The founder of the Wild Wolf Gang and the current leader Tian Xiang's father, had a great reputation in Huaiyuan Town while he was alive.
In the era when Tian Qing was alive, he was even called the strongest man in Huaiyuan Town and also had a considerable reputation in the surrounding cities.
The next moment, Liang Hui had entered the elder's body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The heart beat like a drum, the blood flowed like a river, and the surging inner strength in the abdomen was like a huge wave.
As soon as he entered the body, an overwhelming sense of strength arose within Liang Hui's heart.
This body was far superior to that of Hong Er.
He felt that every inch of sinew, muscle, and bone in the body was filled with explosive power.
It was completely unlike that of a man in his sixties.
At this instant, for Liang Hui, it was as if he had been riding a bicycle all along and had suddenly switched to a top-tier sports car, and the gap was even greater.
Perceiving the white and jade-like bones inside the elder's body, which were exactly as described in the stage of bone refinement in the manual.
So this is bone refinement? Truly powerful and terrifying.
Then, what kind of strength would the later stages of internal refining grant?
A breeze from an unknown source blew against his sleeves, and the elder slowly got up.
Raising an arm forward broke the harmonious atmosphere in the courtyard, as if the whole courtyard was being shaken.
Boom!
The fist was thrown first, then the thunder exploded.
The elder transitioned from extreme stillness to extreme motion, and his wildly fierce punches and kicks stirred up the wind, dust and fallen leaves enveloping around him, grinding them into powder.
The stone slabs in the courtyard cracked with the elder's footsteps, and Liang Hui had never seen such a ferocious display of Green Wolf Fist.
In comparison, Hong Er's fist technique was not even child's play.
Calming his emotions, Liang Hui began to carefully perceive the elder's fist techniques and the way he emitted force, as well as the circulation of True Qi within the body.
Eventually, integrating with the manual, he felt as though a new world was opening up.
So sensing Qi-Blood was such a simple thing, and so the Green Wolf Fist should be executed like this, and the power should be released like this.
As the elder demonstrated his boxing technique, Liang Hui felt he was improving every minute, every second, surpassing his past self.
In a fleeting thought, the elder suddenly pulled back his fist, returning from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and the surging Qi-Blood and inner strength within the body also calmed instantly.
The elder's gaze turned fierce as he looked toward the front door.
At some point, a youth in silver armor had appeared, his eyes showing admiration.
"Elder's boxing is indeed explosive. If not for your age and martial arts limitations, you would have likely broken into the first realm of internal refining by now. Huaiyuan Town, such a remote place, has restricted you."
"I wonder if the elder would like to join Emperor Tang's Black Tortoise Guard. Perhaps then you might acquire deeper martial arts knowledge."
Tian Qing's eyes drooped slightly, "It seems that the bout of boxing just now did not make you back off."
"I am near the end of my life and only wish to walk to the end in this remote place. If you want to recruit for the Black Tortoise Guard to bolster a city's strength, there's no need to come to me."
The youth in silver armor let out a light chuckle and strode forward.
"Elder, if someone as untalented as I am could withstand even half a move from you, I hope the elder would consider joining the Black Tortoise Guard."
"Defeat me? I just hope you don't get killed."
Before the words fell, the stone slabs beneath the elder's feet had already begun to crumble bit by bit, and he threw a fist toward the youth.
At the same time, everything in the courtyard began to blur.
When things became clear again, the 'dream' had ended.
Liang Hui, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes to find his face quite pale, an inevitable sense of loss appeared as he transitioned from the immensely strong body back to his own.
However, his mindset quickly adjusted; although the elder's body was strong, its potential was exhausted, whereas his own potential was enough to become the first in this realm.
Afterward, without any hesitation, he picked up the prepared meat beside him and began to eat heartily.
This time, entering the dream consumed an excessive amount of spirit and physical energy, to the extent that before the final battle could be seen, the dream had ended.
However, could the Emperor Tang mentioned by the man in silver armor be the dynasty that was replaced by Great Zhou seven years ago?
Shaking his head, he no longer thought about these trivial matters, whether it was the Black Tortoise Guard or Emperor Tang, they should now be turned to dust.
After all, hiding under the watch of the Great Zhou Empress was not an easy task.
After finishing all the prepared food, Liang Hui finally stood up and began practicing the Green Wolf Fist.
This time, the practice of the fist technique went from being strictly according to the rules to becoming more and more fluid, and the movements also got faster and faster.
Gradually, Liang Hui even closed his eyes, carefully sensing the Qi-Blood within his body.
'Found it.'
The next moment, the fist movement abruptly stopped.
Liang Hui stood in place, controlling a thread of Qi-Blood within his body, and as described in the manual, he directed it towards the skin on the surface of his body.
In an instant, he felt a slight change in his body's skin.
'Is this sensing Qi-Blood and then refining the skin?'
Liang Hui opened his eyes, touched his skin, and then casually threw a punch.
He only felt that the skin had gained a bit of toughness, and his strength had also increased slightly.
Then, closing his eyes again, he submerged his consciousness in his mind, feeling that the Flowing Light Bell also changed with the breakthrough, the information woven from the faint yellow light had altered.
Artifact name: Flowing Light Bell
Artifact owner: Liang Hui (**)
Divine Skills: Dream Entry
Extraordinary profession: Martial Artist (Skin Refinement 0.02%)
Martial arts: Green Wolf Fist Manual
Skills: Green Wolf Fist
His extraordinary profession had changed to Martial Artist as he stepped into skin refinement, and Liang Hui assumed that the percentage behind it possibly indicated how complete this Realm was.
Whether it was or not, with cultivation it would soon become clear.
An option for martial arts had also been added, but as Liang Hui lightly tapped the information in his mind on the words 'Martial Artist', the martial arts option automatically retracted.
As for the skills, Green Wolf Fist was added, but there was no change like a percentage following it.
After sensing it carefully for a while, Liang Hui resumed his cultivation.
He practiced the fist technique over and over, the way of exerting force slowly approaching the old man's technique after the dream.
Time slowly passed, sweat constantly slid down the youth's cheeks, then soaked the ground.
But the practice of the fist technique and the circulation of Qi-Blood never ceased for even a moment.
Only when the sun was about to set did Liang Hui finally sit down against the cave wall, his body conveying exhaustion and hunger throughout.
However, Liang Hui did not care about these feelings; instead, he immediately immersed his consciousness in his mind.
(Skin Refinement 0.97%)
"Is that really how it is? It looks like I didn't guess wrong," Liang Hui murmured softly.
If food was plentiful, practicing for most of the day could result in nearly one percent progress, which means that to complete the Skin Refinement Realm would take no more than three months.
Of course, all this was extrapolated from today's progress in cultivation, the path of cultivation becoming harder the further one goes, so the time might end up being pushed back a little.
After relieving some of the exhaustion by leaning against the cave wall, Liang Hui began roasting chunks of meat.
Night fell as expected, and after eating the last piece of roasted meat, he prepared to go to sleep early.
Bang! Crack!
Suddenly, the sound of falling rocks and breaking branches reached Liang Hui's ears.
