Hunting God Era

Chapter 30 Moving like a swimming dragon, possessing the strength of a ferocious tiger, and having a body of metal and iron
Inside the rented room in the suburbs, Li Ye turned on the dim chandelier, looked at the pile of rice, took a few steps, adjusted his breathing, and activated the [Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon and Tiger Gate], condensing his qi and blood to form a membrane. He only maintained it for a moment before exhaling a breath of white air that only reached his chest.

"This way, the remaining vital energy has been completely refined," Li Ye murmured.

Today's meals, thanks to the Five Flavors Chopsticks, increased his Qi and Blood by 150 points. Combined with his original amount, it should be 240.

However, cultivating the Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon and Tiger Gates took a lot of effort.

A complete set of martial arts training will refine 30 points of Qi and Blood into 3 points needed for the martial arts.

Ten times the conversion rate.

Li Ye currently has only 24 points of refined Qi and Blood, but it is the purest Qi and Blood, enough to break through the barrier.

There was just even more food to eat.

These ten tons of rice were originally intended to help me leap over the dragon gate again, but now it seems that if I use martial arts to refine them and convert them tenfold, they will only increase my health by 30 points.

To break through the Second Dragon Gate, he would theoretically need 100 tons of rice, which is simply unaffordable.

Fortunately, he can now go out for meals every day, and his appetite can gradually increase. He can wait until he has enough qi and blood before condensing it and breaking through the second dragon gate.

Instead of relying solely on breakthroughs in qi and blood, it is stored directly as nourishment for martial arts.

"Began to eat!"

Li Ye tore open the rice package and began to cook.

The countryside was very quiet at night, with only the dim yellow light from the bungalow and the moving figures visible through the window.
For the rest of his days, Li Ye followed a very routine.

In the morning, we eat breakfast first, then practice our skills, and then follow Xu Yanwu's instructions to start practicing the moves.

In the Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon and Tiger Gate, the body movement is like a swimming dragon, while the lightness skill requires stepping on the air with the soles of the feet to rise straight up. This is more difficult than the body movement. It is not a simple high jump, but stepping on the air one foot at a time to create the air.

Before learning, practice with these iron stakes, from low to high, and through continuous jumping, master the feeling of stepping on the air.

It's more difficult than movement techniques, but this is the one Li Ye learned first.

Lightness skill emphasizes the control of qi and blood, which is not so difficult for Li Ye.

Even if you can only take three steps at the beginning, it's only because of your limited level.

After mastering the body techniques and lightness skills, Xu Yanwu began to teach other moves.

The Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon and Tiger Gates do not use weapons; they rely heavily on fists and feet, with claw techniques being particularly prominent.

Whether it's a dragon or a tiger, they both use their claws.

This aspect isn't difficult, but it requires long-term commitment. Once you've mastered the techniques for generating power and developed muscle memory, you need to practice diligently until it's ingrained in your bones. That's how you master a move.

Li Ye stopped going to the disinfection bureau. His daily routine consisted of practicing martial arts and eating, then eating and practicing martial arts again.

24、40、57、75、95、120
His refined qi and blood were increasing day by day, and the amount of food served each day was also increasing. Moreover, he would go to his rented room at night to finish off the leftover rice.

After studying martial arts for half a month, Li Ye refined 300 points of his Qi and Blood from a total of 3,000 points of ordinary Qi and Blood, just enough to break through to the Second Dragon Gate.

The Qi and Blood threshold from the Second Dragon Gate to the Third Dragon Gate, when quantified, becomes 450.
It’s noon this day.

Boom!
On the iron stake, a figure leaped into the air at lightning speed, creating an air circle by stepping on the air, allowing him to ascend to another level. After stepping on the iron stake with his left foot, he switched to his right foot and stepped on it again, continuing to rise into the air.

It's like a dragon soaring into the sky, its claws reaching out to tread on the clouds, but the air vortex it creates also exudes a sense of explosive power.

After leaping and twisting in the air seven or eight times, Li Ye turned and landed lightly. He then slipped into the gaps in the iron stakes, slithering through them like a snake. He quickly made his way to the end, and with a swift, seamless spin, he turned and grabbed the iron stake with one claw.

squeak! !

A muffled thud accompanied by a strange twisting sound left a deep claw mark on the iron stake, which was as thick as a thigh. The once straight stake bent backward, demonstrating the immense force exerted.

The figure then stood still, exhaling a breath of stale air from its nostrils, but instead of shooting out white vapor as before, the breath was longer and more drawn out.

"Moving like a dragon, strong like a tiger, and with a body of metal. This is only the Second Dragon Gate, and he's already showing signs of something." Pan Zhengyang, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue in amazement and looked at Xu Yanwu, "I always thought you only started to become abnormal when you were in the Nine Dragon Gate."

"Pure martial arts refinement, of course the higher the realm, the more powerful it is. The Two Dragons Sect should not be underestimated, but it is indeed more powerful than I thought. Li Ye put his heart into it."

Xu Yanwu said calmly, "Besides, without this much power, you won't enjoy spending money."

Upon hearing this, Pan Zhengyang clutched his chest, feigning heartache.

"Li Ye, come eat." Xu Yanwu didn't look at him, but said to Li Ye in front of the iron stake.

"Here you are, Master."

After catching his breath, Li Ye smiled at the two of them and walked over.

However, they didn't go towards the stone table. There were only a few dishes on the stone table, which Pan Zhengyang ate with Xu Yanwu during his visit.

And his meal
Li Ye walked to a large cauldron that was half a person's height, took out five kinds of chopsticks with his right hand, and lifted the cauldron with his left hand. He easily lifted the cauldron and placed it directly in front of his face. He tilted the cauldron and guided the chopsticks in to eat.

Starting two days ago, the place where Li Ye's food was served changed from the wide stone table to a large cauldron.

Just as Pan Zhengyang once said, Li Ye's meals now can be described as "lavish and extravagant".

After so many days of disguise, his appetite gradually increased, so the two of them stopped preparing food to aid digestion for him. Now he was eating only hearty dishes, all mixed together in one pot and cooked directly.

It doesn't matter how it tastes; with Five Flavors Chopsticks, even the worst food can become delicious.

It would taste good even if you put two cigarette butts in it!
The benefit of his huge appetite is that Li Ye can now increase his ordinary Qi and blood by about 200 points with each of his three meals a day, which is equivalent to 20 points of refined Qi.

The downsides, huh?
"It cost me 100,000 a day."

Pan Zhengyang wasn't faking his heartache; he was genuinely heartbroken.

With his connections, getting these ingredients wouldn't be too expensive; they wouldn't be the same as what's sold outside, but they wouldn't be cheap either. Given Li Ye's appetite, he spends an average of 100,000 yuan a day.

"If this goes to Kowloon Gate, I'm going to sell my collection." Pan Zhengyang cursed.

Money is no problem; his family is very wealthy. At worst, they can sell some of their old collections.

"Who mentioned Kowloon Gate?" Xu Yanwu said.

"Huh? You're almost dead before you even reach the Nine Dragons Gate, and you only have this one successor? Shouldn't you just let him grow up properly?" Pan Zhengyang asked in surprise.

Xu Yanwu shook his head: "There's no need. No matter how strong a martial artist is raised, he will lack a certain spirit. Besides, how long can you raise him? Let alone going to a martial arts university, even if he goes to a martial arts department, he still needs to undergo training. The Three Dragons Gate is enough; he can protect himself."

"Director Pan, that's more than enough help."

During the meal, Li Ye looked up and joked, "If this continues, too much kindness will turn into enmity, and I'll have to kill someone if I can't repay the debt."

"Go away! You're barely out of your teens and you're already killing people? Do you think you're in our day?"

Pan Zhengyang rolled his eyes, then nodded and said to Xu Yanwu, "Okay, I'll listen to you, it'll be Three Dragons Gate."

Li Ye grinned and continued eating.

Director Pan's kindness is beyond repayment.

They gave him magical artifacts, dealt with his troubles, gave him a white-collar salary, provided him with a master to teach him unparalleled martial arts, and even provided him with three meals a day at such a high cost.
He had only done Pan Zhengyang a small favor, yet the return was so great. Even if the big shot didn't care, Li Ye was still very satisfied.

One should not be so shamelessly greedy.

With power and martial arts skills, how could he not find ingredients?

Most of these ingredients were obtained from demons, weren't they?

If all else fails, I can just spend more time cooking!
