Qi Blood Six Changes

(P.S.: During the new book period, there will be two updates a day: one before 10 a.m., and the other at 6 p.m.)

Bang!

"1,223 kilograms!"

After everyone left, Yang Lie threw a full-force punch at the punching-force testing machine, and an astonishing number immediately appeared.

"Not bad. My punching force has already surpassed that of a Qi Blood Nine Changes martial artist. The Green Leaf Snake Fruits increased my talent for cultivating the Dragon Snake Stance Method and Snake Fist, but nine Green Leaf Snake Fruits only added 190 kilograms to my punching force, while also improving part of my speed and defense."

"However, cultivating Snake Fist has also given me an explosive technique—Snake Fang Thrust!"

A cold glint flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. His qi and blood surged throughout his body, and he resembled a coiled giant snake poised to devour its prey. His right fist shot out like a serpent's fang and slammed into the punching-force testing machine.

Bang!

"1,867 kilograms!"

Yang Lie fell into thought. "Not bad!! This martial technique within Snake Fist, Snake Fang Thrust, can increase my punching force by one-third through a special method of exerting force and breathing. This is one of the differences between Yellow-Rank Martial Skills and basic fist techniques."

Yang Lie put away the equipment before leaving the martial arts classroom.

"The Green Leaf Snake Fruits improved my aptitude for martial cultivation. In the long run, consuming the fruits of snake-type ferocious beasts will be extremely beneficial. But what I need most right now is to increase my combat strength!! After all, this is a base city—and one located on the front line!! So, the next fruit I should consume ought to be the Black Fur Vicious Wolf Fruit."

Beihe Base City was a base city located on the front line. All kinds of ferocious beast nests were scattered outside Beihe Base City, and that was precisely why Ferocious Beast Meat there was so cheap. In the safe rear regions, that Ferocious Beast Meat would be countless times more expensive than it was in Beihe Base City.

Almost every year, ferocious beast tides of all sizes attacked Beihe Base City. Most of the time, those ferocious beasts were wiped out before they could approach the city. However, there had also been years when the ferocious beasts broke through Beihe Base City's outer defenses and charged into its interior, causing countless casualties.

Moreover, the Secret God Society, which worshipped the Evil Gods, as well as all kinds of dark organizations, were hidden within Beihe Base City. Naturally, Yang Lie was filled with a sense of crisis.

Of course, Beihe Base City also had its advantages. The city was a forward base for hunting ferocious beasts, so many ferocious beast hunters formed teams of various sizes to hunt ferocious beasts and sell them here.

The arrival of vast numbers of ferocious beast hunters had made Beihe Base City's economy extremely prosperous. Ferocious Beast Meat and all kinds of precious natural treasures abundantly produced in ferocious beast territories were far cheaper here than in the safe rear regions.

Yang Lie went straight to the market and bought a Black Fur Vicious Wolf corpse to cultivate fruits.

In the days that followed, Yang Lie spent his time cultivating the Dragon Snake Stance Method and Snake Fist while cultivating Black Fur Vicious Wolf Fruits. Within eighty days, he smoothly completed two qi-blood transformations and became a Qi Blood Six Changes martial artist.

Eighty days later, inside the Small World.

"After consuming this Black Fur Vicious Wolf Fruit, I'll possess the complete strength of a Black Fur Vicious Wolf!"

Yang Lie swallowed the final Black Fur Vicious Wolf Fruit in one bite. The blood throughout his body began to boil, as though an incomparably mysterious flame were burning within him, strengthening his flesh, bones, blood, and spirit.

An hour later, the enhancement was finally complete.

"The enhancement is complete! My body feels much lighter! The Black Fur Vicious Wolf truly deserves its reputation as a low-grade first-order ferocious beast whose speed far surpasses that of humans!"

Yang Lie leaped into the air and felt as light as a swallow. His movement speed had become incomparably nimble, and he could not help revealing a smile.

Naturally, martial arts also included light skills. However, light skills were generally cultivated only in the Essence Solidification Realm, because only after qi and blood transformed into true qi could one use light skills to achieve all kinds of inconceivable supernatural effects.

The next day, after martial arts class ended.

Bang!

"2,173 kilograms."

Yang Lie punched the punching-force testing machine, instantly producing an astonishing number.

"My punching force is already close to the highest record of the Qi Blood Realm. My body contains the strength of a Scarlet Armored Vicious Ant, a Green Leaf Vicious Snake, a Black Fur Vicious Wolf, and my own strength. I wonder if I can contend with an Essence Solidification Realm martial artist?"

"According to the data, an ordinary first-level Essence Solidification Realm martial artist has a punching force of around 1,300 kilograms. My punching force has already reached that standard, but true qi is a higher form of life energy generated from the transformation of qi and blood, and Essence Solidification Realm martial artists will certainly have cultivated Yellow-Rank Martial Skills. It would be more prudent to assume the worst, since Essence Solidification Realm martial artists are the main force in hunting ferocious beasts!"

Yang Lie looked at the number on the punching-force testing machine and calmly assessed his combat strength.

Essence Solidification Realm martial artists were far stronger than Qi Blood Realm martial artists. They were the main force in hunting ferocious beasts. Many Essence Solidification Realm martial artists formed teams to hunt ferocious beasts around Beihe Base City and earn money.

It was precisely because large numbers of Essence Solidification Realm martial artists gathered there and constantly hunted the surrounding ferocious beasts that the beast tides in this region had gradually weakened.

"2,173 kilograms. Your punching force really is astonishing! But there's no true qi in your body, which means you're still a Qi Blood Realm martial artist. How unusual!!"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind Yang Lie.

Yang Lie's expression changed drastically. He spun around and looked behind him, only to see Fang Lingxiu standing quietly there.

Fang Lingxiu said apologetically, "Sorry, I came back to get the phone I left behind. I didn't expect to see your secret!"

Yang Lie asked, "Why didn't your footsteps make any sound?"

Fang Lingxiu chuckled. "This is the Mystic-Rank Light Skill Silent Step! It requires cultivation at the Essence Solidification Realm or above, and while cultivating it, one needs to consume the flesh and blood of flying insect-type ferocious beasts like the Flying Mantis to speed up the process. I maintain the cultivation of this light skill whether I'm walking, sitting, or lying down, so I basically make no sound when I walk."

Yang Lie praised, "That's impressive!"

A scorching fighting spirit flashed through Fang Lingxiu's eyes. "Yang Lie, how about we spar? I haven't had a sparring partner in a long time. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

Yang Lie's eyes lit up. "Alright!"

Martial arts required not only arduous cultivation, but also constant sparring and battle. Only then could one gain practical combat experience. Merely training behind closed doors could not bring out one's full strength.

Some people possessed incomparably rich combat experience. Even if their martial cultivation was somewhat weaker, they could still defeat stronger opponents and overcome martial artists with superior cultivation.

There were often sparring sessions in martial arts class as well, but just as Fang Lingxiu found troublesome, the other students were equally no match for Yang Lie. He could defeat them casually, so they could not serve as sparring partners at all.

Fang Lingxiu assumed the stance of the Vermillion Bird Palm and smiled confidently. "Come on, you attack first! Hit me with everything you've got!"
