Entering the Inner Refinement Stage!

"Su Ti, the first three moves, King Python Hand, Double Python Whip, and Scaled Python Armor, you can force them out in the Tongli Stage, although it will severely damage your body, it won't be fatal."

"But Violent Python Roar, although this move is one form, it is divided into two uses: Sound Strike and Qi Sword. These two uses are absolutely forbidden before you reach the Perfected Circle Realm. Using them will cause your body to explode and die."

"Perfected Circle Realm?"

"Yes."

Long Yuanzheng nodded. Although Su Ti didn't need this last move, he still taught it to Su Ti in advance.

"Perfected Circle Realm is a realm after both Inner Refinement and fighting techniques have reached great completion. After reaching this realm, you can control the muscles and blood flow throughout your body. Not only is your sensitivity greatly increased, you can even detect the weight of a fly landing on your shoulder, and you can attack with any part of your body."

"However, you are still in the Tongli Stage now, you haven't even reached the first layer of Inner Refinement, and you've just learned the fighting techniques. You are still a long way from the Perfected Circle Realm."

Remembering the scene two days ago when he sparred with Long Yuanzheng and the other party hit people with his back and knees, Su Ti's eyes showed understanding. So this was the Perfected Circle Realm.

Then he tentatively asked, "Then is Master in the Perfected Circle Realm?"

Long Yuanzheng smiled, "Your Master, I, am above this realm."

Saying that, he put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Su Ti, if you have any questions now, feel free to ask me, and I will answer them for you."

Su Ti thought for a moment and asked.

"What do Minor Completion and Great Completion of Inner Refinement mean?"

Long Yuanzheng smiled faintly and explained.

"Inner Refinement one or two times is Minor Completion, three or four times is Intermediate Completion, and five or six times is Great Completion."

Long Yuanzheng also gave an example.

"Like the Death Fighting Competition represented by Li Zong, D-Class Fighters are often people who have practiced one or two rough martial arts techniques, and they are generally some low-level fighting techniques. Coupled with the physical quality of Black Fist Fighters and their willingness to kill, it is enough to crush ordinary people, and even many modern martial arts masters can't beat them."

"Above them are C-Class Fighters. In addition to fighting techniques, they also have a lot of combat and practical experience at the same level, so they are stronger than D-Class Fighters. Even retired veterans can't fight them."

"At B-Class, that is the realm of Tongli Stage masters. Without the cultivation of the Tongli Stage, it is impossible to gain a foothold in B-Class."

"A-Class is the level of that Demon Mountain you saw. They have entered the Inner Refinement Stage, but they are all at Minor Completion of Inner Refinement, not higher."

"However, that Demon Mountain is not simple. Even among A-Class Fighters, he is one of the strongest. Not only is he naturally strong, possessing divine power like your Eldest Senior Sister, but he also cultivates external techniques, making his skin thick and resistant to hits. You must be careful when you face him."

"Finally, there are S-Class Fighters, who have often reached the level of Intermediate Completion of Inner Refinement. Your Eldest Senior Sister at the third layer of Inner Refinement is at this level, but her practical experience is too little, and she is not an opponent for S-Class Fighters in a real fight."

Long Yuanzheng stopped talking here, and Su Ti also had some understanding of the strength system of Ancient Martial Arts, and couldn't help but ask.

"What about higher?"

"Higher, those who have reached Great Completion of Inner Refinement have gone to establish sects and will not appear in Black Fist arenas."

Long Yuanzheng shook his head.

"People who have reached Great Completion of Inner Refinement are rare in this era. There are only a few in a city. They are either honored guests or guest advisors of some wealthy and powerful families, or they have their own martial halls, or they have created forces."

"And the Perfected Circle Realm is the realm where both practice and fighting techniques have reached great completion, which is even rarer than those who have reached Great Completion of Inner Refinement, because fighting techniques cannot be mastered by just practicing at home."

"Fighting techniques, if you don't fight, you won't get the technique, and if you fight, you break the law. To achieve Great Completion of fighting techniques, you must personally experience danger and fight through life and death. It's not something you can achieve by just practicing health preservation techniques at home."

"Therefore, everyone in the Perfected Circle Realm is a martial arts master with blood on their hands. The battles and stories they have experienced, some of them could fill a book."

Long Yuanzheng was a little thirsty after talking about this, and took a sip of the tea from the teapot. At this time, the sky was already bright. After a night of imparting techniques and explaining, a night had passed unknowingly, and it was eight o'clock in the morning.

"Su Ti, what Master should tell you and teach you today has all been given to you. The rest is up to you."

Long Yuanzheng looked at Su Ti deeply and said so.

There were only seven days left until the duel with Demon Mountain. Even though he admitted that Su Ti had outstanding talent, especially in fighting techniques and combat power, being able to exert his strength 100% or even 120%, but

Such a short time was obviously not enough for Su Ti to break through the Inner Refinement Stage.

With the physique of the Tongli Stage, to fight a fighter who has reached Minor Completion of Inner Refinement, has natural divine power, and also practices external techniques, the chance of winning can be said to be minimal.

But things had reached this point, and Long Yuanzheng could only do his best and leave the rest to fate. He had done everything he should do and taught everything he should teach. The rest depended on Su Ti's own fortune.

"You can arrange these seven days yourself. Whether you practice here with Master, or go somewhere, or do something, it's all up to your own will."

In Long Yuanzheng's opinion, sharpening the spear before the battle in seven days of diligent practice would not achieve much. It was better to leave the time for Su Ti to adjust his state and enter the arena in the best state, perhaps creating a miracle.

"Yes, Master. Then disciple will take his leave first. I will appear at the competition venue on time after seven days to bring glory to our Dragon Gate Martial Hall. Please rest assured."

After saying that, Su Ti bowed deeply to Long Yuanzheng and left.

Long Yuanzheng looked at his back and sighed deeply.

After saying goodbye to Long Yuanzheng, Su Ti first returned home.

Today was Sunday, and his parents' part-time jobs were also off. He hadn't been home for a few days, and his family was already a little dissatisfied.

Although Su Ti told his family that he had found a job at the martial hall that included food and lodging, he was still complained about a lot after returning home.

However, most of the complaints came from Su's Mother. Su's Father was quite satisfied when he heard that Su Ti had found a job, and even nodded with a smile when he asked about the salary of five thousand a month.

"The salary doesn't matter. You can keep the money you earned from your summer job for your own pocket money. The main thing is to use the opportunity of the summer job to train yourself and prepare for entering society in the future."

Su's Mother also asked at this time.

"Working at a martial hall? Which specific martial hall?"

"The Dragon Gate Martial Hall in the city center," Su Ti replied. He had already stepped into the inner world circle with one foot, and it was natural that he might not be home often in the future. Making up a reason that he worked at a martial hall would also serve as an excuse for him being out.

Hearing this, Su's Mother, who had been a little displeased about Su Ti not being home these past few days, softened her expression slightly.

"Dragon Gate Martial Hall, I've seen it when I went shopping in the city center with Xiao Ting. That martial hall is quite grand, and there are quite a lot of people who go there to train."

Su's Father was even more satisfied after hearing this.

"That's good, that's good. It doesn't matter how much money you make, the main thing is that it's legitimate and not some shady martial hall. Working at a martial hall can also strengthen your body, and you can learn some things, like how to conduct yourself, socialize, and so on. These are things you can't learn in school."

Su Ti finding a job made everyone in the family happy. In the evening, Su's Father and Su's Mother even bought Su Ti's favorite pig trotters and crabs to celebrate.

At the dinner table, his parents talked only about Su Ti, which greatly displeased Su Ling, who had lost the spotlight. She pouted and ate the crabs clean without saying a word.

"Su Ling, it's a good thing your brother found a job. You should say a few words of encouragement to him. When he gets paid, he'll take you out to eat something good too."

"Hmph! I don't want his money!"

Su Ling angrily threw down her chopsticks and returned to her room without a word. Although she had been reborn to "save" Su Ti's life, she still found her brother annoying no matter how she looked at him.

At the dinner table, Su's Father and Su's Mother shook their heads at the sight.

Ever since high school, the siblings had been like fire and water, not saying a single word to each other. Su Ti was in college now, and it was still the same.

Meanwhile, Su Ti didn't even look at Su Ling as she left. He shoveled down his food frantically, and before he knew it, he had finished an entire rice cooker.

Looking at his appetite, Su's Mother was a little surprised.

"This child, why is he so hungry now? Ziming, I'll cook some noodles. Do you want some?"

"Cook some for me too. It's good to be able to eat. Su Ti used to be too thin. How come he seems to have gotten stronger after not seeing him for a few days?"

"I've been practicing at the martial hall, Mom. Cook two catties of noodles for me too."

After dinner, Su Ti went out wearing a tracksuit and came to Red Leaf Park, where the two men in black had been dumped.

Although there had been a murder, the park was still quiet, with only the occasional dog bark.

Seeing that there was no one around and it was quiet, Su Ti looked left and right.

"It should be about time..."

Then he turned his gaze to the modifier, his eyes fixed on the plus sign next to the Inner Refinement martial art, Golden Snake Molting.

Boom!

As his gaze focused, the energy began to plummet. The 480% energy rapidly decreased, and the proficiency of Golden Snake Molting began to skyrocket!

Beginner 30%!

Beginner 80%!

Minor Accomplishment 1%!

After reaching the Minor Accomplishment level, Su Ti felt his whole body's skin itching, and his internal organs felt warm, as if being roasted in a furnace. Every pore was frantically breathing in and out, giving him a very strange feeling!

That feeling was like a butterfly wanting to break out of its cocoon, or a python wanting to shed its skin. It was a feeling of the body reaching a certain level and wanting to undergo a transformation!

However, it seemed to be missing something. The Minor Accomplishment level of Golden Snake Molting did not allow Su Ti to break through.

Since Minor Accomplishment wasn't enough, he would continue to add!

As the energy dropped again, the proficiency of Golden Snake Molting began to skyrocket once more.

Minor Accomplishment 20%!

Minor Accomplishment 50%!

Minor Accomplishment 80%!

Intermediate Accomplishment 1%!

Boom!

With a total of 150% energy consumed, Su Ti's Golden Snake Molting finally reached the Intermediate Accomplishment level!

After reaching the Intermediate Accomplishment level, Su Ti felt a boom inside his body. Countless hot currents surged out from his body, rushing towards every internal organ, bone, and muscle cell throughout his body!

"Ah!"

Su Ti half-squatted. After intense pain, an intense itch appeared on his body. His skin actually began to thicken, turn pale, and finally form a layer of keratin that looked like dead skin.

After this change finally ended, Su Ti reached up and tore at his face, and a large piece of pale dead skin peeled off!

He used both hands, and in a short while, he had torn off all the skin that had shed from his body.

A large amount of white skin lay at Su Ti's feet. At this time, Su Ti's skin was a shade whiter than before the shedding, and his pores were also noticeably smaller.

Breathing in the air, feeling as if some impurities had been expelled, and having shed his old skin, his body felt completely new. Su Ti clenched his fists.

"Is this the realm of the Inner Refinement Stage?"
