Training Method: Mind-Awakening Breathing Technique (First Stage of Perfection)

"Is this the effect of the first level of perfection?"

Lin Qi stared at the power displayed on the panel, momentarily dazed.

Regarding martial artists, I learned a bit from Qin Mu. I know that when a quasi-martial artist becomes a martial artist, all the cells in their body will undergo a second tempering by the energy of energy ore. When the first second tempering is completed, their physical fitness will experience a rapid improvement.

The increase is approximately 200 kilograms, and those who have a high degree of completion in the secondary quenching will see a greater increase.

However, he hasn't even learned the second level of the Shocking Breathing Technique yet, which means he hasn't started the secondary tempering of his cells, but his physical fitness has already undergone a qualitative improvement, which is simply unbelievable.

Not to mention the sheer density of his blood energy now, which is almost as strong as that of Von Gelin when they first met.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qi casually threw a punch.

boom!

A loud bang echoed throughout the cave, leaving a faint fist-shaped mark on the rock wall several meters high.

"Is hitting the air really that effective?" Lin Qi looked at the fist imprint on the rock wall. It was just like a palm strike from a martial arts novel. And this was just a casual punch from him, without any technique, just pure speed and power. "If I add my 10% strength buff, my punch should be close to 1500 kilograms. With this speed, if I were to face a master wearing A6-level armor, I could probably easily take them down without any martial arts skills."

After testing his own strength, Lin Qi then tried out various martial arts techniques in the cave.

Rock-Smashing Fist!

Leopard Shadow Step!

Lightning Palm!

He only stopped, satisfied, after demonstrating all his fist and foot techniques more than ten times.

"Martial artists are indeed far superior to quasi-martial artists." Lin Qi looked at the rock wall in front of him, which had been blasted with several large holes, and couldn't help but marvel at the power of martial artists. He even understood why the status of martial artists was completely different from that of quasi-martial artists. Even if a martial artist had just been promoted to martial artist, their combat power was something that quasi-martial artists could not easily match.

Normally, a quasi-martial artist breaks through to become a martial artist by first raising their blood and qi to the limit of their body, raising it to the point where it can't be raised any higher, and then practicing the second level of the martial artist-level training method. They use energy minerals to stimulate their cells and finally transform into a martial artist.

However, most aspiring martial artists often believe that their blood and energy have reached their limit and begin to try to break through. As a result, their blood and energy are insufficient, causing their body cells to be unable to withstand the stimulation of energy minerals, ultimately leading to their death.

A martial artist who has just broken through to the next level should generally have a strength of over 1200 kilograms; there are no martial artists with a strength of less than 1200 kilograms.

A quasi-martial artist can make up for a 200-kilogram difference in strength with martial arts techniques, but the effect of a martial artist using martial arts-level techniques is worlds apart from that of a quasi-martial artist using martial arts-level techniques, or rather, the attack range is worlds apart.

The apprentice-level skills, such as the Crushing Stone Fist and the Leopard Shadow Step, are nothing special. However, the martial arts skill, the Thunder Palm, which is used by quasi-martial artists, requires striking the opponent directly.

But after he became a martial artist, when he used it, his palm strike was truly a bolt of lightning. The rock wall five or six meters away looked as if it had really been hit by the lightning palm, and a large hole was blasted in it.

This kind of attack, with its unchanged power but greatly increased range, is like a one-sided massacre against an opponent of similar strength—it's like one person fighting bare-handed while the other is armed with a pistol.

Lin Qi then spent another night familiarizing himself with the combat methods of martial artists using weapons.

Lin Qi remained engrossed in his swordsmanship until the early morning of the next day, only stopping when the jungler guarding the gate sent him a message via his smartwatch.

"They really came." Lin Qi frowned slightly as he looked at the text message sent by the player.

The message from the jungler was very short, just a few words.

The Great Ape Gang is attacking!

"It's time to let these players test their skills." After replying with a "received," Lin Qi glanced at the players cultivating in the small energy mine, and a sense of confidence rose in his heart.

After a day and a night of frantic improvement, the overall strength of the players in Red Moon Mountain is now far beyond what it used to be.

Currently, there are as many as 40 advanced apprentices, 15 extreme apprentices, 5 quasi-martial artists, and the rest are intermediate apprentices.

This force is already stronger than established gangs like the Green Sparrow Gang on the surface, and can even rival those gangs ranked in the top thirty.

And this is only the apparent strength of the players. The real situation is that these players all possess martial arts skills at the warrior level, and can fight against opponents of higher levels.

However, compared to players who have mastered martial arts skills, the ones who have improved the most in this day and night are still the experts like Luo Wushang.

Especially Luo Wushang, Li Ranxing, Fang Zhen, Zhao Hu, Ye Qinglu, Zhang Qingwei, Xiaowan Ye Fengkuang, and Chen Ya, these eight people are simply extraordinary.

The latest novel is first published here!

In less than a night, all eight of them learned the body-strengthening secret technique. They are now all beginners in the technique, with at least 3% and some as many as 5%.

The physical resilience of these eight people is simply incredible. Their skin is tougher than cowhide, yet it remains smooth as jade. The muscles beneath their skin are as hard as stone. If they were to be attacked with ordinary punches and kicks without weapons, it would be difficult for someone of the same level to cause serious injury; at most, they would only suffer minor injuries.

However, what's most terrifying about the eight isn't their physical strength, but their regenerative abilities.

After mastering the technique, all eight tested the weapons on their own bodies. Superficial wounds healed in just a few minutes, while injuries to tendons and bones recovered about 50-60% in about ten minutes.

As for the internal injuries caused by the strong impact, as long as the internal organs are not shattered on the spot, the impact on combat power is not too great, making them practically humanoid monsters.

And this is only the beginning for the eight of them. Once they reach a proficient level, their physical resilience and recovery ability will be further improved.

However, thanks to these eight people, Lin Qi was able to extract the proficiency of six of them at the first opportunity in the early morning.

Now his body-strengthening technique has reached the entry level of 15%. In addition, since he is a martial artist, the cells in his body have undergone a transformation, making his body's toughness and recovery ability even more terrifying.

Lin Qi even doubted that his current body could withstand a punch from a quasi-martial artist without using any martial arts techniques, and he would probably be completely unharmed, without needing the protection of his A6-level battle armor.

"Master, everyone has been gathered."

Zhang Qingwei walked up to Lin Qi and excitedly reported to his superior.

While the jungler hero reported the news, all members of Tianwei were also notified. Now everyone knows that the Great Ape Gang has arrived at the city gates, and the battle to defend Chiyue Mountain is finally about to begin.

"Alright! Everyone, come with me. Let's have a good look at the Great Ape Gang!"

Lin Qi nodded to the group who were all ready, then turned and walked out of the cave.
