Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 105 - 96: Defeating the Cyan-Faced Bat King, Fusion Martial Arts! (First Update)

Ninth Grade Refining Force, Eighth Grade Bone Forging, and Seventh-Grade Yijin are the first major barrier for martial artists, collectively known as the Body Tempering Realm.

The world says: Lengthen the tendons by half an inch, and increase power by tenfold!

The muscle-enhancing martial artist's flesh is refined from the inside out; skin, flesh, bones, and meridians are repeatedly tempered by power. This is the enhancement every martial artist achieves after advancing to Yijin.

The Seventh Grade is already standing at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. Therefore, among them, the outstanding ones will begin the transformation of their spirit after tempering their bodies to a certain extent.

This subtle difference is the distinction between ordinary Seventh Grade and top-notch Seventh Grade!

Three years ago, Wei Ming had already touched this threshold and after joining the Black Mountain Army, under the guidance of the Celestial King, he fully stepped into it.

In combat, he locks onto his enemy with spiritual power. No matter how the enemy evades or maneuvers, he can capture their movements instantly, even predicting their next moves to a certain extent.

"What exactly is that power?"

Faced with Wei Ming's shockingly powerful sleeve whip, Su Mu firmly planted his feet on the ground. Without arrogance, he willed his muscles to squirm and subtly rise, then retract again, marking him as having achieved small success in Vajra Body.

And when they expanded and contracted, the density of flesh increased, becoming more compact and powerful, returning to simplicity—this marks the touch of the Realm of Perfection in Vajra Body.

After mastering Pill Force, Su Mu manipulates his Qi Blood like an extension of his limbs. These processes finish instantaneously within one breath, appearing to Wei Ming as if there is no change.

At the same time, Su Mu mobilizes his inner power, the Strength Pill in his dantian trembles, and the power dragons surge forth.

For a moment, the hidden sound of dragon roars resounds.

The invisible cage of sleeve whip binding Su Mu is shattered by the power dragons within instantly, Su Mu clenches his left fist and strikes.

A great wind rises.

The Fist Force of Perfection Gale Fist extends three feet, Pill Force meets the Transforming Force on the sleeve whip.

Boom!

Pill Force suddenly explodes.

Hmm?

Cyan-Faced Bat King's expression suddenly changes. He had locked onto Su Mu at the start with spiritual power, but never anticipated this display of Pill Force.

For a moment, he is shocked. The Transforming Force he mastered could even dissolve martial arts of the same level, yet it directly collapsed against this peculiar force.

This strange power seemed akin to firearms detonating, its destructive nature astonishing. Wei Ming had never seen it before. Immediately, Wei Ming chose to halt his attack, leaping backward, vanishing in a gust of eerie wind.

"Kid, who exactly are you?"

"Just a nobody."

Su Mu answered, inwardly mocking how this Cyan-Faced Bat King, one of the Four Protectors of the Black Mountain Rebel Army, was so cautious, choosing to avoid confrontation at the sight of Pill Force.

Unlike previous opponents Su Mu faced, this kind of person is more troublesome to Su Mu.

"Hmph, once I capture you, I have a hundred ways to make you speak."

Wei Ming coldly huffed, unwilling to approach Su Mu easily. He spun his long sleeve like opening a Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, with hidden killing intent surging in the wind.

Unfortunately, Su Mu had already seen this move from the shadows.

"Shoo shoo shoo!"

Under the infusion of Transforming Force, dozens of steel needles rained down on Su Mu like a Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. Su Mu recalled the tragic state of Gongsun Hu but did not dodge.

Witnessing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Wei Ming's eyes. The Su Mu before him was different from the earlier Gongsun Hu, who only took hits. Su Mu had already displayed Lightweight Skill, rescuing someone right under Wei Ming's nose, showing remarkable Lightweight Skill.

Then why didn't this person dodge?

Unable to comprehend it, Wei Ming let the thought go, seizing the opportunity to finish him off. A disciple of Vajra Temple couldn't withstand the combined Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle infused with Transforming Force and Kasaya Skill, let alone this unknown person.

Roar!

Amidst the resounding Tiger Roar, a Golden Bell appeared, far larger than the one cast by Gongsun Hu.

Vajra Body and Vajra Protection!

"Damn... are you from Vajra Temple too?" Wei Ming's expression changed. He had heard that those bald disciples from Vajra Temple were very protective.

If provoked, those monks wouldn't speak of mercy for all beings but would mention Vajra's Furious Gaze.

Unexpectedly, today he encountered this. After hitting the small one, an elder immediately appeared.

The same Vajra Body in this person's hands was several times stronger than in Gongsun Hu's, at least a Great Success, maybe close to Realm of Perfection Vajra Body. But in his impressions, Vajra Temple didn't have such a person.

As the Tiger Roar echoed through the forest, Gongsun Hu in the academy suddenly shuddered, and with hesitation and joy, he looked towards the back mountain.

"Such a majestic bell and tiger roar... Could it be an elder is intervening?"

Ding ding ding!

Hundreds of steel needles poured down on the Golden Bell, creating a burst of sparks and a continuous sound of metal clashing. Yet, these steel needles couldn't pierce Su Mu's flesh, nor touch his skin, entirely blocked inches out by the Golden Bell.

Suspended in mid-air.

The next moment, Su Mu struck with a palm through the air.

The Golden Bell accelerated its rotation, and the Transforming Force on the suspended needles instantly shattered, replaced by Su Mu's Pill Force. Under its infusion, each needle instantly changed direction, pouring towards Wei Ming.

Wei Ming's reaction was extraordinarily swift, as soon as the Golden Bell accelerated, he sensed the anomaly, leaping backward and transforming into a Cyan-winged Bat, maneuvering through the forest.
