Please Step Into the Urn

Though the snapping of great tendons also produced a hum, it was far less intense than the resonance of bone.

After the bones in his arm trembled, an unprecedented surge of power immediately flooded into his limbs and bones like a raging torrent.

Xie An slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

Hummm!

He immediately felt a vast, majestic force gathering at the tip of his fist.

"So this is the power that comes from the bones..."

Bone Tempering did not merely make one's bones compact and dense; it could also awaken the power hidden within the bones themselves. Martial artists called this "Bone Opening."

The human body contained a total of two hundred and six bones, and every single one concealed strength.

Twenty-nine were skull bones, protecting the brain and the five senses.

Fifty-one were trunk bones, including the spine, ribs, sternum, and more, supporting the body's torso.

The limbs contained the most bones, one hundred and twenty-six in all, divided roughly equally between the upper and lower limbs.

Though there were many great tendons, Bone Tempering was far more difficult than Muscle-Tendon Tempering.

For an ordinary martial artist, opening fifty bones counted as Perfected Bone Tempering.

Opening every bone was practically impossible.

Hummm!

At that moment, the second bone in his right arm began to hum. Along with the tingling sensation came an even more tyrannical force.

Then the third and fourth arm bones began humming and trembling in succession.

The fifth, the sixth...

Crackle, crackle...

Xie An's whole body was like popcorn bursting in a wok—tingling here, tingling there.

Just hearing the sounds was enough to make one's blood race.

Who knew how long passed before the crackling finally stopped.

Xie An counted carefully. A total of fifty bones had trembled and hummed.
