Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In a valley, Lin Feng was digging a crystal core out of an exotic beast's brain.
Over those three days, Lin Feng had saved up another 3,000 Energy Points.
Wanting to make things a little harder for himself so the fighting wouldn't be so dull, Lin Feng hadn't upgraded at all.
For three days, Lin Feng had either been fighting or on his way to a fight. His days had been very full.
Whenever he got hungry or sleepy, he gave himself a cut, and his condition instantly recovered in full. It was extremely comfortable.
Lin Feng had killed just about all the exotic beasts in the area. After gathering his spoils, he prepared to start upgrading.
Name: Lin Feng Level: Perfect Third Grade (0/400) Energy Points: 3,200 Skills: Basic Fist Technique (beginner) (0/500), Basic Footwork (beginner) (0/500), Basic Body Refinement Method (beginner) (0/500) Divine ability: Black Iron Battle Body
He spent Energy Points and began upgrading.
As the upgrade began, Lin Feng felt a tingling numbness in his bones. The tempering of his bones had begun.
Once his bones were tempered, his strength increased again.
Lin Feng had originally been at the Body Refinement Fourth Grade, but his cultivation had been imperfect.
Now, Lin Feng had finally achieved Perfect Fourth Grade cultivation.
Even without using Black Iron War God, Lin Feng's strength reached 600 kg. After using Black Iron War God, his strength surged to 900 kg, enough for him to take on a Body Tempering Ninth Grade martial artist head-on.
To Lin Feng, the greater his strength, the more useful the Black Iron Battle Body became.
Moreover, the Black Iron Battle Body was only the initial version of the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. As Lin Feng's physical body grew stronger, it could continue to evolve. Only then would the power of the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body be revealed.
So, as far as Lin Feng was concerned, cultivating his physical body was also a good choice.
Lin Feng remembered his teacher saying that there was an extremely painful path of cultivation: focusing solely on the physical body and attaining sainthood through the flesh.
It was said that martial artists who specialized in Body Tempering were extremely powerful in combat.
As for the pain of Body Tempering cultivation, Lin Feng didn't care.
If he could feel pain, that might not be a bad choice either.
After all, if cultivation was too easy, it really was boring.
Lin Feng planned to learn more about the path of Body Tempering when he returned. For now, he would break through first.
Although he had broken through to Perfect Fifth Grade and gained the ability to take on a Body Tempering Ninth Grade martial artist head-on, Lin Feng still wasn't satisfied.
As someone with a cheat, Lin Feng would have been embarrassed to say he had one if he couldn't fight above his level.
Without further ado, Lin Feng continued upgrading.
As his Energy Points were consumed, Lin Feng felt the spinal cord running through his body begin to heat up.
The spine was the most important part of the body, and it was full of nerves.
Ordinary people tempered their spines with the utmost care, but under the effect of the Energy Points, his spine was tempered rapidly.
Before long, the tempering was complete, and Lin Feng felt his strength surge by another substantial amount.
But for Lin Feng, it still wasn't enough. He needed to keep growing stronger and continue upgrading.
His five zang organs, six fu organs, and twelve primary meridians began to be tempered.
His qi and blood circulated at full force, and the light radiating from Lin Feng made him look like a little moon.
Roar! A beast's roar came from the distance. It seemed to have sensed Lin Feng's aura and was rapidly approaching him.

Crack, crack.
Crisp cracking sounds came from Lin Feng's body as his bones stretched.
Lin Feng moved his body and felt that he was now bursting with strength.
With 3,000 Energy Points spent, Lin Feng's cultivation had reached Perfect Eighth Grade. His physical strength alone had reached 1,200 jin.
If he activated the Black Iron Battle Physique, Lin Feng could probably beat a Qi Sea First Layer martial artist to death with his bare hands.
With all the energy in his body and no way to vent it, Lin Feng longed for an opponent.
