Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 246 The Effects of Body Refinement

Tang San and the others gradually woke up, but everyone felt sore all over, and most of them could only last for one or two hours. Even Tang San, who had trained under the waterfall, did not last three hours.

Especially after everyone woke up, the numbness gradually disappeared, and every inch of their skin felt like it had been pricked by countless needles. This pain even penetrated to the bone marrow, making them wish they were dead.

Moreover, this pain was continuous, and he remained in this extreme suffering for a long time, looking incredibly miserable.

But while they had been unconscious for several hours, Yang Xiong was still alone on the Silver Pillar, continuing to be battered by the waves.

At this point, a full ten hours had passed since everyone started cultivating, and everyone was somewhat stunned by Yang Xiong's condition.

Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Senior Poseidon, how long has Yang Xiong been cultivating? Has he not taken a break in between?"

Looking at Yang Xiong's appearance, Poseidon said calmly, "So far, Yang Xiong has been practicing Tidal Body Tempering for ten hours. Not to mention that this is his first time practicing Tidal Body Tempering, even the Sea Dragon Douluo could only last this long in the end. Yang Xiong's physical fitness is indeed very good."

Even Poseidon was somewhat impressed at this moment. She knew all too well the pain of tidal body tempering, and Yang Xiong was only experiencing the tidal body tempering for the first time. The time it took was indeed a bit exaggerated.

Tang San seemed to have thought of something: "Senior, is Yang Xiong's physical strength so formidable because his martial soul is his own body?"

Poseidon nodded: "There is indeed some connection, but that's not the most crucial factor. I'm certain that Yang Xiong must have undergone extremely brutal training, and even pushed his body to its limits countless times, which is why he is so strong."

"Purely in terms of physical fitness, Yang Xiong is already comparable to a Title Douluo of around level 95, or even stronger. Among all the people I have ever met in my life, I'm afraid no one is as dedicated to physical cultivation as he is."

Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled, "Senior, how exactly did Yang Xiong cultivate such terrifying physical abilities? Why is it that no matter how much we ordinary soul masters cultivate, we can't reach this level?"

Poseidon shook his head: "I don't know about that, but judging from Yang Xiong's current physical condition and martial spirit, he must have had many fortuitous encounters. His martial spirit has probably evolved multiple times. In terms of martial spirit strength alone, it is probably no weaker than the world's top martial spirit."

Tang San was shocked to hear this. He couldn't help but think of the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum that Chrysanthemum Douluo had mentioned in the Star Dou Great Forest. If he had also taken the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, he would probably have been able to open up the eight meridians and cultivate an indestructible body.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong had grown up with Yang Xiong since childhood and knew even better about Yang Xiong's cultivation over the years, as well as the changes in Yang Xiong's martial soul each time.

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment before speaking: "I don't know either, but it seems that Xiao Xiongzi's martial soul has indeed changed. Do you remember when he first joined Shrek Academy, his martial soul was silver, but now it has turned blood red."

"And I remember when he first started school, his martial soul was colorless. When he summoned his martial soul and spirit rings, his body didn't change. But when he went to Shrek Academy, it turned silver."

"Moreover, he is Grandpa Bone's disciple. It seems that Grandpa Bone has been paying attention to his body tempering for a long time. He never lets me touch the poison used for body tempering."

Poseidon nodded, "I'm afraid Yang Xiong is using poison and rare herbs to temper his body, making his body and internal organs stronger. Perhaps he really has a bright future?"

……

On the pillar of silver, Yang Xiong's body seemed to have reached its limit. He was in excruciating pain all over his body. Every cell felt as if it were being impacted by waves. The pain even began to penetrate into his bone marrow. Especially in the waves, it felt like refined iron was being tempered in flames time and time again.

Yang Xiong was very clear that this Tide Body Refinement was the greatest opportunity on Seagod Island, and also the best opportunity for the body on Seagod Island. Under extreme pain, he could train his body to be even stronger.

In particular, one's own body is one's own martial spirit. When the waves train the body, it is like training one's own martial spirit. In this way, we may be able to truly complete the transformation.

Tidal Body Refinement is different from ordinary Body Refinement. The waves contain the power of the Sea God. Under the stimulation of the Sea God's power, even the soul bones can be tempered, which is somewhat similar to the Blood River in the City of Slaughter.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiong had exhausted every bit of his soul power and physical strength. His entire body felt as if it had undergone countless forgings, and every bone was filled with pain. Even the soul bone he had absorbed was experiencing a slight backlash, and under the battering of the waves, its original attributes were brought to their extreme.

The most crucial element, the Xuanming Armor, which is attached to the soul bone, received even more blows. It seemed that under the stimulation of divine power, the age of the soul bone increased extremely rapidly.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiong's willpower seemed to have reached its limit, but the waves continued relentlessly. Eventually, Yang Xiong gradually lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

When Yang Xiong regained consciousness, Ning Rongrong held him tightly in her arms, as if afraid that he would be hurt again.

At this moment, Yang Xiong felt as if his entire body had completely lost sensation. His whole body was numb, as if thousands of needles were piercing every cell in his body. He felt as if he were in hell.

Seeing that Yang Xiong had regained consciousness, Ning Rongrong quickly said, "Little Xiongzi, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you just now. You looked really scary."

Yang Xiong forced himself to sit up: "Rongrong, how are you feeling now? How did everyone's body tempering go this time?"

Ning Rongrong and the others exchanged glances, a hint of dejection in their eyes: "Everyone is gradually recovering, but we can generally only last about two hours. I'm afraid things will get very troublesome next." Now everyone was beginning to understand the difficulty of the Tide Body Refinement. This test was probably the most difficult and painful of all the tests.

It's important to know that everyone present was at least at the Black Level 4 test and at most at the Red Level 7 test, but they couldn't even complete half of the assessment in time. At this rate, they had no chance of completing the assessment.

Of everyone present, only Yang Xiong managed to reach fourteen hours, just meeting the standard for the Tide Body Refinement assessment. However, the road ahead was still very long, as this assessment would take a full year.

Yang Xiong remained silent for a while before speaking: "Oscar, how are you doing now? Have you started to recover your soul power?"

Oscar nodded, "I've just recovered a little of my soul power. If I want to fully recover, it will probably take another six or seven hours."

Oscar's physical recovery ability has greatly increased due to absorbing the 100,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King's torso soul bone. In particular, the top-grade power-type soul bone can protect the whole body.

Yang Xiong took out a lot of recovery herbs from his body, which he obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well or the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Oscar, recover your soul power as soon as possible. If you have enough soul power, make as many super recovery sausages as possible. Next, when everyone is doing Tidal Body Refinement, carry a few sausages with you. This may help you recover your soul power and allow you to last longer."

Oscar didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, Xiong Ge, I'll try to make as many super recovery sausages as possible."

Oscar is now a Soul Saint, so he consumes very little energy when using his first Soul Skill, which is why he can make a large number of sausages each time.

Yang Xiong then looked at everyone and said, "I know you are all in pain, but based on my past experience in body tempering, the effect of cultivating at this time is actually the best. Tidal Body Tempering has no side effects and is better than any rare and precious material in the world. It can even promote your body to become stronger again. This effect is better than improving soul power."

Ning Rongrong and the others nodded; they had absolute trust in Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong looked at Oscar and said, "Oscar, your martial soul is special. You may not be able to persist for very long in the early stages, but if you use your soul power more after each body tempering, it will be very beneficial to both your body and your martial soul."

Oscar laughed and said, "Thanks for the reminder, Xiong-ge. I'll try to make more sausages every day from now on, and I'll take care of everyone's logistics."

After everyone completed their tidal body training, Poseidon arranged for a large amount of food to be delivered, which helped them recover their strength.

Yang Xiong recovered very quickly; just a few hours later, the pain gradually disappeared, and he was able to move around freely.

Yang Xiong summoned Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu alone. These two were the most difficult among Yang Xiong's eight men, but they also represented the greatest opportunity for them.

Yang Xiong first looked at Shui Bing'er: "Sister Bing'er, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Shui Bing'er looked much stronger than before: "Yang Xiong, I find it strange that after the Tide Body Tempering, my recovery speed seems to be much faster than others. I think I should be able to adapt to the content of the assessment as soon as possible."

Yang Xiong nodded: "Your martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, which has powerful ice attributes. In a sense, it is of the same origin as water attributes. This Tide Body Refinement is not just simple ocean waves. It should also contain the divine power of the Sea God. You are a Red-level Seventh Trial, which should be related to your own attributes."

"So this is an excellent opportunity for you, which may make your Ice Phoenix truly perfect, and even make your foundation reach an unprecedented level of strength."

Shui Bing'er seemed thoughtful upon hearing this: "Thank you for your guidance. I have been cultivating with all my might."

After Shui Bing'er left, Yang Xiong looked at Huo Wu again: "Huo Wu, how did you feel about today's Tidal Body Refinement?"

Huo Wu didn't hesitate: "Teacher, today is my first time using the Tidal Body Tempering method, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it. Next time, I'll definitely be able to last longer and meet the assessment standards."

Yang Xiong said seriously, "Your standard is not just eight hours a day. My requirement is that you work at least twelve hours a day or even longer in the later stages, and the average assessment time must reach ten hours."

Huo Wu was startled when she heard this, but she immediately became very serious: "Teacher, I will definitely try my best to persevere and I will definitely be able to meet your requirements."

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "With your aptitude and martial spirit, an average of ten hours is nothing. Do you remember what I told you about the second awakening of your main martial spirit?"

"After so many years of research, I have found that for a martial soul to awaken a second time, it must be in a life-or-death situation. Tidal Body Refinement is the perfect place for a martial soul to awaken a second time. Perhaps after this Tidal Body Refinement, your strength and even your talent will undergo a qualitative change, and you may even be comparable to the most powerful martial soul in history."
