I Can Merge Techniques-Chapter 100 - 95: Breakthrough to the Bone Marrow Forging Realm, Second Limit Break of the Twelve Forms Fist
The entire fish market was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, watching the sudden scene unfold in utter disbelief.
The Hong Family father and son, who had been helping each other home, forgot their injuries. Their jaws dropped as they stared dumbly at the young man brutally beating the Blood Saber Sect ruffian.
Master Hong said tremblingly, "Zhen, that person... why does he look so familiar?"
He was getting on in years, and at this distance, he really couldn’t see clearly. He just felt that the person fighting looked familiar, but he couldn’t recall who it was.
"Dad, that’s Chu Fan," Hong Zhen whispered. "The same Chu Fan who learned to fish from you before. I was just talking to him!"
Master Hong fell silent.
’Is that really the same Chu Fan, the timid little apprentice from two years ago who would just take any beating or scolding we gave him?’
It had only been two months... how could he...
The old fishermen nearby also recognized Chu Fan. One by one, their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
BANG!
As everyone watched, Chu Fan smashed a final, vicious punch into the base of Qi Mountain’s ear.
Qi Mountain was knocked out cold, collapsing to the ground and twitching unconsciously.
Chu Fan didn’t take his life.
Killing him directly would have been letting him off too easy!
An evil man like him deserved to spend the rest of his life bedridden, suffering endlessly!
A few days ago on Xingning Street, Chu Fan had also severely injured several members of the Blood Saber Sect, but he had never been this brutal.
In the end, it was the events from those two years that had dredged up the hatred hidden in the depths of his heart.
Just then, figures flickered in the small mountain village.
Several figures rushed quickly in their direction!
Chu Fan flicked the blood from his hands and turned around, his face expressionless. Amid countless gazes of shock, fear, and disbelief, he sprinted into the distance, vanishing into the dense jungle in an instant.
Behind him, three members of the Blood Saber Sect drew their curved sabers and gave chase!
But how could their speed possibly match Chu Fan’s?
In just a few moments, Chu Fan had vanished from their sight without a trace.
...
「Two days later.」
[Cultivation: Third Stage of Foundation Establishment, Bone Marrow Forging 99%]
[Skill: Twelve Forms Fist (First Limit Break (2996/3000) (Trait: Vajra Iron Fist)]
Chu Fan, who was practicing the Twelve Forms Fist in his courtyard, glanced at the panel and his movements grew even faster.
For a moment, the wind from his fists howled, and sand and stones flew about the courtyard!
"Step forward like a plow, land your feet as if they’re taking root!"
"Hands and feet arrive together, striking instantly, every inch counts!"
"When you punch, be like a steel file scraping iron!"
"When you retract your fist, be like a hook pulling a stone!"
Although Chu Fan had not yet broken through the five gates of Foundation Establishment, his execution of every move of the Twelve Forms Fist was enough to make one’s jaw drop.
With the Twelve Forms Fist about to reach its Second Limit Break, his understanding of this Lower Grade Fist Technique had long surpassed that of its creator, reaching an unimaginable level.
As he practiced, he had unconsciously begun to modify the Fist Technique.
He could now easily perceive and correct the many imperfections within the Fist Technique.
Coupled with Traits like "Vajra Iron Fist," "Wind under the Feet," and "Light as a Feather"...
...the power of this Fist Technique had soared to a terrifying new level!
Even though he had not yet truly broken through the Bone Marrow Forging stage, he now dared to fight an expert of the Bone Tempering Realm!
[Twelve Forms Fist Experience Points +8]
["Twelve Forms Fist" has reached its limit. Consume 50 Spiritual Essence to break the limit? Yes/No?]
As the notification appeared in his mind, Chu Fan let out a long, turbid breath and stopped his practice.
As his Spiritual Essence depleted...
The familiar sensation of Breaking Limit instantly spread throughout his body.
Scenes from all his past training sessions, every punch and kick he had ever thrown, replayed in his mind.
The Fist Technique, which had already reached the Transformation Realm, was revised once more, becoming smoother, faster, and more perfect!
Even a single, minute change meant the Fist Technique had grown stronger.
Though Chu Fan had experienced Breaking Limit multiple times, he still couldn’t suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
The metamorphosis from a quantitative to a qualitative change was intoxicating.
[Skill: Twelve Forms Fist (Second Limit Break (4/4500), Traits: Vajra Iron Fist, Vajra Iron Leg)]
[Vajra Iron Leg: From toe to knee, incomparably hard. The tip of your foot is like a hammer, your stomp can crater the earth. A single strike is like a falling meteor, capable of destroying cities and shattering Stone, its might unstoppable.]
’This time, it’s my legs...’
Chu Fan stared at the Trait from the Twelve Forms Fist’s Second Limit Break, his heart wild with joy.
’For the Third Limit Break, will my whole body become as tough as steel?’
’Could I actually achieve the state of a Saint of Flesh?’
Chu Fan lightly stomped his right foot.
BOOM!
The earth and stone beneath his foot collapsed, instantly forming a large crater!
Just as he was about to fall in, Chu Fan lightly tapped his left foot on the crumbling soil. He floated up like a willow catkin and landed softly at the crater’s edge.
The strange bird in the crabapple tree was startled into flight. It flapped its wings frantically, circling endlessly above the courtyard while squawking chaotically—
From the looks of it, it seemed to be cursing up a storm again.
But why would Chu Fan pay any mind to a dumb bird?
He didn’t even test the true power of his Vajra Iron Leg. Instead, he walked straight into his house, ready to condense the ninth strand of Qi Blood Power and break through the Bone Marrow Forging stage in one go!
The "Blood Nourishing Realm" required condensing three strands of Qi Blood;
The "Blood Refining Realm" required condensing six strands of Qi Blood;
and the "Bone Marrow Forging stage" required condensing nine strands of Qi Blood.
Now, he was just one final strand away!
The reason he chose to break the limit of his Twelve Forms Fist first was because the stronger the Fist Technique, the greater his ability to control Qi Blood Power.
He had been able to easily condense eight strands of Qi Blood recently, and the First Limit Break of his Twelve Forms Fist deserved much of the credit.
Now that his Twelve Forms Fist had reached its Second Limit Break, condensing this final strand of Qi Blood would naturally be no trouble at all.
Chu Fan walked into the house and spread his feet shoulder-width apart.
Half an hour later...
He let out a long sigh, slightly exhausted.
Condensing the final strand of Qi Blood hadn’t been difficult—it had even taken much less time than before—but it was certainly draining.
