From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

Chapter 126 Body Refining Divine Power

Jiang Heng's gaze swept over the several "body" type body-refining techniques in the mall.

There aren't many; there are only three in total.

In the Wu'an Hall's contribution value shop, most of the supernatural abilities are "form," with very few being "body" or "intention."

The reason is that this kind of supernatural ability is very difficult, and very few people go in this direction.

Therefore, the number of supernatural powers developed as a result is naturally correspondingly small.

……

[Supernatural Power: Body of Withering and Flourishing Herbs]

[Type: Body]

[Introduction: Thirty-six herbal Dao patterns are engraved in the body, transforming the body into the Hundred Herbs Withering and Flourishing Body, greatly enhancing the body's flexibility, endurance, and self-healing ability.]

It can undergo a "photosynthesis-like" process on the skin's surface, rapidly repairing bodily injuries through light and respiration, greatly extending its combat endurance.

[Price: 120 contribution points]

……

[Supernatural Power: Thousand-Machine Bone Removal Technique]

[Type: Body]

[Description: Forty-eight Thousand Machine Dao Patterns are engraved at the joints of the limbs, so that the joints of the whole body will no longer be restricted by joint movement, and the flexibility will be greatly improved.]

It can unleash a variety of anti-joint combat techniques, and its explosive power can be multiplied.

[Price: 150 contribution points]

……

[Supernatural Power: Heavy Armor Body]

[Type: Body]

[Description: Thirty-six powerful Dao patterns are engraved on all muscles, greatly compressing muscle density and increasing muscle growth potential, which can multiply muscle strength.]

[Price: 120 contribution points]

……

Jiang Heng's face immediately showed a hint of excitement as he looked at the several body-refining techniques in the mall.

To be honest, he wanted all of these body-refining techniques.

The first technique, [Body of Withering and Flourishing Herbs], can greatly enhance the body's resilience and can also quickly replenish its own nutrients and repair its injuries through "photosynthesis-like" processes.

Jiang Heng's own [Disease Corrosion] can clear away diseases and poisoning, but it cannot repair external injuries caused by enemies.

This [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish Body] can make up for this very well.

Moreover, if one were to find oneself in some harsh environment in the future, having this supernatural power would at least guarantee that one would not starve to death.

As for the second method, [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Technique],

It can liberate the limitations of the angle of the bones and joints of the limbs, and unleash many times the power.

For other martial artists, this ability might just be a simple power amplifier.

But for Jiang Heng, it was far more than that.

With his current level of martial arts skill, once he can break free from the restrictions on his limbs and joints,

He was able to develop countless powerful and bizarre anti-joint martial arts techniques from them.

One's martial arts level can be raised to a whole new level out of thin air!

Who knows, I might be able to touch the boundary of "Grandmaster"... If I can really step into "Grandmaster", it is not impossible for a level 5 to fight a level 6!

The third supernatural power, [Immense Armor Body], also has a very clear effect.

Increase muscle density, raise the upper limit of one's own strength, and double physical strength.

It is also an extremely powerful body-refining technique.

"If I practice these three supernatural abilities together, will they interfere with each other...?"

Jiang Heng pondered for a while but couldn't reach a conclusion, so he simply sent a message to Zhao De'an to ask.

Just half a minute later, Zhao De'an's reply appeared on the phone screen.

[Battalion Commander Zhao: Generally speaking, they won't interfere with each other.]

[Battalion Commander Zhao: The essence of divine runes is ultimately bio-energy born from the human body. A martial artist's physical body is sufficient to accommodate the existence of multiple runes.]

[Battalion Commander Zhao: However, are you sure you want to cultivate multiple body-refining supernatural abilities? These abilities are very difficult, and I'm afraid you may not be able to achieve results in a short time.]

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, then replied.

[Jiang Heng: Okay, thank you, Battalion Commander. I'll think about it some more.]

He then exited the chat interface and returned to the contribution points shop, looking at the three body-refining divine abilities.

As long as they don't interfere with each other...

The only remaining issue is the contribution points.

Jiang Heng's current contribution points are only 130, while the [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Technique] requires 150 points, so he is excluded first.

As for whether to choose [The Body of Withering and Flourishing Herbs] first, or [The Body of Heavy Armor] first...

Jiang Heng pondered for a moment, then made a decision.

His primary goal now is to choose a body-refining technique that will greatly enhance his combat power.

By combining martial arts skills with supernatural abilities, one can maximize their close-combat advantages to better prepare for future battlefields.

The [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish Body] focuses more on self-healing and enhancing endurance and resilience.

However, in terms of improving actual combat strength, it is not as good as [Heavy Armor Body]...

Therefore, we still need to choose [Heavy Armor Body] first.

As for the [Hundred Herbs Wither and Flourish Body] and [Thousand Machines Bone Removal Technique], we'll have to wait until we have enough contribution points to purchase them later...

Jiang Heng made up his mind and then clicked to purchase [Ten Thousand Jun Heavy Armor].

One hundred and twenty contribution points were instantly deducted from the account, leaving only ten contribution points.

"Tsk, money is really not enough. If only we could get some Thousand Poison Alliance warriors, or assassins from Apocalypse Life."

"Killing them will yield both the deadly poison and contribution points—a win-win situation..."

Jiang Heng shook his head with a sigh.

He then put away his phone, turned and left the bedroom, heading to the martial arts room to practice "Burning Heaven".

……

Half a day later.

The "Ten Thousand Jun Heavy Armor Body" that Jiang Heng purchased has already been delivered to the Third Garrison Battalion.

He sat down in the chair, opened a small safe, and took out a black metal box.

The black box lid slowly opened, revealing a supernatural seed the size of a soybean inside.

Unlike martial arts, supernatural powers possess unique characteristics due to the special nature of their Dao patterns.

Inside the Wu'an Hall, the "Blank Dao Seed" is usually used as the carrier, and the inscription is engraved inside the "Blank Dao Seed".

Jiang Heng didn't think much of it and directly took out the Seed of Divine Power and put it in his mouth.

The seed of supernatural power dissolved in his mouth, merged into his body, transformed into a cool sensation, surged up to the top of his head, and flowed into his mind.

Jiang Heng closed his eyes, and in addition to the black incantation of [Calamity Fire - Blood Curse Body], a new Dao pattern was imprinted in his mind.

Its color is dark yellow, and its shape resembles a mountain, seemingly weighing ten thousand jin (a unit of weight).

He opened his eyes, and a thought struck him as a new character appeared on the semi-transparent panel that was now in his line of sight.

[Supernatural Ability: ...Heavy Armor Body (Proficiency 0.1%)]

"Next, as long as the thirty-six Dao patterns are engraved on all the muscles of the body, the cultivation of this supernatural power will be considered complete."

The latest novel is first published here!

Jiang Heng murmured softly.

For a normal level 5 martial artist to complete this process...

It is necessary to inscribe the Dao patterns on the thirty-six muscles of the body again and again until the Dao patterns are completely engraved into the muscles.

This will take at least several years.

As for Jiang Heng...

He had already considered his countermeasures long before he began cultivating supernatural powers.

The inscription of Dao patterns must ultimately follow a certain route.

So, following the method used when practicing martial arts before, reversing the inscription route should surely yield good results...

With this in mind, Jiang Heng immediately began to mobilize his Qi and, following the reverse route of the Dao patterns inscribed in his mind, inscribed Dao patterns into his own flesh and blood.

Sure enough, as soon as they tried it, a strange discomfort came from the flesh and blood where the inscription was made.

Jiang Heng remained unmoved and continued to inscribe.

Then, the muscles began to spasm violently, disintegrate, and crumble away amidst waves of intense pain...

Two hours later, Jiang Heng had inscribed all thirty-six Dao patterns, and his body's gnarled, root-like muscles began to disintegrate.

"That's about it..."

Jiang Heng murmured to himself, then a thought struck him: "Disease erosion, transformation."

The power of the disease quickly cleansed the damage within the body, and the immense feedback power then converged on [Calamity Fire - Blood Curse Body].

The Dao patterns on all thirty-six parts of his body quickly became clear.

On the panel, under the [Divine Powers] category, the proficiency of [Heavy Armor Body] is also increasing rapidly.

After a few breaths, Jiang Heng slowly opened his eyes.

He could clearly feel that a hazy Dao pattern had appeared on each of the thirty-six muscles all over his body.

Increased muscle density leads to a significant boost in physical strength.

A powerful, mountain-like aura emanated from his seated body and filled the entire room.

The data on the panel has also changed significantly.

[Supernatural Power: Heavy Armor Body (Proficiency 10.5%)]

"Each training session increased my proficiency by 10%, and it will probably take about ten days to master this supernatural ability..."

Jiang Heng looked thoughtful, muttering to himself.

"Then perhaps I can perfect this supernatural power before the war breaks out..."

……

Over the next ten days or so.

Besides leading the sixteenth group to complete routine tasks, Jiang Heng devoted himself to cultivating the [Ten Thousand Jun Heavy Armor Body] and the martial art "Burning Heaven" every day.

Meanwhile, along the border between Thailand and Myanmar, the Thousand Gu Alliance is becoming increasingly restless.

A large number of troops and martial artists have been stationed at the border of the three cities of Nanjiang, Shannan, and Linshan.

Du Liyan, the battalion commander of the 3rd Special Operations Battalion, immediately gave the order.

Three days later, the entire Third Special Operations Battalion of the Chixiao Division will be stationed at the border of Tianfu to prepare for battle against the Thousand Gu Alliance.

And on the fifteenth day, the day before the Third Special Operations Battalion was to head to the border of Sichuan.

Jiang Heng finally perfected the [Ten Thousand Jun Heavy Armor Body] technique, with thirty-six Ten Thousand Jun Dao patterns deeply engraved on various parts of his body...
