"Tian Gang Tyrant Body!"
Gu Qingfeng took out the martial art from his inventory. As soon as he did, it transformed into streams of light that sank into his mind, followed by countless memories.
In an instant, Gu Qingfeng felt as though he had been practicing the Tiangang Ba Ti for years. In a single moment, he had cultivated the martial art to its perfect level.
The Tiangang Overlord Body was perfected!
Gu Qingfeng immediately sensed that his energy and blood had become significantly stronger. This transformation made his eyes widen in surprise.
"Mid-grade martial art mastered!"
"It seems the martial arts awarded this time are no small matter!"
Only now did Gu Qingfeng notice that what was mentioned in the information column was a mid-grade martial art, perfected. This revelation implied that breakthroughs achieved by his descendants would not only reward improvement points and general martial arts but also have the potential to grant perfected martial arts.
So that's how it is.
Martial arts perfected.
This realization saved Gu Qingfeng a lot of trouble.
Now, with the Tiangang Overlord Body at its perfected level, Gu Qingfeng realized that if he were to train on his own, it would take him more than a decade to reach the same mastery of a mid-grade martial art. This would be with the advantage of already being a warrior in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Otherwise, the time needed to perfect the Tiangang Overlord Body would have been even longer. But now, Gu Qingfeng had achieved perfection in one swift motion, making such comparisons irrelevant.
Like the Burning Sun Palm, the Tiangang Tyrant Body was divided into nine levels. From the fifth level onwards, it revolved around cultivating protective qi in the body.
The so-called protective qi is a manifestation of a warrior's qi and blood, transformed into qi. Normally, as long as a warrior's qi and blood are strong enough, they can develop protective qi. But the protective qi generated from a perfected Tiangang Overlord Body was far more domineering.
"Although a top-notch mid-grade martial art cannot lead to immediate leaps in my cultivation, it does strengthen my foundation. With enough accumulated martial arts, even if I remain in the early stages of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, I will be able to suppress all other strong warriors in the same realm!"
This reward left Gu Qingfeng thoroughly satisfied.
If there was one, there could be more. Since Gu Yang's breakthrough had been rewarded with perfected martial arts, it meant he could have opportunities to acquire perfected martial arts again in the future.
However, Gu Qingfeng wasn't sure if the appearance of perfected martial arts was a matter of probability or if his descendants could only obtain them upon breaking through to higher realms.
Then, Gu Qingfeng took out the Bone Refining Pill from his inventory.
Compared to the Blood Refining Pill, the Bone Refining Pill was obviously a medicine used by warriors in the Bone Refining Realm. Although Gu Qingfeng had broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, it didn't mean the Bone Refining Pill was useless to him.
Without hesitation, Gu Qingfeng took one of the pills.
As soon as the Bone Refining Pill entered his stomach, it unleashed energy many times more powerful than that of the Blood Refining Pill. All 365 golden bones throughout his body vibrated intensely, as if undergoing tempering.
After a long time, Gu Qingfeng let out a deep breath.
After taking the Bone Refining Pill, his cultivation hadn't improved, but his golden bones had become more perfected, further enhancing his strength.
Clearly, Bone Refining Pills differ from Blood Refining Pills. The latter strengthens the foundation and boosts qi and blood to aid a warrior's breakthrough, while the former purely enhances one's foundation. However, the ability of the Bone Refining Pill to fortify the foundation far surpasses that of the Blood Refining Pill.
For warriors who have just entered the Bone Refining Stage, taking one Bone Refining Pill a day is the limit. But now that Gu Qingfeng had entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm, his restriction on consuming Bone Refining Pills had been greatly reduced.
Within just a day, Gu Qingfeng refined all ten Bone Refining Pills and consumed them.
The outcome of taking the elixirs was an undeniable boost in strength.
"After consuming the Bone Refining Pills, my golden bones have been tempered. My combat power has increased by at least 10% compared to before!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed in focus.
A 10% increase in combat power might not seem like much, but in the realm of warriors, strength isn't simply one plus one equals two.
With a 10% increase in combat power, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his strength had grown significantly.

"This is Baishi City, and it pales in comparison to Guangyang Prefecture!"
Among the three people traveling together, a beautiful woman in a purple dress wrinkled her nose, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Junior Sister, Baishi City is just a small place. How can it compare to Guangyang Prefecture?" said a handsome young man with a smile. "I've heard that the strongest power here on Baishi Road is the Gu family. In a small place like this, the Gu family might hold sway, but in Guangyang Prefecture, they'd be insignificant."
The young man did not lower his voice, and those nearby looked at him in shock and disbelief.
Everyone knew that Gu Qingfeng was the strongest person on Baishi Road, and the Gu family was the top force.
It was shocking that someone would dare to speak so brazenly in the streets.
Immediately, someone stepped forward, indignant: "Young man, you'd better watch your words!"
Though the speaker knew the young man's identity was clearly not simple, he still believed that if he stood up for the Gu family, he might earn their favor.
"Are you from the Gu family?" Ye Shi's eyes turned cold.
The man shook his head. "No, but the Gu family's reputation cannot be tarnished—"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Shi's palm struck like lightning, landing on the man's chest. The force sent him flying, dead before he hit the ground.
"You're not from the Gu family, just a piece of trash who hasn't even entered the Blood Refining Realm. How dare you speak to me? You were courting death!" Ye Shi sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
Seeing this, the expressions of the bystanders changed.
Many recognized the dead warrior as someone who had perfected the Skin Refining Realm. Yet, he had been killed by Ye Shi with a single strike, revealing that Ye Shi was at least a master of the Blood Refining Realm.
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed in fear.
A Blood Refining Realm warrior was a significant force here, and the older man who accompanied Ye Shi hadn't even acted yet. Judging by the old man's demeanor, it was clear he was Ye Shi's elder—and if the younger one was this strong, his elder was surely more powerful.
Soon, someone carried the news to the Gu family.
...
"Trouble is coming!"
Gu Yang listened to his subordinate's report, his eyes cold. The strangers had insulted the Gu family and killed someone in the streets. Their motives were clearly not simple.
Yet, Gu Yang wasn't worried.
Not only had he broken through to the Blood Refining Realm, but he also had the mighty Gu Qingfeng behind him.
If powerful enemies approached, the Gu family would be ready.
