with Lu Ming and the others.

Several days have passed, and Lu Ming and the others have not been able to contact him, so they don't know how things are progressing.
