Boom~~
In an instant, Jiang Fan sensed a mysterious airflow emerging from the depths of his consciousness, containing incredible energy, spreading rapidly to every inch of his skin.
It seemed as if snake-shaped air currents were roaming every corner of his body.
With each movement, his skin became smoother and tougher.
Inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale...
This is the Soaring Snake Breathing Technique recorded in the Soaring Snake Technique.
By harnessing the power of the breathing technique, it refines the physique, achieving further evolution.
Under the influence of this mysterious power, Jiang Fan seemed to enter a state of enlightenment, and the top martial arts techniques that were difficult to comprehend were suddenly understood.
In the heavens and the earth, strands of mysterious energy spread through the power of the breathing technique.
At this moment, Jiang Fan's body seemed to be enveloped by a large expanse of white mist, as if in a state of cloud riding.
These mists were entering and exiting through his nostrils, mouth, eyes, and every pore on his body.
It was as if he became an Immortal in that moment.
The area around the osmanthus tree was also shrouded in mist.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and the surroundings were silent except for the sound of insects and birds, otherwise, such a commotion would have surely been noticed by the villagers.
It's unclear how much time had passed before the phenomenon finally ended.
Jiang Fan also completely emerged from this extraordinary state.
"Did I really achieve the beginner level of the Soaring Snake Technique this easily?"
Jiang Fan looked at the panel on his body.
[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 really broke through, now I have become a Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist."
Jiang Fan clenched his fists, feeling very excited.
He immediately noticed a drastic change in his skin.
Originally, due to sun and rain exposure and daily labor, his skin was very dry, with many scars, making him look very old.
Clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old, but appearing very mature, as if twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
This is also a characteristic of every fisherman, they mature early and age quickly.
But now, after becoming a Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist, it's as if he's shed his skin like a Soaring Snake, his skin is incomparably smooth, and all the scars have completely disappeared.
More importantly, the skin has become very tough, able to withstand attacks from knives and sticks.
"It's said that Skin Tempering Martial Artists have skin like cowhide, with great resistance to impact."
"Ordinary people's punches hitting them can't cause much damage."
"Because their special skin helps them reduce a lot of impact force."
"Some powerful Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artists can even resist blows from knives and sticks."
"Even if dozens of people attack them together, they remain unharmed."
Jiang Fan finally understood why the people from the Dragon King Gang were so fearless, because they were all Martial Artists.
Even if there were only two or three of them, a hundred people from Osmanthus Village couldn't be their match.
This is basically a qualitative change and enhancement.
However, martial arts techniques also have distinctions of low-grade, middle, high, and top techniques.
If it's a low-grade martial arts technique, the skin tempering wouldn't cover the entire body, only the hands or feet, only the top martial arts techniques could cover every corner of the body.
Unfortunately, such top martial arts techniques are too few, you can count them on one hand.
In a place like Tonghe County, you may not even find one.
The Soaring Snake Technique is such a top martial arts technique, its skin tempering covers every corner of the body, causing repeated transformations of the martial artist's skin.
Like a Soaring Snake shedding its skin.
"Now my strength is too strong."
"A single punch, at least three hundred jin of force."
Jiang Fan clenched his fist, feeling power surging through every part of his body.
Although being a fisherman's son, working day and night gave him considerable strength, he was far from an actual Martial Artist.
Plus, excessive labor resulted in many hidden injuries and fatigue.
But now, after mastering the Soaring Snake Technique, his physique underwent a drastic change.
All the hidden injuries inside his body vanished.
His energy was astonishingly abundant.
Because of this, his lifespan increased to sixty years.
This cultivation breakthrough added twelve years to his lifespan.
Though all one hundred Luck Points have been exhausted, everything was worth it.
"It's not just my strength that has increased."
"My speed and explosive power have also greatly improved."
Jiang Fan punched, and his punching speed had more than doubled.
Even without being adept at any martial arts, relying purely on explosive power and speed, ordinary adult men were no match for him. Even other Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artists couldn't compete.
After all, the Soaring Snake Technique is a top technique that thoroughly refines his body.
Ordinary martial arts couldn't achieve this effect.
"I wonder about Zheng Wenbing's strength."
Jiang Fan thought about the Dragon King Gang leader Zheng Wenbing. The other was definitely a Martial Artist, but whether he was a Skin Tempering Realm Martial Artist or a higher realm one was unknown.
But now that his strength has greatly increased, he feared Zheng Wenbing much less.
This is the confidence that comes with power.
"It's about time, I should head back."
Jiang Fan looked up at the moon, thinking if he lingered here any longer, the villagers of Osmanthus Village might wake up and discover what happened, thus revealing his secrets.
With that in mind, he did not hesitate, immediately swung the iron hoe, and shoveled the earth back into place.
Soon, everything was restored to its original state.
Even if someone observed carefully, they wouldn't find any traces of disturbance.
Then he grabbed the wooden box and quickly headed home.
Since it was late at night, no one noticed Jiang Fan's presence there.
"This opportunity is just too great."
After returning home, Jiang Fan's excited heart finally calmed down, and he carefully stored the wooden box.
This Eighth-Grade Opportunity brought tremendous benefits.
Not only did he obtain twenty taels of silver, but also a top martial arts technique, giving him the power to protect himself.
The days ahead finally had some hope.
