Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Tempered Body First Layer, Big Harvest
Black Wind Village.
The leader is dead, the third-in-command is dead, and even if Qin Tian and Lin Dong didn't go, the Lin family members could solve it themselves.
However, charging in headfirst would still result in casualties.
Qin Tian and Lin Dong decided to charge in together. With their cultivation levels, they weren't afraid of the archers and crossbows.
The two split up to act. Facing the dense arrows falling like rain, Qin Tian opened up his gravity domain. A five-meter-wide gravity domain centered on him, with the gravity tripling the normal weight.
As the arrows got closer, they naturally slowed down. Qin Tian, assisted by his shockwave fist, caused the arrows to fall to the ground and shatter into fragments.
Battering ram!
When they reached the large iron gate of the mountain stronghold, Qin Tian activated his skills and charged forward.
The power of the earth turned into a yellow light shield, protecting his body as he collided with the iron gate.
Crack!
With the sound of metal breaking, the massive iron gate was sent flying.
Some bandits who were unprepared behind the gate were crushed to death, their bones shattered, blood splattering, and a bloody path was immediately carved.
Qin Tian took big strides forward, throwing out a Stunning fist. Buzz! The air hummed as all the bandits within a hundred-meter radius collapsed to the ground, knocked unconscious by the shockwave.
At this moment, Lin Dong had also broken through the back door.
The two acted quickly and skillfully, killing their way into the heart of the stronghold.
The second-in-command of Black Dragon Village had just rushed out when he was hit by a brick thrown by the Stone of Jade, instantly turning him into a pile of meat.
The three times gravity sped up the impact, and it fell like a wall of force, instantly killing the second-in-command, who was at the early Heavenly Yuan Realm.
This was Qin Tian true fighting power. Lin Dong, even now, was still much weaker in comparison.
Suddenly, Qin Tian had an idea. Why not ask Lin Dong about the martial arts cultivation methods of this world? He could capture a low-level Yuan Dan Realm bandit and slowly interrogate him.
Without hesitation, Qin Tian punched a mid-Yuan Dan Realm bandit, knocking him unconscious as he attempted to flee.
Like grabbing a chick, he dragged the bandit to the water well, splashed some water on him to wake him up, and began questioning him about the cultivation methods of this world.
The martial arts cultivation system of this world focuses on Tempered Body first, unlocking the potential of the human body. The human body itself is the most mysterious and unpredictable thing in the world, and through different techniques, one can cultivate various systems.
As for Tempered Body Realm, Qin Tian knew he could cultivate it. He couldn't open the dantian sea of qi or sense the qi, but his meridians were completely open.
Given his body condition and innate talent, Tempered Body Realm would enhance his physical strength.
The nine layers of Tempered Body focused on reinforcing the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and marrow, and eventually would create a Yuan Power Seed in the meridians.
The Yuan Power Seed was the only way to break through the dantian barrier.
Just the first three layers of Tempered Body could increase physical strength threefold.
From the fourth layer onward, the body started to undergo transformations: the skin, flesh, bones, and marrow were strengthened. At the fifth layer, the blood and flesh were refined, at the sixth, the bones, the seventh focused on the internal organs, the eighth on the marrow, and the ninth on the meridians.
Soon, Qin Tian learned what he wanted: the Tempered Body Realm involved using various martial arts techniques—fist techniques, leg techniques, sword techniques, knife techniques—to temper the body.
Of course, higher-level techniques weren't always better; the best were the ones that suited the practitioner.
As for the ultimate Tempered Body Realm, the ninth layer that generated the Yuan Power Seed in the meridians to break through the dantian barrier, Qin Tian didn't think about it too much. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
"Brother Qin Tian, what are you doing?"
Lin Dong walked over, curious.
"You're just in time. Kill this guy."
Qin Tian said.
"You… you promised not to kill me!"
The bandit leader pleaded excitedly.
"Yeah, I won't kill you. He's the one who will."
Qin Tian said innocently.
That bandit leader wasn't a good guy either. The people from Black Dragon Village were all evil, doing nothing but bad deeds.
Lin Dong, speechless, slapped the bandit leader, killing him instantly.
"Big brother-in-law, teach me how to temper my body!"
Qin Tian suddenly said.
When Lin Dong heard Qin Tian call him "big brother-in-law" again, he almost couldn't stop himself from turning around and walking away.
However, when he heard Qin Tian second sentence, he couldn't quite understand.
This guy was even stronger than him, yet now he wanted to temper his body? It was a joke.
"Really, I'm not joking or making fun of you. My cultivation system is different from yours, but I can teach you."
Qin Tian said.
Hearing this, Lin Dong felt turmoil in his heart.
He had seen different cultivation systems before, such as the Talisman Master system.
"Are you a Talisman Master?"
Lin Dong asked.
"No, it's another cultivation system you haven't encountered."
Qin Tian replied.
"Then can you show me?"
Lin Dong asked, curious.
"Of course!"
Qin Tian stretched out his right hand, and the brick appeared in his hand.
"Uh!"
Lin Dong was speechless, staring at the object in Qin Tian hand. It was just a brick.
"It looks like a brick, but in fact, it's my Martial Soul. It can also change. Watch."
Qin Tian expression darkened as he thought, and the brick transformed into a Fangtian Huaji.
His brick now had three forms: a brick, a Fangtian Huaji, and a guitar.
As for why it changed, it seemed that this brick was not as simple as it appeared.
It must be a dominant brick.
Lin Dong froze. The Fangtian Huaji was indeed a mighty weapon, intimidating and powerful, looking like a terrifying weapon of war.
"How is it, big brother-in-law? Are you willing to teach me and help me temper my body?"
Qin Tian withdrawn his Martial Soul and walked forward casually.
"You didn't use this Martial Soul when we fought."
Lin Dong said gravely.
"You're too weak. I was afraid I'd accidentally kill you. Think of how sad Qing Tan would be."
Qin Tian said seriously.
Lin Dong: "..."
This guy was so shameless, couldn't he be a bit more tactful?
"Alright, it's a deal."
Lin Dong immediately agreed.
"Then let's hurry up. Find a place, and you can help me get started. I'll check if you have the talent to awaken a Martial Soul."
Qin Tian rushed to say.
Lin Dong glanced at the battle, which was nearly over. After today, there would be no more Black Dragon Village.
He was now very interested in Qin Tian Martial Soul and immediately followed him.
In the pine forest next to Black Dragon Village, Qin Tian was practicing the Tempered Body techniques according to Lin Dong teachings.
It was the Connecting Back Fist, and it was very effective. Every time he practiced the specific movements, he felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, as if something was being unlocked, activated, and triggered.
In just half an hour, under Lin Dong amazed gaze, Qin Tian reached the first layer of the Tempered Body Realm.
Qin Tian closed his eyes and slowly felt it. The effect was even better than he expected. After just completing the first layer, his strength had doubled.
He couldn't even imagine how strong he would become after completing the Tempered Body Realm. How strong would his physique become?
Would he reach the level of a 10,000-year-old Shocking Bear? If so, his fighting power would be enough to punch through the Heavenly Yuan Realm and Yuan Dan Realm with a single strike.
