Chapter 3
Lin Yuan initially practiced the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique for more than a year, barely reaching the basic level.
The progress could be considered slow.
So he didn’t bother to dilly-dally; instead, he used five years of simulated lifespan to see what changes would occur.
On the panel, the numbers of simulated lifespan decreased rapidly, finally settling at ten years. Lines of text appeared in front of him.
[First year, you diligently practiced the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique, advancing slowly.]
[You continued to cultivate and finally achieved some success in the third year, breaking through to the Proficient realm.]
[In the fifth year, it became increasingly difficult to make progress in martial arts. One sleepless night, you had an inspiration, believing that to accelerate your cultivation, you needed to drink the blood of an insightful tiger demon and eat its flesh.]
[Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique (Proficient)]
[Remaining simulated lifespan: ten years]
[Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique (True Gang Realm)]
[Realm: Proficient]
[Special Effect: Tiger’s Might]
Lin Yuan lowered his gaze and slowly clenched his fist.
The arm he stretched out was no longer thin and weak. With a little effort, the symmetrical muscle contours were highlighted. Blood and energy surged in his body, and he became strong at an astonishing speed. It was as if Lin Yuan had truly devoted himself to hard cultivation for five years, single-mindedly, without any slack.
“A full five years, only from basic to proficient…”
Watching the gradually dissipating text in front of him, Lin Yuan naturally noticed the important information revealed by the last sentence.
Drink the blood of a tiger demon and eat its flesh!
Only in this way could he speed up his cultivation of the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique.
With Lin Yuan’s current strength, trying to kill a mature tiger demon was simply wishful thinking.
[Name]: Lin Yuan
[Age]: Sixteen
[Cultivation]: Tenfold Skin Refinement (Breaking the Limit)
[Martial Arts]: Red Line Fist, Capture Hand, Demon Suppression Saber Technique, Intense Yang Saber Technique, Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique
[Titles]: Ghost Scourge, Demon Hunter
[Simulated Lifespan]: Ten years
Glancing at the column of cultivation level, Lin Yuan’s eyelids twitched.
Five years…
Tenfold Skin Refinement!
This wasn’t considered fast; in fact, it could be said to be very slow. In his first simulated life, he only took two and a half years to break through the Blood Exchange Realm.
But the two were completely different! Because in conventional cultivation, there was no “Tenfold Sky”; nine was the extreme realm!
Only by breaking through the limit of the Ninefold Realm could it be considered breaking the limit!
Lin Yuan had always thought this was just a fictitious term in the novel; after all, it was unheard of in reality, and he didn’t expect it to be true.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Lin Yuan gazed at the golden color slowly appearing on his arm, a smile forming at the corner of his lips.
“Golden Skin!”
Skin Refinement was all about refining the skin.
It had nothing to do with the realm of martial arts.
This was a level of skin refinement, divided into three types: Iron Skin, Copper Skin, Golden Skin.
The so-called “Copper Skin” mentioned in the phrase “Copper Skin, Iron Bones” referred to the second level of skin refinement.
Most people, until breaking through the Blood Exchange Realm, only stayed at Iron Skin.
In Lin Yuan’s simulated life, it was the same.
“If I were to meet myself from back then, I could probably knock myself out with a punch…”
Staring at the remaining ten years of simulated lifespan, Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered for a while, then he made a sudden decision. Continue the simulation! He didn’t believe that there was no other way to obtain simulated lifespan other than this; otherwise, once it was used up, wouldn’t the life simulator become just an ornament? Might as well use it all up and enhance his strength first!
“After cultivating the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique for ten years, progress is unlikely to be made. In that case…”
Lin Yuan’s gaze turned to the Intense Yang Saber Technique. Old routine. First, complete five years!
[Due to mastery of the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique, you have better control over your body and an extremely solid foundation of martial arts.]
[You diligently practiced the Intense Yang Saber Technique, and in the second year, you broke through to the Great Achievement Realm.]
[In the fourth year, you had reached the Threshold of Transformation Realm with the Intense Yang Saber Technique, achieving Perfect Mastery.]
[After reaching the mastery level, you continued diligent practice in the fifth year, faintly budding new insights. Unfortunately, the time was short, and you did not truly comprehend them…]
[Intense Yang Saber Technique (Perfected)]
[Remaining simulated lifespan: five years]
Lin Yuan’s heart stirred.
Is it possible to have new insights after mastering martial arts?
Could it be…
Without hesitation, he continued the simulation.
[Where there is a will, there is a way! You still diligently practiced the Intense Yang Saber Technique day and night.]
[In the second year, you made no progress and felt annoyed. What they say about having a will to achieve success is ninety-nine percent effort and one percent inspiration, but that one percent of inspiration is the most important.]
[In the fourth year, as you practiced the saber at noon, you looked up at the azure skies, suddenly feeling blessed, combining the Intense Yang Saber Technique with the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique, and with one strike…]
[You created a new martial art named – Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique.]
[Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique (Basic)]
[Remaining simulated lifespan: one year]
Lin Yuan let out a long breath.
A self-created martial art!
He looked at the introduction of martial arts with a joyful expression in his eyes.
[Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique (True Gang)]
[Realm: Basic]
[Special Effect: None]
Both the Intense Yang Saber Technique and the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique are martial arts of the Blood Exchange Realm. Under the insights gained from them, there was a qualitative improvement.
After the transformation of the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique, Lin Yuan’s second True Gang Realm martial art!
And his cultivation level also changed once again, progressing from the previous Tenfold Skin Refinement to the Triple Blood Exchange.
“With the completion of the Golden Skin and a very solid Triple Blood Exchange realm, less than the True Gang Realm, unless encountering some abnormal geniuses, I should be invincible…”
Feeling the surging blood energy in his body, Lin Yuan’s smile revealed a smugness.
The only thing to note is…
The martial arts of the Demon Suppression Bureau are strictly prohibited from being disseminated or learned without authorization.
And once the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique is used, there will be a sound of a tiger’s roar accompanying it, making it easy to be identified.
Endless troubles.
Having once served as a Master of the Guards, Lin Yuan naturally understood the power of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Just like Huang Lang’s kind of troublemakers, there are truly fierce and powerful individuals!
“Huh?”
While lost in thought, Lin Yuan’s ears suddenly moved, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
He got up slowly, pushed open the door, and stepped out.
In the square courtyard, the seasonal vegetables were planted, and Lin Xianyu stood behind the gate, talking to a middle-aged man with a plain face.
“Xiao Yu, I heard your elder brother got injured? Is everything okay?”
Li Sijin’s face showed concern, asking knowingly, but his gaze kept drifting toward the direction of the kitchen with a knowing look.
It smells really good!
Does it smell like stewed chicken?
“My brother is fine!”
Lin Xianyu dodged the hand that wanted to touch her head, frowned slightly, and looked alert. “Uncle Li, our family is running out of food too!”
“Don’t say that; Uncle wouldn’t be happy!”
At this, Li Sijin pretended to be displeased, his face stern:
“Uncle borrowed it before and has repaid it. When there’s money, it will naturally be repaid. Can I still default? But today, Uncle is neither borrowing food nor money. There’s a big deal to get big money to discuss with your brother…”
“We don’t do big deals!”
With bright big eyes, Lin Xianyu pinched her waist, trying to imitate the boldness of a neighborhood auntie.
Although she was young, she also knew that this neighbor Li was not very reliable.
A big deal to get rich?
Who would believe that!
“Little girl, what do you know!”
“After so many years as your old neighbor, can I still deceive you? Step aside, let me talk to your brother!”
Li Sijin appeared somewhat impatient, pushed her aside, and was about to walk into the house when he saw Lin Yuan’s figure stepping out of the room.
A plain voice followed:
“Tell me, what’s this big business about getting rich?”
