The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

A series of new body-refining achievements were attained.

This brought a smile of relief and satisfaction to Ye Xiao's face.

"It seems all the hardship I endured during my body training wasn't in vain!"

He achieved the highest level of pain adaptation, [Level V], in one go!

Reduce his pain perception by 50%!

The presence of pain serves a protective function for the human body.

Because people can determine where their body is injured by feeling pain.

However, the intense pain can also affect combat ability.

Ye Xiao's pain perception has now decreased by half.

He could still feel the pain.

But in a way, it significantly boosted Ye Xiao's combat power.

Not only that.

He also gained a new ability as a result: pain shielding!

[Effect: After activating the skill, you will not feel any pain for the next 15 seconds!]

Within 15 seconds, you will not feel any pain!

It's easy to imagine Ye Xiao in this state.

I can no longer feel any pain.

This means that he can go all out in every attack!

And the enemy's offensive.

They simply cannot defeat Ye Xiao!

Because Ye Xiao cannot feel pain.

Since it doesn't feel pain, how can its fighting ability be reduced due to injury?

However, this state ability.

It is also a sharp double-edged sword!

Without the ability to feel pain, one might not even notice if their hand is severed, their head is split open, or they are stabbed in the chest.

Ye Xiao knew very well that he had to use this ability with caution.

.......

After resting for two hours.

Ye Xiao walked towards the second machine: the Flesh and Blood Grinding Mill!

He has already tasted the sweetness of this almost torturous body tempering!

Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossoms exude their fragrant aroma?

After the extreme physical torment.

The benefits it brought were beyond his imagination!

Moreover, Ye Xiao has the [Martial Heart Mall], which allows him to swallow various medicines, making his recovery process very fast.

Before me lay a huge cylinder on the ground, its inner walls covered with protruding metal lumps, like countless fists.

Ye Xiao stood in front of the roller, looking at the dark entrance.

It was very dark inside; you couldn't see anything.

Only a metallic and oily smell wafted out, like the open mouth of a giant beast.

"How do I turn this thing on?" Ye Xiao was still pondering.

Just then, a voice came from behind Ye Xiao.

"Brother Xiao, you really are here!"

Ye Xiao turned around and was surprised to see Fatty Wang arrive.

He was carrying breakfast in his hand, his expression complex.

"Why are you here?"

"I woke up this morning and found you weren't in the dorm." Fatty Wang walked in and put breakfast aside. "Then I guessed you might be here, so I came over and found you were indeed here."

"Xiao-ge, I brought you breakfast, have some."

Ye Xiao smiled and nodded, then went to eat the breakfast that Fatty Wang had brought.

Fatty Wang looked at the blood and gore millstone and swallowed hard.

"Brother Xiao, do you know what this thing is called? It's a meat grinder! People who go in come out a bloody mess. You really want to try it?"

Ye Xiao nodded vaguely as he ate his breakfast.

"try!"

Fatty Wang was somewhat helpless. He could see that once Ye Xiao made up his mind, nothing could sway him.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Xiao bent down and crawled into the roller of the flesh and blood grinding disc.

It's narrow inside, just big enough for one person to lie down.

The protrusions on the inner wall pressed against my back, causing a sharp pain.

He lay flat, crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and uttered a sound.

"start up!"

Fatty Wang hesitated for a moment, then pressed the start button, setting the gear to the lowest setting.

The rollers start to rotate.

The speed was very slow, one lap, two laps, three laps...

Those raised bumps came crashing down from all directions—on my back, on my shoulders, on my ribs, on my thighs.

Ye Xiao didn't feel any pain; it felt like someone was gently patting him.

This is also because his Ultimate Martial Body is at the third realm.

His physical strength had already been significantly improved.

Therefore, Ye Xiao was able to withstand the first level of the flesh and blood grinding wheel.

"Increase the rotation speed!" Ye Xiao shouted.

Fatty Wang turned the knob to the second position.

The rollers are spinning faster.

The force of the bump hitting him increased, like someone was punching him.

One blow, two blows, three blows—his entire body was being hit simultaneously, like being surrounded and beaten by a dozen people.

"Third gear."

Wang Hou's hands were trembling. "Brother Xiao, you'll get hurt."

"Turn!" Just one word, but with a resolute tone.

Three gears.

The drum is spinning rapidly.

The bumps came down like raindrops, dense, heavy, and impossible to hide from.

Ye Xiao's body writhed inside, like a piece of meat thrown into a blender.

pain!

My whole body aches!

Back, chest, ribs, thighs, arms—every inch of skin was being smashed, every muscle was being crushed.

He gritted his teeth, trying not to scream.

At the same time, I comforted myself, saying, "Pain is normal! Pain is part of the evolutionary process!"

Ye Xiao could hear the system notification sounds constantly ringing in his ears.

[Ding! Your Extreme Martial Body has gained a large amount of body-refining power!]

[Ding! Your Extreme Martial Body has gained a large amount of body-refining power!]

【……】

Every sound he heard became a source of motivation for Ye Xiao to persevere.

"Fourth gear."

"No way!" Wang Hou shouted, "Fourth gear will kill people!"

"change!!!"

Fatty Wang gritted his teeth and turned the knob to the fourth position.

The rollers emitted a piercing roar.

The force with which the lump struck felt like being hit by a hammer.

Ye Xiao felt as if he had been stuffed into a giant millstone, being crushed, pressed, and ground.

The bones creaked and cracked, as if they were about to break.

The skin cracked, blood seeped out, mixed with sweat, and coated the inside of the roller with a layer of red.

He closed his eyes.

It hurts! It hurts so much!!

But he did not call a halt.

Because he knew that every bit of pain was making his body stronger.

Every wound is his armor.

Each crushing action compresses the flesh and blood, making it denser, tighter, and harder.

Ye Xiao sensed that his limit was fourth gear, and he couldn't go any higher!

So he maintained the intensity at level four.

He stayed inside for ten minutes.

Finally, at the moment he shouted "It's over."

Fatty Wang's trembling hands stopped the machine.

When Ye Xiao came out, he was covered in blood.

It's not flowing, it's seeping!

My skin is covered with tiny wounds, as if it has been sanded.

Blood seeped from the wound, staining him a blood-soaked figure.

Fatty Wang stood to the side, his face deathly pale: "Brother Xiao, are you... are you alright?"

Ye Xiao is like a madman.

It brought Wang Pangzi an unprecedented visual impact!

He couldn't imagine that someone would be so cruel as to torture their own body in order to cultivate and become stronger!

"It feels pretty good!"

Even though Ye Xiao was covered in blood, he still had the leisure to grin at Fatty Wang.

And just then...

The path to becoming a strongman that Ye Xiao had been looking forward to once again shone brightly!

"A new milestone has been achieved!"

"This is the time we look forward to the most!"

"It seems that once the amount of body tempering power acquired reaches the required level, these corresponding achievements will be automatically activated."
