Don't Mess with That Dragon

One day later.

Hua la la!

Li Weifeng sat cross-legged on the bed, with his blood and flesh surging like a torrent, producing the sound of water splashing.

Crimson-colored steam faintly seeped out from his skin, tinting his whole body in deep red.

In the next moment,

Li Weifeng suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash like lightning swept through the bedroom, releasing a sharp energy like sword light.

"Success!"

Stretching out his palm, he felt the higher level of power within himself, and a trace of joy emerged in his heart.

"Is this a Bone Tempering..."

Feeling his whole body’s bones becoming tighter and harder after a Bone Tempering.

Also, his Qi and Blood had been enhanced.

Originally, during the quasi-martial artist stage, Qi and Blood reached a limit at 149 calories, unable to increase no matter how it was tempered.

But now, through a full body Bone Tempering, that limit was broken.

He wasn’t sure how much Qi and Blood he currently had, but it was at least above 160 calories!

Bones are the source of blood.

Tempering the bones with Qi and Blood can improve the foundation of Qi and Blood, which makes sense.

"By relying on my High Tier Spiritual Power, I absorbed more than ninety percent of the medicinal power from the elixir and the Qi and Blood used for bone tempering, but the resources consumed just for the first bone tempering were over 300,000, as for those whose utilization rate is less than ten percent, their consumption is likely even higher!"

Calculating his one day seclusion costs, Li Weifeng felt a chill in his heart.

No wonder, according to Chen Yong, only a few martial artists nationwide manage to complete one, two, or three bone temperings before breaking through to become an Official Martial Artist, the resource cost is truly too high.

Especially for martial artists of Low Grade, it’s tremendously large.

Moreover, having resources doesn’t necessarily grant Bone Tempering, as the difficulty level is very high.

Li Weifeng was able to complete a Bone Tempering in one day and night due to his powerful Spiritual Power, allowing precise control over Qi and Blood.

His case is fundamentally non-replicable.

"Unfortunately, the elixir resources are used up."

Looking at the empty elixir bottle, Li Weifeng sighed helplessly.

Now, even if he sold his whole body, he likely couldn’t afford a single Qi Blood Pill, to improve he could only hope to officially enter the martial artist ranks and see if there are cultivation resources available.

"There are still two days before Uncle Chen arrives, can’t waste these two days!"

Although unable to cultivate and enhance Qi and Blood, he could still train other combat techniques.

Even within the martial artist ranks, despite greater opportunities, Li Weifeng realized through recent encounters, higher positions equate to greater risks.

Improving his strength is inevitable.

But, how should he improve?

The basic techniques left by his body’s father, Basic Boxing Technique, Nine Stance Techniques, Basic Leg Techniques, have almost been learned.

He also went through Basic Knife Technique and elementary knife techniques, but without a decent knife, the knife technique’s effect was less effective than barehanded.

To enhance his strength, he could only learn advanced content.

After contemplating for a moment, an idea floated through Li Weifeng’s mind.

Perhaps he could find Chen Yong.

He opened his phone and messaged Chen Yong on QQ.

"Brother Chen, I’ve faced difficulties while learning some combat techniques recently, can you send me some publicly available materials from Martial Science University?"

Without saying much else, Li Weifeng directly stated his intent.

Soon, accompanied by a notification sound, Chen Yong’s profile picture shuffled.

"No problem, I recently missed some classes due to an external practical assignment, so I got some video materials for review. I’ll send you a copy."

"Thanks, Brother Chen."

"You’re welcome, but Li, watch these materials yourself and don’t spread them around."

"Understood, you can rest assured, Brother Chen."

Soon, several gigabytes of video files were sent over.

Luckily, Li Weifeng’s house had an old desktop computer, and the room was wired with the internet.

So, he quickly opened the computer, logged into QQ, and started downloading the video files.

In about ten to twenty minutes, the videos were downloaded.

"Basic Boxing Technique Cultivation Video"

"Pile Foundation Cultivation"

"Combat Knife Technique Specialization"

"Summary of Common Problems"

...

The files contained over ten videos, ranging from basic to more advanced content.

These were cultivation materials not available on the internet.

For Chen Yong, it might be a small favor, but for Li Weifeng, it was a tremendous help indeed.

Li Weifeng quickly opened them, watching the content within.

The videos featured a teacher from Martial Science University aged around forty. Li Weifeng didn’t know him, but his explanation was indeed good, step by step, gradually making it easier to understand.

Unconsciously, several hours blinked by.

After watching each video, Li Weifeng pondered for a long time, gaining much insight.

"It turns out, during battles, one needs to consume Qi and Blood to unleash greater destructive power..."

He thoughtfully nodded, gaining an understanding in his heart.

If Qi and Blood isn’t consumed, it’s merely pure power attacks, whereas techniques that burst with Qi and Blood are true killing moves.

Just like yesterday facing that cult youth, Li Weifeng’s Straight Punch lacked Qi and Blood, so the damage simply pushed him back after being hit.

But once his Straight Punch carries Qi and Blood Power, the explosive force can negate the opponent’s Qi and Blood defense, causing greater damage.

This was an enlightening revelation for Li Weifeng.

Besides, he gained much from the videos regarding other fundamental cultivation subjects.

"No wonder Magic Martial University’s teachers are so exceptional."

Li Weifeng couldn’t help but admire, indeed one of the top Martial Arts Academies in Hua Country, its educational prowess is truly strong.

He spent the whole night working hard,

Li Weifeng thoroughly digested and understood most of the video content, transforming them into his own growth nutrients.

Meanwhile, having learned the techniques, he used Qi Blood transport to perform techniques that could attach Qi and Blood Energy.

The contained Qi and Blood was modest, just around 5 calories of Qi and Blood Power, but for this stage of a quasi-martial artist, it’s already incredible.

His strength advanced again, by more than several degrees!

"If First Grade Martial Artists are on par with that cult youth the other day, then with my current strength, among First Grade Martial Artists, there are hardly any who can beat me."
