Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm! Good or Bad Talent!

``` [You diligently practiced the Pure Yang Art. After half a year, you finally achieved perfection in the Pure Yang Stance, successfully comprehending and mastering Qi and Blood Power! You broke through to the Early Skin Tempering Realm! Your lifespan increased by ten years!]

[You continued to diligently practice for ten years. The Pure Yang Art entered the minor accomplishment stage! Your realm advanced to the Mid Skin Tempering Realm!]

[Another twelve years passed. During these ten years, you ceaselessly cultivated the Pure Yang Art, controlled your Qi and Blood, and continuously tempered your body! The Pure Yang Art entered the great accomplishment stage! Your realm advanced to the Late Skin Tempering Realm!]

[You cultivated the Pure Yang Art for another half a year. The Qi and Blood within your body became more concentrated!]

In an instant, Su Xian felt the Qi and Blood Power within his body surging madly, beginning to temper his physical body!

His entire being felt lighter, his skin becoming tougher, like thick oxhide! It could withstand blade strikes!

Twenty-plus years of Qi and Blood tempering his physical body had caused Su Xian's physical strength to surge!

Sensing the earth-shattering changes occurring within him, Su Xian's heart rejoiced. He clenched his fist slightly, the surging power feeling as if he could easily kill a bull.

He looked at a Stone Lock weighing several hundred jin not far to his right.

Su Xian walked over, gripped it, and with a slight exertion of force, easily lifted the Stone Lock.

"Is this what a martial artist is like? Swinging a Stone Lock weighing hundreds of jin as if it were goose feathers!"

Su Xian merely adapted to his own strength for a moment before putting the Stone Lock down.

Looking at the Demon Strategy, his original lifespan of one year had increased by another ten.

Su Xian couldn't help but reveal a smile. He hadn't expected that simply breaking through to the Skin Tempering Realm would increase his lifespan by ten years!

He wondered how many years of lifespan the subsequent realms would add!

Su Xian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation!

"Twenty-three years of lifespan to cultivate the Pure Yang Art to great accomplishment? Could it be that my martial talent is quite good?"

Su Xian couldn't help but wonder. He didn't know if this speed was fast or slow.

With a thought, he invested another ten years of lifespan into the Pure Yang Art.

This time, the result left Su Xian somewhat disappointed. For a full ten years, he remained stuck at the great accomplishment of the Pure Yang Art!

His cultivation also remained at the Great Accomplishment in Skin Tempering Realm!

"Could it be that my innate talent can only reach this point?"

Su Xian felt a bit dejected. He had achieved great accomplishment in the Pure Yang Art in the first twenty-three years, and after another ten years, he still hadn't achieved perfection!

It seemed his talent was limited to this!

"Fortunately, I still have 100 years of demon lifespan!" Su Xian consoled himself.

[You continued to cultivate the Pure Yang Art. After ten consecutive years of practice, your Qi and Blood became increasingly potent, but you still couldn't touch that barrier!]

[You were not discouraged in the slightest and continued to focus on practicing the Pure Yang Art, as you had for decades!]

[Finally, another ten years passed! You felt that barrier! You unleashed all your Qi and Blood Power, striking at that barrier! You failed! The barrier seemed completely unmoved!]

[However, you were not discouraged. After resting for a month, you continued to diligently practice the Pure Yang Art, accumulating Qi and Blood!]

[Another ten years passed! You once again launched an assault on that barrier!]

[You succeeded! Over forty years of diligent practice of the Pure Yang Art, day after day! You accumulated profound Qi and Blood! Finally! You broke through that barrier! Upon breaking through! Your realm advanced to Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm!]

Su Xian quickly stopped, shaking his head involuntarily.

He hadn't expected cultivating the Pure Yang Art to perfection to be so difficult. After achieving great accomplishment, it had consumed another full 40 years of lifespan!

It seemed his own cultivation talent was truly poor!

Looking at the remaining 60 years of lifespan in the Demon Strategy, Su Xian pondered for a moment before deciding to cultivate the Blazing Sun Fist!

[You began to cultivate the Blazing Sun Fist! Due to your cultivation reaching the peak of the Skin Tempering Realm, within a year, you cultivated the Blazing Sun Fist to the minor accomplishment stage!]

[Three years later, you had cultivated the Blazing Sun Fist to the great accomplishment stage! When you threw a punch! The air seemed to be scorched!]

[Another three years passed, and you cultivated the Blazing Sun Fist to the perfection stage! But you were still not satisfied and continued to practice!]

[Finally! Three years later! Your Blazing Sun Fist was renewed by you! You integrated some of the profound principles of the Tiger Subduing Demon Saber Technique! Your Blazing Sun Fist evolved into a Second-grade Martial Skill: Blazing Sun Tiger Subduing Fist!]

The next moment, Su Xian's eyes snapped open. Qi and Blood surged throughout his body, and a phantom blood-colored tiger seemed to appear behind him!

"In ten years, I cultivated the Blazing Sun Fist to perfection and transformed it into a Second-grade Martial Skill?"

"Could it be that my talent for practicing martial skills is very good!"

Su Xian's eyes lit up!

Although his talent for physical cultivation was poor, it seemed he was quite fast at practicing martial skills!

"There are still 50 years of lifespan remaining!"

Su Xian looked at the remaining lifespan on the Demon Strategy, feeling somewhat happy.

He had originally thought cultivating the Blazing Sun Fist would also consume a lot of lifespan, but he hadn't expected it to only take 10 years

to cultivate the Blazing Sun Fist to perfection and transform it into a Second-grade Martial Skill!

"Next, I need to find a Second-grade Cultivation Method!"

Su Xian secretly thought to himself, now that he had cultivated to Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm, he would naturally have to pursue a Second-grade Cultivation Method and strive to break through to the Muscle Forging Realm as a Second-grade martial artist!

"Demon lifespan can't be neglected either! It took me over 60 years to break through from Outer Technique Perfection to Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm!"

"These remaining 50 years of lifespan are definitely not enough to go far in the Muscle Forging Realm!"

"I must find a way to obtain more demon lifespan!"

After Su Xian finalized his future action plan, he glanced at the room where the Master was.

He felt that he would still need to obtain future cultivation methods from the Master.

Su Xian familiarized himself with his own strength in the corner of the courtyard. Now that his realm had reached Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm, his entire body was almost impervious to blades and swords!

Su Xian walked to the weapon rack in the courtyard, casually drew a saber, and slashed it across his arm. Only a faint white mark was left.

As Su Xian circulated his qi and blood, this white mark quickly disappeared.

"True martial artists are indeed worthy of their reputation! Mortal blades and swords probably have no effect on me now!"

Looking at the disappearing white mark on his arm, Su Xian couldn't help but sigh.

This was the true martial artist! Once one broke through, there was a qualitative difference between them and mortals!

Just then, Cui Hao walked over. Seeing Su Xian idle in the corner, he thought he was having some difficulty and asked:

"Junior Brother Su Xian, are you encountering any difficulties?"

Su Xian shook his head upon hearing this and then asked:

"Senior Brother Cui Hao, what is your current realm? How many years have you been cultivating? What is the realm of Blazing Sun Fist? And what level is your talent?"

Su Xian wanted to get a reference to see if his own aptitude was good enough!

"This!" Cui Hao was stunned upon hearing this, then scratched his head and said:

"I am currently at Perfection in Skin Tempering Realm! I have been cultivating Pure Yang Art for twenty years!"

"As for Blazing Sun Fist! I have also practiced it diligently for twenty years! It is currently at Blazing Sun Fist Great Accomplishment!"

"As for talent..."

Cui Hao shook his head, "My talent is only considered below average. The reason I am the eldest disciple is simply because I started earlier."

Cui Hao looked at Su Xian.

"Junior Brother, why are you asking these questions?"

"It's nothing, I just want to know what level my talent is."

Su Xian gently shook his head and said calmly.

Judging from the situation Cui Hao described, Su Xian's cultivation talent was indeed very poor, definitely of the lower-grade quality.

However, he seemed to have extraordinary talent in cultivating martial skills!

Cui Hao, who had practiced Blazing Sun Fist diligently for 20 years, had only reached Great Accomplishment, while Su Xian had cultivated it to Perfection in ten years and transformed it into a Second-grade Martial Skill!

This was enough to prove Su Xian's talent in cultivating martial skills!
