"Then who did this … and who has the power to destroy the powerful Transformation Sect in one fell swoop?" Li Shan asked in a low voice, frowning as well.
No matter how he looked at it, there was something strange about this matter.
"Forget it, let's not think about this first. With you and me working together and the three Vajras, even if something happens, we can go anywhere in the world. At most, we'll escape from Mountain-Edge City and go to the Central Plains!" Zhang Yuandong waved his hand.
"Big brother Dong is right." Li Shan also smiled.
"Alright, men, bring the wine! Today, we brothers shall drink to our heart's content! "Zhang Yuandong ordered loudly.
Strangely, it was silent outside the garden. No one responded.
"Men!?" Zhang Yuandong shouted again. "Where did all the guards go!?" He frowned.
But it was still silent outside.
Zhang Yuandong and Li Shan's expressions turned solemn.
"I've stationed three teams of experts on patrol outside. It's impossible that they didn't hear anything," Zhang Yuandong said in a low voice.
"Big Brother, I'll go take a look," Li Shan unsheathed the huge axe on his back and carefully approached the entrance of the courtyard.
At night, the yellow lanterns hanging at the entrance of the garden swayed in the wind, occasionally knocking against the walls with a light clatter.
Li Shan walked out of the garden and looked left and right. It was deserted outside. The walkways on both sides were empty, with not a single person in sight.
"Where did those bastards go!?" He cursed in a low voice.
Turning back, he looked in the direction of his big brother.
"Eh?" Zhang Yuandong, who was just in the garden, had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Shan's heart tightened. He knew he was in trouble.
"Big Brother!" He called out.
"Brother Dong!?"
No one answered.
Returning to where the two of them stood, he lowered his head and searched for Zhang Yuandong's footprints on the ground.
On the sandy ground, there was a clear pair of familiar footprints. They were Zhang Yuandong's.
Li Shan perked up. Seeing the footprints, he turned around and walked towards the back. He hurriedly followed the footprints, one step at a time.
Pairs of footprints extended forward. Li Shan followed step by step, his hand gripping the battle axe. He suppressed his breathing and the sound of his footsteps to a minimum.
As he walked, his gaze suddenly stopped.
A pair of feet suddenly appeared in his line of sight. It was a pair of delicate, slender feet wearing red cloth shoes.
The man was facing him with his feet together, as if he was standing right in front of him and looking at him.
"This …" Beads of sweat appeared on Li Shan's forehead as he slowly raised his head.
Hu!
The red figure flashed, and the garden became empty again. Li Shan's figure also disappeared without a trace.
…
Whoosh …!
Whoosh …!
Whoosh …!
In the courtyard, Lu Sheng's upper body was naked. Sweat was dripping down his body like a broken thread. His breathing was like a bellows, pulling at it violently, causing the entire courtyard to tremble slightly.
Compared to before, his body had grown bigger and more muscular. Standing on the spot, he looked like a small mountain. Just the heat emitted from his skin made people feel like they were standing next to a stove.
The Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique was initiated. Lu Sheng had used a large amount of medicinal soup and the Golden Fragrance Ointment to nourish himself. In addition to his own solid foundation, he had finally thoroughly initiated this unique hard body technique with the ability to rebound two hours ago.
At this moment, he was more than two meters tall. The muscles on his body were so thick that even his arms were almost as thick as a person's waist. His shoulders and arms were densely packed with muscles like that of a small mouse. It was also as if he had many tumors and lumps, covered with gray veins.
Lu Sheng sat in the middle of the courtyard. His entire body seemed to be filled with a fierce aura. Even his breath was boiling hot, like a mountain of flesh.
"Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique … Initiated … Next, it's time to directly modify and upgrade it." After resting for a while, Lu Sheng caught his breath and stood up.
The reason why he was so tired was because one of the training steps of the Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique was to use one's own strength to hit the various muscles on the body according to a specific frequency, gradually forming vibrations to achieve the effect of training the internal organs and muscles.
Because he was using his own strength to fight against himself, even Lu Sheng was unbearably tired.
"But at least I've initiated it." He felt a trace of numbness slowly swimming in his body, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
"The more hard body skills I stack, the bigger my body seems to be … But … I can feel that this isn't the limit. This isn't the most perfect state for the Yin and Yang transition. There will definitely be changes in the future. " Lu Sheng had practiced many hard body skills, from the initial Bear-Wrestling Hand to Nine Lakes Steel Chains Skill, Golden Veil Skill, and now Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique. This was the fourth hard body skill, and the first three had all reached the realm of Full Mastery.
This was an unimaginably terrifying achievement for any martial artist. One had to know that hard body skills required many years of tempering to achieve a breakthrough.
Take Bear-Wrestling Hand for example. Although it was also a Strength Proficiency hard body skill, its effects were very low, on the same level as Wind Blade. But even this kind of hard body skill required at least twenty years of hard work to reach Full Mastery.
As for Nine Lakes Steel Chains Skill, it required thirty years of hard work to reach Full Mastery. By the time it reached the highest realm, one would already be old.
As for Golden Veil Skill, it was slightly better, but it still required twenty years of hard work.
Every one of these hard body skills was a path that only those with great willpower and perseverance would choose. But Lu Sheng had actually piled all of these hard body skills on his body in one fell swoop. This was something that no one had ever done since ancient times.
No one knew what kind of effect it would have.
"Let's begin … Deep Blue." Without delay, Lu Sheng returned to the sanctuary and took out the Modifier.
A light blue frame appeared. At the top and bottom, a new frame for Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique appeared.
'Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique: Initiated. Special Effect: Slight Rebound. Level One Strength Enhancement. '
'Upgrade Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique to Level One,' Lu Sheng muttered.
This hard body skill had three realms. According to the records of Full Mastery, it could rebound most blunt weapons of the same Strength Proficiency level. It could rebound fifty percent of the opponent's strength. The only thing it was afraid of was an abnormally sharp divine weapon piercing through the surface.
Soon, Lu Sheng felt the inner Qi of Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill vanish rapidly. His own body felt like it was being inflated, slowly swelling with pain.
The frame blurred. When it reappeared, it had changed to Level One of Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique. Special Effect: Level One Rebound and Level One Strength Enhancement.
The swelling pain all over his body grew more and more distinct.
'Could it be that my body is reaching its limit?' Lu Sheng was bewildered. But he clearly felt that he could still improve. Different from the obvious feeling of his inner Qi reaching its limit, this swelling pain was more a result of his body's inability to adapt to the new changes.
In the courtyard, Lu Sheng's body was slowly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. He did not grow any taller, but the increase was mainly in the muscles all over his body!
His muscles bulged violently, like tumors on the roots of an old tree. They twisted and contorted, densely packed all over Lu Sheng's body, as if he was wearing a layer of flesh armor.
'Let's try again!' Lu Sheng ignored the changes in his body. How could he pursue power without paying a price? It was just a change in his body size. He could train it back in the future.
'Upgrade Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique to Level Two!' he thought again.
"Hiss."
The Modifier blurred for a moment, and Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique quickly became clear again.
'Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique: Level Two. Special Effect (s): Level Two Recoil, Level Two Strength Enhancement. Level One Defense Enhancement. '
This hard body skill seemed to be stronger than the previous ones. There were actually three special effects.
Before Lu Sheng could see the changes clearly, he felt the muscles in his chest rapidly bulging. At the same time, all the weak points of his body, including his lower body, throat, eyelids and ears, were slowly covered with a layer of something like skin.
He raised his hand to touch his throat. There was a layer of hard and tough membrane on the surface of his skin. He touched his eyelids. They had also become extremely tough. As long as he closed his eyes, he could feel a layer of heat flowing through his body into his eyelids, strengthening the hardness and tenacity there.
Although this was not as strong as the defense of other parts of his body, it was still much safer than an ordinary eyelid.
'In this way, my weakness is only the seven apertures … This change … seems to be brought about by Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique, but in reality, it should be because I've stacked too many hard body skills. The quantitative change has led to a qualitative change.' Lu Sheng felt that the current him could definitely resist the corrosion of Bind.
The toughness of his body was many times stronger than before!
'Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill has run out of inner Qi, but there's still Yin Qi that can be used. I can use it all to upgrade it.' Lu Sheng looked at the last line on the Modifier.
He quickly pressed the button behind Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique.
"Hiss …"
This time, the Modifier blurred for a full five breaths before it slowly recovered.
Compared to the other hard body skills, the newly appeared Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique had only minor changes.
'Twilight Dantian Inflating Technique: Level Three. Special Effect: Level Three Recoil, Level Three Strength Enhancement, Level Two Defense Enhancement.'
However, Lu Sheng felt as if he had suddenly broken through an inexplicable barrier.
"Crack!"
He seemed to hear something shattering in his body, emitting a sound like glass.
He stretched out his hand and looked at his palm, which was even larger than a bear's paw. The joints on it were thick, and the muscles were contorted and covered with gray lines. It did not look like a human's hand, but more like the claw of some ferocious beast or monster. It even reminded him of the dinosaurs in the movies he had seen before.
From the looks of it, his palm was more or less the same as the claws of those powerful creatures.
'This is a qualitative change …' Lu Sheng closed his eyes. He felt as if his body had been freed from some kind of shackles. A faint feeling of freedom welled up in his heart.
Standing in the courtyard, he did not move for a long time.
"Thud … Thud … Thud …"
Suddenly, a strange, contorted sound, like mud being stirred, came from his body.
At night, under the moonlight, Lu Sheng's massive body actually began to shrink bit by bit.
His strong, contorted muscles seemed to be compressed by some kind of great force, forcefully squeezing onto Lu Sheng's body.
His huge body, like a bone shrinking skill, quickly shrunk from a behemoth of nearly two and a half meters into a normal human's height.
Although he was still somewhat strong and looked very sturdy, he no longer gave off the inhuman feeling of a mountain of flesh.
It was as if a huge lump of meat had been forcefully squeezed into a small piece.
After standing in the middle of the courtyard for a long time, Lu Sheng opened his eyes. Looking at his skinny hands, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Bam!!"
He suddenly clenched his palms, and his five fingers instantly squeezed the air, producing a muffled explosion that sounded like thunder.
Looking at his metal-like hands, feeling the terrifying power in his body that was far, far stronger than before, Lu Sheng finally could not hold it in any longer. He threw his head back and laughed maniacally.
