In the evening, inside the room.

Lin Zichen sat on the bed with his back against the wall, curiously flipping through the Blood Tempering Technique given to him by Liu Chuanwu.

The book wasn’t an ancient original, but a translated version in modern text, filled with annotations.

With the effect of the “Tianren Wisdom Root” enhancing him.

Lin Zichen was speed-reading at a rate of ten lines at a glance.

In less than half an hour, he had finished the entire thick volume of the Blood Tempering Technique.

He learned that the Blood Tempering Technique is divided into three stages.

The first stage.

Become aware of the existence of Qi-Blood and try to control it.

The second stage.

Control the Qi-Blood to perform Body Refining, starting with Tempering Skin, then Tempering Flesh, and finally Bone Tempering.

Tempering Skin and Tempering Flesh are very simple, no matter if one has talent or not, as long as there is sufficient Qi-Blood, success is guaranteed, with only the length of time being the variable.

The difficult part is Bone Tempering. Without sufficient talent, one simply cannot control the Qi-Blood to permeate the bones for tempering. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Even with talent and the ability to control Qi-Blood to temper the bones, not everyone can endure the intense pain that comes with it.

However, the more difficult a feat is, the higher the rewards upon completion.

Once the skin, flesh, and bones are all tempered, the physical strength can reach that of an Ordinary Ninth Rank.

If one can undergo a second tempering, the physical strength can rival that of an Advanced First Rank Genetic Integrator.

Even more incredible is a third tempering, which would surpass the strength of an Advanced First Rank Genetic Integrator.

And the number of times one can undergo Body Refining, according to ancient records, is up to five times.

But until now, only Liu Chuanwu, after decades of cultivation, has managed to temper his body three times; no one knows just how powerful one’s physique can become after the fourth or fifth tempering.

In his annotations, Liu Chuanwu speculated that if three-times tempering could crush an Advanced First Rank Genetic Integrator, then four temperings could presumably crush an Advanced Second Rank Genetic Integrator, with five temperings following the same logic.

The third stage.

After Body Refining is complete, control the Qi-Blood to open up the body’s acupoints.

There are a total of 366 acupoints, and the strength gained from opening each acupoint is comparable to having undergone Body Refining once more.

Once all acupoints are opened, one can achieve the legendary sanctification of the flesh.

The annotations in the book speculate that if even just one acupoint can be opened, one can break free from the shackles of ordinary levels as a Pure Blood Human and evolve into an advanced-level creature.

After comprehending the Blood Tempering Technique, Lin Zichen began to attempt the first stage—sensing Qi-Blood.

He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and concentrated.

Following the guidance in the book, he used his spiritual power to sense the Qi-Blood flowing inside his body.

Within three seconds, he had successfully sensed the Qi-Blood.

Easier than he had imagined.

After sensing the Qi-Blood, the next step was to try to control it.

The woman had no patience for his boasting, eager to know the real story.

Liu Chuanwu told the truth: “I didn’t do much really, just told him whatever benefits Evolution College could give him, we at Tianren Pavilion would offer him three times as much.”

“Three times?!”

The woman was dumbstruck for a moment, then her face turned frantic, “Principal, the funds for our Pavilion are almost exhausted. No, not almost, we are already in deep debt. Where are you getting the money to offer him triple the benefits?”

After saying this, she quickly urged, “You shouldn’t be idling here chatting with me, Principal. Hurry up and meet with your old flame to reminisce, go sell your body to bring some funds back!”

Liu Chuanwu spoke confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ve got it all lined up. One for the first half of the night, another for the second half, and yet another one tomorrow morning. We’ll have more than enough for triple the benefits.”

After saying that, he looked at the woman and asked, “Yuyan, how long did it take you to sense your Qi-Blood after getting your hands on the translated version of the Blood Tempering Technique?”

“Ah, that was ten years ago. But if I remember correctly, it should have been around a week before I could sense the Qi-Blood,” replied Song Yuyan after recalling the past.

Liu Chuanwu then asked, “And controlling it?”

“Controlling Qi-Blood?” Song Yuyan answered firmly, “I remember very clearly, it took me exactly two months.”

Liu Chuanwu sighed, “A week to sense Qi-Blood, and two months to control it. You really lived up to your reputation as the Capital City’s college entrance exam runner-up back then. Your talent was remarkable. Although I consider myself a genius, it took me nearly two weeks just to sense Qi-Blood, it’s true what they say, ‘There’s always someone better.’”

“Principal, please stop bringing up the words ‘Capital City’s runner-up’ in front of me,” Song Yuyan complained bitterly, “Ever since I gave up the Path of Genetic Fusion to join Tianren Pavilion and research the Pureblood Human Path, not being able to evolve into an advanced-level creature has led to no end of mockery over the years. It’s absolutely maddening!”

Liu Chuanwu nonchalantly replied, “Let them laugh if they like, what’s there to be annoyed about?”

“I’ve been laughed at for decades, and I’m still standing strong, aren’t I?”

“What we’re doing is enduring hardship for future success. The more we suffer now, the more exhilarating our breakthrough will be later on.”

Continuing, Liu Chuanwu said, “Just give it a few more years. Once you evolve into an advanced-level creature with the body of a pure blood human, you’ll make a sensational breakthrough. You can then easily hang and beat any of your Genetic Integrator classmates.”

“In a few years?” Song Yuyan chuckled bitterly, “I feel like it could take ten years or even never happen.”

Opening Acupoints was incredibly difficult.

Ever since completing her first Body Refining five years ago, Song Yuyan had been attempting to open Acupoints.

But five years had passed, she had undergone Body Refining twice, and still, not one Acupoint had opened.

To be honest, she felt that opening Acupoints could be classified as a ‘lifetime goal.’

If she could open one by the age of fifty, she would consider it a success.

Thinking this, Song Yuyan suddenly asked, “By the way, Principal, did you give Lin Zichen a copy of the translated Blood Tempering Technique?”

“Of course, I gave it to him. I wouldn’t forget such an important matter,”

said Liu Chuanwu. “I’m looking forward to him mastering the control of Qi-Blood before school starts, and then have his Biological Level evolve to Ordinary Fourth Order as soon as the term begins, immediately starting his Body Refining.”

Song Yuyan inquired, “Principal, how long do you think it will take him to successfully sense Qi-Blood?”

“I estimate it’ll take him about 10 days to sense it,” Liu Chuanwu explained after answering, “That kid’s physical test data is quite extraordinary, almost on par with your high school graduation physical data.”

Song Yuyan said with anticipation, “I guess he must think Tianren Pavilion lacks geniuses, and that he’s the one with the highest talent. I wonder if he’ll be totally shocked when he sees me, a beautiful senior with even greater talent, once school starts?”

Seeing Song Yuyan’s eager expression, Liu Chuanwu realized this woman was quite the hypocrite.

This Song Yuyan, she would often get annoyed at him for always showing off, yet here she was, planning to show off in front of a talented junior.

Well?

Now she’s looking forward to flaunting herself to a gifted underclassman?

Liu Chuanwu hoped that Lin Zichen would perform even better and give her a well-deserved slap in the face!
