The moon is bright but sparse with stars.

Under the clear moonlight, Lin Zheyu closed his eyes, frowning as if enduring some immense pain.

Within his body, a vast mysterious power was guiding a tremendous medicinal energy surging through.

After resting for more than an hour and recovering from the pain, he began a new round of enhancement.

During the first enhancement, he used two units of Source Power, and the medicinal energy of three doses of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder was completely exhausted.

The Qi Blood within his body was restored to about ninety percent.

This enhancement was carried out when the Qi Blood within his body was abundant; if he had just broken through the limit, two units of Source Power and three doses of Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder would not have been enough, which would lead to blood depletion.

Using the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon to temper the body and transform it consumes more energy than imagined.

After a few breaths.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, mentally exhausted to the extreme.

He felt dizzy, and the pain from the intense training in the consciousness space still lingered, as if turning into hallucinations haunting his spirit.

“Hiss——”

“I can’t take it anymore, my mind seems unable to withstand this.”

Lin Zheyu paused for a moment to recover.

Body Refining Techniques are extremely difficult to cultivate; the body must endure inhuman torment to further strengthen an already strong physique.

Because of the extreme pain from the torment, very few people cultivate Body Refining Techniques.

Lin Zheyu made some modifications to the cultivation technique, significantly increasing the difficulty.

Taking advantage of the ability to recover infinitely in the consciousness space, he increased the cultivation difficulty based on the original technique.

The difficulty increased by at least tenfold, and the pain also increased tenfold.

He did not use medicinal baths and ointments for reinforcement while cultivating in the consciousness space; if he hadn’t increased the cultivation difficulty, the lack of medicinal baths and ointments as a supplement would make the improvement much slower.

The Source Power required to cultivate to Perfection would also multiply.

[Heavenly Dao rewards diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 3

Skills:

Gale Slash (Perfection)

Golden Swan Skill (Ninth Layer 100%)

Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon (Second Layer 45%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 100%)

“Using two units of Source Power, I’ve advanced to forty-five percent of the second layer’s progress; once five units are used up, it’s just enough to enter the third layer.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness. As expected, the accumulated Source Power was just enough to enter the third layer.

This Body Refining Technique is said to grant a physique as formidable as that of a Bone Marrow Refining Realm ferocious beast upon reaching Perfection.

That’s the physique of a ferocious beast, far beyond what a Martial Artist in the Marrow Refining Realm can compare to.

Though the physique of different Bone Marrow Refining Realm ferocious beasts varies, some higher, some lower, even the lowest surpasses human Martial Artists in the Marrow Refining Realm by a large margin.

The effect of the cultivation technique is astonishing, but the difficulty is equally high, and an ordinary Martial Artist may not achieve it in a lifetime.

Lin Zheyu took out a dagger from beside him and sliced it across his arm.

He used ten percent of his strength, but it didn’t cut through.

Increasing the strength to fifty percent, he finally cut the skin.

This fifty percent strength is half of his total strength without using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill.

“The defense of my skin is getting stronger, more and more resembling a ferocious beast.” Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but marvel.

Three units of Source Power remain.

He estimated that after using it all to cultivate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon to the third layer, his defense could reach about eighty percent of Xiaohei’s level.

Lin Zheyu, without using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill, could at most cause Xiaohei some pain with a full-force strike.

Using an ordinary dagger with full force could only break its fur defenses.

Only by using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill could it pose any threat to him.

“After tirelessly improving, my defense has only reached eighty percent of Xiaohei’s level. The innate talent of ferocious beasts is indeed remarkable.”

Lin Zheyu felt somewhat envious of Xiaohei’s talent.

This little creature eats and sleeps all day, doesn’t have to work hard, and yet is so powerful.

Comparing people really drives one crazy.

Though Xiaohei is only at the Qi Blood Two Transformations, its speed and defense far exceed most ferocious beasts at the Qi Blood Four Transformations.

However, Xiaohei’s attack power is a bit weaker, similar to other ferocious beasts at the Qi Blood Two Transformations.

“Let’s leave the rest for tomorrow. The Blood Coagulation Powder I prepared isn’t enough, and my spirit has reached its limit.”

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

He didn’t want to improve at all right now.

The pain of breaking through the limit is only temporary, just a few hours.

But in the consciousness space, the endless training, tempering of the body, the pressure on the body, and the endured pain felt like it lasted for years.

Continuous, relentless.

Too terrifying.

…

…

The night grew deep.

The lights in Bafang City were still brightly lit.

In the late night, two uninvited guests arrived at the Ya Mansion.

“What is the meaning of your Senluo Temple!”

The middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the master’s seat spoke in a low voice.

There was a restrained but simmering anger in his low voice.

“Mr. Ya, you must be joking. It’s just normal business competition.” Ge Wuning said with a smile, sipping his tea.

He looked to be in his seventies, yet he addressed the man in his forties as Mr. Ya.

This might involve matters of power.

Perhaps the other man was indeed older than Ge Wuning.

After all, breaking through the Marrow Refining Realm could allow one to remold their bones and physique, becoming younger.

“Ha, is it necessary to send so many Martial Artists to cause trouble on my territory for normal business competition?”
