Martial Dao Bureau, Zhang Baichuan

This Sixth Rank "Iron Body Art," like other martial arts, began with Qi Circulation, Force Infusion, and Inner Tempering, before progressing to Body Tempering, Bone Forging, Aperture Opening, and Meridian Opening.

Su Xinghe had long since become intimately familiar with these steps.

Compared with the robust Qi-Blood of "Spirit Ape Myriad Transformations," this "Iron Body Art" placed greater emphasis on tempering the physical body. Once Force Condensation reached great completion, Astral Qi could form a suit of iron armor over the body's surface.

However, Su Xinghe felt that his current physical strength was no slouch either. With his abundant Qi-Blood, the Premium Bone-Forging Pills, and the Fate Panel's traits, he had long surpassed others of the same rank.

Once his proficiency reached great completion, with the added defense of True Force Iron Armor, he would likely be able to withstand attacks from those of the same rank without suffering the slightest injury.

However, he was only at Eighth-Rank Dark Force right now.

What he needed to consider next was the circulation of the five viscera and six bowels, and transforming Qi into Astral Qi.

The Seventh-Rank Transformation Realm first required tempering the five viscera and six bowels.

Just as in the Lower Ninth Rank, one first used Qi-Blood to wash over the five viscera and six bowels. Then one stirred Internal Force to open apertures and establish circulation.

Su Xinghe merely tried the beginner stage of Qi Circulation, stirring his Qi-Blood for roughly thirty breaths.

An experience notification surfaced in his mind.

"Diligence Makes Up for Dullness, a hundred practices a day."

"'Iron Body Art,' experience +1."

Because he had not used the Consciousness Space, he had gained only one point of experience.

He opened the Fate Panel.
