Chapter 29 Thrust
Xiang Hexi and Xiang Hecheng watched this scene with a sense of strangeness and absurdity.
A scene I never imagined in my wildest dreams actually happened right before my eyes.
Time passed little by little.
Xiang Hesheng repeatedly felt exhausted and swallowed Qi and Blood Pills.
Lu Lin looked at his rapidly improving proficiency and felt increasingly satisfied.
"Ah! I can't take it anymore! I can't stand it."
Xiang Hesheng suddenly threw away the iron whip in his hand and slumped to the ground, completely disregarding his image.
"Hmm? What's going on? Are you running out of Qi and Blood Pills? I have two more bottles here."
Lu Lin walked over, took out two bottles of pills, and handed them to Xiang Hesheng.
Xiang Hesheng collapsed instantly.
"No, no!"
He yelled and fled in panic, not even bothering with the iron whip on the ground.
"You!" Lu Lin watched Xiang Hesheng's rapidly disappearing figure, picked up the iron whip on the ground, handle facing forward, and turned to look at Xiang Hexi and the other person. "Gentlemen, perhaps..."
"We're so sorry! We've disturbed you. We'll leave right away, right away!"
Xiang He and Xi bowed to Lu Lin, looking at the iron whip so close to them, which seemed like a venomous snake.
As they spoke, the two rushed out.
Lu Lin stood there alone, holding an iron whip.
"What kind of nonsense is this? They're asking us to hit someone and we won't even listen."
Lu Lin didn't chase after them because they were different from Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao wanted to kill Lu Lin to silence him.
These three people only wanted to steal the disciple token.
Just now, Xiang Hesheng told them outside not to kill Lu Lin, and because of this, Lu Lin decided to let them go.
Lu Lin
【Technique: Four Sacred Skills (Incomplete): Second Level, 9/12】
[Dragon-Tiger Golden Bell Shield: 24996/50000, Minor Success]
[Divine Seed Trait: Excellence]
[Number of refinements: 2]
With only three more rounds of skin refining remaining, Lu Lin planned to complete the process in one go during his rest period.
Who knows, I might even get into the Meat Training level while I'm at it.
The Dragon Tiger Golden Bell Shield has also been greatly improved.
When he entered the fog zone, his skill level was only around five or six thousand.
After the battles with Jiang Yao and Xiang Hesheng, the price increased by nearly 20,000.
The main force today was still Xiang Hesheng; his iron whip was incredibly effective, greatly assisting Lu Lin. It's just that the boy has run away now, leaving even the iron whip with Lu Lin.
Then let's continue refining the skin.
Lu Lin didn't leave. He found a square table, wiped it clean, and sat down cross-legged.
Three hours later.
Refine the skin ten times.
Three more hours later.
Skin was refined eleven times.
Not only did his skin become increasingly firm and resilient, but Lu Lin's internal energy and blood also continued to grow stronger.
"People say this misty region is like a ghost town, but to me it's like heaven."
"Keep practicing!"
During the final tempering, Lu Lin felt significant resistance.
Even with the help of the mist, cultivation is still extremely difficult.
"How about we take our clothes off?"
Actually, whether he takes his clothes off or not isn't a big deal. He's already dressed in a simple outfit, which would have been enough for him to walk the runway in his previous life.
Removing the training clothes increases the corrosive effect of the mist on Lu Lin.
But it's limited.
I don't know how much time has passed; maybe five hours, or maybe eight.
When Lu Lin opened his eyes again, his skin had a metallic sheen.
Lu Lin clenched his fist, feeling the powerful blood and energy within his body, and the boundless strength.
"Whoosh."
Lu Lin swept his hand across the wooden wall.
The wooden wall, which was at least an inch thick, was as thin as paper in front of Lu Lin, and a large hole was easily torn in it.
Lu Lin slammed his fist into the ground again.
The hardwood floor, which wouldn't shake even if ten people stood on it, was punched through by Lu Lin.
Through the hole, Lu Lin could see the roof beams on the first floor.
"Try this."
The roof beams were made of real hardwood, thicker than Lu Lin's thigh. They were dried, oiled, and weathered for over a decade. Although covered in dust, they were undamaged.
As a result, Lu Lin's punch broke the roof beam.
The entire two-story building emitted a piercing sound due to a broken roof beam.
The wooden walls on both sides also began to tilt.
The house is about to collapse.
Lu Lin, disregarding the need to continue testing, grabbed his backpack and iron whip and ran out.
Click, click.
boom--
A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole; this is exactly what's happening right now.
Lu Lin turned his gaze and saw a manhole cover a few steps away.
That manhole cover wasn't made of wood, but rather a single, two-inch-thick stone slab.
The bandits didn't care about the shape; they simply chiseled it into a circle and placed it over the well.
"If that punch lands, I hope it won't break my hand."
"Try it gently first."
Lu Lin had not yet refined his bones, so of course he had this concern.
He walked to the well, tried several times before finally punching the well cover.
boom.
He delivered a punch with three-tenths of his strength.
A crack appeared on the surface of the manhole cover.
"Again."
boom.
With eight-tenths of its strength, the manhole cover shattered, with a few small pieces falling into the well and the larger pieces landing on the ground.
"Hahaha, invincible, invincible!"
There was no one around.
Having tested his own punching power, Lu Lin couldn't help but burst into excited laughter.
With such strength, even a flesh-refining level martial artist is no match for him, let alone a bone-tempering level martial artist... Heh, are the bones of a bone-tempering level martial artist as hard as that manhole cover from earlier?
Lu Lin was in a great mood and casually swung the iron whip a couple of times. However, his skills were not up to par. He was lucky enough to hit nothing with the first whip, but the second whip hit Lu Lin's own leg.
"oops!"
Lu Lin cried out in pain.
A text prompt flashed before my eyes.
[Dragon-Tiger Golden Bell Shield: 25026/50000, Minor Success]
"Um?!"
"This works?"
Lu Lin was full of questions, then overjoyed.
"Damn it, why didn't I think of that sooner? Having others practice on me increases my skill level, why can't I do it myself?!"
"I'll hit you! I'll hit you!"
Lu Lin excitedly brandished his iron whip.
However, due to his lack of skill, Lu Lin's whip missed hitting him even once out of three strikes.
A lot of time was spent, but the results were minimal, a classic case of putting in twice the effort for half the result.
Since that's the case, Lu Lin threw down the iron whip.
"Once we get back to Jinshan Prefecture, I'll find someone to make a pair of nunchucks. Those things aren't for hitting people at all; they're purely for self-torture."
Lu Lin gave up on self-cultivation and suddenly remembered something.
He quickly opened his bag, touched it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Good news, the bottle of Qi and Blood Pills wasn't broken.
Bad news: the ancient forging method has been destroyed.
The whip that Xiang Hesheng had previously used to strike Lu Lin was blocked by the Gu family's forging technique, protecting the pills inside.
However, the ancient forging method was broken down into pieces and fragments.
"Why are there still two pages here that aren't damaged?"
Lu Lin blew away the scraps of paper, leaving only two light pages of the Ancient Clan Forging Technique in his hand.
The paper was covered with marks from whipping.
No, these are not two sheets of paper, but two ultra-thin pieces of metal.
There are words and pictures on it.
At the top of one page was the character “突” (tū), and on the other page was the character “刺” (cì).
Lu Lin smoothed the metal, and the text on it became clear.
"突" means to rush forward or charge, implying that one can quickly approach an opponent with explosive power.
To stab means to assassinate or pierce. It means to use an absolutely keen eye to find the opponent's weakness, and then... kill him with one blow!
