Analysis, Creation, Immortal Body Tempering Technique!

While the entire class was still in shock.

Jiang Yuan did not even glance at Huang Yi on the ground and said to Zhang Yiming:

"Teacher Zhang, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. I'd like to take leave and cultivate at home."

Zhang Yiming snapped back to his senses and nodded. "O-Okay."

Jiang Yuan nodded and walked out of the classroom.

Only after he left did the students behind him react, and the classroom instantly erupted.

"What's going on with Jiang Yuan? How did he suddenly become so strong? Didn't he have an E-rank talent?"

"Did he take some kind of supplement?"

"Could his family even afford supplements?"

"Seriously, what the hell happened? His talent and vitality are both worse than Huang Yi's, yet he instantly defeated Huang Yi. I just can't figure it out."

"Chen Hao, do you know?"

"Ah... I-I don't know." Chen Hao forced a bitter smile.

Sitting on the Sky Rail home, Jiang Yuan looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, his heart clearer and more relaxed than ever before.

Primal Talent, a God-tier Class Change—it all felt like a dream.

Yet the surging power within him constantly reminded him otherwise.

This was not a dream.

It was real!

"Become strong, become a figure renowned far and wide, and let my parents live stable, prosperous lives."

Jiang Yuan's former dreams no longer seemed beyond reach!

"You have a new message, meow." His wristwatch vibrated as his intelligent assistant, Little Black Cat, sent him a notification.

Jiang Yuan opened it and saw that it was from his father.

Jiang Damu: Son, has school been hard lately? How did today's class-change awakening go?

It seemed his father cared deeply about this matter too.

Jiang Yuan could sense his anxiety even through the screen.

If he told him—

that he had awakened a talent above SSS-rank and undergone a mythical class change never before recorded, his father would probably faint on the spot.

Jiang Yuan smiled and decided to lie.

"I awakened an E-rank talent and became an Assassin."

After quite a while,

his father finally replied.

"An E-rank talent is a little lacking, but don't lose heart. A martial artist's strength isn't determined entirely by talent."

"The college entrance exam is almost here. You absolutely can't slack off. Make sure to use this last stretch of time to temper your body and practice martial arts properly."

"Your dad got paid today, so I transferred some money to your card. Use it to buy some ferocious beast meat and nourish yourself."

"You're at the age where you're growing and your vitality is rapidly increasing. Don't be stingy. Spend what you need to spend, and if it isn't enough, ask your dad for more."

Jiang Yuan's heart warmed.

"Okay, I understand. Dad, be careful too."

Jiang Damu replied quickly. "Mm, your dad knows. Don't worry. (●'◡'●)"

Jiang Yuan could not help laughing.

He even knew how to use emojis... Dad must have learned it online again.

Right, he still needed to tell Mom.

When he got home,

his aunt and cousin had not returned yet.

Jiang Yuan shut himself in his room, opened his status panel, and opened the reward chest he had received for clearing the Tower of Trials.

[You opened the treasure chest and obtained the support skill: Appraisal]

[Obtained rare equipment: Crimson Bracers]

[Obtained Contract Soul Beast Egg x1]

Jiang Yuan tapped to inspect them.

Appraisal (Active Skill): Can appraise the detailed attributes of unbound equipment, ferocious beasts, and items. Cooldown: ten minutes.

Crimson Bracers (Rare Equipment): Attack +15, Defense +10, Attack Speed +20%.

Contract Soul Beast Egg: After hatching, grants a soul beast bound to the user's soul by contract. It grows along with the user's level. Current hatching time required: 50 days.

"Not bad."

Jiang Yuan put on the Crimson Bracers and nodded in satisfaction.

A single piece of rare equipment on the market was worth millions. The Appraisal skill could only be mastered by those who had class-changed into an Appraiser. When Class-Transferred Warriors obtained equipment or materials, they often had to pay an Appraiser to inspect them. It was an exceptionally sought-after profession.

As for the Contract Soul Beast Egg, he placed it in the System Inventory to await hatching, hoping it might bring him a surprise.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his chin as he considered what to do next.

First, killing monsters to level up and grow stronger was the fastest shortcut for Jiang Yuan. It could also hone his skills and combat experience through battle, but entering the Abyss and dungeons required becoming a Tier-One Martial Artist.

Second, he could cultivate on his own, using potions and training to increase his vitality and slowly grow stronger.

"Either way, I need to become a Tier-One Martial Artist first."

"But normal cultivation is too slow."

"Buying Gene Potions that increase vitality... won't work either. They're too expensive."

Jiang Yuan stood with his arms folded, deep in thought. Then inspiration suddenly struck, and his eyes lit up.

I've got it!

Cultivation methods!

Other than killing monsters and leveling up, they were another path to becoming stronger.

These included body tempering methods, breathing methods, and Visualization Methods!

The three represented the body's essence, energy, and spirit. Only by constantly breaking through one's limits could one's life level evolve further!

There were countless body tempering methods on the market. Every private martial arts academy had one as its signature technique, and anyone could learn one by paying. They generally were not particularly high-level.

Breathing methods and Visualization Methods for cultivating the mind, however, were extremely expensive. Advanced ones were even rarer on the market and were generally never passed on to outsiders.

Besides Basic Martial Arts for practicing martial techniques, martial arts schools also provided the Basic Breathing Method—Flowing Water Breathing Technique—and the Basic Body Tempering Method—Bedrock Body Tempering Technique—for training vitality.

Being basic was not a bad thing. It meant they were simple, had few restrictions, were less difficult, and were easy to get started with. They were also universally recognized as the most suitable methods for ordinary people to cultivate. It would not be too late to switch after becoming a martial artist.

"I mastered Basic Martial Arts to the perfect level in just a few moments."

"Maybe I can also gain insight from the Basic Breathing Method and the body tempering method, then use Supreme Analysis to create a cultivation method best suited to me?"

The more Jiang Yuan thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

He immediately got to work.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, leaned back, and fell onto the bed. Staring at the ceiling, he gathered his focus and gradually entered a state of concentration. His brown-black pupils slowly turned a strange, brilliant rainbow color.

[Ding! You used Supreme Analysis to perceive the mysteries of body tempering. Bedrock Body Tempering Technique proficiency +100]

[Bedrock Body Tempering Technique proficiency +100]

[Beep, your Bedrock Body Tempering Technique has reached the minor mastery stage!]

[Beep, your Bedrock Body Tempering Technique has reached the major mastery stage!]

[Beep, Bedrock Body Tempering Technique has reached the perfect realm!]

It had taken less than three minutes to go from minor mastery to perfection!

Jiang Yuan's comprehension and deductions continued.

[Your understanding of body tempering methods has deepened]

[Your understanding of body tempering methods has deepened]

[You have comprehended the essence of body tempering and begun creating a body tempering method most suited to yourself. Current progress: 1%]

Who knew how much time had passed? The sky had already darkened.

[After six hours and thirteen minutes, you have completed all deductions]

[You analyzed the Basic Breathing Method and comprehended the essence of breathing. The Basic Breathing Method has evolved into the SSS-rank breathing method—Immortal Body Tempering Technique]

Hearing the system notification in his mind,

"It's finally... done."

The rainbow light faded from Jiang Yuan's eyes. His physical strength and mental energy could no longer hold on, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Late that night, Jiang Yuan's aunt, Tao Yufeng, returned home from overtime, dragging her exhausted body and carrying groceries.

"I'm home."

"There were too many patients today. You must be hungry, right?"

"Xiaoyuan?"

When there was no response, Tao Yufeng went to his room and pushed the door open for a look. Seeing Jiang Yuan lying on the bed, she quietly closed the door, then went to the kitchen, tied on an apron, and began cooking.

"We're back."

A crisp female voice rang out as a sweet-looking girl with a single ponytail walked into the house.

"Mom, is Brother Yuan back? How did his awakening go?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. He's asleep. He must be exhausted from training. Ask him tomorrow."
