Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 6 Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist

Boom~~

Suddenly, a peculiar stream of air surged from the depths of Jiang Fan's mind, brimming with astonishing power, swiftly extending to every part of his skin.

It felt like serpentine flows of energy were slithering through every nook of his frame.

As they moved, his skin grew sleeker and more resilient.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...

This was the Soaring Snake Breathing Technique outlined in the Soaring Snake Technique.

Through the might of this breathing method, it tempers the body, leading to deeper advancement.

Influenced by this enigmatic force, Jiang Fan appeared to slip into a trance of profound insight, where challenging elite martial skills instantly became clear.

Across the sky and ground, threads of arcane power dispersed via the breathing technique's force.

Right then, Jiang Fan's form seemed wrapped in a vast veil of white vapor, like he was drifting on clouds.

These vapors flowed in and out via his nose, mouth, eyes, and each pore across his skin.

In that instant, he resembled a true Immortal.

The space near the osmanthus tree was also cloaked in fog.

Luckily, it was deep into the night, with quiet surroundings save for the chirps of bugs and birds, or else this spectacle would have drawn the attention of the villagers for sure.

No one could tell how long it took for the event to conclude.

Jiang Fan fully awoke from this remarkable condition.

"Did I truly reach the entry level of the Soaring Snake Technique so effortlessly?"

Jiang Fan examined the display on his status.

[Name: Jiang Fan]

[Life Chart: Great Blessings Equal to Heaven, Attribute: Escape great dangers, enjoy subsequent blessings]

[Lifespan: 60]

[Luck Points: 0]

[Cultivation Technique: Soaring Snake Technique (incomplete), First Layer]

[Skills: Fishing (beginner)]

[Realm: Skin Tempering Realm (53%)]

"Haha, I actually succeeded in the breakthrough; now I'm a Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist."

Jiang Fan balled his fists, overflowing with thrill.

He right away spotted the huge shift in his skin.

Before, from constant exposure to sun and rain plus hard daily work, his skin was rough and dry, covered in numerous marks, giving him an aged look.

Though just seventeen or eighteen, he seemed far older, like twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

This was typical for fishermen; they aged prematurely and wore out fast.

Yet now, as a Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist, it was like he'd molted like a Soaring Snake, his skin flawlessly smooth, with every scar vanished entirely.

Even better, the skin had turned incredibly durable, capable of shrugging off strikes from blades and clubs.

"They say Skin Tempering Martial Artists possess hides like ox leather, offering strong defense against blows."

"Fists from regular folks barely harm them."

"Their unique skin absorbs much of the force from impacts."

"Certain strong Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artists can even endure hits from blades and clubs."

"And if a crowd of dozens assaults them at once, they come out unscathed."

Jiang Fan now grasped why the Dragon King Gang members acted so boldly; they were all Martial Artists.

Even just a couple of them could overpower a hundred from Osmanthus Village.

It amounted to a complete transformation and boost.

Still, martial techniques varied from low, mid, high, to supreme grades.

With a low-grade technique, the skin tempering only affected parts like hands or feet, while supreme ones enveloped the whole body.

Sadly, such supreme martial techniques were exceedingly rare, barely numbering more than a few.

In somewhere like Tonghe County, one might not exist at all.

The Soaring Snake Technique counted as a supreme martial technique; its skin tempering reached every body part, repeatedly reshaping the Martial Artist's skin.

Just like a Soaring Snake molting.

"My power is overwhelmingly immense now."

"One punch packs at least three hundred jin of strength."

Jiang Fan gripped his fist, sensing vigor coursing through his entire being.

As a fisherman's boy, toiling endlessly had built him decent might, but he was nowhere near a real Martial Artist.

Moreover, the heavy work had left him with plenty of internal wounds and weariness.

However, now that he'd grasped the Soaring Snake Technique, his body experienced a massive overhaul.

Every hidden injury within him dissolved.

His vitality surged to impressive levels.

Thanks to that, his lifespan stretched to sixty years.

This advancement in cultivation granted him twelve extra years of life.

Even though all one hundred Luck Points were spent, it was utterly worthwhile.

"It's not only my strength that's grown."

"My agility and burst potential have surged as well."

Jiang Fan threw a punch, his speed more than twice as fast.

Though unskilled in specific martial forms, just with raw burst and quickness, he outmatched any average man. Not even fellow Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artists could keep up.

After all, the Soaring Snake Technique was a supreme method that refined his body completely.

Standard techniques fell short of such results.

"I'm curious about Zheng Wenbing's power level."

Jiang Fan pondered the Dragon King Gang's head, Zheng Wenbing. The man was surely a Martial Artist, but unclear if Skin Tempering Realm or beyond.

Yet with his own power now vastly enhanced, he dreaded Zheng Wenbing far less.

Such was the assurance power provided.

"Time's getting on; I need to return."

Jiang Fan glanced at the moon, figuring if he stayed longer, folks in Osmanthus Village might stir and spot the oddity, exposing his hidden gains.

Thinking that, he wasted no time, grabbed the iron hoe, and filled the soil back in.

Quickly, the spot looked as it had before.

Not even close inspection would reveal signs of tampering.

Next, he picked up the wooden box and hurried back home.

Being so late, nobody spotted Jiang Fan in the area.

"This chance was simply incredible."

Once home, Jiang Fan's racing excitement settled, and he securely tucked away the wooden box.

This Eighth-Grade Opportunity delivered massive gains.

Beyond the twenty taels of silver, he gained a supreme martial technique, arming him with self-defense might.

The future days now held real promise.
