Chapter 189: Mysterious Fire Training Bone (2/2)

”This is not good!”

Junior Leopard said to himself.

The principle behind taking the pills to repair the damage on his skeleton was simple. Since the effectiveness of the Bone-Forging Pill was much too strong, he only needed to ingest them into his stomach and use his Internal Qi to trigger the pills to release their healing power. The healing power that was triggered would naturally start to strengthen his skeleton. If this was combined with bone forging punching skills, the effect would be even better. In reality, this was the method he used all the time. After taking Bone-Forging Pills and triggering their healing power, he would practise the Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist and Tai Chi Fist at the same time to increase the speed of healing.

However, this was the first time that he used Bone-Forging Pills to repair injuries. The reason he thought of using Bone-Forging Pills to repair injuries, was that it was clearly written on the prescription of the elixir that Bone-Forging Pills could be used for not only bone forging but also skeleton injuries.

But to repair injuries was different from training his punches. Now, if he were to practice the Bone Forging punching skill without regard for his injuries, it would increase the burden on his skeleton. Who knew if it would worsen the damage.

Therefore, he only used his Internal Qi to trigger Bone-Forging Pills' healing power, allowing it to work on his skeleton.

This way, as expected, it was effective, but according to his Inner Vision, the effect was not perfect. In other words, allowing the healing power to work itself did not give full play to their healing power. Not only was there an excessive amount of wastage, the effectiveness of the repair was suboptimal. Hence, Junior Leopard tried using the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique Internal Qi to trigger the healing power.

He used the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi to transfer Bone-Forging Pills' healing power to the site of injuries, then used the strong heat of Internal Qi to unleash the full extent of the healing power, working alongside his Internal Qi within his skeleton. Then, a wonderful reaction happened.

It was something he had never thought of, nor did he think it would ever happen.

His Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi, in the process of repairing his skeleton, was beginning to refine his skeleton!

After the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi and the healing power of the Bone-Forging Pills fully united, they started to refine his skeleton. It wasn't ordinary refining; foreign matters were purged from within his skeleton.

The golden red Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi covered his skeleton. First it vaporized the healing power, which penetrated into the skeleton and repaired the damage. Then, under the effect of Internal Qi, layers of a pale white mist emerged from within his skeleton.

This mist, was basically the impurities within Junior Leopard's skeleton. When he was practicing the Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist, these impurities flowed out from his skeleton as well, but that was not as obvious as now, neither was it directly vaporized like now.

While this was happening, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi was further solidifying Junior Leopard's skeleton. Now, Junior Leopard's skeleton was just like iron in a furnace, after being exposed to the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi, it became stronger and stronger.

Gradually, a fantastic scene appeared. Within Junior Leopard's Inner Vision, he watched as the cracks covering most of his skeleton began to disappear. After the surface of the cracks was healed, the internal cracks were disappearing as well. At the same time, after being exposed to Internal Qi, his skeleton was shrinking in a very subtle way along the cracks. He did not know how long it had been when the shrinking of the entire skeleton stopped. He could feel that his skeleton was a little smaller than before, but was many times tougher than before. His skeleton actually started to glimmer with a golden light, and even acquired the texture of metal.

”How lucky I am!” Junior Leopard took in a deep breath, and his eyes flew open. Within his eyes, an unnatural red light glimmered and black lines loomed. He recalled what had just happened, and he knew that he was a lucky bastard.

”What a coincidence!”

If not for the battle with Dragon Granny, his skeleton would not have sustained that kind of injuries. It was just because of these injuries, which created cracks covering the surface of his skeleton, that it was so simple to purge the foreign matters.

In fact, for his current physical strength, his skeleton's hardness was already comparable to steel. The higher the level of cultivation, the tougher the body became, and the more difficult it was to continue improving. Junior Leopard's skeleton went through so much, that the opening for the impurities was created unintentionally. As for those cracks, they contributed to laying the foundation for furthur strengthening of his skeleton, not only making his skeleton more easy to cultivate, but they also allowed the special effects of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique's Mysterious Fire and the healing effect of Bone-Forging Pills to penetrate the skeleton fully. That way, his skeleton was successfully strengthened.

Also, after this success, the nature of his skeleton changed subtly, and the compatibility with his Internal Qi, especially the Mysterious Fire, became even higher. The next time he practised, the effectiveness of using the power of Mysterious Fire within his Internal Qi to refine his skeleton would be greatly increased. For Junior Leopard, this was a truly unexpected occurrence.

Once again closing his eyes, feeling the skeleton glimmering with golden light within his body, Junior Leopard slowly clenched his fist and swung it fiercely.

”Woo!” A sound was heard, and then a sonic boom happened.

”Wow, even without using the Extraordinary Strength Fist's mental cultivation methods, my fist strength is three times more powerful than before, and this is only a random punch. But now, my body seems unfamiliar with this level of toughness. It looks like I still need some time to adapt!”
