Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 10: Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique



Chapter 10: Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique

After the body tempering pills entered his stomach, Wu Yuan felt them dissolve.

The low-grade body tempering pill is truly worthy of the name ‘poison pill’. It contains far more impurities than the high-grade body tempering pill. He could distinctly detect numerous impurities within the medicinal pill.

Every medicine has its side effects. But the low-grade body tempering pill was basically poison with a side effect of physical improvement.

The body tempering pill was the most common basic medicinal pill refined by alchemists. Even some alchemist apprentices could refine it. This pill served as a supplementary aid for martial artists of fourth grade and lower, assisting them in tempering their bodies. It was concocted with relatively ordinary raw materials, thus the price it fetched was not too expensive, and the children of ordinary wealthy families could afford it.

In the county martial academy, the top ten disciples of every minor tournament were rewarded with body tempering pills. Of course, they were only given high-grade body tempering pills. The reason for that was simple: these common medicinal pills contained a large percentage of impurities. If taken appropriately, the martial artist's body would only suffer minimal damage, and the benefits outweighed the detriments.

But they should not be taken excessively! If consumed in large quantities, the copious amount of impurities accumulated in the body could damage one's vitality.

As for medium-grade body tempering pills, they had much greater side effects. It was mostly only taken by martial artists who found it difficult to make further progress. In the martial academy, disciples were strictly forbidden from consuming medium-grade body tempering pills to enhance their strength.

As for the low-grade body tempering pill? It had its uses, but was far closer to a poison pill. The detriments outweighed the benefits, and consuming too much could even be fatal. They were usually the waste pills produced by alchemist apprentices during their failed refining attempts.

The high-grade body tempering pill is indeed decent, but much too expensive. 50 silver taels for one pill? Wu Yuan shook his head.

He had taken it once, and the effect was quite good. But to buy 500, it would cost 25,000 silver taels! How many people in the entirety of Li City could actually afford it?

Even if I had that much silver, purchasing that many in one go would probably cause a stir in the Starcom Consortium.

A transaction of tens of thousands of silver taels in a mere county city would definitely draw attention. Although the Starcom Consortium was known for its neutrality and credibility, Wu Yuan wasn't foolish enough to entrust his fate to someone else.

Was their reputation good? Only when one’s purchase wasn’t big enough!

Wu Yuan can't afford to wait either. From the age of twelve to eighteen, every day marked a period of rapid physical growth, and each day he delayed his training was a huge waste of time. Thus, Wu Yuan chose the unremarkable low-grade body tempering pill.

The disciples of other martial academies, and even some powerful martial artists, dare not consume the low-grade body tempering pill due to its high percentage of impurities.

Gurgle~ Hum~ A series of low rumblings emanated from Wu Yuan's stomach like detonating grenades.

If a martial arts expert were here, they would be astonished to discover that every muscle, tendon, and bone in Wu Yuan's body was vibrating. This state only lasted about half a minute.

Wu Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mixture of black and purple colored impurities onto the river bank. These were the impurities from the medicinal pills.

It's a pity that I haven't reached the Viscera Cultivation and Marrow Cleansing phase. Otherwise, these impurities could be completely expelled through the pores of my limbs and bones, further increasing the purity.

If high-grade body tempering pills were 99% essence and 1% impurity, then the low-grade body tempering pill was 80% essence and 20% impurity. By controlling his stomach, Wu Yuan was able to separate out most of the impurities, achieving a purity of 99.9%! The percentage of impurities was near zero, making him well and truly capable of consuming them in large quantities.

Previously, I had yet to reach Threefold Power Surge. Even with Internal Vision, I didn't dare take the risk. Wu Yuan smiled.

Internal Vision was the act of forcibly controlling the body's muscles and bones. Only those with a strong spiritual sense could perform it, and it was very draining on the mind.

The pinnacle of Power Surge lay in achieving absolute familiarity with one's body, allowing one to control it naturally without undue mental effort.

It was this combination that gave Wu Yuan the confidence to try it out. This was after considering his still-developing physical constitution, where his tendons and fascia have not been fully trained.

Once he completed the Viscera Cultivation and Marrow Cleansing phase, the degree of control he had over his body would grow to even more exaggerated levels!

In this Middle Land, there are probably some martial artists in the top three grades as well as the legendary Heavenly Rankings who are not inferior to me. Wu Yuan sighed.

However, at what age did these top martial artists reach Wu Yuan’s current level? Wu Yuan estimated that it would take them at least until they were 20 to 30 years old, well past the golden years of growth. Even with the assistance of medicinal pills, the effectiveness would be minimal.

Even after purification, the effectiveness of a single low-grade body tempering pill naturally cannot compare to a legendary natural treasure. But with sheer quantity, the effects won't differ by much. Wu Yuan smiled.

In this world, there were legends of natural treasures. Many of them were recorded in the martial academy's collection, and the book 'Cavalier Legends' which was available in bookstores, also contained extensive information on the subject.

Certain martial artists had peculiar experiences during their youth, like consuming Vermilion Fruit, ingesting Python Pills, or swallowing a Northern Snow Lotus. These encounters significantly enhanced their strength, catapulting them to fame at a tender age!

But Wu Yuan did not envy them. Whether it was body tempering pills, natural treasures, or gravity chambers, they were all under the category of external environment. But on the path of martial arts, how far one could go was ultimately determined by oneself!

To have the cultivation experience of a top martial artist. And to coincide with the golden age of development?

Wu Yuan stood up and leaped forward, his figure and aura abruptly transforming from a young boy to a fierce tiger.

And the ultimate martial arts cultivation method summarized by the Human Federation, the ‘Optimal Path of Martial Arts’.

With over 600 body tempering pills in hand, I have an ample supply for my training. Now, it's time to focus on practicing the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique.

The Human Federation created the ‘Optimal Path of Martial Arts’ by summarizing the cultivation data of billions of humans. This process led to the creation of a comprehensive framework for identifying the ideal exercises to enhance one's martial arts journey, which was also continuously refined and improved over time.

Different cultivation methods would be suggested to martial artists of different genders, ages, and levels. Among them, the most famous were the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique and the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Technique. These were two ultimate cultivation methods, the former hailed as the ultimate Strength Training technique, the latter as the ultimate Viscera Cultivation technique.

Among all living creatures on the Blue Planet, the felines are the apex predators. Lions, tigers, and leopards are the kings among them, they have the strongest musculoskeletal structure, hence this technique was named after tigers and leopards. This technique is very powerful. The only problem is that it's extremely difficult to cultivate!

Even with the assistance of artificial intelligence, many young martial artists suffered severe damage to their bodies after attempting to cultivate it. Therefore, this technique was categorized as a forbidden art!

As for the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Technique? It was even more wondrous. How did the Grandmasters in Wu Yuan's previous life break through their human limits to possess immense strength? It was all thanks to this technique!

It could no longer be described by any creature that inhabited the Blue Planet, hence it was named after a mythical creature, the dragon, to capture its majesty and enigma.

In my previous life, I only cultivated the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Technique after I became an adult, and never cultivated the Tiger and Leopard Bone Training Technique.

This was something he deeply regretted. If he had cultivated both techniques at the same time, Wu Yuan could not imagine what level he would have reached in his previous life. Perhaps he could have become the number one Grandmaster of the Federation.

In this life, perhaps I can truly challenge the limits of the human body and try the Hundred Acupoints Divine Technique! Wu Yuan's eyes were filled with longing.

This cultivation method was still in the early stages of development in the Federation. It was the strongest cultivation method for acupoints, and was meant to be practiced after completion of Strength Training and Viscera Cultivation. However, because few martial arts Grandmasters were able to reach the point of cultivating their acupoints, there wasn't sufficient data to support this technique fully, hence it had yet to be perfected, and no one had truly mastered it.

Before this technique could be perfected, Wu Yuan already transmigrated to this world.

Whether it's the Dragon Marrow Cleansing Technique or the Hundred Acupoints Divine Technique that I’ve never tried, I still have a long way to go before they'll become relevant. Right now, my task is to cultivate the Tiger and Leopard Bone Training Technique to the pinnacle of Strength Training, laying the strongest foundation possible for my musculoskeletal system.

He took a deep breath and expelled it.

Wu Yuan swiftly performed a series of postures, sometimes switching his legs back and forth, sometimes supporting himself with his arms, sometimes leaping like a fish. It looked like he was practicing some kind of fist technique or leg technique.

But if one observed him for some time, one would realize that it was neither. Many of the postures were strange and specific. If he was not careful, he could easily sprain his muscles or bones. It was completely different from the typical methods of strength training such as running, punching, squatting, and frog leaping. It was not suitable for those who did not have precise control over their muscles and bones.

Breathe deeply, control the flow of blood. Even with the level of control he wielded over his body, he still found it difficult.

When he first heard of these techniques in his past life, his body was already matured and he had completed his strength training. Though he tried them out, their effects were insignificant, hence he did not pay much attention to them.

But practicing them again now, he gained a deeper insight into the effects of these techniques.

By mobilizing every limb and bone through these special movements with the spine as the core, one's flesh, tendons, fasciae, and bones will eventually be perfectly unified. Wu Yuan felt his whole body turning numb from the movements.

All 206 bones of his body were colliding with each other! It felt very comfortable.

Doing this will lead to better effects. Wu Yuan made several minor adjustments to his postures.

Movements were the surface, muscles and bones were the interior, breathing rhythm and blood flow were the lubricants, constantly progressing towards the perfect state.

While training, Wu Yuan also started to clearly feel his muscles and bones growing at an astonishing speed, more than ten times faster than before.

At the same time, the body tempering pills he swallowed previously were rapidly consumed, continuously converted into the energy needed by his body.

Ordinary humans possess a very low energy conversion rate from food, while martial artists exhibit a higher rate. And my conversion rate is dozens of times higher than ordinary martial artists! Wu Yuan felt his muscles and bones greedily absorbing every bit of power contained in the medicinal pills.

Before long, Wu Yuan swallowed a few more low-grade body tempering pills and continued to train, repeating this cycle.

Four hours later, the eastern sky began to brighten.

Exhaling, Wu Yuan lightly leaped up to his feet, feeling refreshed and full of energy. His eyes lit up. Not bad, my strength has increased by at least several hundred catties!

This was raw physical strength. One had to understand that Wu Yuan had only increased his physical strength from 2500 catties to about 3800 catties after training for more than a month.

But this way of cultivating is seriously tiring!

His mind and body were equally exhausted. The human body was not a machine; it could only be sustained with a balance of tension and relaxation. Constant stress would only cause the body to collapse.

I will train once every two days. I already consumed fifteen body tempering pills the first time alone. The more I continue to train, the more I will consume. Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

It seemed that the 600 or so body tempering pills wouldn’t last him very long. Bear in mind, Wu Yuan only ingested low-grade body tempering pills. If he were to take high-grade ones, even a large clan would go broke supporting him.

For every martial artist powerhouse born, there were huge pillars of financial support behind them!

Time to go home!

Wu Yuan quickly scooped up the medicinal impurities from the ground and carefully discarded them in the river, watching as the currents washed them away completely. Only then did he return home.

...

As the days passed, Wu Yuan spent his days in regular Strength Training and martial skills comprehension, and his nights cultivating the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique frenziedly. The constitution of his body improved at a terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the martial academy major tournament.
