Martial Arts: My talent multiplier increased

Fang Yuan was stunned, and silently murmured in disbelief, "System."

The next second, a semi-transparent blue panel appeared out of thin air in his field of vision.

[Host: Fang Yuan]

[Realm: Skin Refining Realm]

[Innate Talent Enhancement: 1x (Level 1 enhancement requires 10 taels of silver)]

[Pillar Skill Talent Enhancement: 1x (Level 1 enhancement requires 10 taels of silver)]

[System Function: Consume silver to permanently multiply your talent; there is no upper limit to the multiplier!]

system?

Fang Yuan suddenly sat up on the earthen bed and pinched himself hard. The clear pain proved that this was not a dream.

As a time traveler, how could he not know what a system was?

From the very beginning of his transmigration, he had been looking forward to it day and night, but sixteen years had passed and the system still hadn't appeared. He had long since given up hope, but unexpectedly, at this time when he was at his wit's end, the system finally arrived.

Moreover, it's a talent multiplication system!

Permanent multiplier amplification talent!

Fang Yuan stared intently at the words on the panel, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest.

He was trapped in the Skin Refining Realm for two years, which was ultimately due to his mediocre talent and poor physical constitution, resulting in slow blood circulation and no progress in martial arts.

This system can directly amplify talents, and it's a permanent, multiplier amplification.

If his innate talent were doubled, wouldn't his blood circulation efficiency also double?

Breaking through the Body Refining Realm in ten days might actually be possible.

Fang Yuanqiang suppressed his elation, immediately got out of bed, knelt on the ground, and reached under the bed to pry open a loose bluestone slab, revealing a small wooden box inside.

Opening the wooden box, one finds all his savings from the past sixteen years—ten taels of silver, gifts from elders during festivals, and wages he occasionally earned doing odd jobs at the martial arts hall; every penny was hard-earned.

Ten taels of silver is just enough for one upgrade.

Fang Yuan's gaze fell on the "Root Bone Talent Amplification" and "Pillar Skill Talent Amplification" on the panel without the slightest hesitation.

While talent in martial arts is important, the most pressing task right now is to break through to the Flesh Refining Realm within ten days. Root talent is directly related to the improvement of martial arts realm and is the foundation for breaking through to the Flesh Refining Realm. Only by first amplifying root talent can we see results as quickly as possible.

Fang Yuan silently thought to himself, "I need to enhance my innate talent."

The next moment, the silver in Fang Yuan's hand disappeared, and the panel in his sight flickered slightly.

Double the innate talent!

Fang Yuan's heart pounded again. He had thought it would only increase slightly, but it had actually doubled!

His past life's common sense told him that if an ordinary person's talent were doubled, it would be enough to make them a genius. He was originally just mediocre, but with twice the natural talent, his martial arts cultivation speed would far exceed that of ordinary people.

But soon, Fang Yuan frowned.

After the amplification was successful, his body did not change at all. There was no warm current flowing, no rumbling of muscles and bones, and not even a slight fluctuation of blood and qi. It was as if nothing had happened.

"Is there a problem with the system? Or is this boost just fake?"

A doubt arose in Fang Yuan's heart. If this system was just a mirage, then his last hope would be completely shattered.

"No, we have to try."

Fang Yuan suppressed his doubts, pushed open the door, and quietly walked to the center of the courtyard.

Night had fallen, and all was quiet. The room of my parents and sister was pitch black, with only the occasional chirping of insects coming from outside the courtyard.

The cool moonlight shone on the bluestone slabs of the courtyard, reflecting his tall and straight figure.

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan lowered his waist and stood up straight, taking a Ding-Ba step with both feet, and slowly unfolded his arms, assuming the starting stance of the "Crane Formation".

"Crane-Shaped Stance" is the Fang family's basic body-strengthening exercise, and it is also the foundation for refining the skin, tempering the bones and tendons, and nourishing the blood and qi. He has been practicing it day and night for two years and has already mastered it.

In the past, when he practiced standing meditation, the circulation of Qi and blood was slow, like a trickle, and he would become exhausted after only a short time. But today, the moment he focused his mind into his body and guided the flow of Qi and blood—

A surge of blood and energy, several times stronger than usual, burst forth from every part of his body without warning.

Like a sleeping dragon awakening, like a dried-up river welcoming a surging flood, the hot and condensed flow of qi and blood circulated wildly in his meridians without the slightest stagnation.

"hiss."

Fang Yuan couldn't help but gasp, his knees wobbled slightly, and he almost slipped out of the stance.

The amount of his vital energy was several times greater than when he cultivated in the past. With the support of twice the natural talent, every breath and every muscle movement he made could mobilize a vast amount of vital energy, far exceeding the trickle he used to experience.

Moreover, this flow of qi and blood seemed to have come alive, and under the guidance of the "Crane-shaped Stance," it frantically washed over his entire body.

The pseudo-limit membrane that had confined him for two years began to tremble slightly under the onslaught of this raging blood and qi, emitting a faint "humming" sound.

Fang Yuan was overjoyed, and all his doubts vanished instantly.

The system is real!

The boost from double the innate talent is real!

There's always a way out.

At this moment, Fang Yuan couldn't help but recall the hardships he had endured practicing martial arts regardless of the sweltering heat or bitter cold.

At that age when he was most playful, he was able to endure loneliness.

Many of the Fang family elders used him as a role model to discipline their own mischievous children, which led to him being ostracized by his peers and having no friends in the large Fang family compound.

But all of that is in the past now.

Fang Yuan knew that with the system, the gap between him and those geniuses would become smaller and smaller.

It won't be long before he can overtake them.

Fang Yuanqiang roused himself, steadied his stance, and let the powerful qi and blood circulate within his body, tempering his skin membranes again and again.

In the past, he would be exhausted of qi and blood and his muscles and bones would be sore after half an hour of standing meditation. But today, an hour passed, then two hours passed, and his body was still full of qi and blood. The heat flow kept washing over his skin, and he could clearly feel that his skin was becoming tighter and tougher.

He had always thought he had reached the limit of the Skin Refining Realm, but now he realized that it was only due to his mediocre talent. With the support of twice the talent of his innate bone structure, there was still a huge room for improvement in his Skin Refining Realm.

The true limit of the Skin Refining Realm is the key to breaking through the Flesh Refining Realm!

Time flew by as he focused on his cultivation. The sky gradually turned a pale white, the cold moonlight was replaced by the morning light, and the chill in the courtyard gradually dissipated, revealing the wet bluestone slabs—soaked with Fang Yuan's sweat.

Fang Yuan slowly finished his practice, exhaling a long breath of turbid air from his chest. A white arrow of energy shot straight away several feet away and dissipated in the morning light.

He looked down at his hands, his palms covered in calluses, yet brimming with power. His body was still full of vital energy, and his skin felt a tingling sensation, not from fatigue, but from the numbing sensation of a breakthrough.

He could clearly feel that his Skin Refining Realm had reached its true peak, and he was only one step away from the Flesh Refining Realm.

"Ten days is enough!"

Fang Yuan clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with intense light.
