199: Chapter 199 Four Hours - 1 AM!

One of the core Profound Truths of the Blood Refining Chapter of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear' is to use Spear Techniques to stir up blood and Qi.

It vibrates and scours the blood vessels and meridians throughout the body at a special frequency.

Thereby achieving the effects of deep blood tempering and rapid expulsion of Impurities!

Qin Yan practiced with increasing immersion and growing exhilaration!

He could clearly feel that as the black Impurities were expelled,

his body became progressively 'lighter', and the flow of his blood and Qi became increasingly 'smoother'.

The blood itself also seemed to become more 'pure'!

That sensation was like shedding heavy shackles; his entire being, from the inside out, was experiencing a rebirth!

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"Hum—"

The long spear emitted a clear, melodious tremor as Qin Yan completed the final closing movement of his stance, standing steadily.

He let out a long breath of turbid air, which actually carried a faint, grayish-black tint.

Simultaneously, he felt his entire body sticky and grimy.

Looking down, he saw a layer of greasy, black filth covering his skin, now emitting a pungent, foul stench.

He wrinkled his nose; the smell was truly unbearable.

Immediately setting down the long spear, he rushed out of the training room and headed straight for the bathroom on the second floor.

Warm water cascaded down, washing away the filth covering his body.

When Qin Yan dried off and stood before the mirror, he felt refreshed and clear-headed, his hearing sharp and his vision keen, as if a thousand-pound weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

In his every movement, he felt his body was more agile, the flow of his power smoother, and his control over himself seemed to have become slightly more refined.

"Is this the feeling of the Third Grade Blood Refining Realm..."

Qin Yan clenched his fist, feeling the livelier, more powerful surge of blood within him, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan promptly opened his panel to check.

[Rank: third grade early stage]

[Blood Refining: Blood Purification Realm]

[Blood and Qi: 765 Cal]

[spirit: 73 Hz]

[Martial Skill: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Blood Refining Chapter Second Revolution (68%)]

[Spear Technique: fourth stage (27%)]

[Dao of Alchemy: First-Grade Alchemist (34%)]

(Second-Grade Alchemist: Unlocks at 70 Hz Mental Energy)

[Skill Points: 0 points]

[Note: As long as you work hard, you will reap rewards]

"765 Cal of blood and Qi!"

Qin Yan's face lit up with joy.

Successfully Breaking Through to the third grade, his blood and Qi had increased by the standard 100 Cal from the 665 Cal limit, reaching 765 Cal!

This starting point already far surpassed that of the vast majority of Third-Rank Martial Artists.

But when he saw the progress of the Blood Refining Chapter of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear' — Second Revolution 68% — his brow couldn't help but furrow slightly.

"212 Skill Points only advanced the Blood Refining Chapter to 68% of the Second Revolution? This consumption... is a bit too high."

This consumption was much greater than he had anticipated.

But upon second thought, Qin Yan felt relieved again.

The Blood Refining Realm, as the last major Realm for low-grade Martial Artists,

is not only the stage with the greatest increase in blood and Qi but also a critical period for the body's transition from 'mortal' to 'supernatural'.

Its Cultivation difficulty and the required resources and insights naturally far exceed those of the previous two Realms.

"Moreover, I recall hearing from the teacher."

Qin Yan recalled the content from the theory class.

"If one can reach the theoretical limit in all three low-grade Realms, it might even trigger some mysterious mechanism deep within the human body.

Unlocking the body's Treasure Trove and comprehending one's own unique 'Body Tempering Technique'!"

What is a Body Tempering Technique?

That instructor hadn't elaborated, only saying it was incredibly profound, capable of more efficiently and deeply unlocking the body's potential.

Even... it would provide immeasurable assistance for future Breakthroughs to the Grandmaster Realm, significantly increasing the success rate!

Just the point of 'increasing the probability of breaking through to Grandmaster' alone made its value inestimable!

Thinking of this, Qin Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

He had reached the first grade limit!

He had also reached the Second Grade limit!

He was confident there was no problem reaching the Third Grade Limit!

"The road must be walked step by step."

Qin Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, his eyes regaining clarity.

He still had a rather long journey ahead before reaching the Third Grade Limit.

The Blood Refining Chapter was only at the Second Revolution; there were still seven Revolutions to go, each requiring more Skill Points.

"Can't slack off!"

He took a deep breath, picked up the long spear again, and began training.

Having successfully Broken Through to the Third Grade Blood Refining Realm, one of the things Qin Yan was most eager to verify was the change in Skill Points brought about by this new Realm.

Gripping the long spear in his hand, he felt his energy was so abundant it seemed inexhaustible.

Previously, at the Second Rank, he could only train at high intensity for twelve hours a day.

Now, with just a slight stretch of his limbs, he felt a surge of vitality welling up from the depths of his Bloodline, dispelling the last trace of fatigue.

The purified blood flowed actively within him, seemingly possessing a gentle nourishing and restorative power of its own, driving away weariness.

"With my current physique... could I try extending my daily training time to sixteen hours?"

Qin Yan calculated in his mind.

He remembered it being mentioned in theory class that as Martial Artists rise in Rank, especially after stepping into the Medium Grade, their dependence on sleep decreases significantly.

Many powerful individuals even replace sleep year-round with True Qi circulation and Cultivation Technique practice, nearly achieving 'sleepless' Cultivation.

Yet they can still maintain high energy levels.

Although he was only at the third grade now, his energy had also increased compared to when he was at the Second Rank!

Spear shadows multiplied, sweat flew.

Time quietly slipped away in focused Cultivation.

It continued until late at night, moonlight casting its clear radiance through the training room's skylight.

Qin Yan finally slowly retracted his spear and let out a long sigh.

Twelve consecutive hours of high-intensity training had indeed left his body feeling fatigued and his spirit somewhat depleted, but he was far from reaching his limit.

"It seems sixteen hours... is indeed feasible!"

A glint of joy flashed in Qin Yan's eyes.

This meant the 'effective time' he could use daily to enhance his strength would greatly increase from now on.

Afterwards, Qin Yan habitually called up his panel to check today's gains from hard training — Skill Points.

When his gaze fell on that number, Qin Yan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and then a look of joy quickly spread across his face!

[Skill Points: 30 points]

Thirty points!

Gained merely from today's twelve hours of training!

Twelve hours yielded thirty points, averaging out to exactly ten Skill Points every four hours!

When he was still a Second-Rank Martial Artist, with the same training intensity, he could only gain an average of four Skill Points every four hours!

Efficiency had increased by a full 2.5 times!

This meant his Cultivation speed in the third grade Realm would continue to maintain an extremely rapid pace of improvement!

Without hesitation, he poured all 30 of the newly acquired Skill Points into the progress bar of the Blood Refining Chapter of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear'.

Instantly, the progress of the Blood Refining Chapter quietly jumped from the previous 68% to 84%!

It was already not far from completing the Second Revolution and stepping into the Third.

In the days that followed, Qin Yan fully entered a mode of frenzied Cultivation.

He boldly increased his daily training duration to sixteen hours.
