In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 5 Breakthrough! The First Step in Martial Arts!

Without time to examine it more closely, Shen Xing realized that the smell of blood had already spread out, so he chose to return immediately.

In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot.

A moment after he left, a figure hurried over and his expression changed drastically upon seeing the scene before him.

It was the shop assistant from earlier.

"How is that possible!"

The shop assistant's martial arts skills were clearly not low; he was already a minor expert at the Muscle Refining stage, but at this moment, even his legs were trembling.

"I must be right. Although that person was disguised, his height and voice clearly indicated that he was just a teenager. Moreover, his clothes didn't match his physique. He was obviously a wealthy young master who had fled from disaster. He didn't even have a servant with him. Was he a master of concealed weapons?"

He keenly noticed several marbles embedded in the wall and the ground, and after observing them briefly, he took a deep breath.

Judging from the scene and the wound, it was clear that someone had shot a human body directly with an iron ball at close range, blowing off the skull.

These are all experts in the Skin Refining Realm!

How much force would it take to do that?

Upon realizing this, the shop assistant didn't dare linger for even a moment and hurriedly left, as if iron balls might be shot at him from all directions at any moment.

In today's Qingshui City, if you offend a master, don't expect the Dan Pavilion to stand up for you!

Shen Xing was unaware that the electromagnetic gun's power had frightened the person behind it all, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. In fact, he had risked buying firearms precisely for this situation.

Now that he was back in his dormitory, Shen Xing's tense nerves finally relaxed. As soon as he relaxed, his face turned pale. The scene of his cheeks exploding and his flesh being mangled kept replaying in his mind, and waves of nausea kept coming back to him.

Compared to the so-called guilt of killing, it was the bloody scenes that made him more uncomfortable.

However, Shen Xing was not a weak-willed person to begin with, and after a few deep breaths, he gradually recovered.

He then placed the bottles of loot in front of him, completely ignoring the bloodstains from looting the corpse, his expression one of excitement.

"Medicine!"

Each bottle contains approximately eight pills, and including the spoils from earlier, there are twelve bottles in total, totaling ninety-six pills!

If the effect is indeed as powerful as I feel, it would be an invaluable resource in the Human Federation!

If converted to Federal Reserve currency, it would be worth at least tens of millions!

Or the kind that ordinary people simply have no way to buy!

"No rush, let's test the drug on mice first."

Shen Xing did not rush to swallow it, but instead took out several white mice that had been prepared in advance.

From the moment he first discovered his ability to travel through time, he made numerous preparations, including, but not limited to, testing whether he could teleport with life, feeding mice plants and animals from another world, and testing whether he would carry pathogens from another world.

Of course, given the limited resources, this is all he can do.

Fortunately, no problems occurred.

Aside from the inability to directly transport living beings through the world, all other potential problems seemed to have been solved by the mysterious shuttle-shaped treasure in my consciousness.

At this point, scraping a little powder from each type of pill and feeding it to mice is simply a way to test for toxicity.

But there's a high probability that there won't be any problems.

Sure enough, after Shen Xing finished eating and rested for several hours, the mice were still lively and energetic.

"Let's start by trying the cheapest Blood Spirit Pill."

Shen Xing put on the training suit, laid out the training mat, got into the ready position for the first movement, and then swallowed the Blood Spirit Pill!

At first, there was no feeling after the pill entered the stomach, but as the movements began, waves of heat began to spread from the abdomen, and the face became flushed, and the blood and qi churned faster and faster.

"Wow, that's incredible!"

Shen Xing was both surprised and amazed, and quickly adjusted the training power of the load suit to the maximum.

During the body refinement stage, any vital energy that enters the body cannot be preserved for long.

Therefore, both this "Basic Training Exercises for Human Martial Arts" and the load suit used with it require extreme training in the shortest possible time after using resources, in order to maximize the utilization of resource effects.

Shen Xing didn't know if the cultivation methods of martial artists in the other world were as powerful as the cultivation methods of the Human Federation that had been in place for two thousand years, but even if they were, the other world shouldn't be able to produce a device with such a powerful auxiliary effect as the load-bearing suit!

At this moment, supported by the continuous flow of blood and vital energy within his body, Shen Xing seemed tireless, cultivating again and again. Compared to the hardships of his previous cultivation, he now felt a wonderful sense of intoxication, as if every cell in his body was soaking in a warm hot spring, his body becoming lighter and lighter, and his movements becoming more and more relaxed and free.

He only reluctantly stopped moving when he could no longer feel the heat.

At this moment, dusk had fallen, and glancing at the time, he realized that he had trained for a full five hours this time.

Huh? How come it's only been five hours?

The vital energy contained in this Blood Spirit Pill is at least ten times that of a basic essence liquid! Even without fully utilizing it, using the "rich man's cultivation method," it can support his cultivation for at least a dozen hours.

However, this feeling...

Shen Xing raised his arm to confirm that the load-bearing suit was indeed at maximum output, then jumped around a few times, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Breakthrough!

Skin Training Realm!

He took off his heavy-duty suit, and wisps of steam continuously emanated from his body, giving him a feeling of lightness as a feather, as if he were on the moon. At the same time, his skin was completely different from before. Although it was still fair, it had obviously gained a strong resilience.

According to textbooks, the first step in martial arts, the most significant external manifestation of the Skin Refinement Realm, is the greatly enhanced resistance of the skin to impact, hence the name Skin Refinement.

Of course, the actual changes are far more than that.

Martial arts is the all-round evolution of life. After entering the skin-refining stage, the body's capacity to accommodate and absorb vital energy will be greatly enhanced. Strength, speed, and even nerve reactions will enter a completely new level. In many areas, it will easily surpass the human limits before the advent of martial arts!

"It's so wonderful!"

Shen Xing was ecstatically experiencing every change in his body. Although he already knew and was even prepared, the impact this moment brought him still exceeded his expectations.

In his previous life, among the wealthy, there was a saying that received considerable recognition.

In middle age, no amount of wealth can compare to youth and health!

Now, Shen Xing has a deeper understanding of this statement.

The satisfaction of making money cannot compare to the satisfaction of life's evolution and the gathering of great power within oneself!

This is only the Skin Refining Realm.

What about training the muscles, bones, and even the innate level, and beyond?

At this moment, Shen Xing's ambition and desire for martial arts swelled infinitely!
