Taoist master wants to ascend

Wow~

In the large vat, the iron sand stirred like a whirlpool, and Li Yuan was immersed in it, constantly pushing his body forward, using violent friction to fight against the unbearable numbness.

Gradually, the numbness receded.

But before he could take a breath, Li Yuan groaned to himself again.

The change started from the soles of his feet. He felt as if he had stepped on red-hot molten iron. The heat spread to his calves, giving him the terrifying illusion that his legs and feet were melting.

"So fierce?!"

Li Yuan's tightly closed eyelids were twitching, and the intense heat spread violently throughout his body after spinning his legs and feet for dozens of times.

"ah!"

Li Yuan couldn't hold it back and almost broke his teeth. After it was boiling, there was a wave of intense numbness that he had never experienced before.

From toes to head, head to toe.

This terrifying numbness reminded Li Yuan of a kind of torture he had heard of in his previous life, in which his own scalp was cut open and mercury was poured into it.

Even though he had gone through many bone changes, he still couldn't hold back and almost lost his strength.

"Hold it!"

Li Yuan gritted his teeth.

His movements were getting faster and faster, and the iron sand in the special vat was rubbing like crazy until it turned red and hot. However, the numbness was not relieved, but became more and more intense!

Stab it, sting it~

The iron sand rubbed against his skin, making an oozing sound. Li Yuan felt like a big fish whose scales were cut off by being pinned to an iron plate.

The numbness and itch turned into severe pain that made his eyes darken, and he almost fainted.

"Just a little bit closer!"

Li Yuan almost bit off his tongue. The severe pain made him wake up briefly. He knew that he had reached the final step of the transformation of 'Fish Skin'.

boom!

I don't know how long it took, but the vat suddenly burst. Li Yuan was nailed to the ground, and his skin was so red that it turned purple.

Under the skin, the veins grow from small to large.

Feet, calves, thighs, waist and abdomen, back, neck, arms...

The drastic change seemed to have happened the moment he stamped his foot. His whole body expanded as if he was blowing air, and his height of 1.8 meters soared to more than 2.2 meters!

The blackened tendons were still trembling, and the teeth-searing sound of bone friction could be heard through the body...

"Ape's arms and wasp's waist, lion's neck, harrier's steps, tiger's back and bear's waist, snake's body and python's tendons..."

The numbness and pain instantly subsided, replaced by the sudden drop of the heavy shackles that seemed to have been carried for a lifetime. The intense pleasure made Li Yuan feel as if he had been electrocuted, and his scalp was numb!

Roar!

Howl!

Phew!

At this moment, Li Yuan seemed to hear the roar of apes, the roar of tigers, and the roar of all beasts.

At the moment when the nine shapes were assembled, the previous bone changes seemed to be connected in series, erupting with a power that shocked him.

In comparison, he looked like a seriously ill and dying man before, wearing heavy shackles and a living dead!

boom!

Li Yuan exerted force under his feet, and when the earth and rocks exploded, they bounced on the ground. With just one jump, it was as high as a three-story restaurant facing the street!

Jump more than ten meters on flat ground!

Kakakka~

Li Yuan stretched out his arms, and his muscles and bones were stirring like bow strings. When he landed on the ground, all the bluestones paved in the small courtyard were trampled through by his feet.

Without any inner strength, I stepped through the bluestone!

"It's done!"

Smoke and dust billowed, and Li Yuan's figure shrank back to its original state. He shook his hands and feet slightly, and the muscles all over his body surged like waves. He did not feel any consumption of energy when conveying his strength.

He took out the dagger and swung it with normal force. It felt like cutting rubber, and its elasticity and toughness increased countless times!

"No, there's still pressure to unload!"

Li Yuan made a powerful stroke, and the moment the force reached his body, more than half of it was removed, as if he was wearing thick fish scale armor.

"The seven-star horizontal body training is finally completed! But the bigger change comes from gathering the nine shapes..."

Flexing and stretching his five fingers, Li Yuan almost wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

The transformation of the nine shapes together was far from comparable to the six shapes. It was not until this moment that he knew why the nine shapes were called dragon shapes.

This change was like a snake transforming into a dragon, so clear and intense that his whole body felt numb.

The strength of the bear and tiger, the speed of the hummingbird, the flexibility of the snake...

Perfect!

Apart from this word, he had no other words to describe himself today.

"Comparing those born with nine shapes to the middle and lower root bones, no, there is no need to compare them at all, they don't look like the same species at all!"

Li Yuan was deeply shocked and felt how different the world was.

His muscles, bones, skin, and membranes are all unchanged, and all his strength is flowing smoothly, and his instinct is better than Liuhe Penetration.

Once those geniuses who are born with dragon shapes practice martial arts, their inner strength is almost within reach, and the gap between them and the warriors with middle and lower bones...

"It's bigger than the gap between humans and dogs!"

Li Yuan had a strong urge to find a master to show off.

But he still restrained himself and just punched his fist a few times in the air because he suddenly thought of Han Chuijun.

If Lao Han already had nine forms when he started, in the past sixty or seventy years, if he didn't have one hundred forms, it would probably be about the same, right?

"Old Han, I'm afraid it's more terrifying than imagined..."

Li Yuan was startled, his anxiety subsided, he washed himself hastily, and then lay back in the room.

Just let go and watch the little mouse, and you will fall asleep with joy and satisfaction.

When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the third day.

"Brother Li, it's time to go!"

Today is the day when the gate of Shenbing Valley opens wide.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and felt that his energy was so strong that it was exploding. All the soreness, numbness and sleepiness seemed as if they had never existed.

After stretching a little, there was a "crackling" sound of muscles and bones exploding all over his body.

After the Nine Forms were changed, Qixing Hengqiu became a small success, various martial arts seemed to take a small step forward out of thin air, and several kinds of internal energy increased greatly.

Only the tempered body did not advance but retreated, as if it had just reached a breakthrough.

But he knew very well that his body tempering progress had not declined, but...

"Together, the nine forms are the dragon form. My limit has been raised a lot... Now, my own strength, speed, and flexibility have all surpassed that of an inner warrior like Cao Yan."

In addition to the four heavy soldiers, not to mention the shape change, can they have a chance to meet the elite disciples of the large sects like Sha Pingying and Fang Yunxiu?

"Brother Li, you, what are you doing?"

Outside the road, Liu Zheng was carrying a dozen steamed buns and various cooked meats. He was shocked when he saw Li Yuan coming out.

Wang Peiyao, Wu Ming, Yue Yunjin and others were also surprised.

Compared to a month ago, Li Yuan's body shape and facial features seem to have remained unchanged today, but to their feelings, he seems to have changed as a different person!

"It's just a small breakthrough in martial arts. Is it that obvious?"

Li Yuan was in a good mood and did not hide his changes too much. After all, bone touching was the first step in getting started, and he had no intention of hiding it.

In the past month or so, he has carefully studied the Divine Weapon Valley, a force that has been inherited for more than a thousand years. The hierarchy is much stricter than that of the Weapon Forging Shop.

It takes several years for a handyman disciple to enter the outer sect, and it is the same for the outer sect to enter the inner sect. However, it often takes several years for the inner sect disciples to survive to the true level.

He couldn't make a big splash at once, and he might not be able to master the core part of the Dou Dao Killing Hammer in ten years, let alone go in and out of the forbidden area to find the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.

What he wants here is to be a blockbuster!

"B-breakthrough? Li, brother Li, you, have you developed your inner strength?!"

Liu Zheng was stunned, and the others were also shocked.

Especially Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming looked confused. Before the New Year's Eve last year, his energy and blood were not even close to Xiao Cheng!

It’s only been a year, but you’ve already developed your inner strength? !

"Don't be in a daze, let's go."

Li Yuan took the bun from Liu Zheng's hand, smiled and got on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time. Wang Peiyao followed without hesitation.

"drive!"

…

On the seventh day of March, the sky was sunny.

From outside the city of Zhelong Mansion to the mountain gate of Shenbing Valley, a long queue has been lined up along the official road for more than 20 miles. Thousands of people have gathered here, and the noise can be heard several miles away.

The carriage was still seven or eight miles away from the mountain gate and could no longer go forward.

Li Yuan and others got off the carriage and saw a dark place full of people, with no end in sight.

"This, so many people?"

Yue Yunjin stuttered a little.

"Impossible! As far as I know, the Shenbing Valley's assessment quota for the city this time is 1,300 people. The total number of people in each county is 700. There are only 2,000 people in total. How can there be so many people?"

Wang Peiyao immediately shook her head: "Are there more people watching the fun?"

Without the carriage, the few people walked quickly. Through the crowded and noisy crowd, Li Yuan saw the mountain gate of the Divine Soldier Valley.

The towering mountains stand tall and the vegetation is lush and green. Looking from a distance, you can see wisps of green smoke rising from the mountainside.

It's a pity that I couldn't see the black light pillar.

…

By the Grand Canal, at the foot of Shenbing Mountain, in a huge open space pressed by yellow mud for several miles in radius, hundreds of Shenbing Valley disciples stood with their hands hanging, and a powerful aura spread, stopping the noise nearby.

Rough wooden frames were built one after another. At the foot of the mountain, there was a wooden platform seven or eight meters high, with many people standing or sitting on it.

"There are so many masters!"

Wang Peiyao held a pamphlet and kept looking around, muttering:

"Shao Fang Bai, Gan Wu, Tong Jincheng... are all here, too. I heard that Gongyang Valley Master doesn't like people being late. If you don't get called, you will be immediately disqualified."

Li Yuan glanced at her. The more nervous she became, the more she talked.

However, Yue Yunjin, Liu Zheng and others looked heavy, breathed rapidly, and were so nervous that their palms became sweaty.

The gate of Shenbing Valley has been opened for the first time in decades. If you fail to enter, you will not have the chance in the future.

"Are those the Divine Guards?"

Li Yuan saw at a glance the big man holding a knife and wearing black full-body armor in front of the disciples of Shenbing Valley.

The Universiade prohibits crossbow armor, but large sects such as Shenbing Valley are not prohibited. The first sect in a palace has 300 places to wear armor. Those who can wear armor are all the best among the elite.

Li Yuan was very curious about the control effect of heavy armor, but the distance was too far and it was difficult to get close, so he could only hold on for the time being.

He looked around.

As Wang Peiyao said, Shao Fangbai and other recently famous geniuses all arrived early, but they arrived a little late.

"quiet!"

The armored man stepped forward and his pronunciation was like thunder, echoing for miles.

"Lion's roar skill?"

"The inner body is strong and the energy and blood are strong!"

As soon as the big man opened his mouth, there was some commotion in the open space, and then you could hear a needle drop. Wang Peiyao was so speechless that she shut her mouth.

Shao Fang Bai's expression changed a little. This big man's voice was too powerful.

"This is so powerful."

Li Yuan pinched his throat and gathered all his strength. His strength control became more and more subtle, but he didn't think he could do it with this throat.

This is not only an explosion of inner strength, but also a martial art.

"When I was fighting with someone, I suddenly heard such a voice..."

Li Yuan murmured in his heart but did not make a sound. He gathered his thoughts and waited for the assessment to begin.

…

On the high platform, Han Chuijun sat upright, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the old man beside him with a face as black as iron and white beard and hair:

"The last time our valley was so lively must be traced back to more than sixty years ago, right?"

"Seventy-two years!"

To the left of the white-haired old man, an old man with a long face dressed in brocade corrected lightly:

"Did Elder Han even forget the time when he started?"

"Time is not forgiving. In the blink of an eye, seventy-two years have passed."

Glancing at the long-faced old man, Han Chuijun looked sighing:

"As the saying goes, people become rarer after a hundred years. How old is Master Qiu?"

The old man's name is Qiu Zhengxiong, he is the leader of the inner sect's spear, he is proficient in the 'Lichen Jiuyin Spear', he started before him, and he is also the oldest person in the Shenbing Valley today.

"Old Han!"

Elder Kuyue, dressed as a monk and nun, frowned slightly, while the bruised old men behind Qiu Zhengxiong glared at him:

"Valley Master, Han Chuijun..."

boom!

Gong Yangyu raised his hand and pressed Han Chuijun's palm:

"Junior Brother Han, do you still want to be so arrogant in front of your brother?"

"presumptuous?"

Han Chuijun raised his eyelids slightly:

"Senior brother's inner energy is getting stronger and stronger."

"If you weren't obsessed with the Hundred Forms, you might have already gained access to the Hundred Veins."

Gong Yangyu put down his hand.

"The Valley Master is too rigid in his realm. For warriors like us, great strength and fast speed are enough. The meridians will be opened sooner or later, so what's the hindrance?"

Han Chuijun didn't take it seriously, but expressed his expectation:

"Come to think of it, we senior brothers haven't fought against each other for many years. Things are going on here, why not give it a try?"

"Han Chuijun!"

Qiu Zhengxiong's face darkened:

"The Valley Master has just come out of seclusion, and his realm is not yet solid. What are you going to do?"

"Uncle Qiu, I'm so lucky that you personally recruited me seventy-two years ago..."

Han Chuijun's eyes were slightly cold.

"If I had known this earlier, you would have starved to death in the wilderness, and I would never have recruited you!"

"enough!"

Gong Yangyu frowned and glanced at the people on the stage lightly:

"In recent years, Hidden Dragon has been quite turbulent. At this time, if anyone dares to be arrogant again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wherever he looked, everyone except Han Chuijun lowered their heads. After Han Chuijun frowned slightly, he also lowered his head slightly.

"Who else is really unruly inside and outside the sect, apart from Han Chuijun? He served as a search mission and killed thousands of people. He is too ferocious and does not follow the right path!"

Qiu Zhengxiong's face was as dark as water as he counted Han Chuijun's crimes:

"This time when I returned to the mountain, I wounded more than a dozen fellow apprentices one after another! He is so unruly. If he doesn't discipline him, he might even dare to destroy the gate of my Divine Weapon Valley?!"

Han Chuijun had no expression on his face and pretended not to hear.

"You recruited him, why don't you handle it?"

Gong Yangyu's face darkened slightly.

"Master Qiu, do you want to give me personal guidance?"

Han Chuijun's eyes brightened slightly.

"snort!"

Qiu Zhengxiong's face turned red and he groaned without saying anything. The old men behind him also shut up and looked away.

"It's getting late, let's start the assessment!"

Gong Yangyu looked at the sky and spoke slowly:

"Junior Brother Han, I heard that you have found two disciples with good talents, let's start with them!"

Eight thousand words, please vote for me!
