This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 64 - : The Battle Begins
Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Battle Begins
Boom!
Hao Yi’s fist slammed into Li Fei’s chest, making a muffled sound.
The force of this punch was not light, but Li Fei stood his ground without a twitch.
This time, the Myriad Blood Pearl hadn’t absorbed much damage for him; the majority of the impact was repelled by the super-compressed spring-like force within his body.
Then Hao Yi struck at Li Fei with a streak of crimson Innate Qi.
Previously, the Innate Qi that he had sent into Li Fei’s body had entered smoothly, but today, the Innate Qi was repelled.
Li Fei felt that when the scorching breath touched his body, the compressed force beneath his skin was fully triggered, exploding with a roar!
His own vigorous Qi-Blood collided with Hao Yi’s Innate Qi, dispersing the Innate Qi and shaking it out of his body.
Whether it was the impact of external forces, strikes, or the various special damages brought by Innate Qi, including magic damage, he could defend against and even rebound them.
This was the extraordinary power brought by the Steel Armor Implant—Overlord Body!
With the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei’s ‘health bar’ would grow thicker and thicker, and now the extraordinary power brought by the implant was an increase in defensive power, making him like a boss with high defense and a lot of health!
After taking that strike of Innate Qi from Hao Yi, Li Fei felt the Qi-Blood in his body had greatly diminished, and some of the compressed force beneath his skin had been released, not as strong as before.
“You are at the early stage of Body Breaking. Each time you use the Overlord Body, the longest you can maintain it is no more than a minute, and the more hits you take, the shorter the duration becomes,” Hao Yi said to Li Fei.
“Previously, I had you cultivate the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body, not only to better absorb the Steel Armor Implant but also so that at this stage, you can better master this extraordinary power and extend the duration of the Overlord Body as much as possible. Try now to control the power inside your body in the same way as the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body.”
Li Fei did as instructed, attempting to manipulate the power brought by the Steel Armor Implant using the energy maneuvering techniques of the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body.
Indeed, doing so, he felt much more agile, and his control over the internal force increased.
“Continue.”
Hao Yi tossed Li Fei a long saber.
This time, it wasn’t a wooden one; it was a real saber with a sharpened edge!
Hao Yi also held a real saber:
“Come, we’ll fight with these next.”
“Okay.”
Li Fei was not afraid to fight with real sabers, as he unsparingly swung his saber at Hao Yi.
Though the Overlord Body mainly enhanced defensive power, under the Overlord Body state, his speed and strength were also somewhat boosted.
Clang—
A shower of sparks burst forth as Hao Yi effortlessly parried Li Fei’s blade with the Rolling Thunder Style and then slashed down towards Li Fei’s body.
Zest!
Li Fei’s clothes were torn, and a white mark was drawn across his chest.
He looked down at his chest; the force Hao Yi had used was not small, but it did not cut through his skin and instead repelled the saber’s edge.
This gave him a further understanding of the Overlord Body’s defensive power.
Not only could it defend against punches and bludgeons, but it could also withstand slashes from swords!
After that, Li Fei and Hao Yi continued to cross sabers, Li Fei fully leveraging the advantages of his Overlord Body, attacking without any defense.
During the fight, Li Fei found his perception to be sharper than before, able to sense danger before Hao Yi made a move, and even able to predict the landing spot of his attack.
This heightened perception gave Li Fei a significant advantage in the fight, and by predicting Hao Yi’s moves in advance, he almost landed a hit on his opponent!
“Huh?”
Hao Yi looked at Li Fei in surprise.
He was well aware of the level of this student’s saber technique; it couldn’t have improved leaps and bounds just because of the Overlord Body, could it?
“Teacher, I feel that my perception has become much sharper,” Li Fei shared his recent realization.
“I see,” Hao Yi said. “Ordinary Steel Armor Implants have only the Overlord Body ability, but you’re using a Second Grade superior Steel Armor, so you have an additional extraordinary ability in perception. This ability is precious; you should refine it well, as its uses may even surpass those of the Overlord Body in the future.”
Li Fei nodded.
In just this short while, his muscles deflated and his stretched tendons returned to their original form, and the color of his skin changed back. The time for the Overlord Body had run out.
Afterward, there was an indescribable emptiness.
“I only lasted for a few dozen seconds…”
Li Fei felt that duration was a bit too short.
“Let’s go again!”
He activated the Steel Armor Implant once more, yearning for more, and entered the Overlord Body state…

After using the Overlord Body three times, Li Fei was struck by an intense hunger; the Steel Armor Implant could no longer “exert strength”.
“In the early stages of Body Breaking, you can only activate the power of the Implant two or three times briefly, after which you need to replenish nutrients. You can take an Iron Essence Pill, just one is enough for a day’s cultivation,” Hao Yi told Li Fei.
“Teacher, besides Iron Essence Pill, are there other Elixirs that can be taken?” Li Fei asked.
“The Martial Arts Hall also sells two other types of Elixirs: the Gold Life Pill and the Power Transformation Pill, but neither is as effective as the Iron Essence Pill. The Gold Life Pill is somewhat better, and the Power Transformation Pill is the least effective. After you finish the Iron Essence Pills, remember to buy Gold Life Pills for cultivation, and definitely do not buy Power Transformation Pills,” Hao Yi cautioned.
“Alright.” Li Fei nodded, “Teacher, I have some things to take care of at home, so I’ll be heading back for today.”
“Mm.” Hao Yi showed no suspicion and nodded.
Thus, Li Fei bid farewell to Hao Yi and headed straight to the resources building:
“Hello, how much is a bottle of Power Transformation Pill?”
“55 yuan per bottle, each containing sixty pills.”
“And the Gold Life Pill?”
“78 yuan per bottle, each with forty pills. These two bottles of medicine have similar effects, but Gold Life Pill is somewhat better.”
Because Li Fei had left a good impression on the administrator here, the administrator took the initiative to explain a bit more to Li Fei.
“Mm, give me five bottles of Power Transformation Pills, thank you.” Now that Li Fei was quite affluent, he handed over a stack of bills and directly asked for five bottles of Power Transformation Pills.
From the pricing and quantity of the Elixirs, it was evident that the effect of one Gold Life Pill was roughly equivalent to 1.5 Power Transformation Pills.
A normal Martial Artist would definitely choose the former, as it would mean taking fewer pills.
But Li Fei would certainly pick the latter.
After obtaining the Elixirs, he opened a bottle on the spot and took a pill to feel its effect.
Indeed, as Hao Yi had said, the efficacy of this Elixir was lacking. After taking a pill, it just barely quenched his hunger.
If it had been the best-quality Iron Essence Pill, taking one would have allowed the Steel Armor Implant within his body to be ‘well-fed’ several times over.
However, using an Elixir like the Power Transformation Pill was not just about saving money for Li Fei; it also allowed him to level up faster.
As the amount of Elixirs consumed increased, the Myriad Blood Pearl absorbed more damage, and naturally, it also absorbed more energy.
“I broke through to the Embryo Cultivation Stage in only 25 days; I wonder how long it will take to Breakthrough in the Body Breaking Stage?” Li Fei looked up at the azure sky above.
The sky was high and the clouds were light, it was an ideal season.
…
On the evening of August 11th, outside the gate of Qingyuan Fist Village.
Liu San paced back and forth anxiously outside the gate, while Sister Hua, still dressed flamboyantly, stood to one side with a gloomy expression.
“Sister Hua!” A disciple of the Boxing Village ran up to Sister Hua, “They’re rushing us too hard over there. They say they’ll wait another ten minutes at most, and if our candidate isn’t there by then, they’ll replace him straight away.”
“Go to hell!” Sister Hua burst out in rage, “How dare Wang Hu’s stubble replace my man?!”
“Sister Hua….” The disciple looked at her timidly.
Tonight was the ‘Dragon and Tiger Fight’ that Sister Hua had mentioned to Li Fei before. Sister Hua had recommended Li Fei to be one of the ‘Tiger Generals,’ but Li Fei had been out of contact for several days in a row, and with the match about to start, his absence naturally caused anxiety and irritation.
“What exactly did he tell you before?” Sister Hua asked Liu San, perhaps for the umpteenth time.
Liu San was also anxious: “He just told me he had things to deal with and would return to the Boxing Village after a while, but he would definitely make it before the Dragon and Tiger Fight starts.”
“Then why hasn’t he shown up yet?”
“I… fuck!” Liu San suddenly exclaimed and then sprinted ahead at the speed of a hundred-meter dash.
Sister Hua looked up and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In the distance, a figure wearing a green Evil Ghost Mask, clad in a black martial robe, holding a saber, appeared, and the dim yellow light stretched his shadow long on the ground.
The Green-faced Ghost had arrived!
