Reinforcement! Indestructible Divine Skill

When Lu Siye returned to Tongjiang Residential Complex, it was already past two in the afternoon.

Back home, Lu Siye saw two small porcelain bottles placed on the coffee table in the living room, with a note underneath.

He pulled out the note, which contained a message written in what he could tell was Fang Lanyue's handwriting.

'Someone from the Town Demon Suppression Division asked me to give this to you. I didn't peek at what it was!'

Lu Siye smiled and shook his head, placing the note back on the table. He casually picked up one of the small porcelain bottles.

Opening it, he found the Blood Replenishment Pills he had redeemed earlier. There were ten pills in each bottle, so two bottles meant twenty pills, just as expected.

After putting away the Blood Replenishment Pills, Lu Siye went into the bedroom. He looked at the Spirit Nether Jade Disc lying quietly on the quilt, found his old briefcase, placed the disc inside, and then put the briefcase into his System space.

[Oh my god, it's so dark! Fear Points +66!]

[...]

Listening to the prompts in his ear, Lu Siye's lips curved slightly.

After ensuring his surroundings were safe, Lu Siye placed the purchased copy of the Indestructible Divine Skill on the table.

As far as Lu Siye knew, the Indestructible Divine Skill was one of the Shaolin Temple's Seventy-Two Unique Skills, and it was also one of the ten most difficult ultimate techniques to master, considered the supreme divine skill of the Shaolin sect.

Its characteristics were: indestructible and immune to all evils.

This was the most important reason Lu Siye was interested in this cultivation technique.

As per usual, before reinforcing his cultivation techniques, Lu Siye glanced at the System panel.

Host: Lu Siye

Fear Points:

Cultivation Power: 318 years (External Skill: 275 years; Internal Skill: 43 years)

Martial Arts Techniques: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill Level 4; Body Tempering Art; Five Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique Mastery; Northern Darkness Divine Art Novice; Lingbo Microstep Novice

Special Items: Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife; Blazing Blood Blade +1 (PS: Regarding martial arts manuals, they will no longer be repeatedly mentioned in the future)

In the span of one night, despite the perilous situations, the gains were immense. He had accumulated over eight thousand Fear Points alone, and his savings had broken the five-figure mark for the first time, with Black Abyss contributing the most.

It was a shame that if the Net's rescue hadn't arrived so quickly at the end, Lu Siye could have squeezed out several thousand more Fear Points.

He suddenly felt a pain so intense he couldn't breathe.

Closing the System panel, Lu Siye looked at the fake manual before him and silently willed for reinforcement.

"Does the host wish to consume 1600 Fear Points to reinforce the Indestructible Divine Skill?"

Hiss!

Just like that, it was asking to drain more than a tenth of his savings. It was truly painful.

Despite the pain, he had no choice but to reinforce it. After all, only by strengthening his power could he better extract Fear Points from the ghosts.

After tasting the sweet rewards of three-digit Fear Points provided by Black Abyss, he was no longer satisfied with the two-digit income from ordinary Evil Ghosts.

Every investment in the early stages was for better returns later on.

So, he went for it!

"Reinforce!" Lu Siye declared resolutely in his heart.

Swish, swish, swish!

The fake manual fluttered in the wind, emitting a golden divine radiance. Countless characters leaped from the pages like swimming fish before settling back down, returning to stillness.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Indestructible Divine Skill: Novice Chapter'!"

Novice!? Good heavens!

Lu Siye picked up the reinforced, genuine manual from the table and flipped it open.

The Indestructible Divine Skill had four stages after reinforcement: Novice, Proficient, Great Accomplishment, and Divine Mastery, which were quite similar to the stage divisions of other techniques.

Upon successfully reaching the Novice stage, when circulating energy, the entire body would be coated in a layer of flowing gold, greatly increasing one's defensive capabilities. Before the golden body was broken, it possessed the characteristics of being immune to all evils and repelling all external energies.

Upon reaching the Proficient stage, one could unify all their internal energy, allowing every punch and kick to unleash their full strength. Furthermore, any damage taken could be dispersed throughout the entire body, greatly enhancing both defense and offense.

The Great Accomplishment stage allowed the practitioner's physical body and internal energy to become as one, as solid and indestructible as a golden Arhat, granting complete control over the body and the ability to suppress all malevolent entities.

The final stage, Divine Mastery, was truly formidable. Once activated, it could manifest an external golden Arhat body, whose size could be adjusted at will, with its strength determined by the user's True Qi potency.

Looking at this final stage, it increasingly resembled the Daoist technique of "externalizing the self," having already stepped half a foot beyond the realm of martial arts.

Moreover, the Indestructible Divine Skill was not purely an external martial art; it was also a cultivation technique that trained both internal and external aspects, though it primarily focused on defense and secondarily on internal force.

After reading the introduction, Lu Siye exclaimed that the 1600 Fear Points were well spent.

Lu Siye wasted no further time and began cultivating according to the methods described in the manual.

The cultivation of the Indestructible Divine Skill was still quite demanding on Blood Essence. However, with Lu Siye's current cultivation level at the First Realm of the Night Wanderer Envoy, his abundant Blood Essence was more than sufficient to support the consumption for the novice level of this technique.

As the cultivation method circulated, the surging Blood Essence within his body began to merge with his skin, continuously strengthening the toughness of his epidermis.

Simultaneously, a portion of the Blood Essence started to circulate around his meridians, gradually being converted into the most rigid and yang-aligned Indestructible Inner Force, which then flowed into his Dantian along the meridians.

Upon contact with the Indestructible Inner Force, the Northern Darkness Inner Force within the Dantian suddenly accelerated its rotation, and a suction force erupted, centered on the Northern Darkness Origin True Qi.

The newly born Indestructible Inner Force was like a bear cub being dragged along by its father; no matter how much it struggled, it was futile.

After devouring the Indestructible Inner Force, the Northern Darkness Origin True Qi's aura changed, transforming into an aura identical to the Indestructible Inner Force. However, this change only lasted for a while before reverting to its previous state.

Subsequently, the excess Indestructible Inner Force began to be steadily converted into Northern Darkness Inner Force.

The claim that the Northern Darkness Divine Art was based on Yin and Yang and compatible with all martial arts under the heavens was no exaggeration. The Origin True Qi had already recorded all the characteristics of the Indestructible Inner Force.

It wasn't until the evening glow in the sky appeared and then vanished that Lu Siye opened his eyes.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Indestructible Divine Skill. The Northern Darkness Inner Force in his Dantian transformed into Indestructible Inner Force and surged out. Within a few breaths, his body surface turned a faint golden color, making him look like a shoddy, gilded little golden man.

Lu Siye took out the Blazing Blood Blade, which still bore a faint palm print on its blade, and turned the edge to cut his own arm.

A slight pain spread through his arm. When he removed the Blazing Blood Blade, the place he had cut only showed a red mark and was not bleeding.

Lu Siye nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the effect. He then stopped circulating the technique, and his body returned to normal.

This defensive divine skill could barely be considered entry-level. The next step was to continuously strengthen his skin with Blood Essence until it could turn pure gold without the assistance of inner force. Only then would he have reached the end of the introductory stage.
