Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 28: Double Upgrade! [Martial Arts Soul + Iron Bones]

With a single thought, one's fortune rapidly dissipates, and one's destiny becomes as vague as ever.

This time, Chen Zhan had gained experience and carefully observed the changes in his body. These changes were extraordinary and completely contrary to his understanding of science or martial arts.

Every medical treatment, whether traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, involves a recovery process.

But fate cannot be changed!
It's as if it strips the disease away and makes it disappear from the world.

As he deliberately immersed himself in the experience, the dull pain in his chest gradually peeled away, and the stuffiness he felt every morning and night also gradually disappeared.

The lung disease that I used to have to suppress every day is now completely gone.

Chen Zhan was certain that he had recovered his health and was completely free from the torment of illness.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his bones cracked and popped.

The muscles and bones resonated, the internal organs were undamaged, and the qi and blood were normal, with no significant changes.

"This feeling... I haven't felt it in so long!"

The only difference before the illness was in the qi and blood. The chronic pain meant that the internal organs were already under a heavy burden from the nutritional supplements alone, which caused the qi and blood in the muscles to decrease instead of increase.

So he looks very thin, but it has little impact on his strength.

When someone's martial arts skills reach a certain level, their muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs are far more developed than their physical body.

Unless you encounter a martial artist with extraordinary talent and innate superhuman strength who can subdue others with force, you should indeed be cautious.

Check the panel again.

[Subject: Chen Zhan]

Age: 28

[World: Republic of China]

[Fate number: Short-lived ghost-white (can be changed)]

Lifespan: Twenty years

[Ability: Fist Technique - Hidden Strength]

[Talent: Devouring Fate and Forging Destiny]

[Luck: 160 points]

Note 1: Free from illness and disaster, with a lifespan of twenty years, and able to fully unleash the peak strength of internal energy.

Note 2: Talent can steal luck, and destiny can be altered through luck!

Judging from the panel, consuming 100 luck points almost restored him to his prime.

He then ate like crazy every day, and since he had plenty of money, with his superhuman digestive abilities, he was able to replenish his muscles and blood to their peak in less than half a month.

But what's with this "lifespan: twenty years"?
Without illness or disaster, having practiced Lao Tzu's internal martial arts to this level, I can only live for another twenty years, not even fifty years old yet?

This isn't quite right, is it?
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Zhan remembered that the panel had previously provided an introduction to the New Yin Flow, but he needed to check it himself. He had always thought that the panel contained only what was visible on the surface, but it turned out that he still needed to explore it on his own.

Consciousness wandered across the panel,

[Subject: Chen Zhan]

no response.

Age: 28

[World: Republic of China]

There was no response.

[Fate number: Short-lived ghost-white (can be changed)]

There have been changes.

Although he was still short-lived, his luck value was enough to change his fate again!
A line of small text immediately appeared on the panel.

[Short-lived ghost: The highest rank is White. People with this fate, even if they are free from illness and disaster, often die a violent death and rarely die peacefully in their sleep!]

Chen Zhan understood that the fate of being short-lived was not actually the cause of illness, but rather that even if a person was healthy and free from disease, they would still die an unnatural death at an early age.

Therefore, the estimate of a twenty-year lifespan is likely based on the enhancement of Chen Zhan's martial arts skills.

People with this kind of fate don't know how many years they'll live.

Having figured out the reason, Chen Zhan calmed himself down and, with another thought, decreed: [Fate: Short-lived Ghost - White (Can be changed)]

It's starting to blur!
This time, all the handwriting has changed!

My luck points were rapidly depleting, and my body began to change.

His originally thin body swelled up, and his flesh, tendons, and skin under the gray cloth robe showed a slight improvement. And that's not all!

Bones inside the body!
Under his meticulous observation, the bones grew extremely slowly, but they were indeed gradually strengthening, with both the size and density of the bones increasing.

Half an incense stick's time!
The kind of evolution that the human body can perceive has ended. Chen Zhan's realm has not yet reached the level of microscopic introspection; he can only vaguely perceive it.

The physical body and skin membranes will probably improve by about 10% to 20%.

His muscles have filled out considerably; at least he doesn't look frail anymore. His bone strength has increased by at least half!

"Whoo~"

"very good!"

Chen Zhan exhaled a large breath of stale air. If he weren't in an inn, he would have loved to let out a long howl!

This kind of physical improvement that can be felt by the nerves in a short period of time is so amazing, it's a hundred times better than the effects of exercise.

After all, no fitness routine can produce immediate results!
This feeling is similar to a permanent "drug injection," but without the side effects.

Unprecedentedly powerful, Chen Zhan exudes an unprecedented ferocity!
My gaze swept across the panel, and it had finally changed!
[Subject: Chen Zhan]

Age: 28

[World: Republic of China]

[Destiny: A Martial Spirit (White)]

Lifespan: Seventy years

[Ability: Fist Technique - Hidden Strength]

[Talents: Destiny Forging, Iron Bones]

[Luck: 10 points]

Note 1: Without illness or disaster, and without causing calamities, one can live to be a hundred years old and rest peacefully in bed. At the peak of internal strength, one can perform beyond the ordinary.

Note 2: Talent can steal luck, and destiny can be altered through luck!

Fate is directly replaced, while talent gains an additional path.

"A martial spirit?"

I can roughly understand the literal meaning; after scanning the destiny chart, a detailed explanation appears.

[A passion for martial arts is the seed, a fervent dedication to practice is the fire; a soul devoted to martial arts is born, at least at the white rank.]

[Effect: Obsessed with cultivation, born for battle, with a slight bloodlust!]

In Chen Zhan's view, this fate was all good!

His slight bloodlust was negligible; his mind could not be controlled by such a thing.

Even if he has practiced boxing for longer, has a higher level of skill, and is stronger, few people can surpass him in terms of mental cultivation.

Spanning a century, witnessing the era that followed, experiencing various upheavals, even facing death multiple times, and suffering from illness for many years.

His heart was as hard as steel, and his will as solid as ice!
As for the other talent, it's nothing special, just the literal meaning.

[Iron Bones: Increases bone density and joint strength, significantly improves resistance to physical attacks, and doubles the efficiency of cultivating hard skills.]

Chen Zhan felt the most obvious changes in his bones.

He assumed the Three-Body Stance, his internal organs vibrating, and the thunderous sound refining his marrow, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

Loosen your palm and make a fist.

Loosen your fist and change it to a palm.

Back and forth, feel the energy flowing through your body.

"Click~"

A soft sound came from inside the body, and the hidden energy flowed through the perineum acupoint, only the cervix acupoint was missing.

In fact, the amount of internal force that is penetrated is not very meaningful, especially for some hidden acupoints, which cannot be used to generate internal force when fighting an enemy.

But martial arts training is a slow and steady process. The process itself is not important, but it is necessary. If you want your martial arts skills to reach a high level, you must take this step.

Once you reach the Transformation Realm, it's a completely different story.

The so-called "transformation force" means that "not even a feather can be added, nor can a fly land."

Martial arts training, when practiced to the bone, can strengthen the blood and marrow, and the strength is usually over 5,000 jin. It is like a human bulldozer, and its destructive power is incomparable.

Moreover, with concentrated blood and sufficient oxygen to the brain, the standby area is activated, and the five senses are greatly enhanced. One can see the wings of a mosquito within five steps and hear the crawling of an ant. With the five senses being extremely sharp, it is almost impossible for one to be ambushed by a hidden arrow!

Various incredible abilities, beyond imagination.

Once you reach the highest level, you become a top-tier martial arts master, considered one of the most powerful experts throughout history.

Apart from a handful of individuals, most are at this level.

This includes figures like Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong, and Ip Man, who are extremely well-known to later generations.

Of course, this does not include the five great masters of the Republic of China era, whose level was even higher, a level he could not reach.

While contemplating himself, Chen Zhan's five senses were also very sharp, and he could hear even the slightest movements.

He waved goodbye, gathered his meager belongings, and jumped out of the window.
