The Gate of the Genkai

Mutation

“It’s a bit lighter, and it should be able to lift more important things.”

Shi Mu said a few words to himself, then raised his hand, and with a bang, the stone lock was thrown to the nearby ground.

The whole square shook slightly.

Only then did Shi Mu raise his hands and take a closer look.

The two palms are slender and strong, but no matter how you look at them, they definitely don’t look like a flesh and blood body that can exert a thousand catties.

After pondering for a while, Shi Mu walked to the wooden frame and took off the long knife again.

After a while, sword shadows erupted in the square, like flying sand and rocks, or like dragons going out to sea.

With a sound of “嗖”, the white horse swept out, submerging a nearby wooden stake.

After a few “pops” and “pops”, the wooden stake was cut into seven pieces and rolled away in an instant.

One breath and six cuts

His saber technique is so fast that it is no longer inferior to Li Canghai’s previous demonstration.

As soon as the shadow of the knife faded away, Shi Mu stood on the spot holding the long knife upside down, looking at the wooden pile in front of him, his face was full of thoughtfulness.

at dusk.

In a large and poorly furnished house, the heavy wooden door was locked from the inside.

Shi Mu lay on the big bed in the middle of the room with his eyes closed.

At this time, his skin was flushed, hot and sweaty, his whole body was curled up into a ball, his mouth made intermittent noises from time to time, his limbs kept twitching, and he was in a semi-comatose state.

After an unknown period of time, his pain gradually stopped, his limbs slowly stretched out, his skin gradually returned to normal color, and he opened his tired eyes.

Shi Mu took a few deep breaths, walked under the bed and stretched his arms and legs, and with a movement of his arm, he grabbed the edge of the bed with all his fingers.

“Crack” sound

The side of the solid wood bed, which seemed very solid, shattered and opened.

“The strength has increased a bit, but it is not as amazing as the last few times. It has been a month since the last attack, and it only lasted for half a quarter of an hour. It seems that there is little possibility of increasing it in the future.” Shi Mu murmured Said.

The astonishing change just now has appeared more than once since he moved into this manor. This is the reason why he showed amazing strength and extraordinary swordsmanship during the day.

The first episode of the mutation occurred when he was tortured for a whole night during the first month of his stay in the manor.

But when he returned to normal the next day, he found that both his strength and physical response had increased a lot compared to before.

Then two nights later, the second mutation started again.

In this way, he has experienced this kind of mutation more than ten times in a row in the past few months, and every attack has benefited his body amazingly.

However, as the duration of the mutation became shorter and shorter, and the interval between attacks became longer and longer, the increase in strength and reaction began to gradually weaken.

Now this time,It only increased his strength a little, it was far from being able to compare with the first few times.

But even so, Shi Mu’s strength is now more than a thousand catties, and his reaction speed is several times that of ordinary people.

No matter how slow Shi Mu was, he could still guess that this change had something to do with the giant clam rescued from the bottom of the sea that day.

After all, the whole mutation process was very similar to the feeling of his blood boiling after waking up at the seaside that day, but the pain was more than tenfold increased.

For this kind of romance, he has heard a lot from the biographies of the strong in the storytellers, and he was once envious.

Now that this kind of adventure happened to him, he was naturally overjoyed, and he also gained a lot of confidence in passing the Kaiyuan Martial Academy test half a year later.

In addition, Shi Mu also confirmed from Li Canghai that even if he has comprehended the sense of aura and meets the age requirements, he still has to go through a very fierce competition to enter the martial arts academy.

After all, Kaiyuan Wuyuan also has limited resources and can only recruit a limited number of people within the quota. Judging from past experience, the number of people signing up in the entire Kaiyuan Prefecture will often be several times this.

Shi Mu knew very well that his talent was average, even if he took the Qi Ling Pill, the probability of comprehending the sense of Qi would not be much higher than that of ordinary people.

And according to Li Canghai, once you have passed the ninth level of body tempering, every time you increase the level, the chance of comprehending the sense of qi will increase a lot. Once you can cultivate the body to the tenth level, the chance of comprehending even ordinary aptitudes will be 1/3 more than one. If the cultivation reaches 130% Body Tempering Dzogchen, the chance of failure is even less than half.

This is also the reason why some warriors with low aptitude, even after they are thirty or forty years old, can still rely on the body tempering Dzogchen and taking Qiling Pill many times to successfully advance to Houtian warriors, but the time and money spent during this period is not ordinary. The warrior accepted it.

Of course, it is only at such an advanced age that you can comprehend the sense of qi. The golden time of martial arts cultivation is completely wasted. It is conceivable that it will be difficult to continue to practice later on. up.

However, some children of real noble families can also increase the chance of comprehending the Qi sense by collecting some rare auxiliary pills, but the price is still several times higher than the purchase of Qi Ling pills.

At the beginning, Li Canghai had practiced the body tempering technique to 120%. After he was in his twenties, he took the Qi Ling Pill for the second time to barely advance to the acquired stage. Every time he talked about this matter, this mid-acquired martial artist still felt extremely regretful.

For Shi Mu, with his small net worth now, there is no need to think about purchasing auxiliary pills, and the only way to go is to improve the level of body tempering.

But once the Body Tempering Technique has passed the ninth level, it will take far more time to cultivate to a higher level than ordinary people imagine. It is possible to practice the Body Tempering Technique to the twelfth level of Dzogchen before the age of fifteen Only a truly monstrous genius can do it, and there are only a few people in the entire history of Daqi State.

With the help of the changes in his body in the past few months, Shi Mu has directly pushed the body tempering technique to the ninth level, even close to the tenth level.

According to normal judgment, it should not be a big problem for him to enter the tenth floor of the quenching body after more than half a year, but if he wants to enter the eleventh floor, it is still a long way off. And a one-third chance of comprehending the sense of qi naturally cannot make Shi Mu really feel at ease.

It seems that if he still wants to go further in the body tempering technique, he can only use the extreme training method that Li Canghai mentioned.

According to what Li Canghai said, he obtained this method of tempering the body accidentally from an expert. Although it is very simple and crude, the effect of tempering the body is surprisingly amazing, but the whole process is too dangerous and painful. There is a small possibility of premature death, so it is rarely passed on to other apprentices. If Shi Mu was willing to spend a lot of money, he would be willing to give it all.

Danger Ever since he made the oath of becoming a strong man in front of his mother’s grave, he knew that he would definitely walk on a difficult road full of thorns, so how could he be afraid of any danger?

But what he needs to do now is to master the martial art of Crushing Stone Fist first, and then he can devote himself to cultivating the technique of tempering the body.

Shi Mu thought indifferently, and soon made a decision in his heart.

Seven days later, in the center of the manor square, a three-foot-high blue water tank was erected, filled with densely packed soybeans.

“drink” “drink”

Standing in front of the water tank, Shi Mu was naked from the upper body, only wearing a pair of fat black trousers, with a thick silver leather case on each of his hands, fisted with both hands, punching the grains of wheat in the water tank vigorously.

“Listen well, although the power of the Crushing Stone Fist is directly related to one’s own strength, the toughness of the fist itself is the key to whether it can exert its maximum power. Flesh and blood will fly, self-mutilation hands. You are just a beginner, although the body tempering technique has been completed, but the strength of the fist is at most enough to hit some wood. I will let you wear multi-layered fish skin gloves to fight these Soybeans can slowly activate the muscles, bones, and flesh in your hands, so that your hands will not suffer too much trauma at the beginning, and can also quickly improve the strength of your hands. When your fists can penetrate the entire water tank with one blow, I will put beans Change to larger gravel, and subtract one layer from the fish skin gloves on your fist. When you can hit the gravel in the tank to the bottom, I will change to real iron sand, and the iron sand will also be replaced Only after it can be broken down can it be practiced with a real large rockAttention, Xi, your left hand swings a bit too much.” Li Canghai stood beside him with his arms folded, talking expressionlessly.

“yes”

Shi Mu agreed in his mouth, waving his two arms endlessly, each punch penetrated more than half a foot deep into the water tank, his upper body was sweating profusely, every muscle was bulging like a mouse, his whole body was enveloped by a strange fanaticism middle.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu suddenly let out a loud shout, and punched out suddenly, the blow actually penetrated more than a foot deep into the water tank, almost burying half of his arm in the soybeans.

“Stop it, didn’t I tell you not to use too much force at the beginning? Let me see if your hand is hurt?” Li Canghai’s face changed drastically when he saw this scene, he shouted sharply, and quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms.

“Master Li, it’s fine.” Shi Mu grinned, and pulled his arm out of the soybean.

“Hmph, it’s up to me to decide if something is wrong. Take off the gloves.” Li Canghai snorted and said without thinking.

Hearing this, Shi Mu had no choice but to shake his arm again, then took off the leather sheath on the fist layer by layer, and moved the exposed reddish fingers in front of Li Canghai a few times.

“Hey, it seems to be all right. Strange, according to my so many years of apprenticeship experience, it is normal for all five fingers to be bloody with such a strong effort. You come here and directly use your fist to hit this wooden stake. This time, use Go all out.” Li Canghai carefully looked at Shi Mu’s palm, showing a surprised expression, and after thinking about it, he pointed to a thick wooden stake nearby.

“Yes” Shi Mu heard the words, took a deep breath, walked to the wooden post, and slowly started to walk around it.

“Boom” sound

After Shi Mu shook his shoulders, he punched out suddenly, breaking the thick wooden stake from the middle, and even the upper half of the wooden stake flew out of the square with a “swish” sound and smashed heavily on the ground. On the outer wall of a certain room, the whole room shook slightly.

His retracted fist was surprisingly unscathed:
