In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Muscle Tempering Stage, Achieved!

But at this moment, he could only continuously perform the movements.

Until the instant the last movement of the entire set was completed, his body rumbled again, but this time, it wasn’t a surge of heat, but an indescribable tingling sensation that swept from the top of his head all the way down, his muscles seemed to be expanding wildly, and his entire body felt as if it had suddenly lost six or seven tenths of its weight.

He knew.

Muscle Tempering Stage, achieved!

However, he didn’t stop, but continued to cultivate. At this time, every movement had a feeling that was completely different from before. Besides the fact that his strength was still increasing rapidly, he was also quickly grasping all the changes after the breakthrough.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Until the heat flow finally slowed down and decreased, and when he stopped moving, he opened his mouth and exhaled, a cloud of visible turbid air shot out, reaching two or three meters away before slowly dissipating.

“This is the Muscle Tempering Stage.”

Shen Xing’s body was already quite tired, but his spirit was radiant.

He bent down, placed his hand on the heavy edge of the bed, and with just a light lift, he easily lifted the entire several-hundred-pound bed!

The Muscle Tempering Stage is also called the “Divine Strength Stage” by some people.

If the Skin Tempering Stage was just a preliminary transcendence of human limits, then the Muscle Tempering Stage was a complete transcendence of the original performance of carbon-based life in a non-Yuan Qi environment. Such strength would be impossible for a mammal of his physique in a non-Yuan Qi environment.

In ancient times, he would be an unparalleled fierce general capable of fighting against a hundred, or even a thousand!

However, for the Martial Path, this was just the second stage of the first realm, the Body Tempering Stage.

“I really wonder what the demeanor of those at the Innate Realm, or even stronger Martial Path experts, would be like.” Shen Xing’s yearning and anticipation for the Martial Path became more and more solid.

Unlike the people who were born and raised in this era, Shen Xing, who possessed the memories and personality of his previous life, cherished this opportunity for transcendence especially!

This was a miracle that he could not have obtained in his previous life, no matter how much money or power he had!

However, he glanced at the time and found that it was already nine o’clock in the morning.

He had been too engrossed in his cultivation yesterday, so much so that even the alarm clock hadn’t been able to interrupt him.

“I remember, there seems to be a bet today.” Shen Xing suddenly remembered, but he just smiled slightly, not taking it to heart.

At the beginning, he had only initiated the bet to ensure that he could obtain this gravity device. Now that he had jumped from the mid-Skin Tempering Stage to the Muscle Tempering Stage in just a week, that bet was indeed not worth worrying about.

Therefore, he just went through his usual routine of washing up and headed towards the school.

But at this time, the school was not so peaceful.

Every Monday, it was time for the class to test their punch strength progress and compete for the right to use the gravity device for the next week. Some early-arriving students had already started the test, including Tan Feihong, who had made a bet with Shen Xing.

“364 kilograms!” Teacher Dai, who hadn’t appeared for a week, was also standing next to the punch strength testing machine at this time. She glanced at Tan Feihong’s data, her expression full of admiration, “Not bad, you’re almost at the peak of the Skin Tempering Stage. When you reach the peak, don’t forget to come find me.”

“Yes!” Tan Feihong clearly knew something, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

But he looked around and didn’t see that arrogant freshman from last week, only Hu An.

He directly shouted, “Hu An, where’s your friend? He wouldn’t be too scared to come, would he?”

“Just wait a little longer.” Hu An, seeing that many students were gathering around, and it seemed like there would be another commotion, walked directly in front of Teacher Dai, “I’ll go next.”

Then, he punched the testing machine.

Bang!

A muffled impact sounded, and the numbers were displayed directly on the huge screen.

【389 kilograms】

“You…”

Not to mention the other students, even Tan Feihong, who was firmly in the top three of the class, had a sudden change in his expression.

This was data close to the limit of the Skin Tempering Stage!

Although it was said that punch strength couldn’t completely reflect one’s realm, even if someone had naturally large bones and strong muscles, their punch strength in the Skin Tempering Stage rarely exceeded 450 kilograms.

Most people’s punch strength at their limit was around 400 kilograms.

◈◈◈

“How could you have improved so quickly!” Tan Feihong still asked somewhat unwillingly, but his voice had involuntarily become much softer.

He had entered the Skin Tempering Class two days earlier than Hu An, but now, Hu An had surpassed him by at least a week’s progress.

This comparison made the difference even more obvious.

The other students also didn’t dare to say anything. Clearly, the strongest in the class had already emerged.

“Compared to Ah Xing, my progress is far from fast.” Hu An glanced at him and said truthfully.

After trying the pill that Ah Xing had given him yesterday, he had a certain understanding of one of the reasons why his best friend was progressing so quickly.

But even so, being able to reach this step in such a short period of time was definitely not something that could be achieved by relying on pills alone.

Effort, talent… it seemed that he had to surpass him in every aspect.

But his words made Tan Feihong’s face turn red.

“No matter what, he can’t possibly surpass me in punch strength!” He obviously couldn’t believe such a thing.

He could afford to lose twenty-five basic Yuan liquids, but he simply couldn’t accept being surpassed again and again from behind!

Hu An just remained silent, not responding at all.

He knew that Shen Xing had gone back to break through to the Muscle Tempering Stage yesterday!

This bet?

No need to care.

Watching Tan Feihong being directly ignored, clenching his fists alone, his face flushed red, but he could only remain silent, the other students dared not say anything more.

The Martial Academy was like this.

Whoever progressed faster, whoever was stronger, would gain status!

However, until almost everyone had finished testing, Shen Xing still hadn’t appeared.

Tan Feihong’s tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

“It seems he’s really too scared to come.” Tan Feihong seemed to have regained his confidence. He turned his head to look at Hu An, “This time, I’ll let you take the lead, but I’ll catch up soon. You…”

“He’s here, he’s here.” A voice abruptly interrupted his words. Shen Xing ran in from outside the training room, his hair all swept back, clearly having run over at top speed.

“Ah Xing.” Hu An smiled and went to meet him, “How was it?”

“Is there even a need to ask? Of course, there’s no problem.” Shen Xing knew he was asking about the breakthrough, and he looked smug, “How could I possibly fail?”

“That’s good!”

Hu An knew that his best friend was truly about to soar.

Muscle Tempering was just the beginning.

After all, among the freshmen of the same year, the strongest were still only at the Muscle Tempering Stage.

Shen Xing had already caught up to the first tier of freshmen in the school!

But just as Hu An was about to ask something, Tan Feihong, who was standing to the side, seemed to be unable to endure being ignored any longer.

“You’re really good at talking big.” He walked directly over, staring intently at Shen Xing, “The teacher is right there, go test it, let me see how you’re going to win over me with your ‘no problem’.”

“Huh?” Shen Xing was a little confused.

Was he saying that winning over him was no problem?

He was saying that breaking through to the Muscle Tempering Stage was no problem!
