Reborn, Strength Training Perfected!

Twenty days later.

The rear courtyard of Benevolent World Hall.

Jiang Wangzu drank the last dose of the enhanced Mysterious Altar Nine-Turn Secret Medicine.

He felt the blood and qi throughout his body boiling, waves of heat bursting from within him like an erupting volcano.

The bones all over his body cracked and popped, as if they had been crushed apart by brute force, then grown back anew.

This repeated he knew not how many times, until he felt as if he had undergone a complete rebirth, shedding his mortal body and replacing his bones!

And his strength had reached an astonishing five thousand jin. A single swing of one arm carried five thousand jin of tremendous force. Even a Skin-Polishing martial artist—how many punches of his could they withstand?

The current him felt stronger than ever before!

"Force starts from the spine. One swing of one arm carries five thousand jin of tremendous strength."

"Sinews and bones cry out together. After shedding the mortal body and replacing the bones, the Mysterious Jade Tiger Bone is finally formed!"

"Tiger-leopard thunder sound tempers the five viscera and six bowels."

"Tell me, who at the Strength-Training level could compare to me?"

Looking at his perfect physique, Jiang Wangzu spoke with great emotion in his heart.

[Black Tiger Fist perfected. Talent acquired: Mysterious Jade Tiger Bone!]

[Sacrifice ten Strength-Training-level Tiger Form Fist manuals to help the cultivation method break its limits and become a super-first-rate Strength-Training method!]

[Current progress (0/10)]

"Holy fucking shit!"

"Cultivation method deduction, cultivation method evolution!"

"The attribute panel is seriously too damn awesome!"

"As long as I find ten Strength-Training-level Tiger Form Fist manuals, I can make my Black Tiger Fist advance to the super-first-rate level!"

"Wouldn't that lay an unbreakable foundation for me?"

"If I can do this in other realms too, doesn't that mean my foundation will far surpass other martial artists?"

"If I push every single realm step by step to its absolute limit, wouldn't I become invincible under heaven?"

"I'm not eating beef anymore!"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Wangzu secretly rejoiced in his heart and could not help bursting into loud laughter.

Fortunately, this was in the early hours before dawn. The rear courtyard had long since emptied, and the Little Medical Immortal had also been sent home early by him.

However, the few apprentices on night duty were badly startled by Jiang Wangzu's unrestrained laughter.

Recently, Jiang Wangzu had been busy preparing the song-and-dance hall, so busy his feet barely touched the ground.

But even so, going to practice martial arts with that little rich lady Han Qiao every three days, and coming to the Little Medical Immortal to drink Strength-Training secret medicine—these were fixed like thunder striking without fail.

Because in this world, everything was empty and false; only strength truly belonged to oneself.

That was especially true in this mysterious world where great power belonged to the individual!

As long as one had strength, even after countless failures, one could still fall and climb back up again.

Without strength, even ten thousand strings of family wealth were destined to be impossible to keep!

With Jiang Wangzu's breakthrough in Black Tiger Fist, he felt that his Iron Garment Skill had also received some back-feeding.

He believed it would not be long before he could grind it all the way to great perfection.

By then, even a martial artist at major accomplishment in Skin-Polishing might not necessarily be his match!

Moreover, Old Master Chen had said that once his Iron Garment Skill reached major accomplishment, he would personally pass on to him the top-tier third-rate external-training method, Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt!

External-training methods were different from orthodox cultivation methods. They focused on developing the strength of the physical body.

There were no specific realm divisions.

There was only one ultimate goal: sanctifying the flesh, becoming undying through the ages.

But cultivating external-training methods could not be done in one leap; one had to proceed step by step.

No one could skip third-rate and second-rate external-training methods and directly cultivate first-rate, or even super-first-rate, external-training methods.

Because strengthening the physical body was a process of gradual accumulation. At no point could it be achieved in one leap.

First-rate methods, even super-first-rate methods, were indeed tyrannical.

But if someone with no foundation, or with only a shallow foundation, practiced them, there was only one outcome: their fleshly body would split apart and they would die.

In fact, because some external-training martial artists found it very difficult to cultivate a single external-training method to great perfection, they often practiced several external-training methods at the same time, continuously stacking them to strengthen their own physical bodies.

This allowed their physical bodies to be strengthened to the point where they could cultivate higher-level external-training methods.

So, to Jiang Wangzu, the top-tier third-rate hard-body cultivation method, Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, was absolutely a rare, first-class hard-body technique!

Three days later.

Jiang Wangzu once again came to Chen Liujia's residence.

Han Qiao had already been waiting for him for quite some time.

He had no idea what kind of business Han Qiao actually did, that she could be so free in the afternoon.

But when he thought about how she was a big boss who handled some matters every morning, her afternoons naturally became free.

Now that her business had already gotten on the right track, and she had several capable assistants under her, even if she did not go deal with business matters for a few days, it would be completely fine.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved.

"Old Master Chen, Sister Qiao, I've reached perfect mastery in strength training!"

The moment Jiang Wangzu arrived at Chen Liujia's residence, he shouted happily.

"One month, and you've reached perfect mastery in strength training?"

"Good lad. I really didn't misjudge you!"

Chen Liujia was still like a ghostly apparition. His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Jiang Wangzu.

He reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Wangzu's wrist, and his eyes could not help but widen.

Then he felt over Jiang Wangzu's bones again.

"It's over!"

"I'm not clean again, again, again, again!"

Jiang Wangzu wailed inwardly.

"How is this possible?"

"I felt this kid's bones twice before, and both times his innate foundation was utterly ordinary."

"How did his bone structure turn into Innate Jade Bone this time?"

"I've heard that some people, due to congenital deficiencies, don't show their innate foundation."

"But once they replenish their vital energy later in life, or begin practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, their innate foundation will slowly manifest."

"Could this kid be in exactly that situation?"

"I knew it. How could there be someone who absorbs secret medicine so quickly and has extraordinary comprehension, yet whose innate foundation is trash?"

"Hahaha!"

"This kid is a genius!"

"I've picked up a treasure again!"

Bright gleams flashed in Chen Liujia's eyes as he looked at Jiang Wangzu as though he were gazing at a rare treasure.

But that look made Jiang Wangzu feel a wave of chills.

"Master, are you planning to fulfill your promise?"

Han Qiao glanced at Chen Liujia, then said with a smile.

"What promise?"

Jiang Wangzu looked completely baffled.

"Master made a bet with me. He said that if you reached major accomplishment in strength training within one month and perfect mastery in strength training within three months, he would accept you as his disciple, and he would also grant you a stroke of good fortune."

Han Qiao spoke up.

"Master above, please accept this disciple's bow!"

When Jiang Wangzu heard this, he immediately dropped to the ground with a thud and forcefully kowtowed three times to Chen Liujia, each one ringing loud.

Chen Liujia was a true big shot.

He had always wanted to cling to a thick thigh.

But alas, his own innate foundation had been too poor.

And Big Shot Chen had never expressed any intention of taking him as a disciple.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could he not seize it quickly?

Besides, he had already cultivated to perfect mastery in strength training.

For Black Tiger Fist to advance, he needed ten Tiger Form Fists at the strength-training level, and he could not get those.

As for Skin Refining Realm methods, he could not get those either.

He had come here today wanting to see if Old Master Chen would, for Han Qiao's sake, teach him a few more moves.

Even if he only passed on some loose and ordinary skin-refining method, that would be fine!

But he had not expected that Old Master Chen had actually made a bet with Han Qiao and even intended to take him as a disciple?

Wasn't this a meat pie falling from the sky?
