Chapter 7

Although Yang Kai was only fifteen years old this year, ever since he had experienced that great disaster three years ago, his mindset had been much more mature than that of his peers. It was precisely because of that great disaster that his unyielding and tenacious character had been honed.

Therefore, Yang Kai quickly calmed down. Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the wordless black book in his hands he carefully examined the first page.

After confirming that the first page no longer had any effect, Yang Kai slowly flipped it open and turned to the second page.

With the previous experience, Yang Kai’s movements this time seemed very familiar. Staring intently at the black page with wide eyes, after a long while, the gilt characters just like those on the first page slowly emerged again.

“Proud Bone Golden Body： Body Tempering Chapter！”

Yang Kai’s mood couldn’t help but fluctuate！ As he had guessed, it seemed that each page of this black book might hide something.

Almost without thinking, Yang Kai threw all his attention into the second page of the wordless black book.

In an instant, the gilt characters on the black book seemed to turn into living fish, leaping out from the pages, transforming into a sky full of golden shadows, and directly drilling towards Yang Kai’s head. When the golden shadows disappeared, Yang Kai felt as if there was something more in his mind. And these things were precisely brought by those golden shadows just now.

Calming the excited emotions in his heart, Yang Kai closed his eyes and began to digest the knowledge in his mind.

Actually, there was no need to digest. The knowledge that came with the golden shadows was clearly present in his mind at this moment. With just a thought, it emerged, and he also understood it smoothly and thoroughly.

“This is the Body Tempering Chapter.” Yang Kai muttered to himself. He found that this was actually a set of fist and foot techniques.

A set of fist and foot techniques that looked relatively simple but were actually extremely profound, and the time for practicing this set of fist and foot techniques also had strict requirements. It was actually necessary to practice when the sun was rising.

That is to say, at most, it could only be practiced for half an hour every day.

It was just nightfall now. To wait until dawn, at least five or six hours were needed. Yang Kai had been tossing and turning all day and only ate a roasted sweet potato. His stomach was growling with hunger. Although his body was weak and tired, after obtaining such a precious treasure as the worless black book, his spirit was extremely excited.

Unable to sleep for a while, he began to study the third page of the wordless black book.

But to his disappointment, no matter how he probed, the third page still showed no change. Looking at it, he actually fell asleep like this.

When Yang Kai woke up again, it was just before the sun rose in the east. The darkness before dawn was the deepest and most secluded. Everything was quiet. The entire Lingxiao Pavilion was silent. Occasionally, the chirping of insects and the singing of birds could be heard, which was the early birds looking for food.

With something on his mind, Yang Kai quickly got up from the bed, came to the front of the hut, stood with his hands down, and took a few deep breaths to let his whole body relax slowly.

A touch of fish-belly white appeared in the east. Yang Kai opened his eyes. The set of boxing and kicking techniques in the Body Tempering Chapter had been practiced countless times in his mind. Immediately, he skillfully adopted the stance.

His hands became palms, and the movements were gentle and slow. He pushed forward to the left and right, and then suddenly retracted, embracing the heaven and earth in his chest, rubbing all things between his palms, stepping on the land of China, and swallowing the sun, moon, and stars.

His left foot stepped out, and a was the end of the world. His right foot moved slightly and one step was the underworld of Huangquan. In the blink of an eye, however, there was a vigorous vitality, just like the blooming of hundreds of flowers in spring, full of spring, spring passed and summer came, the hot sun was quiet, and the fragrance of lotus was quiet.

The autumn wind was rustling, the golden fruits were refreshing. The cold wind was whistling back and forth, and the white snow was covering everything in silver.

Yang Kai’s expression gradually became solemn, and the fists and kicks he slowly executed seemed to be weighed down by ten thousand catties of boulders, and he couldn’t execute them no matter what.

Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, Yang Kai’s face paled, and he suddenly staggered, almost falling to his knees.

Although he had practiced it countless times in his mind and knew that this set of fist and foot techniques was definitely not simple, Yang Kai never expected that the Body Tempering Chapter would be so mysterious.

Just now, in that short moment, Yang Kai felt that the entire world was pressing on him, yet he could feel all the sensations in the human world within this enormous pressure.

This Body Tempering Chapter is not about practicing fists and kicks, but about practicing the vicissitudes of life, birth, old age, sickness, and death, about practicing the sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, about practicing the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion, the waxing and waning of the moon. In each slow fist and kick, the power of heaven and earth is involved, and it is filled with the mysterious and wonderful rules and mysteries.

Just now, Yang Kai had only pushed out six palms and taken three steps, not even one percent of the progress of the Body Tempering Chapter, and he was already unable to continue. That crisp cracking sound even came from his spine, causing Yang Kai to mistakenly think that his bones had broken.

Quickly feeling it, he found that his back was only a little painful and there was no serious problem.

Calming his mind, Yang Kai once again assumed his stance and executed the routine of the Body Tempering Chapter.

Just now, without any mental preparation, Yang Kai’s mind was in a trance and he didn’t feel it very clearly. This time, having learned from the previous experience, Yang Kai naturally held his breath and concentrated his mind. With the slow dancing of his fists and feet, Yang Kai once again felt the artistic conception just now, and it was much clearer than before.

His chest was filled with a complex mixture of emotions, and he couldn’t tell what it was like. Moreover, as the routine was unfolded, his fists and feet became heavier and heavier, as if he was in the water, hard and difficult to unfold.

The clicking sound was incessant. Every movement of Yang Kai made his whole body bones crack like firecrackers. The piercing pain came from all over his body, but Yang Kai remained unmoved. His tenacious perseverance was vividly displayed at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai was sweating profusely, and his hands and feet were trembling constantly, as if the weight of the sky and the earth was added to his body, extremely heavy.

A kind of persistence was surging in his heart.

Suddenly, a warm current came from his body and slowly spread. The pain all over his body was also reduced a lot in an instant. Yang Kai was greatly encouraged and concentrated more on using his fists and feet. He knew that this warm current must be emitted by the Proud Bone Golden Body that he had integrated into his body. After all, the Body Tempering Chapter was originally with the Golden Body.

The sun rose in the east. In front of the most remote hut in Lingxiao Pavilion, the youth was sweating profusely, slowly performing fists and kicks to practice. The long martial way began to be explored from today.

Half an hour passed quickly. When Yang Kai suddenly felt his whole body lighten and there was no longer that heavy force on him, he knew that he could no longer practice the Body Tempering Chapter at this moment.

It is clearly stated in the Body Tempering Chapter that only within half an hour before the sun rises can this set of fist and kick techniques be practiced.

As if all the strength in his body had been drained, Yang Kai slumped to the ground and took a deep breath. A purple qi rhyme was sucked into Yang Kai’s mouth and disappeared along with his breath. In an instant, Yang Kai actually felt a sense of refreshing, and there seemed to be a faint movement in his body.

Yang Kai was stunned and quickly felt carefully. This time, Yang Kai couldn’t help but be surprised.

Qi sense！ He had actually developed a qi sense. That is to say, he had broken through the third level of Body Tempering and stepped into the fourth level of Body Tempering？

This great good news really made Yang Kai overjoyed. Since entering Lingxiao Pavilion until now, it took three years to cultivate to the third level of Body Tempering, but today, after only half an hour of performing the fist and kick techniques, he actually broke through.

The Body Tempering Realm has a total of nine levels, and it is about training the body. The first three levels are just about strengthening the body and have nothing special, but after reaching the fourth level, a qi sense will be generated in the meridians.

Only when the qi sense is born can one cultivate further.

Although there is already a qi sense at this time, there is still no true qi in the body. Only when reaching the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm will a small amount of true qi be generated in the body. Until the end of the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, when the great is in the body is connected, the true qi is initially opened, and the bridge between heaven and earth is connected, and one breaks through to the Kaiyuan Realm, can one truly possess one’s own true qi.

The Kaiyuan Realm is the starting point of a martial artist.

Everything in the Body Tempering Realm is laying a preliminary foundation for the future path. This foundation is not fixed. As a person’s strength increases, the muscles, bones, and skin will be repeatedly tempered until reaching the peak.

And Yang Kai has just entered the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm at this moment, just having a preliminary qi sense. In the eyes of outsiders, it is nothing, but for Yang Kai himself, it is a great piece of good news.
