My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 198 - 197: Rapid Cultivation

A week’s time is ample for preparing a prison break, but much too short for cultivation.

Lv Bai wasted no time, immediately opening the Body Forging Technique.

The preface was only two pages.

After reading, Lv Bai had a rudimentary understanding of this cultivation system.

In the worldview of this Death Arena, those inhuman powerhouses were a reasonable existence.

After all, in this world, everyone has a Dantian in their body, capable of nurturing Inner Strength through the correct methods.

Successfully nurturing Inner Strength means embarking on the path of a Martial Artist. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Unfortunately, the human Dantian cannot be seen or touched and can only be sensed personally.

But then again, sensing is very abstract, differing for everyone, with no quantifiable standard.

Some people manage to sense the existence of Inner Strength within two or three days of practicing the Body Forging Technique.

While others, no matter how exquisite their methods, may never even begin in a lifetime.

This first step has such high Talent requirements, and many are stuck, unable to enter the door.

But if you can nurture Inner Strength, it’s remarkable.

This Inner Strength is not just used to increase your strength.

By then, you can officially start Body Refining.

It is called the Body Forging Technique because Inner Strength can temper a Martial Artist’s body, enhancing their physical qualities comprehensively.

After fully tempering the body with Inner Strength, resisting bullets like Biao and living two to three hundred years old becomes easy.

Is there a limit to using Inner Strength for Body Tempering?

The answer is yes.

After entry, as long as you are willing to spend the time, all Martial Artists can use Inner Strength to temper their entire body.

At that time, a new problem emerges.

Martial Artists realize that their Inner Strength doesn’t differ much from others in intensity.

Everyone has tempered their whole body, and their physical qualities are almost the same.

There may be slight individual variations, but basically, they are on the same level.

This method of Body Forging, to some extent, is closer to the Health Cultivation Technique, with an extremely harsh entry requirement at most.

However, geniuses exist everywhere.

Gradually, some Martial Artists discovered that Inner Strength could also temper Inner Strength.

After a long period of experimentation and trial, it was confirmed that precise compression of Inner Strength indeed raises its level.

From that moment, this cultivation system fully took shape.

Simply put, the so-called cultivation polishes the method of controlling Inner Strength and the skill of applying Inner Strength.

From Ming Jin to Dark Force, eventually applying force becomes instinctual.

It’s why the grading of this cultivation system is currently still very vague.

There are only three general levels: Acquired Martial Artist, Innate Martial Artist, and Grandmaster, corresponding to the high level of force exertion.

"Dantian, huh?"

Lv Bai closed his eyes thoughtfully, sensing his Inner Strength according to the method described in the Body Forging Technique.

He wasn’t worried about being unable to become a Martial Artist.

After three Death Arena duels, his Talent reached just over a hundred.

With an average person’s Talent around five points, a hundred points may not be unique but is certainly a rare Talent in martial arts.

Indeed, this was the case.

Lv Bai hadn’t even fully calmed himself, yet despite the constant noise from the next room, he easily sensed a warm glow at his chest, like morning mist.

The time taken for Inner Strength sensing, even in such adverse conditions, would shock those aware of the difficulty of entering the Martial Artist path.

"Next, is it Body Refining?"

Lv Bai sat cross-legged.

He harnessed energy, gradually enlarging the Inner Strength in his Dantian, directing it throughout his body.

However, despite half an hour passing, finishing the tempering of a single finger seemed far off.

Instead, the energy consumption made him feel intensely hungry.

Inner Power Body Tempering is a slow process.

But Lv Bai feared he didn’t have the time.

Was there a better choice?

He hesitated briefly, then began attempting to compress the Inner Strength in his Dantian according to the Martial Canon method.

The orthodox cultivation method involves sensing Inner Strength, then spending enough time to fully temper the entire body with it.

Only when the body’s qualities are maxed out for the current stage, and the Inner Strength is familiarized, do they attempt to compress it.

Since compression of Inner Strength carries dangers, failing at breaking through the bottleneck nine times out of ten is considered a high success rate.

It’s like pressing a spring down until it flattens, with any slight mistake causing a rebound.

Lacking sufficient physical quality makes it impossible to withstand the violent backlash of Inner Strength.

Moreover, even if Inner Strength is compressed to a Grandmaster level, time must still be spent tempering the body.

Prematurely refining force carries high risk, with benefits being exceptionally few.

It only slightly enhances Inner Strength’s might, easily causing self-injury if the body isn’t robust enough before action.

Under such circumstances, Lv Bai’s attempt to compress force right after sensing Inner Strength can be called reckless.

But to be honest, Lv Bai didn’t perceive himself as reckless in this behavior.

In his mind, this peculiar energy, Inner Strength, seemed quite docile under his control, akin to moving an arm at will.

The fist-sized cluster of Inner Strength within him was effortlessly shaped by him.

Without assurance, he wouldn’t attempt it so easily.

He focused, controlling Inner Strength to gather and compress.

Compress, compress... and compress further.

Who knows how long passed.

Drip~

Lv Bai seemingly heard the illusory sound of a droplet falling.

The mist-like Inner Strength slowly transitioned from gas to liquid.

Rustle~

It was like a rain fell in his Dantian, leaving his mind immensely refreshed.

"Ming Jin, huh? Doesn’t seem too hard..."

Lv Bai stopped to catch his breath briefly, then closed his eyes again to continue compressing the Inner Strength.

Next, he only needed to turn the liquid Inner Strength in his Dantian into a solid state to be done.

However, at this critical moment, someone inevitably came to disrupt.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The door was pounded rudely, and thanks to the poor soundproofing, Lv Bai clearly heard the swearing from outside his room.

"White Shark Gang business, outsiders keep away!"

"You bastard, open up!"

"I almost got fooled by you, damn it, actually thought you had some background, and you’ve just arrived at Chikan Bay today."

"Open up quickly, your room’s light is on, stop pretending to be mute!"
