Skin Refining Limit

As the heat current within his body continuously washed over his surface skin, impurities of a dark hue were expelled, giving his skin an even more lustrous and translucent sheen.

After an unknown period of such repetition, the stinging and ant-bite sensations vanished.

"Satisfying!" Luo Yi stood in the courtyard, feeling better than ever, and couldn't help but shout out loud.

Wasting no time, Luo Yi prepared to verify his guess and eagerly picked up the "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique" manual from the stone table, beginning to read it.

As he flipped through it repeatedly, the "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique" was fully recorded on the system panel: Iron Head Skin Refining Technique (Beginner 1/25).

Looking at the panel, which showed that only 25 points were needed to reach the beginner level for the Iron Head Skill, it seemed that mastering a cultivation technique of the same realm would halve the progress and increase the cultivation speed for other techniques of the same realm.

Having verified his guess, Luo Yi wasted no more time and struck a pose for the "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique."

He bent over, spread his legs, and patted the air up and down with his hands, extending his head forward while his shoulders swayed in the same direction.

Soon, he completed a full set of "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique" moves, and a prompt indicating an increase of six progress points popped up on the panel.

"As expected," it had indeed gotten faster. Luo Yi's face broke into a joyful smile, immensely satisfied with the speed at which his progress increased!

He walked into the kitchen, brewed some Tonic, took out the Bear Gall wrapped in paper from his pocket, and swallowed the largest piece.

He continued to practice in the courtyard, and as time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

With continuous clapping, head-butting, and shoulder movements, Luo Yi felt a dull ache all over his body, especially his neck, which felt as if he had a stiff neck and could barely move. Knowing his neck had reached its limit for the day, he realized further practice might lead to injury.

He slowly retracted his stance and mentally opened the proficiency panel: Iron Head Skin Refining Technique (Great Accomplishment 67/200).

Excellent, only 133 more progress points to reach perfection. It seemed he could complete it as early as tomorrow.

It was late at night. To avoid affecting his cultivation the next day, Luo Yi went to the well, washed up briefly, and returned to his room to rest.

In a courtyard within a hidden alley in the South City of Yunlu County, the lights were bright. A group of people sat around a table in the courtyard, drinking and feasting merrily.

The leader of the group asked the others at the table, "How is the investigation you were tasked with today? Have you found out the specific identity of that person?"

Upon hearing the question, the people at the table looked at each other. Finally, one person stood up and said, "Little Wolf Head, the matter has been investigated. The man's name is Luo Yi, and the beautiful young lady is Luo Xi."

"They are hunters from Dongsheng Town, near Yunlu County. They came to Yunlu County a few days ago and bought the courtyard at 'Luo Real Estate Agency' in the South City. They just moved in a few days ago."

After hearing his subordinate's report, Little Wolf Head learned their identities and background. Thinking about how he was intimidated by Luo Yi today, he couldn't help but curse, "Two bumpkins who just entered the city dare to cause trouble for our Green Wolf Gang? They must be tired of living!"

"You, go and inform all my brothers. Tomorrow night, we'll go and kill this kid."

"Boss is mighty, boss is invincible." Hearing the ruthless words from their boss, the group of hooligans could only flatter him incessantly.

The next morning, Luo Yi woke up early. After a simple wash, he began practicing the "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique."

Except for the time taken for meals, he practiced martial arts continuously.

He had initially thought it would take him the entire day or even longer to upgrade the "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique."

However, not long after lunch, a prompt suddenly appeared on the panel before Luo Yi: Iron Head Skin Refining Technique (Perfection).

"So fast!" Even Luo Yi himself was somewhat surprised by the speed of the skill upgrade.

The familiar sensation returned, and he began to feel the effects of the skill upgrade.

"Hot," "Hot," "Hot." This time, besides feeling hot all over, the stinging and ant-bite sensations were barely noticeable.

After "Iron Head Skin Refining Technique" reached perfection, the originally lustrous and glowing skin gradually lost its sheen, becoming like that of an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts.

"Returning to simplicity." Looking at his current skin, Luo Yi thought of this idiom.

Worried that his skin had returned to normal and lost its defensive capabilities, Luo Yi picked up the Dao from the table and swiped it across his arm.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle." The arm and the Dao rubbed against each other, constantly producing sparks.

After one swipe, the Dao became full of nicks, and not even a white mark appeared on his arm.

Confirming that his defense was still intact, Luo Yi squatted down and easily lifted the stone table, which weighed a thousand pounds, with one hand.

???What kind of strength and defense is this!

For ordinary Martial Artists, after reaching Great Accomplishment in Skin Refining, they would usually attempt to train their muscles. Such Martial Artists would not see a significant increase in strength even after entering the Body Refining Realm.

Luo Yi felt the surging power within him and had the urge to fight a Martial Artist in the Body Refining Realm.

He walked to the well, scooped up a bucket of water, and poured it over himself. Luo Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and opened the system panel:

Host: Luo Yi Age: 16 Realm: Skin Refining Limit Skills: Basic Archery (Great Accomplishment 270/400), Fierce Tiger Skin Refining Technique (Perfection), Introduction to Poisons (Perfection), Mantis Skin Refining Technique (Perfection), Iron Head Skin Refining Technique (Perfection) Traits: Immune to Poisons, Fierce Tiger Back, Mantis Legs (After long-term martial arts practice, the joints of both legs have become flexible and agile, slightly altering the foundation and improving martial arts aptitude) Iron Brain (Greatly enhances brain defense capabilities, slightly alters the foundation, and improves martial arts aptitude) Energy Points: 16

Bone Structure: Superior

"Skin Refining" limit! Mantis Leg! Iron Brain! Superior aptitude.

Luo Yi felt that the gains from practicing martial arts over the past three days were more than what he had accumulated since he transmigrated here.

Looking at the "Skin Refining" limit displayed on his status panel, although he guessed it couldn't be improved further, Luo Yi couldn't help but want to try.

He jogged all the way to the "Martial Arts Repository," took out the remaining twenty-odd taels of silver he had, and bought a secret manual called "Lion Skin Refining Technique."

After thanking Hongyu, Luo Yi hurried home.

Practicing repeatedly, he successfully achieved beginner level in "Lion Skin Refining Technique." Luo Yi found that upon reaching beginner level, his body didn't react at all, and his skin surface remained as usual.

It seemed that each realm could only be trained to its limit. Since "Lion Skin Refining Technique" no longer had any effect on the Skin Refining Realm, Luo Yi stopped practicing it. He walked back to his room and took out the "Berserk Bear Flesh Refining Technique" secret manual hidden under his pillow.

Looking at the contents recorded in the book, Luo Yi couldn't help but yearn, "If I steadily train each step to the limit of its realm, then both my strength and foundation will far surpass others at the same level."
