Rapid Cultivation

A week is plenty of time to prepare for the prison break, but it's far too short for cultivation.

Lu Bai wasted no time and immediately opened the book on Body Tempering Method.

The preface is only two pages long.

After reading it, Lu Bai had a basic understanding of this cultivation system.

In the world of this Deathmatch Arena, those superhuman powerhouses are a reasonable existence.

After all, everyone in this world has a dantian within their body, which, if used correctly, can cultivate internal Internal Energy.

Successfully cultivating Internal Energy signifies embarking on the path of a martial artist.

Unfortunately, the dantian in the human body cannot be seen or touched; it can only be felt by the individual.

But this kind of thing feels too mysterious; everyone is different, and there's no quantifiable standard.

Some people can sense the existence of Internal Energy after practicing the Body Tempering Method for two or three days.

However, some people, even those who cultivate the most exquisite methods, may never even get to the point of mastering the basics in their entire lives.

This first step requires an extremely high level of talent, and countless people get stuck and can't even get started.

But if one were to cultivate Internal Energy, that would be extraordinary.

This Internal Energy isn't just for increasing your strength.

At that point, you can begin formal body training.

It's important to understand that these cultivation methods are collectively referred to as Body Tempering Method because Internal Energy can be used to temper a martial artist's body and comprehensively improve their physical qualities.

After tempering the body with Internal Energy, one can easily withstand bullets like Brother Biao, and live to be two or three hundred years old with ease.

Is there a limit to how much Internal Energy can be used to temper the body?

The answer is yes.

After entering the basics, as long as martial artists are willing to spend the time, they can all temper their entire body with Internal Energy.

At that time, new problems arose.

Martial artists will find that their Internal Energy seems to be no different from Internal Energy of others in terms of intensity.

Everyone has undergone full-body tempering, so their physical fitness is roughly the same.

There may be some individual differences, but they are basically at the same level.

This kind of physical exercise, to some extent, is actually closer to the category of health-preserving exercises, at most with extremely strict entry requirements.

However, geniuses exist everywhere.

Gradually, some martial artists discovered that Internal Energy could also be refined.

After a long period of trial and error, it was confirmed that precise compression of Internal Energy can indeed improve Internal Energy level.

From that moment on, this cultivation system was fully formed.

Simply put, cultivation is about refining the methods of controlling Internal Energy and mastering the Internal Energy to utilize it.

From overt strength to covert strength, the final application of strength depends on the mind.

It is precisely because of this that the hierarchy of this cultivation system is still quite vague at present.

There are only three general levels: Acquired Postnatal Martial Artist, Innate Martial Artist, and Grandmaster, which correspond to the level of skill in exerting power.

"Dantian?"

Lu Bai closed his eyes thoughtfully and sensed his Internal Energy according to the method described in the Body Tempering Method.

He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to become a martial artist.

After three Deathmatch Showdown, his talent level reached just over one hundred.

Based on the standard that an average person's talent is around five points, such an exaggerated value of over a hundred points of talent, even if not unique, should be considered a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand.

That is indeed the case.

Even before Lu Bai could fully calm down, despite the constant noises from the woman in the next room, he easily felt a warmth in his heart, like a wisp of morning mist.

Both the time it takes to sense Internal Energy and the harsh environment are enough to make anyone who understands the difficulty of becoming a martial artist drop their jaw.

"Next, should we start body training?"

Lu Bai sat down cross-legged.

By extracting energy and gradually strengthening the Internal Energy in his dantian, Lu Bai controlled this Internal Energy, channeling it through his limbs and bones.

Unfortunately, even after half an hour, it was still a long way from completely tempering a single finger.

On the contrary, because he had consumed too much energy, he experienced a severe feeling of hunger.

Tempering the body with Internal Energy is a gradual and gradual process.

But Lu Bai felt he probably didn't have the time.

So, is there a better option?

He hesitated for a moment, then began to try to compress the Internal Energy in his dantian according to the method in this Wu Gang.

The orthodox method of cultivation involves sensing Internal Energy and then spending sufficient time allowing Internal Energy to thoroughly temper the entire body.

Only after one's physical fitness has reached its current limit and one is sufficiently familiar with one's Internal Energy will one begin to attempt to compress Internal Energy.

After all, this kind of Internal Energy compression is dangerous. When it comes to breaking through a bottleneck, if you fail nine out of ten times, the success rate is considered high.

It's like pressing a spring down until it's completely flat; if you're not careful, it will bounce back after hitting bottom.

If one's physical condition is insufficient, one simply cannot withstand the violent backlash of Internal Energy.

Moreover, even if one compresses their Internal Energy to the Grandmaster level, it still takes time to temper their entire body.

It can be said that the risks of training one's strength in advance are too high, while the benefits are few and far between.

It simply makes the Internal Energy force more powerful, but it also makes it easy to injure oneself before one can even use it due to insufficient physical strength.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bai's act of attempting to cultivate Internal Energy as soon as he sensed it can be described as madness.

But to be honest, Lu Bai didn't think his behavior was reckless.

In his perception, this peculiar energy of Internal Energy seemed quite docile under his control; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being as easy as using one's own arm.

He easily kneaded the fist-sized ball of Internal Energy within his body into various shapes.

He wouldn't have tried so easily if he wasn't confident.

Calm down and control these Internal Energy, allowing them to gather and compress together.

Compress, compress... and compress again.

I don't know how much time passed.

Tick-tock~

Lu Bai seemed to be hallucinating the sound of water droplets falling.

The Internal Energy, which resembled a hazy mist, gradually began to transform from a gaseous state into a liquid state.

Splash~

It felt as if a rain was falling in my dantian, making me feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Ming Jin? It doesn't seem too difficult..."

Lu Bai paused to catch his breath, then closed his eyes and continued compressing his Internal Energy.

Next, all you need to do is convert the liquid Internal Energy in your dantian into a solid state, and you'll be all set.

However, it is precisely at such a crucial moment that someone always comes to cause trouble.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The room door was being violently pounded on, and thanks to the hotel room's poor soundproofing, Lu Bai could hear the cursing and swearing outside the door clearly.

"White Shark Gang is on a mission; bystanders please stay away!"

"You son of a bitch, open the door!"

"I almost fell for your act, damn it, I thought you had some powerful connections, turns out you just arrived in Chikan Bay today."

"Open the door now! I see your light is on. Don't play dumb!"
