Lin Feng's body stiffened.

He placed the meteor hammer and spiked club in his hands on the ground.

With a confused expression, he looked back, only to see the one-armed elder.

"Senior, is there something you need?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.

The one-armed elder approached and said in a deep voice, "Your Iron Shirt hasn't even reached minor success, yet you're acting rashly and using the meteor hammer and spiked club for training."

"Do you know what the consequences will be?!"

Lin Feng was taken aback by his words.

Minor success? I've already mastered it!

Before Lin Feng could speak, the one-armed elder continued, "Both the spiked club and meteor hammer are made of profound iron by the Demon Suppression Division!"

"If the user's strength is adequate, they can even directly pierce the bodies of First-Order and Second-Order Demons!"

"You're using them to hammer yourself at Body Tempering Fourth Level, you're simply playing with your life! Your physical body can't withstand it!"

The one-armed elder shook his head, his expression filled with regret.

He had initially thought highly of Lin Feng, this newcomer, believing him to be a promising talent.

In the future, he might even become a Captain.

But today, practicing the Iron Shirt, he was so impatient.

A martial artist who didn't understand gradual progress would eventually be killed by their own impetuosity!

The one-armed elder already regretted saying so much. In his opinion, while talent was important, character was even more so.

Lin Feng's character, in his eyes, was already lacking. Too impatient, prone to accidents!

This was just practicing martial arts. If he were this impatient when hunting demonic beasts in the future, what kind of disaster would occur?

The one-armed elder pondered for a moment and was about to reprimand him when he saw Lin Feng say in a deep voice, "Senior, I have already mastered the Iron Shirt. The spiked club and meteor hammer, no matter what, cannot harm me."

The one-armed elder said, "Your archery talent is high; you should be delving deep into archery. Yet you chose body techniques, it's simply... What, what did you say? Iron Shirt mastered?!"

Initially, the one-armed elder had a stern expression, as if wanting to guide Lin Feng back to the right path.

But upon hearing Lin Feng's words, he stopped short!

For a moment, disbelief appeared on the one-armed elder's face.

What a joke, mastering the Iron Shirt, how is that possible!

In just two hours, it was impossible to even achieve minor success in the Iron Shirt, let alone mastery?

"You scoundrel, I haven't not practiced the Iron Shirt myself, how could I not know how difficult it is."

The one-armed elder's face turned slightly red, feeling like he had been tricked.

Just then, Lin Feng took out a large saber from the weapon rack.

With a swish, he forcefully struck his own right arm.

Clang!!

A loud sound echoed throughout the entire training ground.

The sound was piercing and lingered, as if he wasn't cutting an arm, but striking a piece of profound iron.

The sound continued for a while before finally dissipating.

The one-armed elder's expression tensed.

He swung that saber and nothing happened?!

Upon closer inspection, he saw that Lin Feng's skin hadn't even broken.

The saber on the weapon rack was also specially made, so sharp it could cut hair with a breath.

But now, Lin Feng's strike on his arm hadn't even broken the skin.

Such defensive power was not something an ordinary Body Tempering martial artist could possess.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. I have mastered the Iron Shirt, and in the Iron Bone Realm, I am not afraid of the meteor hammer's attack," Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

The one-armed elder did not reply immediately.

At this moment, his mind was still in disbelief.

He was now powerful, a top expert in the entire Wancheng Demon Suppression Division, surpassing even the Captains.

Therefore, a mere first-grade martial art like the Iron Shirt, even if mastered, was nothing significant.

However, Lin Feng was only at Body Tempering Fourth Level!

A realm so weak that the one-armed elder could destroy it with one arm.

And yet, in two hours, he had trained the Iron Shirt to minor success? No, not minor success, but mastery, according to him!

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

The one-armed elder took a deep breath, and scenes of himself cultivating the Iron Shirt in his youth flashed through his mind.

How arduous it was. He had persisted through spitting blood multiple times.

It had taken him two months to reach minor success.

Even so, he was considered a genius in the Demon Suppression Division, with figures at the Captain level taking notice of him back then.

"You say you've cultivated the Iron Shirt to great success?"

The one-armed elder suddenly said, "Come here, let me see."

Lin Feng walked over.

The cut he'd made on his arm earlier hadn't even broken the skin.

Even if the one-armed elder didn't want to believe it, he knew this wasn't the defense a Body Tempering Fourth Level martial artist could possess.

However.

The Iron Bone Realm was another level entirely!

In his youth, the one-armed elder had spent a full six months to cultivate it successfully.

The one-armed elder reached out, grabbed Lin Feng's arm, and said in a deep voice, "Use your Iron Shirt, and I'll test it with my True Qi!"

Lin Feng nodded and immediately activated his Iron Shirt.

Instantly, he gained the formidable defensive capabilities of bronze skin and iron bones.

The one-armed elder remained silent as a wisp of True Qi flowed from his arm.

The True Qi transformed into a sharp sword, piercing through Lin Feng's skin and striking directly at his bone marrow.

Soon, with a clang.

The one-armed elder's True Qi dissipated, having failed to penetrate Lin Feng's arm bone.

With his strength, he could have killed Lin Feng with a single finger, even without using True Qi.

However, his primary goal was to test if Lin Feng had reached the Iron Bone Realm.

An incredulous expression then appeared on the one-armed elder's face!

It was truly great success in the Iron Shirt, the Iron Bone Realm?!

Almost instantly, a thought surged in the one-armed elder's mind.

This young man was not only a genius in Archery.

But also a genius in body cultivation!!

Two hours to cultivate the Iron Shirt to great success.

Even with the one-armed elder's immense strength, in all his years in Wancheng City, he had never witnessed such a feat!

Even in the county city, which was teeming with geniuses, he doubted he could find many like this...

The one-armed elder looked at Lin Feng with a complex expression.

"You actually managed to cultivate it."

"Two hours for the Iron Shirt to reach great success..."

While his heart was filled with shock, there was also a hint of bitterness.

After all, he too had been young once and had cultivated the Iron Shirt. Back then, it had taken him a total of eight months to reach great success.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, had done it in two months. The gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

At this moment.

Lin Feng's heart suddenly stirred.

He paid no mind to the one-armed elder's complex emotions.

Instead, he noticed the changes in his status panel.

Just now, when the one-armed elder's True Qi had pierced through his skin and struck his arm bone, His proficiency had actually increased by a full 20 points?!

Keep in mind, the Iron Shirt was already at Lv3. Reaching Lv4 required 10,000 proficiency points.

A single strike with the meteor hammer only provided 5 proficiency points. Even using the mace with both hands would take a considerable amount of time to level up.

Furthermore, Lin Feng wasn't a machine; he would get tired.

Now, a wisp of True Qi from the one-armed elder could increase his Iron Shirt proficiency by 20 points.

And this was without the elder even exerting himself.

In an instant, Lin Feng began to entertain some thoughts.

If he let the one-armed elder strike him with True Qi, wouldn't he be able to level up very quickly?
