In the courtyard.
Jiang Ning sat beneath the moonlight. After sorting through everything he had mastered, he took a sheet of yellowed paper from his Sumeru Ring.
This yellowed paper contained a copied detailed explanation of the Martial Dao Sixth Rank, the Bone-Forging Realm.
When he had exchanged for the detailed explanation of the Seventh Rank from the Internal Affairs Office last time, he had also exchanged for this yellowed paper recording the details of the Sixth-Rank Bone-Forging Realm.
He had long since read everything recorded on the yellowed paper.
Yet at this moment, he still took out this yellowed paper on the Sixth-Rank Bone-Forging Realm and prepared to read through it again from beginning to end, lest there be any omissions or errors in his memory.
His gaze fell upon the yellowed paper. As the dark clouds dispersed, the tiny black characters, as small as ants, became clearly visible beneath the bright moonlight.
As Jiang Ning reread words he had seen before, no notification of increased experience for the skill Literacy appeared before his eyes.
Because according to the rules he had figured out, repeated reading could not bring experience gains.
A moment later.
Jiang Ning finished reading it all. The words recorded on the yellowed paper became further ingrained in his mind, branded there as though carved by axe and chisel.
With a slight recollection, the explanation of the Martial Dao Sixth-Rank Bone-Forging Realm surfaced in his mind once more.
According to the yellowed paper, the Sixth-Rank Bone-Forging Realm was the final realm and final step of external physical cultivation.
After the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones had undergone bone forging, every bone in the body would be as hard as refined iron.
Under such circumstances, even thousand-forged refined iron would find it difficult to sever human bones.
