In the past, Tang Jie was seriously ill and did not have the conditions to practice martial arts. Now that he had completely recovered, Tang Jie cherished this opportunity very much. He cultivated day and night to strengthen himself!
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
"Kakaka!"
In the early morning, Tang Jie was like a tiger curled up on the bed. Every breath he took seemed to be a puff of smoke. With every breath, there was a warm flow circulating in his body, tempering his bones and muscles. The sound of bones cracking could be heard in the entire room.
If someone entered the room at this time and saw Tang Jie on the bed, they would definitely be shocked. They would not imagine that it was a person and not a crouching tiger!
"Fourth level of body tempering…!"
Tang Jie opened his eyes, which were filled with joy.
After two months of hard work, Tang Jie had achieved a miracle. From the first level of body tempering, he had advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through three levels and reaching the fourth level of body tempering!
Fourth level of body tempering! A single arm with the strength of 400 Jin, if placed in ancient China, would definitely be a fierce general that could not be stopped by ten thousand men!
"After reaching the fourth level of body tempering, the effect of strengthening the body has weakened a lot. My cultivation of Tiger Subduing Technique has slowed down a lot. I have to cultivate one or two more martial techniques.”
Tang Jie thought to himself.
In the end, the purpose of practicing martial arts was to increase one's own strength. Only then could one survive in this era of demons and devils, and war and war. It was useless to have great strength. One had to know one or two martial arts techniques to increase their combat strength!
Reaching the fourth level of body tempering, one would be qualified to go to the Eastern Cloud Sect's Scripture Depository to choose a few martial arts manuals.
Tang Jie immediately packed up and headed towards the Scripture Depository of the Eastern Cloud Sect.
The Eastern Cloud Sect's Scripture Depository stored all the martial arts manuals that the Eastern Cloud Sect possessed. Usually, this place was very quiet!
At the entrance of the Sutra Depository was a seemingly skinny white-haired old man. However, to be able to guard an important place like the Sutra Depository, it was impossible for him to be an ordinary person.
"Elder, disciple Tang Jie has reached the fourth level of body tempering. I've come to the scripture library to choose a suitable martial technique for disciple.”
Tang Jie said respectfully to the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man took a look at the identity token that Tang Jie took out. Tang Jie pressed one hand on Tang Jie's shoulder. Tang Jie only felt a warm current flowing through his body.
"This is…the later heavenly astral qi?" Tang Jie was secretly shocked.
Body tempering martial artists trained their bodies. Only when they reached the tenth level of body tempering would they be qualified to cultivate inner force!
On the other hand, Pre-Sky Realm martial artists could cultivate true qi and easily defeat any body refining martial artist!
The white-haired old man in front of him was obviously a powerful Pre-Sky Realm warrior!
"Hmm…not bad, you are indeed at the fourth level of body tempering.”The white-haired old man withdrew his hand and nodded slightly. He was checking Tang Jie's physical condition just now.
Then, the white-haired old man said to Tang Jie," Go and enter the Sutra Depository. However, you are only an outer sect disciple. You can only choose secret manuals on the first floor. Moreover, you can only choose three at most. You can't bite off more than you can chew!"”
"Disciple understands." Tang Jie nodded.
The white-haired old man allowed Tang Jie to enter the Scripture Depository.
On the first floor of the Scripture Depository, there were rows upon rows of bookshelves. There were at least a thousand secret manuals, all of which were suitable for Body Refining Stage disciples. This was the foundation of the thousand-year-old Eastern Cloud Sect.
As for the second floor of the Scripture Depository, Tang Jie was not qualified to enter.
It was quite difficult to choose three martial arts manuals that were suitable for him among thousands of secret manuals. After nearly two hours, Tang Jie finally chose three martial arts manuals that were suitable for him.
"I'll choose the Bull Strength, Dragon Tendon Art, and Vajra Demon Subduing Fist.”
In the end, Tang Jie chose three secret manuals. He had his own ideas!
The Tiger Subduing Technique that Tang Jie cultivated was a body-refining technique. It mainly focused on the bones, making them as tough as the bones of a tiger. They could withstand even stronger forces. When cultivated to perfection, they could reach the tenth level of body tempering and possess the strength of a fierce tiger.
As for the Bull's Strength, this martial art mainly tempered the muscles and skin. When it was perfected, it could also reach the tenth level of body tempering. Moreover, the skin and muscles were as tough as cowhide. The body would not feel any pain or itch when hit by knives, spears, swords, sticks, fists, palms, and legs. Its defensive power was quite strong!
As for the Dragon Tendon Art, it was just as its name suggested. It mainly cultivated the tendons. The tendons belonged to the Meridians and were even finer. Cultivating them to be as tough as the dragon tendons could increase the explosive power of the body!
Tendons, bones, muscles, and skin. Since he wanted to refine his body, he had to refine it in all aspects so that he had no weaknesses!
As for the Demon Subduing Buddhist Fist, it was an overbearing fist technique that was used for combat.
"Elder, disciple has chosen." At the entrance, Tang Jie went to register with the white-haired old man.
"Hmm? Bull Force, Dragon Tendon Art?"
The white-haired old man frowned when he saw the martial arts Tang Jie chose.
"Young man, you have to know that you can't bite off more than you can chew. These cultivation techniques are all for body refinement. If you want to advance at the same time, it means that you will spend several times more time and resources.”
The white-haired old man said.
Any one of the body-tempering techniques could reach the tenth level of body tempering when cultivated to perfection. Tang Jie had to cultivate several of them, which meant that he would consume more energy and resources. Tang Jie was an outer sect disciple, so it was really not suitable for him to do so.
Facing the white-haired old man's warning, Tang Jie nodded and said,"Disciple understands."
Tang Jie naturally had his own considerations. Only with a solid foundation could he advance triumphantly in the future.
Moreover, Tang Jie's body-strengthening effect came from the body-strengthening pill. It only had an effect on the early stage of body-strengthening. After cultivating the Tiger Subduing Technique to the fourth level, the effect was negligible. Since it was difficult to improve to higher levels, it was better to develop horizontally and cultivate a few more body-strengthening cultivation techniques so as not to waste the effect of body-strengthening.
The main thing was that the cultivation resources that he had to spend were several times more than what Tang Jie had. At most, it would just take a little more time.
Tang Jie was still young, and he did not lack time!
"Go. Remember, you must not teach the martial arts of our sect to others. Otherwise, you will be punished by the sect rules.”The white-haired old man shook his head. He didn't try to persuade him. He was just reminding him out of goodwill.
"Disciple understands." Tang Jie responded.
Any sect or martial arts family would treasure their martial arts very much and keep it a secret. If they dared to teach it to others privately, they would be hunted down by the entire sect!
After returning to his residence, Tang Jie immediately began a new round of cultivation.
The Bull Force and Dragon Tendon Technique were the two main techniques that Tang Jie cultivated.
The body strengthening effect continued to take effect. During the process of cultivation, streams of heat flowed through Tang Jie's body, making his veins, skin, and muscles stronger!
In just three days, he had cultivated the Dragon Tendon Technique and Bull Strength to the first level.
Apart from that, Tang Jie did not forget to practice the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist, a martial technique used in combat.
"Vajra Glaring Eyes!"
"Vajra Fist!"
"Vajra Stomp!"
Fierce and powerful fist techniques were continuously unleashed by Tang Jie's hands.
