A Bone Plate in Her Chest, Indestructible

"Master, what are you talking about? What ski-jump takeoff, what anti-A...?"

Tang Ruowei followed Bai Qiuran's gaze to her chest, and then, as if struck by a sudden realization, instantly understood what he was talking about.

"Abnormal!"

She screamed and raised her hand to slap Bai Qiuran's face.

The girl thought to herself that since she couldn't really hurt the old man anyway, she should at least embarrass him a little.

A layer of black Primordial Magnetism Power was gathered in her palm, which was incredibly powerful for a young girl, but Bai Qiuran easily raised her hand and grabbed her arm.

This time, however, Tang Ruowei's hand did not stop. After her arm was grabbed, her hand suddenly became soft and boneless, like a whip, and still slapped Bai Qiuran's face with a crack.

After a crisp, muffled thud, Tang Ruowei, tears welling in her eyes, crouched down, clutching her hand.

Bai Qiuran wiped Palm Seal delicate black handprint left on her face by the Primordial Magnetism Black Sand and asked with considerable surprise, "Eh, you little girl have broken through to the forty-sixth level?"

Just like Tang Ruowei did, the initial transformation of the physical body, making the arms, legs and other limbs as flexible as a whip, is a sign of the forty-sixth level of the Fortune Body Forging Technique.

I guess so.

Tang Ruowei rubbed her hands, wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from the pain, and sat back down in her seat.

What do you mean by "I guess so"?

Bai Qiuran frowned and asked, "If you've broken through, you've broken through; if you haven't, you haven't. Is there even such a thing as a 'breakthrough'?"

"Hehe."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ruowei sneered, "I wonder if that person has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage to the second-tenths yet..."

"Shut up! You unfilial disciple!"

Bai Qiuran her hand on the table, her eyes widening.

"What do you know? That's the Virtual Foundation Stage!"

Tang Ruowei flicked her hair, turned her head away, and sneered without saying a word.

After their usual banter, Bai Qiuran said, "So, do you want me to take a look at what's wrong?"

Tang Ruowei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "If Master has the time, then of course I'm willing."

Bai Qiuran stood up, made Tang Ruowei stand aside, and began to examine Tang Ruowei's body.

Because it was an examination of her physical condition, there was some tapping, rubbing, and kneading involved, which inevitably involved some contact that might seem too intimate to outsiders. However, neither Bai Qiuran nor Tang Ruowei felt anything was wrong with it, as it was a serious and earnest test of Cultivation Technique between master and disciple.

After a careful inspection, Bai Qiuran discovered the problem.

"Huh? Ruowei, how did you develop that chest?"

Bai Qiuran reached out and patted Tang Ruowei's chest twice, making a muffled "thump thump" sound, like beating a drum.

"Defense and recovery have increased, but why is it still so tough and solid?"

Tang Ruowei's response was a thunderous punch, aimed directly at Bai Qiuran's eyes.

"Stop fooling around."

Bai Qiuran grabbed Tang Ruowei's fist and said, "I'm talking to you about something serious. Judging from your overall physical condition, you have indeed broken through to the forty-sixth level, but why is there no change in the flexibility of your chest area... Can you control the body parts around your chest?"

Tang Ruowei looked dejected.

"Cannot."

Given her personality, Bai Qiuran was certain that she had tried to redirect the body fat to her breasts immediately after her breakthrough. If she said she couldn't control it, then she definitely couldn't control it no matter what.

Bai Qiuran a moment.

"This might not be a genetic issue. Your ancestors probably intermarried with some ancient deity or demon. This deity likely had bony plates in its chest for defense, and this characteristic was incorporated into your Tang Family's bloodline. After Shangxuan level, you experienced a reversion to your ancestral traits..."

"Where did you get your basis for this?"

Tang Ruowei retorted, "Is this just a guess to scare me?"

"Where do you get your basis for this claim?"

Bai Qiuran glanced at Tang Ruowei's now padded breasts with a sorrowful look, and shook his head, saying, "Silly disciple, the bones in your sternum have already started to grow plates."

"What?!"

Tang Ruowei was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"If this continues, a hard, self-repairing, indestructible bone plate will form on your Breastbone."

Bai Qiuran continued, "Your strength will definitely increase greatly. This bone plate can protect your heart, dantian Qi Sea, and all other vital organs, but your dream..."

He shook his head.

"I'm afraid that will only remain a dream from now on."

No!

Tang Ruowei was on the verge of tears. She grabbed Bai Qiuran's sleeve and cried out helplessly, "Master, please save me!"

"Don't be impatient, my disciple."

Bai Qiuran smiled and patted Tang Ruowei's head, saying, "Since I've brought it up, there must be a solution."

He picked up two teacups from the table, poured tea into one on each side, and then said, "There are two options; you can choose. First, I have some connections in the Underworld Ghost Realm. Your current body is almost half-ruined for you. Why not die, enter Reincarnation, delete your character, and start over?"

"This is good."

Tang Ruowei nodded.

Life is precious, love is even more so, but for the sake of breasts, both can be sacrificed. At worst, one can die and be reborn, and twenty years later, one will be a good girl again...

"Don't rush to agree. If this method is so easy, there must be risks involved."

Bai Qiuran and said, "The Life and Death Reincarnation is an ironclad law, and even I, your master, cannot interfere with the outcome of your next Reincarnation. Therefore, it is very likely that you Reincarnation as something other than a woman, while retaining your memories, such as suddenly having a strange thing between your legs... In that case, you will never be able to develop breasts no matter how much you train."

Tang Ruowei Consciousness squeezed her legs together.

"More importantly, Reincarnation is about Karma and effect. You were Princess in this life, extremely wealthy and noble, and you have a karmic connection with my Azure Nether Sword Sect. In your next life, you might have to pay back your debts."

Bai Qiuran glanced at Tang Ruowei and shook her head. "It's good Human Path, but if you're unlucky enough to be Animal Path, then..."

Tang Ruowei opened her beautiful eyes wide, feeling a chill run down her spine.

"Actually, the Animal Path isn't that scary."

Bai Qiuran comforted him, "Animal lifespans are only a short ten years or so. Just endure it and it'll pass. Look, what if you're reincarnated as a sow? Wouldn't that mean your dream would be 800% fulfilled...?"

You're the sow!

The girl retorted angrily, "Your whole family are sows!"

"Foolish child, a teacher for a day is a father for life." (And-book)

Bai Qiuran shook her head and said, "You're part of my family too, you're insulting yourself."

Tang Ruowei's chest heaved with anger, but no matter how much she heaved, there was no wave.

What is the second option?

"The second option is more difficult."

Bai Qiuran stared straight at her.

"As the saying goes, destruction precedes construction. Let me help you break the bone plates growing in your chest, and then reshape them with the Fortune Body Forging Technique. Continue this process until your chest completely breaks through to the forty-sixth level."
