Body Tempering Realm

"System notification: Does player Qin Shaofeng wish to learn the Saint-grade Yi Jin Jing and the God-grade skill Fiery Golden Eyes?"

Just as Qin Shaofeng was overwhelmed with excitement, the system's mechanical voice rang out again.

"Learn! Of course I'll learn! Definitely learn! Do you even need to ask?" Qin Shaofeng shouted excitedly.

Wum!

The moment Qin Shaofeng spoke, he felt a slight tremor in the attribute interface before him. Then, two new skills appeared in his skill column.

After that, Qin Shaofeng sensed a change taking place in his body.

It started with his eyes. Although his room had a few bright lights, outside it was still pitch-black night. On top of that, his injuries hadn't healed, his body was still aching, and his mind was a bit groggy. This had made the room look somewhat dim to him.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a cool sensation in his head, and his mind sharpened.

Even more incredible, his vision brightened as well.

Wherever his gaze fell, Qin Shaofeng no longer saw a dim scene. Everything was bright and clear, no different from daytime.

And he quickly noticed that under his current vision, everything was incredibly sharp. Even a small bug on the door several meters away was perfectly visible.

Not just its shape, but even its tiny, slender legs were crystal clear to him.

Needless to say, Qin Shaofeng knew this was the result of acquiring the Fiery Golden Eyes.

"As expected of a God-grade skill. The ability the Fiery Golden Eyes brings is astonishing!"

Qin Shaofeng was startled, joy spreading across his face. Then his mind stirred again.

"If the Fiery Golden Eyes brings me such benefits, what about the Yi Jin Jing?"

No sooner had he said this than he immediately felt a change in his body.

A surge of heat suddenly rose from his abdomen. Qin Shaofeng was greatly surprised.

"This... is this Inner Qi?"

Qin Shaofeng was dumbfounded.

His Dantian had clearly been crippled. It should have been absolutely impossible for Inner Qi to appear. But the feeling in his abdomen now...

"No mistake! This is the feeling of Inner Qi!"

Recalling that sensation from his memories, Qin Shaofeng was certain that the heat in his abdomen—his Dantian—was the Inner Qi that could only be awakened at Body Tempering Triple Layer.

The Body Tempering Realm is the first stage of cultivation, divided into ten layers. Breaking through Body Tempering Tenth Layer leads to the next stage, the Houtian Realm, then the Xiantian Realm, the Spirit Vein Realm...

Qin Shaofeng's memories only went as far as the Spirit Vein Realm, because the highest cultivator in Lanjiang City was merely at the Xiantian Realm, with not even a Spirit Vein Realm expert present.

Having the memories was one thing, but actually feeling the existence of Inner Qi now made Qin Shaofeng somewhat emotional.

"Damn, now that I'm back on Earth, I'm probably a martial arts master, able to walk on walls and leap across rooftops, right?"

He swung himself out of bed and started throwing wild punches into the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following the feeling from his memories, Qin Shaofeng channeled that heat into his hands. As he swung, the punches whistled with a faint wind.

"That's satisfying!"

After swinging for a while, Qin Shaofeng looked at his fists and laughed.

Only then did he realize that the pain all over his body and the injuries that hadn't fully healed before were now completely gone.

Each punch carried dozens of jin of force, which thrilled Qin Shaofeng immensely.

So this is cultivation?

Qin Shaofeng let out a sigh, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Since heaven has brought me to this world, then I, Qin Shaofeng, will live it to the fullest! I want to see just where the end of cultivation in this world lies!"

Although his Dantian still hadn't fully recovered like in his memories, Qin Shaofeng was certain that with the Yi Jin Jing, its restoration was only a matter of time.

Skills: Fiery Golden Eyes, Yi Jin Jing.

Fiery Golden Eyes: Level 1 0/0, God-grade active skill. It is the famous ultimate technique of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong. Currently Level 1, it allows the user to see through the cultivation of anyone at the same realm, with a certain chance of revealing their weaknesses. It can also be used to examine any other object or being, with the level of detail depending on the player's level. Each use consumes 10 Inner Qi Points.

Yi Jin Jing: Level 1 0/0, Saint-grade passive skill. Although not a God-grade technique, this skill is special. It includes the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, another creation of the Old Ancestor Bodhidharma, granting it the powerful ability to refine the tendons and cleanse the marrow. Currently Level 1, it increases the player's Inner Qi Points to three times the original. (Level 1 Yi Jin Jing recovers 1 Inner Qi Point per minute.)
