From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 154 Breakthrough of the White Ape Fist

"Pfft!"

Mo Yuan's blade flashed like lightning, carrying a fierce and ruthless momentum. Like a hot knife through butter, it cleanly and decisively severed the enormous head of the Riftwind Iron Feather Heron.

Bright red, scalding bird blood splattered out, staining the afterglow of the setting sun with a poignant crimson hue.

"Snap!"

The enormous bird head rolled off, breaking several thick ironwood branches, and crashed heavily to the ground.

Su Yu sheathed his sword, grabbed the Iron-feathered Heron's wing—which looked like it was cast from refined iron—with one hand, and leaped down from the centuries-old ironwood, hundreds of feet high. Just before landing, he took a step in mid-air to stop his descent and landed lightly on the ground.

Looking down at the enormous corpse of the strange beast, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Yu's eyes.

The Iron-feathered Heron's hard iron feathers are comparable to three acupoints. If it weren't for the spiral armor-piercing properties of the Coin Throw and the advantage of its five senses connecting with the divine to launch a sneak attack, killing this Iron-feathered Heron would not have been so easy.

Putting aside its powerful iron feather defense, just letting it fly into the air would make it difficult to kill even if I could defeat it.

Xuan Turtle Island, riverbank.

As night fell, a bonfire made of sturdy ironwood roared, dispelling the surrounding cold, dampness, and darkness.

On the huge fire grill, the plucked feathers of the Iron-feathered Heron were roasted to a golden-brown crisp. The fat sizzled under the high temperature, dripping along its plump texture onto the charcoal fire, releasing an enticing aroma.

"Let's eat!"

Su Yu tore off a bird's leg that was almost half a person's height, and without caring that it was hot, he started to bite into it.

"hiss!"

The crispy on the outside and tender on the inside meat chunks are not only chewy and flavorful, but also contain a burst of intense energy.

The surging blood and qi, as if drawn by a powerful suction, were no longer confined to the limbs and torso, but flowed wildly...

Flushing upwards!

They surged through the great dragon of the spine, crossed the great cervical vertebra, and reached the most mysterious and dangerous pass, the Heavenly Spirit Aperture, at the back of the head!

"boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed in Su Yu's mind.

His Heavenly Aperture was like a star suspended in the sky, violently drawing in and purifying the blood and qi throughout his body! His spirit was like a soul freed from the constraints of his body, looking down upon this physical form.

"call!"

If anyone were nearby, they would be horrified to discover that the pores on Su Yu's head opened instantly, and a visible crimson blood aura, like the smoke from a beacon tower, rose up scorchingly, more than five feet long, condensing and not dissipating!

This is a sign that the Qi and blood are beginning to leave the body and rise like smoke from a wolf's beak!

This is a sign that the Skin Tempering Realm is about to be perfected and that one's Qi and Blood have reached their peak!

At the same time, with the opening of the Heavenly Aperture, the skin membranes of Su Yu's entire body seemed to truly become a whole.

From the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet, to the Laogong point on the palms, then to the chest, abdomen, and back, finally converging at the Tianling point.

All weaknesses have been completely eliminated!

At this moment, there was no weak point on his body. Even his vulnerable throat and the back of his head were covered with skin as tough as old cowhide, and ordinary swords and knives could not hurt him in the slightest!

"These are the three acupoints! I've finally broken through!"

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light shimmering within them. He could clearly hear the sound of his blood flowing, heavy and powerful like lead and mercury, and feel the terrifying force pumped out with each heartbeat.

"Give it a try!"

"Whoosh!"

With a slight movement, Su Yu darted out like a gust of wind.

He ran at breakneck speed across the beach, the wind whistling past his ears, the scenery rushing by. He covered a hundred paces in just a few breaths, leaving only a trail of shallow footprints behind him.

"His normal speed has increased by at least 30%! If he were to unleash the Thunderclap Step, his speed would be even more terrifying!"

After testing his speed, Su Yu twisted his body and soared into the air like a white ape climbing a rock, instantly leaping into the dense forest not far from the shore.

Before him stood a wild ironwood tree, as thick as a person could hug.

"open!"

Su Yu did not use any martial arts techniques; he simply mobilized his qi and blood and threw a punch.

"Crack—Boom!"

A crisp sound.

The tree trunk, as hard as iron, was snapped in half by this punch! The broken upper half of the trunk flew out with a whoosh and crashed into another ironwood tree not far away, knocking it over as well.

"Terrifying power!"

Su Yu looked at his fist and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"While this wild ironwood isn't as sturdy as a specially crafted ironwood stake, it's still comparable to the defense of a secondary acupoint. My punch—the sheer power of it increased by at least 40-50%! That's even more noticeable than the increase in speed!"

"If I were to activate the Black Stone Armor again, I estimate that, just like when I activated the second acupoint, I would be stronger than most martial artists at the third acupoint level. Only martial artists at the Perfected Realm could suppress me!"

A hint of confidence flashed in Su Yu's eyes: "Let's test the current progress of my White Ape Fist proficiency!"

He quickly finished performing the complete White Ape Fist again.

[White Ape Fist Proficiency +15]

"My proficiency hasn't changed, but I feel like my physical endurance has increased. Before, fifteen times a day was my limit, but now I can probably do twenty."

Su Yu was in a great mood.

This adventure, which lasted only two days, not only resulted in the capture of a rare and exotic beast, but also allowed the individual to break through to a higher realm. This was a huge windfall.

After finishing off all the remaining Iron Feather Heron meat from yesterday, Su Yu reached 15% of the breakthrough point and patted his belly contentedly.

For the rest of the time, he did not practice the White Ape Fist or other martial arts. Instead, he took off his clothes and plunged into the water.

"Now that we're by the water, it's time to practice the Azure Wave Fish and Dragon Skill!"
