After completing Second Blood Forging, Wu Ming felt clear changes in just a few short days.
His refined Blood Qi coursed through the meridians throughout his body, stimulating every muscle and layer of skin. While strengthening his muscles further, it also caused the skin across his entire body to undergo transformation each day.
The skin enveloped the body's muscles. It was not only an important layer of defense for the human body, but also the key to protecting it from injury caused by its own exertion. If the skin was too fragile, then even if one had mastered sufficiently advanced techniques for exerting force and could gather the strength of the entire body into a single point for an explosive burst, it would still tear at one's own flesh and cause muscle damage.
However,
when the skin became stronger and firmly wrapped around the muscles, it could easily withstand the explosive release of force.
Crossing from First Blood Forging into Second Blood Forging, once the body's transformation was complete, the increase in strength might not be especially great—at most, around thirty percent—but resistance to blows, endurance, and every other aspect would improve dramatically.

It thrust repeatedly at astonishing speed, faint afterimages appearing in its wake. Swish, swish, swish! He unleashed a full sixteen thrusts in succession!
This was the Falling Leaf Spear Technique's most powerful killing move after it had been thoroughly mastered, called "Falling Leaf Traceless." It referred to a tremor passing through a tree's canopy, sending countless fallen leaves drifting down, yet after the spear had thrust again and again, not a single leaf could be seen
