Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 65 - 59: Breaking the Second Limit, Killer Whale Hand

Chapter 65: Chapter 59: Breaking the Second Limit, Killer Whale Hand

Second Limit Break!

Qin Shi’s eyes revealed a trace of longing; he had already tasted the sweetness of the path of breaking through the seven great limits of the Mortal Body.

One must understand that the development of Life Force is never achieved in one fell swoop.

It’s like leveling up in a game, with a single critical hit dealing 999 damage, filling the experience bar instantly.

Generally, even for a Martial God Level, it’s challenging to rapidly enhance Life Force in a short period.

Especially the sudden surge from a standard level of seven or eight points to breaking through the hundred-point barrier.

This defies common sense. freewёbnoνel.com

For the Martial Arts Path, the Mortal Body is the fundamental basis of everything.

Forcibly infusing it with external power is like pouring the water of a pond into a jug.

It would only burst the Mortal Body, leading it to gradually crumble!

This is why the Old Martial speaks of the seven great limits of the Mortal Body.

Through gradual tempering, breaking the shackles of the seven barriers, and freeing the body from its chains!

According to the ancient Buddhist Sect, this is called "strengthening one’s life essence, forging a treasury boat to cross the sea of suffering to the other shore."

"The benefits brought by each limit break are not just the current increase in Life Force. When you initially break through the Tendon Barrier, you gain Python Power; later on, you can further advance by tempering and refining to acquire ’Jiao Power’ and ’Dragon Power.’

Old Liang looked at Qin Shi sitting beside him with eyes full of anticipation, as if admiring a rare near-perfect treasure:

"The more great limits you break through, the greater the transformation of the Mortal Body, eventually accumulating and releasing in a surge, propelling you to higher levels of life, akin to the ’Saints,’ ’Buddhas,’ ’Immortals,’ and ’Dragons’ of ancient times."

Seeing Old Liang talk about the future of limit breaking, Qin Shi couldn’t help but show a look of yearning. Born in Old Factory Street, he had listened to radios, watched televisions since young, learning the names of the first-generation Ten Greats and their legendary deeds that shone like the Scorching Sun.

"Who would have thought that one day I would also walk the same path as them, an ancient road leading to the zenith of the Star Sea, almost reaching the gates of the Martial God Hall."

This feeling of dreams coming to reality truly filled one with joy.

These days, Old Liang had been constantly thinking about how to find an opportunity for his disciple’s Second Limit Break with the Mortal Body.

He slowly opened his mouth:

"Golden Ambrosia Burned Tendons is a commonly used ancient technique in the Old Era Martial Arts World. It so happens that I know Old Gu, who has a few bottles of authentic goods from Tianzhu, making this barrier easy to break.

The subsequent few great limits are more difficult. The relatively easier ones to complete should be the ’Bone Barrier’ and ’Skin Barrier.’

As the old saying goes, train the tendons, bones, and skin. If you can consecutively break these three barriers, gaining the ’Dragon Tendon, Tiger Bone, and Qilin Power’ from the Hong Sheng Sect is achieved."

Tendons, bones, skin!

Burning tendons to break the First Limit had already caused his Life Force to soar significantly.

If he were to break through three more barriers, wouldn’t he be flying high?

Qin Shi couldn’t help but want to rub his hands, puff out his chest, and show a resolute gaze:

"Master Liang, you can train me with all your might, don’t hold back just because I’m young!"

Old Liang was helpless; although his disciple’s talent and temperament might not dare to claim to be peerless, his proactive attitude was certainly unique.

He truly wanted to improve too much!

"See, you’re anxious again. Breaking the limits of the Mortal Body cannot be rushed. Preparations must be thorough; otherwise, it will only waste Spiritual effort and potential, affecting future achievements."

Old Liang admonished.

Qin Shi obediently nodded.

This aspect of the Old Martial put people at ease—the master was reliable, with no fear of going astray.

"Wait a few days. I’ll search around for a few ’materials’ for you."

Old Liang, while stroking his lame leg, pondered which old friend to contact for help.

Raising a disciple is more effort and money than raising a child!

As a poor teacher at Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School, just a few bottles of Golden Ambrosia were enough to empty out the household.

Not to mention other good things.

Either spend a lot of money or go running around scavenging.

Both aren’t easy tasks.

"Master Liang, I still have some money..."

Qin Shi proactively said.

Old Liang, although his face was full of "I have stories," probably had been influential in his younger days, but the glories of the past cannot be eaten.

The meager salary from Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School plus the extra income from tutoring classes probably wasn’t enough for his own expenses.

It’s said that in the Old Era, to learn as an apprentice, one had to be an errand boy for three years, a helper for two years, and serve diligently for fifteen years before being accepted.

And during holidays, it was essential to show filial respect, treating the master like a parent, otherwise, one wouldn’t learn real skills.

In contrast, he had neither paid tuition nor contributed anything, even eating nutritional paste for free.

Even the money for Golden Ambrosia was mostly paid by Old Liang.

A prime example of living off the elders!

Even Qin Shi felt bad and thought he should take out some savings.

So as not to let Old Liang go bankrupt, spending his own pension.

"At least you have a conscience. But many things cannot be bought with money, especially since Heng Province has been locked down for so many years, rare items that can develop Life Force are basically not available on the market."

Old Liang said with a gratified smile:

"Have you seen stores in the Urban Circle selling Energy Liquid and high-level minerals? Nutritional paste, High-Energy Food, and other supplements are sold as ’health products’ or ’civilian versions,’ and though they may have some effect, they are far inferior to the truly top-of-the-line special offerings."

Qin Shi mused; according to Old Liang, the richest external materials and grains in Dongxia were likely all monopolized by the Martial Arts Association, academies, and even the Three Ministries and Nine Departments.

To obtain sufficient resources, one must join them and become part of their system.

This is why all Heng Province students hope to get into the Four National Universities.

"That’s getting off track. You don’t need to worry about the materials for breaking the Second Limit; it won’t cost me much.

Bone Barrier is also known as Blood Barrier. The first step in bone refining is nourishing the blood. Only with abundant blood qi can the bones grow strong."

Old Liang seemed to think of a solution, smiling:

"In the Old Era, buying seven or eight hundred pounds of tiger and ox bones was quite expensive.

Nowadays, the livestock industry is developed, and the cost has dropped.

It’s just a matter of how much you can eat."

Eat?

Qin Shi was puzzled. Breaking the Bone Barrier depended on food intake?

"A robust physique is essential to breaking the Tendon Barrier.

A large appetite and ability to eat is an advantage for entering the Bone Barrier."

Old Liang smiled faintly, taking out a piece of steel rod from the four-wheel cart:

"But before attempting to break the limit, you must first learn the signature fighting technique from Hong Sheng Sect."

He set the steel rod, as thick as a wrist, on the cement ground, raised his right palm, and asked:

"Qin Shi, what level of Life Force do you think is needed to split this thing using only the body’s strength?"

Qin Shi glanced at it; if he used Qi Sensitivity, gathered all his strength, and struck forcefully, he could bend or break it.

But without using force, it would be quite challenging.

Old Liang said softly:

"Life Force values are not directly linked to combat strength. For instance, Spiritual Ability Users who cultivate their spirits generally have decent physical fitness, but without any defense, they could be killed instantly by a Martial Artist of the same level.

Martial Artists enhance Life Force through cultivation and use techniques to push and squeeze out bodily potential, especially some ’killing moves’ that come at the cost of damaging the body.

You have already entered the Spirit Nourishing Technique and have an initial understanding of ’As Swift as the Wind.’ Next, I’ll teach you how to refine this momentum into an offensive technique.

Watch closely!"

In the last seven words, Old Liang’s voice was like a bronze bell, like a roar.

The sound waves resonated deeply in Qin Shi’s eardrums, making them buzz.

Involuntarily, he widened his eyes, staring intently at Old Liang’s raised right palm.

Soon, he saw strands of "wind" being drawn, gently swirling and coiling.

It seemed like Old Liang held tiny wind eyes in his palm.

Next, the veins on Old Liang’s hand bulged like green snakes, stimulating blood flow, making the skin fuller and more vibrant. At a glance, it seemed to have enlarged by half!

Suddenly, airflow vibrated and the wind howled!

Qin Shi’s vision blurred, and Old Liang’s hand sliced across the steel rod like a cutting blade.

He could tell that this hand chop did not use much strength.

But by using the Refining Stance of a Hundred Aspects, the drawn airflow spun rapidly.

The strands of "wind" attached to the palm edge, like a blade’s edge.

In an instant, the steel rod was cut in half, its severed edge smooth and neat.

"The most signature killing move of Hong Sheng Sect..."

Qin Shi was slightly astonished. This technique was far beyond ordinary fist and kick techniques.

Using the palm as a blade, it exuded a chilling killing intent, each strike aiming to take life.

"Refining Stance of a Hundred Aspects, As Swift as the Wind, first move."

Old Liang withdrew his hand, his tone full of sentiment:

"——Killer Whale Hand!"
