Two Hearts
In the courtyard.
Fang Yu's Qi and Blood surged, and he practiced the moves of the "Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art" one move at a time.
These moves are not complicated; they are all wide and sweeping. The core of these moves lies not in the techniques themselves, but in the flow of Qi and Blood behind each move.
As the surging Qi and Blood through his heart meridian, they constantly stimulate and temper it, causing his heart to beat slower and more steadily, which in turn makes each of his punches increasingly powerful.
[Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art +1]
Suddenly, a notification message appeared.
Fang Yu glanced at the message and continued practicing. However, the next moment, he felt a surge of Qi and Blood flowing through his heart, and a small fleshy lump suddenly bulged out next to his heart.
"This is!"
Fang Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he continued practicing. He felt all the Qi and Blood and energy in his body rushing towards the little fleshy bun. As the Qi and Blood continued to flow in, the little fleshy bun also grew larger and larger. In just a short while, Qi and Blood in his body was consumed.
An intense hunger struck, making Fang Yu want to eat a whole cow.
The next moment, the Yuanchen Pearl began to spin rapidly, and the Primordial Qi transformed into Qi and Blood, replenishing the body and surging into the nearly depleted body.
The small fleshy lump next to the heart received continuous nourishment from the Qi and Blood, and continued to grow slowly. Soon, it grew to the size of an infant's fist.
Upon internal observation, the fleshy mass slowly began to beat in sync with the heartbeat. At first, it was very slow; the heart would beat more than ten times before it beat once. But with each beat, a new surge of Blood Qi was propelled out and merged into the Dao Lord's bloodline.
As time passed, the meat bun throbbed faster and faster, soon matching the heartbeat.
"Bang bang bang..."
Amidst the pulsating sound like drumbeats, Fang Yu felt his Qi and Blood accelerate, and his body began to swell. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to two meters tall, and then continued to expand. Every inch of his flesh was growing wildly, and every bone was thickening and lengthening.
2.2 meters, 2.5 meters, 3 meters.
His height stopped growing when he reached three meters; the rate of flesh and blood growth had reached its limit, and the Qi and Blood emanating from his two hearts had also reached their limit.
His skin was now covered with twisted blood vessels and bulging muscles, and his strength increased several times over with the support of this physical body.
He simply lifted his foot and stepped down, and the ground in the yard sank in. After walking around the yard once, the entire ground had sunk a layer, as if it had been rolled over by a road roller.
Fang Yu took a deep breath, then felt that his breathing was a little difficult. His lungs were too fragile and could not support such a large body with such low energy expenditure for a long time.
After exhaling again, his heartbeat slowed down, and his body began to compress and shrink in sync. The newly grown bones and flesh began to squeeze, break, and repair themselves, making his body more resilient and tough, and his bones stronger.
Once his body returned to its original height, Fang Yu could clearly feel that the strength of his entire body had undergone a qualitative change.
At the same time, the Primordial Qi within the Yuanchen Pearl, which was originally enough for him to use, was also completely consumed.
"This is the internal organ Organ Training of the Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art!"
Fang Yu murmured to himself, the Cultivation Method for advancing to the Master level of the "Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art" appearing in his mind. The Cultivation Method said that when advancing to the Master level, the heart meridian would be strengthened, making it as powerful as the heart of the Mystic Armor Elephant.
But in reality, a second heart grew next to the original heart, and the two hearts beat together, which greatly enhanced the effect.
Fang Yu's Divine Thought fluctuated, and the panel in front of him appeared:
[Mysterious Armor Prison-Suppressing Art (Fourth Grade): 39%]
It seems his understanding of this Cultivation Method is somewhat superficial, and he is unable to accurately assess his progress. He has now grown a second heart, which in his past understanding was only Fourth Grade, but in reality, he can already be considered Third Grade Master.
The next moment, the panel blurred:
[Temporarily disabled!]
Fang Yu's lack of understanding of martial arts led him to decide to temporarily shut down his own martial arts tracking system to avoid interfering with his future martial arts studies.
In this world of Demon Martial Arts arts, those who reach the level of Master are barely considered human. With his past knowledge and the coordination of his Divine Thought, he can even grasp the changes in his body.
But now that he's grown a second heart, it's rather strange. His past experience in the Black-Yellow Realm is basically wiped clean. He needs to further understand [Demon Martial Arts] to reassess his body and martial arts progress.
"I knew these publicly available top-tier Cultivation Method were problematic, and they really were!"
These Cultivation Method only describe how to practice, but don't mention that upon reaching the Master, an extra heart will appear, and this heart doesn't look like a human heart. Considering the Demon Beast meat required for this Cultivation Method, "Mystic Armor Elephant Meat," then this newly grown heart is most likely the heart of the "Mystic Armor Elephant."
According to the Cultivation Method, one who has achieved minor success in Organ Training becomes Master, and one who has achieved major success becomes Grandmaster.
What is the Great Completion? It is when all five internal organs have been fully refined.
Judging from the current situation, after the five internal organs are tempered, his body will probably contain the internal organs of five different Demon Beast. At that point, will he still be human?
It definitely can't be considered human anymore; it's probably more like a humanoid Demon Beast.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then took out a large amount of Demon Beast meat and began to eat it in large mouthfuls. The Qi and Blood of these low-level Demon Beast meat were continuously transformed into Primordial Qi by the Yuanchen Pearl, and then transformed into the Qi and Blood of ' Mystic Armor Elephant Meat', continuing to nourish his bloodline, and being constantly absorbed by that small heart.
Soon, after five catties of Demon Beast meat were consumed, the heart stopped absorbing the energy, allowing the Yuanchen Pearl to continue accumulating Primordial Qi.
The Eight Great Aristocratic Clans use different kinds of Demon Beast meat in their Cultivation Method, so the five internal organs that grow after the Organ Training are also different. In fact, they are all about mutating into different Demon Beast. So my previous cultivation was just about physical complementarity.
Now that we've entered the Organ Training stage, if we continue cultivating, will more organs grow, or will they fuse together?
Upon thinking about this, Fang Yu immediately envisioned various scenes of internal organs crammed into his chest cavity, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"We should be cautious about this! For now, practice the other Cultivation Method up to the Fourth Grade, stopping at the Organ Training, to avoid any unfortunate consequences. We'll discuss the rest after I've figured out what to do next."
Fang Yu thought to himself, his mind drifting back to the Savage Wilderness borderlands.
Given enough time, there will be an answer to any situation, and this world of Demon Martial Arts is no exception.
This situation of practicing multiple Cultivation Method simultaneously is certainly not unique to me; the top Aristocratic Clan on the Savage Wilderness borderlands must have experience with it.
Once he reaches the Savage Wilderness border, he should be able to find martial artists who practice multiple Cultivation Method to exchange ideas with.
