Chapter 38: Limit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Another day passed.

Tan Fei and the Visceral Tempering martial artists from the other three dojos had just returned with the martial artists from the four dojos.

He also brought back most of the goods and merchant caravan members.

Many of them were injured and looked like they had just fought an intense battle.

In fact, several Bone Forging martial artists had died, and one person from the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo was lost in the forest for good.

It was said that this time, the four dojos had joined forces and fought several battles with the Plum Mountain Bandits in the forest, causing mutual damage.

The Plum Mountain Bandits suffered even greater losses. Even one of their leaders had been killed.

If it was in the past, both sides would take a step back and shake hands.

This time, for some reason, the Plum Mountain Bandits had no intention of backing down.

The four dojos could only wait and see which one of them would cave in first.

…

After returning to the city, Zhou You went back to his usual daily activities.

It might seem boring to outsiders, but he enjoyed it.

He was valued, respected, had freedom, and could clearly feel his strength increase every day… All of this made him extremely intoxicated.

After breaking through to the first level of the Golden Swallow Technique, Zhou You temporarily stopped cultivating the Golden Swallow Technique and began to practice the Ferocious Tiger Fist with all his might.

He wanted to complete the Tendon Transformation and enter the Bone Forging realm in a month or so before he left the city.

He cultivated for six hours every day. With his current 7 Affinity, it was enough to complete his goal.

In addition, he could also take two hours every day to cultivate basic martial arts and obtain Martial Arts Points to increase his Affinity.

As his strength increased, Zhou You realized that the speed at which he cultivated basic martial arts was getting faster and faster.

Especially after the Iron Skin Technique was cultivated to Perfection, his speed increased by a large margin.

In just ten days, Zhou You had cultivated the Gale Kick Technique to Perfection.

Affinity: 8.

He used another seven days to cultivate the Mountain Splitting Palm to Perfection.

Affinity: 9.

He used another five days to cultivate the Mantis Fist to Perfection.

Affinity: 10.

He used another three days to perfect the Strength Fist.

Then… Zhou You suddenly realized that he did not obtain any Martial Arts Points!

After thinking about it again and again, Zhou You felt that the reason why he could not obtain Martial Arts Points was because his body was already strong enough. When he practiced basic martial arts diligently, he was no longer able to obtain any substantial improvement.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. There were tens of millions of basic martial arts in the world. If Master Lu wanted, considering his level of martial arts, he could create a large number of basic martial arts with a little effort.

After breaking through a few more realms, Zhou You could create his own basic martial arts as well.

Wouldn’t that be endless Martial Arts Points?

How was this possible?

After understanding this, Zhou You was not disappointed.

In 25 days, he had mastered three basic martial arts, and his strength had increased by more than 100 kilograms.

Even without using the explosive power of his large tendon, his basic strength was already as high as 1,500 kilograms.

He had surpassed an ordinary early Bone Forging martial artist.

Zhou You was not arrogant because Master Lu had told him about Lin Yu’s situation some time ago.

Lin Yu had just entered the Bone Forging stage, and his strength had already exceeded 2,500 kilograms. Coupled with his innate divine strength physique, after reaching the Greater Mastery Stage of Tendon Transformation, he naturally grasped a secret skill.

When he unleashed his full strength, his strength exceeded 5,000 kilograms.

With his Early-stage Bone Forging Stage martial arts, he suppressed the Late-stage Bone Forging martial artists of the Iron Skin Dojo.

Du Lianzong boasted in private that within this year, Lin Yu would become the number one expert in the Bone Forging realm in Mengyang City.

His innate divine strength physique was not only powerful, but he could also easily master the two secret skills of the great tendon and spine, crushing martial artists of the same realm.

Although the halo gradually faded, the strong foundation laid by the Body Forging and Bone Forging realms could still ensure that they were stronger than ordinary martial artists and broke through faster.

What Lu Chuanfeng meant was that Zhou You shouldn’t even think about competing with Lin Yu in the Bone Forging realm.

He had to lay a good foundation. After the Purification Stage, he would compete in the Visceral Tempering Stage.

He became more and more confident in Zhou You.

When he discovered that cultivating basic martial arts could continuously increase his strength, Zhou You could not believe it. He wanted to continuously stack basic martial arts to see if he could reach or even surpass Lin Yu.

But now, cultivating basic martial arts was no longer effective, which meant that his plan to stack them had failed.

Lin Yu’s innate divine strength was indeed worthy of being a special physique.

He was just an ordinary person and could not compare.

After settling down, Zhou You began to cultivate the Ferocious Tiger Fist with all his might.

…

Ten days later.

The sky was slightly bright.

Zhou You stopped and stood still. He spat out a mouthful of white gas that reached a meter away and lingered for a long time.

He opened the interface with a thought.

Name: Zhou You

Affinity: 10

Aptitude: Ferocious Tiger Fist (37%)

Iron Skin (55%)

Golden Swallow Technique (40%)

…

Comprehension: 100%

Martial Arts: Ferocious Tiger Fist (Level 4) (0/2000)

Iron Skin Technique (Level 1) (0/1000)

Golden Swallow Technique (Level 1) (0/500)

…

Secret Skill: Explosion (Ferocious Tiger Fist)

Martial Arts Points: 1

The basic martial arts had all been folded. He could check it by clicking on the ellipsis.

Zhou You glanced at the interface, his eyes gradually becoming pleasantly surprised.

It was no surprise that the Ferocious Tiger Fist had broken through to the fourth level and entered the Bone Forging realm.

What surprised him was that the Iron Skin Technique automatically entered the first level!

Was this the threshold to cultivate the subsequent internal force cultivation techniques of the Iron Skin Technique?

Was this threshold an Affinity of 10?

He focused his attention on the Iron Skin Technique, and the cultivation method for the first level of the Iron Skin Technique automatically unfolded.

Zhou You read it once and completely understood the key points.

The first level of the Iron Skin Technique still cultivated the skin membrane, but it used internal force to stimulate the skin membrane from the inside out, forming a new skin membrane and shedding old dead skin.

The first level was also known as molting.

Zhou You looked at his skin. Although it was not smooth, it was not dead skin.

Apothecaries needed both hands to be sensitive and nimble, so he had been protecting them well.

How was he going to shed his skin?

Zhou You looked puzzled and were about to try cultivating.

Suddenly, his eyes moved.

Something seemed to be different on the interface!

He looked at the bottom and was not surprised to see a secret skill column.

Zhou You had long felt that after cultivating to each stage, he would reach the limit of his current body. It was only natural for him to develop secret skills.

The secret skill was too powerful. To test its power, he had to find another place.

1 Martial Arts Point was a little unexpected, but after thinking about it carefully, it was very normal.

Breaking through to the Bone Forging realm was a major breakthrough. Logically speaking, he should be able to obtain Martial Arts Points.

However, it was only one point. Zhou You was a little disappointed.

If it was before, Zhou You would have added Martial Arts Points to his Affinity without hesitation.

However, his Affinity had already reached 10. With another 1 point, his cultivation speed would increase by 10%.

He planned to follow his original plan and try to increase his Aptitude.

He wanted to see what happened after increasing his Aptitude.

His gaze landed on the Aptitude column, and his gaze suddenly froze.

The Aptitude of the Ferocious Tiger Fist, no, the Aptitude of all martial arts, had actually increased by a huge margin!

Other than summoning the courage in his heart that one time, the Aptitude of the Ferocious Tiger Fist had not changed.

After a long time, Zhou You subconsciously ignored the Aptitude column.

Only now did he realize that after completing the Body Refining Stage, his Aptitude would actually increase!

The Ferocious Tiger Fist had increased by 15%.

It was equivalent to his cultivation speed increasing by nearly 70%!

His other martial arts had also improved significantly.

At this moment, Zhou You felt a little regretful.

Why didn’t he add more points to his Aptitude earlier? If adding points could have such a good effect… if he had added points to his Aptitude from the beginning, then now…

No, he had to increase his Affinity to at least 2 before it was worth it…

That was not right either. The increase in Aptitude could only increase for one martial art. If he increased the Tiger Fist, the cultivation speed of other martial arts would be greatly reduced. He might not be able to obtain so many Martial Arts Points.

According to the pattern of the later stages, the effect of adding points would become worse.

After adding some Aptitude, the compatibility of the Ferocious Tiger Fist would definitely decrease greatly.

In that case, it was still unknown if it would be of any substantial use in the end.
