Three Great Fusion Martial Arts, A Feeling in My Heart, Breaking Through to the Next Minor Realm

Jiang Yi's internal energy surged and boiled, adding another thousand jin of strength.

A trace of energy also slowly emanated!

It seemed light and graceful, then turned fierce and murderous, heavy as stone.

The martial art's artistic conception could be switched at will!

Once activated, three words describe it—

Fast, Accurate, Ruthless!

It was as if a timid and weak swan goose suddenly unleashed its might, shedding its appearance and revealing the face of the sky's overlord, the goshawk.

"Continue!"

"Expend... ten years of lifespan, simulate martial art—Mountain Splitting Palm."

With the breakthrough in realms and the completion of cultivating the Cauldron Origin Art.

From a vantage point!

These martial arts no longer required him to spend too much time deducing and simulating.

Ten years was enough!

[Year 1, you begin cultivating Mountain Splitting Palm.]

[Year 2, you have gained a preliminary understanding, palm techniques are initiated.]

[Year 4, Mountain Splitting Palm achieves minor success.]

[Year 7, Mountain Splitting Palm achieves great success, adding six hundred jin of strength.]

[Year 9, due to the commonalities between Mountain Splitting Intent and Rock Steadiness Intent, you comprehended Mountain Splitting Intent, reaching completion in one go.]

[Strength increased by another six hundred jin, reaching five thousand two hundred jin.]

[Year 10, you combine Mountain Splitting Palm with various other martial arts, attempting to merge artistic conceptions.]

[In the final few days, you have reached a state of switching at will!]

"Expend 10 years of lifespan, simulate martial art—Tiger Roar Fist."

[Year 1, you practice Tiger Roar Fist.]

[Year 2, Tiger Roar Fist achieves minor success.]

[Year 5, the fist technique has reached great success, adding five hundred jin of strength.]

[Year 8, you comprehended Tiger Roar Intent.]

[Year 10, Tiger Roar Fist is completely perfected, adding another eight hundred jin.]

[With every movement, you can unleash a full force of six thousand five hundred jin.]

[In the same year, you also attempted to integrate Tiger Roar Fist into your other learned skills.]

"Expend 10 years of lifespan, simulate martial art—Wrathful Blade Art."

This was a "peculiar" blade art!

It used "wrath" to mobilize the body's blood energy, then continuously practiced blade techniques to temper muscles, bones, and flesh, and increase strength.

One must first comprehend the "intent," then wield the "blade!"

[Year 1, you attempt to comprehend the artistic conception of this martial art.]

[You tried practicing blade techniques midway, but the effect was poor.]

[Year 4, you become increasingly proficient with the various moves of Wrathful Blade Art.]

[Year 5, after three to four years of diligent effort, you forcefully entered the minor success stage of the martial art.]

[But you could feel that you were still only scratching the surface, having not yet grasped the true essence of the martial art.]

[Year 6, you began to become irritable.]

[Year 7, in a state of irritable rage, you seemed to comprehend something.]

[In the same year, you comprehended a wisp of Wrathful Blade Intent!]

[Year 8, Wrathful Blade Art achieved great success.]

[Year 9, the martial art was completely perfected, your physique was strengthened, and your strength reached seven thousand five hundred jin.]

[Year 10, you had nothing to do and spent the year lying flat.]

Jiang Yi's strength increased by another thousand jin!

At this moment, his physique was already incomparably robust, filled with a power that seemed ready to erupt.

It was as if dragons and tigers were hidden within!

Capable of splitting mountains and cleaving peaks, overturning seas and stirring up the heavens!

"Interesting!"

As Jiang Yi digested the experience from perfecting the Wrathful Blade Art.

A spark flashed in his eyes!

Although this blade art only added a thousand jin, bringing a martial artist to the most common muscle-refining realm.

On the other hand—its explosive power was quite astonishing!

Especially the final move!

Named "Wrathful Blade Slash," with full power, it could actually unleash 200% of one's strength.

To him!

How terrifying was that? Once unleashed, it would be fifteen thousand jin.

Equivalent to the combined strength of fifteen ordinary martial artists in the muscle-refining realm!

This was no longer a simple case of one plus one!

It could serve as a major trump card for him.

Of course, all of this was built upon his perfect comprehension of "Wrathful Blade Intent."

A common man's fury spills five steps of blood!

What about a martial artist's fury!

Jiang Yi's mind stirred!

A trace of scorching, furious blade intent slowly emerged from him.

He felt his hair stand on end with rage, determined to slash down everything!

Gods blocking, he'd kill gods; Buddhas blocking, he'd kill Buddhas!

His entire being was like a dormant volcano suddenly coming alive.

Stillness meant nothing, but movement meant overturning the heavens and earth!

After a long while, that terrifying aura of Wrathful Blade Intent finally subsided.

[Master: Jiang Yi]
[Cultivation: Muscle-refining realm]
[Physique: None]
[Techniques: Nameless Scripture (Incomplete), Rock Steadiness Fist (Perfected), Eagle Claw Technique (Perfected), Cauldron Origin Art (Perfected), Mountain Splitting Palm (Perfected), Tiger Roar Fist (Perfected), Soaring Cloud Leap (Perfected), Wrathful Blade Art (Perfected)]
[Lifespan: 3]

"All Yellow-grade low-tier martial arts are perfected!"

"With the boost from five martial arts, I wonder if I can fight beyond my level?"

"Realm doesn't equate to strength!"

"With my power, I have already far surpassed the scope defined by this realm!"

Without a doubt!

In this small town, his ability to protect himself had once again greatly improved.

Immediately!

Jiang Yi turned his gaze back to the primary technique at the top—Nameless Scripture (Incomplete).

"Returning to the origin; Creation of the primordial; Yin and Yang cycle; The Great Dao is formless..."

There were only these sixteen short words!

No cultivation method, no moves, yet it was a cultivation technique.

Obviously!

This was definitely not an ordinary martial art!

Or rather!

It couldn't even be called a martial art. It should belong to the "Great Dao True Words" of myths and legends.

It was more like something from the upper realm, belonging to immortals and gods!

But why did it fall into his hands?

Jiang Yi seemed to have a vague impression that someone had passed it to him.

Falling into water? A veiled figure in white?

It was her, not him?

A chance encounter?

Who was she?

Why did she pass it to him?

Jiang Yi couldn't understand. Perhaps if he met that person again someday, everything would become clear.

"Let's put it aside for now!"

As for spending Lifespan to simulate, Jiang Yi thought about it and decided against it.

This thing was too profound!

Spending seven or eight years of Lifespan felt like tossing a pebble into the ocean.

It probably wouldn't even cause a ripple!

Without at least a hundred or eighty years saved up, there was absolutely no point in even thinking about it.

Jiang Yi shook his head!

It was better to think about how to obtain martial arts and cultivation methods higher than Yellow-grade low-tier!

It had only been less than a day!

To tell the Fishing Guild that he had already mastered everything and broken through to the Muscle-refining realm.

That was simply too exaggerated!

"Genius" was no longer enough to describe him!

The only words that could be used were "monstrous prodigy" or "reincarnated deity"!

"I'll wait a few more days."

Jiang Yi sighed!

There was no help for it; these were the troubles that came with improving too quickly!

"Sigh, what a worry!"

"However, breaking through to the next minor realm doesn't seem too difficult for me."

The next minor realm--

was called the Tendon-refining realm!

Martial artists in this realm would nurture their entire body's tendons. Once the tendons became like bowstrings, their strength could transform into profound energy, permeating all their limbs and bones!

It was as if their entire being became a single unit, a "rope," which they could then unleash.

Once this minor realm was achieved, it was considered complete.

Currently, Jiang Yi had cultivated the five martial arts to a state of perfection.

His strength reached seven thousand, his physique was robust, and his tendons were resilient!

He was in no way inferior to a martial artist in the Tendon-refining realm!

As he moved his body, a surge of powerful energy arose!

As if sensing something!

Jiang Yi raised his hand, his intent swirling. He unleashed a palm strike, and his strength gathered through his hundred meridians, converging directly at his palm!

The force erupted, his vital energy domineering and heavy!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound echoed through the air!

"This is--Cauldron Origin Mountain Splitting Force!"

At this moment, his cultivation on the status panel slowly changed!

[Cultivation: Tendon-refining realm.]
