Dayang District.

Xilan Riverfront.

A gentle breeze brushed by, creating ripples on the river's surface.

Sunlight scattered, reflecting golden waves of light.

This place, located in the suburbs, is extremely quiet.

The house Lin Zheyu rented is right by the Xilan Riverfront.

In the yard, his eyes were closed tight, and crackling sounds emanated from his body.

A vast and mysterious power guided the medicinal strength of the Dust-Free Blood Coagulation Powder, tempering and strengthening every muscle, skin, and bone of Lin Zheyu.

After a few breaths.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, and unlike before, they were no longer weary but carried an air of calm and ease.

After numerous enhancements, his physique far exceeded that of an ordinary Martial Artist, comparable to the level of a Bone Marrow Refining Realm beast.

The pain from cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon was nothing for him now.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 1

Skills:

Gale Slash (Perfection)

Blood Boiling Secret Skill (Proficient 78%)

Golden Swan Skill (Ninth Layer 100%)

Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon (Third Layer 100%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 100%)

Lin Zheyu glanced at the data in his consciousness, and the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon had already reached perfection.

He took a dagger from the house, exerted all his strength, and sliced across his arm, leaving only a shallow cut.

Even the outer layer of skin was not broken.

His skin appeared delicate and smooth, rivaling that of any woman, with no traces of practicing Body Refining Techniques.

Most Martial Artists who cultivate Body Refining Techniques become muscular and robust, with thick skin and flesh, yet Lin Zheyu looked smooth-skinned and tender, highly deceptive.

All this was thanks to the strength of Source Power.

In the space of consciousness during cultivation, any injuries would be perfectly healed, leaving no scars.

After completing the enhancement, the spirit reflects upon the body, transforming it with mysterious energy, leaving no signs of exercise.

The strength in Lin Zheyu's hand slowly increased as he used the Qi and Blood Burst Skill; with one, two, up to three times the power, the dagger finally cut into the skin of his arm.

"So strong!"

"With my current defense, even if a Martial Artist at Qi Blood Four Transformations attacks while I'm standing still, without using any special moves, they might not be able to break my defense."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

The dagger he used was ordinary—if he had used a treasured blade like the Golden Scale Blade, perhaps only twice the power would be needed to break the defense of his skin.

The difference from the savage beast he encountered outside the city still existed.

"Let's test the pure physical strength."

After testing his defense, Lin Zheyu began testing his physical strength.

The Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon primarily enhances physical defense, with a small improvement in strength, but with bodily defense reaching the level of a Bone Marrow Refining Realm beast, his physical strength had also seen a considerable increase.

There were no professional tools to test strength in the yard, so Lin Zheyu could only estimate.

After moving to his new home, he bought an iron birch wood stake during his spare time.

This thing wasn't of much use to him now, but it was a good choice to test strength.

Boom!

Standing before the stake, Lin Zheyu threw a punch, his pure physical strength bursting forth, his fist colliding with the iron birch stake and making a deafening boom.

Retracting his fist, Lin Zheyu looked at the stake, which bore an imprint about half a centimeter deep.

"Stronger than expected; even at the peak of Qi Blood Two Transformations, I could only leave a three millimeter mark on the stake."

Lin Zheyu was slightly surprised.

He had thought that after perfecting the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon, his pure strength reaching the level of Qi Blood Two Transformations would be quite good.

He didn't expect to be stronger than Qi Blood Two Transformations, nearing Qi Blood Three Transformations.

After testing his physical strength, the power of Qi Blood surged, channeling into his right arm, activating the Qi and Blood Burst Skill, and a tremendous force erupted from his muscle.

Boom!

A tremendous roar sounded, and the iron birch stake, as hard as iron and stone, burst apart.

Upon perfecting the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon, the Qi Blood power he could withstand increased to an astonishing sixfold, just as he had expected.

"Six times the power of Qi Blood is the limit."

"Even if the defense improves further, using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill won't allow a greater explosion of Qi Blood strength."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He felt that with his current physique, the burst of a sixfold Qi Blood strength wasn't yet the limit.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't unleash a more formidable Qi Blood strength.

The Qi and Blood Burst Skill, which he learned from the Mountain Shattering Palm, had inherent limitations.

Its principles utilize unique techniques to enable the body to erupt with threefold Qi Blood power at once.

Subsequently, as Lin Zheyu's physique improved, the Qi Blood power that could erupt in a normal state increased.

Currently, after perfecting the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon, the Qi Blood power that could normally be unleashed had increased to about 2.2 times.

But using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill, the power that could be released after tripling only reached slightly over sixfold.

No matter how hard he tried to drive it, it just scattered and didn't convert into combat power.

"It's still not working; in order to continue increasing explosive power, I can only switch to a different Qi Blood Burst Skill."

Lin Zheyu tried once more, but he still couldn't surpass the sixfold limit.

This was still because his control over Qi Blood strength had reached a remarkably high level; for other Martial Artists, perhaps fourfold would be the maximum.

However, operating at full capacity to unleash the original sixfold power significantly consumed Qi Blood strength.
