Sword God Body Tempering Technique, Fourth Layer

Seeing this, even Shakky and Lazuli, who were watching from the side, could not help clenching their fists and looking at Li Yuan with some tension.

This was Li Yuan's first time using firearms to train. After all, firearms were still very powerful.

Even the bodies of some Marine Vice Admirals who were strong in physical techniques would be injured if they were hit by firearms without using Iron Body or other methods.

"Fire!"

Li Yuan spoke with his eyes closed.

Bang, bang, bang!!!!

The thirty junior disciples in front fired at the same time. Li Yuan could feel the bullets tearing through his skin and drilling into his muscles, only to be caught by those muscles.

However, as the Sword God Body Tempering Technique circulated, the bullets lodged in his muscles began to be forced out, and then the wounds began to heal.

"Fire!"

Sensing the condition of his body, Li Yuan gave the order again.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

While the thirty junior disciples in the first ring were reloading, the thirty junior disciples in the second ring continued firing, cycling through again and again. Only after more than six thousand bullets had been fired did Li Yuan call a stop.

"Huff!!!!"

When the sound of gunfire stopped, Li Yuan's body was riddled with holes and covered in blood. He looked hideous and terrifying to the extreme, nothing like a living person should.

Splash, splash!!!

Kano and Karu skillfully carried buckets of water over and helped Li Yuan wash the blood from his body.

Although Li Yuan's injuries looked horrifying right now, they were all superficial muscle wounds. After only a few minutes, the injuries all over his body were already on the verge of fully healing.

Afterward, only after Li Yuan ate mouthful after mouthful of Sea King barbecue did he finally end his morning training in satisfaction.

"I've never seen anyone train as crazily as you."

After Li Yuan came to Shakky's side, Shakky could not help complaining. This was her first time seeing such a self-abusive cultivation method.

"If you're not crazy, you won't become a monster. For me, this is already routine. If you want to obtain power, naturally, you have to pay a price."

Li Yuan said it indifferently.

"Speaking of which, what do I have to do if I want to join the Rocks Pirates?"

Li Yuan went straight to the point. Joining the Rocks Pirates had been his previous goal. This largest ship in the New World carried many monsters.

He wanted to go aboard and see just how strong the other monsters on that ship were. Even more, he wanted to see just how strong Rocks, who was famed throughout the world and called the world's strongest, truly was!

Although Rocks later failed in his challenge against the World Government, he was the only pirate in the past century who had possessed the qualifications to challenge the World Government.

Even Roger, the so-called One Piece, was far inferior to Rocks in both strength and power.

As an ambitious man, Li Yuan naturally would not miss the Rocks Pirates, this enormous ship that had nurtured countless monsters.

"The Rocks Pirates are on Hachinosu Island. Every once in a while, they open up a recruitment selection to screen powerful pirates to join the Rocks Pirates. The most recent recruitment selection is in just over a month."

Shakky was not surprised by Li Yuan's desire to join the Rocks Pirates.

After all, in the current New World, the goal of many pirates was to join the Rocks Pirates. Any smart pirate knew it was easier to enjoy the shade when leaning against a great tree.

"Do you have a pointer to Hachinosu Island?"

Li Yuan continued asking. He did want to go to Hachinosu Island, but he did not know the direction or location. After all, he had only just gone out to sea and did not have that thing.

"Here, this is it!"

Shakky took out the pointer from that ample bosom of hers and handed it to Li Yuan.

"Are you going back to Hachinosu Island? Or are you getting off the ship?"

Li Yuan looked at Shakky and asked. As for Shakky, he would not restrict her by force. He would respect his woman's choice.

No matter what Shakky thought, he had already taken Shakky as his woman.

"Of course I'm going back to Hachinosu Island. This time, my intelligence outpost was destroyed, so I still have to go back and explain the intelligence clearly, then establish a new intelligence outpost."

Shakky said.

"Then fine. On the ship, if you need anything, just look for Lazuli!"

"Also, you're my woman now, so from now on, you can only have me as your man!"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he walked away. He needed to carry out other training.

"What a domineering little man."

Looking at Li Yuan's departing back, the corners of Shakky's mouth lifted slightly, and a little more approval appeared in her beautiful eyes.

After handing the pointer to the navigator and having the ship sail toward Hachinosu Island, Li Yuan put on his weighted iron armor, tied on a rope, then jumped into the Great Sea to continue training.

On the ship, it was impossible to carry out any intense training. Otherwise, the entire ship would be easily destroyed by him.

Only the all-embracing Great Sea could withstand his unrestrained slashes and all kinds of devastation.

The enormous pressure of the Great Sea made him feel a deep stinging pain all over his body. It was not only pressure on the muscles of his body; the pressure on his Internal Organs also increased in a straight line with the depth of the Great Sea.

Ever since awakening Armament Haki, the speed at which Li Yuan's physique grew was as if it had been put on an accelerator, soaring fast, and the speed at which his Haki increased was also extremely quick.

After rescuing Shakky, the Limitless Pirates sailed toward Hachinosu Island. Whenever they passed an island, they replenished supplies, then continued sailing.

After sailing for more than half a month, Li Yuan had already trained his Haki to the point where it was enough to cover his entire body. In other words, he could now begin cultivating the fourth layer of the Sword God Body Tempering Technique.

"Let's give it a try and see what's different between Haki Body Tempering and other body tempering methods."

As for the entire contents of the Sword God Body Tempering Technique, Li Yuan had long since memorized them so thoroughly he could recite them backward. He had only been waiting for the day he possessed Armament Haki.

Following the circulation method of the fourth layer of the Sword God Body Tempering Technique, he used Haki to temper his skin along a special circulation path across the skin of his entire body.

"Hiss!!!!"

As soon as the Tempering began, Li Yuan felt an intense pain arise on his skin.

It was like an ordinary person being bitten all over by countless ants. That sour, stinging sensation made even Li Yuan, who underwent devilish training every day, draw in a sharp breath.

"What does this little bit of pain count for!"

However, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and endured this pain. To put it plainly, this bit of pain was nothing at all to his firm will. He had undergone training more painful than this countless times.

After he got used to this pain, Li Yuan, who was proficient in Life Return and had very strong control over his own body, began to discover something.

After being tempered by Haki, his skin had become a little tighter. This made his skin's defense become slightly stronger.

If he kept tempering it for a long time, his skin would become increasingly tight and firm, and its defense would also become increasingly powerful.
