Longevity Begins with Internal Organs

Zhao Ya stood still, feeling the skin all over his body constantly changing.

He had heard from his master and second senior brother that the Skin Grinding in the Fourth Realm is a continuous process.

For those with a solid foundation, this process lasts longer.

For those with average foundation, or who forcefully advanced using shortcuts, the Skin Grinding process would be very short.

Do not underestimate this difference.

The duration of Skin Grinding is directly related to the level of strength upon entering the Fourth Realm.

It is even directly related to whether Blood Exchange can be successfully done later, leading to advancement to the Fifth Realm.

One could say that the Fourth Realm Skin Grinding is the first filter in Martial Dao cultivation.

Those without sufficient talent, or who attempt to take shortcuts, will be filtered out.

Only those with true resilience and perseverance can pass this test.

And Zhao Ya's Skin Grinding process continued for a full half hour without showing any signs of stopping.

So Zhao Ya simply ignored it, instead starting to practice the Great Vajra Fist.

As they say, one breakthrough leads to wider horizons.

In the Third Realm, although Zhao Ya could perform the Great Vajra Fist with flair,

it was only after truly entering the Fourth Realm that Zhao Ya understood what a true Earth-Standing Vajra was, and what Demon-Slaying Power meant.

Boom!

Zhao Ya punched out, and where the fist wind passed, a large hole was blasted into the wall several meters away.

Brick debris scattered, the largest no bigger than a teacup, showing its great power.

Zhao Ya was a bit dumbfounded.

He had no idea it would be this powerful.

At that moment, Zui'Er, who had heard the noise, walked into the courtyard. Upon seeing Zhao Ya, he was startled.

"Ya, what's happened to you?"

"What's wrong?"

"Look in the mirror quickly."

Zhao Ya picked up a mirror and saw a layer of dead skin peeling off his face and neck, hanging on him, looking quite terrifying.

Zhao Ya pinched a corner and gently peeled it off.

The dead skin came off easily, revealing the smooth and jade-like skin below, without even a hint of pores.

"Zui'Er!"

"Hmm?"

"Get me some clothes, I need to take a bath!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Ya finished bathing and stood in front of the mirror examining his body.

At this point, all the dead skin had been washed off, revealing the new skin beneath.

The smooth and jade-like skin was flawless, coupled with the chiseled muscle lines, creating a strong visual impact.

At least Zui'Er, who brought the clothes in, blushed instantly upon seeing it and couldn't help but steal glances, thinking to himself.

Ya's physique is really good, and he seems even more handsome than before.

At this moment, Zhao Ya was also very satisfied because it was only after finishing the bath that his Skin Grinding gradually ended.

The entire process lasted more than an hour.

If this were to be told, it would probably drop a lot of jaws.

After all, the Skin Grinding for typical Martial Artists lasts no more than three to five minutes; even for those with extraordinary talent, twenty to thirty minutes would be the max.

No one else had a Skin Grinding process that lasted over an hour like Zhao Ya's.

And after completing the Skin Grinding, Zhao Ya felt as if he had been reborn, his entire body filled with boundless strength.

"Panel!"

Zhao Ya silently mouthed in his heart.
