A body of steel

A naked man walked out of a pit, his every step left deep prints in the earth, and even the rock crumbled to dust.

Taking a moment to adapt, his face gradually returned to that of cold indifference. At a closer look, it was clear this man was Bai Ming.

Just that his every line and features were as if sculpted, exuding sharp power. Bai Ming got a feel of his body and touched the crescent mark on his waist, he revealed a satisfied grin.

He was greatly pleased with his body, which was now completely refined with the rotten blood art and was as tough as a semi-low-grade spiritual weapon. Bai Ming repeatedly praised the three-headed Demon saint, to have the ability to create such a terrifying art this demonic cultivator must definitely be a terrifying individual.

The refining process was hellish, excruciating, and deadly, but the result was astounding. It was like, he was reborn with a treasure body. Right now he was only a 7th layer bone forging realm expert but just his raw strength was 16000jin. His healing capabilities also stepped up a notch.

Thinking of this made him burst out in laughter.

But he calmed down quickly, he thought for a moment and came to a conclusion. He quickly got dressed and began practicing drifting steps, he was determined to reach mastery in it.

Two days later, he completely mastered the footwork. His strength rose again.

Bai Ming left the cave and headed toward the village. He used drifting steps movement art as he moved unhindered in the forest.

But just after a few minutes, he came to a stop. He quickly went up a tree.

"Hehe, I was just itching to check out this body's limits. What good timing." Bai Ming mentally spoke as he fixed his gaze on a nearby Hell wolf.

The wild was dangerous all over, but at the same time it had great treasures.

He quickly moved and appeared before the hell wolf and stood at a five-meter distance from it. His eyes burning with battle intent. The Hell Wolf continuously released deep growls.

This Hell wolf was about the size of a water buffalo and had three tails. This particular Hell wolf was a tier 2 low-level demon beast it's strength was comparable to 3rd layer of elemental realm cultivator.

The Hell Wolf's ferocious nature was immediately roused. The claws of its front paws dug into the ground and its jaws opened, revealing two rows of sharp dagger-like teeth, exuding a cold air. It immediately pounced at Bai Ming using its sharp claws.

Swoosh! He drew his Broadsword out of the sheath, instantly producing a sword shadow. He swiped at the Hell Wolf as his Spiritual Power came bursting forth and pushed his strength to its peak.

Clang!

Bai Ming's sword collided with the Hell Wolf's sharp claws, emitting a thunderous sharp metallic sound.

Due to the force, Bai Ming was sent flying for a dozen meters and crashed into a tree. The tree was extremely fragile unable to endure such fierce impact, it snapped in half.

Bai Ming quickly stood up and Inspected his body, seeing that there was not even a scratch. He laughed loudly and directly charged at the hell Wolf, he was sent flying again. He stood up again and attacked again and was sent flying again.

Bai Ming repeated the same thing over and over, but still, there was not even a single injury.

"Wonderful, cultivating rotten blood art was indeed the right choice. It is even better than I hoped it to be." Bai Ming thought in his heart.

Bai Ming had just stood up when the Hell wolf already pounced at him, but this time he just used his fist to attack.

Bam!

Bai Ming was sent flying again, but this time his knuckles were a bit bloody and his entire right arm was feeling numb "Looks like this the limit, I can probably endure 3-4 more direct hits, but any more, the injury will be serious."

"Drifting steps" Bai Ming immediately began to retreat, he never hoped to be able to kill this Hell wolf in the first place, his only intention was to determine the limits of his body. Having achieved that, he immediately began to retreat.

But the Hell wolf was quicker than him, it would catch up to him again and again. Every time he had to use his sword to block the attacks and was sent flying constantly. This continued, and finally the frustrated Hell wolf understood that it couldn't kill him, after nearly half an hour of pursuit it unwillingly gave up.

Bai Ming breathed out a sigh of relief, even though he was uninjured, he was not particularly fond of being thrown like a football.

After entering the village, Bai Ming directly headed towards the village market. He was going to sell a few of the beast cores he had.

Hell Wolfs are beasts which specially reside in the Xuan mountain, The cores of these beasts are used as materials in alchemy. Hence, when the merchant caravan comes once every four years, there would be high demand for it, and these Hell Wolf's body parts would be sold to them.

But the main objective of selling these beast cores was not spirit stones, it was to have a cover. By constantly going outside of the village he may incur people's suspicion, by selling these beast cores not only can he get rid of these suspicions but also quickly sell off those beast cores. It was killing two birds with one stone.

"The next step of my plan will need me to go out regularly, having this cover will definitely be of help. Now I have to quickly raise my realm, once I reach the 9th layer I will begin collecting materials for the second layer of rotten blood art."
