Chapter 60: Nine Transformation Golden Body

Rank Five Martial Vein Realm? Moreover, he easily killed a Peak Rank Five Martial Vein Black Scarf Thief with his sword intent?

Sitting cross-legged in his training room, Ling Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

Ling Yuns deed of slaying a Peak Rank Five Marital Vein Black Scarf Thief in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range quickly spread throughout the Ling Clan.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to not learn of it.

I have to work harder. The top four are all at least Peak Rank Four Martial Vein. Any might make a breakthrough, and once they do, it will be very difficult for me to defeat them with my current strength!

Thinking this, Ling Xiao didnt dare hesitate. He temporarily ignored the pain of his relatives being killed and used it to fuel his strength.

Stronger!

Stronger!

Under this amazing pressure, Ling Xiaos crazily cultivated. Naturally, his crazy cultivation brought great results.

<Bull Demon Technique-Hundred Steps Baleful Sword> also reached sublimity from perfection.

The sublimity realm Hundred Steps Baleful Sword experienced significant changes.

Not only had its power and speed become even more terrifying, but it could also now be controlled by his sword qi, subtly altering the flying swords trajectory.

No matter how fast it was, as long as opponents could accurately judge its direction, it could be stopped with preparation if it could only travel in a straight line.

However, with this new ability, opponents could be caught off-guard.

Naturally, while cultivating, his cultivation slowly advanced, and his gang qi continuously increased.

If the current him participated once more in the previous elimination rounds, other than Ling Yihang, no one would be his opponent.

Even Ling Yihang would be easily defeated within ten moves.

Naturally, the condition was that his opponent had made no improvements.

His current strength far exceeded the past. Three Ling Xiaos of the past would lose against the current Ling Xiao.

However, he was not satisfied; he still lacked internal core laws and defensive martial arts.

<Pure Yang Technique> could no longer keep up with the tempo of his advancement. Although it could produce some special attack effects, it was not sufficient.

His martial veins were at least two times wider than others. Thus, for a technique to improve his strength was twice as difficult as it would be for other people.

In addition, his martial soul needed to be nurtured, and he could easily deplete his limited gang qi reserves. 

An advanced internal core law was not enough; he needed a peak internal core law. Only that would match his aptitude.

As for a defensive martial art, there was no need to explain it. No one would dislike having a powerful defense.

Shaking his head, Ling Xiao left the training room and saw his grandfather Hong Qi standing outside.

Grandpa, were you waiting for me?

Mmm. Hereafter, Little Potato will live with us. He is very happy. You can rest assured that I will take care of him.

Hong Qi said with a smile.

Yes, Little Potato is even more pitiful than me. He directly witnessed the tragic death of his loved ones.

Although Ling Xiao had killed Li Xingyun and the others, the hatred in his heart hadnt completely resolved. This was not a bad thing.

A person with hatred had the motivation to fearlessly advance.

There is one more thing. Take this thing: its something Little Potato asked me to give you. He said that he found it by the road.

Hong Qi lied and handed the book he always carried to Ling Xiao.

Naturally, it was a white lie.

There were some things he didnt want Ling Xiao to know yet.

<Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>!

Ling Xiao was surprised to discover that although this book was tattered, its title was clearly legible. 

He had previously heard of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>. This was a peak defensive martial art created by a past peerless general of the Northern Han Country.

Allegedly, upon mastering the ninth transformation, ones skin would become like gold with amazing defensive power.

Furthermore, every transformation would increase ones internal energy. Whether it were true qi, gang qi, or something else, as long as it was a form of internal energy, all would be substantially improved.

If he could coordinate it with an internal core law, his improvement speed would be even more terrifying.

This was a defensive martial art known throughout the Northern Han Country, but no one in the Ling Clan seemed to have cultivated this martial art. In fact, he doubted whether the Ling Clan possessed this martial art.

This was an imperial-level martial art.

Is it useful for you?

Hong Qi asked with a smile.

Of course, its useful! It is like charcoal in snowy weather!

Ling Xiao spoke with excitement, Grandpa, thank you! Im going to cultivate, but you should rest well. If you are free, look for some elderly people to chat. Now, my status is high, so your status is also high.

You dont need to worry about this. The old gentleman of the Medicine Hall often comes to chat with me. I am not alone.

Hong Qi replied with a smile.

Thats good. What Im most worried about is ignoring you due to constant cultivation.

Ling Xiao grinned and hastily returned to his training room.

Normally, defensive martial arts didnt need any innate comprehension ability because this type of martial art relied on perseverance and hard work.

Naturally, there were some special defensive martial arts that needed the assistance of externals items to increase the cultivation speed.

For instance, this troublesome <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> actually consumed gold!

Fortunately, Ling Xiao had killed Li Xingyun before and found over 100 taels of gold and a piece of gold inner armor in his storage ring. This was truly enemies giving riches!

These were enough for him to cultivate for a while.

If he ran out of money, he would exchange silver for gold or visit the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range to hunt demonic beasts for gold.

Comprehending <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> was not difficult, but that was compared to internal core laws, martial techniques, or secret techniques also at the peak level.

If an average person wanted to comprehend it, not to mention several days, it would be difficult even after ten.

However, this was not a problem for him.

Landscape Martial Souls analysis and deduction ability was honestly too terrifying.

A video played of Ling Xiao demonstrating the entire cultivation process. Moreover, it had been refined to its simplest.

If Ling Xiao couldnt comprehend it in a short time, he would be truly stupid.

Generally, body refining-type martial arts were easy to understand.

In just an hour, Ling Xiao thoroughly understood this body refining art.

After thorough comprehension, cultivating it would be much easier.

Just like its name suggested, <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> had nine transformations.

The first five mainly focused on accumulating gold within the body and strengthening his skin and flesh along with an improvement in his internal strength.

While they all improved his internal strength, the first transformation strengthened his skin and improved his internal strength; the second strengthened his bones and muscles; the third strengthened his qi and blood; the fourth strengthened his internal organs; finally, the fifth strengthened his entire body. After the fifth, his skin, flesh, bones, muscles, internal organs, qi, and blood would all become as hard as an iron. His body would be impervious to sword or spear. And his internal strength would reach a new level.

Ling Xiao predicted that if he could successfully cultivate the fifth transformation, he would at least reach middle Rank Four Martial Vein from the initial stage.

That was even without intentionally cultivating an internal core law.

Compared to other defensive martial arts, <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> had a clear advantage. He could strengthen his entire body.

Unlike some body refining techniques that needed internal energy to achieve their defensive effects, this was passive, free protection.

A successful fifth transformation could be regarded as the small success stage.

The sixth transformation, in addition to further strengthening his entire body and improving his internal strength, would greatly increase his physical strength to terrifying proportions. He would then reach the level of hitting a bull across a mountain.
