Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 49: Testing your bones! Iron bones and flexible tendons! (Please vote and read on!)

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Gu Yuan was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve."

Xia Mingyang changed the subject and said, "However, this is not the main reason why I called you here."

Gu Yuan showed a hint of doubt at the right moment: "Then why did the Pavilion Master call me here?"

Xia Mingyang looked Gu Yuan up and down with a calm gaze, which made Gu Yuan feel as if his entire being was being seen through. He said, "You have only been practicing martial arts for a short time, but you have already achieved such a high level of strength. This shows that you have some talent in martial arts."

"I called you here because I wanted to ask Mr. Mo to examine your bones!"

Gu Yuan was stunned: "Explore my roots?"

"good."

Xia Mingyang explained:

"Just as some people are born with supernatural strength and are as strong as an ox, while others are weak and sickly from childhood, with their muscles and bones scattered, this is the difference in their innate physical constitution."

"People's innate bones can be good or bad. According to my classification of people in cultivation, there are inferior, lower, middle, and superior grades. And behind the superior innate bones, there are various spiritual bodies, Taoist bodies, and immortal bodies, but you don't need to know about these."

"The quality of one's innate strength determines a cultivator's potential. While this isn't necessarily entirely true, the better the innate strength, the faster one's cultivation progresses, and the higher their future achievements will be. This is an established fact."

Gu Yuan didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

After all, he had only been practicing martial arts for a short time and spent most of his time practicing martial arts. In addition, he came from a humble background and had never been exposed to this kind of common sense. No one told him these things, so he did not understand them.

However, he could easily understand Xia Mingyang's words.

This so-called root bone is actually a kind of physique, or a talent for practicing martial arts.

As for Xia Mingyang's offer to help him investigate his bones, it was obviously because he had performed brilliantly in this mission, which earned him the attention of Yuding Tower and a certain value for training, so they wanted to investigate his bones.

It would be fine if your talent is average, but if you have good talent, you might get more attention.

At this time, Xia Mingyang looked at Old Man Mo and said, "Brother Mo, I'll trouble you from now on."

"You're welcome, Brother Xia. It's no trouble at all."

Old Man Mo waved his hand and immediately motioned Gu Yuan to come forward.

Gu Yuan took a few steps forward obediently, and was immediately grabbed by the wrist by Old Man Mo.

In an instant, a powerful yet gentle true energy flowed into his body along his wrist and quickly spread to Gu Yuan's limbs and bones.

Then, Gu Yuan felt that he had lost control of his limbs, even his bones, muscles and flesh, and could not move at all.

He couldn't even make any facial expressions.

"Huh? This kid..."

Suddenly, Old Man Mo raised his eyebrows, as if he sensed something.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan seemed to be stimulated by something. There was a crackling sound of bones colliding in his body, and there was a faint feeling of the powerful clanging of metal.

At the same time, there were also sounds of taut bowstrings, as if there were a series of crossbows hidden in the body, which were quickly tightened and the bowstrings made a trembling sound.

His entire body suddenly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming tall and sturdy, his muscles condensing and gathering, twisting like a dragon, like steel and iron! On his dark blue skin, veins like small snakes expanded and spread, revealing a bit of evil!

The clothes on his body seemed to be unable to bear the weight and were stretched so tight that they seemed to be about to burst!
In just a few breaths, Gu Yuan transformed from a seven-foot-tall young man into a nine-foot-tall, majestic man!

"What's going on?"

Xia Xiuxue was obviously dumbfounded when she saw the change in Gu Yuan in front of her.

"Huh? Iron-boned talent?!"

Seeing the changes in Gu Yuan, especially hearing the sound of bones colliding with the sound of metal clashing, Xia Mingyang and Luo Sheng looked at each other.

The two seemed a little surprised.

Then they heard the sound of the bowstring being tightened, and their expressions changed again: "No, there is also this tendon..."

"Ah, I'm getting old. In the past, it was easy for me to help people check their bones."

At this time, Old Man Mo sighed and retracted his hand, and Gu Yuan's burly and strong body quickly returned to its original appearance like a deflated ball.

The human body is not a spring or rubber. Unless one has practiced bone-shrinking techniques, horizontal training, or some kind of feminine martial arts, an ordinary martial artist's body will be stretched and expanded, and then shrunk like this. This expansion and contraction will probably cause wear and tear, bruises, and serious injuries to the bones, flesh, and blood.

However, Gu Yuan did not feel any discomfort, but rather a sense of satisfaction?
That’s not quite right. I just feel warm all over, inside and out, as if I’m soaking in a hot spring, and I’m full of energy.

This is not surprising. First of all, his physique is very different from that of ordinary martial artists. His physical flexibility and strength are much better than those of normal martial artists.

Secondly, he was not injured and felt comfortable, which should be due to the nourishment of Old Man Mo's true energy.

Then, Gu Yuan looked up and saw three sharp eyes staring at him.

Gu Yuan felt uncomfortable under the eager gazes of the three grown men and couldn't help but ask, "Pavilion Master, the Chief Steward, and Mr. Mo, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Xia Mingyang ignored him and looked at Old Man Mo: "Old Mo?"

Old Man Mo stroked his beard and nodded in surprise: "Bones are like gold and iron, tendons are as flexible as strings. This is the best root bones with iron bones and flexible tendons!"

"And among the best bones, it is also top-notch!"

Iron bones and flexible tendons?

Xia Xiuxue widened her eyes and looked at Gu Yuan in disbelief.

It was beyond her expectation that Gu Yuan in front of her actually possessed superior physique.

No wonder Gu Yuan achieved such success in martial arts after only one month of training, and his swordsmanship was exquisite. It turned out that it was because of his good talent!
"Iron bones and flexible tendons? Good! Very good!"

Xia Mingyang nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes softened when he looked at Gu Yuan.

He also didn't expect that there would be such a good seedling in this small Beiliang County.

Seeing Gu Yuan's confusion, Old Man Mo explained, "Both Iron Bones and Flexible Tendons are relatively rare talents or innate bones. Iron Bones are born with bones that are different from those of ordinary people. Those with this talent have hard bones, a strong physique, and abundant Qi and blood. They can be said to be born with supernatural powers! This is a huge advantage when practicing martial arts, and can give you many advantages."

"As for the talent for flexible muscles, this is a talent on par with iron bones. Those who possess this talent have very flexible muscles and great strength, are more agile, have better physical fitness, and are less prone to injury. It complements iron bones."

Having said that, Old Man Mo looked at Gu Yuan with a slightly admiring look:

"These two talents are both top-grade physiques, which are rare in a hundred. The fact that you possess both of them at the same time is already considered the best of the best, and you are naturally superior to many others!"
