Profound Nether Ice Soul Body!

"Look! Look! Isn't that the Dean of the Ice Element Academy, Dean Qin? What's he doing at the library?"

"Wait... there's a student next to Dean Qin. I heard they recruited a new student with ice element abilities this year. Could this be Dean Qin's new disciple?"

"It's only been a few days, isn't that a bit too soon?"

"..."

In the free-talk area on the first floor of the library, students noticed this scene and couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.

About ten minutes later, Another staff member rushed over to the library's reception desk, holding a similarly thick book.

"Dean Qin, here is the Body Tempering Technique you requested, Profound Nether Ice Soul Body!"

The staff member handed the book over to Qin Tianlong.

"Whoa, it's an S-rank Body Tempering Technique! I'm so envious he can just take it out to read!"

"Is this the treatment for a dean's disciple? Don't look at me, I'm not jealous, I just ate a bit too much lemon!"

"..."

Seeing this, the students' whispers started again.

They all cast envious glances at Lu Yuan, who was beside Qin Tianlong.

To become Dean Qin's disciple right after enrolling, his future was simply limitless!

Qin Tianlong and Lu Yuan ignored the whispers of the other students. After receiving the Body Tempering Technique Profound Nether Ice Soul Body, the two turned and left the library!

Qin Tianlong said, "Let's go to my place first. I'll teach you some of the essentials of the Profound Nether Ice Soul Body!"

Lu Yuan nodded, and then they both climbed onto Little Yu's back.

"Hold on tight, you two! I'm taking off!"

The two of them and the beast then flew back from the library to Qin Tianlong's residence.

Qin Tianlong's Residence.

Training Room.

Qin Tianlong explained slowly, "Body Tempering Techniques are divided into four types: tempering bones, tempering organs, tempering meridians, and tempering flesh and blood. These correspond to the first to fourth stages, respectively. For B-rank Body Tempering Techniques and below, there are only four stages of tempering."

"A-rank and S-rank Body Tempering Techniques allow for a secondary tempering, which means tempering bones, organs, meridians, and flesh and blood again in sequence, corresponding to the fifth to eighth stages."

"These tempering areas are all fundamental. Therefore, there is a certain connection between different Body Tempering Techniques. Transferring to another Body Tempering Technique of the same element does not require much cost!"

"However, if in the future you manage to access SS-rank or higher Body Tempering Techniques, you will need to build upon the same-element S-rank Body Tempering Technique that you have already fully comprehended, to master the ninth stage and above!"

"It should be noted that SS-rank and higher Body Tempering Techniques cannot be transferred. To transfer, you would have to start over from the basis of your previous S-rank Body Tempering Technique."

Qin Tianlong explained the Body Tempering Techniques.

Qin Tianlong's explanation was very detailed, and Lu Yuan naturally committed it all to memory.

Seeing that Lu Yuan's eyes did not show much confusion, Qin Tianlong nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Alright, now I will guide you into it. Open Profound Nether Ice Soul Body, and I will teach you how to temper your bones."

Lu Yuan did as he was told.

"The human body has a total of 206 bones, including 29 cranial bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 limb bones."

"Of these 126 limb bones, 64 are upper limb bones and 62 are lower limb bones."

"Temper all 206 bones of the human body according to the method in Profound Nether Ice Soul Body, using your own ice element supernatural ability as a guide, and you will officially reach the first stage of the Profound Nether Ice Soul Body."

Qin Tianlong added.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's pupils widened, and his gaze sharpened.

To think that he had to temper all 206 bones in the human body just to reach the first stage of the Profound Nether Ice Soul Body!

How long would that take? It seemed like a long and arduous journey!

However, after asking the System a question he hadn't asked in a long time and receiving an answer, Lu Yuan's state of mind stabilized once more.

That was—Body Tempering Techniques could also be broken through using evolution points!

If that was the case... the problem wasn't too big.

"Let's start tempering your bones now. The first time will definitely hurt a bit, you'll have to endure it."

Qin Tianlong announced.

"Disciple understands."

Lu Yuan indicated that he understood and was mentally prepared.

The teaching process officially began!

Just as Qin Tianlong had said, when first starting Body Tempering Techniques, tempering the bones was indeed unbearably painful.

He deliberately guided the elemental energy within his body, continuously impacting his bones. Those who know, know the feeling!

It made Lu Yuan feel like a thorn in his side, like sitting on needles!

But if he gritted his teeth and persisted, it would get better once he got used to it!

After getting used to it, this pain was clearly nothing to Lu Yuan. He even inexplicably enjoyed the sensation!

Unfortunately, Qin Tianlong had said that tempering bones couldn't be rushed, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to even get out of bed the next day!

Not only that, but if he rushed things, he might also leave behind some hidden ailments that would hinder his future cultivation.

After Qin Tianlong's morning of teaching, Lu Yuan already understood how to guide the elemental energy within his body to temper his bones.

Therefore, at noon, Lu Yuan bid farewell to Qin Tianlong.

After lunch to replenish his energy, Lu Yuan hurried to the ice element supernatural ability hall to practice his Spear technique, temper his bones, and absorb elemental energy by taking potions to cultivate.
