Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 395: Chapter 203: Literary Dao Dharma Aspect

Ever since setting foot on the path of Martial Arts Cultivation, Chen Cheng had trained relentlessly, through wind and rain, heat and cold. His goal was to become stronger, to secure a place for himself in this chaotic world.

From knowing only a few crude Scattering Hand Techniques, he progressed through the Beginner Level, Small Success, Great Success, and Perfection stages of the Skin Grinding Realm. Afterward, he advanced to the Muscle Strengthening Realm, his cultivation steady and solid every step of the way.

Time and again, his Martial Arts Power had ascended to new heights.

Each improvement filled him with a sense of fulfillment and confidence—a truly wonderful feeling.

Sometimes, Chen Cheng would wake in the middle of the night, questioning his heart. He’d get the strange feeling that perhaps he wasn’t Cultivating the Martial Dao just for the sake of becoming stronger.

Rather, he was addicted to the ultimate thrill that followed!

This was the very charm of the Martial Dao!

Only those who were completely dedicated to Martial Arts Cultivation could truly experience this feeling.

In this world, there exists a type of Martial Artist whose focus far surpasses that of ordinary people. In their eyes and in their hearts, there is only Martial Arts Cultivation.

They were so focused, in fact, that they became completely clueless about anything outside of Martial Arts Cultivation.

They are often called Martial Fools!

Before he began Cultivating the Martial Dao, Chen Cheng never quite understood the concept of a Martial Fool. Logically, both innate talent and comprehension were indispensable for Martial Arts Cultivation.

Only those with exceptional talent and comprehension could advance to the highest Realms.

But those with exceptional comprehension were invariably brilliant and exceedingly intelligent. How could such people be completely clueless about matters outside of Martial Arts Cultivation?

However, after increasing his own Martial Arts Power time and again, Chen Cheng slowly came to a profound understanding of what it meant to be a Martial Fool.

’Aren’t these people just so captivated by the ultimate thrill of increasing their Martial Arts Power that they can’t pull themselves away?’

Given the level of focus Chen Cheng dedicated to Cultivating the Martial Dao, he was actually well on his way to becoming a Martial Fool himself.

If he were in a stable environment, with no need to worry about his daily expenses or personal safety...

This tendency might very well have become a reality.

After all, the feeling of one’s Martial Arts Power increasing was just too exhilarating! It was simply irresistible!

And now, having advanced to Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, this exhilaration far surpassed anything he had felt before!

’Wait, that’s not right. Logically, the boost to my strength from cultivating the First Layer of Great Power Realm was far greater than this advancement from Small Success to Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm. Later on, fusing Cultivation Techniques, cultivating the Qingfeng Saber Intent, and comprehending the Wind Chasing Youth Demon-Slaying Map were also massive improvements.

But I’ve only ever felt this ultimate exhilaration this specific time!

Could it be that the exhilaration from strengthening one’s physical body is just more direct?’

Amidst his joy, Chen Cheng grew pensive. He immediately calmed his mind to perceive the improvements and changes he had undergone after reaching Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm.

After a long while, a keen light flashed in Chen Cheng’s eyes as he seemed to have an epiphany.

The most obvious improvement for a Bone Forger Realm Martial Artist compared to one in the Muscle Strengthening Realm is the strengthening and solidifying of their bones.

At Small Success in the Bone Forging Realm, as the bones strengthen, they form a tighter connection with the Major Tendons throughout the body. The circulation of Qi Blood Power allows the bones to mobilize the Major Tendons to exert force, reaching a state where tendons and bones resonate in unison.

At this level, one can begin to unleash the might of their Inner Strength. The Power becomes tyrannical, ferocious, and more penetrating.

Upon reaching Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, however, there is another massive improvement. The bones throughout the body strengthen even further.

Every time one exerts force by circulating their Qi Blood, it’s no longer just a resonance of tendon and bone, but a natural, explosive crackling, like popping beans.

The Inner Strength they unleash is even more ferocious and domineering, yet also more stable.

’I reached Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm because I cultivated the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill, an Inner Breath Method.

It focuses on using Qi Blood Power to nourish and strengthen the bones throughout the body.

As a result, at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, all the bones in my body have been strengthened to a very complete and perfect state.

Other Bone Forger Realm Martial Artists, on the other hand, typically just use Body Tempering Methods. Because of this, there are discrepancies in how the bones throughout their bodies absorb and refine medicinal power.

Even when they reach Great Success, important bones like the skull and vertebrae are difficult to fully cultivate to that level.

All things considered, the bones throughout my body must be far more stable than those of other Martial Artists at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm.

In short, even though we’re both at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, mine is bigger and fuller. That’s why it feels so damn good!

It’s a natural, heaven-sent advantage. It’s like I was born able to piss ten meters against the wind, while other Martial Artists never could!

Unless they also first cultivate some Inner Breath Technique to Great Success.

The Major Sects in the State City should have Inner Breath Techniques, but those were gradually replaced by Body Tempering Techniques precisely because their Cultivation Progress is so slow.

It’s only because I have my panel’s bonus that my cultivation is this smooth and fast!

How could anyone else cultivating an Inner Breath Technique possibly keep up with my progress?

Now, by first using the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill—an Inner Breath Method—to reach Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, I’ve laid an incredibly solid foundation.

If I then cultivate the Dragon Elephant Bone Forging Technique, I’m almost certain I can reach the absolute pinnacle of the Bone Forging Realm—cultivating the flawless Venerable Jade Bone!

Although my lack of Low Grade Bone Tempering Pills delayed my Cultivation Progress with the Dragon Elephant Bone Forging Technique... it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, making my foundation in the Bone Forging Realm even more solid and stable!

Excellent, excellent! Simply marvelous!’

Chen Cheng clapped his hands in admiration. His body flickered into motion, executing the Wandering Dragon Step Technique to its absolute limit, his form blurring into a series of afterimages.

With each wave of his claws, every single move of his Powerful Eagle Claw Skill was executed with extreme ferocity!

VMM! VMM! VMM!

Relying solely on his physique at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, his Powerful Claw Stance filled the small courtyard with the roar of wind and the crackle of thunder.

It was ferocious and domineering to an incredibly tyrannical degree!

And this was the result of him deliberately suppressing his aura, not wanting to cause too much of a commotion!

Otherwise, if Chen Cheng were to unleash his full power, he feared he could tear down the entire County Yamen with his Powerful Claw Stance alone!
