Heaven-Grade Innate Bone: Primal Bear Demon Bone

[Year 44: You continued deducing the Great Power Bear Demon Fist, adding another four fist techniques. The Great Power Bear Demon Fist went from twenty-four forms to twenty-eight.]

[Year 50: Through your continuous deductions, the Great Power Bear Demon Fist gained another five techniques. Twenty-eight forms became thirty-three. You drew ever closer to the complete Great Power Bear Demon Fist!]

[Year 53: You seemed to have encountered a bottleneck. Your limited understanding of martial arts troubled you, making your deductions difficult. Several years passed without any progress.]

[Year 55: You sought out the black bear again, emptied your mind, and observed and imagined freely. As you watched, you unconsciously began to mimic its movements.

An insight dawned on you, and the Great Power Bear Demon Fist naturally advanced to thirty-six forms, perfectly completing this incomplete martial art!]

<High Grade · Incomplete · Great Power Bear Demon Fist>

Advanced!

High Grade · Great Power Bear Demon Fist!

[Year 59: High Grade · Great Power Bear Demon Fist (Great Perfection). Your innate bone underwent another transformation. However, it was still some distance from earth-grade innate bone!]

[Year 64: You seized upon that previous spark of insight and continued deducing the Great Power Bear Demon Fist, unexpectedly adding another four forms. To your surprise, you discovered that the Great Power Bear Demon Fist had yet to reach its full potential and could still be deduced further.]

[Year 70: The Great Power Bear Demon Fist was deduced to forty-six forms! Your flesh, skin, tendons, bones, and blood underwent another tremendous transformation! The itching in your bones surged. You gritted your teeth and persevered, practicing your fist techniques in a self-torturing frenzy. Rocks shattered and trees snapped around you! It was as if a demon bear had emerged!]

[Year 73: The Great Power Bear Demon Fist was deduced to forty-eight forms!]

High Grade · Great Power Bear Demon Fist!

Advanced!

<Ultimate Grade · Primal Great Power Bear Demon Fist>!

Innate bone transformation—earth-grade innate bone!

[Year 82: Ultimate Grade · Primal Great Power Bear Demon Fist (Major Accomplishment). The bone-deep itch struck again. This time, every bone in your body felt as though it were being squeezed and kneaded by immense force. The pain was unbearable! The itch penetrated your very marrow!

You would have bet that this was pain and itch unlike anything you had experienced in both your lives combined. At that moment, you even wanted to die just to escape this excruciating agony!]

[Year 87: The itching and pain in your bones lasted a full five years. During those five years, you drifted through life in a daze, not knowing how you endured them. Every day and every moment was torment, spent practicing martial arts in a self-torturing manner.

Finally, on this day, the immense pain and itch abruptly vanished. A boundless force erupted from the depths of your bone marrow! Your blood and qi were as mighty as a demon bear's, your height increased by a full inch, your bones crackled, and your innate bone completed its third transformation!]

[Ultimate Grade · Primal Great Power Bear Demon Fist (Great Perfection)]

Innate bone transformation—heaven-grade innate bone!

Named: Primal Bear Demon Bone!

[The current martial arts deduction has been completed and cannot continue.]

[Remaining cultivation progress: Three years.]

[Automatically settled!]

Mo Chen opened his eyes again, his heart filled with wild joy.

"Heaven-grade innate bone! Primal Bear Demon Bone?"

He had never imagined that after accumulating silver for so long, he would raise his innate bone by three grades in one stroke.

Put simply, innate bone referred to a person's naturally endowed bones and tendons.

Whether someone was suited to martial arts could be determined with a simple examination of their bones.

Those generally suited to martial arts were born with broad, sturdy bones. That was why most martial artists were brawny, broad-backed, and thick-waisted.

But heaven-grade innate bone was not merely a little better than medium-grade innate bone.

It was the difference between a fine steed and an ordinary horse.

"After my innate bone rose to high grade, the speed of my deductions and cultivation increased considerably. Now that it has risen to heaven grade, my cultivation speed will probably increase severalfold!"

A high-grade Great Power Bear Demon Fist had transformed his innate bone and raised it to high grade.

When the high grade advanced to ultimate grade, it directly transformed his innate bone into earth grade.

Now, after cultivating the ultimate grade to Great Perfection, his bones had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

They had actually broken through to heaven-grade innate bone—Primal Bear Demon Bone!

Mo Chen's gains from this cultivation session were truly immense!

"My cultivation and deduction took a full eighty-seven years. Adding the previous twenty-four years it took for the Great Power Bear Demon Fist to reach Minor Accomplishment, that makes one hundred and eleven years!"

Mo Chen took a deep breath.

An ordinary person's lifespan might not even reach seventy years.

Yet in a mere instant, he had used one hundred and eleven years to deduce an ultimate-grade martial art.

"Good thing I have the Martial Arts Master System. An ordinary martial artist could forget about transforming their innate bone in an entire lifetime!"

Come to think of it, the Great Power Bear Demon Fist was somewhat useless.

For ordinary martial artists, getting started with this fist technique was extremely difficult. It could easily take ten or twenty years just to begin.

To cultivate it to Minor Accomplishment would likely take another ten or twenty years.

Therefore, ordinary martial artists might transform their innate bone only once at most in their entire lives.

But for an extraordinarily gifted genius like Tantai Xiasang, this martial art would have a hard time transforming her heaven-grade innate bone any further.

Thus, for Tantai Xiasang, this fist technique could only be used to temper her body and strengthen her flesh. It could not bring her any further benefits in transforming her innate bone.

"The Great Power Bear Demon Fist may be useless to others, but to me, it is a priceless treasure!"

As long as Mo Chen could earn money, the more martial arts like this he had, the better. He wanted as many as he could get.

He could pile up money and use it to raise such martial arts to high realms.

Once his innate bone improved, combined with the Martial Arts Master System's cultivation progress exchange—

His martial arts cultivation speed would surpass that of countless geniuses.

In the future, if he entered the Martial Suppression Academy's Scripture Repository again...

At that thought, an anticipatory smile rose unconsciously to Mo Chen's lips.

"If I enter the Martial Suppression Academy's Scripture Repository, I will learn every top-tier martial art there!"

While deducing the Great Power Bear Demon Fist, he had encountered a bottleneck due to his narrow understanding of martial arts.

Therefore, broadening his knowledge and reserves of martial arts would be of immense benefit to his cultivation.

Mo Chen opened the system panel.

[Name: Mo Chen]

[Level: Third Tier]

[Martial Arts: Ultimate Grade · Primal Great Power Bear Demon Fist (Great Perfection)... and others.]

[Wealth: One hundred and five taels]

[Exchangeable martial arts cultivation progress: Eight years.]

[Equipable equipment slots: Three]

[Inventory slots: Fifteen]

[Required to advance to Fourth Tier: One thousand taels of silver, ten taels of gold.]

"There are still eight years left. Should I invest them in another martial art and see whether it can transform my innate bone?"

Mo Chen hesitated.

But after thinking it over, he decided against it.

There were only five days left until the martial arts examination, and he had nearly exhausted the restaurant's operating funds.

One hundred and five taels of silver would only provide eight years of cultivation. It would be difficult to deduce and cultivate a martial art to Great Perfection in that time.

But using it to buy ingredients for the restaurant was different—it could bring in more silver for his cultivation!

"I'll wait another five days. On the day the martial arts examination begins, I'll take out all the silver and exchange it!"

Having made his decision, Mo Chen felt deeply satisfied.

He lay on the bed, imagining the future.

Before he knew it, he drifted into sweet dreams.
