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

Chapter 83 requires a new map!

With a wave of his hand, he crushed two glass tubes containing nanoscale human body control devices. With another wave, silvery-white powdery nanoscale micromachines were sprinkled directly onto the skin of the two people.

"What is this!" The two of them couldn't see anything at all, but they instinctively felt something was wrong. These miniature machines had dispersed and blended into the air, making them invisible to the naked eye.

But Shen Xing simply waved his hand and ordered them to be taken away.

Most technological products are simple and easy to use, and this product is no exception.

There's no need to say anything more; just implant it and start the program.

"Discipline" will naturally begin.

Students from the Human Federation were already aware of this kind of thing and could find some ways to resist it online. Changing one's personality was not so easy. But here, as the voices continued to appear in their minds, gradually deepening and even penetrating their dreams and memories, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand it for more than a few days.

Simply by controlling and reading dreams, one can obtain the intelligence information that Shen Xing needs.

"Young Master." Pang Zhan, who was standing to the side, walked up cautiously. "The manager of the Pill Pavilion recently obtained five high-grade Bone Tempering Pills from the headquarters. I heard that they were made from the bone marrow of a Primordial Demon and supplemented with century-old spiritual materials."

"Hmm?" Shen Xing's eyes brightened slightly.

The marrow of a primordial demon! Plus a hundred-year-old spiritual material!

There's such a bone-tempering pill?

Just by listening to the materials, I'm afraid the quality is no less than those great pills treasured by the major families!

"What are his requirements?" Shen Xing asked.

"It's just a normal business transaction; payment is all that's needed." Pang Zhan quoted the Dan Pavilion manager's exact words. "This level of pill has an extremely limited production volume, so it's only sold to qualified customers, and you, young master, are qualified."

Shen Xing seemed to be deep in thought.

This Dan Pavilion is no simple matter.

The main building is located in a mysterious place, and it has always only opened stores in small places like Qingshui City, without competing in big cities. This awareness of selectively choosing customers and cultivating long-term customers makes it stand out from the crowd.

However, this is actually a good thing.

Shen Xing has no shortage of gold and silver. With his current wealth, he could even afford to buy a small mountain of gold and silver.

Moreover, the previous battle yielded a considerable amount of loot from the major powers and the Red Tiger Gang, enough to squander for a while.

"I bought it, please deliver it as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away!" Pang Zhan replied immediately.

He knew that Shen Xing valued these things, and in a short while, the five Grade One Bone Tempering Pills were delivered to Shen Xing.

Simply holding one in your hand, you can feel its rich vital energy.

Indeed, the quality is extremely high! Far surpassing the Bone Tempering Pills used before.

Shen Xing could already guess that this kind of pill was not prepared for someone like him who was in the Bone Refining stage.

Because apart from geniuses like him who have powerful equipment to assist them, most Bone Refining stage cultivators are unable to digest it and will only waste most of it. Not to mention the Bone Refining stage cultivators in this world. Although using this kind of pill would certainly bring more benefits, it is a "wasteful" form of cultivation.

In this world, most people in the Marrow Refining and Visceral Refining stages do not temper their entire skeletal system, but only a portion of it, which will hinder their breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

To increase the probability of breaking through to the innate level, one must temper all the bones in the body as much as possible. This bone tempering pill is obviously prepared for this group of people.

If that's really the case.

This kind of elixir is quite valuable.

Shen Xing swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, a medicinal effect far more potent than that of the Jade Ginseng Pill erupted within his body, continuously penetrating deeper into his bones. Combined with the bone-strengthening aids Shen Xing was wearing, the tingling sensation in his bones far surpassed anything he had experienced before.

With Shen Xing's spiritual strength, he was able to roughly calculate the efficiency of the tempering.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Compared to taking large amounts of ordinary Bone Tempering Pills, the efficiency is more than three times higher!

This means that if he can continue to take this pill, he can shorten the remaining thirty-seven or thirty-eight days of bone-refining period to about twelve or thirty-three days!

What a terrifying speed!

"It seems I underestimated the resources of this world." Shen Xing was delighted, but also somewhat thoughtful. "I thought the resources for the Body Refining stage were limited to what I had seen before, but I didn't expect there to be even better ones. Even in the Human Federation, the Bone Refining stage only uses the Bone Refining Pills issued by the academy. I've never heard of anything better. Could it be due to the Dao of Alchemy?"

There is no such profession as "alchemist" in the Federation of Humanities.

Shen Xing had never heard of the concept of "Daoist philosophy" before.

After all, when martial arts were first developed, human civilization had already entered the industrial age, and handcrafting had declined. Even if someone could comprehend something similar to the essence of alchemy, it was unlikely that they could promote and sell the finished product on a large scale. At most, it would be provided to a very small number of people—the high labor costs would be enough to erase any quality advantage.

But in this world

Shen Xing's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and even her heart felt a surge of passion.

"I must open up new maps as soon as possible!" he told himself. "I can't stay cooped up in this small place forever. There are probably many more surprises waiting for me in this world."

Staying in Clearwater City is indeed safe, and you can enjoy the status of a hegemon, but if you want to pursue martial arts, you can't stay in the "newbie village" forever!

However, Shen Xing would no longer risk his life by disguising himself as a beggar to gather intelligence, just like he did at the beginning.

We can send someone over there now.

Once I have the results from Pang Yue's side and gather more intelligence, I will go over there myself!

With armor and a variety of weapons, Shen Xing had enough confidence even when he arrived at the new map.

As for now.

Continue your practice!

While tempering his bones, Shen Xing practiced various martial arts concepts.

He knew very well that the so-called "mastery" of Lightning Flash and "mastery" of Phantom Movement that he had displayed in the last battle were all achieved by using space. In reality, they were only at the minor level.

You can fool others, but you can't fool yourself.

Moreover, space is a trump card; if you treat it as your regular strength, then you lose the meaning of a trump card.

We must master the essence of these three martial arts as soon as possible!

Only in that way can I truly stand shoulder to shoulder with those top geniuses!

Fortunately, the long-lasting effects of this Grade One Bone Tempering Pill surprised Shen Xing. One pill was enough for him to use for a whole day, which meant that he would have enough pills for at least the next five days.

The four days passed in the blink of an eye during the arduous practice.

The dragon-elephant aura emanating from Shen Xing became increasingly solid. With the rapid progress he made in the past four days, he had already completed more than half of his bone tempering. If there were different levels in the bone refining stage, he would at least be equivalent to the late stage of bone refining.

Although he hasn't made a major breakthrough compared to four days ago, he's definitely more than 10% or 20% stronger now.

"It's Monday, time to go to school." Shen Xing had a feeling that he wouldn't be in the bone-training class for long.

In all likelihood, he will become the first student in District 32 to enter the so-called "gifted class"!

The new accommodation was very close to the school, and it was only a short distance to my classroom.

The Bone Training Class looked much the same as before, except that there were more targets for training martial arts intent. In addition, Shen Xing was not the first to arrive; An Yiyi had already arrived. Besides three or four unfamiliar freshmen, there were two people who looked exactly alike but had very different temperaments.

"White sandstone, and a white sand sea?"

Shen Xing immediately recognized Bai Shayan, whose face was gloomy, and then looked at the other person.

They look the same, but this one seems to have a much more sunny disposition.

"You're Shen Xing?" Bai Shahai also noticed Shen Xing's gaze, then walked straight over with a smile. "Thank you for guiding my brother. But, I've heard that you're the top freshman in our 32nd school district?"

There were only a few people in the class, and the other few who had broken through to the Bone Refinement stage all recognized these two. Suddenly, all eyes turned to them.

"As expected, a battle is about to begin."

"I have more faith in Bai Sha Hai; he's just too strong."

"Me too."

"Not necessarily. Shen Xing is too mysterious, and his rate of progress is terrifying enough."

"We'll know after a fight."

"."

Shen Xing also understood Bai Sha Hai's meaning, and remained silent for a while, but he had expected it.

Just as he was about to say something, An Yiyi spoke up, "I advise you to give up, Baishahai."

"Hmm?" Bai Shahai looked at her.

"Shen Xing and I just completed a mission last Thursday, the one to clear out the spider webs. He used a lightning strike at the Great Perfection stage. Can you withstand it?" An Yiyi said bluntly.

"Spiderweb?" Bai Shahai's expression suddenly changed, staring at Shen Xing in disbelief. "You're that Black Lotus Reaper?"

Suddenly, apart from the other students who were still somewhat bewildered, Bai Shayan was even more shocked.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" he roared as he rushed over. "How could he possibly be that Black Lotus Reaper? He only mastered the Leg Axe technique half a month ago, and now you're telling me he's mastered the Lightning Flash technique?"

That's the pinnacle of martial arts mastery!

Lightning Flash is known as one of the most difficult sword techniques to master!

It's incredible enough that this happened to a freshman, how could it possibly be this person!

"Although there's no video recording, we didn't choose to remain anonymous either," An Yiyi said calmly. "Now, are you still going to try it out with Shen Xing first? I'm afraid that after you try, you'll lose the will to fight for second place with me."

Clearly, An Yiyi is preparing to challenge the White Sand Sea today.

"..." Bai Shahai's face flushed red, and he seemed to be struggling internally, but after a long while, he finally relaxed his clenched fists and said dejectedly, "No need to try anymore. I can't block a lightning flash at the Great Completion stage right now."

The news had already spread within the disciplinary department in the past few days.

One freshman demonstrated the power of a fully-fledged Thunder Flash in actual combat, severing the legs and armor of a Marrow Refining stage cultivator with a single strike, and even defeating a Dirty Refining stage cultivator!

At that time, he still felt that this was his goal to catch up with.

But I never expected that I would be the one who was overtaken and surpassed.
