Proficiency: Cultivated 10 Million Times

Chapter 20 The Effect of Dual Cultivation

Half a month passed in a flash.

There were a few iron stakes in the courtyard of the dojo and muffled sounds of hitting the stakes could be heard repeatedly.

Wang Yu’s figure quickly shuttled back and forth between these iron stakes. His punches were sometimes fast, sometimes fierce, and sometimes soft, leaving deep or shallow marks in those iron stakes.

If one paid close attention, he would discover a specific pattern in Wang Yu’s footsteps. The rhythm of his footsteps was controlled perfectly, turning into a cycle.

+3, +5, +2, +4, +5…

On his feet and fists, Skill Proficiency popped up from time to time.

Only when his stamina was exhausted did Wang Yu, who was covered in sweat, stop this round of training.

At this moment, his flushed skin gradually returned to its normal color after the effects of the blood pork faded.

“This way, it’s all here!” Wang Yu thought to himself. He picked up the towel at the side to wipe himself and took a look at his personal interface.

Name: Wang Yu

Race: Human

Cultivation: Body Tempering Level Three

Martial arts: Shadowless Fist+3, Hong Family Fist+1, Soft Yin Palm Technique+1, Unfalling Bell Technique+1, Zu Clan’s Wind Chasing Kick+1

At the Nightsleepers’ Gathering, he spent a lot of money to buy a total of four incomplete body tempering techniques.

With the continuous consumption of precious pork, he reached the first level of all four body tempering techniques in just half a month. This was done without delaying the daily accumulation of proficiency of the Shadowless Fist.

This cultivation speed was simply superb.

The set of circulating steps he had just practiced between the iron stakes was the most effective cultivation method he had figured out himself.

In the process of circulating, the proficiency of every body tempering technique he had learned had increased, so he would not lose sight of one.

In addition, he initially thought that it was only for the first level of the Body Tempering Technique. No matter how much he practiced, it would not increase his Body Tempering cultivation and physique. It would not even affect his strength.

Only when these body tempering techniques were cultivated and gradually caught up to the level of the Shadowless Fist would they truly be of use.

And the situation was more or less as he had expected

When he cultivated these Body Tempering Techniques to the first level, his overall strength almost did not increase. After all, the Shadowless Fist had already tempered his body, and his physical strength was no longer ordinary.

But there were also some discrepancies.

The final goal of every body tempering technique was to increase the cultivation, allowing the body to break through its limits and continuously strengthen itself.

As for this process, the body tempering technique he cultivated was different, so the emphasis would also be different.

Take his Shadowless Fist for example. When his cultivation level increased and his body underwent a transformation, the strengthening of his arms would be especially significant. They would be tacitly strengthened in the way that was most suitable to unleash the Shadowless Fist.

This allowed his punches to be faster than martial artists of the same realm.

Until it evolved to the final sixth level, Shadowless Ghost Hands!

As a result, when Hong Family Fist broke through to the first level, his arms once again felt numb and hot.

This was a feeling that only appeared when his cultivation level increased. Although this itch was very minor, it was indeed there.

After the numbness subsided, he tried punching again. It was still as fast as the wind, but the wind from his punch became stronger. It was as if even the strength of his punch had increased.

That was undoubtedly the part that surprised him.

Similarly, the flexibility of the Soft Yin Palm Technique also merged into his punches, making his attacks a little confusing for the opponents.

The Unfalling Bell Technique was a body tempering technique that emphasized transforming strength. It emphasized attacking and defending as one, as well as deflecting force.

This body tempering technique did not improve him. However, the descriptions in it made him feel enlightened.

The last skill, the Zu Clan Wind Chasing Foot, improved his leg technique and speed.

Originally, the Shadowless Fist had its own movement technique, but compared to this body tempering technique that focused on leg techniques, it was far inferior.

Based on his current feelings, this leg technique had improved him the most.

“But it’s not enough.” Wang Yu looked quite excited.

This was only the effect of the first level of the body tempering technique. If it reached the second or even third level, the effect on his combat strength would definitely be considerable.

At noon, Wang Yu prepared to go out for a meal as usual to rest and relax.

After training hard for an entire morning, his body would ache and his energy would be lost. It was still very important to recover his body at the right time.

When he walked to the courtyard, he saw the commotion outside.

“Congratulations, Eldest Senior Brother. You’re really amazing!” “That’s right. Such a young martial artist who reached the fourth level of Body Tempering! You have a promising future!”

“I wonder what Eldest Senior Brother plans to do in the future. Would he go out and start his own business or join a powerful family? I heard that the Fortune Trading Company and the Li Family in the island town have already invited Eldest Senior Brother to join them.”

“In my opinion, he should just join the army and fight for our country. That’s what we should do!”

Song Hezheng was surrounded by the disciples. From their words, Wang Yu roughly understood the situation.

Song He had accumulated a lot of experiences and found the opportunity to break through. After training for more than half a month, he finally completed his breakthrough. His fist technique reached the fourth level, and his cultivation broke through to the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

At the age of 28, he could indeed be considered a young talent.

It should be noted that martial artists at the fourth level of Body Tempering were qualified to open a martial arts school and become a master.

From then on, there was a subtle distance between Song and the other disciples.

After Wang Yu understood the situation, he also smiled and went forward to congratulate Song.

Wang Yu admired this Eldest Senior Brother from the bottom of his heart as he was all-rounded with a good personality.

When he first began learning martial arts, he also received a lot of help from Song Hezheng.

“Hahaha, Hezheng, you really didn’t disappoint me. You broke through just like that!” In the inner room, Sun Chengshan, who had heard the news, laughed and walked over.

He was also extremely satisfied with his eldest disciple. Not only did his cultivation speed increase with age but his other conditions were also outstanding.

“This is all thanks to Master’s guidance. You brought me to where I am today.” Song Hezheng had already finished celebrating. His expression was calm and respectful.

He was neither arrogant nor rash. He did not become complacent from his current martial arts achievements. This made Sun Chengshan even more satisfied.

Then, he looked at Wang Yu. Among the disciples, these two were really outstanding.

He was relieved in every way.

After a while, Sun Chengshan dismissed the other disciples, leaving Song Hezheng and Wang Yu behind.

Only then did he turn serious and look at Song

“Hezheng, since you’ve already cultivated the fourth level of the Shadowless Fist, you’re qualified to graduate. Do you have other plans in the future?”

Sung Hezheng was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, “I’m obsessed with martial arts and won’t go anywhere else. I want to continue cultivating in the dojo.”

“Oh? You’re not going anywhere?” Sun Chengshan looked surprised.

“Yes.” Song nodded firmly.

“I heard that there are many people recruiting you outside. Even Chief Zheng has some thoughts about inviting you over. You will have access to more cultivation resources than staying in the dojo,” Sun Chengshan said honestly.

Sung Hezheng hesitated for a moment, but finally said, “I’m different from the other disciples. Master took me in even before the dojo was established. I feel at ease staying by Master’s side.”

That was what he really thought deep down. Sun Chengshan shook his head. Song treated him like a father.

Their relationship was indeed deeper than that of the other disciples.

“Forget it. Whether you stay or leave, it’s up to you to decide. Speaking of which, it’s indeed a little troublesome without you in the dojo,” Sun Chengshan said with a smile.

“Thank you, master,” Song said gratefully.
