31: End of the drill

Shen Xi was filled with emotion.

Meteor Step was merely an Acquired Martial Arts, yet it took him a full twenty years of demon beast lifespan to comprehend it to Perfection.

Moreover, this was with the five-tenths increase from the Tian-Class Room.

If he didn't have the Tian-Class Room, it would have taken him thirty years to Cultivate it to Perfection.

That's thirty years!

How many years does a Martial Artist's lifespan last? It took so long just to comprehend one Acquired Martial Arts.

No wonder many people used low-grade Martial Arts.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but that they couldn't learn it!

Who would be willing to waste so much of their time for an Acquired Martial Arts?

"Fortunately, I have the System. Otherwise, without external help, wanting to master a few Acquired Martial Arts in this life would be a pipe dream."

Shen Xi said with great emotion.

This was still the simplest of the three Martial Arts; the difficulty of both the Indestructible Glazed Body and Purple Flame Eyes was far greater than that of Meteor Step.

"I wonder if the remaining demon beast lifespan is enough."

Shen Xi couldn't be sure.

Killing the giant python gave him over two hundred years of demon beast lifespan, but based on the current situation, this amount of demon beast lifespan might not be enough.

"Continue with the Martial Arts practice."

Shen Xi said.

[Purple Flame Eyes is currently being practiced.]

[Year one, the content of Purple Flame Eyes was too profound for you. It took a whole year to barely understand the content of this Martial Arts.]

[Year three, you devoted yourself entirely to the Cultivation of Purple Flame Eyes, but still couldn't find the threshold.]

[Year eight, you finally touched the threshold of Purple Flame Eyes and initially mastered this Martial Arts.]

[Year twenty, your Purple Flame Eyes finally reached Minor Achievement Realm.]

[Year thirty-five, your Purple Flame Eyes stepped into Major Achievement Realm.]

[Year seventy, while Cultivating Purple Flame Eyes, a flash of inspiration struck, and you finally completely mastered this Martial Arts, stepping into Perfection Realm.]

[This practice consumed seventy years of demon beast lifespan.]

[Remaining demon beast lifespan: one hundred nineteen years.]

Seventy years, and Purple Flame Eyes only reached Perfection.

To say this efficiency was fast would clearly be self-deception.

Shen Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

No wonder most of the powerful Martial Artists were those with money, power, and connections; it was almost impossible for a Martial Artist to emerge from the Outer City slums.

The path of a Martial Artist was truly too difficult!

Seventy years was already the lifespan of most ordinary people.

Yet, such a long period of time was only enough for a Martial Artist to master one Purple Flame Eyes.

Oh, right, he almost forgot, Shen Xi also utilized the five-tenths increase from the Tian-Class Room. Without the Tian-Class Room, the time would have been as high as one hundred five years.

The number of ordinary people who could live that long was It can be said that is negligible.

A lifetime's worth of time, only enough to master one Acquired Martial Arts!

There were only two ways to quickly master a Martial Arts.

First, naturally, was extraordinary talent, reaching the level of a Genius, allowing for quick mastery of Martial Arts.

This was the only possibility for residents of the slums to become Martial Artists.

However, such Geniuses were truly rare, to say one in ten thousand would not be an exaggeration.

Second, was external assistance.

Those wealthy and influential families in the Inner City basically used this method.

Through various Heaven And Earth Treasure, they accelerated their Cultivation speed, increased their Comprehension Ability, and thus rapidly improved their Realm and mastered Martial Arts.

However, this required a large amount of money; just one heavenly spirit stone cost five hundred, not to mention other more precious Materials.

It could be said that most Martial Artists in the Inner City were built with money.

This was also why it was difficult for a humble family to produce a noble son.

Again, fortunately, Shen Xi had the System.

Otherwise, he would be like most ordinary people, stopping at the Blood Refining and Energy Transformation Realm throughout his life, absolutely unable to step into the Yuanqi Realm, let alone master Acquired Martial Arts.

"With one hundred nineteen years of demon beast lifespan remaining, I wonder if it's enough to bring the Indestructible Glazed Body to complete Perfection."

Shen Xi murmured.

The Indestructible Glazed Body was the most difficult of the three Martial Arts to Cultivate; some people spent their entire lives unable to even get started.

Of course, the power of this Martial Arts was also extremely considerable.

If he could Cultivate it to Perfection Realm, then Shen Xi could be said to be invulnerable, able to ignore many attacks.

Furthermore, this Martial Arts, when Cultivated to Perfection, could even rival the power of some Innate Martial Arts.

This made Shen Xi particularly look forward to it.

[Indestructible Glazed Body is currently being practiced.]

[Year ten, you still haven't gotten started.]

[Year twenty, you're almost developing a Heart Demon; the difficulty of the Indestructible Glazed Body is even harder than you imagined.]

[Year thirty, just as you were about to give up, you finally saw a glimmer of hope.]

[Year thirty-three, you pressed on with a single burst of effort, finally stepping into the threshold of the Indestructible Glazed Body, with the Glazed Body initially formed.]

[Year fifty, you could clearly feel your physique strengthening. You knew this was the effect of the Indestructible Glazed Body, but you still couldn't push it to a higher level.]

[Year seventy, you finally Cultivated the Indestructible Glazed Body to Minor Achievement Realm.]

[Year one hundred, you once again fell into self-doubt; the Indestructible Glazed Body had not Broken through for a full thirty years.]

[Year one hundred nineteen, at the very last moment, just as the demon beast lifespan was about to be completely exhausted, you finally Cultivated the Indestructible Glazed Body to Major Achievement Realm.]

[demon beast lifespan is insufficient, practice ended.]

[This practice consumed one hundred nineteen years of demon beast lifespan.]

[Remaining demon beast lifespan: zero.]

As the practice ended, a warm current appeared out of thin air within Shen Xi's body.

This warm current flowed through his internal organs and into various parts of Shen Xi's body.

With the appearance of the warm current, crisp bone collision sounds came from Shen Xi's body, and his physique visibly grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, the changes finally ended.

Shen Xi carefully sensed the changes in his body, and two rays of light burst from his eyes.

His physique had now reached a brand new height; even a Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm expert would now be unable to break through his defense.

This also meant that even if Shen Xi stood still and allowed a powerful enemy at the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm to attack him, he would not suffer the slightest injury.

This was precisely the terrifying aspect of the Indestructible Glazed Body.

It could make Shen Xi Innately invincible.

"This is only at the Major Achievement Realm. If I could Cultivate the Indestructible Glazed Body to Perfection Realm, I estimate I could ignore the attacks of even the Yuan Qi Transformation Realm."

Shen Xi roughly estimated the current strength of his physique.

No wonder the Indestructible Glazed Body was so difficult to Cultivate; its power was indeed considerable.
