"This is equivalent to someone who is not much stronger than an ordinary person consuming the flesh and blood of a beast at the peak of the Innate Realm."
"If a true first-life martial arts master were to come, they would likely be too weak to absorb the nourishment. Not only would they be unable to absorb the essence of flesh and blood, but their bodies would also be damaged, ending their martial arts path and causing them to die young!"
"Of course, I'm not in that danger."
As you leave the market, you frown, realizing someone has been following you.
As you turn into a narrow alley, two men and women approach from the front and back, staring at you with sinister grins. Crimson energy, like blades, extends from their hands, slicing through the wall with a single stroke, scattering stone fragments.
[They're actually two top-tier experts!]
"That's too powerful! Lao Shiyi isn't even a martial artist with internal energy yet!"
"As expected of the high-level plane Sea Soul Continent, even the NPCs who robbed us are top-tier experts!"
"Hey kid, what good stuff are you carrying?" the man asked in a sinister tone.
"Let me see it," the woman said, licking her lips.
"Collecting the bodies is a bit of a hassle," you shook your head. In the recent future, you had instantly blasted those two to pieces.
He snapped his fingers and walked out of the alley, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.
"You little brat, how dare you ignore me?!" The woman's expression changed instantly. The man behind you used his movement technique, moving silently like a phantom, and thrust his palm like a knife, aiming fiercely at your back!
Then, he vanished like a phantom, along with the woman.
They were annihilated by Xu Daolin from tens of thousands of miles away.
[You casually rented a guest room, had Xu Daolin throw you a ball of high-temperature elemental energy, and started cooking and savoring the meat and bones of the Shocking Hill Rat.]
[The "Refined Flesh Realm" generally refers to consuming raw flesh and blood for the most direct digestion to achieve the greatest enhancement effect. If the flesh and bones are cooked before consumption, the efficacy will be reduced by 90%.]
However, the level of the Hill-Shaking Rat is simply too high. Even if its effectiveness is only at 10%, and even if your true essence is ten times greater, requiring ten times the resources.
[But those twenty-five pounds of flesh and bone are still enough to clear this small realm for you!]
As you scoop up the meat, it's being rapidly digested and absorbed within your body.
[The body's basic strength begins to increase from over 1,000 jin (500 kg), and it can increase by about half a jin (250 kg) per second.]
"Although Xiao Guang provided me with resources that even included the beast meat balls needed for the lowest level, it still tastes better to eat what I earned myself."
"We'll use the resources in the spatial ring when we run out of some of the local specialties in the Azure Domain, or when we don't have enough."
You need to take a few minutes to digest every few bites, because it's really nutritious. It won't kill you, but it's not easy to digest.
When your basic strength reaches three thousand jin, your gaze shifts.
The core "Zun Yuan Dao Seal" trembled slightly.
[Internal strength has been generated within your body.]
[For a long period after the "Extreme Martial Arts System," internal strength and internal energy simply do not exist! It's similar to the demon race; after reaching the third realm, they can only ascend to the heavens by treading on qi as steel, and once their limbs are severed, they have no mobility whatsoever!]
However—the Zun Yuan system exists!
This is the advantage of cultivating again at the sixth realm: not only does it inherit the Holy Body that has evolved multiple times, but it also possesses the methods of other systems!
However, it's important to note that possessing multiple systems of methods does not necessarily mean that one's strength will be multiplied.
For a purely physical system like "Extreme Martial Arts," the addition of internal energy is indeed a significant enhancement, because it is so one-dimensional.
However, for systems like cultivation, the Venerable Origin Dao Seal offers little to no improvement. At most, it might add some unique variations to magical power, but it won't cause the strength of magical power and internal energy to stack; instead, it will take the highest value.
[This allows the cultivator's "essence, energy, and spirit" strength to reach the highest value across all systems, while inheriting the characteristics and variations of all systems.]
"During the 'Refined Flesh' stage, my physical strength could increase from about 1,200 jin to 10,000 jin... Currently, it's only 3,000 jin, which is equivalent to an Inner Strength martial artist in the Zun Yuan system."
In the "skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes" system of Extreme Martial Arts, refining the skin provides the least increase in strength, only raising your punching power from 1,000 jin to 1,200 jin. It is the refinement of the flesh that leads to a significant increase in combat power.
[You've only eaten less than a tenth of the Mudstalk Rat meat, yet your strength has already increased to over 5,000 jin. Feeling your body has reached its full capacity, you've stored the rest in your spatial ring, planning to eat it again later.]
"I digested too much at once; my body needs time to recover."
"A little over 5,000 jin, amplified to 2.5 million jin per punch! In just one adventure and the time it takes to eat a meal, my strength has increased more than fourfold!"
"Now that I've used my internal energy... I'm probably able to defeat an extremely powerful Grandmaster at the peak of their cultivation, someone who hasn't even undergone the Heavenly Origin Cleansing and already possesses several times the natural talent!"
"Or perhaps the Heavenly Origin Cleansing Technique has been partially completed."
"With foresight, I could defeat someone at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm!"
[The innate state is the second realm.]
[And you, right now, haven't even reached the first realm!]
"To fight an enemy across two major realms—such unparalleled skill has finally come my way!"
[Unfortunately, you currently lack the means to unleash your full power or burn your origin. Without recovering to the sixth realm, your descent can only bring back your normal strength, increasing your combat power to twice its normal level, not more than twice.]
"After reaching the sixth level of the Dao Seal, there are no more ways to unleash a burst of power."
Yun Shou shook his head; otherwise, three times of the descent would be comparable to four times now.
Over the next ten days or so, you rose to fame in the extraordinary "inner world" of Rimbaud City.
Everyone calls you "One-Punch Guardian of the Clouds."
[You've been incredibly brutal these past few days, like completing a quest involving the extermination of kobolds in the dungeons outside the city, which holds a great secret!]
[The Kobolds, despite their name, are more like lizardmen, standing less than a meter tall. They are said to possess extremely rare dragon blood, the kind from Western dragons.]
Most of them are relatively weak, too strong even for an adult male, but they possess abilities such as spitting acid, making them relatively threatening.
"A goblin-enhanced version, huh?"
[The kobold tribe you fought had a long-standing practice of systematically plundering people from villages outside the city. At the time, several apprentice wizards at the Zero Realm, newly awakened sorcerers, and first-rate martial artists were part of a kobold squad that infiltrated their lair. They were all wiped out.]
"The goblin defeated the S-rank adventurer, right?"
