Stronger from Earth-Chapter 36 - 316: Limit

Wang Xuan sensed his body, feeling a distinct difference after achieving Perfection in the Golden Bell Shield. The transformation into a golden figure after activating the technique was just an external manifestation; internally, his physique had undergone significant changes.

The refined body soak, with all its essence integrated into his body, and the nutrients from the Violent Dragon Potion were perfectly absorbed, transforming into subcutaneous fat. This special layer of fat not only greatly defended against external attacks but also against True Qi Internal Power.

With this fat, even if Wang Xuan didn’t eat for ten days to half a month and only drank water, by consuming high-energy compressed fat, he could still maintain his body at Peak state.

After activating the internal power of the Golden Bell Shield, a thin defensive layer formed on his skin, resembling a bell made of steel, greatly enhancing his defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, the Golden Bell Shield at Perfection not only enhanced his skin and flesh defenses but also refined the membrane between the skin and flesh, flesh and organs, organs and bones, enhancing the connection between each part of the body.

This enhancement was comprehensive; even though the power increase was slight, his physical functions had doubled from before!

"Check personal panel," Wang Xuan silently chanted, and the accelerator appeared instantly.

Name: Wang Xuan

Age: Twenty-four

Height: 1.82 meters

Weight: 100 kilograms

... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Cultivation Skills: Overlord Saber Perfection (accelerable), Mixed Element Stance Perfection (accelerable), Life Generating Technique Layer Four (accelerable), Golden Bell Shield Perfection (accelerable)...

Source Points: 513

Following the ellipsis were numerous skills of lesser importance, which, when clicked open, appeared as: Perfect Bow Pulling Skill (accelerable), Bone Shrinking Skill Perfection (accelerable), Puffing Technique Perfection (accelerable), Fierce Bull Fist Great Success (accelerable), Wind-Chasing Leg Introduction (accelerable)

Seeing the drastically consumed Source Points, Wang Xuan felt a bit helpless, as Mixed Element Stance and Golden Bell Shield Perfection alone consumed 300 Source Points, and Life Generating Technique Layer Four took up 200 Source Points.

However, these consumptions were worthwhile; at the very least, Wang Xuan felt his foundation was very solid, just like how skyscrapers start from the ground.

"This time, I’ve absorbed a large amount of the Body Tempering Liquid essence and Violent Dragon Potion, directly advancing to Golden Bell Shield Perfection; how is this different from not absorbing any drugs?"

Wang Xuan pondered; this time, his body wasn’t damaged at all. If others who also practiced Horizontal Training Method knew, they’d be staring wide-eyed.

Because this was simply unbelievable; Horizontal Training Method was often injury-prone, leaving internal injuries.

"Could it be that these added nutrients advanced the Golden Bell Shield considerably without me noticing?"

The Golden Bell Shield had reached Perfection, the intended efficacy of the technique’s creator, like a university student’s requirement of passing the college entrance exam.

Wang Xuan looked at the term "Golden Bell Shield Perfection (accelerable)" with uncertainty, wondering why, despite reaching Perfection, the accelerator could still be used.

"Actually, this technique can still be improved," Wang Xuan contemplated; the sign of Golden Bell Shield Perfection was one’s resemblance to a golden bell. Now, when he activated the technique, he shone like a golden figure.

Adjusting another tank of Body Tempering Liquid for a soak and consuming two to three liters of Violent Dragon Potion, he clicked the accelerator, enhancing one unit at a time.

He continued to accelerate until the words "Golden Bell Shield Perfection (accelerable)" disappeared from his personal panel, and only then did Wang Xuan stop.

In fact, even if he wanted to accelerate further, there was no option available; the original acceleration box had vanished.

"So, this is the true Perfection of the Golden Bell Shield."

When Wang Xuan operated the Golden Bell Shield, the golden flash was gone, and he appeared like an ordinary person. His skin was as smooth and white as jade, surpassing even those beauty-conscious women.

His skin, like condensed snow and jade fat, completely eliminated his ferocious aura, disguised so well that people would not suspect he knew martial arts.

At this moment, there wasn’t even a rough callus, let alone a scar; he resembled a newborn.

Such a state of the Golden Bell Shield, Wang Xuan rarely heard about; only some Martial Arts Masters in the Blood Exchange Realm and even cultivators in the Meridian Opening Realm might possess it.

"The Golden Bell Shield above Perfection can’t be improved further; it has reached the theoretical Limit Realm of this technique. To break through further, one must practice a more profound Horizontal Training Method."

Beyond this Perfection should be called the Limit, beyond improvement, with no further progress possible!

And cultivating to the Limit of the Golden Bell Shield consumed 113 Source Power Points, which was probably thanks to the vast amounts of Body Tempering Liquid and Violent Dragon Potion; apparently, these drugs indeed helped him save a lot of Source Power Points.

It was merely the afternoon, and Chen Qingniu was still practicing punches. The sudden appearance of an old smoker unknown to the Martial Arts Hall members made them unclear of his identity or background.

They only knew He the Sixth had a high status and Cultivation Level; otherwise, he wouldn’t be instructing Chen Qingniu’s cultivation.

Especially hearing the term "mentor" invoked their reverence, suggesting Chen Qingniu’s mentor’s Cultivation Level must be exceedingly high.

How high? A few stories high? They truly didn’t know.

Logging onto the writer’s homepage, Wang Xuan checked and found his new book "Era King" was recommended, with collections reaching five to six thousand, an excellent performance.

The first to reward him was a reader named "Yingying," whose behavior and words resembled a woman’s—of course, she herself claimed to be a woman.

Miss Yingying sent a private message: "Yingyingying, can you reserve a spot for me as a female lead? Can her name be Yingying, please?"

While other readers only asked for extra roles, Wang Xuan didn’t expect someone named "Yingying" to want the leading female character.

What a joke; he hadn’t even decided whether to have a female protagonist yet, so where would this spot come from?

"Sorry, Yingying doesn’t seem suitable for a protagonist’s name. It sounds somewhat like a young girl or a little lolita. By the way, Yingying, how old are you this year?" Wang Xuan politely declined.

Soon, the reader replied: "Yingying is upset, humph! I’m already a hundred years old, definitely a maiden, not a little lolita!"

Wang Xuan was speechless; fine, regardless of age, anyone could be a Baby, let alone claim to be a maiden.

Thus concluded the talk, evident was the obsession of this self-claimed "maiden" named "Yingying" with the novel, eager to become the key female character.

A day passed in a blink, and the next morning, after Wang Xuan stood in the Posture Stance and practiced punching, he headed to the Martial Arts Hall, where Senior Brother Qingniu was also present.

Lately, he had been diligently practicing, with He the Sixth observing and instructing, causing Senior Brother Qingniu to progress enormously, changing almost daily.

"Senior Brother Qingniu, I’ve come to challenge you," Wang Xuan eagerly announced. "Old man, if I win, can I enjoy what Senior Brother experienced yesterday?"

He the Sixth lazily reclined in the rocking chair, casually stating, "No problem, as long as you can win, withstand my punch."

Wang Xuan was overjoyed; yesterday, Chen Qingniu had told him that the beating had resulted in thorough physical transformation, fortifying the foundation greatly.

If even the almost Earth Immortal Chen Qingniu gained so much, then for Wang Xuan, wouldn’t it be even more beneficial?

The old man’s punch was not just a beating; it represented a rare opportunity. Given a chance, Wang Xuan would naturally compete for it.

Experiencing the Golden Bell Shield at the Limit Realm, such defensive capability, Wang Xuan was confident he could survive an attack from a cultivator in the Blood Exchange Realm, and Chen Qingniu, whose power was restricted to the same level, couldn’t break through it.
