Actually, when Wang Ye mastered the Golden Bell Shield, he was already able to control the movent of muscles and fascia through the operation of Qi and blood. In extre cases, he could even make certain parts swell several tis over, achieving ultimate defense power and muscle tension. For example, those who train in Iron Sand Palm can make their palms swell to more than twice their size for a short period by operating Qi and blood.
However, controlling the muscles and fascia is just the most superficial use. Now, the Bone Shrinking Skill that Wang Ye is practicing can be considered a truly deep thod of utilizing Qi and blood.
If the Golden Bell Shield is about rudely congesting the muscles to change the body shape,
then the Bone Shrinking Skill is about the subtle manipulation of bodily movents. It makes the muscles press against the 206 bones of the body like a large hand, allowing them to sh and twist like gears.
But the prerequisite for twisting bones is that the bones must be sufficiently flexible.
Wang Baoceng, the only successor of Bone Shrinking Skill in the world today, as a child, practiced by dislocating his limbs every day and shifting his internal organs. It is said that he had to endure the pain of having his bones broken and reassembled every day. It wasn’t until he could freely dislocate his bones using the thod of operation of Qi and blood without external help that he mastered the basic skills of Bone Shrinking Skill. From this, it can be seen that no matter how skilled the Inner Refining thod is, external training is always the foundation. And this so-called external training refers to hardening tendons and bones, tempering muscles, striking the skin, and so on.
Wang Ye naturally doesn’t need to break his bones every day to practice such a skill that has almost no practical combat function. He just needs to make certain critical ligants and bones flexible enough.
Moreover, his current bone density has already surpassed that of steel. To remove bones like Wang Baoceng, it would probably take a construction excavator pulling at steel and concrete to have a chance.
Wang Ye kept repeating those stretching ligant movents.
The skill level in the system panel was rapidly improving.
With the foundation of the Golden Bell Shield and Vajra Indestructible, practicing the Inner Refining thod of the Bone Shrinking Skill was quite easy for him. The training speed also increased by many tis.
It’s just that the basic skills of external training still had to be completed by himself.
Wang Ye stretched for a while and soon felt his face draining with pain,
The feeling of exerting oneself while relaxing the target muscle group really made him uncomfortable.
About two hours later, Wang Ye slowly stood up, looking at the Bone Shrinking Skill on the system panel that had already been upgraded to lv2, and nodded with satisfaction.
He gently swung his right arm, and the connection point of his shoulder and arm bone instantly dislocated with a slight "snap" sound. Yet his expression didn’t show a bit of pain.
After the joint dislocated, he began to operate Qi and blood to slowly move the tiny bones at the dislocation point. His collarbone slowly shifted, and the position of the acromion protruded two or three centiters outward. After more than ten seconds, the dislocated area connected back on its own.
Wang Ye slightly moved his right arm and didn’t feel any discomfort. On the surface, his body seed almost unchanged, but only he knew that his right arm was five centiters longer than before.
Approximately the length of half a palm longer than the left hand.
These five centiters may seem insignificant, but in actual combat or boxing, such a sudden change can catch the opponent off guard. This change can directly break the opponent’s preset safe distance, unexpectedly striking the opponent’s nose with a punch. That’s why in the boxing field, coaches emphasize the arm span data of students; the concept of "an inch longer is an inch stronger" also applies to hand-to-hand combat.
At the sa ti, it also ans that Wang Ye now has initial control over the deformation of his bones.
If he continues to improve, the degree of bone deformation can beco more exaggerated.
After testing the elongation, Wang Ye continued to test the shortening effect.
He took a deep breath and gently swung his arms, and both arms were instantly dislocated. His bones imdiately began to move swiftly, shortening the arm length by more than ten centiters. Due to the primary characteristic of the Bone Shrinking Skill being reduction, the reduction effect is often more pronounced.
For instance, when he controls the arm to lengthen, at most it can extend five centiters, but shortening can be more than ten centiters. This is because many gaps exist between bones by nature, maintained by ligants, muscles, and so cartilage, so reducing these gaps is not difficult.
After shortening his arms, Wang Ye continued to control the bones of his legs and spine.
Crack, crack, crack...
A series of crackling sounds like frying beans arose.
About half a minute later, Wang Ye’s body had significantly shrunk, with all the skeletal gaps completely closed, reducing his height from 1.9 ters to about 1.8 ters. His shoulder and hip width narrowed significantly, making him look like an ordinary adult male without an inverted triangle or muscular marks. But in reality, his weight was still over 200 kilograms; he just increased his body’s density further.
With this shrunken physique, wearing a mask and glasses might prevent anyone from recognizing him as Wang Ye.
Yet, after maintaining this form for two or three minutes, he started to feel slight soreness and stabbing pain in his muscles and ligants all over his body, as if sothing had rolled over him harshly.
