That very night, Yang Xiao organized a group training session for Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing and others, even going so far as to send for Chi Lin and the other two from Wildman Valley by spaceship to join in the collective cultivation.
Yang Xiao's requirents were simple: at least get everyone to break through to the Emperor Level.
Beyond the Emperor Level, it wasn't sothing that could be achieved through sheer hard work; talent was necessary, and he didn't force anyone.
That night, more than a dozen people were cultivating their Bone Forging under the stars, with each person wielding a specially made hamr to shatter the bones in various parts of their bodies, then drinking the Bone Forging Potion from the Genetic Store and practicing the Bone Forging Technique.
Qin Lu, Xingyun Piaoxue, and Huang Mi were playing chess in their room, shivering at the sounds of "crack, crack" as bones were being hamred outside, accompanied by cries of pain.
The three of them were currently stuck at the critical juncture of breaking through to the advanced King Level, unable to proceed because they had not overco the challenge of Bone Forging.
"Brother Yang is jealous of our leisurely days; he won't let us enjoy a good ga of chess," sighed one.
"Shall we go have a look? The pounding outside is relentless, with all the wailing; we too are losing our interest in chess," suggested another.
The three stepped out of their room and ca to the mining site nearby.
Under the bright starlight, they saw Gu Beifeng and a dozen others sitting on the ground practicing the Bone Forging Technique. Everyone was hamring away and issuing pained cries.
Yang Xiao was standing not too far away, seemingly cultivating so other technique.
Huang Mi had followed Yang Xiao for over a month learning the Divine Mountain Sword Skill and had completely mastered it. Yang Xiao hadn't taught him any other techniques since.
After cultivating for a while, Yang Xiao took a break and, seeing Qin Lu and the others watching, asked:
"What are you looking at?"
"Brother Yang, why so serious? You're still young. This Bone Forging Technique can be done slowly; you would complete it after a few years."
"How can I compare to you second-generation rich kids? You all have your families' backing, while we are the poor folk, with no connections or support in tis of trouble, reliant only on ourselves.
You guys have both the looks and the background, and yet you're still so diligent,
if we don't cultivate hard, we'll just be eliminated by you."
Xingyun Piaoxue glared at Yang Xiao and said,
"Are you making fun of us?"
Suddenly recalling sothing, he asked, puzzled:
"Brother Yang, I didn't see you practicing the Bone Forging Technique. What are you cultivating?"
"I've already achieved great success with Bone Forging. Now, I'm cultivating Yijin."
"Holy crap!"
Xingyun Piaoxue blurted out.
Qin Lu and Huang Mi also felt their hearts in disarray, staring resentfully at Yang Xiao.
We're still struggling with Bone Forging, and you've already started on Yijin?
"Brother Yang, are you kidding ? If you keep this up, you'll lose us as friends," Qin Lu said indignantly.
Huang Mi smirked slightly,
"You're so talented and hardworking; how are we to withstand this?"
Huang Mi spoke with a gentle and lodious voice, tickling the listener's ears.
Qin Lu once joked that if one only heard his voice without seeing him, they would hundred percent mistake Huang Mi for a girl.
Xingyun Piaoxue suddenly let out a mischievous laugh and said,
"Brother Yang, our brother Huang Mi is so alluring and delicate; why don't you just take him in?"
Yang Xiao burst into a laugh,
Huang Mi lifted a foot and kicked Xingyun Piaoxue in the butt.
Caught off guard, Xingyun Piaoxue rolled three or four ters forward, prompting laughter from both Qin Lu and Yang Xiao.
Huang Mi couldn't help but laugh behind her hand.
After her laughter subsided, Huang Mi suddenly said:
"Brother Yang, starting from tomorrow, I will also join you in practicing the Bone Forging technique. Practicing this Bone Forging technique alone is truly terrifying, but if there is a group of us, it won't be so bad.
No, starting from today, I'll practice with you all."
Having said that, Huang Mi took out a hamr from her Space Ring, walked a few steps forward, sat down about seven or eight ters away from Du Tianxing and the others, and with the hamr, she began to wildly pound her own arm. The sound of "crack, crack" could be heard, accompanied by Huang Mi's muffled groans of pain as she gritted her teeth.
Yang Xiao glanced at Qin Lu and Xingyun Piaoxue,
"Do you two want to join as well?"
With a resentful look at Huang Mi, they said:
"It's as if we'll be left behind if we don't improve as well."
"Alas, Yang Xiao and Huang Mi are the best at playing chess, so it's not fun for the two of us to play either. Better to just overco this difficult stage of Bone Forging. Maybe next ti my father sees that I've conquered Bone Forging, his eyes will pop out."
The two let out a sigh, sat down near Huang Mi, took out hamrs, and began hitting themselves.
With each strike, they shouted loudly,
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
...
So much so that Huang Mi nearby kept rolling her eyes at them.
Yang Xiao chuckled and shook his head.
There's a saying that you're influenced by the company you keep.
Yang Xiao didn't have a bad impression of the three of them; Qin Lu and Xingyun Piaoxue were sowhat mischievous scions, while Huang Mi was sowhat pampered, but otherwise, they were all decent.
Thanks to his unrelenting cultivation of Body Refinent and Bone Forging, Yang Xiao broke through to the advanced King Level just a month ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to catch Niu Gao Base's supervisor's silver whip in one go last ti.
Yang Xiao was now stuck at the threshold of breaking through to the Emperor Level, needing to cultivate the Yijin to great success.
Although the previous Yijin Scripture he cultivated was sowhat helpful, there were still differences after all. To cultivate Yijin to great success was not an easy task.
Gu Lei told Yang Xiao that for an ordinary person to break through to the great success stage of Yijin, it would take ten years of cultivation, and even those with good talent and diligence would need three to five years.
Yang Xiao sat down again and began to practice the Yijin Skill from the Genetic Transformation Technique.
Following the Yijin Transformation thod acquired from the Genetic Store, Yang Xiao felt sothing strange,
That is, this Yijin Skill, although modified in so ways from the Yijin Scripture of the Shaolin Temple, the essence and core principles remained the sa,
It is still about using the Genetic Evolution Energy within the body to unblock all ridians, allowing Evolution Energy to circulate throughout the body, gradually transforming the genetic makeup of the body.
Body Refinent works on muscles and skin, Bone Forging modifies bones, and the Yijin Transformation affects the body's full network of tendons.
Yang Xiao thought through the three stages in connection once again, and a light flashed across his mind,
"Holy crap, isn't this just like the Ancient Martial Cultivation on Earth?
Exercising muscles and bones, cultivating True Qi of Inner Strength, only turning the Ancient Martial Arts' Internal True Qi into Evolution Energy."
This made a lot of sense to Yang Xiao upon reflection.
He then thought,
"What would happen if I used the Ancient Martial Arts' True Qi to operate the Yijin Skill within the Genetic Transformation Technique?"
With that thought, Yang Xiao no longer hesitated. He imdiately began practicing the Internal Cultivation thods from the Divine Mountain Sect, gathering a stream of True Qi inside his body, then according to the Yijin cultivation thod from the Genetic Transformation Technique, he slowly mobilized this Qi to flow through his body's ridians.
In the past, when Yang Xiao practiced the Yijin Scripture, he used True Qi to unblock the ridians, but now he is using True Qi to modify the ridians throughout his body.
As the True Qi flowed through a section of ridians, Yang Xiao gradually felt a strong, electrifying current slowly spreading through his ridians. The feeling was as if millions of ants were squirming nonstop, gnawing within his veins, an extrely uncomfortable sensation.
Yang Xiao could only endure for about fifteen minutes, in such pain that he felt like dying, his body drenched in sweat and his face pale.
