Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 421: Chapter 8: First Hearing of the Five Viscera Will-Condensing Method

Inside the grand hall.

Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen: ”The Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera differs from the usual Viscera Cultivation Method. Typically, the usual method involves sequentially refining the five viscera, and once all five are connected, they are used to nourish the Spirit Soldier. Borrowing the power of the Spirit Soldier, True Qi is released, which is what is known as Entering the Grade.”

”This is the path most martial artists take. Additionally, there are some exceptional talents whose viscera refining methods differ from those of average martial artists, just like the Extreme Martial Arts Path you originally took.”

”The Extreme Martial Arts Path follows the Qi Blood route. With abundant Qi Blood, there’s no need to rely on a Spirit Soldier. One can consolidate the Martial Path Will by depending on the abundance of one’s own Qi Blood along with the energy contained in the five viscera.”

Regarding what the headmaster mentioned, Lin Chen was not surprised. His instructor had already familiarized him with these martial arts insights back in Linhu Village.

The consolidation of Martial Path Will is a sign of Entering the Grade.

In Liang, the original martial artists consolidated their Martial Path Will through their own Qi Blood and the strength of their five viscera. Later, a predecessor discovered that by utilizing the power of a Spirit Soldier, nourishing the Spirit Soldier with the five viscera, and harnessing a trace of the Spirit Soldier’s might, one could cultivate their own Martial Path Will.

”For Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera, at the first transformation, you only need to refine one of the five viscera. When refining two components, you proceed to the second transformation. When all five viscera are completely refined, your body is still not in a perfect state; four more transformations await you. If you can’t withstand these four transformations, you will be creating a new record.”

”What record?”

Lin Chen was very curious. How could failing to withstand the transformations create a record when success seemed to be the prerequisite?

”Invincibility in the Refining Viscera Realm!”

Lin Chen: ?

”You will forever be stuck in the Refining Viscera Realm, or you might find another way to Enter the Grade, but the Ninth Grade is the limit.”

Lin Chen remained silent for a few moments, then looked up and asked: ”Headmaster, what if I succeed in the Nine Revolutions?”

”The sky is high, the bird flies freely; the sea is vast, the fish leaps as it pleases. As long as you survive, the Nine Countries True Martial Hall will have a place for you!”

”True Martial Hall?”

”The True Martial Hall is still far from you; it’s something you should consider in ten years.”

Hua Qianwu didn’t delve deeper into the True Martial Hall but continued: ”First, tell me about your current martial arts cultivation progress.”

Hua Qianwu was preparing a special training method for Lin Chen in light of the Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera, which couldn’t be cultivated following the ways typical for other Martial Arts Academy disciples or even other geniuses.

”Yes.”

Lin Chen pondered for a while, summarizing his current martial path situation: ”I’ve been cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera, and besides, I’ve also created the Wind and Cloud Palm, based on Water Cloud Palm and Clear Wind Palm, along with the Gale Leg...”

Hua Qianwu’s expression remained unchanged, as he had reviewed this information.

”Besides, I’ve also cultivated the Mountain Suppressing Chart. However, before coming to the Martial Arts Academy this time, I visited Huang Mountain, and the situation of the Mountain Suppressing Chart has changed somewhat. According to my grandmaster, it is now a Body Tempering Technique.”

”Grandmaster, Body Tempering?”

Hua Qianwu caught the two keywords in Lin Chen’s explanation.

”When the instructor at the Martial Hall who guided me, Instructor Yu, acknowledged the patriarch of the Huang Family as his master, I called the patriarch my grandmaster in terms of seniority. My grandmaster informed me that the Mountain Suppressing Chart is not just a simple Horizontal Cultivation Method but also a Body Tempering Technique. I also cultivated on Huang Mountain.”

Lin Chen didn’t hide his experiences on Huang Mountain from the headmaster.

When he left the Huang Family back then, his grandmaster didn’t prohibit him from mentioning the Body Tempering matter.

Since he was heading to Canglan Martial Arts Academy, the instructors there needed to understand the cultivation techniques he practiced to guide his training effectively.

His grandmaster must have known this and didn’t advise him to keep it a secret, thus allowing him to inform the academy.

If it was a regular Martial Arts Academy instructor, he might have hesitated about disclosing the Huang Family’s secrets, but there was no concern with someone at the headmaster level.

Hua Qianwu nodded, understanding now why Lin Chen would call that man grandmaster.

Lin Chen had learned the Huang Family’s martial arts technique, and since the training he received from Instructor Yu, who acknowledged the Huang Family patriarch as his master, was so beneficial, calling him grandmaster was appropriate.

As for Body Tempering...

”Let me see your hand.”

Lin Chen extended his hand as instructed. Hua Qianwu, unlike Jia Nanzhu from before, didn’t hold Lin Chen’s fingers. Instead, he flicked his right middle finger in the air, and a wisp of force shot at Lin Chen’s elbow.

At the moment the force touched his elbow, Lin Chen clearly saw a portion of the muscle in his elbow cave inward. This force actually pierced through his skin, penetrating directly into the meridians of his arm.

The force traveled from his elbow to his shoulder, freezing the circulation of Qi Blood wherever it passed. Fortunately, the force moved quickly, traveling around his body in a mere instant, eventually dissipating at the sole of his right foot.

”It truly is Body Tempering. You have surprised me.”

Hua Qianwu was at a loss for words; a Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera was already enough to give him a headache, but now there was also Body Tempering.

”The Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera can make you invincible in the Refining Viscera Realm, and Body Tempering can do the same. Combine the two...”

Lin Chen instinctively added, ”Invincible across the Nine Kingdoms?”

”Hmm?” Hua Qianwu’s eyes slightly narrowed: ”If you can truly achieve that, then indeed, you will be invincible across the Nine Kingdoms.”

”Headmaster, how should I continue cultivating this Body Tempering?”

”To proceed along the Body Tempering path, you need the energy contained within the mist on Huang Mountain, as mentioned. I presume your instructor should be investigating it. I will also contact Lord Kong; there’s no rush in this matter.”

”Is there anything else?”

”I have also cultivated an archery technique, taught by my instructor, named the Fear of Death Arrow. Additionally, I have a Dragon Shadow Bow, which my instructor said was crafted using a Flood Dragon’s tendons.”
