Chapter 19: Improving Strength
Since I want to test a skill, I will naturally choose the cheapest one. Even so, this 'Jade Bone Skill' also cost 30 contribution points.
A 'Chain Iron Arm Armor', also known as the common 'Iron Fist Gloves', Han Yi learned from the lesson of the battle against the 'Giant Spider' to prevent the embarrassing situation of losing the weapon and being unable to break the defense, and spent 10 contribution points.
He also exchanged for a 'Fine Steel Sword', which cost 5 contribution points.
"It's really easy to spend money but hard to make money..." Han Yi left the exchange place with a painful look on his face. In a blink of an eye, 45 contribution points were gone like water.
However, there is a reward for every effort. Han Yi glanced at himself. Now with the gloves in his hands and the sword on his waist, his value has changed from '10~15' with bare hands to '16~25'!
"It should be much easier to deal with the 'Giant Spider' now..." He thought to himself.
'Jade Bone Gong', the bones of the body, the foundation of the human body, the source of strength, the bones of those who have practiced it to perfection are as transparent as jade, and their strength and defense are greatly increased...
First, use the blood and qi to stimulate the bones of the legs...
"This 'Jade Bone Gong' technique seems to be somewhat similar to the 'bone refining period' that requires the tempering of the human body." Han Yi thought in the training field.
"Let's try it first!"
With the promotion of blood and qi, he felt a stream of heat flowing in the bones of his legs, as if there was a hot spring flowing, warm and comfortable.
[Realm]: Early stage of bone refining (13/100)
[Technique]: Yang Yuan Gong (incomplete, skilled 2/20, can be improved); Jade Bone Gong (ordinary level, entry 1/10, can be improved)
Just get started? Han Yi was a little surprised.
But when he turned his head and thought about it, he was now in the bone refining stage, and his body bones had already been tempered by qi and blood several times, just like asking a master of refining to forge the most ordinary swords. Under the high-level view, the progress was naturally amazing.
"System, add points!" Han Yi's thoughts turned.
New memories began to surge in his mind.
He seemed to have become a martial arts disciple. During the day, in the front yard of the martial arts hall, fellow disciples kept beating his body bones with wooden sticks. In the middle of the night, on the bed in the house, he took "Blood Activating Pills", "Jade Bone Pills", and "Body Tempering Paste" internally and externally, taking a two-pronged approach.
In this way, the boy persisted in practicing for a long time, and after receiving several teachings from the teacher, finally, a feeling of becoming stronger came from the inside out of his body.
He succeeded!
He finally mastered the "Jade Bone Skill" within a few months!
At this time, Han Yi gradually woke up. He clearly felt that there was a trace of heat flowing in his limbs, as if he was being caressed by the sunshine in the spring, and his whole body was warm and comfortable.
If he could look inside himself at this time, he would find that his bones all over his body began to slowly change and emit a soft fluorescence like white jade!
This is exactly the characteristic that will appear when the "Jade Bone Skill" is practiced to a small level of success - "bones like jade"!
Han Yi looked at his own values, which changed from "10~15" with bare hands to "12~17".
But he frowned, as if he was not satisfied with this result!
"Although my stats have increased, my cultivation has not changed..."
Han Yi's mind moved, and the panel appeared in front of him
[Realm]: Early stage of bone refining (13/100)
[Kung Fu]: Yang Yuan Gong (incomplete, skilled 2/20, can be improved); Yu Gu Gong (ordinary level, characteristics: strong bones, minor success 1/20, can be improved)
[Martial arts]: Collapsing Mountain Fist (ordinary level, characteristics: crushing stones, minor success 8/20, can be improved); Basic Sword Skills (ordinary level, characteristics: sword dancing, minor success 2/20, can be improved); Flying Swallow Legs (low-grade yellow level, entry 6/10, can be improved)
[Yuanli value]: 31
"Sure enough, it seems that relying on the system to practice multiple skills and quickly improve the cultivation is not feasible. My idea is still too naive!" Han Yi smiled bitterly.
But it is not without gain. At least Han Yi has figured out that in improving the cultivation, only adding points to the highest proficiency skills will have an effect!
Moreover, this 'Jade Bone Skill' is not useless. He feels that the characteristic of 'Jade Bone Skill' - strong bones seem to improve the body's defense and strength.
This can also be seen from the comprehensive strength of '12~17' after the change.
"Although the comprehensive strength of '12~17' is already considered strong compared with the guard team disciples of the same period as me, but..."
Han Yi thought of the comprehensive strength of 'Human-faced Giant Spider' as high as '50-50'. "If it weren't for the system being able to absorb that layer of black air, and my good luck, the 'Molotov cocktail' I prepared was effective, I'm afraid I would have become a pile of bones in the mine cave!"
And the system seems to have special effects only on things related to demons, and ordinary warriors can only rely on their own hard power to deal with it.
He still remembers the last time those bandits attacked. In a short period of time, he can't cultivate to the strength of Captain Li Feng's '60~70', but he doesn't want to be the weakest one in the team.
"The mission will be carried out in a few days. If we encounter such unexpected situations again..." Han Yi's forehead tightened, forming the shape of a "川".
"If there is a little accident during the mission, it will be too late to regret. We must try our best to make it foolproof!"
"Keep adding more!"
Han Yi added 12 points of Yuanli to the ‘Bengshan Fist’ in one breath. After all, the Bengshan Fist was still his most powerful martial art at present.
As the points were added, more memories began to emerge in his mind.
The boy who had practiced the ‘Bengshan Fist’ to a small degree was not arrogant. He ate, slept, and practiced as usual. The only difference was that the tool he used for practice had changed from a wooden stake to iron sand.
The hot flames licked the bottom of the iron sand pot fiercely, making the iron sand, which was already extremely hard and beyond ordinary iron, even hotter. Under the high temperature, the iron sand even emitted a faint red light.
However, the boy did not hesitate to face this kind of torture. He punched again and again...
In this way, one month, two months, and three years passed. Under a sudden outburst of the boy, the iron sand actually exploded!
Even when the boy punched, a shallow crack appeared on the bluestone ground!
[Realm]: Early stage of bone refining (18/100)
[Martial arts]: Collapsing Mountain Fist (Ordinary level, characteristics: crushing stones, cracking the earth, great success); Basic Sword Skills (Ordinary level, characteristics: dancing sword, minor success 2/20, can be improved); Flying Swallow Kick (low-grade yellow level, entry-level 6/10, can be improved)
[Elementary Force]: 19
Han Yi came back to his senses and found that his arms had grown bigger than before, and even made a sound like metal and stone when knocked.
Outside the camp, in front of a large black iron stone about ten feet in size, Han Yi secretly inhaled.
Suddenly, the muscles in his arms swelled again, which were obviously much larger than the muscles in other parts of his body. They were as thick as the thighs of ordinary people. If you look closely, you will even find that there seem to be some unknown particles between the muscles in his arms, giving off a rock-like luster.
‘Breaking Mountain Fist—Cracking the Earth! ’
Bang!
A muffled sound that was not very obvious sounded.
The stone was motionless, and then a gust of wind blew.
The black iron stone suddenly made a series of crackling noises, and then it broke into pieces and turned into rubble after a loud bang!
"This power..." Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The Black Rock Mountain Range is named after the abundance of black iron stones. This black iron stone is heavy and extremely hard. A piece the size of a human head weighs more than 100 kilograms, and it is said that it is difficult for non-Blood Refining Stage warriors to break it.
Han Yi glanced at his own values, which had changed from '12~17' to '15~31'. Who would have thought that the strength of the 'Mountain Collapse Fist' would be so greatly improved after the Great Completion!
As a mortal-level martial arts, the 'Mountain Collapse Fist' is probably not a few people who can reach the Great Completion realm after three years of hard practice except for Han Yi's system addition!
"However, mortal-level martial arts are still mortal-level after all..." Han Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "'Mountain Collapse Fist' seems to be unable to improve, and Great Completion is already the limit!"
"But now it should be safer to perform the mission with my current strength..."
