Jiang Shi spoke.

"Why? Even with such conditions, you still refuse?"

Yun Ying's eyes widened.

"Yes."

Jiang Shi nodded calmly, "I'm just a stubborn person. If I say I don't like it, I don't like it. It's no use trying to persuade me more. See this wooden block?"

He weighed it in his hand, then threw it with all his might. With a whooshing sound, it fiercely shot towards the distant mountain peak.

Under the terrifying power of the throw, the wood shot out rapidly, creating layers of sparks from the friction with the air, and it instantly ignited like a meteor, crashing into the stone on the mountain.

Rumble!

Debris scattered and flew wildly.

The small wooden block directly created a crater the size of an iron pot on the mountain wall, over half a meter deep, as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

"If you keep talking, this wooden block will hit you."

Jiang Shi spoke.

Yun Ying's eyes were filled with horror, her hair stood on end. She quickly looked at the deep crater and then back at Jiang Shi, making a decisive decision, "Forgive me, forgive me, goodbye!"

Without thinking, she turned and left, with a whoosh, her body leaped, and she quickly disappeared from the place.

Jiang Shi watched with a silent envy.

This kind of high-flying lightweight skill, he could not master.

Although he also practiced the Shadow-Following Leg Technique, unfortunately, he was only in the Second Realm, far from Perfection. It was fine for running on land, but for such high-flying skills, he was still lacking.

"With this Enlightenment talent, perhaps later I can also fuse some lightweight skills. I wonder what it would be like to fuse seven or eight lightweight skills?"

Jiang Shi pondered.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"By the way, the Entering Strength Pill I obtained last time at the Wuliang Daoist Temple still hasn't been used. I must quickly find a place to train."

He urged his steed, galloping off once again into the distance.

Behind him, the young lady Yun Ying was terrified, fleeing wildly, her body constantly rising and falling, running over ten miles before she finally dared to stop.

"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"

Her mind still replayed the scene just moments ago, her forehead slick with cold sweat, filled with trepidation.

Could a small wooden block really produce such power?

"Yun Ying, how is the situation?"

The faint sound of breaking wind returned from afar, and two figures approached swiftly; both were men, one middle-aged and one young, wearing yellow long robes, and they landed directly at the scene.

The young man had bright star-like eyes, a tall stature, quite handsome, and when he looked at the young lady, there was a hint of gentle admiration in his eyes.

"Don't follow him. If he doesn't want to join, forcing it will lead to death!"

Yun Ying quickly responded.

"Is that so? What a pity," the young man said with a sigh.

"Such a person was actually forced into becoming an adversary by Guo Yi. What a pity indeed!"

The middle-aged man fell into thought, looking ahead, "This is the road to Hengzhou, in Hengzhou bandits run rampant..."

But he quickly fell silent.

No matter how large the bandit threat, what use is it against such a monster?

"Let's go!"

The middle-aged man said.

The three quickly turned and left, disappearing from the scene swiftly.

...

Night fell.

An unknown small town.

After hastening his journey, Jiang Shi finally managed to check into an inn smoothly.

At this moment, his body was soaking in a bath barrel, circulating the Secret Manual for the Golden Child Body, silently absorbing the herbs in the bath barrel.

Fortunately, the herbs he obtained last time at the Wuliang Daoist Temple were not yet used up, fully supporting another period of cultivation.

Jiang Shi, as always, chose to first cultivate the easiest Horizontal Training Technique.

Once the Horizontal Training Technique reached Perfection, he would then refine the Entering Strength Pill without eating it.

A night passed.

He continually replaced the herbs in the bathtub, and the Secret Manual for the Golden Child Body was rushing rapidly towards Perfection.

Since his physical power had greatly increased, his talent in Horizontal Training Techniques seemed to have become stronger.

Now a single Horizontal Training Technique could reach Perfection in just one night.

Previously, it would have taken at least two days even if he was fast.

But now, the speed was astonishing.

However, after the Golden Child Body reached Perfection, the power it brought made Jiang Shi frown greatly.

The entire technique only added 1,300 jin of power.

"It seems I am too strong, my physique nearing its pinnacle, and ordinary techniques are becoming increasingly useless."

Jiang Shi said.

He discarded the Golden Child Body and began cultivating the Giant Spirit Body Refining Technique.

Similarly, it took him a day's time to reach Perfection with the Giant Spirit Body Refining Technique, directly increasing his power by 1,500 jin.

The difference between the two wasn't significant.

As evening approached, Jiang Shi opened his panel again to observe.

Name: Jiang Shi

Cultivation: Entering Strength Seventh Stage

Reputation Value: 5,180 (When Reputation Value reaches 10,000, unlock the next talent)

···

"Fine, let's begin the fusion."

He rose from the bath barrel, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began utilizing the Enlightenment talent.

As before, his entire brain was filled with countless tightly packed information, once again beginning to operate at high speed, with wisps of white mist emerging from the top of his head···

His forehead also began to expel large beads of sweat.

His entire body's temperature rose rapidly, like a piece of wrought iron being constantly grilled in flame, causing his face to flush.

After quite a while, Jiang Shi finally opened his eyes again, gasping heavily, as the white mist above his head quickly stopped and the flush and heat on his face rapidly dissipated.

"Strange, the Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill and Red Sun Golden Body Technique still cannot be fused. Is there truly a boundary between super grade techniques and ordinary techniques, like an emperor and a commoner, never to meet?"

Jiang Shi panted, looking at the panel.

The Red Sun Divine Skill had successfully fused with the two subsequent body refining techniques, evolving into the Red Sun Golden Body Technique.

However, the Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill still could not be integrated into the Red Sun Golden Body Technique.

Not only that!

His attempt to merge the Red Sun Golden Body Technique into the Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill also completely failed.

The two resisted each other, like water and fire, clashing in his mind.

"Damn it!"

He was exhausted, cursing under his breath.

However, when he saw the functionality of the newly fused technique, he took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Red Sun Golden Body Technique: Third Realm (Defense Enhancement Level Four, Power Rebound Level Two, Power Amplification 72%)

"Defense has been increased by another level, and Power Rebound has also improved, well, it's not too bad."

Moreover, this gave him hope anew.

Could it be that the Red Sun Golden Body Technique was too low-leveled, thus unable to merge with the Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill?

Perhaps, as he continues to fuse with new techniques, there will come a day when the Red Sun Golden Body Technique can merge with the Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill.

"The Power Amplification is now 72%. I refuse to believe it won't merge when it reaches 100%,"

Jiang Shi thought to himself.

Even if they couldn't merge, he wouldn't be at a loss.

Suddenly, Jiang Shi felt a strong hunger overwhelm him again.

But equipped with experience from last time, he had already prepared sufficient food in the room. He immediately got off the bed and started eating.

Once he temporarily eased his hunger, he finally took out the Entering Strength Pill and ingested it directly.

···

Two days passed.

Jiang Shi's cultivation and reputation continued to rise.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, Jiang Shi, having exhausted his resources, finished refining all of the Entering Strength Pills, and his reputation ceased to increase.

He stepped out of the inn with a refreshed stance.

"Reputation value at 5,700 points now, it's time to leave."

Jiang Shi murmured to himself.
