Chapter 25: Improvement in Strength

"However, this quenching speed seems a bit slow!"

  After tempering for a quarter of an hour, one tenth of his domineering aura was consumed, but Li Yuan was not satisfied with the tempering effect.

  Although he didn't know how efficient other people were in using their domineering aura to temper their bodies, at his current speed, it would take at least three years to complete the fourth level of [Sword God Body Tempering Technique].

  Of course, after the quantity and quality of his domineering aura are improved, the speed of tempering will definitely increase.

  At the same time, now even if the fourth level of [Sword God Body Tempering Technique] has been completed.

  After the quality of your domineering aura reaches a higher level, you can return and use the higher quality domineering aura to re-temper your skin, making your skin more defensive.

  It can be said that the Sword God Body Tempering Technique is a domineering body tempering method that will never go out of date.

  "Since the domineering aura cannot be increased for the time being, then use external force to speed up the tempering effect of the domineering aura."

  Afterwards, Li Yuan once again asked his fellow apprentices to take out weapons such as maces, swords, and hammers to help him train.

  "Big Brother, I'm sorry!"

  The fellow disciples did not refuse Li Yuan's request.

  What's more, this kind of opportunity allows them to use their special skills unscrupulously. It can be said that Li Yuan is also an alternative sandbag for them, but this sandbag is very hard and durable.

  "Bang, bang, bang!!!"

  As the weapons continued to hit Li Yuan, his skin cracked and his muscles were damaged to a certain extent.

  Then, while he was injured, Li Yuan used the fourth level of [Sword God Body Tempering Technique] to temper his skin, and surprisingly found that the newly grown skin was stronger than the original skin.

  Moreover, this method of using external force to stimulate is several times more efficient than tempering it alone with his domineering aura.

  "I didn't expect it to have such an effect. Looks like I need to work harder on these junior brothers."

  After seeing such an effect, Li Yuan decided that he would have his fellow apprentices help him practice for at least six hours every day, and he would spend the rest of the time practicing swordsmanship.

  As half a month passed, Li Yuan felt that his strength was improving by leaps and bounds.

  Even though the domineering body tempering mainly tempers the skin, when the domineering energy flows through the body, it will still temper his body and make him stronger.

  It has been just over a month since Li Yuan went out to sea, and he feels that he has become much stronger, and the speed of this growth is much faster than ever before.

  "Maybe it's because my strength and physique are in a period of rapid improvement after the awakening of Armament Haki."

  Li Yuan thought to himself that only this situation could explain why his strength grew so fast.

  After all, Luffy also made rapid progress after awakening his Armament Haki.

  After half a month of hard training, Li Yuan felt a little tired, so he planned to stop and rest, relax, and give his body a break.

  However, he planned to take a break, but someone would not give him this opportunity.

  "Big Brother!!"

  Li Yuan had just returned to his room to take a shower when Lazili came to his room. Today, Lazili was wearing light blue silk pajamas, revealing her snow-white and crystal skin, and her majestic weapon was tightly bound, ready to come out.

  Her skin is white, tender and smooth, with a radiant glow, and her face is beautiful. Under her curved eyebrows are beautiful eyes as clear as water.

  Her small and delicate nose, juicy lips, and dimples in her smile make her pretty while also exuding a mature and natural elegance.

  It can be said that it seems that only now does Li Yuan truly understand Lazili.

  When Lazili saw Li Yuan, she rushed up to him without caring about Li Yuan's reaction. Her graceful body was so close to him that Li Yuan's blood boiled instantly.

  After what happened with Xia Qi, Li Yuan no longer restricted his nature, but indulged it and acted according to his will.

  Since Lazili was so proactive, Li Yuan naturally would not be like Liu Xiahui. Instead, he turned passivity into initiative and started an exciting battle with Lazili.

  "Big Brother, I..."

  "Don't say anything, I understand."

  After the battle, Li Yuan walked out of the room refreshed, while Lazili had consumed too much energy in her first battle and needed sleep to replenish her energy.

  Li Yuan himself had a strong physique, and even though he had wasted a lot of physical strength, he was still energetic and not affected at all.

  If it wasn't for Lazili's first time and she wasn't physically strong enough, he could have continued to fight for another 300 rounds!

  After relaxing, Li Yuan was ready to start training again.

  "Don't you feel tired of exercising so frequently and suffering so much pain every day?"

  "Since you've become a pirate, shouldn't you enjoy your freedom as a pirate?"

  Looking at Li Yuan who was exercising constantly in the sun and wind every day, Xia Qi asked in confusion.

  In the Rocks Pirates, she rarely saw pirates training on their own. After all, which pirate didn't enjoy themselves unscrupulously? Who would spend so much time and effort to train?

  It can be said that few pirates can endure loneliness and persevere in training like Li Yuan.

  "If you don't keep exercising, how can you gain great strength in a short period of time? Without great strength, you won't survive long in this cruel sea."

  "It's not that I don't want to enjoy the freedom of being a pirate, but I know that my strength is still too weak, and I'm not qualified to stop and enjoy my freedom."

  "Just like you did before. If you had my strength, would you still be afraid of those CP members? Kill as many as they come. Why bother running away?"

  Li Yuan replied.

  Hearing this, Xia Qi also knew how determined this man was in his desire for power, so she didn't say anything else. All she could do was help him relax when he was tired.

  "Big Brother, there is a pirate ship coming up ahead, and it is flying the flag of the Rocks Pirates."

  Kalu said nervously, the Rocks Pirates are the overlords of the New World, it's impossible for him not to be nervous.

  "Hmm? The Rocks Pirates?"

   Li Yuan looked in the direction that Kalu said. With his observation Haki, he could clearly see the pirate ship in front of him.
