Chapter 9 Second Bone Tempering
Upon arriving at the training room, Lu Hao went to the center of the area and began to adjust himself.
This time, he didn't even take the pills to cover his tracks, since his mother had already suspected something. Whether he took them or not made no difference, and besides, all medicines have some toxicity, so the pills wouldn't have much effect on Lu Hao anyway.
Therefore, he would avoid taking pills as much as possible. However, if he were outside, Lu Hao would naturally take pills to cover it up.
Seeing that Lu Hao had started adjusting his breakthrough without even taking any pills, Bai Qiuyao originally wanted to remind him, but then she thought that Hao'er was a sensible person and he wouldn't forget; it was just that he didn't need the pills.
Can she and her husband together fend off all those who covet her? We can only hope Hao'er grows up quickly.
Bai Qiuyao thought worriedly from the side.
Lu Hao had already finished adjusting, brought up the panel, and moved his mind.
[Spend 1000 kill points to increase maximum health by 1 point?]
Yes.
Instantly, Lu Hao felt a surge of powerful blood energy enter his body. If he were to release this power, even his mother might not be able to withstand it.
Fortunately, this energy was provided by the system and did not run rampant. Instead, it flowed along Lu Hao's meridians, impacting the barriers of his three bone-tempering processes.
If the barrier of the second bone tempering is a stone door that requires a lot of blood and energy to break through, then the barrier of the third bone tempering is a real steel barrier that is completely insurmountable.
Without the system's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to pass the second bone tempering, just like the original owner, let alone the third.
While guiding his qi and blood to break through the barrier, Lu Hao began to circulate the "Tempering Method".
The surging energy surged against the barrier like a fierce lion.
Once, twice, three times...
Lu Hao began relentlessly assaulting the barrier in front of him, and with each of his repeated attacks, the once impregnable barrier began to show signs of damage.
Lu Hao saw hope and accelerated his efforts even further.
At some point, Lu Hao had made countless attempts to break through the barrier, but it finally crumbled.
Lu Hao channeled all his energy and blood, rushing towards the barrier once more.
Break it!
As Lu Hao successfully broke through the barrier with his vital energy, his vital energy began to increase, his bones began to vibrate, and his flesh began to writhe.
Three rounds of bone tempering began.
Lu Hao's face lit up with joy; he had finally broken through. He had lost count of how many times he had tried.
Having undergone three rounds of bone tempering, Lu Hao's foundation is now no weaker than anyone else's.
The body begins to ooze foul blood and expel impurities.
Lu Hao quickly began practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation), hoping to make some progress.
For the past week, Lu Hao has been trying to stand in a standing posture on a basin of water every night, but he has never succeeded and always ends up soaked to the bone.
Lu Hao didn't expect to directly enter the Void Realm through standing meditation. He just wanted to gain some insights now so that he could enter the Void Realm sooner and fall into the water less often.
Bai Qiuyao, who was standing to the side, relaxed a lot when she saw Lu Hao successfully break through. After all, it had taken her two hours to succeed, and Bai Qiuyao had thought she was going to fail.
Half an hour later, Lu Hao stood up, his entire body covered in blood.
Lu Hao smiled. The half-hour of standing meditation had given him a lot of ideas, and he might be able to break through to the Void Realm by then.
This excited Lu Hao greatly, since breaking through to the Void Realm would allow him to borrow strength from the air and stand in the void, making him invincible against those who had not yet reached the Void Realm.
With a thought, Lu Hao opened the panel and began to look at it.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 157/205 calories+]
[Mental Strength: 131/289 Hz+]
Storage space: 1 cubic meters
Kill Points: 175
My Qi and Blood increased by 6 calories, and my Mental Strength increased by 10 Hz.
This is already a significant increase, considering that with a Qi and Blood level above 200, increasing it by even one unit is very difficult.
Lu Hao tried it out. It would take 100 kill points to increase the maximum health of one card. Fortunately, the increase in kill points was not too great. After he reached the limit of the third Bone Tempering, he could prepare to break through to the Martial Artist level.
After all, three bone temperings are already the limit. A fourth bone tempering would be too much for his current physical body to handle, and he would end up with his flesh and blood disintegrating and dying.
He waved to his mother, indicating that he had successfully broken through.
Lu Hao walked towards the washroom.
Half an hour later.
"Hao'er, how are you feeling?"
"I asked, sitting on the sofa," Bai Qiuyao asked.
"I feel so good, I've never felt this good before."
"Hao'er, remember that if anyone asks you about the time for the second and third bone tempering, you should move the time for the second bone tempering forward and the time for the third backward, leaving enough time between them."
"Okay, don't worry, Mom, I know," Lu Hao replied, knowing that his mother was worried that he had let something slip.
"So, Hao'er, next you'll reach your limit and break through to become a first-grade martial artist, right?"
Bai Qiuyao asked, she was really afraid that Lu Hao would say that he needed to temper his bones again, that he would need to temper his bones four times. In that case, she would have to stop him, because the physical limits of a non-martial artist's body could only accommodate three bone temperings.
Some people have tried bone tempering four times before, but their bodies couldn't withstand it, their flesh and blood shattered, and they became vegetative.
So if Lu Hao really wanted to undergo that so-called fourth bone tempering, she would definitely stop him.
"Yes, that's right. I will break through to the first-grade martial artist level after reaching my limit. Don't worry, I won't undergo four rounds of bone tempering; my physical body couldn't withstand that."
Lu Hao guessed the meaning behind his mother's question, and then he spoke.
"Yes, yes, breaking through to the Martial Realm is good. Even if a non-Martial Realm cultivator tempers their bones, they can only be equivalent to a first-grade Martial Realm cultivator at most, and they definitely can't beat a second-grade Martial Realm cultivator. So, breaking through when you reach your limit is the right thing to do."
"Once your cultivation level is higher, you'll naturally be able to win. I heard that Xie Lei from Magic Martial Arts University insisted on undergoing bone tempering three times, and he did succeed in tempering his bones three times. But now, his classmates have all reached the third rank of martial artist, while he has only just broken through to the second rank."
"It was a completely counterproductive move for him."
"Yes, I know. Pushing it to its limit will lead to a breakthrough; it won't be a waste of time."
Lu Hao agreed.
"I will tell Li Siyuan in the next few days that you are preparing to break through to the third stage of bone tempering, so he shouldn't come over for the next few days. I will reveal the news of your successful third stage of bone tempering in a few days."
Bai Qiuyao said that if Li Siyuan were to provide practical guidance, he would inevitably discover the changes in Lu Hao's blood and qi, and thus deduce that Lu Hao had successfully tempered his bones three times. Although he did not know the time of the second tempering, he still had to be on guard.
"Okay, I understand. I will practice my combat tactics on my own these next few days."
Lu Hao didn't think his mother was being overly suspicious. After all, such things couldn't be revealed at all. Lu Hao remembered that in the original story, Fang Ping spent two months going from the second to the third stage of bone tempering.
Lu Hao's actual interval was only half a month. If the outside world found out, even his father probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
