110: Chapter 11 is light and easy!

Immediately, his thoughts shifted once more!

"Hummm—"

A layer of dense, pale golden light membrane instantly manifested on the surface of his body!

This was precisely the protective light membrane brought about by mastering the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear!

The Silver Skin is the foundation, the internal qualitative change;

While this light membrane is the external manifestation of the martial technique, an active defense!

The long spear, carrying that pale golden spear energy, once again stabbed at the arm covered in the golden light membrane!

"Clang!"

A clear sound of metal clashing rang out!

This time, that spear energy which could originally breach the pale golden defense was actually blocked!

"Huh?" Qin Yan let out a sound of surprise.

"Could it be that because the body tempering martial technique has been cultivated to the Perfection Realm, the defensive power of this protective light membrane has also risen accordingly, receiving further enhancement?"

He immediately made a reasonable guess in his heart.

He conducted several more tests afterward and finally confirmed.

Under the dual protection of Silver Skin and the enhanced pale golden light membrane.

He could withstand two consecutive spear energy attacks without sustaining damage!

Many attacks landing on him would first have most of their power weakened by the protective light membrane.

Then be further neutralized by the formidable toughness of the Silver Skin itself.

In the end, the damage truly affecting his body was minimal!

"This advantage is too great!"

A sharp light flashed in Qin Yan's eyes, "In a clash of the same qi and blood intensity, one spear from me might injure the opponent.

But when the opponent slashes with a sword, it has to pass through my protective light membrane and Silver Skin for two layers of weakening.

The actual damage caused is naturally much smaller.

With one waning and the other waxing, the side with powerful defense undoubtedly holds a huge advantage!"

"Tomorrow, I'll go challenge the Secret Realm Tower!"

Qin Yan clenched his fist.

His current martial arts realm had already reached the limit of a First-rank Martial Artist!

It was time to test how far this limit-breaking strength could go within the mysterious Secret Realm Tower!

Thinking of this, he summoned his status panel to check his current state:

【Name: Qin Yan】

【Level: First-rank Martial Artist Limit】

【Tempered Skin: Nine Times (Silver Skin Realm)】

【Qi and Blood: 20 Ka】

【spirit: 52 He】

【Martial Technique: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Skin & Flesh Chapter (Perfection)】

【Spear Art: Third Stage (61%)】

【Alchemy: First-rank Alchemist (34%)】

(Second-rank Alchemist: Unlocks at 7 He spirit Power)

【Skill Points: Points】

【Note: As long as you work hard, you will gain】

Ever since the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Skin & Flesh Chapter reached Perfection.

He had invested all the Skill Points gained from daily training into improving his Spear Art skill.

Coupled with taking a serving of qingxin tea to aid his insights in seeking a breakthrough.

He finally, not long ago, broke through the progress of his Spear Art skill to 61%!

61% progress marked that his Spear Art skill had officially stepped into the high-tier of the Third Stage!

"With my current Silver Skin Realm foundation, peak 20 Ka qi and blood, Perfection-level body tempering martial technique.

Plus high-tier Third Stage spear art...

My comprehensive combat power should be enough to fight that White Figure on the tenth floor head-on!" Battle intent burned fiercely in Qin Yan's eyes.

...

January 23rd, early morning.

Today happened to be a rest day, with no classes scheduled for the morning.

Qin Yan got up very early, full of energy, and went straight to that towering, mysterious Secret Realm Tower!

Arriving before the tower, the ancient, mottled surface of the tower body with its profound patterns lit up slightly.

An invisible, gentle wave silently swept over Qin Yan's body.

The next moment, a familiar, slight dizziness came over him.

When Qin Yan's vision regained clarity.

He was once again in that familiar sealed space—the Secret Realm Tower, Eighth Floor!

The Secret Realm Tower had a challenge record function; wherever he failed last time, he would start directly from that floor next time.

Almost the instant his figure solidified, the energy-constructed White Figure opposite activated!

Without any hesitation, two dense white fist energies coiled around its fist.

With a sharp whistle tearing through the air, it blasted towards Qin Yan's face like a cannonball!

Before, facing this strike, Qin Yan would have had to be on high alert, responding with full strength.

But now—

Qin Yan looked at the rapidly enlarging fist, a trace of nonchalance flashing in his eyes.

He didn't even make any blocking or dodging movements, merely shifting his thoughts slightly!

"Hum!"

A layer of dense, pale golden protective light membrane instantly covered his entire body!

And beneath the light membrane, on the skin's surface, that restrained and mysterious silver luster also quietly circulated.

Just like this, without dodging or avoiding, he intended to use his body to directly receive the full-force strike of the Eighth Floor guardian!

"CLANG——!!!"

That fist, containing two layers of fist energy, capable of shattering stone tablets and splitting rocks.

Solidly smashed onto Qin Yan's chest!

The fist energy successfully tore through the outermost pale golden light membrane.

But when the residual fist energy touched the circulating Silver Skin of the inner layer, it was like a spent arrow.

All its destructive power was easily dispersed by the extremely resilient Silver Skin, unable to advance a single step further!

Qin Yan didn't even retreat half a step, his stance steady as a rock.

He lowered his head to look at his chest, then raised his eyes to look at the White Figure that seemed to have 'frozen' for an instant due to the ineffective attack, and boredly yawned.

"Clang clang clang clang—!"

The White Figure clearly had no 'intelligence' to ponder why the attack was ineffective.

It merely followed its combat instincts, swinging its fists even more frenziedly.

Like a violent storm, they smashed onto Qin Yan's body, arms, back...

For a moment, the entire space echoed with the dense sounds of metal clashing.

Qin Yan stood quietly just like this, letting the other party attack.

Taking this opportunity to thoroughly familiarize himself with and master the strength of his own dual defense.

Until he felt the testing was sufficient and grew tired of the other's futile performance.

"It's time to end this."

He spoke lightly, then raised the pitch-black long spear in his hand, seemingly casually thrusting it forward!

The spear shot out like a dragon, fast as lightning!

"Pfft!"

The White Figure had no time to react at all before its body was precisely pierced by the long spear.

Instantly bursting apart into a sky full of pure energy light points, slowly dissipating.

Instant kill!

With a flash of light, the scene before Qin Yan changed again, and he had arrived at the Ninth Floor!

Here, guarding it was precisely that White Figure possessing the Silver Skin Realm, 20 Ka qi and blood, and high-tier Third Stage Martial Arts Skill!

This was the very Ninth Floor guardian that, at the beginning of the month, had obstructed Lu Youyou.

The one that made her swing her hammer until it nearly smoked, yet she still couldn't defeat!

The moment the White Figure appeared, its icy 'gaze' locked onto Qin Yan.

Without any words, its figure transformed into a silver streak of light.

Carrying terrifying momentum capable of collapsing mountains and splitting rocks, it brazenly charged forward!

Facing this formidable enemy that had once made Lu Youyou return in defeat, Qin Yan's eyes focused, deciding to hold back no longer.
