First, master a type of martial arts to the extreme, then learn something new, only then can you apply it to various aspects, achieving mastery in everything.

The notes of Martial Saint Zhao Dongjun contained similar ideas, which Zhou Leng studied diligently, not rushing to learn the Ancient River Sect's "Celestial Tide Palm."

Finally, he cultivated the Undying Star Body.

This martial body technique has an extremely slow cultivation process, but requires continuous perseverance.

Upon completion of cultivation, he began studying divine texts, primarily focusing on the Flying Whale Chapter's divine text, Ancient River's remaining divine text, Golden Page divine text, and Star Refining Furnace divine text.

The experience in the Ancient River Sect made Zhou Leng realize the increasingly significant role of divine texts.

He even vaguely understood that if he wanted to become a Martial Saint or even higher, divine texts were one of the foundations.

Moreover...

Zhou Leng glanced at the Star Refining Furnace.

Once he could grasp the power of the Star Refining Furnace, his cultivation path would surely soar to great heights.

After several days of intense cultivation, he gradually solidified his innate power.

After ascending to the Innate stage, his understanding of martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds.

The Overlapping Waves Palm of eighteen moves had already integrated ten moves into the ultimate killing move of Thousand Tide Sea, greatly enhancing its power.

Zhou Leng, accompanied by Huang, headed towards Mammoth Lake.

Xiaoba floated alone in Mammoth Lake, and upon seeing a man and a dog approaching, rushed out excitedly, shaking its body and scattering water droplets everywhere.

"I'm going to gather some orange blossom fruits," said Zhou Leng.

Xiaoba nodded, and the trio quickly dashed towards the orange blossom fruit grove.

Orange blossom fruits can directly increase True Qi, making them particularly suitable for martial artists.

Soon, four Black Bone Tigers appeared—one large and three small.

The three Vitality Stage Black Bone Tigers glanced at Zhou Leng, eyes wide.

This furless fierce ape had actually ascended to the Innate stage with such a strong aura.

As for the Eight-toothed Mammoth, there's even less to say.

The Innate Black Bone Tiger gazed at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng beckoned it with his hand.

To the fierce beasts, humans stood one minor realm higher.

Although the Black Bone Tiger's realm was True Liquid Innate, it could defeat most humans at the Blood Shocking Innate stage.

Like Xiaoba, he was True Liquid Innate but stronger than the Black Bone Tiger, capable of defeating Bone Forger Innate, at least a stronger Muscle Innate was needed to best him.

Only upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, where True Qi permeates the entire body, could humans stand equal with fierce beasts of the same realm.

The Innate Black Bone Tiger snorted lightly and charged directly at Zhou Leng.

It was Zhou Leng's first encounter with Blood Shocking Innate, and as he made his move, he intensified his body, unleashing Ten-in-One Thousand Tide Sea straight away.

The Innate Black Bone Tiger was unfazed, striking ferociously with its paw.

BOOM...

The blast shattered sound waves, causing both man and tiger to retreat.

Zhou Leng squinted, thinking, as the Senior Brother of Ancient River Sect, how could he be inferior to beasts of the same realm?

The Black Bone Tiger roared loudly, thinking how could it be weaker than the furless fierce ape? Moreover, it hadn't forgotten how, not long ago, it was unable to defeat even its own offspring.

The two sides refused to relent, rushing forward again to engage in battle.

Fierce beasts had a consistent fighting style, with no tricks, battling to the death, every move was savage—either you die or I perish.

Initially, Zhou Leng also attacked fiercely, but after accumulating enough experience, he changed tactics.

He stepped with Eight Trigrams Step, moved with Cloud-Drifting Body, switching between light and heavy.

At first, there wasn't much change, but as he got familiar with the light-heavy switch, spectators widened their eyes.

They saw Zhou Leng as though he were a soft Spiritual Snake, no matter how the Black Bone Tiger attacked, it couldn't touch him.

Zhou Leng continued launching attacks around the Black Bone Tiger, palm after palm, occasionally stabbing with a finger.

The Innate Void-Breaking Finger, True Qi extended three inches.

Like poking into tofu, each stab pierced a bloody hole.

What was most terrifying was the constantly destructive Finger Power of the Void-Breaking Finger, causing incessant bleeding.

After poking thirty-seven bloody holes, the Black Bone Tiger staggered and nearly fell.

Seizing the moment, Zhou Leng grabbed the tiger's claw and performed an over-the-shoulder throw.

BANG!

The Innate Black Bone Tiger slammed heavily into the ground, struggled for a while, then let out a defeated sigh.

Zhou Leng turned to look at the other three late-stage Vitality small Black Bone Tigers.

They retreated collectively, growling low.

"From now on, this orange blossom grove is mine."

Zhou Leng walked over confidently and picked all the mature orange blossom fruits, storing them in the Magic Spirit Bag.

Huang translated, while Xiaoba howled several times.

The Black Bone Tigers whimpered in their throats but eventually lowered their heads, agreeing to relinquish the grove.

They feared not the furless fierce ape, nor did they fear Xiaoba, but they feared the Eight-toothed Mammoth Clan.

Recently, the Eight-toothed Mammoth Clan started large-scale campaigns, with many beasts outside the valley either submitting, fleeing, or facing extermination.

Xiaoba joyfully led Zhou Leng and Huang away, out of the valley.

The land outside the valley mouth was expansive, with various fierce beasts bustling about.

A giant snake, tens of meters long, coiled around several large trees, its tail bound to a Triangle Rhinoceros.

Like pulling a cart, the Triangle Rhinoceros dragged both the giant snake and the trees.

Several Yellow-Furred Fierce Apes were picking medicinal fruits, throwing winemaking materials into the wine pool.

A group of Four-tailed Peacocks were rehearsing dances, each tail layer larger and more splendid than the one before, opening up like a magnificent painting.

This place resembled a fierce beast town.

All were serving the Eight-toothed Mammoths.

The Eight-toothed Mammoths were either lying on the ground sleeping or patrolling their territories lazily.

Upon seeing Xiaoba appear, then spotting Zhou Leng, the Eight-toothed Mammoths enthusiastically approached.

The Innate Mammoth that once injured Zhou Leng's shoulder with its nose gently extended its nose, softly touching Zhou Leng's shoulder.

Zhou Leng, using his arm like a nose, patted the mammoth's nose, greeting it.

Xiaoba communicated with the Eight-toothed Mammoths with a few growls, and the leading Grandmaster Eight-toothed mammoth approached, raising its trunk.

A familiar feeling came over.

The trunk lightly grazed, tearing Zhou Leng's clothes, removed the Magic Spirit Bag, then aimed its trunk mouth at Zhou Leng.

POOF...

Transparent liquid splashed over Zhou Leng's face and half of his body.

Far more than last time.

Other eight-toothed Mammoths also sprayed an unknown liquid onto Zhou Leng, including Xiaoba.

Some of the liquid splashed on the ground, and Huang rolled on it, absorbing it all.

In the distance, the fierce beasts stared intently at the liquid on Zhou Leng, constantly licking their noses or lips, drooling.

Zhou Leng's entire body was enveloped in a sticky, transparent liquid. He activated the Star Gazing Technique to absorb this power.

The liquid felt cool as it slowly penetrated through his skin pores and merged into his body.

Inside his body, a faint numbing itch surfaced.

His tendons, muscles, and bones seemed to be developing, as if dense ants were crawling inside his body.

After all the liquid had entered his body, Zhou Leng suddenly felt discomfort in his teeth.

He wiggled his mouth, and all his teeth fell out.

"Pfft..."

White teeth flew out, scattering like snow, without a drop of blood.

A slight pain and itch arose from his gums as new teeth began to grow.

Zhou Leng did not use the Demonized Watch to check his teeth in the mirror because, from his peripheral vision, he had noticed something strange.

Looking down, his body was deformed.

His pectorals were round and protruding, like large, white, upturned buttocks.

His abdomen resembled eight large, inverted white porcelain bowls.

His arms were as thick as two large thighs.

His legs were as thick as elephant legs, like two thick tree stumps.

The strap of the Demonized Watch had snapped, and the watch was being held in Huang's mouth.

Zhou Leng knew that the Mammoth Power Marvelous Body was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.

He had completely transformed into a cylindrical mass of muscles forming a human.

At least three meters tall.

The other eight-toothed Mammoths had already left, and Xiaoba continually nodded upon seeing Zhou Leng this robust.

Not far away, the fierce beasts gazed enviously at this Furless Fierce Ape.

Too handsome, overwhelmingly beautiful, his whole body exuded an explosive sense of beauty.

Zhou Leng activated the Star Gazing Technique to convert the power in his body.

After half an hour, he opened his eyes, and his body had shrunk a bit.

Then he operated the Undying Star Body.

Another half an hour later, he opened his eyes again and shrank further.

The big butt became a small butt, but essentially, he was still a deformed muscular man.

The nearby fierce beasts turned up their noses, not handsome anymore, turning ugly, uninteresting, and left one after another.

Zhou Leng slowly practiced the dynamic Establishing Image Chapter. Due to his deformed body, his movements were off, but it was still effective.

Huang and Xiaoba watched secretly, learning earnestly.

After finishing the Establishing Image Chapter, he started practicing the Flying Whale Chapter.

The first form of the Flying Whale Chapter; last time, he practiced up to twelve cycles, beyond which his body couldn't withstand the intense transformation.

This time, due to substantial body changes, his Qi Blood circulated only six times before his whole body became unbearably sore and sweaty, forcing him to stop.

Just like that, Zhou Leng took turns practicing various cultivation techniques, ultimately reducing his body size to the limit.

Yet, he was still like a slightly chubby version of a muscular beast.

He took out the Demonized Watch, using it as a mirror.

He looked ten years younger.

Opening his mouth, he revealed a mouthful of small, fine teeth.

"Hm?"

Zhou Leng carefully counted his teeth.

He clearly remembered having 32 teeth before, but now, there were 8 more, increasing to 40.

His previous teeth had some flaws and weren't perfectly aligned; now they were perfectly arranged like fine jade, flawless.

Forty new teeth.

"A state of great virtue and great power, akin to a Martial Saint. As expected, the fierce beasts are strong..."

"Could it have something to do with the tusks of the eight-toothed Mammoth...?"

Zhou Leng took another careful look at his teeth, then began practicing the Overlapping Waves Palm.

Through the Overlapping Waves Palm, he slowly sensed the exertion of force in his body.

The emphasis of the Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body was on exertion.

The power in the body was unobstructed, flowing like a raging fire, and the muscles seemed twisted together, the body truly like a force field.

In an instant, power permeated the entire body.

In a thought, strength reached even the smallest hair.

After finishing the Overlapping Waves Palm, Zhou Leng looked at his right hand.

With his right palm facing down and placed in front of him, as if pressing on a table.

Without using True Qi, he slightly exerted force.

The thumb reversed upright, followed by the index finger, then the middle finger, ring finger, and pinky.

With another exertion, the five fingers continued to bend backward, slowly sticking to the back of his hand, as if gripping something.

Five fingers reversed and gripped.

Slowly releasing force, the five fingers returned back.

Zhou Leng nodded, realizing that his Innate Body, under the effect of the Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body, was starting to develop in a slightly abnormal direction.

Ordinary Innates could do it by forcing with another hand, but to use a single hand to exert force on its own, it's very difficult to reverse five fingers.

On the surface, it's just body distortion, but in truth, it concerns the degree of control a person has over their body.

Martial arts techniques, in essence, are the combination of body and Qi Blood.

After familiarizing himself with the new body, he continued to integrate the deadly move Thousand Tide Sea.

In just two hours, he had integrated sixteen moves of the Overlapping Waves Palm into the Thousand Tide Sea, just two moves short of the ultimate killing move.

Without a bit of luck, it's 99% sweat plus 1% Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body.

The previous physical exertion was like a claw hammer, able to smash and pry, and occasionally do other tasks.

Now, the exertion of the body was like a toolbox, with claw hammers, screwdrivers, electric pens, power drills, wrenches, and even a multi-functional folding tactical axe in the partition.

"When does the battle begin?" Zhou Leng put on clothes and looked at Xiaoba.

Xiaoba let out a howl, and the eight-toothed Mammoth started moving.

Zhou Leng, Huang, and Xiaoba walked toward the Mammoth Brigade together.

A portion of the fierce beasts arranged in a disorderly line, following behind the Mammoth Brigade.

This beast brigade, numbering over three hundred, rushed forward, leaving clouds of dust in their wake.
