'Perfected' Level

Pu ~ 

Under the infusion of qi-blood, his five fingers were as hard as iron.

After practicing the Black Tiger Heart Piercing move, his fingers had an indescribable sharpness. He could easily pierce through the hard tree trunk with it.

Hiss ~ 

With a strong grab, a piece of the tree trunk was forcefully torn off, and tree juice splattered everywhere.

Immediately after, the muscles on his both legs tensed up and swelled up. With an extremely fast speed, he twisted his body and pounced toward another tree. With the momentum of Fierce Tiger Descending, he used the Black Tiger Heart Piercing.

In mid-air, he circulated his qi-blood to the extreme. He felt that his throat was a little itchy, and there was a puff of air in his chest. He had to spit it out.

"Ha ~"

The withered leaves on the ground were sent flying by his qi-blood, and the small branches around him kept shaking.

Bang ~ 

Lu Yu's punch broke the tree that was as thick as his thigh. The tree made an unpleasant breaking sound and then it smashed down a few small trees when it fell.

He withdrew his moves to calm down the qi-blood in his body that was rapidly circulating.

After he had cultivated all skills of Fierce Tiger Fist Style to the level of 'highly skilled', he was already able to easily execute four moves consecutively. By combining the four moves together, he was able to deal a set of high-damage attacks.

With Lu Yu's current qi-blood level that had reached the threshold of the fifth level of the body refining realm. If he were to execute a complete set of attacks, a careless martial art cultivator of body refining realm fifth level would be instantly killed by him.

After his qi-blood had calmed down, Lu Yu found Little Tail, who was hiding not far away, and began to mine for iron essence today.

It was the same method as before. Lu Yu appeared to lure the Wind Rock Demon away, and Little Tail took the opportunity to fill up the yellow sand.

The earth and the mountains shook again. However, the people guarding the Wind Rock Demon on the sentry post on the mountain were already used to it. They all thought that an unknown expert came here once a day, causing the riot of the Wind Rock Demons.

Originally, the Han Residence also wanted to stop that expert, preventing him from provoking the Wind Rock Demon again, causing the Wind Rock Demon to leave the nest and enter Windmill Town.

But after searching several times, they still couldn't find any trace of that expert.

That mysterious expert came and went without a trace, and the Han Residence had no choice but to send more people to watch the Wind Rock Demon's movements, preventing them from leaving the Wind Rock Mountain.

Luckily, no Wind Rock Demon showed any signs of leaving the Wind Rock Mountain so far.

Moreover, after the mysterious expert had attracted the Wind Rock Demon, the Han Residence managed to capture many Wind Rock Demons who were left out of the group. It greatly expanded the production line of iron essence.

Since they gained a lot of profits and the mysterious expert didn't really cause any trouble, the Han Residence did not stop the mysterious expert. They would just wait for the Wind Rock Demons started to riot, they searched for any lone Wind Rock Demons.

Originally, Lu Yu had planned to come once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. However, after bumping into the Han Residence's patrol team several times, he had no choice but to reduce it to once a day.

This time, when he brought the Wind Rock Demons away from the gravel ground, Lu Yu felt that the situation had changed. A few Wind Rock Demons stopped chasing him in the mid-way. They returned to the gravel ground and lay down on the ground to sleep.

However, there was a large group of Wind Rock Demons still chasing behind him. Lu Yu could not lure the returning Wind Rock Demons away. He could only run and shake off the Wind Rock Demons that were still chasing him first.

When Lu Yu returned to the gravel ground, he was looking for Little Tail at the edge of the forest and gravel ground. However, he did not find her. He was a little anxious.

"Where is she? Little Tail, where are you?"

Lu Yu searched a few times but did not find any trace of Little Tail. Looking at the huge hole at the bottom of the cliff, he was a little worried.

"Was Little Tail captured by the Wind Rock Demons into the cave?"

At this moment, a bump suddenly appeared on the sand. Lu Yu noticed the change in the sand and saw Little Tail emerging from the sand.

Looking at the Wind Rock Demons who were lying on the gravel ground basking in the sun, Lu Yu felt that the Wind Rock Demons were almost back.

He bent down and quickly ran toward the sand pile.

"Why are you in the sand?" Lu Yu quickly dug out his Little Tail.

"I was digging just now, and the sand pile collapsed." Little Tail said softly as he spat out the sand in her mouth.

When Little Tail was dug out, she was still holding a sack in her hand. Under Little Tail's guidance, Lu Yu quickly dug out the other sacks that were buried in the sand pile.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Wind Rock Demon army came back and happened to bump into Lu Yu who was filling the sack.

"Hoo! Hoo!" the Wind Rock Demons became excited. They dug their hind legs and rushed towards Lu Yu.

When Lu Yu found the last sack in the sand, he immediately put it into his backpack. He picked up Little Tail and ran away from the charging Wind Rock Demons.

The charge of the Wind Rock Demons was like a moving city wall. Not only was this city wall extremely sturdy, but it also had thorns.

Even the qi cultivating realm martial cultivators did not dare to take on groups of Wind Rock Demons head-on.

After Lu Yu picked up Little Tail, he stuffed a few qi-blood pills into his mouth and used the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada desperately to escape from the range of the Wind Rock Demons.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Wind Rock Demons plunged into the sand pile. The sand pile that was several meters tall was scattered by these Wind Rock Demons, and the gravel ground was filled with yellow sand.

After Lu Yu escaped, a few Wind Rock Demons snorted. They ran out of the sand pile, which was a lot shorter, and kept shaking the yellow sand and iron essence on their bodies. To the Wind Rock Demons, the sand pile was their cesspool.

After escaping into the forest, Lu Yu stopped when he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore. He put down Little Tail and quickly sat down to circulate the Edgeless Blade Art.

Taking several qi-blood pills at the same time had the effect of restoring qi-blood in a short period of time. However, he had to bear the consequences of taking several qi-blood pills at the same time.

While circulating the Edgeless Blade Art at full strength, Lu Yu's body would occasionally produce soft explosive sounds. The capillaries in his body exploded from the excessive amount of qi-blood.

The side effect on Lu Yu's two legs were the worst. The large amount of qi-blood that had been forcefully released created a huge burden on his legs. The chaotic qi-blood that had erupted in his legs had not yet calmed down. Now, another wave of qi-blood had surged into his legs, which blocked the flow of qi-blood.

Lu Yu felt the excessive blood and qi pressing down on the nerves in his legs, and he lost consciousness in his legs.

Little Tail saw Lu Yu sat down and his whole body started to bleed. She jumped up in fright. She wanted to tell Lu Yu, but she was afraid that she would disturb Lu Yu, so she stood there at a loss.

After a long time, Lu Yu finally managed to suppress the chaotic qi-blood in his body with the Edgeless Blade Art, the spirit class third grade cultivation technique.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Little Tail wiping his body with a wet cloth. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Little Tail heard Lu Yu's voice and said in surprise, "You're awake! That's great!"

"You still haven't told me what you're doing?" Lu Yu's voice was a little angry. After all, no one was willing to be moved by others when they were unconscious.

Little Tail put down the wet cloth in her hand, lowered her head, and said timidly, "I saw that your body was covered in blood, so I wanted to help you wipe it off."

Hearing this, Lu Yu was slightly stunned. He came to his senses and looked at himself. Indeed, his clothes and pants were soaked in blood. There were wipe marks on his hands, face, and neck.

His expression calmed down and he said, "There's no need to wipe me. I'll go back and take a bath later."

After he finished speaking, he used his consciousness to open the system store and used 5,000 gold coins. He used 50,000 credits to buy a spirit class first grade heaven recovery pill.

The heaven recovery pill could heal most of the injuries of martial art cultivators below the qi cultivating realm, including those in the qi cultivating realm. Its expensive price was its only drawback.

After taking a heaven recovery pill, Lu Yu immediately felt a cooling sensation on his two legs, which were the most severely injured. It didn't take long for his two legs to regain consciousness.

After the most severely injured legs recovered, Lu Yu's minor injuries were quickly healed. Even the hidden injuries from his previous practice of the Fierce Tiger Fist Style and the Edgeless Blade Technique were healed.

Lu Yu stood up. Other than the clothes that were soaked in blood that made him feel uncomfortable, his entire body was completely healed, and he felt much refresh. It was as if the air that he breathed into his lungs had become much fresher.

He brought Little Tail to the stream that he had found when he first stole the sand. He threw away the clothes that were soaked in blood and stained with stains. He put on a pair of shorts and washed himself briefly in the stream. He then changed into a set of clothes that he kept in his backpack.

When he saw that Little Tail was covered in yellow sand, he picked her up and washed her in the stream.

"Ah! Ah!"

Little Tail was suddenly picked up and screamed. When she was thrown into the cold water, she screamed again.

After a simple bath, he brought Little Tail back to the courtyard and arranged for the servants to boil some bath water. He was a martial art cultivator and had a strong body. It was fine for him to take a cold bath.

However, Little Tail was just an ordinary child. When she came back, she was still wearing wet clothes. Even though the weather was not cold, it was easy for her to catch a cold if she did not take a hot bath.

Soon, the servants arranged the bath water for the two of them.

After the bath, Lu Yu changed into a new set of clothes and came out. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the Hungry Tiger Pounce, which he had been cultivating for the longest time, had leveled up. It might have broken through by accident when he was suppressing his qi-blood. He did not notice it at that time.

[ Name: Lu Yu]

[ Realm: Third level of the body refining realm (863/1000)]

[ Qi-blood: 70]

[ Cultivation Technique: Fierce Tiger Fist Style (Level 4), Edgeless Blade Art (Level 1)]

[ Skills: Fierce Tiger Fist Style (Hungry Tiger Pounce (perfected), Fierce Tiger Descending (highly skilled), Fierce Tiger Roar (highly skilled), Black Tiger Heart Piercing (highly skilled), Eight Steps Chasing Cicada (highly skilled), Edgeless Blade Technique-Heaven's Fall (beginner)]

[ Experience Points: 635]

Lu Yu was still a little bit away from breaking through to the fourth level of body refining realm. Even if he did not use experience points, he would still breakthrough within the next one or two days. Lu Yu had yet to experience the feeling of breaking through, so he did not plan to use experience points to speed up the breakthrough this time.

In the past, when he was leveling up his cultivation technique, he had also broken through the realm at the same time, but he did not feel anything at all. Perhaps it was because the amount of qi-blood that was increased by breaking through the cultivation technique was far greater than breaking through the realm.

After trying out the Fierce Tiger Fist Style at the 'perfected' level, he found that there were still many flaws in his Fierce Tiger Fist Style, but he could not sense those tiny flaws back then.

Moreover, Hungry Tiger Pounce at 'perfected' level had a bonus effect on cultivating the other three moves. The speed of the increase in experience points during cultivation was two to three times faster.

If one said that 'highly skilled' was only at the peak of one's proficiency of the skill, then 'perfected' level would be at the realm of 'techniques'. As long as Lu Yu wanted to, he could create new moves and skills now.

However, the power might not be comparable to the four moves that had been improved and passed down by many seniors.
