Outer Martial Arts Mastery

After learning the martial arts, a group of players excitedly challenged each other.

The native mountain bandits were all bewildered, staring blankly at the players who, having just learned martial arts, were already fighting with impressive skill. Their expressions were a mix of shock and defeat.

Second Boss Xiong Ba exclaimed, "The Great Mountain Lord truly has a keen eye for talent. These new brothers who joined us are all martial arts prodigies, mastering their skills in just one day. Such talent..."

Recalling his own past, Xiong Ba couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He was far inferior.

In the room, a single lamp flickered, its light casting Jiang Dali's imposing figure onto the wall, making him appear like a colossal demon, exuding immense power.

At this moment, Jiang Dali was checking his current status.

"Jiang Dali [Black Wind Stronghold Master (Inner Qi Realm Great BOSS), Vitality 5200/5200, Inner Qi 300/300]

Cultivation Points: 1920

Potential Points: 1930"

After harvesting a wave of players, his Cultivation Points and Potential Points had increased significantly.

Currently, 20 players, including Hua Kai Jian Hong, were still on their way back.

Once he harvested this group of players again, Jiang Dali felt he would be able to break through to the Outer Qi Realm.

This meant that on his journey to Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold tomorrow, he would be able to advance to become a minor expert in the Outer Qi Realm.

"After breaking through the realm, my vitality, inner qi, and physical fitness will all greatly improve. At that time, my combat power will naturally be completely different from now."

Jiang Dali was quite looking forward to it.

As for conquering Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold and Chongfeng Mountain Stronghold, he didn't think it would be a big problem.

These bandit strongholds, including Black Wind Stronghold, were actually the weakest forces in the Comprehensive Martial World.

In his previous life, before players became stronger and left their villages and towns, they would team up to attack surrounding strongholds.

Many player guilds would even forcibly capture a stronghold to serve as their guild base.

Jiang Dali himself had also teamed up with some players to do similar things in the past.

In this life, his current strength was much greater than when he first left his county town and village. Moreover, he had a large number of brothers at his disposal, making it almost a sure thing.

Composing himself, Jiang Dali stared at "Iron Cloth Skill," which was at 5th Realm with 67% progress. He directly consumed 330 Potential Points to upgrade "Iron Cloth Skill" to the 6th Realm: Outstanding.

The 3rd Realm was considered slightly accomplished.

The 6th Realm, Outstanding, could be considered the perfected stage of martial arts in the Comprehensive Martial World.

Jiang Dali felt his understanding of the hardening skill "Iron Cloth Skill" had greatly deepened.

At the same time, a prompt flashed across his status panel and disappeared.

""Iron Cloth Skill" cultivated to the 6th Realm: Outstanding. Passive sharp weapon defense permanently increased to 60%, active sharp weapon defense increased to 600%, vitality increased by 200, with added states of invulnerability to blades and spears, increasing strength, increasing inner qi, and increasing stamina."

In an instant, Jiang Dali felt his physique had also been significantly strengthened.

The fat beneath his skin seemed to have transformed into fascia, like cowhide, full of toughness and elasticity.

A wave of heat suddenly surged within his body, spreading to all his limbs, meridians, and acupoints, causing him to break out in a sweat.

Compared to the 5th Realm "Iron Cloth Skill" before the upgrade, the 6th Realm "Iron Cloth Skill" was much more potent.

His passive defense had increased by ten percent even without actively using the skill, and his active defense had increased by a hundred percent. Furthermore, his vitality had increased by 200.

He opened his status panel.

Looking at his vitality, which had reached 5400 points, Jiang Dali chuckled.

He was truly walking further and further down the path of a tank.

Compared to players of the same realm, his vitality was at least ten times greater.

Seeing that he had 1600 Potential Points remaining, Jiang Dali seized the opportunity and consumed all 1600 Potential Points, upgrading the Human Grade skill "Golden Body Skill" to the 3rd Realm: Slightly Accomplished.

Human Grade skills were, after all, different from Mortal Grade skills; the Potential Points required for advancement were double that of Mortal Grade skills.

Originally, the cultivation progress of "Golden Body Skill" was only 20%.

After Jiang Dali consumed 1600 Potential Points, the remaining 80% progress of "Golden Body Skill" was directly advanced.

A prompt flashed across the panel.

"Golden Body Skill cultivated to the 3rd stage, minor accomplishment. Passive physical damage resistance and defense are constantly enhanced to 60%, active damage resistance and defense are enhanced to 600%. Vitality increased by 100. Additional effects: blunt weapon damage reduction, inner energy damage reduction, strength increase, vigor increase, stamina increase."

Jiang Dali kicked away the meditation cushion and stood up. He took a deep breath and simultaneously activated the Iron Cloth Skill and Golden Body Skill.

Whoosh—

His eyes widened abruptly. The stream of air he inhaled passed through his abdomen and then sprayed out from his throat, producing a sound like a dragon's roar or a tiger's growl.

Poof—

The lamp on the table was instantly extinguished and then, blown by the gust of air, it swayed and toppled over.

Jiang Dali's skin color also changed at this moment, a dark blue mixed with a faint dark gold. With every movement, his bones clanged like metal against metal, and the pulling of his muscles sounded like the release of a fully drawn bowstring.

Hoo— His thick, muscular palm chopped towards the Nine-Ringed Golden Saber beside him.

Clang!

His palm contacted the Nine-Ringed Golden Saber, like a block of iron wrapped in rubber and mounted on a spring colliding with it.

The Nine-Ringed Golden Saber was directly flung far away.

Jiang Dali raised his hand to look. The thick callus on his palm only bore a white mark.

This palm strike, delivered with seventy percent of his strength, had made contact with the Nine-Ringed Golden Saber but hadn't even scratched the skin.

Even though the Nine-Ringed Golden Saber was only a third-rank weapon, such defensive power was astonishing.

"Internally cultivate a breath, externally train muscles and bones! My external martial arts are already quite good."

A smile appeared on Jiang Dali's face.

Even by the standards of his past life, his current external martial arts were already exceptionally solid.

He lifted his hips and shook his shoulders. His hands and feet trembled slightly, and a tingling force flowed through his entire body with his movements.

He settled into a horse stance.

Bang!

The ground in the entire room seemed to shake beneath his feet a few times.

He raised his right hand.

His arm muscles bulged, and the dark blue veins looked extremely terrifying. Jiang Dali pressed forward slightly with one palm.

Instantly, a mighty palm force condensed between his palms, and the empty space about a meter in front of him seemed to swirl with a terrifying and violent aura.

Great Vajra Palm—Vajra Bow!

This palm strike, with power originating from his waist and legs and flowing through his entire body, was as if the power of a Vajra had condensed in his palm.

The force of this palm strike, amplified by the two great external martial arts techniques, was enough to break stone.

"Hoo..."

He retracted his palm and held his breath. In the dark room, the atmosphere felt suppressed. Jiang Dali's eyes shone brightly like cold stars, filled with confidence and ambition.

At the same time.

More than fifty miles away, at Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold, three groups of people had gathered to discuss how to deal with Black Wind Stronghold. They were currently discussing how to personally kill the Black Wind Stronghold Master, Jiang Dali.
