Chapter 3: The Power Soars

Chapter 3: Great Increase in Strength

In the courtyard.

As the Innate Luck on Jiang Yuan's panel changed.

Strong muscles and bones rose on his body, like coiled dragons.

For a moment, the bones resonated and made cracking sounds.

A tingling sensation emerged from deep within the bones, gradually spreading throughout his body.

At this moment, it seemed that Jiang Yuan's accumulation in bone training had undergone a qualitative change.

In the next moment, an angry roar involuntarily came from his throat, like the roar of a tiger or leopard.

Then, he threw a punch.

Boom!

A loud noise.

Like a bolt from the blue, a thunderclap on a dry land.

In an instant, the footsteps of the two people who hadn't gone far paused.

"Tiger and Leopard Thunder, that direction is..." Old Ma exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the young master!" Gu Mo said, his eyes showing a ripple.

At the same time, a look of horror appeared on Old Ma's face.

"How is this possible? Tiger and Leopard Thunder, clearly already at the Refining Viscera stage. How could the young master progress so quickly, breaking through to the fifth level of Body Tempering and starting Viscera Refining!"

Gu Mo said, "It is indeed amazing, but it is also a fact. We may have underestimated the young master's talent."

At this moment, Old Ma suddenly remembered the evaluation the former master had given Jiang Yuan. He had laughed heartily and said, "My son has the potential of an immortal."

Immortal, that is the title for those who have surpassed the Body Tempering stage.

They are lofty and extraordinary, with long lifespans, capable of slaying thousands of soldiers in one breath.

Then he nodded hesitantly.

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, holding a giant sword weighing hundreds of pounds, and performed the training method of the family's Wind and Thunder Sword Technique.

In an instant, a strong wind rose from the ground.

The wind followed the sword, and thunderous sounds echoed.

In his chest, there came the sound of muffled thunder.

Not far away.

Old Ma heard the movement coming from Jiang Yuan's side and couldn't help but praise, "The sound of Thunderous Sword, the young master's comprehension is truly terrifying. In terms of understanding the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, he is no longer inferior to the former master!"

Gu Mo also nodded slightly.

They had both witnessed the young master's comprehension.

In just one day, he had already grasped the basics of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, dealing a heavy blow to the former master.

After a long time, darkness fell.

Jiang Yuan sheathed his sword and stood there, exhaling the breath he had been holding in his chest.

In an instant, a strong wind appeared in front of him, sweeping up the fallen leaves on the ground and slowly drifting to the corner of the wall.

Feeling the continuous flow of power from within his body, a hint of joy appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.

"Refining the viscera to a small extent, it is indeed very promising."

After the recent events, only strength can give him a sense of security.

At this moment, he could feel that his aptitude for cultivation had undergone a tremendous change.

A strange power seemed to be nourishing his whole body, especially his internal organs.

After just a short period of tempering, he could feel significant progress.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before his internal organs were fully tempered.

For ordinary people, this is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The path of Body Tempering is filled with difficulties at every stage.

Especially at the fifth level of Body Tempering, where the tempering of the internal organs is required, it can only be strengthened through long-term practice.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt that the strength of his lungs far exceeded what it used to be.

His breath was abundant, and he could fight for a long time without fatigue.

This is the effect of strengthening the internal organs.

A warrior like this has long-lasting energy, is not afraid of prolonged battles, and can easily take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops before leaving triumphantly.

If he had been born in ancient times in his previous life, he would have left a strong mark in the history books.

But in this world, this is just the beginning.

In a county town, it can hardly be called a place of experts.

But feeling his five viscera and six bowels being continuously nourished by his physical body, Jiang Yuan was filled with joy and confidence.

With such cultivation aptitude, as long as he was given some more time, the current problem could be easily solved.

Previously, he had heard that the neighboring Dashun Mansion had a genius who, shortly after starting cultivation, broke through to the seventh level of Body Tempering, the Blood Exchange stage, in just over a month.

Then, in just over another month, he achieved the unity of spirit and energy, reaching the ninth level of Body Tempering, about to step into the extraordinary realm.

Originally, Jiang Yuan had regarded this as an ordinary rumor.

But now, it seemed that this matter might not be false.

After evolving from white-level Innate Luck to green-level, he felt a huge difference in his Body Tempering talent compared to before.

If that person possessed a higher level of Innate Luck, or if they were like Gu Mo, possessing purple-level Innate Luck, their cultivation aptitude would undoubtedly be terrifying.

In this case, such achievements were entirely possible.

Standing in the courtyard, Jiang Yuan once again opened his own panel.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Fifth level of Body Tempering (Viscera Refining)

[Innate Luck]: Outstanding comprehension (green), extraordinary physique (green)

[Luck Power]: 3 strands

The fifth level is still not enough! Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.

With his current strength, he couldn't break through the impasse.

In the entire escort agency, there were currently only two skilled individuals: Old Ma, who had reached the sixth level of Body Tempering, and Gu Mo, who had reached the seventh level of Blood Exchange.

Currently, they were enough to deter others, but if the news of Jiang Yuan's death were confirmed, they would be completely inadequate.

Thinking of Old Huang, Jiang Yuan immediately thought of the purple-level Innate Luck on his panel.

[Sword God Talent]: Exceptionally outstanding talent in swordsmanship, can be called a god among mortals, advancing rapidly in all sword techniques.

He immediately made up his mind to abandon the sword and teach him the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique at home.

With his talent in swordsmanship, it might not take long for him to become a true master.

The only regret was that he had never realized his own talent.

Clearly possessing extraordinary talent in sword cultivation, he had mistakenly taken the path of knife techniques for several years.

Although he had achieved some success, reaching the seventh level of Body Tempering and the Blood Exchange stage at such a young age was quite rare.

But compared to the other path he could have taken, it was like heaven and earth.

If he hadn't gone astray and focused on sword cultivation, he might have already become a legendary figure among the immortal cultivators.

However, if that were the case, the previous Jiang Yuan would not have had the opportunity to show him great kindness and keep him by his side.

Looking at it this way, it could only be said that fate played a trick on him.

Fortunately, he was still young, and his golden age of cultivation had not yet passed.

It was not too late to change his path and start over. If he abandoned the knife and focused on the sword, he might become a legendary figure like the genius in the neighboring Dashun Mansion.

As for the other matter, the key to breaking the impasse was currently in Jiang Yuan's mind, and that was the County Lord of Lin'an County.

Jiang Yuan had caught a glimpse of him from a distance before.

His cultivation level exceeded Jiang Yuan's expectations, already reaching the ninth level of Body Tempering, the limit of mortals, achieving the unity of spirit and energy, a great master.

And his attendant, surprisingly, was also at the same level.

No one would believe such words if they were spoken.

In the entire Lin'an County, no one had ever heard of the County Lord having cultivation.

They only knew that he had a powerful attendant by his side.

But now, everyone underestimated him.

The County Lord, who was only in his thirties, already had the ninth level of Body Tempering cultivation.

This level of strength was enough to make him the number one person in the entire Lin'an County.

Moreover, the County Lord had a reputation for being greedy for money and righteous. His reputation among the people was also good, and under his governance, Lin'an County was doing well, with no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, he could completely become the key to breaking the impasse.
