Breakthrough! Mid-stage Body Tempering Realm! Strength Surges!

In Anyuan County Town, many major sects and martial arts schools recruit disciples by first looking at their bone structure and aptitude, then their comprehension and talent, and so on. Guande Martial Arts School, however, is different. Although its requirements for recruiting disciples are very lenient, the prerequisite is that your comprehension must be good. If your comprehension is poor...

...then it will take countless time and effort to cultivate the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art to completion.

Although the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art is so powerful, the major sects and families in Anyuan County Town do not think highly of it. This is because the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art can only be cultivated to the peak of the late Body Tempering Realm at most, and it cannot even break through to the Meridian Opening Realm.

This is because the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art is an incomplete version. It is a cultivation technique that Yu Guande accidentally obtained in his early years. Once cultivated, it greatly helps the practitioner by tempering the physique and body. However, the only drawback is that it is not easy to cultivate.

Of course, even if you manage to cultivate it, you don't need to be too happy, because you can only cultivate to the peak of the late Body Tempering Realm at most. The Meridian Opening Realm is impossible.

This is why the major families and sects in Anyuan County Town do not think highly of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art.

"Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, this body tempering cultivation technique is quite interesting."

The newly recruited disciples listened to Senior Sister Lin Yutong's explanation and still felt it was too difficult. Some even had thoughts of giving up, lamenting their lack of talent for martial arts. However, in the crowd, Su Mo closed his eyes and silently felt the methods of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art taught by Senior Sister Lin Yutong.

When Lin Yutong began to teach the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, Su Mo's heart stirred, and he began to circulate the technique. This Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, known for being extremely difficult to cultivate, was easily mastered by him in an instant.

After getting started with the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, Su Mo knew that his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, was finally about to break through.

What puzzled him was that he didn't know why this Azure Origin Body Tempering Art cultivation technique didn't seem to place much importance on bone structure and aptitude. Otherwise, even if he could easily understand and get started with it, his cultivation speed wouldn't be this fast, given his bone structure issues.

"All junior brothers and sisters, the transmission of the technique ends here for today. If anyone still has questions, you can come and ask me tomorrow when I have time. You can stay in the martial arts school for free for the next month, so you must seize the time to practice martial arts and cultivate, and don't let yourselves regret it."

Lin Yutong was tall and slender, with fair and smooth skin and a beautiful face. Seeing that many junior brothers and sisters had not yet mastered the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, she told everyone that they could come to her for guidance tomorrow. As long as she had time, she would also come to the training grounds to explain the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art.

Su Mo felt that Senior Sister Lin Yutong was quite good.

The eyes of some newly recruited junior brothers looking at Lin Yutong were full of admiration and envy, thinking that Senior Sister Lin Yutong was too wonderful.

As for the first month of free accommodation at the martial arts school, Senior Brother Luo Lianbo had told Su Mo about it. However, after a month, if they still wanted to stay at the martial arts school, they would have to pay five taels of silver per month for training and accommodation.

Of course, for some poor disciples, after a month, if they hadn't achieved anything, they would likely have to leave the martial arts school, as the accommodation fee of five taels per month was not something ordinary people could afford.

As dusk fell, Yu Guande signaled all the disciples in the main hall to disperse and rest.

At the same time, the martial arts school had also prepared dinner for them.

After dinner, Su Mo went to the accommodation area of the martial arts school.

The backyard of Guande Martial Arts School was where the disciples lived and rested. There were many rooms, and the rooms were brightly lit. Obviously, the better rooms had already been occupied by the children of wealthy families from Qingshan Town.

Su Mo was not picky about this aspect. He was assigned to a room for four people by a senior brother at the martial arts school. The room contained four beds. Two of the beds had clothes and bedding on them, indicating that two people were already living there.

One of them, like Su Mo, was a newly recruited disciple of the martial arts school today, named Xie Baolin. It was said that he was a cowherd from a small village near Qingshan Town, and his family had scraped together almost everything they had to send him here.

The other person was a senior brother who had joined the martial arts school some time ago, named Yue Haofeng. He lived in Qingshan Town and was rumored to be from a wealthy family, considered one of the rich people in Qingshan Town, but not as wealthy as the truly affluent families.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to a four-person room.

The popular double rooms were all booked early by the children of wealthy families in Qingshan Town.

When Su Mo entered the room, the other two also returned one after another. After a brief greeting, Su Mo headed to the training grounds in the front yard of the martial arts school.

The training grounds in the front yard of Guande Martial Arts School were very large, capable of accommodating hundreds of martial arts disciples practicing at the same time. When Su Mo arrived at the training grounds, due to the darkness, there were no disciples practicing there.

Su Mo held his breath and began to circulate the methods of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, simultaneously adopting the starting stance of its moves. The Azure Origin Body Tempering Art had only a dozen or so accompanying moves, and practicing the moves was not difficult; in fact, many disciples could do it.

However, the truly difficult part of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art was the incantation of the cultivation method. To comprehend and understand it thoroughly, to make this stream of energy circulate within the body at will, and to achieve the effect of external tempering and internal refinement was the most difficult part, which was why it stopped many people.

Su Mo's figure flickered, and he easily executed the moves of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art. Even though he had only learned it on the first day, it was as if he had practiced it thousands of times and integrated it perfectly, executing it like an old hand who had been immersed in this path for over a decade.

At the same time, a large amount of white mist began to emit from his body, accompanied by the sound of blood flowing. His muscles and bones crackled and creaked continuously. This was the external practice of moves, combined with the internal refinement of the body through the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art's cultivation method. This was the true cultivation method of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art.

It was also why a body tempering cultivation technique was necessary for the Body Tempering Realm. Without internal refinement of the body, martial arts cultivation could hardly improve.

With the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, Su Mo's blood surged, and his hands erupted with astonishing great strength. Each strike against the air produced a sharp whistling sound. In the next moment, a powerful aura surged within him, and a vigorous force was born within his muscles, enveloping his entire body.

This was the aura of a realm breakthrough.

This surge of force was the unique "muscle-generated force" of the mid-Body Tempering Realm, with a solidified physique and flourishing blood and qi.

Su Mo broke through from the peak of the early Body Tempering Realm to the mid-Body Tempering Realm.

"My cultivation has finally broken through, reaching the mid-Body Tempering Realm!"

"After reaching the mid-Body Tempering Realm, my physical strength has increased again. Force has been generated within my muscles, and I can now unleash this force with my fists and kicks, increasing their destructive power. At the same time, my body's toughness has become even more robust, and my physical defense has become more astonishing and domineering. Ordinary attacks are difficult to injure me."

At this moment, Su Mo's eyes sparkled with light, his blood and qi were vigorous, and he exuded an aura of powerful physical strength. He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and punched out. Force exploded, and the air directly emitted a sharp and piercing screech, like a roaring dragon. This was achievable only when physical strength reached an extremely terrifying level.

This punch could easily kill a martial artist in the late Body Tempering Realm.

It could be said that such terrifying great strength was not something a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm could withstand or block.

Yet, this was a punch Su Mo threw casually.
