Chapter 139 Breakthrough to the Eighth Rank of Martial Arts In the courtyard. Jiang Ning clenched his fist. He immediately felt the changes in his body. The power is obviously stronger. Just by clenching his fist, he could clearly feel that the power he could unleash had reached a new level. "My skin membrane has transformed and become as tough as copper, which has increased my strength by several hundred pounds. My strength should be close to two thousand pounds now!" he muttered. Then he picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, held it in his palm, and exerted force with his palm. humming— There was the sound of stones breaking in his hands.
After counting the breaths. Jiang Ning opened his right hand, only to see a pile of white powder left on the palm of his hand. call-- A fierce breath came out of his mouth, and the white powder on the palm of his hand was instantly swept into the air, revealing his smooth and new palm. There was not a single scratch on the palm of his hand. "The skin is indeed stronger than before! I just don't know if it can withstand ordinary swords with just the toughness of the skin." Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he spoke of this. He turned and walked towards the corner of the yard. The ebony sword that he had cut off before was now thrown in a corner of the courtyard. Coming to the corner of the yard, Jiang Ning quickly found the broken knife that he had casually discarded before. "Let me use this knife to test the toughness of my skin! According to the Vajra Indestructible Body, even if my skin is refined to perfection, it can reach the level of a skin membrane as tough as copper." "But the membrane tempered by this technique is generally 30% to 50% tougher than the membranes of the same level." Think of this. Jiang Ning grabbed the broken knife, pointed the sharp blade at his arm, and then gently slashed it. He immediately saw the skin on his arm dent, and at the same time, the skin gave him a slight pain in response. After the blade cuts through the skin. The sunken skin instantly recovered without any wounds left. Only a faint white mark appeared on the arm. He wiped the white marks on his arm with his finger, and the white marks disappeared instantly.
“It’s really different!” Jiang Ning looked at the changes on his arm and his expression suddenly brightened. Then he slashed his arm with the knife again. This time, the force used was much greater than before. In an instant. He felt a sharp pain in his arm. This is the feeling of skin being cut by a sharp blade. But the next moment. He felt a layer of resistance from the blade, an extremely strong resistance. Faced with this layer of resistance, the blade can hardly move forward. "This is the effect of the membrane!" Jiang Ning said to himself. Then he moved the blade away from his arm and immediately saw a thin scratch on his left arm. This was clearly the mark left by the broken knife after being tested on his arm. But at this point, the thin scratch was obviously still okay. Because there was not much blood oozing out of the wound, only a few strands of blood slowly emerged. "It seems that the toughness of the membrane is much stronger than the skin." "From my test results, holding a weapon made of 100-pound iron and exerting a force of 100 pounds can break my skin, but it obviously cannot damage the membrane beneath the skin." At this moment, Jiang Ning also roughly understood how high his physical defense was after he mastered the skin refining. The membrane that connected his entire body was now protecting him like a layer of iron. In this case, even if an ordinary person holds a weapon, it is difficult to damage his skin, let alone the membrane tissue under his skin. "The leather refining is really a qualitative change!" Jiang Ning was secretly delighted. Then, he casually threw the broken knife in his hand into the corner. Try again to see if your Vajra Indestructible Body can continue to gain experience. According to Lin Qingyi's statement and the records in the remaining chapters of the Vajra Indestructible Body. The Vajra Indestructible Body is a martial art that is the foundation of the Vajra Temple. If one practices to the perfect level, one can condense the legendary immortal golden body. Warriors at this level are said to be indestructible, fearless of all weapons and magical skills.
That is the true ultimate realm of leather refining. The incomplete copy of the Vajra Indestructible Body that I have now was specially passed down by the Vajra Temple, because it only records the level of skin refining to the point where the skin membrane is as smooth as copper. My current progress in skin refining can be said to have reached the highest level among the remaining fragments of the Vajra Temple's martial arts. Normally, if you want to go further in the realm of skin training, you need to join the Vajra Temple, pass the assessment of the Vajra Temple, and become a disciple of the Vajra Temple. Only then will you have a chance to obtain the subsequent inheritance of the Vajra Indestructible Body. This is probably the reason why Vajra Temple chose to pass down the fragments of this sect's martial arts skills. Normally speaking, with my efficiency in cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Body, it would not be difficult for me to pass the test of the Vajra Temple and become a disciple of the Vajra Temple. But it's possible. Vajra Temple is one of the top sects in the world. Even with my performance, it is not that easy to obtain the subsequent inheritance of this martial art. After all, that is the sect's martial arts, how could it be taught so easily? In addition, the Vajra Temple has many strict rules and regulations, so Jiang Ning has no intention of joining the Vajra Temple at all. Unless one day he is left with nowhere else to go, he will have the possibility to join the Vajra Temple and obtain the protection of the Vajra Temple based on his progress in practicing the Vajra Indestructible Body. next moment. Jiang Ning secretly thought in his heart: "Now whether I can continue to move forward at the level of skin refining depends on whether I can gain experience points from this technique." "It should be possible! After all, I only had the introductory chapter before the Inner Alchemy Health Preservation Exercise. Even after reaching the introductory level, I can still continue to gain experience points." Thinking of this, Jiang Ning simply stopped wasting time. He performed the first move recorded in the remaining chapters of the Vajra Indestructible Body technique on the spot, then circulated his strength to push the Qi and blood throughout his body to temper his skin membrane. Time passes slowly. [Vajra Indestructible Body Experience +1] [Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (Minor Achievement 1/5000) Seeing the changes in this column on the panel, Jiang Ning's heart finally settled down. "That way, there will be no problem!" "After the minor accomplishment of the Vajra Indestructible Body, there is a blind spot recorded in the fragments." "Now I can still gain experience points for this technique. In this case, as long as the time comes and I gain 5,000 experience points, this technique will be able to break through to the next level naturally, and I will be one step closer to perfection and condensing the Indestructible Golden Body." Jiang Ning was shocked. After a while. He stopped tempering the membrane. Because his membrane was already under a lot of stress in order to break through.
Now, in order to try the possibility, he continued to temper the membrane. Under the continuous load, he felt a dull pain in the membrane all over his body. [Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (Minor Achievement 2/5000) "Two experience points, that's enough!" Jiang Ning was completely relieved. [Water +1] [Water +1] [Water attribute +1] [.] Soak in the cool lake water. Jiang Ning felt his physical fatigue gradually dissipate, while his water skills experience also continued to increase. "It seems that taking a bath in Luoshui is indeed a better choice." "Not only can it relieve physical fatigue, but it can also increase the experience points of the water skill." Half an hour later. Jiang Ning got up and went ashore. Returned to his room. He looked at the Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill placed in front of him. There was a burning look in his eyes. The Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill was, in his eyes, the fastest way for him to enter the eighth level of martial arts. The eighth level of martial arts, the realm of divine power. It is to use strength to promote Qi and blood to temper the muscles throughout the body, allowing the muscles to undergo transformation, so that they can burst out with greater strength. At this level, the biggest improvement is strength. Therefore, the eighth level of martial arts is also known as the realm of divine power. The most difficult thing about this realm is to master the strength. Because only by mastering the strength can you train the muscles throughout the body. Without mastering the strength, there is no way to strengthen the muscles throughout the body. Whether it is the medicinal power enhanced by spiritual fruits, or elixirs like the Dragon and Tiger Strength Pill. At most, it can allow ordinary ninth-grade martial artists to barely step into the threshold of eighth-grade martial arts. The further you go, the thinner the muscles that need to be tempered. There is no way without relying on yourself.
And mastering strength has never been an easy task. It's just a matter of understanding. Only those with a high level of comprehension can practice lower-level martial arts to perfection and thus master a certain kind of strength. And understanding is something elusive and illusory. Just like some people learn a martial art for several years but still cannot make any progress, it can be said that their comprehension is poor. However, when he turned to swordsmanship, he made rapid progress and reached perfection in swordsmanship in just half a year. This situation is not an isolated case. It has occurred countless times from ancient times to the present. And it keeps happening. Therefore, for most people, mastering strength requires a certain amount of luck. It will be much easier if you come across weapons or martial arts that you are good at. But all this has nothing to do with Jiang Ning. He had already mastered the power, so the eighth level of martial arts divine power was no longer a secret in his eyes. As long as he is given some time, he will be able to complete this realm smoothly. Moreover, this realm is very simple, unlike skin refining which has many twists and turns. Temper your physical strength and muscles, and increase your strength by 500 kilograms to enter the eighth level. Most warriors who reach this stage have a strength of over 1,500 kilograms, and most are in the range of 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms. Then continue to temper your muscles and increase your strength by another 500 pounds, which means you have achieved a small success in the realm of divine power. Most warriors who reach this stage generally possess a strength of more than two thousand pounds, and the vast majority of them are in the range of two thousand pounds to two thousand five hundred pounds. As for the perfection of the divine power realm, all the muscles in the body have been tempered. As a result, his strength increased greatly, reaching the limit of this realm. At this point, the gap is quite large. Some people are born with good bones and well-developed muscle groups. When they reach the limit of this realm, they will have a strength of more than 3,000 kilograms. Some people who are born with supernatural powers can even have higher strength, reaching astonishingly terrifying strength, with a strength of more than 4,000 kilograms. This kind of warrior is a symbol of invincibility at the same level. The difference in strength allows them to easily defeat opponents of the same level. Even when the accumulation is deep enough, an ordinary seventh-grade martial artist is not as good as this kind of natural power, and at the same time, it has reached the limit at the eighth-grade martial artist realm. At this level, the ultimate strength training is the limit in a sense. Because of the great strength training, all the muscle groups in the body have been tempered. So unlike the ninth level of martial arts, even if one has mastered skin refining and tempered the membrane to copper skin, there are still two steps to follow.
At this moment, the information about the eighth level of martial arts emerged in Jiang Ning's mind. Then he closed his eyes and looked inward. He immediately noticed that the muscle groups all over his body had undergone great changes. Because he had eaten three Bull Demon Power Fruits before. One Bull Demon Power Fruit can increase his strength by a hundred kilograms. Where does this hundred pounds of force come from? Naturally, it couldn't be the increase brought to him by the spiritual fruit. It was only because the medicinal effect of the spiritual fruit tempered his muscles that he gained strength. If the muscles in the body have not been tempered, it is like a blank sheet of paper. Therefore, the initial stage is also when the Bull Demon Power Fruit has the best effect. The further you go, the more your muscle groups are tempered, and the stronger the power boost from spiritual fruits like the Bull Demon Power Fruit will become. This is the reason why spiritual fruits like the Bull Demon Power Fruit can bring about an increase in power. Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but secretly said in his heart. "Three Bull Demon Power Fruits have given me a 300-jin increase in strength. In other words, if I increase my strength by another 200-jin, I can officially enter the ranks of the eighth level of martial arts." "In that case, it will be soon!" Jiang Ning opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill in front of him again. There is no doubt that the Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill is far more effective than the three Bull Demon Strength Fruits. Because this pill is famous for breaking through a small realm with just one pill. This means that one Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill can increase one's strength by at least 500 kilograms. Moreover, according to rumors, this kind of improvement, regardless of whether one has not yet entered the ranks of the eighth level of martial arts or has been cultivating in the eighth level of martial arts for a long time, can increase strength by at least 500 kilograms, which is equivalent to a breakthrough in a small realm. "Today is the day I step into the eighth level of divine power!" Jiang Ning picked up the Dragon-Tiger Strength Pill in front of him and spoke. next moment. He stripped off the coating of the Dragon and Tiger Strength Pill. Without the seal of the pill's outer coating, the rich medicinal fragrance immediately filled the entire room. Jiang Ning's nose was also filled with the rich aroma of medicine. "The eighth level of divine power is just around the corner." Jiang Ning opened his mouth and placed the Dragon and Tiger Strength Pill on the tongue coating in his mouth. As his throat moved, the pill immediately went down his throat and into his stomach.
After entering the abdomen. boom-- Jiang Ning suddenly felt as if a small sun had fallen into his body. The pill instantly released terrifying power. He also immediately closed his eyes and looked inward. When looking inward at his body, Jiang Ning suddenly felt a strange force emerging in his body. A force that did not belong to him. This force is extremely domineering and full of agility. Like a dragon and a tiger galloping in his body. It also seemed to have a sense of agility, integrating precisely into his muscle groups, and cooperating with the released medicinal power to begin tempering the muscle groups throughout his body.
