Stronger from Earth-Chapter 40: Advancement

Before today, Wang Xuan had used eight or nine hundred Source Points, consuming them very quickly. Of course, the foundation he laid was also solid enough.

However, once he has been reborn, the speed of cultivating his techniques will increase even further. If the Fierce Bull Fist used to take two years to reach the Perfect Realm and consume over a hundred Source Points, now it would only take a few months.

The accelerator consumes Source Points, enabling his cultivation skills to accelerate, with one point being equivalent to seven days of effect. It is quite miraculous. When his cultivation talent and realm are improved, the consumption of Source Points will naturally decrease.

Wang Xuan clicked on the Wind-Chasing Leg and found that accelerating to Minor Achievement required eight Source Points, which was indeed only two-fifths of before. If the Violent Dragon Potion was used to accelerate bit by bit, it would probably only need one-third of the previous consumption.

Although the consumption of Source Points has reduced, it was not to the extent he imagined. His cultivation speed surpassed the previous five to ten times, yet the accelerator did not reflect this.

Wang Xuan speculated that the activation of the accelerator itself consumed Source Points, and this proportion did not change with his talent, whereas accelerating his cultivation and martial skills similarly consumed Source Points.

"Wind-Chasing Leg Entry Level (Can Accelerate). Acceleration to Minor Achievement requires consuming eight Source Points. Do you wish to accelerate?"

Wang Xuan clicked to accelerate while drinking the Violent Dragon Potion. He didn’t choose to increase his realm but opted for accelerating unit by unit. When he elevated this martial art to the Perfect Realm, he consumed fifty-seven units of Source Points, and there were still many Violent Dragon Potions left.

In this way, it also proved that his cultivation speed had indeed increased greatly from before, with Source Point consumption being only one-third to two-fifths of the original.

"With the Wind-Chasing Leg in the Perfect Realm, such Lightweight Technique, my speed should improve significantly," Wang Xuan thought.

He stood up, took a stride, moving and weaving through the living room, his actions as graceful as the wind, his speed not inferior to the average cultivator at the Organ Refining stage, far surpassing before.

After raising the Bone Strengthening Technique to the Limit, he considered himself to have completed the Muscle Strengthening Realm. How could average people enhance the Muscle Strengthening Technique to such an extent? Achieving Perfection is already quite commendable.

And his Perfect Bow Pulling Skill, moreover, pushed the Bone Strengthening Technique to the Limit. With the dual techniques advancing, his foundation was not something others could compare to.

"To advance to the Skin Refining Realm requires cultivating the Skin Membrane Technique, stimulating the body’s Primordial Qi, connecting the skin membrane, reaching every pore. Primordial Qi tempering the skin membrane enhances its toughness, significantly boosting its impact resistance."

Thanks to reaching the Limit with the Golden Bell Shield, his progress in skin membrane refinement was great, but it did not include the comprehensive improvement from practicing the Skin Membrane Technique, which had some distinctions.

Even if just the difference between the left hand and the right hand, Wang Xuan would not overlook it, instead pursuing perfection.

"Skin Membrane Technique Entry Level (Can Accelerate). Acceleration to Minor Achievement requires consuming two Source Points. Would you like to accelerate?" The Limit Realm of the Golden Bell Shield laid a substantial foundation for the Skin Membrane Technique, mostly overlapping, so the consumption of Source Points was not much.

Wang Xuan would not hesitate; he clicked acceleration for the realm. After consuming seventeen units of Source Points, his Skin Membrane Technique successfully advanced to the Perfect Realm.

The refinement of the skin membrane reached every corner, its toughness seemingly enhanced slightly. In connecting layers of the body, from skin membrane to muscles and internal organs, the exchange speed of nutrients and the flow rate of Qi Blood increased noticeably.

"Accelerate to the Limit Realm." Wang Xuan immediately accelerated, even though he was already at the Peak of Skin Refining. He still desired to reach the pinnacle beyond the peak, his own limit.

The accelerator activated, consuming twenty units of Source Points. A warm current flowed from his mind throughout his body, rapidly operating the Skin Membrane Technique, continuously enhancing his skin membrane under the tempering of Primordial Qi, ultimately reaching a certain limit.

The Limit of the Skin Membrane Technique, it was no longer possible to elevate the realm.

"This is truly the Peak of Skin Refining. Any further would be the Bone Refining Realm, cultivating the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Method, combined with the Posture Stance and medicine, integrating Qi Blood Essence Qi into the bones and enhancing bone density and strength."

Wang Xuan knew the Martial Arts Hall had the necessary medicines for the Bone Refining Realm. He logged into his personal page and purchased them online, spending four million. At that point, his assets were only fifteen million Star Yuan.

Thereafter, he began learning the relevant knowledge and theories. Without understanding the theoretical knowledge of the Bone Refining Realm, it is difficult to cultivate, and many details need to be straightened out.

In the following days, Wang Xuan practiced at the Martial Arts Hall. He wasn’t in a rush to advance his realm but continuously inquired Elder He about various precautions needed when in the Body Refining Realm.

Otherwise, neglecting details and methods could lead to counterproductive cultivation and wasted effort.

A week later, Wang Xuan had engrained the training methods of the Body Refining Realm in his mind. He collected the corresponding cultivation techniques for Bone and Organ Refining, Bone Marrow Refining and Blood Exchange, studying the theory.

If not for the presence of Old Man He and Senior Brother Chen Qingniu at the Martial Arts Hall, understanding these things would be impossible in a few years. In an era where knowledge is wealth, cultivation experience becomes extremely important.

"Are you planning to advance to the Bone Refining Realm? Not going to temper it for more time?" Chen Qingniu asked.

Wang Xuan said, "I’ve reached the Limit with the Golden Bell Shield and the Skin Membrane Technique. How much more should I temper?"

Chen Qingniu was speechless. With this foundation, there was indeed no need for further refinement. He just couldn’t understand how Wang Xuan had the time and energy to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield and Skin Membrane Technique to the Limit.

It seemed impossible!

"I have an extraordinary talent in Body Protection Techniques, something you cannot envy," Wang Xuan chuckled.

After staying in the Martial Arts Hall for so long and not having gone out, Wang Xuan asked, "Elder He, can I safely venture out now?"

He the Sixth raised an eyebrow, "Perhaps."

"I want to go on a long trip and return in some time," Wang Xuan said. He was preparing to return to the Hunting Team and head to the Siberian Region, where they could earn big.

Lack of money was one reason, and also because he had advanced too quickly, it was too conspicuous at the Martial Arts Hall. If he went out and returned, claiming an opportunity, then further advancing a realm or two would be understandable.

Of course, the Hunting Team now also faced troubles. Without him, the sharpshooter, the team encountered many tricky situations along the way.

"Are you sure?" He the Sixth asked him.

Wang Xuan nodded, and He the Sixth said, "Alright, have Qingniu send you off when you leave. Depart quietly and maintain a low profile, avoid drawing attention from Celestial Sword Mountain."

He fumbled in his arms and handed Wang Xuan a piece of jade, "If someone at the Earth Immortal level makes a move against you, this can save you once, allowing you to teleport a hundred miles away. Don’t get yourself killed out there, if you do, it’s all over."

Wang Xuan cupped his hands in salute, packed his things, and after some makeup and disguise, he shrunk by over ten centimeters, no longer resembling his tall and imposing self.

He then left, boarding Chen Qingniu’s hovercraft, heading northward. In another city, he took the vacuum maglev, crossing twenty to thirty thousand kilometers in one day, reaching the border of White Frost Plain.
