Jiang Yuan did not want to waste this opportunity of tempering.
With Gongye Lie’s help, he could save a lot of effort.
With this thought, Jiang Yuan spoke, “Brother, let’s go! I’m ready!”
“Are you sure you’re ready?”
“Absolutely!” declared Jiang Yuan with confidence.
“Alright, then I won’t hold back any longer!”
As his words landed, Gongye Lie once again swung the large hammer he held, bringing it down heavily upon Jiang Yuan.
Thud——
A resounding boom followed as Jiang Yuan stepped forward.
Gongye Lie’s gaze tightened slightly, and he thought to himself.
Good lad! He’s grown stronger!
This time, he held his ground with just one step backward!
After a few dozen breaths…
Gongye Lie’s hammer came down again.
Thud——
This time, Jiang Yuan stepped back two paces.
After a few dozen more breaths, Jiang Yuan exhaled lightly.
“Brother, your grasp of strength is incredible!”
“Of course!” Gongye Lie laughed, “I’ve been forging for decades, there are few who can match my mastery of strength!”
With Gongye Lie’s aid in tempering…
Day turned into night, time passing by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.
“That should be enough,” Gongye Lie said, halting his hands.
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, “Yes, it should be enough.”
Looking within his physical body, he found that his bones now had a lustrous hue, emanating a sacred aura.
Compared to before, his bone strength had reached a new level, with seventy percent of it having undergone jade transformation.
In such a state, the hardness of his bones was comparable to a mid-grade spiritual weapon.
The transformation was astounding.
Moreover, with the continual enhancement of his bone strength, he’d begun feeling the nourishing effects on his blood.
The amount of divine energy contained in his blood was increasing, the golden particles pervading his bloodstream, giving it a golden hue and imbuing it with a sense of sanctity.
“How is it, has there been a significant transformation?” Gongye Lie inquired.
Jiang Yuan nodded, his face revealing his joy, “There has been a great change! My bones have undergone 70 percent jade transformation!”
“Seventy percent? That’s excellent,” Gongye Lie said with a gratifying look.
He had gained a clear understanding of Jiang Yuan’s physical potential over the days of tempering.
The two were not on the same level.
It took him ten years to entirely jade-transform his skeleton when he was at the Ninth Level of the Dharma Image Realm, at the peak of his circumstances.
Such strength, where the hardness of the skeleton could achieve the hardness of a high-grade spiritual weapon, was incredibly formidable.
He could be seen as invincible within the same realm!
However, despite the passing of several decades after that achievement, there had been no progress.
After his bones had transformed into jade, he found himself clueless about the next step.
Even when he sought advice from the dean, it was to no avail.
The dean’s bones had long transcended the ordinary under the nurturing of the holy body, turning completely golden.
The dean suggested the possibility that he was lacking divine nourishment, which was preventing transformation.
At this thought, Gongye Lie sighed silently.
However, seeing Jiang Yuan, he brushed off his melancholy, finding hope again in his abilities.
With his speed of tempering, if he was eventually able to transform, he could surely provide a new direction.
He then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, “Regarding the subsequent tempering of your bones, you’ll have to meticulously refine them yourself to achieve complete jade transformation. Once you reach that stage, your bones will become as hard as high-grade spiritual weapons.”
“Your bones nurturing your blood will also make your physical body stronger!”
“The road ahead is yours to walk!”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Brother Gongye, don’t worry! If I uncover the secrets of jade bone transformation, I’ll be sure to share it with you!”
“Good!” Gongye Lie revealed a smile, “If you can figure out the transformation of the jade bones, I owe you one!”
Jiang Yuan laughed, “Brother, you’re joking! Without your diligent help these past few days, I wouldn’t have been able to save so much time on tempering!”
“Helping each other is what brothers do! How can we call it a favor!”
Gongye Lie laughed, giving Jiang Yuan a hearty pat on the shoulder.
“Good lad! I knew I was right about you! That’s what I like to hear!”
Then, waving his hand, he said, “You should leave now. At your age, you should go out and see the world, and not hole up in the Holy Institute like us!”
“Keep fighting! I look forward to the day you make it onto the Supreme Ranking!”
Jiang Yuan bowed, “Don’t worry, Brother Gongye, that day will come!”
“Off you go!” Gongye Lie waved his hands.
Jiang Yuan bowed again, “I’ll take my leave now.”
Gongye Lie watched as Jiang Yuan’s departing figure gradually retreated, and laughed.
“The kid sure knows how to curry favour!”
Having said that, he made his way back to his forge.
Upon reaching the forge, he picked up a hammer, his facial expression stiffened slightly.
Slapping his forehead, he exclaimed, “Ah, I forgot to give the little fellow a divine weapon!”
Turning around, he found that Jiang Yuan’s figure had already vanished behind the mountains.
“Forget about it, forget about it! To call him back now would expose my forgetfulness, wouldn’t it? Next time! I’ll give him a top-tier divine weapon next time!”
…
Jiang Yuan arrived at Dugu Bo’s courtyard.
“Greetings, Dean!” Jiang Yuan bowed.
At that time, Dugu Bo was still quietly fishing in his courtyard.
“Are you leaving the Holy Institute?”
“Yes!”
Jiang Yuan nodded; at the same time, a thought passed through his mind and Dugu Bo’s Golden Qi of Luck instantly merged into his Status Panel.
As Dugu Bo was endowed with Golden Innate Qi Yun, he could condense ten strands of Luck Power a day.
As the Luck Power that had accumulated on him over these days merged with the Status Panel…
The quantity of Luck Power instantly rose to 7203 strands.
