NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10
In an instant, Lin Yuan was a bit dazed.
The legendary Golden Skin, Jade Bones that was more shocking than Copper Skin, Iron Bones, was achieved so easily?
If this news were to spread, anyone would think it’s a fantasy, extremely difficult to believe!
He let out a sigh.
Lin Yuan’s gaze moved and landed on his Dantian position.
There, a visible stream of Qi, like a vortex, slowly churned, pulling strands of Qi like small snakes circulating through the meridians.
This was indeed the symbol of the True Gang Realm―
The vortex!!
“Twenty-one years in total, breaking through from the third level of Blood Exchange to True Gang, the speed is indeed a bit slow, but to break the limit and forge Jade Bones, then everything is worth it!!”
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered.
Slaying demons could gain simulated lifespan, but Tenfold Sky could only be encountered and not sought.
In reality, no one would spend twenty years’ time for the vague and elusive rumor of “Jade Bones”!
At this moment, Lin Yuan roughly figured out the rules of the simulator.
In essence, it was four words―
Pursue perfection!
As long as one hasn’t reached the pinnacle of the current realm, they will continue to refine until successfully breaking the limit, only then will they advance to the next realm!
In contemplation, Lin Yuan casually glanced in the direction outside the temple gate.
After a few moments, a hurried and chaotic sound of footsteps approached from outside the temple.
Subsequently, several figures entered one after another, each person looking like a drowned rat, appearing extremely disheveled.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan, they paused momentarily, seeming somewhat surprised, but didn’t say anything, silently moving to the side and setting up a campfire.
Lin Yuan looked up.
This group consisted of three young women, based on their attire not ordinary commoners, likely the children of wealthy families in the city.
Two of the women each had three guards, all sturdy men with knives.
However, judging from their footsteps, they were likely skin refinement warriors of relatively low level, with average strength.
In fact.
In a small town like Black Mountain City, Blood Exchange warriors already had the qualifications to establish martial arts schools, most of them were skin refinement warriors, and some haven’t even formally engaged with martial arts.
Illustrious in academics and martial skills.
It was already a rare achievement for ordinary people to have enough to eat.
Where would they get extra money for martial arts training?
Lin Yuan casually scanned and naturally noticed that these two women also possessed martial skills.
Otherwise, in danger, it would be difficult to ensure safety even with guards, especially when the guards could harbor ill intentions.
The only one that caught Lin Yuan’s attention a bit more was the other woman in a black bamboo hat and dress.
She was the only Blood Exchange warrior among them.
Her long legs were slender, her slender waist graspable, her figure round, and her left hand always held a sheathed long sword, resembling a ranger.
The bamboo hat was draped with a thin black veil, covering most of her face, revealing only her fair and smooth chin.
It was clear that she was different from the others.
Returning his gaze, Lin Yuan didn’t pay them much attention and refocused his attention on the information panel in front of him.
【Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique (True Gang)】
【Realm: Perfection】
【Special Effects: Flames, Fire Poison, Scorch Vision, Intimidate Demons, Slay Evil】
There are six levels of martial arts realm, namely: Basic, Proficient, Mastery, Small Achievement, Great Achievement, Perfection!
Except for Basic, each level surprisingly added a “special effect.”
“If I remember correctly, a martial art usually has only three special effects, is it because the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique is a fusion of two martial arts?”
“The fusion of two martial arts in the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique?” Lin Yuan murmured inwardly.
Like Capture Hand and Red Line Fist, these types of Skin Refinement martial arts only have one special effect each, the former being “Bone Dislocation” and the latter being “One Level Strength Enhancement”.
The Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique in the True Gang Realm is at a proficient realm, currently with only one special effect, “Tiger’s Might”.
It has to be said.
The special effects of the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique are very useful, especially the subsequent Intimidate Demons and Slay Evil, which are simply essential skills for demon slaying at home and while traveling!
…
Thunder rolled and rain poured heavily.
It was clearly midday, but the sky was dark as if it was deep night, with the black branches swaying in the fierce wind and rain, like eerie ghosts.
“Ouch…”
In a low mountain hollow, Li Er’niu lay groaning below.
His left leg was covered by mud, presumably hitting a stone when rolling down, and now it was swollen and painful.
“I can’t…I can’t stay here…”
The howling wind and pouring rain showed no signs of stopping.
Li Er’niu was an old hunter and knew that if he continued like this, his body would become weaker and weaker. If he encountered a wild beast again in such a state, it would be a dead end!
He endured the pain and got up, limping out of the mountain hollow.
Normally in this forest, Li Er’niu could find his way back even with his eyes closed.
But with the recent fall, dizziness, and thunder and lightning, he no longer knew where he was.
“Is anyone there?”
Li Er’niu called out loudly, trying to seek help.
Unfortunately, his voice was completely drowned out by the howling rain and thunder, and it couldn’t reach far at all.
With no other choice,
Li Er’niu could only drag his tired body, limping, struggling through the muddy mountain forest.
Although it was summer, the temperature was very low at the moment.
He had to keep moving, or his injured legs and feet would likely become numb from the rain, leaving him with no hope of survival.
After walking for a while,
Li Er’niu suddenly saw a glimmer of light ahead.
He was overjoyed, as if he had seen a straw for survival, and he hurried to that spot.
Having finally walked out of the obstructing dense forest,
He saw an abandoned dilapidated temple in front of him.
Through the half-open temple door, one could vaguely see a blazing fire inside, with shadowy figures moving around.
“It seems that someone is as unlucky as I am.”
Li Er’niu pushed open the temple door, only to see two groups of people sitting inside, one of them a relatively young boy, who seemed to be from an ordinary family judging by his attire.
The other group clearly had a different background, with two young and beautiful girls, accompanied by armed guards, indicating that they were definitely from a wealthy family. Their clothes were made of expensive silk, each piece enough for him to survive on for many years.
After a slight hesitation, he approached the young boy.
“Young brother…”
Li Er’niu smiled, “Could you let me borrow some fire for warmth?…look at my…”
He wryly pointed to his injured left leg.
Lin Yuan glanced at him and nodded slowly.
“Thank you, thank you!”
Li Er’niu hurriedly expressed his gratitude, sitting down next to Lin Yuan, feeling the warmth of the fire, taking a deep breath of relief.
After hesitating for a moment, he moved his buttocks a bit further away.
Suddenly, he perked up his ears and heard the guards nearby whispering, one of them mysteriously said,
“Wang Ge, have you heard the rumors about the Mountain Lord Temple?”
