Adding Points and Hidden Dangers

The raging fires of Black Wind Stockade illuminated half the night sky.

Yan Kui didn't look back. Carrying the Bone Shattering Hammer, he disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest with heavy yet swift steps.

This battle at Black Wind Stockade had given him a clearer understanding of his own flaws. Although his physical defense had reached the mortal limit, facing an opponent like Zhu San, who was semi-demonized, his pure physical strength and the resilience of his demonic bloodline still caused him considerable trouble. Especially the backlash of internal energy from the opponent had made his internal organs feel a faint pressure once again.

He needed a more comprehensive physical reinforcement.

In a hidden cave far from Black Wind Stockade, Yan Kui settled down once more. He didn't dare spend the night in the wilderness now. Who knew if some cultivator might pass by, see his demonic visage, and decide to "exterminate evil" by taking him down.

He lit a fire starter, and the dim light illuminated the cave.

He couldn't wait to check the system.

"Savage Boar Ramming Technique..."

Yan Kui's gaze fell on the newly recorded technique.

Although the name of this technique was incredibly crude, the system rated it as a "mortal hard technique." Moreover, at the stockade, Zhu San had already practiced it to the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.

More importantly, this technique, named "Ramming Tree," must have its unique aspects. Although Zhu San was semi-demon, his strength and defense were considered top-tier in the Body Refinement Realm, and he possessed a certain resilience in his internal organs.

This was exactly what Yan Kui needed right now.

He now possessed nearly a hundred points of Origin Power, enough to advance this technique to Great Accomplishment or even break its limit.

"System, upgrade Savage Boar Ramming Technique!"

[Consumed 1.0 Origin Power, Savage Boar Ramming Technique initiated.] [Consumed 2.0 Origin Power, Savage Boar Ramming Technique minor accomplishment.] [Consumed 4.0 Origin Power, Savage Boar Ramming Technique Great Accomplishment!]

A surge of energy, rougher and wilder than that of Raging Bull Fist, instantly flooded Yan Kui's body.

This time, the energy flowed directly towards his internal organs.

He felt his lungs constricting, his liver trembling, and his kidneys pulsating. The dull ache of his minor injuries actually receded rapidly under the nourishment of the energy flow.

His internal organs seemed to be wrapped in a layer of tough, gelatinous material, becoming more dense.

On the surface of his body, strange changes also began to appear.

"This..."

Yan Kui touched his arm.

His skin, originally like cast black iron, now had a layer of dull grayish-brown, and short, thick black hairs had even grown on it!

Although these hairs were not long, they were dense, like the bristles of a wild boar, gleaming with a cold luster in the firelight.

"System! What's going on?!"

Yan Kui's face darkened.

He didn't want to turn into a monster covered in fur.

[Warning: Host's life blueprint deviation detected.] [Analysis: Savage Boar Ramming Technique contains trace amounts of biological structure information from the "Savage Boar" beast. Long-term cultivation will lead to "demonic" characteristics appearing in the host's external genes.] [Prompt: This is a common issue with low-level beast-mimicking techniques. Host need not panic. The "Essence Plunder" function can be unlocked later, or through "System Fusion," impurities can be removed and the host's life essence optimized.]

"Optimize..."

Yan Kui's mouth twitched.

He looked at the mirror-smooth head of the Bone Shattering Hammer, which clearly reflected his current savage appearance.

Besides the black hair, his nostrils seemed to have widened, and his teeth protruded slightly, giving him a mixed aura of a pig's ferocity and simple-mindedness.

"This is... embarrassing."

Yan Kui sighed helplessly.

However, the strengthening of his internal organs was very real.

He tried to channel his Origin Power again, exerting force with both arms, and punched the cave wall fiercely.

The cave wall trembled violently, and gravel rained down.

This time, as the power was unleashed, the jarring discomfort in his chest was gone. His internal organs were firmly protected within tough flesh and blood, like a sealed unit.

[Crimson Modifier]

Host: Yan Kui

Status: Peak (Internal Organ Reinforcement, Flaw Compensation)

Body Stats: Strength: 6.0 Agility: 2.0 Constitution: 7.0

Cultivation Techniques & Skills: Raging Bull Fist: Grandmaster (Limit Broken) Iron Cloth Shirt: Grandmaster (Limit Broken, Mysterious Iron Body) Body Nourishing Technique: Grandmaster Evergreen Technique: Recorded (Cannot Cultivate, Can Analyze) Savage Boar Ramming Technique: Grandmaster (Reinforced Internal Organ Resilience, Body Beastification)

Origin Power: 46.8

Prompt: Host's physical flaws have been partially compensated. It is recommended to fuse with higher-level cultivation techniques to completely optimize physical characteristics.

With Strength reaching 6.0 and Constitution reaching 7.0!

These stats were enough to make him a "Land Immortal" among ordinary martial artists.

"As expected, it wasn't practiced in vain."

Yan Kui looked at the panel with satisfaction.

It's just this fur...

He picked up the Bone Shattering Hammer, walked to the cave entrance, and slammed into a large tree as thick as a man's embrace.

"RUMBLE!"

The tree snapped and crashed down.

Yan Kui felt the power flow within him and realized that this "impact" feeling was different from the explosive straight punches of the Raging Bull Fist. It focused more on overall impact force and penetration.

This was the essence of the Savage Boar Ramming Technique—using the body as a weapon for savage charges.

Although the technique's name was crude, it had genuinely compensated for his internal organ weakness, freeing him from the embarrassing state of being "strong on the outside, weak on the inside."

It was just that his wild boar-like appearance bothered him.

"Optimize..."

Yan Kui chewed on the system's prompt again.

He understood that to completely get rid of these beast-like features while retaining their advantages, he needed to perform system fusion.

"Tianwu City..."

Yan Kui looked north again.

It was the holy land of martial artists and the first stop for him to collect various hard-body techniques and complete the fusion.

He wanted to show those cultivators.

What true extreme physical prowess was.

What... "one force overcomes ten skills"!

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Yan Kui set off again.

He took off the rough cloth clothes stained with dirt and pig hair and changed into a set of black tight-fitting clothes he found in Zhao Wuji's storage bag. They fit reasonably well (though a bit snug).

Although the black hair on his body was still noticeable, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Cultivators are strange anyway, I'll just say it's from some body-refining technique I'm practicing that went awry!"

Yan Kui chuckled inwardly.

What he was more concerned about now was what "real goods" were hidden in the martial arts dojos of Tianwu City!
