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

"here we go!"

"Xiao Ge is starting to climb up!"

"Can he climb to the top?"

Wang Pangzi's heart was in his throat.

He was more nervous than anyone else at that moment.

More than anyone else, I hope Ye Xiao can succeed!

Ye Xiao's face flushed red, his fingers began to tremble, and the excruciating pain was stimulating his brain.

But he clung to Qingshan relentlessly.

Then, inch by inch, they climbed upwards.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

Sweat dripped from his forehead, falling onto the pillar and then onto the ground with a soft "plop" sound.

My arms were shaking, my fingers were shaking, my whole body was shaking.

Even so, Ye Xiao did not stop.

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

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

【……】

This time, Ye Xiao's body refinement began with obtaining a massive amount of body refinement power.

But he couldn't feel happy at all.

Because he has no time to be happy.

The Thousand Pillar is hellish difficulty from the start.

Ye Xiao's mind was completely focused on climbing higher, and he didn't care about anything else.

Nine meters, ten meters, eleven meters...

Fatty Wang stood below, head tilted back, not daring to utter a sound.

They were afraid that any noise would disturb Ye Xiao.

He watched Ye Xiao's figure pressed against the pillar, like a gecko, like a rock climber, like a madman.

"Brother Xiao..."

Wang Pangzi thought to himself, "After today, I am completely in awe of you. Your willpower is even stronger than that of those superhumans!"

"Although the world looks down on E-rank martial artists, throughout history, no E-rank profession has ever been able to achieve the status of a transcendent being."

"But I think that if there is one E-level extraordinary person in this world, it must be you, Brother Xiao!"

"If you fail, Heaven is unjust, and the world has failed you in your efforts and sacrifices!"

Fifteen meters, sixteen meters, seventeen meters...

Every meter of distance.

For a normal person, it's just a step away.

But for Ye Xiao...

Every time I want to climb another meter, I have to pay an even greater price; I'm fighting against all of this entirely with willpower.

Ye Xiao had lost all feeling in his hands.

It's not that it doesn't hurt, it's that the pain has made me numb.

His fingernails split open, and blood seeped from between his fingers, leaving red streaks on the pillar.

When Fatty Wang saw this scene, his heart clenched.

Eighteen meters, nineteen meters, twenty meters...

When Ye Xiao struggled to climb to a height of twenty meters.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"That should be enough. I've reached my limit."

"With my current strength, it seems I'm not quite there yet to reach the top."

Ye Xiao loosened his grip on his fingers.

His body fell backward.

The entire training hall was before him.

Those enormous machines, viewed from below, look like oversized toys.

Sunlight streamed in through the skylight, falling warmly on him.

He opened his arms, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes with a smile.

The wind blew over his head, drying the sweat and blood on his body.

This feeling is very comfortable.

boom!

Ye Xiao landed steadily on the safety mat that Fatty Wang had prepared in advance.

His entire body was buried under a thick layer of padding.

Wang Pangzi's eyes immediately fell on Ye Xiao's blood-soaked fingers.

The stark white bones inside were exposed.

His expression was incredibly complex.

In the entire Jiangda University, you won't find another student who would torture their body to the point of near-madness and perversion in order to become stronger.

at this time.

Ye Xiao could only lift his wrist, but he couldn't feel his fingers.

Because his finger was completely severed.

The Path of the Strong arrived as promised, flashing with beams of light!

Ye Xiao lay on the safety mat, a thought forming in his mind.

The [Path of the Strong] appeared before my eyes, and I checked the milestone achievements.

[Iron Bones! Body Refinement Achievement Completed! Reward: [Flesh and Bone Regeneration I]: Bone and flesh regeneration ability: +5%!]

[Bronze Bones! Body Refinement Achievement Completed! [Flesh and Bone Regeneration I] Upgraded to [Flesh and Bone Regeneration II]: Bone and flesh regeneration ability +10%!]

[Silver Bones! Body Refinement Achievement Completed! [Flesh and Bone Regeneration II] Upgraded to [Flesh and Bone Regeneration III]: Bone and flesh regeneration ability +15%!]

[Golden Bones! Body Refinement Achievement Completed! [Flesh and Bone Regeneration III] Upgraded to [Flesh and Bone Regeneration IV]: Bone and flesh regeneration ability +20%!]

[Jade Bones! Body Refinement Achievement Completed! [Flesh and Bone IV] upgraded to [Flesh and Bone V (Max Level)]: Bone and flesh regeneration ability +25%! Mastered Status Ability: Limb Regeneration. Effect: After activation, allows the designated short limb to regenerate!]

At this point, Ye Xiao has achieved the milestone of mastering four different body-refining techniques!

This time.

Ye Xiao's reward was a max-level [Flesh and Bone Rejuvenation V].

It dramatically increased his bone and flesh regeneration ability by 25%!

Ye Xiao's problem was that his finger was broken, and all he could do was suffer from pain.

But now.

He could already vaguely feel a tingling, warm current flowing through his severed hand.

Ye Xiao could tell from this.

His broken flesh and bones began to grow and repair themselves.

Besides.

Ye Xiao's new ability to change his state of mind caught his eye.

"Short limb regeneration? Once activated, it allows the regeneration of a specified short limb section?"

"Does that mean I can use it right now?"

then.

Ye Xiao immediately used his mastered state ability for the first time!

When the thought crossed his mind, he silently recited "limb regeneration".

Then a green scanning area appeared in front of me.

He aimed his pupils at his palm.

After determining the location for limb regeneration.

He began to confirm.

"Use limb regeneration!"

next moment.

Ye Xiao discovered a scene that felt like he had discovered a new continent!

The fingers, which had originally exposed bare white bones, were now growing flesh and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a short while, Ye Xiao's exposed finger bones were covered again by newly grown flesh.

At the same time, Ye Xiao's fingers were originally broken and out of control.

Also with the miraculous power of "limb regeneration".

This allowed him to gradually regain control of his fingers.

However, the cost is:

All the qi and blood in Ye Xiao's body flowed towards his palms, concentrating and delivering power.

This directly led to insufficient blood and qi supply to Ye Xiao's brain.

Suddenly everything went black, and he fainted.

As this was the first time Ye Xiao had used his ability, he immediately experienced significant side effects.

He never imagined that using status abilities would come at a price!

I don't know how much time has passed.

When Ye Xiao woke up again.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a white bed, the air filled with the smell of disinfectant.

And there was a familiar face next to him, it was Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang looked at the school doctor in his white coat with some anxiety.

Then repeat a few sentences over and over.

"Uncle! Does my roommate have any health problems?"

"Although your roommate's body is covered in scars, his internal organs are unbelievably healthy. In all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've seen such a healthy body. It's truly strange!"

"Really? Uncle, are you sure you're not mistaken? He was unconscious, and he was bleeding all over his body, how did he suddenly become healthy again?"

"It's unbelievable, but it's true. Your roommate's health is a million times better than yours."

The school doctor in the white coat turned around and started lecturing Fatty Wang.

"Wang Hou, it's you who should exercise more and learn from your roommate."

"You're fair-skinned and plump, and you don't seem to have any injuries, but I've noticed that you seem to have some problems with your lower back and kidneys."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang's face turned green.

He was so frightened by Ye Xiao's unconscious state that he rushed him to the school doctor for a check-up.

As a result, Ye Xiao was in excellent health and had no problems at all.

On the contrary, it was him who was found to have kidney deficiency?
