[Current Power Level: 207 years]
Staring at the panel before him, Wei Fan fell into deep thought.
Currently, he has two hundred years of power available, but no martial arts to apply to.
That's not entirely true, there are no new martial arts to be added.
"Add to Blade Intent, or add to Horizontal Martial Arts training?"
He has two targets for addition, Blade Intent and Horizontal Martial Arts training. Blade Intent needs no explanation; it's very powerful stuff, even reaching entry level took fifty years of power.
Horizontal Martial Arts training also can be further cultivated.
Although he's cultivated all four Horizontal Martial Arts techniques to perfection, his power cannot grow further, and his body has reached its limit.
However, during exchanges with Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong, he learned that Horizontal Martial Arts training has a supreme realm called Horizontal Cultivation of Innate.
It's where true energy arises from the outside to the inside.
However, no one has reached this realm for years; it demands extremely high talent and also takes much time.
Of course, if broken through, the combat power would be absolutely overwhelming; the horizontal true energy born from it is called Supreme True Qi, with terrifying power.
Regarding Horizontal Martial Arts talent, his own talent isn't high. If he forcibly breaks through to Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, it would consume a lot of power.
"What am I thinking? Only kids make choices, adults take it all. If power runs out, I can hunt demon fiends.
If I don't break through to Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, I'll regret it later, no matter how much power I have."
Wei Fan quickly smiled with determination.
The Blade Intent is already sufficient for him at the moment, and it doesn't mean he's giving up on Blade Intent.
As for the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate realm, if he doesn't break through now, it'll be impossible once he becomes an Acupoint Martial Artist.
"Use fifty years of power, add martial art Glazed Treasure Body!"
Among the four Horizontal Martial Arts techniques, he chose to allocate power to Glazed Treasure Body because it's the only one of the four with a confirmed follow-up cultivation technique, obtainable once he enters the Demon Suppression Bureau.
As for Giant Bear Skill, Iron Body Skill, and Thirteen Grand Protectors, whether there's a cultivation technique for the Body Refining Realm is unknown, and even if there is, finding it would be a major issue.
[Deduct fifty years of power, add martial art Glazed Treasure Body]
The panel flickered.
[You have reached the horizontal limit, even with four Horizontal Martial Arts techniques, your power cannot increase at all]
[But having heard of the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate realm, you wish to break through to this supreme realm!]
[One year of power, no breakthrough in your Horizontal training]
[Ten years of power, your Horizontal training remains stagnant]
[Thirty years of power, you feel some slight changes in your body, but they are not apparent. Continue diligent cultivation]
[Fifty years of power, your entire body emits fragrance, your flesh is crystal-clear, your blood like mercury, but still have not reached the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate realm]
Fifty years of power, and it's just come to an end!
Wei Fan looked down and saw his originally bronze-colored skin now as rosy as a baby's, without the hard steel-like feel it once had.
At the same time, he caught a previously unfelt fragrance from the tip of his nose.
These fifty years of power weren't without gains.
Previously he had a strong physique, immediately identifiable as a horizontal training expert, but now he seems to have reverted to the unrefined Wei Fan.
"There truly is the realm of Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, continue adding!"
If fifty years of power aren't enough, then a hundred, if a hundred isn't sufficient, then two hundred.
His talent for horizontal martial arts indeed isn't great, but he has plenty of power to pour in, he can afford it.
If it only took twenty or so years to achieve Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, it wouldn't have such high prestige, the greater the difficulty, the more powerful it signifies.
[Sixty years of power, you swear to break through Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, day by day, year by year, each time you train, your body expels foul blood, purifying and cleansing the essence]
[Eighty years of power, you still persevere, teeth fall out, new fine teeth grow in, your skin begins to peel]
[One hundred years of power, you finally break the limit through Glazed Treasure Body, inside out, Horizontal Cultivation of Innate]
"Boom..."
As Wei Fan was tearing away old skin with his hands, he felt as if his body exploded, his consciousness void, his spirit rapidly expanding from a small point.
Once he regained awareness, he felt an avalanche-like upheaval inside, a vast, vigorous purple true qi surging from every inch of his skin, each cell, rushing into the meridians, then gathering into the dantian.
This true qi is not only vast and vigorous but also dominating.
Inside Wei Fan's dantian, the formerly earthy yellow true qi cultivated through Golden Bell Shield was bullied out as the purple supreme true qi entered, expelled from the dantian.
In an instant, Wei Fan seemed to be releasing power, a massive rush of true qi burst out of his pores, causing his house to hum and vibrate.
"Such domineering true qi!"
Wei Fan was somewhat moved; his previous true qi, having been purified through Unity of the Three, was already at an impurity-free level.
Yet even so, the true qi cultivated through Golden Bell Shield showed no resistance against this purple true qi and was driven out.
"My meridians and dantian are being expanded, and the flesh power that reached its limit is also increasing..."
The advantages of having true qi arise from an external-to-internal transformation, not only result in the creation of supreme true qi, but represent a fundamental metamorphosis, an essential upgrade.
His head emitted a blood qi aura that almost blew off his roof.
A hundred years of power accumulation has garnered benefits too vast to be fully described.
In just a few breaths, Wei Fan felt his physical strength had doubled.
Once things settled down, he finally had time to look at the panel:
[One hundred years of power, you break through Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, single-arm strength of one hundred thousand jin]
[Glazed Treasure Body (Horizontal Cultivation of Innate)]
[Current Power Level: 107 years]
Single-arm strength of one hundred thousand jin!
Wei Fan couldn't help but be moved; such terrifying physical might could easily crush a True Realm Great Demon with a slap, and pairing this with martial techniques makes the destructive power even more fearsome.
This is excluding the killing power of supreme true qi!
"Let's test the defense!"
Wei Fan picked up the chief's saber, with a thought, he hid the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield that had been attached to his skin, and without hesitation struck himself with it.
With a cracking sound, the saber provided by the government office, though of decent quality, shattered against his body, falling to pieces.
As for his body, not a scratch or even a mark was left.
"A hundred years of power, totally worth it!"
He received a comprehensive enhancement.
Under introspection, his dantian was filled with purple supreme true qi, and his dantian had also doubled in capacity.
Meaning his dantian's current true qi capacity reached a terrifying level of a hundred years.
And according to Ning Xuan, those demon fiends of the Demon Suppression Bureau's so-called True Realm, their dantians can only hold five or six decades of power.
