I am a high-level martial arts master.

[White Dragon Body] [White Dragon Breath] [White Dragon Wrath]

"oops"

Looking at the values ​​displayed on the panel, Ye Li gritted his teeth in regret!

The other white-label entries broke too early!

If you put all the +21 from a powerful character onto these three stats, it would be overflowing!

Of course, this is just Ye Li's hindsight.

If he were really allowed to go back to the past, he would still need to be added to the list of "strongmen".

Without the "Strong Man" perk: Physical attributes increased by 147%, it was impossible to win the previous competition.

He's no match for Deng Yi, who's in the mid-stage of the Houtian realm, and might even be kicked to death by Yuan Pan like a roadside animal.

Only by surviving the past can you have the chance to regret it now.

However, despite understanding, Ye Li still felt a pang of regret: "If I destroy the strongman now, will I be able to add 22 to these three entries?"

I dare not gamble...

At this critical moment, Ye Li cannot make such an attempt.

If the attempt fails, one's physical condition will drop to 3% of its original level, which will have a huge impact on combat effectiveness.

"Let's put [Strongman] aside for now and make a decision after this matter is over." Ye Li made this decision with difficulty. He would collect three useless white entries, break them together, and see if the enhancement effect could be preserved before deciding whether to break [Strongman]. After all, he had only opened 28 bone acupoints so far.

Even if the experiment succeeds, destroying the "strongman" will still weaken his combat power.

Ye Li focused his gaze on the three entries on the panel.

[Dragon Body] 1% increase in physical attributes!

[Dragon Breath] 1% of True Qi!

Alternatively, [Dragon's Fury] increases the body's true energy by 0.5% each!

Without hesitation, Ye Li first gave up on [Dragon's Fury].

Being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none is not as effective as focusing on extreme stats for a greater boost to combat power.

Then, Ye Li gave up on [Dragon Breath].

These past few days he's come to realize that internal energy isn't an absolute multiplication factor like in a stat, but rather a simple addition. Furthermore, the stronger one's physical attributes, the smaller the increase in power.

When he first entered the Acquired Realm, his internal energy could increase his strength by more than 20 times, which was equivalent to the power of a fully tempered body.

As a result, after his bone orifices opened and his cultivation level rose, the effect of his internal energy increased by 30 times, but it was completely disproportionate to his increased physical fitness. Simply put, internal energy was a good thing for Tyson, but it was useless for Taro.

In this situation, a 1% increase in the quantity of true qi does not mean a 1% increase in the quality of true qi; at most, it just means greater durability.

To improve the quality of one's true energy, one must break through to a higher realm.

For example, when one progresses from the early stage of the Acquired Realm to the middle stage, the quality of the True Qi will be compressed, becoming more refined.

"It seems I still have to take the path of physical ascension to sainthood."

In this situation, Ye Li decisively chose [White Dragon Body].

hum!

The other two option entries quickly dimmed and disappeared.

The entry for "[Dragon Body]" suddenly lit up, transforming into a warm yet powerful current that instantly merged into the 28 bone acupoints opened by Ye Li! "Clang... Crack... Clang crack..."

Subtle yet dense rumbling sounds emanated from his body, as if countless small dragons were swimming and transforming deep within his bones.

The flesh and bones became denser, tougher, and more explosively powerful at a visible speed.

With enhanced physical strength, a surge of vitality coursed through his limbs and bones, accelerating the healing of any hidden injuries and internal bleeding left from previous battles, and significantly reducing the pain.

In addition to physical enhancement, the quality of true qi has also improved.

Since true qi is a mixture of spiritual energy, soul, and blood, the strengthening of the physical body at this moment also slightly increases the purity of true qi.

Feeling the pure physical power surging within him, nearly twice as strong as when he fought Yuan Pan three days ago, Ye Li's lips curled into a cold smile.

If he were to encounter Yuan Pan again, he could kill him on the spot within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, relying on his physical strength.

Unblinded by the joy of becoming stronger, Ye Li maintained his composure.

His goals extend far beyond Yuanpan; this is merely the beginning.

After a brief period of joy, he was preparing to embark on a long period of spiritual practice.

But then, Ye Li saw a furtive, sly figure secretly watching him from a distance in the cave, having been observing him for quite some time. Just one glance. Ye Li felt his heart skip a beat, and he instinctively averted his gaze.

"Miss Jiang, you've been staring at me for half an hour."

Ye Li dared not look directly at him, but said jokingly, "If you have something to say, come closer and say it. We don't need to be so formal."

Due to the tenfold fear effect, Ye Li is now terrified whenever he sees lightning.

Fortunately, Jiang's fear level was not as high as Wei's, so it was not so bad that she would be terrified at just a glance.

In the distance, Jiang Xiyue, her face slightly flushed after being pointed out, stepped forward with concern and said, "You haven't rested for several days, and... and..." "And?"

"Furthermore, Miss Wei said that your injuries have not yet healed and you need to rest. If you force yourself to cultivate, it may shorten your lifespan."

"Did Miss Wei say that?" Ye Li raised an eyebrow, a strange look on his face.

Why would she suddenly bring this up with you?

"Of course it was me... I was the one who asked her first!"

These words churned in Jiang Xiyue's heart, but she was too embarrassed to say them aloud.

These past few days, Ye Li has been cultivating desperately as if possessed, and even when he talks to her, his eyes always seem to dart away.

This sense of alienation made her inexplicably uneasy, as if something was blocking her heart. She was too embarrassed to ask Ye Li directly, so she had to go around to Wei Wanxi to inquire.

However, the aloof Miss Wei was evasive about the matter, only vaguely telling her to ask Ye Li herself, and casually mentioning that his injuries had not yet healed and he needed to rest... This made Jiang Xiyue even more suspicious.

"Oh dear! Sir, don't worry about who said it!" Jiang Xiyue blushed slightly at the question, her expression a mix of embarrassment, annoyance, and domineering arrogance. She grabbed Ye Li's hand.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, yet her movements carried an undeniable force as she firmly placed a small, warm-to-the-touch jade bottle into his large palm: "Here, take it!"

"What is this?" Ye Li looked at the jade porcelain bottle in his hand.

She turned her face away, her gaze drifting elsewhere, not daring to look Ye Li in the eye, her voice trying hard to maintain the haughtiness of a young lady: "The Panacea, I... have the last one left."

She paused, her chin slightly raised, and spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone: "It can cure all poisons and has miraculous effects on healing injuries. It's a life-saving item that my family specially kept for me."

"I see you look so pitiful, and you're working so hard, so I'll reward you. Eat this and cultivate diligently."

"Girl, being tsundere is outdated now," Ye Lixin said.

The girl, who used to be very clever and quirky, has recently started to speak with a hint of arrogance, unlike her previous carefree and unrestrained nature.

"However... a tsundere girl seems pretty good too."

Ye Li looked down at the Myriad Spirit Pill in his hand and said seriously:

"This elixir can cure all poisons in the world and is extremely precious. My injuries are actually not serious and I only need to rest for a few days."

"If we give it to Miss Wei, helping her remove the poison from her right arm and restore her fighting strength, it will be of great help to our overall situation." "Miss Wei! Miss Wei! Why do you keep mentioning that Miss Wei!"

Jiang Xiyue's jealousy and grievances were instantly ignited, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"I don't need you to remind me!" She glared at Ye Li irritably, her voice suddenly turning cold.

"The last Panacea was already sent to your Miss Wei! This one in your hand is the last one!"
