On the other side, Lin Ping'an, who had just finished practicing the cultivation technique twice, collapsed weakly on the floor.
After two sessions of cultivation, his Qi Blood Value had increased by several points. Although it was somewhat painful, it was a pain mixed with joy.
Since a long time ago, no matter how hard he practiced, his value did not rise. He hadn't experienced this feeling in ages.
Lin Ping'an opened the system panel, looked at the information on it, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However.
At this moment.
He suddenly discovered that the upper limit of his Qi Blood Value had suddenly increased out of nowhere, while the Qi Blood within his body also surged.
Seeing this, after a moment of thought, Lin Ping'an already knew the reason.
"Is it that a Martial Artist has started to attempt cultivating the Painful Demon Body? Is this the cultivation feedback?"
As he murmured to himself, his Qi Blood Value also began to gradually increase, and the speed was accelerating.
63 calories... 64 calories... 65 calories...
Continuously climbing, continuously strengthening.
In no time, it had already broken through 70 calories and was heading toward 80 calories.
Lin Ping'an was also very excited about this.
He never expected that the gains would come so quickly.
This wave was a direct takeoff.
Apart from this, the Civilization Value, which had been completely consumed when perfecting the[Painful Demon Body] technique, also began to grow.
10 points... 20 points... 50 points... 100 points...
The further it went, the faster the growth rate.
However, at this moment, Lin Ping'an didn't have the time to check those. As time went by, his own Qi Blood Value upper limit had already soared to over 90 calories.
And in the next instant, it reached the value of 100 calories.
Normally, the limit for a Quasi-Martial Artist is 100 calories of Qi Blood, which allows for body tempering and direct breakthrough to become a First Grade Martial Artist.
Of course, one could choose not to break through, continue cultivating Qi Blood Value, and perform a second or third body tempering with extreme operations.
The more times one tempers their body in the early stages, the stronger the combat power upon entering the grade in the later stages, and the easier it is to break through bottlenecks.
All of these belong to the routine operations of those Martial Arts prodigies with outstanding aptitude.
Lin Ping'an, who had long since finished reading all the books in the campus library about relevant Martial Arts Knowledge, naturally understood these things thoroughly.
In the past, due to aptitude issues, he couldn't cultivate a high Qi Blood Value, having the knowledge but no opportunity to use it.
Now, with everything ready, he naturally wanted to climb to the limits of Martial Arts.
He wanted to do his best in everything.
Even if he's not a Martial Arts prodigy, even if his aptitude is nearly zero, with the help of the Civilization Master System, Lin Ping'an was determined to compete against the heavens.
Upon reaching the 100-calorie Qi Blood Value limit, Lin Ping'an sat cross-legged and, according to the knowledge in his mind, began a round of body tempering.
The Qi Blood surged, constantly wandering inside his body, and at the same time, impurities were expelled from his skin.
Before long, a round of body tempering was completed, and as he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of light.
However, just after completing the body tempering, the Qi Blood Value climbed upward again.
101 calories... 102 calories... 103 calories...
Before long, it had reached the upper limit of 115 calories, which is the value for the second body tempering.
For an ordinary Martial Artist, it would take at least a month or even a few months to cultivate from 100 calories to 115 calories.
But now, Lin Ping'an only took a little over ten minutes.
Thus, the second round of body tempering officially began.
...
Meanwhile.
The popularity of the Yellow Level Technique[Painful Demon Body]was continuously increasing on the Celestial Dao Network, and the number of purchases was also on the rise.
The group of practitioners gradually expanded from Third Grade and below Martial Artists to a wider audience.
Even some ordinary people, upon hearing the news, used their limited login time on the Celestial Dao Network to purchase, read, and learn it.
Of course, unlike Entering Grade Martial Artists, ordinary people did not learn as quickly; it would take them several days and multiple logins to finish and accurately remember the cultivation technique content.
Among these early practicing ordinary people, some were curious, some never gave up on Martial Arts, and others, were lured into it.
The group that was lured in mostly consisted of students from major martial arts halls, remedial class students, and even high school students.
The reason is simple: those embarrassed coaches and teachers just wanted to share this miraculous cultivation technique with others!
Of course, the aspect of wanting others to experience social death as they did, having been seen in an embarrassing state, also played a part in it.
For instance, Coach Li from the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall recommended[Painful Demon Body]to all his students with a smile.
He didn't stop boasting about how miraculous this technique was, how fast the cultivation speed was, how easy the cultivation difficulty was, calling it the most miraculous Yellow Level Technique.
Regarding this, the students were skeptical, but after logging into the Celestial Dao Network and seeing the star level evaluation marked on the technique, they had no more doubts.
Excitedly, without even reading the comments, they quickly used 1 Merit Point to purchase it, preparing to cultivate.
That night, more screams echoed in different rooms across various cities in Great Xia.
"Ahhhhh... It hurts so much..."
"It's toxic... too painful!"
"Damn it! This technique is toxic! Why is it so painful to cultivate?"
"Coach Li... you beast! You did it on purpose!"
"Awooooo... It hurts so much, it's killing me!"
"..."
Among them, the wails of some students even drew the attention of their parents, urgently sending them to nearby hospitals for checks.
For a time, hospitals everywhere were packed, as countless youths were forcibly sent for examination, experiencing yet another wave of social death.
Countless people were furious beyond words.
"Damn it! Really damn! Warrior of Love? Nonsense! It's simply a pain fanatic!"
"If I found out who the creator is, I'd beat the crap out of them!"
"Screw this! Is this something humans can cultivate? Dammit! I want my Merit Points back!"
"..."
Lin Ping'an, who was continuously tempering his body, knew nothing about all this.
Or even if he did, he wouldn't care.
If one wants to cultivate rapidly yet not endure pain, how could it be that easy?
Every gift from fate had long been secretly marked with a price.
Unless one cheats.
That evening, Lin Ping'an spent most of his time in the bathroom.
After all, tempering his body periodically, although the impurities excreted gradually decreased, he still needed to clean up.
As a beautiful young man, he cared a lot about his image.
That evening.
115-calorie Qi Blood Value upper limit, second body tempering completed.
...
130-calorie Qi Blood Value upper limit, third body tempering completed.
...
150-calorie Qi Blood Value upper limit, fourth body tempering completed.
...
180 calories... fifth body tempering completed.
...
The further it went, the slower the increase of the Qi Blood Value upper limit, and the more the next body tempering required a higher limit.
Initially, it only needed to increase by 15 calories between two body temperings, but later it grew to 20 points... 25 points... 30 points.
The overall difficulty increased geometrically, becoming ridiculously hard.
