Chapter 18

The whole banquet was said to be a celebration for Chen Yu, but the real protagonist was Chen Ying'er.

At the banquet.

The senior members of the clan were full of admiration for Chen Ying'er, and their words were full of flattery.

Chen Ying'er was not a modest person, and she often used a "preaching" tone to talk to Chen Yu, her "little cousin".

Even a clay figurine had a temper.

Chen Yu was not a clay figurine, and he was not a broad-minded person who would repay kindness with enmity. Naturally, he was a little unhappy.

"Come, come, Chen Yu! You are the protagonist of the banquet! Congratulations to the Chen family, another person has established a foothold in the Sect... "

The head of the clan, Chen Tianwei, was a shrewd old man, and he took the lead to propose a toast to ease Chen Yu's embarrassment.

...

Late at night.

Chen Yu and his parents returned to their courtyard.

"Yu, don't take what happened at the banquet to heart. Ying Er has a middle-grade spirit body, and she is a disciple of an elder in the Sect. She has a bright future ahead of her. It is normal for the elders to chase after her, and your uncle to spoil her. "

His mother, Liu Ming, advised.

"It is indeed normal."

Chen Yu smiled bitterly. After the banquet, he did not really take it to heart. After all, Chen Ying'er was also his cousin.

Speaking of the fickleness of the world, the fickleness of human nature, Chen Yu had seen too much in the Sect.

However, now that Chen Yu had returned to the clan, he had a feeling of "home", which made him feel a certain contrast with reality.

At this moment.

The fifteen-year-old Chen Yu finally understood.

Whether it was in the Sect, within the clan, or outside, the principle of respect for the strong was the same.

"It is good that you understand this. I hope you and Ying Er can live in harmony... "

Chen Tiande smiled faintly.

...

Back in the wing room.

Chen Yu was quiet for a while before he continued to circulate the "Cloudfiend Heart Sutra", his inner breath flowing through his meridians.

The cultivation of mental cultivation methods was about the accumulation of time and effort.

Cultivating for two to four hours a day was enough. Too much was not beneficial.

Two hours later.

Chen Yu circulated the "Cloudfiend Heart Sutra" a few times and could not help sighing.

In terms of mental cultivation methods and inner breathing, his progress was sparse and ordinary. It was far from his stunning performance in the area of physical skills.

I can imagine.

Geniuses like Chen Ying'er and Yuefeng, in terms of cultivation efficiency and progress, would definitely far surpass Chen Yu.

Chen Yu couldn't help but recall the red-faced old man's evaluation of him.

At that time, the Sect's Elder praised him, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Why don't I try the Bronze Statue Skill?"

Chen Yu recalled the unorthodox cultivation technique recommended by the red-faced elder.

Because the "Bronze Statue Skill" did not have a method to open meridians, Chen Yu had temporarily abandoned it.

This time, Chen Yu looked at the "Bronze Statue Skill" again and saw the description.

After reading it carefully, Chen Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

First.

As an ancient body cultivation technique, the "Bronze Statue Skill" was specifically for the cultivation of "physical skills". This was very suitable for his talent.

Secondly.

The effects of the "Bronze Statue Skill" were indeed not bad. It could greatly increase one's physique, strength, and especially defense!

When the "Bronze Statue Skill" was practiced to the large success stage, one's body would be like a bronze statue, invulnerable to weapons and extremely strong.

The first half of the "Bronze Statue Skill" was divided into three levels: "Bronze Skin", "Bronze Tendons", and "Bronze Bones", which corresponded to the Body Forging Stage, Meridian Opening Stage, and Viscera Training Stage.

According to the description.

If Chen Yu could cultivate to the "Bronze Skin" level, he could basically ignore the attacks of the Body Forging Stage, including the slashes of normal swords.

If he could cultivate to the "Bronze Skin" level, he could resist the attacks of the Meridian Opening Stage. He could even rely on his strong physique to dominate the Meridian Opening Stage, like a beast in human form.

In terms of strength, the "Bronze Statue Skill" was naturally not something to be picky about.

However. As an unorthodox cultivation technique, it had very high requirements for physique and willpower. In terms of training time and difficulty, it was far above the "Cloud Fiend Fist" and other martial arts.

"Eh! A unique body cultivation technique … "Bronze Statue Body Forging Technique"? "

Chen Yu found a specialized body cultivation technique in the "Bronze Statue Skill" and his eyes lit up.

The "Bronze Statue Body Forging Technique" used the various body movements of the various parts of the body to train and stimulate the body.

These movements included kneading, pinching, bending, knocking, twisting, and more than ten other methods.

It targeted every tiny part of the body, including muscles of all sizes, bones of all parts of the body, joints, and acupuncture points.

Just by looking at the description, Chen Yu's eyes widened. He had a new understanding of the human body.

He never thought that the human body would have so many muscles, bones, joints, and countless acupuncture points.

"This" Bronze Statue Skill "basically treats the human body as' smelting iron '. Every part of the body is tempered and stimulated thousands of times, finally creating a living' bronze statue body '."

Chen Yu roughly understood the theory.

Ordinary people would not be able to endure this training method. Just the pain alone was not something that ordinary people could endure.

Among these, there were some external environments such as furnaces, ice, waterfalls, and giant waves to train the body. This was enough to scare off a large number of people.

For ordinary people, even if they had enough willpower and patience, they would still be far from success.

This was because some of the more difficult movements in the body forging technique had very strict requirements for physique. For an ordinary person's physique, they might need ten days to half a month to complete one of the small movements.

Hu ~

Chen Yu let out a breath. He finally understood why there was a layer of dust on the book when he took it out.

However, the difficulty of this martial art did not scare him.

That night, Chen Yu began to train the "Bronze Statue Body Forging Technique".

In the room.

One after another, Chen Yu performed both meticulous and difficult movements.

Some of the body-forging movements required him to hit the key parts of the body, or even to twist and knead them.

However.

These movements did not pose a problem for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's physique could no longer be measured by common sense. He could bend and bend as he wished.

Some of the "hitting" body-forging movements were nothing to him. Perhaps it was because of his special physique, the pain during the training process was much lower than expected.

If.

An ordinary person could barely achieve forty to fifty points in these body-forging movements, then Chen Yu could achieve a hundred and twenty points, exceeding the requirements of the body-forging technique.

Of course, one night was not enough for him to finish the complicated "Bronze Statue Body Forging Technique".

That night, Chen Yu mainly focused on his arms.

The next morning.

Raising his arms, Chen Yu noticed that his skin and flesh were covered in a faint layer of lustrous yellow. They were as hard as iron.

"So fast?"

Chen Yu was a little surprised.

In just one night, his arms already had some characteristics of the "Bronze Skin" level.

Based on Chen Yu's estimations, if an early-stage Body Tempering expert's punches and kicks landed on Chen Yu's arms, it would be no different from kicking a wall.

The rapid progress of the "Bronze Statue Technique" made Chen Yu surprised and excited.

He thought about it carefully. Maybe it was because his physique had reached a new height after fusing with the mysterious heart.

The "Bronze Skin" level was still considered "low-end" for Chen Yu's current physique.

Of course, Chen Yu's powerful physique, freakish recovery ability, and the difficulty of completing those body tempering techniques were also important reasons.

In the following days.

Chen Yu decided to focus on cultivating the "Bronze Statue Technique". Every day, other than the fixed movement of internal energy and a little rest, he spent most of his time training his body.

In the blink of an eye, three to four days had passed.

Chen Yu's entire body had been tempered by the "Bronze Statue Body Tempering Technique".

According to the progress of an ordinary person, it would take at least a few months to a year and a half to complete a full body tempering process, and the results would definitely be far inferior to Chen Yu's.

That night.

Currently, Chen Yu only wore a pair of underpants, revealing his bronze-yellow skin.

Hu ~

When he activated the "Bronze Statue Technique", his skin and flesh had a faint bronze glow, and it expanded at an astonishing speed, making him look like a bronze man.

"This is the" Bronze Skin Body "?"

Chen Yu had a look of surprise on his face as he took out an ordinary knife.

Ding!

With the strength of an ordinary body-tempering cultivator, the knife cut the skin on his arm, but there was a crisp sound, and the latter was unharmed.

"Haha, at least I've achieved the" Bronze Skin "level."

Chen Yu grinned.

The "Bronze Skin" level was still the most superficial layer of skin and flesh, the "Bronze Tendons" was a deeper layer of muscles, and the final "Bronze Bones" was a tempering that went deep into the bone marrow.

Right now, Chen Yu's "Bronze Skin Body" was at least at the initial stage.

Because Chen Yu's physique was strong enough, the increase in strength was only a little. What increased the most was his body's defense!

…

The next morning, Chen Yu found his father, Chen Tiande.

"Father, I'm currently practicing a body-tempering technique, and I need to buy some medicinal ingredients to temper my body."

Chen Yu said.

The cultivation of the "Bronze Statue Technique" did not only rely on oneself, but also external resources.

Among them, the Body Tempering Liquid was a supplementary method. The "Bronze Statue Technique" introduced a few related prescriptions, from low to high.

"Oh?"

Chen's father took the two body-tempering prescriptions.

These two prescriptions were of the lower end in the "Bronze Statue Technique".

The lowest one was called the "Commoner's Prescription", and it was a precious medicinal ingredient that could be bought with money in the secular world.

The other one needed some rare spiritual ingredients, and it might cost primeval stones to buy.

"The first prescription is fine. The second one might need some primeval stones, so I'll ask your uncle for it. Now that you've reached the Meridian Opening Realm, the family should give you some resources. "

Chen's father nodded and left with the prescriptions.

As for Chen Yu, he continued to practice the "Bronze Statue Technique" with the advantage of his physique.

Three days later.

Chen Yu's "Bronze Statue Technique" had successfully reached the "Bronze Skin Xiaocheng" level!

[Bronze Skin Xiaocheng]: Chen Yu's body's defense had greatly increased, and his strength had also increased.

At this level, normal attacks below the Meridian Opening Realm would probably be like tickles to Chen Yu.

At this moment.

Chen Yu felt that the speed of his body tempering technique had slowed down if he relied solely on himself.

Fortunately.

Chen's father had already gathered the ingredients for the body-tempering potion.

But to Chen Yu's disappointment, Chen's father had only brought the "Commoner's Prescription", the kind that could be bought with money.

According to the "Bronze Statue Technique", this prescription had the worst effect.

"Yu, I've only gathered the ingredients for the first prescription. The second one requires primeval stones, and your uncle said that the family's finances are tight, so I need to think about it. "

Chen's father said with a guilty expression.

He had originally thought that the family would give Chen Yu some resources now that he had reached the Meridian Opening Realm.

In the end, the family head, Chen Tianwei, had rejected it.

The reason was that Chen Ying 'er might be trying to reach the Organs Refinement stage after returning to the sect, so the family's resources were all going to her.
