"Congratulations, host, you have entered the first level of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique: Copper Skin and Iron Bones."
The system notification sounded, and Ye Zi was stunned for a moment before her mental abilities returned. She saw corpses everywhere in front of her, with several more under her feet.
The Bai family soldiers around him looked at him with eyes filled with terror and madness.
Besides those terrified and crazed eyes, Ye Zi also saw countless dark gun barrels pointed at him.
"It's over, I'm going to die here."
Then the AK gunfire erupted, bullets flying from all sides.
Ye Zi's bloodshot eyes, the last glimmer of liveliness that had returned, were immediately replaced by madness.
Wielding his double maces to protect his head, he charged with all his might towards the nearest Bai family soldier, a scene of a tiger entering a flock of sheep being repeated once again.
But the process changed.
Previously, all the Bai family soldiers were pushing their comrades forward.
He was now firing and retreating frantically, ignoring bullets that missed and hit his comrades, just firing wildly at Ye Zi's location.
In a final desperate attempt, Ye Zi was struck by countless bullets. All the experiences of her past and present lives flashed through her mind, and she finally said helplessly:
"Sorry everyone, I've really messed things up this time. Goodbye."
"Take care, system girl."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and faced death.
The imagined feeling of being riddled with bullets didn't happen; instead, it felt like being ganged up on.
"Host, given the current situation, you shouldn't die unless a gun is shoved into your mouth," the system's weary voice sounded.
Ye Zi, having been thrown over by the impact of countless bullets, lay on the ground when she heard the system's voice and quickly asked:
"What's going on? How did I survive such a dense hail of bullets?"
The system didn't bother to say much more; a dialog box appeared in Ye Zi's mind, just like the first conversation when she arrived after the transmigration.
Ye Zi glanced at it; the top section was all system notifications, such as "enemy reinforcements have entered to scout the area" and "host, wake up!" The next part was the system asking if she wanted to cultivate the technique.
Until Ye Zi responded, but that response sounded like a muffled groan of injury.
Finally, there was that reminder from the source.
Ye Zi certainly knew about the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique; it was a cultivation method given as a gift in the beginner's gift pack.
"So, in other words, I've already started cultivating immortality, and these mortal attacks are useless against me?"
"No, it's not about cultivating immortality, but you have officially embarked on the path of body cultivation."
Ye Zi paused for a moment, then said:
"Isn't this the same thing? Aren't body cultivators also aiming for immortality?"
"No, although the gods appeared together, the two are not the same."
First, let's talk about cultivating immortality. After they enter the path, they will generate true qi in their bodies, but the improvement on their physical strength is negligible. In the later stages of cultivation, they can only mobilize the true qi and spiritual qi in their bodies for defense.
Even after becoming an immortal, their attack methods mainly involve using various spiritual and immortal energy to attack from outside their body, or controlling various magical treasures to bombard from a distance.
These kinds of practitioners are called spiritual cultivators, or immortals.
"I cultivate through body techniques, so my path is different?"
"That's right, body cultivators cultivate their physical bodies, using spiritual energy to temper their bodies so that they can withstand magical treasures."
Just like you now, even though you're only at the first level of beginner's level, you can already withstand bullets head-on.
The main characteristics are a rigid body, great strength, and ultimately, ascension to immortality through cultivation, earning them the title of "divine beings."
Ye Zi nodded, and then said:
"So, physical cultivation is stronger than spiritual cultivation, then why are there still so many people cultivating immortality?"
Just as Ye Zi finished expressing her doubts, she saw the last two words of the system's reply: "God-like person?" Why did it sound like such a compliment?
"Because the threshold for body cultivation is relatively high, and the cultivation process is somewhat like self-torture."
Without the ten Thousand-Jin Pills included in the beginner's gift pack, the host wouldn't be qualified to embark on the path of body cultivation.
Ye Zi focused all his attention on chatting with the system, not because he cared much about the difference between gods and immortals, but because he was being attacked by countless bullets and was in great pain, so he could only distract himself.
He continued to ask:
"You said we were going to take the bullets head-on, but why is it that I'm in pain all over my body right now?"
"Just tell me whether the bullet entered your body or not."
"No."
"Isn't this just taking bullets head-on?"
"Yes, but it hurts."
"I didn't say it wouldn't hurt. Host, you're just a beginner. It's already impressive that you can withstand bullets. If you want to ignore bullets, you need to continue training and temper your body."
Ye Zi looked at the last word, "temper the body" instead of "refine the body," and immediately understood why she felt pain.
While it's true that you can withstand bullets, your body strength isn't enough to ignore the impact of the bullets, so you'll feel pain.
Spiritual energy can indeed temper the body, but regular training is equally important. At the very least, it can help the leaf adapt to the pain of being attacked.
Just like now, after chatting with the system for a while, Ye Zi felt that the pain was not as bad as it had been at the beginning.
If at the beginning it was a group of adults beating you up, now it can only be considered a group of children beating you up.
The Bai family soldiers around Ye Zi continued firing wildly. When they ran out of bullets, they would give way, and the soldiers behind them would naturally fill in and continue to concentrate fire.
The soldiers who had escaped with Ye Zi rushed up and opened fire. After they ran out of bullets, they grabbed their comrades' magazines until the gun barrel handguards started smoking and they were dragged away by their comrades.
If the barrel explodes, the people around will be the ones who suffer; they have no choice but to be moved away.
However, this frantic shooting also had its advantages, namely, the psychological trauma caused by being frightened by the leaves had almost dissipated.
Change magazine, fire, change magazine, fire, back up when out of magazine.
No one cared that Ye Zi had been shot for so long, yet her body was still lying there perfectly fine.
The Bai family in the underground shelter also breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of monster did China send that was so fierce? But even the fiercest person died at their hands.
The question is whether China still has such formidable figures, and whether they will send one or more more. If that happens, their family will be finished.
It may seem like a long time, but in reality, the time Ye Zi was lying on the ground being targeted by the fire was only about five minutes.
"I suggest you flip it over. The front side is almost fully tempered, but the back side hasn't even started tempering yet," the system notification sounded again.
Ye Zi paused for a moment, feeling the pain from the bullet; it was indeed no different from being tickled. Then she got up.
The Bai family soldiers were still firing their routine shots when the corpse in front of them suddenly opened its eyes, sat up, stood up, and finally revealed a sinister smile with its face covered in blood.
The startled soldier, after regaining his senses, screamed in terror and pulled the trigger.
The surrounding soldiers reacted the same way, pausing for a moment before continuing to fire.
