Body inscription, an ancient art etched onto the living canvas, could quicken a martial artist's ascent or fortify their combat prowess.
Much like its counterpart, objection inscription, a cap existed on how many could be inscribed. The number varied with the quality of the body inscription and the physical condition of the practitioner. Typically, one could etch no more than four or five.
With a duel against Zhang Guanyu looming in four short months, he needed to craft a body inscription within a single lunar cycle to unleash its full potential. Otherwise, its potency would wane or, worse, prove a futile endeavor!
Yet, achieving this feat within a month was akin to scaling the heavens!
Even with the inherited knowledge from the soul fragment, creating one successfully would demand a substantial investment of time and abundant rare and precious materials for practice.
