180: Improve, train your body! Level 4 peak warrior!

(My apologies to all dear readers. I've been staying up late coding every day, and my body couldn't handle it. I had a fever yesterday, went to the hospital for an IV drip, and only just recovered after sleeping until now. That's why the upload is late. I will update on time every day from now on! Please feel free to continue reading, dear readers!)

The originally whole rhomboid crystal, the moment Li Ziyu touched it, instantly transformed into specks of fluorescent light, like sand blown by the wind.

The fluorescent lights gathered in the air to form a seven-colored long river, enveloping Li Ziyu's entire body.

Then, before Li Ziyu could even react, it vanished into his skin in an instant.

"What's going on?"

"What was that just now? It seems like nothing has changed with my body?"

Li Ziyu raised his hand to look, surprised.

However, before he could question it, he felt a surge of magma-like heat erupt from his chest.

Then, his internal organs began to become scorching hot.

His internal organs felt as if they were being boiled in magma, and the scorching high temperature made Li Ziyu involuntarily let out a roar.

However, Li Ziyu did not panic too much in the face of this change.

He had experienced this situation more than once or twice. This magma-like boiling sensation was caused by the rate of qi and blood improvement exceeding the body's tolerance limit.

In other words, his qi and blood were increasing, and his body was breaking through!

Thus, another quarter of an hour passed.

The scorching heat disappeared, and an indescribable coolness surged through Li Ziyu's entire body.

It was particularly noticeable in his internal organs.

Li Ziyu stood up and involuntarily let out a long breath.

Hiss!

A stream of white air shot out from his nostrils, and two half-meter deep pits immediately appeared on the ground.

Li Ziyu stared at the large pits on the ground, stunned.

"Exhaling into a sword? I've refined my organs?!"

Third-Level Martial Artist refine bones.

Grade 4 Martial Artist refine organs.

Level 5 Martial Artist change blood.

After he entered Grade 4 Martial Artist, he came directly to this Martial Saint Secret Realm and had not yet had the opportunity to train his internal organs.

He never expected that a single crystal just now would allow him to successfully refine his organs.

Moreover, it was a perfect organ refinement!

Exhaling to stir the surrounding airflow is a low-grade organ refinement.

Exhaling to penetrate a leaf is a mid-grade organ refinement.

Exhaling to penetrate wood is a high-grade organ refinement.

And exhaling to create a small pit on a stone slab is a perfect-level organ refinement.

"A perfect-level organ refinement can only create a small pit on a stone slab, but with one breath, I can make a half-meter pit in a hard asphalt slab. A perfect-level organ refinement doesn't have my power!"

"Could it be that, like bone tempering, mine is above the perfect level?"

Li Ziyu then exhaled several more times in succession, creating several large pits on the ground, his eyes gleaming with unusual brilliance.

No matter how strong the strength, it needs the support of qi and blood, and qi and blood must be maintained by the internal organs to operate continuously.

It can be said that the strength of a martial artist's internal organs determines the amount of time a martial artist can circulate qi and blood.

Under the same realm, the time a perfect-level organ refining martial artist can fight with high intensity is definitely several times that of a low-grade organ refining martial artist!

And now he!

With organ refinement above the perfect realm, the duration of high-intensity combat would absolutely crush any martial artist of the same level!

Thinking this, Li Ziyu's mind moved again.

"Open the System Panel."

Name: Li Ziyu.

Realm: Grade 4 Peak Martial Artist (+).

Martial Saint Technique: Elementary Meteor Sword Technique (+), Elementary Starry Sky Movement Technique (+), Elementary Starry Sky Undying Body (+).

Battle Skills: Micro-level Blade Technique (+), Subtle Body Movement (+), Micro-level Great Sun Body Tempering Method (+), Peak Level Natural Breathing Method (+), Peak Level Crystal Meditation Technique (+), Peak Level Ninefold Thunder Blade (+), Peak-Level Thunderclap Slash (+).

System: Martial God System.

Function 1: Can absorb all things to enhance qi and blood.

Function 2: Can devour Battle Skills and inherit Battle Skill levels.

Other functions await the system's self-discovery.

"Hiss, what exactly is this crystal? Not only can it allow me to perfectly refine my organs, but it can also directly raise my strength from Grade 4 Intermediate to Grade 4 Peak!"

"Moreover, the medicinal effect isn't even finished yet; it can still be improved?"

Li Ziyu looked at the string of plus signs on the System Panel, feeling a little shocked.

Good heavens, this is even faster than his strength increasing from hunting fierce beasts.

The effect is hundreds of times better than mystic spirit marrow!

If he could cultivate with crystals from now on, wouldn't his realm improvement speed be like riding a rocket?

Li Ziyu looked at the string of plus signs on the System Panel, feeling a bit conflicted.

He wanted to add all of them, but for a moment, he didn't know which one to improve.

However, at this moment, he recalled the scene when he used the Control-level Swift Wind Blade Technique during the initial test, and his eyes flickered:

"How about I try to raise a Micro-level Battle Skill to Control-level?"

He still vividly remembered the power of Control-level Battle Skills.

That was definitely a qualitative change!

Just as Li Ziyu was about to make the improvement, suddenly, the entire ground began to shake violently.

"The Martial Saint Secret Realm is about to close. Everyone, please prepare yourselves."

"Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

…"

"What's going on?! Why did the Martial Saint Secret Realm suddenly close?!"

"Could it be that Li Ziyu has already obtained the Martial Saint Secret Realm's inheritance?! Isn't there still a third phase mission?!"

"Damn it, it's collapsing here, run!"

Throughout the Martial Saint Secret Realm, everyone watched the swaying skyscrapers around them in panic, immediately searching for a place to hide.

Li Ziyu was also surprised.

No third phase mission? The Secret Realm has ended?

It seems it's because he obtained the Martial Saint Secret Realm's inheritance.

However, the matter of the Martial Saint Technique cannot be revealed.

…

Outside, Wu Sheng Town.

Sixth Elder Tianwei Star of Ji Dao Martial Hall and Fifth Elder Heavenly Courage Star, Fifth Elder were resting with their eyes closed in their martial hall's airship.

"Old Six, after getting that Level 8 lightning-element fierce beast crystal core from Left Hongyang, you should be able to break through to Level 8 Peak Martial Artist, right?"

Heavenly Courage Star, Fifth Elder looked at the thin old man Tianwei Star and smiled.

"Hmm, haha, thanks to that muscle-bound fool Left Hongyang.

If he hadn't luckily obtained the Level 8 fierce beast lightning core, it would have taken me a lot more time to break through to Level 8 Peak-level.

Haha!"

"I don't know what Left Hongyang was thinking, to actually believe that a mere Li Ziyu could be an opponent for the second-generation disciples of my Ji Dao Martial Hall. What a joke."

Sixth Elder Tianwei Star couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh heartily when he thought of the Level 8 fierce beast crystal core he was about to obtain.

Fifth Elder Heavenly Courage Star, Fifth Elder also curled his lips, a hint of mockery flashing across his face:

"Heh, it's normal for the academy faction, having been suppressed by our two great martial halls for so long, to easily develop unrealistic fantasies when a genius finally appears.

However, do they really think my Ji Dao Martial Hall is easy to surpass?"

"The academy faction and the military are not worth worrying about; our only opponent is Beyond Martial Hall."

Heavenly Courage Star, Fifth Elder said lightly.

Currently, the two strongest forces in Great Xia were their Ji Dao Martial Hall and Beyond Martial Hall.

Both had Martial Saint overseeing them.

Although their Ji Dao Martial Hall and Beyond Martial Hall were outwardly united, they were also constantly competing internally.

Both wanted to dominate.

However, because their strengths were comparable, neither could do anything to the other.

"When this Martial Saint Secret Realm ends, we'll allocate some mystic spirit marrow for the disciples in the hall to cultivate.

As far as I know, the two Martial Saint adults have privately agreed that whichever martial hall's disciple ranks first in the Seed Training Camp, the other party will have to submit in the new era.

It is said that Sun Yuanba, the senior disciple among Beyond Martial Hall's first-generation disciples, has already broken through to Level 5 Peak Martial Artist and entered the realm of a Half-Step Grandmaster.

Beyond Martial Hall is very likely to have Sun Yuanba enter this Seed Training Camp."
