I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 144 What are the limits of the human body?

At the venue, many martial arts masters and contestants stood up!

What a shocking scene that was!
One punch defeats a grandmaster!

"This this!"

Wu Yimin's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes widened, and he murmured, "Jiang He... a Body Refinement Grandmaster?"

He is a high-ranking official in the Martial Arts Administration Bureau of Xixia Base City.

He knew more about rivers than others.

He knew that 20 days ago, Jiang He's physical strength was only about the same as that of a fifth-grade martial artist.

20 days...

From Rank 5 to Body Refinement Master?

Did he cultivate by riding a rocket?

"No!"

A grandmaster said, "For a body-refining martial artist to advance to the realm of martial arts grandmaster, they must achieve harmony between mind and will, harmony between will and qi, and harmony between qi and strength!"

"Only by circulating qi and blood throughout the body, tempering bones and refining internal organs, can one become a master of body refinement!"

"Jiang He is still far from reaching that level!"

Yes!

Far from it...

Therefore, he is not a grandmaster yet!

He wasn't a grandmaster, yet he could defeat a grandmaster with a single punch. How could everyone not be astonished?
"Jiang He's physical strength is not that strong. He was able to defeat Gulisu Ruhe with one punch because of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and the accumulation of the hidden force of the Great Sage Fist."

Shui Qianyun spoke up, saying, "Of course... the main reason is that Gulisu underestimated her opponent, and she has only just been promoted to Martial Arts Grandmaster. She is not yet proficient in using the methods of a Grandmaster. Otherwise, how could Jiang He have defeated her so easily?"

In the arena.

Jiang He withdrew the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, looked at Gulisu Ruhe who had been caught and treated by experts from the Western Frontier Base City, and said with some apology in his eyes, "I'm sorry..."

"I might have used a little too much force."

"After all, this was my first real fight against a martial arts master, so I didn't dare to underestimate him and used all my strength."

The Grandmaster of the Western Frontier Base City twitched his lips. He fed Gulisuruhe a spiritual pill and used his true energy to heal her injuries. He said, "You were able to defeat Gulisuruhe with one punch... I'm afraid there are very few young people in the Great Xia Dynasty who can be your match!"

"Not a grandmaster, but even more so than a grandmaster... Jiang He, cultivate diligently and do not slack off."

The Grandmaster suddenly remembered something and laughed, "Perhaps you can become the second Body Refinement Grandmaster of my Great Xia, and even have a chance to surpass that freak Xiahou Wu."

This statement was captured by a media reporter and broadcast live.

Jiang He smiled wryly and said, "What merit do I have to dare to compare myself with the martial arts legend Xiahou Wu?"

Yes!

Martial Arts Legend!

Xiahou Wu is still at the Grandmaster level and has not yet passed the tribulation of lightning, but he is known as the "Martial Arts Legend". In addition to his own legendary experience, it is all because he created the "Qi and Blood Condensation Method", which opened up a brand new path of martial arts for body-refining martial artists!
Jiang He looked away and glanced down at his right hand.

His entire arm was a bloody mess.

That punch was too powerful, causing my arm to tear apart.

Jiang He knew in his heart that this was because his "physical body" was too weak and could not withstand the extreme burst of the power of the ten dragons.

"It seems that relying solely on Bone Tempering Pills to increase strength is not a good option."

"I must make my physical body stronger!"

Jiang He jumped off the ring, his face showing deep thought.

He has a "system".

Therefore, each increase in strength will strengthen one's flesh, bones, skin, tendons, and even internal organs to a certain extent.

His physique was already extremely strong.

Even a full-force attack from a typical half-step Grandmaster might not be able to break through his defenses.

But Jiang He was not satisfied.

"My strength will become stronger in the future, and my understanding of the Great Sage Fist will gradually deepen. If my physique is not strong enough, it would be very sad to have a lot of power but not be able to unleash it."

"When the time comes, I'll unleash a tenfold Great Sage Fist, and before I can kill the enemy, I'll explode myself..."

and so.

To achieve "targeted" body tempering.

Take the Bone Tempering Pill as an example. When you take the Bone Tempering Pill, your strength and overall physique will be improved, but the changes in your bones will be the most significant!

Jiang He felt that if he were to remove one of his ribs now, he could go toe-to-toe with an A-grade alloy weapon!
And if you want to make your body stronger...

Jiang He's first thought was "the essence blood of a king-level ferocious beast".

For example, the essence and blood of the Earth Dragon King.

After refining, in addition to increasing one's own strength, it can also enhance the body's self-healing ability, which is a characteristic of the Earth Dragon King!
For example, the essence and blood of the "Golden Armored Tortoise King" can make one's physical body even stronger after being refined!

What about the essence and blood of other ferocious beast kings?
"Jiang He, are you injured?"

"Quick...to the lounge!"

Seeing that Jiang He's entire arm was almost useless, Shui Qianyun quickly got up and took Jiang He to the contestants' lounge in Xixia Base City.

"Sit down, I'll heal your wounds."

Shui Qianyun pointed, and a stream of water flew out from her fingertip, landing on Jiang He's arm.

The bloodstains were washed away.

Jiang He raised his arm and looked at it, and found that his entire arm was like porcelain, with cracks in the flesh. At this moment, those cracks had healed quite a bit.

He couldn't help but say, "As expected of an S-class water-type transcendent awakener, a single stream of water can heal injuries... I feel my arm is almost fully healed."

Shui Qianyun: "..."

She said softly, "I haven't even started treating your wounds yet. I just cleaned them."

"what?"

This is very embarrassing.

To avoid embarrassing Shui Qianyun, Jiang He could only laugh and say, "Well... it's probably because I've refined a lot of earth dragon blood, and my physique is special, so my body's self-healing and recovery ability is a tiny bit stronger!"

You call this a tiny bit?

Shui Qianyun thought to herself.

Having witnessed Jiang He's terrifying "self-healing power," she simply stopped healing him and instead said, "Jiang He, your physical strength should be around 25 kilograms now, right?"

Jiang He said, "More or less."

Shui Qianyun asked, "How is your qi and blood condensation progressing?"

Jiang He: "Not bad." Shui Qianyun said seriously: "Your physical strength has reached 25 kilograms, which is comparable to a top-tier half-step Grandmaster... It's time to consider breaking through to the Body Refinement Grandmaster realm."

"........."

Jiang He was both amused and exasperated. He said, "Sister Shui, I also want to become a Grandmaster, but all I've learned so far is through hard work and figuring things out on my own. I'm still completely clueless about how a body-refining martial artist can become a Grandmaster!"

Shui Qianyun said, "It is indeed more difficult for a body-refining martial artist to advance to the Grandmaster realm. It requires the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, as well as the tempering of bones and internal organs. Only when the body is strong enough to reach a certain limit can one break through that limit!"

"This……"

Jiang He tried it on the spot.

He mastered the method of "condensing qi and blood" not long after obtaining the Great Sage Fist.

However, he has never studied how to specifically apply the power of Qi and blood. So far, Jiang He only knows that releasing Qi and blood can protect the body, and that's all.

That's all he can do.

It is quite difficult to distribute qi and blood throughout the body.

Shui Qianyun sensed the power of Qi and blood within Jiang He's body and said, "You don't need to rush. The circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body is equivalent to a normal martial artist's true Qi flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians. It's not something that can be done easily."

"In addition to passing on the method of condensing qi and blood, Xiahou Wu also passed on a mantra: 'The mind and intention unite, the intention and qi unite, and the qi and strength unite.'"

"The 'qi' here refers to the qi and blood!"

"Only when the mind and the strength are in harmony can the Qi move freely and reach the whole body."

"........."

Jiang He was confused. How did a body-refining martial artist get involved in the topic of mind and will?

He could only nod and pretend to understand, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Sister Shui. I think I understand a little... By the way, Sister Shui, what do you mean by reaching the limit and breaking the limit?"

Shui Qianyun smiled and said, "That's simple. You are a body-refining martial artist, so you should know that the human body has its limits. Only by breaking through those limits time and time again can you make progress."

"That's a rather abstract way of putting it, so let me give you an example..."

Shui Qianyun thought about it seriously and said, "For example, when you were refining your body, did you ever experience a period of time where no matter how you cultivated, you couldn't make any progress?"

Jiang He: "No."

Shui Qianyun: "..."

She gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Then I won't give any examples. Just feel it for yourself. When the power stops giving you any hints, when you feel the bottleneck and the limit, and then break through that limit, it means you have entered the realm of Body Refinement Master."

Shui Qianyun seemed a little angry.

Jiang He quickly stood up and said, "Sister Shui, my arm has recovered... I haven't finished the task that Seventh Brother assigned me yet. Duanmu Feng, Li Wanqing, and Gulisu have all broken through, but Xu Rulai and Wei Changhai are still nowhere to be seen."

"I need to find them as soon as possible and complete the task that Seventh Brother assigned me."

Jiang He left the lounge, stopped a security guard, and asked, "Brother, could you please tell me... where is the lounge in Nanhe Base City?"

The security guard pointed to a location.

As Jiang He strode over, he saw a burly, bald man, about 2 meters tall, standing at the entrance of the rest room in Nanhe Base City. The man had a big smile on his face, his hands clasped together in front of his chest, and bowed slightly to Jiang He, saying, "Benefactor Jiang He, this humble monk has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh?"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly as he looked Xu Rulai up and down, and said in surprise, "I have heard that you once followed a monk to cultivate for several years, but I did not know that you had entered the Buddhist order and become a monk."

Xu Rulai said, "When my master left, he said that I would not be considered a Buddhist disciple until I reached the Innate Realm. So I naturally dared not call myself a Buddhist disciple before."

innate.

It is the realm of ancient martial arts.

This corresponds to the current seventh rank of martial arts, the Grandmaster realm, which Jiang He knows.

Jiang He said, "So, you've already become a Grandmaster?"

Xu Rulai nodded.

Jiang He turned and left.

amount……

Xu Rulai was taken aback.

After breaking through to the Grandmaster realm last night, he originally planned to conceal his cultivation and unleash it suddenly when Jiang He challenged him, suppressing Jiang He and making a name for himself in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Jiang He suddenly unleashed his full power, defeating Gulisu Ruhe with a single punch.

So he changed his mind.

He had been waiting here on purpose, intending to have a "closed-door" sparring session with Jiang He... but Jiang He actually turned around and left?

Xu Rulai said, "Benefactor Jianghe..."

"what?"

Jiang He stopped and turned around, asking, "What's wrong?"

The 2-meter-tall Xu Rulai shrank his neck and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to stop competing?"

"You're already a grandmaster, what's the point of comparing?"

Jiang He said, "Alright, I'm going to watch the game."

I watched the game for a while longer.

Jiang He timed it perfectly and returned to the hotel at noon.

Had lunch.

After taking the medicine.

After finishing his "post-lunch exercise," Jiang He returned to his room.

4 pm.

He received a call from Hong Wanli, saying that the bookmaker had returned the money he had bet on.

Jiang He asked anxiously, "How much has been refunded?"

Hong Wanli said, "I refunded 31.3 billion. Give me an account number and I'll have the bookmaker transfer the money."

Jiang He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sent his account information over.

10 minute later.

A huge sum of 31.3 billion yuan has been received.

Jiang He called his father-in-law, explained the situation, and returned the 10 billion yuan he had borrowed. Then he turned on his computer and found his target on the official website of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau.

King Golden Tortoise, Price: 2.8 million per drop.

"I remember there's some Golden Armored Tortoise King Essence Blood in the Jiangnan Base City. I'll order one drop to try it out..."
