Top-Class Insight: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 38

Chapter 38

“Organ refinement!”

Lu Changsheng felt somewhat sentimental.

Calculating the time, it had only been about a year and a half since he started practicing martial arts.

He had actually progressed from an ordinary young man to a visceral refinement practitioner.

Visceral refinement was the final stage among the three stages of body forging, and it was a very special one.

According to Lu Changsheng’s understanding, there was no upper limit to visceral refinement.

Yes, there was no upper limit theoretically; it could be continually refined.

The human body’s five viscera and six bowels were among the most delicate and vulnerable organs in the body.

Yet, each one of them was crucial, and any harm to any of them was equivalent to damaging the foundation.

The three stages of body forging, blood strengthening, bone forging, and visceral refinement, were all meant to lay the foundation for advancing to the Divine Power Realm.

The stronger the foundation, the easier it was to advance to the Divine Power Realm.

In the Blood Strengthening Realm, Lu Changsheng had reached the limit of his qi and blood.

In the Bone Forging Realm, Lu Changsheng had forged his bones into unbreakable jade-like bones.

In the Visceral Refinement Realm, theoretically, there was no upper limit. However, the more powerful the five viscera and six bowels, the greater the hope of advancing to the Divine Power Realm.

So, for visceral refinement, Lu Changsheng’s goal was clear: to try every possible method to refine his viscera and bowels as much as possible, and only when further refinement had little effect would he consider breaking through the life and death threshold and advancing to the Divine Power Realm.

This stage was essentially an accumulation stage and could be a very lengthy process.

As time passed day by day, Lu Changsheng had originally planned to leave the ice cave. Still, due to Long Fei’s severe injuries, he decided to stay for an additional half a month to ensure nothing unexpected happened to Long Fei.

On this day, Lu Changsheng had just finished practicing a martial technique.

“Eagle Claw Technique, perfected, Aptitude +3.”

A row of small words appeared before Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

But he wasn’t too surprised.

Half a month was enough for him to perfect many martial techniques.

So, these past few days, almost every day had seen many martial techniques perfected.

However, this time seemed a bit different.

After “Aptitude +3,” it was as if some kind of transformation had begun.

Countless sparks of inspiration were colliding in Lu Changsheng’s mind, sparking even more inspiration.

Lu Changsheng had originally intended to use the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant to refine his viscera and bowels.

However, with the increase in aptitude, his mind became unprecedentedly clear. The previously obscure Nine-Character Thunderous Chant, which had been difficult to understand, now seemed to be instantly understood.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng even vaguely sensed that the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant might not be complete!

Yes, the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant was incomplete.

Furthermore, the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant should not just be an auxiliary technique.

However, Lu Changsheng had no idea that while he was “bursting with inspiration” in his mind, the level of the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant on his attribute panel was visibly increasing.

Originally at the “Proficient” level, it was now rapidly increasing.

Proficient, Intermediate, Advanced…

After who knew how long, Lu Changsheng snapped out of his thoughts.

Before him, another line of small words appeared.

“Nine-Character Thunderous Chant, perfected, Aptitude +8.”

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned.

“The Nine-Character Thunderous Chant is perfected?”

Keep in mind that the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant had only reached proficiency before.

And it had only been half a month.

Lu Changsheng had not comprehended many of the true meanings of the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant.

Not to mention perfection; even reaching the Intermediate level was difficult.

However, now it had directly surpassed Intermediate and Advanced, reaching perfection.

Lu Changsheng immediately checked his attribute panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Aptitude: 408 (Hidden Dragon in the Abyss)

Silk Organ Refinement Technique: Second Layer

Nine-Character Thunderous Chant: Perfected (Incomplete)

Lu Changsheng’s first glance fell on the fact that his aptitude had become 408 points. Moreover, the evaluation of his aptitude had changed from “Quite Potent” to “Hidden Dragon in the Abyss.”

“Hidden Dragon in the Abyss, a dragon hidden in shallow waters… This means my aptitude is quite outstanding now.”

“However, I wonder how many aptitude points the next transformation will require, could it be a thousand?”

Lu Changsheng seemed to have a realization.

He could vaguely feel that the next transformation of his aptitude might require an astonishing number of aptitude points.

And the next transformation might be crucial.

Each time his aptitude transformed, Lu Changsheng reaped enormous benefits.

This time was no exception.

With an aptitude of over four hundred points, the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant had instantly reached perfection.

“Wait a moment, why is there an ‘Incomplete’ after ‘perfected’ for the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant?”

“Could it be that the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant is truly incomplete?”

Lu Changsheng had previously felt that the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant was incomplete after his aptitude transformation, and now, the attribute panel seemed to confirm his speculation.

However, even if it was an incomplete Nine-Character Thunderous Chant, it was still an eighth-grade martial art.

If it were a complete Nine-Character Thunderous Chant, how terrifying would it be?

“Let’s test its effects.”

Lu Changsheng began to refine his viscera and bowels, simultaneously turning his blood into silk threads using the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant.

“Prepare!”

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng shouted.

The Nine-Character Thunderous Chant instantly acted on his internal viscera and bowels.

“Hum.”

Immediately, his internal viscera and bowels vibrated.

Furthermore, with the cooperation of the Silk Organ Refinement Technique, Lu Changsheng could even clearly feel his internal viscera and bowels subtly strengthening.

The effect was incredibly strong, beyond belief.

Lu Changsheng even felt that the perfected Nine-Character Thunderous Chant could rival top-tier organ refinement martial arts in terms of effectiveness.

“Whew…”

Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh.

With the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant perfected, his efficiency in refining his viscera and bowels had suddenly skyrocketed.

This was a good thing!

Lu Changsheng looked at Long Fei.

After half a month of recuperation, Long Fei’s injuries had improved somewhat.

Although he still needed more rest, there was no longer any danger.

Lu Changsheng calculated the time and realized that he had been away from Miao Shou Garden for two months now. His master was probably getting anxious.

After all, he had initially planned to go out for only one month, but he had ended up spending twice that time.

So, Lu Changsheng walked up to Long Fei and said directly, “Brother Long, this place is rarely visited by people. Although it’s a bit cold, it’s a good place for recuperation without worrying about disturbances.”

“You can continue to recover here. However, I’ve been away for a long time, so I’m preparing to bid farewell and return.”

Long Fei also clasped his hands and said, “Brother Lu, you’ve saved my life multiple times, and I can’t repay your kindness.”

“This stone tablet was something I stumbled upon during my time in the northern regions. It records a miraculous technique called ‘Dragon God Transformation,’ but it requires reaching the Divine Power Realm to practice.”

“I know that reaching the Divine Power Realm is beyond my reach, but Brother Lu has boundless potential and a chance to achieve it in the future. So, I’m giving you this stone tablet, hoping it can be of help to you.”

“And Brother Lu, there’s no need to feel guilty. I’ve already memorized the technique on the stone tablet by heart, so I’ll copy it for myself when I return.”

Long Fei took out a small stone tablet from his chest.

Although it was called a stone tablet, it was actually only slightly larger than a palm. It was made of some unknown material, thin and hard, and couldn’t be easily damaged.

Curiously, Lu Changsheng took the stone tablet and saw many tiny characters carved on it. However, the number of characters was not large, and Lu Changsheng finished reading them in a short time.

After reading it, Lu Changsheng’s eyes revealed astonishment.

“Dragon God Transformation,” a technique that could only be practiced in the Divine Power Realm!

The Dragon God Transformation had three stages: the first stage could amplify the physical body by thirty percent, the second stage could double it, and the third stage could triple it.

Seeing the description of the Dragon God Transformation, Lu Changsheng was deeply shocked!

It was truly deserving of being called a secret technique!

Moreover, this was a Divine Power Realm secret technique, truly extraordinary.

Currently, Lu Changsheng had only obtained one technique, the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant, even though it was just a martial art for body forging, its effects were already quite miraculous.

Not to mention that the Dragon God Transformation was a secret technique of the Divine Power Realm, and its effects were even more extraordinary.

Even though Lu Changsheng hadn’t reached the Divine Power Realm, he could see that the Dragon God Transformation was truly remarkable and a rare find.

Lu Changsheng didn’t refuse and directly accepted the stone tablet.

Although he might not be able to use this Divine Power Realm secret technique now, there might be a time when he could use it in the future after achieving the Divine Power Realm.

“Thank you for your gift of this technique, Brother Long.”

Lu Changsheng expressed his gratitude with a bow.

“Such a technique is nothing compared to the life-saving grace of Brother Lu.”

“If Brother Lu has any tasks in the future, I, Long Mou, will not hesitate to face any danger!”

This was Long Fei’s promise!

People like Long Fei would not easily make promises, but once they did, they would not break them.

“Brother Long, your words are too heavy.”

“If fate allows us to meet again in the martial world!”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much.

People in the martial world didn’t need too many formalities.

As a result, Lu Changsheng left behind some supplies and then quickly left the cave, disappearing into the snowstorm.

Liu Hongluan and Long Fei looked at each other, and Liu Hongluan said softly, “Big Brother Fei, this Brother Lu is truly an extraordinary person.”

“Yes, Brother Lu doesn’t care about fame or wealth, he’s wholeheartedly focused on martial arts. Given time, he will surely become renowned in the martial world!”

“Perhaps only people like Brother Lu can achieve the pinnacle of martial arts.”

Long Fei sighed.

He was the “Kill Lu Dao,” despising evil, and had some reputation in the martial world.

However, he knew that reaching the Divine Power Realm was beyond his reach.

What he truly envied was people like Lu Changsheng, who had the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

When the two turned their heads to look into the distance again, the figure had disappeared into the wind and snow…
