Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear

After practicing his spear technique for over two hours straight, Qin Yan slowly withdrew his stance and planted the long spear firmly at his side.

"Practicing spear techniques really is the most satisfying."

He let out a long breath of stale air, feeling as though every pore in his body had opened up.

His blood and qi surged endlessly within him, bringing a warm sense of fullness.

Walking to the rest area at the edge of the Cultivation Room, he picked up the water bottle on the table.

Just as he was about to rehydrate, he noticed several unread message alerts flashing on his Smart Bracelet.

When he opened them, the sender was none other than Instructor Xiao Huo.

The note was simple and clear: "Qin Yan, based on your situation, I have preliminarily selected several spear-based Body Tempering Martial Arts for you.

Take a close look at their descriptions and requirements. Consider your own circumstances and weigh which one suits you best.

Once you have decided, let me know. I will send you the complete Martial Skill."

"Body Tempering Martial Arts!"

Qin Yan was instantly filled with delight, and his eyes lit up.

He had originally thought that finding a suitable Body Tempering Martial Art would take quite some time, and he had even prepared himself to wait.

He had not expected Instructor Xiao Huo to be so efficient.

Only one day had passed, and he had already prepared several options for him!

"Xiao Shu, open the files immediately!"

Qin Yan impatiently gave the command to his Smart Bracelet, unable to hide the urgency in his voice.

"Command received. Opening the files for you now, Master."

A cool electronic female voice replied.

The next second, a clear blue light screen unfolded before him.

The first thing he saw was the detailed introduction to the first Body Tempering Martial Art:

[Flood Dragon Python Shedding Skin Spear]

Conceptual basis: Imitates the process by which a flood dragon python sheds its old skin and gains new life.

Style: The spear technique was agile and unpredictable, like a python moving through a forest, impossible to pin down.

It emphasized flexibility, deflection, and entangling control, concealing killing intent in silence.

First-Rank body tempering effect: Focused on tempering the skin and fascia, greatly enhancing the skin's elasticity, extensibility, and toughness.

After mastering it, the skin gained considerable resistance to cuts from sharp blades.

Through precise control over the muscles and skin texture, it could also deflect an enemy's weapon attacks to a certain extent.

At close range, one could even use flesh and skin to briefly clamp an opponent's weapon.

Details of the tempering method: [Insufficient permissions]

Cultivation requirement: Spear Technique proficiency had to reach Second Stage or above.

Grade evaluation: Exquisite Grade

Qin Yan read through it carefully and gained a general impression of this spear technique's elusive style.

However, it seemed somewhat at odds with the grand, upright, and unstoppable Spear Intent he sought.

He did not make a decision immediately and continued, "Xiao Shu, open the next file."

The content on the light screen refreshed accordingly:

[Blazing Sun Melting Snow Spear]

Conceptual basis: Drew upon the meaning of "the blazing sun hanging high, ice and snow melting away."

Style: The spear emerged like a great sun crossing the heavens, its momentum majestic and its force scorching and oppressive.

It excelled at suppressing opponents with absolute heat and fierce power, and had additional restraining effects against Martial Skills with cold and yin attributes.

First-Rank body tempering effect: The tempered flesh possessed extremely strong fire resistance and tolerance to high temperatures.

At the same time, it could "evaporate" and "disperse" some cold, yin-poison-type foreign force that had invaded the body through the pores of the skin.

It possessed a certain passive effect of dispelling poison and resisting evil influences.

Method for tempering flesh: [Insufficient permissions]

Cultivation requirement: Spear Technique proficiency had to reach Second Stage or above.

Grade evaluation: Exquisite Grade

This spear technique was fierce and blazing, and it was indeed quite powerful.

Qin Yan nodded to himself, but he was still not satisfied. He knew there were higher-level options ahead.

"Continue, Xiao Shu."

The third file opened, and even the words on the light screen seemed to carry a trace of chill:

[Mystic Ice Spear Technique]

Conceptual basis: Comprehended the bitter cold and silence of polar glaciers. Its Spear Force was bone-chillingly cold, like ancient mystic ice that froze all life.

Style: The Spear Force was icy and murderous. When the spear was used, cold air spread in all directions, effectively slowing the opponent's movements and blood-and-qi circulation.

First-Rank body tempering effect: Upon reaching Great Accomplishment, the flesh would naturally contain a trace of chill.

When attacked, a thin yet tough layer of "Ice Skin," comparable to refined iron, could instantly condense across the skin's surface.

This greatly enhanced physical defense.

The chill could also be transmitted through weapons or physical contact, slowing or even freezing the enemy's blood, qi, and limbs.

Method for tempering flesh: [Insufficient permissions]

Cultivation requirement: Spear Technique proficiency had to reach Third Stage or above.

Grade evaluation: Top Grade

Seeing the words "Top Grade" and the requirement of "Third-Stage Spear Technique proficiency," Qin Yan's spirits rose.

This was the Martial Skill that matched his current realm!

Its effects were also quite formidable. Whether it was the defensive Ice Skin or the controlling chill, both could play a crucial role in actual combat.

"The last one," he said expectantly.

The light screen changed again, displaying content that carried a magnificent grandeur:

[Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear]

Conceptual basis: Originated from a secret Body Refining art, pursuing an indestructible body and an incorruptible Golden Body.

When the long spear was wielded, it was like a golden dragon coiling around the body in protection, uniting offense and defense.

Style: The spear technique was broad and forceful, incomparably fierce, and focused on overwhelming opponents with sheer momentum.

Its Spear Force was not only peerlessly sharp and capable of injuring enemies through their bodies, but could also naturally form an invisible layer of "Counter-Shock Qi" around the user.

First-Rank body tempering effect: Once tempered to Great Accomplishment, the skin and fascia over the entire body would become incomparably tough, as though coated in an invisible layer of golden lacquer. Ordinary blades could not harm it in the slightest.

It had excellent resistance to blunt-force strikes and energy impacts, while the Counter-Shock Qi would continue to grow stronger as cultivation improved.

Tempering method: [Insufficient permissions]

Cultivation requirement: Spear Technique proficiency had to reach Third Stage or above.

Grade evaluation: Top Grade

Four spear-based Body Tempering Martial Arts—two Exquisite Grade and two Top Grade—were clearly laid out before Qin Yan.

Instructor Xiao Huo had explained the grading system for Body Tempering Martial Arts to him in detail yesterday.

They were generally divided into three grades: Ordinary Grade, Exquisite Grade, and Top Grade.

The higher the grade, the more efficient its body tempering and the deeper its tempering effects.

The foundation it established would naturally be firmer as well, with far-reaching influence on future development.

However, higher-grade Martial Skills also meant higher cultivation thresholds and greater difficulty.

Both of these Top Grade Martial Skills clearly required Third-Stage Spear Technique proficiency, and that was merely the minimum threshold.

To truly master and thoroughly understand them would require time, energy, and resources far beyond what Exquisite Grade Martial Skills demanded.

Instructor Xiao Huo had once revealed that among the geniuses of previous classes at Magic Capital Martial University,

quite a few had chosen Top Grade Body Tempering Martial Arts, but only a rare few had truly mastered them.

Many students had ultimately been forced to switch to Exquisite Grade Martial Skills midway through, wasting precious time for nothing.

Qin Yan pondered silently.

Among the Top Ten Freshmen of this cohort, perhaps only a handful of people, such as Xiao Wangshu, cultivated Top Grade Body Tempering Martial Arts.

After all, not every Top Grade Martial Skill required Third-Stage Martial Arts Skill proficiency, but anyone who could meet that standard was undoubtedly a true prodigy.
