I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 113 The Dao Heart Transforms into Demon, the Root Bone is Reshaped

This must be another team from Ji Guo.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Ye Li thought to himself that he was somewhat surprised by her age.

So young! Ye Li thought to himself, "No wonder she's from Ji Kingdom. Among all the people I know, this girl's talent is second only to mine!"

Therefore, when asked, Ye Li cupped his hands and said, "My name is Ye Li. Thank you for saving my master, young lady. I will repay this kindness in the future."

.

Upon seeing Ye Li in front of her, Wei Wanxi couldn't help but feel a sense of inquiry.

Just yesterday, a message suddenly appeared in her mind: one of the opposing team's Perfected Body Tempering members had been killed, reducing their numbers by 1.

Seeing Ye Li return from the competition, they couldn't help but wonder if Ye Li was behind it.

After a simple bow of thanks, Ye Li cut to the chase: "Miss Wei, we are now trapped in Guangming. Do you have any plans to escape and defeat the enemy?"

The girl fell into a brief silence, her gaze unconsciously drifting to her right arm, which was unable to hold a sword: "There is no good solution yet, we can only endure it for now, and plan our next move after the injury heals."

Ye Li slowly nodded and said, "If that's the case, how many days can the city's food supplies last? How many post-natal experts are still alive?"

"Besides me and Chief Zheng, we can currently contact only twenty Acquired Realm cultivators. Among them, only one is at the Perfect Acquired Realm, three are at the Late Stage, eight are at the Mid Stage, and the rest are at the Early Stage," Li Guancai said.

"So many?" Ye Li was somewhat surprised.

"Those with slightly lower cultivation levels were either killed or infected during the first wave of the blood zombie horde. Only those of us with decent strength managed to escape," one of the Acquired cultivators explained.

At this point, everyone's faces fell.

The number of people hidden in Guangming is now roughly equal to that of the Blood Corpse of the Poison Wolf.

However, they were afraid of being infected by the corpse virus, and their key high-level combat force was all injured.

"Do you know the enemy's entry?" Ye Li asked.

After listening, Wei Wanxi said, "In this battle, we should focus on the three people who came from outside the city. The leader manipulates blood corpses, which is somewhat similar to the corpse-driving method in the Southern Territory, but his immortality is similar to that of the vampires of the Western Regions."

"The second path to cultivation is the Way of Witchcraft and Sorcery, and the entry should be the rare [Dao Heart to Demon].

"[Changing one's Dao heart from demonic possession]? That sounds vaguely familiar."

Based on the information he had collected over this period, Ye Li knew that this seemed to be some kind of word that could manipulate people's minds and amplify their fear.

It's somewhat similar to Yang Shichang's "confusion and bewilderment" back then.

Wei Wanxi explained, "The combination of witchcraft and the [Dao Heart to Demon] technique can plant a demonic seed in people's hearts, amplify fear, and randomly attach it to external objects."

"What do you mean?" Ye Li asked, puzzled.

"Simply put, it's about amplifying your deepest fears tenfold and attaching them to other things."

Li Guancai explained, "For example, if you are most afraid of ghosts, he will amplify that fear and attach it to the concept of stones or trees."

"With this weakness, you'll be more terrified of stones than ghosts from now on."

Ye Li's lips twitched as he thought about what he was afraid of: ghosts, the dark, the deep sea, snakes—it seemed like he was afraid of all of them.

If this feeling of fear were amplified a thousandfold and then attached to the air, then every breath would probably trigger a terror attack.

"What an insidious ability!" Ye Li thought to himself.

"And what about the third person?" Ye Li asked.

"He's a towering giant, mid-stage acquired realm cultivator. His attribute ability should be at the blue level of power enhancement, but his physical strength is truly remarkable."

Wei Wanxi pursed her lips and said, "To be able to withstand two of my sword strikes and survive, even with pure physical strength, one can rival a late-stage martial artist."

"As for the remaining four, I have already beheaded them with a single sword strike, so there's no need to consider them."

Ye Li nodded secretly, and after understanding the situation, he said, "Okay, I understand enough. You guys go ahead with your work, I'll take care of it."

After saying that, under the strange gazes of everyone, Ye Li walked up to Elder Jiang and said, "Elder Jiang, if you go out next, could you help me find some things to bring back?"

As he spoke, Ye Li leaned close to the old man's ear and told him what he needed, causing the old man's eyes to widen: "What do you need this for?"

"Hmm...maybe, maybe we'll need it." Ye Li didn't know how to explain, so he could only say, "Just make sure you wrap it up tightly, there won't be any problems."

Although it was a bit difficult, Old Jiang looked at the earnest young man in front of him and nodded helplessly, saying, "Alright, I'll put the things outside and you can go out and handle it yourself."

After arranging things, Ye Li walked to a corner and sat down silently.

The next moment, he took out a perfectly round golden pill the size of a longan from his pocket. As they smelled its fragrance, everyone's expressions changed.

Before they could even be shocked, Ye Li swallowed it whole, feeling a surge of heat throughout his abdomen.

When a martial artist takes the Heaven-Mending Pill, its medicinal power will integrate into their heart meridian and circulate throughout their body day and night with their blood and qi, cleansing their marrow and fundamentally improving their aptitude.

The cultivation technique Ye Li finally received, the "Marrow Cleansing Classic," categorizes people's aptitude into four grades: A, B, C, and D, and provides each person with a method to test their aptitude.

Different aptitudes result in different cultivation speeds.

The cultivation speed mentioned here refers to the accumulation speed of each small stage within each realm, such as from the early stage of the acquired realm to the peak of the early stage of the acquired realm.

As for breaking through from the initial stage to the middle stage, it requires not only innate talent but also comprehension, and is not only related to aptitude.

In the aptitude levels, A, B, C, and D represent the limits of aptitude for ordinary people. Each level is further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower, with the difference in innate talent between each grade being approximately twice.

Most mortals are ordinary, lower-grade Class C, and need to cultivate diligently for a year to reach the Body Tempering stage.

The intermediate level (C) refers to those with decent talent who, through normal cultivation, can enter the realm within six months; they are roughly one in a hundred.

Next, the top-tier Class C is those that enter in March, selected from among thousands.

According to the description of the cultivation technique, Ye Li tested his own physical constitution, which was roughly at the intermediate level of Grade B.

This test result is outrageous, because according to the speed of cultivation, a level B intermediate cultivator can enter the country in just over twenty days.

However, Yu Jing's cultivation method is special. Each breakthrough in realm cleanses his roots and bones, and the saying of the acquired Dao embryo is well-deserved.

In other words, the better one's innate talent, the higher one's realm, and the higher one's realm, the better the effect of cleansing one's innate talent!

After an ordinary martial artist breaks through to the Acquired Realm, their innate bones, after being cleansed, are generally at the lower grade of B.

Ye Li has always achieved perfect breakthroughs, and now, even without relying on his [world-shaking wisdom], it is indeed normal for him to enter the country in more than twenty days from scratch.

If the refining and qi-transforming effects of the [White Yang Furnace] are added, Ye Li might even be able to barely reach the second-class aptitude.

After swallowing the Heaven-Mending Pill, Ye Li sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated his internal energy according to the method of the Marrow Cleansing Classic to digest the pill.

One pill is a sacred medicine to improve one's aptitude, and the other is a scripture to improve one's aptitude.

With the two forces complementing each other, Ye Li felt as if his bone marrow was being scorched by a raging fire, driven by his internal energy, and his physique began to be reshaped.
