Chapter 3

"Self-created cultivation technique... Is it because I successfully deduced the Body Tempering Technique that the system was activated, and the naming is now complete? Will there be a reward for completing it?"

Yang An pondered, what should he call it?

"First Body Tempering Technique in the World?

Invincible Body Tempering Technique?

A bit vulgar...

Dao Ancestor, Dao Ancestor, with such a high-end and prestigious system name, my cultivation technique can't be too vulgar either...

This is derived from the ancient Body Tempering Technique, the Body Tempering Technique practiced by the little fool, and various basic martial arts. It's no longer a simple Body Tempering Technique. So, let's call it the Ancient Golden Body Technique? Technique seems a bit low-end, let's call it a Secret! It will be called the Ancient Golden Body Secret!"

The moment Yang An decided on the name, the data panel changed—

Dao Coins: 10

Realm: Body Tempering Ninth Layer

Vitality: 91 Cards+

Spirit: 100~300 Hz (MAX)

Self-created Cultivation Technique: Basic Body Tempering Technique "Ancient Golden Body Secret"

The self-created cultivation technique rewarded 10 Dao Coins!

"Based on my experience as a game genius, when encountering a 9, it's usually a checkpoint. Vitality 99 Cards to 100 Cards is a checkpoint. The plus sign can't be used casually; who knows how many Dao Coins it takes to increase by one Card... Well, the system is just an auxiliary. What truly matters is relying on oneself! In this life, I, the young master, will experience true cultivation! To be the strongest and invincible at the same level! 100 Cards of Vitality is definitely not the limit of the Body Tempering Realm. Otherwise, my spirit wouldn't be able to burst to 300 Hz... This requires cultivation to improve!"

A skyscraper rises from the ground, the foundation is the most critical!

This, Yang An, who always strives to be the best and the first in everything, couldn't be unaware of.

Taking a deep breath, Yang An sprang up and began to cultivate the "Ancient Golden Body Secret" he had deduced.

Fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, footwork, body techniques...

Under the mysterious circulation of vitality, Yang An progressed from being unfamiliar to proficient.

Immersed in it, he continuously tried, never tiring.

His posture was far from graceful, often just a simple, mechanical repetition of a certain movement.

But the condensed vitality grew stronger and stronger.

Even Uncle Fu, who occasionally appeared nearby, was amazed.

It was incomprehensible and awe-inspiring!

Yang An never hesitated when it came to things he was determined to do, especially his dreams.

Number 1 is 99% effort and 1% talent. Many people's efforts are far from reaching the level where they can compete with others based on talent.

Yang An's talent was so high that a little effort often allowed him to achieve heights that others couldn't reach even with ten or a hundred times the effort.

The truth is, many talented people are not lazy, but—

Their talent isn't high enough!

What's even more terrifying is being highly talented and working harder than others.

Yang An didn't realize that what he was doing was so unimaginable and crazy to others.

He forgot about time,不分昼夜.

Except for eating, drinking, and using the restroom, he was always in cultivation.

He repeatedly pushed his physical body to its limits, re-tempering the muscles and tendons that the little fool had already tempered.

The degree of tempering increased, and the cultivation technique gradually became instinctive. The basic martial arts he combined became smoother and more perfect.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day.

The strongest academy in Baiyun County, Baiyun Academy, also began its enrollment test in Qing Shui County.

On this day, early in the morning, Yang Chaoshou arrived at Yang An's courtyard.

Seeing Yang An in cultivation, he immediately frowned: "Xiao An, what are you cultivating? It's all a mess!"

Yang An was startled, sweating all over, and stopped: "Grandfather, why are you here?"

"Ten days! Little brat, didn't you forget our agreement?" Yang Chaoshou's face was not good. From a distance, he saw Yang An like a madman, although he was vigorous, it was completely without any method. The techniques he was cultivating were not the Yang Family's martial arts, nor the Qing Shui Academy's cultivation techniques. Was this the time to cultivate martial arts and techniques? What about the promised Body Tempering breakthrough?

Although he didn't have much hope, it was a matter of attitude, and Yang Chaoshou was very angry.

"Uh... It's already been ten days?"

Yang An was suddenly enlightened.

"Rubbish! What about the Bone Tempering Realm?"

"Right away, Grandfather, give me half an hour!"

Yang An turned and quickly walked towards his bedroom.

"Xiao An, what's the point of delaying? Wake up! Grandfather knows your thoughts and has even put aside his dignity to fight for you, but unfortunately, just two days ago, Mu Wan'er clearly rejected Grandfather's proposal..."

Yang An stopped, slightly frowning.

After a moment of contemplation, he slowly turned to look at Yang Chaoshou: "Grandfather, at most half an hour."

Saying this, Yang An walked into the room and slammed the door shut.

He seemed very angry!

Yang Chaoshou was stunned. Was the foolish grandson hit too hard?

What Yang Chaoshou didn't know was that Yang An was also stunned. Well, he wasn't really angry or feeling any impact. It wasn't intentional; his strength had surged, and he hadn't controlled it well.

However...

Ten days.

Mu Wan'er still hadn't returned, and she had rejected Grandfather's proposal?

What was Grandfather's proposal?

Yang An didn't need to think to know.

Ha ha...

No impact, but a little heartache.

Even though it was the little fool's heartache, at this moment, Yang An was the little fool...

Not entirely, but ultimately, he was.

With the soul and memory merged, this was something Yang An couldn't change, especially the influence of the "licking dog" attribute. The little fool wouldn't give up until he recognized reality, influenced by his obsession.

"Ah..."

Yang An sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and checked the panel:

Dao Coins: 10

Realm: Body Tempering Ninth Layer

Vitality: 199 Cards+

Spirit: 100~400 Hz (MAX)

Self-created Cultivation Technique: Basic Body Tempering Technique "Ancient Golden Body Secret"

Vitality had surged more than double!

The checkpoint from 99 Cards to 100 Cards could break the realm and enter the Bone Tempering Realm, but Yang An had already broken through long ago and had already increased to 199 Cards. However, he hadn't started the realm breakthrough yet!

With the increase in vitality, the peak burst of spirit power also increased by 100 points!

Yang An was very satisfied.

"It should be at the limit! It seems to be even stronger than my Body Tempering Realm in my second life! Breaking through the 199 Cards checkpoint will naturally lead to the Bone Tempering Realm! Should I use the plus sign or use Vitality Pills to break through?"

Relying on condensed vitality to break through the realm in one go was clearly impossible; Yang An didn't have the time.

Either rely on the system or rely on pills.

"Dao Coins can only be obtained by creating cultivation techniques, which is difficult! So, let's use Vitality Pills. External aids are easier to obtain. If external aids can be used, use them. These Dao Coins should be saved for critical moments!"

Vitality Pills are basic cultivation resources, and his monthly allowance was three Vitality Pills.

At Yang An's realm, it was enough for his usual cultivation. Unfortunately, he had no surplus, as he had given all the previous ones to Mu Wan'er. At this moment, he only had six Vitality Pills left, which were to be used with the Realm Breakthrough Pill. But the little fool had secretly kept them, wanting to give them to Mu Wan'er.

A thorough "licking dog."

Otherwise, if the effects of Vitality Pills and Realm Breakthrough Pills had been combined, even if the breakthrough had failed, it wouldn't have led to the little fool's soul being shattered and unable to recover.

Of course, if that had happened, there wouldn't have been Yang An's穿越.

Swallowing six Vitality Pills in one go, Yang An cut off all distractions.

He began to condense vitality and break through the realm.

The six Vitality Pills entered his dantian, and under the influence of Yang An's far superior mental power, they immediately ignited, transforming into a rolling heat, rapidly condensing, compressing, and slowly rotating.

The mysterious aura instantly gathered the vitality in the muscles and tendons, which had been tempered to 100%, continuously into the dantian.

The blood qi in the dantian became more and more abundant and refined.

"Zizi, papapa..."

The muscles and tendons began to twitch, emitting strange sounds.

This was the beginning of the transformation.

A moment later, Yang An's mind "boomed."

The vitality finally broke through the 199 Cards checkpoint, and the instant the restriction shattered, it surged like a river breaking its dam, quickly rising to 232 Cards.

At this moment, the extremely refined blood qi in Yang An's dantian began to split into strands.

Yang An knew that the realm breakthrough was about to begin. The number of strands of blood qi in the dantian would determine how many bones would be infused with blood qi. Yang An remembered that in his second life, when he broke through, he infused 154 bones, 126 limb bones completely, and 28 trunk bones. This was an extremely rare situation; for most people, being able to infuse the lower or upper limb bones at once was already quite good.

How many bones could he infuse this time?

Yang An was very excited.

The refined blood qi in the dantian split into strands at an astonishing speed, quickly exceeding 154 strands, but showed no signs of stopping. By the time it reached 206 strands, Yang An was shocked.

Although he was sure this breakthrough would be stronger than in his second life, he hadn't expected...

206!

There are 206 bones in an adult's body!

What does this mean?

"Am I freaking awesome or what?"

At the moment of breakthrough, 206 bones were infused with blood qi, completing the transformation of the entire body!

...

Outside the door, Yang Chaoshou shook his head and sighed, his face full of helplessness.

"Lord, did Wan'er... really reject your proposal?" Li Qingfu appeared beside Yang Chaoshou, his expression gloomy.

"Surprised, aren't you?" Yang Chaoshou said with a hint of self-mockery.

"Surprised indeed! The Yang Family has treated her well, especially the young master..."

"It's not entirely her fault. Blame Xiao An for not being up to the task. And that Chen family boy is too outstanding." Yang Chaoshou waved his hand.

"No, it's her lack of discernment. Lord, the young master is different!"

Fu Bo said angrily.

"Hmm? Different? Yes, he doesn't seem as foolish..."

"Lord, I'm not talking about that. You haven't had the time to see the young master these past few days. In just ten days, the strength he has shown has become increasingly powerful, leaving me in disbelief. Although I can't see what he is cultivating, it's indeed without any method. But... Lord, take a closer look at the training ground!"

Fu Bo pointed to the small training ground in the courtyard.

Yang Chaoshou was slightly puzzled and walked towards the training ground out of curiosity.

"What... What is this?"

Yang Chaoshou drew a sharp breath, his eyes wide with shock.
