Chapter 203: Blood Lingzhi

Xiao Chen had already accomplished something to the equivalent of the first and second layer of the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art, ‘Strong and Healthy Body, Great Increase in Qi and blood’ and ‘Birth of Divine Strength, Cutting Mountains and Splitting Stone’

So, when he cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art he did not run into any barriers. He was able to immediately cultivate it to the second layer. Then, he started to cultivate it to the third layer—Tiger Roar Shaking Forest, Dominating Hundred Beasts.

Cultivation Techniques were different from Martial Techniques. They do not require high comprehension abilities; one only needed to follow the method. Having a good quality body was what people referred to having good apt.i.tude. Those with good apt.i.tude would be able to cultivate very quickly one with poor apt.i.tude would be slower.

After seven days, Xiao Chen finally cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art to the third layer. The main reason Xiao Chen’s cultivation was so fast was that he had previously laid good foundations for his physical body. If a regular person cultivated this, no matter how good their apt.i.tude was, it would take them at least a month.

After the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art was cultivated to the third layer, Xiao Chen only needed to circulate the Cultivation Technique and his bones would give off a ‘pi li pa la’ sound. The muscles of his four limbs had a reserved appearance, but they were filled with explosive power.

When Xiao Chen punched out, aside from wind coming from his fist, there was a tiger’s roar. The roar was loud and long; it was very energetic. It was like there was really a tiger roaring and shaking the forest with it, hundreds of beasts dominated with none daring to challenge it.

When the third layer was achieved, there was an objective benefit. Xiao Chen’s strength had increased by another 500 kilograms. His full-powered strike could achieve 4,000 kilograms of force.

The fourth acupoint on his arm, the Neiguan Acupoint, also instantly opened.

After this, Xiao Chen spent one day to solidify the foundations of the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art. Only then did he start practicing the Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Fist Technique—Great Dragon Tiger Fist.

Martial Techniques were different from Cultivation Techniques; they relied on one’s comprehension abilities. One had to think about it in order to comprehend the essence of the Martial Technique and bring out its complete might.

The first move of the Great Dragon Tiger Fist was Fierce Tiger Leaving the Mountains. Xiao Chen had never see a true fierce tiger before. He was unable to understand the movements and aura of a fierce tiger. As a result, as he practiced it, he felt it was not progressing smoothly.

Xiao Chen thought for a while, and he remembered that after coming to this underground world, in the first forest he came across, he had seen the Rank 5 Spirit Beast—Raging Flame Tiger in the depths of that forest.

Xiao Chen used the Gravity Spell and started to look everywhere. When he was in the air, he heard a resounding roar.

After he rushed over, Xiao Chen was pleased to discover that it was a Raging Flame Tiger hunting for food.

A day went by, but Xiao Chen did nothing. He only stayed in the distance and observed every move of the Raging Flame Tiger.

Two days went by.

Three days went by…

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen had lingered in this forest for seven days. Like the first day, Xiao Chen did nothing. He only observed the lifestyle of the Raging Flame Tiger, every move it made.

He seem to have gone mad as if he turned into a Raging Flame Tiger. Great Dragon Tiger Fist? Fierce Tiger Leaving the Mountains? He had long since forgotten about all of these.

On this particular afternoon, Xiao Chen, who went mad for a week, suddenly roared loudly. He leaped down from the top of a tree, as though he was a huge tiger, pouncing. All the creatures were startled; groups of birds flew from the trees.

Xiao Chen punched out in midair. Before his fist could reach the ground, an intense wind from his fist blew away all the loose leaves on the ground. The air was filled with leaves being blown around. Eventually, he landed.

In the next instant…

There was a loud sound, a large pit 20 meters in diameter appeared on the ground. Countless piece of dirt flew into the air, covering the sky. Then they fell like hail.

“Hu!” Just at this moment there was a huge gust of wind. The pieces of dirt and stone in the air turned to dust when blown. It turned out that Xiao Chen’s punch had reached a point where he understood the fine details of the technique. These pieces of dirt and stone were all destroyed from the inside.

Going mad for a week and instantly comprehending it, this was the first move of the Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Fist Technique—Fierce Tiger Leaving the Mountains. In the end, Xiao Chen

Xiao Chen withdrew his fist and stood straight. He used his Essence and gently jolted off the dust that landed on him. He revealed a smile filled with joy. The might of an Inferior Grade Martial Technique was indeed extraordinary.

Now that he learned this move, he would have another trump card for when he was in close combat, aside from the Inclined Body Strike. This way, he could exhibit the advantages of his physical body.

Underground world, natural herb field:

Xiao Chen hid in a thick bush, withdrawing all his aura. He stared at a Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape 500 meters in front of him.

The Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape was a peak Rank 5 Spirit Beast. It was equivalent to a peak Martial Saint. It was a primate type Spirit Beasts. Its intelligence was much higher compared to most other Spirit Beasts.

It had a horrifying strength, was quick-witted, and intelligent. The Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape was difficult to deal with.

There was a stalk of nearly three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi. It was a herb that nourished the body greatly. A three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi would be sufficient for Xiao Chen to train with for a period of time. It would be able to strengthen him by another 250 kilograms. Xiao Chen was very tempted by it.

The second move of the Fierce Tiger Leaving the Mountains, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a type of defensive Martial Technique. Like before, he would not able to comprehend it in a short amount of time. So, Xiao Chen temporarily gave it up. He went back to his original plan of searching for herbs that could strengthen his blood and Qi.

The three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi was his first target.

The Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape was about five meters tall when it stood straight. It patrolled around the surroundings of the Blood Lingzhi cautiously. Its bloodshot eyes stared at its surroundings with murderous intent.

Under the influence of the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape’s strong aura, a few Rank 5 Spirit Beast eyeing the Blood Lingzhi fled far away.

Xiao Chen had already remained here for two days. He personally saw a peak Rank 4 Spirit Beast—Silver Winged Wolf be torn in half by the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape’s bare hands. The scene of blood splattering everywhere was extremely cruel.

Xiao Chen observed every fight the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape had been in for two days. This allow Xiao Chen to gain a good understanding of its strength.
