Su Que channels the strengthened Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi through his meridians.
Feeling the majestic power of this True Qi, Su Que thinks: It's time to advance my martial arts realm.
As far as Su Que knows,
The martial arts realm, in essence, is a measure of a martial artist's physical fitness.
Advancing in martial arts realm is a process where a martial artist continually transforms their physical qualities and breaks human limits.
Therefore, the most direct manifestation of advancing in martial arts realm is the enhancement of physical strength, speed, reaction, and so on.
Martial arts, in essence, is the art of combat, including techniques of exertion, angles of strikes, etc.
In another sense, it's about how to utilize one's body.
Inner strength is the method of strengthening True Qi.
Cultivated True Qi can merge into the blood, forming Qi blood, enhancing martial arts realm, and further increasing the power of martial arts techniques.
According to Su Que's understanding,
The martial arts realm is fundamental, like the basic value mentioned in previous lives.
Martial arts and inner strength can amplify this basic value.
Su Que's current martial arts realm is the Qi Blood Realm.
The Qi Blood Realm has five levels, and he is at the fourth level, Four Blood Bone Forging.
This level requires stimulating Qi and blood, continuously tempering the bones, while using methods like striking and medicinal baths to harden the bones like iron.
"Alright, let's begin."
Su Que thought in his heart, then cleared his mind of all distractions and focused on the four types of inner Qi in his body.
- Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi, Red Fiend True Qi, Yin Wind Death Qi, and Profound Yin True Qi.
With a thought, the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi integrated the other three types of True Qi, forming a more formidable True Qi.
Then, he merged the True Qi into his blood.
Before training, he would always drink "Blood-Shocking Soup," so his blood was constantly in a rushing and boiling state.
At this moment, once the True Qi merged with the blood, the Qi blood surged and boiled even more intensely.
Subsequently, he directed the Qi blood towards the upper arm bone of his right hand.
When the Qi blood fully surged into his right hand, suddenly, the muscles of his right upper arm swelled.
The boiling Qi blood surged beneath his skin, causing it to flush a reddish hue.
Veins bulged prominently under the skin.
His right upper arm suddenly expanded, with muscles rising like rocks.
"Hmm?"
Su Que slightly opened his eyes, looking at his swollen right upper arm, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
But what he needed to do now was use Qi blood to temper his bones, so he suppressed that thought for the moment.
Intending to fully complete the "Four Blood Bone Forging" first, and then delve into it better.
Thus, he closed his eyes again, collecting his heart spirit, with a thought, the Qi blood suddenly pressed down, gathering towards the bones.
Immediately, the expanded right upper arm shrank back to normal.
Because his Qi blood contained four types of True Qi, which were immensely violent.
The four types of True Qi were like four hammers forging weapons, crashing into his bones.
Su Que's right arm suddenly emitted a series of dull thuds.
The four types of True Qi, extremely intense, tempered his bones, accelerating his Qi blood bone forging process.
Before even an hour passed, not only had he tempered the right upper arm bones, but also the forearm bones too.
Immediately, he continued directing the merged Qi blood with four True Qis towards his left hand.
The first bones tempered were the left upper arm bones.
When the Qi blood gathered in this place, his muscles filled with blood again, visibly swelling.
Muscles rose rock-like, with veins protruding like tiny snakes.
With his mind moving, the Qi blood compressed, gathering towards the bones, his swollen muscles returned to normal size.
In the next moment, muffled sounds echoed from several bones in his left upper arm again.
This was the four types of True Qi in his Qi blood, striking and tempering his bones.
After less than an hour again, Su Que had tempered all the bones in the left upper arm and forearm.
Su Que suddenly felt his two arms become light, with a powerful force seemingly contained within.
At that moment, without using True Qi, or unleashing the Seven Injuries Fist, he simply punched the ground with his bare fist!
With a booming sound.
The rock shattered, cracks spreading like a spider web, forming a pit in the ground instantly.
This is the raw strength of a martial artist after bone forging.
If combined with martial arts and inner strength, this power would be even more destructive.
Su Que estimated it was already late at night, so he wiped his sweat, dressed, and headed out of the cave, then ran all the way home.
For the next two nights, Su Que continued with his Qi blood bone forging.
Some noble family disciples, during Qi blood bone forging, often supplemented with medicinal baths and medicine to swiftly pass through this phase.
However, Su Que's Qi blood contained four types of True Qi, each with extremely malevolent power, either fierce, scorching, corrosive, or icy.
Under the alternating training of these four distinctive characteristics, Su Que's bones not only quickly met the requirements of Four Blood Bone Forging but also became harder than other martial artists' bones of the same realm.
And tonight, Su Que only had one final skull bone left to temper.
Su Que had heard from Jianghu people that the skull is often the most challenging to temper.
Because the skull is close to the human brain, when training Qi blood on the skull, if not careful, there's a high risk of damaging the brain.
Thus, martial artists tempering the skull are always cautious, not daring to wash the skull recklessly with Qi blood, resulting in slower training speeds.
However, Su Que's current talent value was 41 points, providing him with excellent aptitude and, in turn, superb control and precision.
Therefore, when he tempered the skull, he could control the Qi blood to just wash the skull without deviating and impacting the vulnerable brain.
Su Que immediately merged True Qi into his blood, forming Qi blood, and directed it towards his skull.
Due to the Qi blood rushing to his head, his face flushed with a jujube red color.
After more than an hour, Su Que suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled gently, and the jujube red color on his face faded.
He had finally completed the skull tempering, advancing past the "Four Blood Bone Forging" realm, and successfully reaching the "Five Blood Refining Viscera" realm.
His five viscera had already been toughened through cultivating the Seven Injuries Fist.
At this moment, as he used Qi blood to train the five viscera, it only took the time of an incense stick to complete the "Five Blood Refining Viscera."
Thus, he became a Peak of Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist.
"What is the next realm after the Qi Blood Realm, and how should it be cultivated?"
At this time, Su Que's heart once again harbored this question.
He had previously inquired at inns and gambling houses.
But those he asked were all First-Blood and Second-Blood Martial Artists, with levels too low to understand matters of this realm.
"Maybe, I should ask the city's Martial Arts Hall..."
"Or perhaps, ask Bai Wuji; as a Five Blood Martial Artist, he should know..."
Su Que thought to himself.
