Chapter 7 Fifth Level of Body Tempering In the courtyard, there were several rocks placed there, and a figure stretched out his fists."clap clap" Nine sounds were heard, and the figure punched the rock, and a fist mark immediately appeared on the rock. Adjust your body shape and punch again. "Snapped!" This time there was only a loud crisp sound, and the punch came out much faster. "Crack!" Finally the rock couldn't bear the weight anymore and broke into pieces. "It's good to have a tough skin." Mu Zi brushed the dust off his hands and nodded secretly in his heart. When she was at the third level of body tempering, she didn't dare to attack the stone directly with her fists. If she was stubborn, she would get hurt.
More than 20 days had passed since she had a casual chat with Mu Lingsha. Since then, she had put all her thoughts on cultivation. With the help of the first-grade spiritual medicine snow fruit, Mu Zi broke through to the fourth level of body tempering in just seven days. This speed was one day earlier than she expected. But as a price, her spiritual medicine stock was exhausted. The speed of bone tempering at the fifth level of body tempering inevitably slowed down. But even without the aid of spiritual medicine, her progress in cultivation was not slow. After twenty days, her bones had been tempered to a great extent. According to her estimation, in ten more days, she would be able to break through to the fifth level of body tempering. In addition, these days she not only strengthened her body, but also did not give up martial arts. Mu Zi's eyes fixed, and he rushed out. As he walked, his movements were adjusted rhythmically, there was a regularity in his steps, and his body seemed to be swimming. That pace, both in terms of speed and flexibility, far exceeds a simple sprint. Swimming steps. This is the second martial art that Mu Zi has mastered, and it is also a second-grade body movement martial art. After practicing the Youshen Step, one's steps follow the heart and one's body follows the spirit. With that kind of flexibility, one is almost invincible when fighting with others. Moreover, after practicing to perfection, one can even take a step of several feet, which is like shrinking the distance into an inch. Of course, Mu Zi sneered at this. He was also shrinking the earth into an inch, which was just a classic self-praise, and it could only fool a martial arts novice. However, this is a body movement martial arts after all. This kind of martial arts is not very common, and its value is higher than other martial arts of the same level, second only to some secret methods. Mu Lingsha practiced the swimming step, which was also one of her reliances. In the Qingyang Town hunting competition that just ended, she fought side by side with Lin Dong. With the eighth level of body tempering, she held back more than a dozen opponents, creating an opportunity for Wu Yun to seize the fire python tiger cub. It was thanks to the speed and flexibility that the swimming step gave her that she had the confidence to hold back more than a dozen people. Of course, this is also because she has excellent archery skills, but this is enough to show the effect of the body movement.
Judging from the effect of Mu Zi's performance just now, her proficiency in swimming steps has surpassed that of her elder sister Mu Lingsha and reached the level of great success. If Mu Lingsha knew, I wonder what she would feel? However, great success is only the limit of martial arts, not Mu Zi's limit. She suddenly started to move forward again, so fast that ordinary people couldn't even see how she moved. Mu Zi wandered in the courtyard. When he turned, there was a sense of ethereality in his figure, like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, but his speed did not slow down at all. In a flash, Mu Zi rushed out of the yard, like a nimble swift, swimming between the hills behind Mujiazhuang. She landed silently, occasionally passing by the patrolling guards in the manor, but they didn't notice it at all, thinking it was just a gust of wind. In a blink of an eye, the sound of gurgling water came into my ears, and after turning a hill, a stream came into view. Mu Zi stopped and exhaled. After a slight adjustment, he once again took those ethereal steps and ran towards the water. Finally, her footsteps touched the water. The next moment, something unexpected happened: Mu Zi was not submerged in the water, her body just sank slightly, and she stood firmly, with the water just covering her ankles. Mu Zi took a step forward, stepping on the water. From a distance, it looked as if there was an elf dancing on the water. Back on the shore, Mu Zi calmed down her breathing, and then her face showed excitement. She was quite satisfied that the improved swimming step could reach this level. The original second-grade martial arts has been completely transformed after Mu Zi's improvement and can almost be regarded as a new martial art. "Crossing the water without getting clothes wet. This martial art is called 'Lingbo Bu'." Mu Zi became interested and named the upgraded Youshen Bu. Although Lingbo Bu is only of the second grade, it is truly comparable to the third grade martial arts. Even among the third grade martial arts, it is probably the best. The most important thing is that the energy consumption of performing Lingbo Step is only within the scope of second-grade martial arts. Low consumption, high power, it can be called the best martial art. Moreover, this time Mu Zi improved her martial arts almost entirely by relying on her own understanding. During this period, she only briefly opened the reincarnation seal, found the idea of improvement, and then completely followed this path, all relying on her own efforts. This is also Mu Zi’s summary of his experience in using the Samsara Seal. Just using it to explore ideas intermittently can greatly reduce energy consumption. Moreover, relying on one's own understanding to study can also play a role in training. The reincarnation seal is like a teacher, only responsible for inspiration. In this process, it constantly accumulates the foundation for Mu Zi. When accumulated to a certain level, even if Mu Zi does not use the Samsara Seal, she can achieve this step by herself. "Although the Samsara Seal is very good, it is also important to improve oneself." Mu Zi concluded. "Of course, the key is still poverty!" After returning to her residence, Mu Zi took out a jade box and opened it, revealing five Rehmannia glutinosa fruits. Looking at these third-grade spiritual medicines, Mu Zi’s thoughts returned to this morning. "Pap-pap-pap-pap." Mu Zi performed the Nine-Resound Tongbei Fist. Opposite her, Mu Lingsha had a complicated expression. "Little sister, your talent in martial arts is really..." Mu Lingsha's eyes were full of amazement. When Mu Zi first came into contact with Tongbeiquan, she successfully punched it in a short period of time, which had already given her a great shock.
Later, Mu Zi's progress was rapid. In just one month, he had already mastered all nine sounds at the same time and practiced the Tongbei Fist to the extreme. This kind of talent in martial arts is truly astonishing. "I can only fire eight shots!" Mu Lingsha roared in her heart, feeling mixed emotions for a moment. However, this was the result of Mu Zi hiding something. If Mu Lingsha knew that she had improved Tongbeiquan, how wonderful would her face be? After hesitating for a moment, Mu Lingsha sighed and finally made up her mind. She took out a jade box and handed it to Mu Zi. "What is this?" Mu Zi asked puzzledly. "Remember the last time I went hunting?" Mu Lingsha asked, but before Mu Zi could answer, she continued: "I got a fire python tiger cub. This is a great achievement. The owner of the manor rewarded me with five Rehmannia fruits." As he spoke, he pointed to the jade box in Mu Zi's hand. "Sister, what are you doing?" "This is for you." Mu Lingsha let out a sigh. Looking at the thing in her hand, Mu Zi's heart was moved. Mu Lingsha had been practicing hard, and she saw it all. But at this moment, she actually gave her the elixir she had obtained with great difficulty. "Don't refuse. I can't take back what I give you!" It was not easy to make this decision, and she was struggling for a long time. At this moment, Mu Lingsha seemed to have finally let go of the burden, and she felt a lot more relaxed. "Haha, I'm not far from the ninth level of body tempering. It won't affect anything without this thing." Mu Zi was a little excited: "But, if I have these five Rehmannia fruits, I can quickly break through to the Earthly Origin Realm!" Although this realm is not high, it is already considered to be in the upper reaches. After all, there are only eight people in the Earthly Realm in Mujiazhuang. If Mu Lingsha breaks through, she will be the backbone of the family. Mu Lingsha smiled slightly and said earnestly: "Little sister, my talent is far inferior to yours. Maybe I can break through to the Tianyuan realm, but that's the end." "And you are a true genius. This is true whether it is your energy training or your martial arts comprehension." "Perhaps I can only guard Mujiazhuang for the rest of my life, but you are different." “You have the opportunity to go out and see the wider world and compete with real geniuses!” In the past few days, the events at the hunting competition have fermented and spread to Mujiazhuang. Lin Dong from Qingyang Town broke through to the Earthly Realm and had a bet fight with the Lei family in public. His opponent Lei Li had not only broken through to the Earthly Realm, but had also displayed the fourth-grade martial art - Thunder Light. Despite this, he was still easily defeated by Lin Dong. Lin Dong is barely sixteen years old, and his future is limitless. "I wonder who is stronger, my younger sister or that genius?" Mu Lingsha thought to herself.
Mu Zi accepted the jade box, only to feel it was heavy in her hand. "Thank you, sister." Stopping the memories, Mu Zi sat cross-legged, took out a Rehmannia fruit and placed it close to his forehead. After a while, the Rehmannia fruit turned into a handful of powder. Mu Zi entered a state of cultivation, absorbing the energy fed back by the Samsara Seal. Under the effect of the energy transformed from the third-grade elixir, the bottleneck that would have taken more than ten days to break through was gradually loosening. Accompanied by a burst of sharp pain, the bones in Mu Zi's body were slowly strengthened. Beads of sweat oozed out of Mu Zi's smooth forehead, but she gritted her teeth and did not let out a cry of pain. When it comes to perseverance and resilience, she won't lose to anyone. Finally, the severe pain disappeared, and a crisp crackling sound came from her body. At this moment, her height also quietly increased. When Mu Zi opened his eyes, his eyes were full of excitement. "Is this the fifth level of Body Tempering?" (End of this chapter)
