After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Mo extinguished the bonfire he had lit and quickly left the area.
About an hour later!
Zhang Mo set up camp again by a river and took out the secret manual of Xuan Tie Shen.
This was an external martial art for tempering the body. Once it reached perfection, the body would be as strong as Xuan Tie, indestructible.
And this kind of skill usually involved years of hard training, making it perfect for his cheat.
【Life Essence Plundered: Two hundred and forty-nine years】
Zhang Mo glanced at the system panel and began to slowly infuse the Life Essence.
【Year One, you temper your body with secret methods, strengthening your flesh.】
【Year Five, your Qi and blood are like a furnace throughout your body, your physical strength has increased by nearly double, and your strength has soared.】
【Year Twenty, your tendons throughout your body are like dragons, Xuan Tie Shen is initially achieved.】
“It's truly a first-rate external martial art.”
Zhang Mo briefly stopped the infusion of Life Essence, only to feel that the strength throughout his body had undergone a drastic change.
Now, he was even a few points stronger than before when he used Dragon Elephant Strength.
“I wonder what it will be like when it reaches perfection?”
Looking at his remaining Life Essence, Zhang Mo felt a surge of wealth and began to continue the infusion.
【Year Twenty-five, your physique has entered a bottleneck, seemingly unable to break through.】
【Year Thirty, you push yourself to the limit in a near self-harming manner, finally reaching a breakthrough.】
【Year Sixty, after years of hard training, Xuan Tie Shen finally reaches perfection.】
Looking at the words in front of him, excitement spread across Zhang Mo's face.
Because he could feel the tremendous change in his body, as if his flesh and skin had turned into steel. Even through the process of learning by analogy, due to practicing Xuan Tie Shen, he had a deeper understanding of martial arts.
Then!
Zhang Mo continued the infusion.
【Year Eighty, your training becomes even more frenzied, several times bringing you to the brink of life and death.】
【Year One Hundred, after one training session, you sense your skin undergoing a transformation, and you are overjoyed.】
【Year One Hundred and Five, your body, after a century of tempering, has long transcended the realm of flesh and blood. Your Qi and blood are abundant like a furnace. In the eyes of ferocious beasts and demonic creatures, your body is the most nourishing tonic. Xuan Tie Shen reaches perfection.】
【Year One Hundred and Six, looking at the tattered Xuan Tie Shen manual, you begin to summarize your life's learnings.】
【Year One Hundred and Ten, during this time, you continuously strengthen your foundation, practicing the martial arts you have mastered, attempting to innovate, but due to limitations in aptitude, you make no progress.】
【Year One Hundred and Forty, a spark of inspiration finally flashes in your mind, as if you've realized something.】
Looking at the words in front of him, Zhang Mo's lips twitched slightly.
The monotonous training for over a hundred years was simply daunting to read, not to mention the pain of making no progress.
But he did not stop infusing the Life Essence because it seemed that he was about to reap the rewards.
【Year One Hundred and Sixty, you focus on Dragon Elephant Stance and Xuan Tie Shen, but you are unable to integrate them.】
【Year One Hundred and Eighty, you continuously prune and add to both martial arts, constantly experimenting, leaving you battered and injured.】
【Year Two Hundred, due to your training, your Qi and blood are in decline, as if you are near death.】
【Year Two Hundred and Ten, your body finally undergoes a slight change, causing a smile to appear on your face because your path is finally correct.】
【Year Two Hundred and Eleven, you finally integrate Dragon Elephant Stance and Xuan Tie Shen, creating the Dragon Elephant Xuan Tie Shen.】
【Remaining Life Essence Plundered: Thirty-eight years】
Feeling the knowledge that appeared in his mind, Zhang Mo's eyes grew even more excited.
This newly created external training method, although its grade was unknown, definitely had infinite potential.
Using Xuan Tie Shen and Dragon Elephant Stance as the foundation, it tapped into his fleshly power. With each breakthrough, his body would undergo another transformation.
Looking at his remaining Life Essence, Zhang Mo gritted his teeth and infused it all.
【Five years pass, you adjust your Qi and blood, finally restoring it to peak condition.】
【Year Ten, because Dragon Elephant Xuan Tie Shen was created by you, you easily achieve initial success. With each movement, you infuse the power of three dragons and three elephants.】
【Year Twenty, you continuously tap into the power of your flesh, training persistently, finally making your tendons like dragons and your flesh like diamond. Dragon Elephant Xuan Tie Shen reaches perfection, adding the power of six dragons and six elephants.】
【Year Thirty-five, the power of nine dragons and nine elephants are added to your body. Your skin is like an impenetrable diamond. Your Dragon Elephant Xuan Tie Shen finally reaches its peak, adding the power of nine dragons and nine elephants.】
【Host Life Essence: Eighty years】
【Life Essence Plundered: Three years】
Looking at the system panel, Zhang Mo's eyes lit up slightly.
He did not expect that Dragon Elephant Xuan Tie Shen would actually increase his life span by ten years.
In addition.
The biggest surprise was his current strength.
After Dragon Elephant Xuan Tie Shen reached perfection, it directly added the power of nine dragons and nine elephants to him, coupled with his original strength.
He now even wondered if a regular first-rate martial artist could withstand a casual punch from him.
“It's time to go back.”
Zhang Mo clenched his fist slightly, feeling the torrential power surging through his body.
This trip to the wilderness had increased his strength by dozens of times.
Returning the way he came, Zhang Mo also easily dealt with any ferocious beasts that jumped out to attack him, gaining some Life Essence.
When Zhang Mo returned to the city, seeing him with his bags full of stuff, the soldiers who had watched him leave were dumbfounded.
Damn...this kid actually came back alive, and it seems like he got quite a lot.
And at this moment, Zhang Mo had gone to a street in Tianfeng City.
Many shops here would buy rare herbs from the wild and materials from ferocious beasts.
Soon!
Zhang Mo sold off all of his loot from the wilderness, making over a million.
He now.
Could be considered a sudden millionaire.
With a large sum of money.
Zhang Mo immediately headed towards the commercial district.
This time, he had to get a first-rate inner martial arts skill no matter what.
Otherwise, the inner breath he had developed with his external martial arts was still too weak.
