Name: Lu Yuan
Age: 16
[Technique: Five Tigers Breaking Formation Saber (25126/30000 Perfected)]
[Tiger-Taming Stance Bone Forging (32012/30000 Perfection, Breakthrough?)]
[Iron Bone Golden Bell Cover (31034/30000 Perfection, Breakthrough Possible)]
【"Cloud-Piercing Crane Wing Formation" (27819/30000 Perfection) Additional Effects: Borrowing Wind, Armor Penetration】
Looking at the data appearing in his mind, Lu Yuan smiled. He could finally break through. Once he reached the Tendon Refining stage, he could become a true centurion.
"breakthrough."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yuan chose to take it a step further. The next moment, his bones underwent a transformation, revealing the bones that were already radiating a faint golden light.
At this moment, it seems to have become completely like jade.
A streak of light flashed by from time to time.
The bones and muscles collided, making a crackling sound.
Even his height has increased.
Moreover, his frame has become larger, and his physique has become more robust, giving him a hint of tiger-like features.
When both fists are clenched.
A surge of power coursed through his entire body.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was certain that he had broken through.
Then, they took out the tiger bone ointment.
This stuff is taken orally, and it doesn't smell very good, but at this point, we don't care about the taste.
Lu Yuan picked up the medicine pot and drank it down.
As the viscous medicine flowed down the throat, a surge of heat spread throughout the body.
My entire body was enveloped in heat.
Then, gradually, you become part of it.
He brought the "Tiger-Taming Stake" to its ultimate level.
With each breath, a thunderous sound seemed to reverberate within his chest and abdomen.
A faint tiger's roar emanated from within his body.
This power seemed inexhaustible, constantly surging within Lu Yuan's body.
Each overflow increases the strength of Lu Yuan's bones.
Dense divine matter clung to the bones, constantly refining them.
Lu Yuan could clearly feel that his strength had increased to an unprecedented level.
"Buzz!"
With a resounding hum, Lu Yuan's muscles and bones trembled, resonating with the surrounding air.
Then, the system panel was opened.
[Tiger-Taming Stance Bone Forging (50000/50000 Perfection, Breakthrough?)]
"breakthrough."
At this moment, Lu Yuan's bones were completely set, and the tendons throughout his body twisted like pythons, visibly taut.
It took a few moments for things to stabilize completely.
【Tiger-Taming Stance Training (0/10000 Mastery)】
"call!"
Lu Yuan let out a long breath.
The foundation he had laid in the past was too good, and with the Iron Bone Golden Bell Cover constantly tempering his body, Lu Yuan became a master of Tendon Refining as soon as he broke through.
Logically speaking, once someone reaches this level, they would normally be able to break through directly and qualify for the Refining of Impurities, but Lu Yuan wanted to break through the limit.
So for him, it's just the beginning.
Then, Lu Yuan's "Iron Bone Golden Bell Cover" also began to exert its power. This technique does not only temper one part, but comprehensively enhances physical strength.
It includes muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, and everything else.
At this moment, with the breakthrough, the golden bell that was originally floating outside the body completely merged with it.
A faint golden light flashed and disappeared in the skin's pores.
Lu Yuan's skin and bones were as if they were made of gold and iron, making it impossible for ordinary weapons to harm him in the slightest.
As the name suggests, "Iron Bones and Golden Bell Cover" focuses on tempering one's own bones.
【"Iron Bones and Golden Bell" (1934/50000 followers)】
Lu Yuan at this moment.
His skin, flesh, and bones have been tempered to perfection, and his strength is extremely great.
On the battlefield, he could fight against a hundred ordinary soldiers.
As for encountering elite opponents, that depends on your own performance and the specific strength of the opposing team.
Then, Lu Yuan stood up.
Looking outside, it was noon, and with the arrival of spring, the sunlight was much stronger than before.
Feeling hungry, he quickly ate something to fill his stomach and then went outside.
Once you reach the level of "Tendon Refinement," you can become a full-fledged centurion. Also, you'll be able to go out and challenge the Iron Falcons.
In the last battle, he was at a disadvantage in terms of both numbers and cultivation level. This time, he can fight the opponent fairly.
Then, they headed towards the Captain's residence.
At that moment, Zhou Hongling, who was in her study, frowned deeply. Just a day earlier, an elite force she had dispatched had been completely wiped out.
This team, led by a centurion, is a master of muscle refinement, and has thirty elite soldiers under his command. In terms of equipment and everything else, they are among the best in Icefield City.
But they still lost. According to the scouts who came back from surveying the battlefield, the battle lasted less than half an hour.
The corpses were piled up less than fifty miles from Icefield City.
This is absolutely a provocation from the Iron Falcon.
Looking at the reprimanding letter sent by his father, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Just then, a guard walked in from outside the door.
"My lord, Lu Yuan requests an audience."
Zhou Hongling raised an eyebrow. This guy had been back for several days. She thought he had given up the idea of fighting, but she didn't expect him to come anyway.
Although she didn't want Lu Yuan to take any risks, she didn't want to discourage him.
After all, what military commanders should maintain most is their sharp edge.
Therefore, all I could say was, "Let him in."
When dealing with capable subordinates, it's necessary to appease them.
A moment later, Lu Yuan walked in, cupped his fists to Zhou Hongling, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
"Sit down and let's talk. Is there something you need?"
The latter said softly.
Lu Yuan straightened up and shouted, "This humble general requests to fight!"
Zhou Hongling seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, and said helplessly, "Lu Yuan, I know what you're thinking, but just yesterday, an elite force that we sent out was completely wiped out by the Iron Falcons in less than half an hour."
Yunmo also nearly perished in the wasteland. The centurion of the Yellow Sand Fortress also suffered a blow. Although he managed to escape, his elite troops all died outside.
"You're still only at the Bone Forging Realm, you need to cultivate diligently. As long as you're in the Northern Frontier, under my command, I guarantee you'll have many opportunities to earn merit. Why are you in such a hurry?"
She genuinely cared for Lu Yuan. In fact, everyone in the three fortified cities wanted their subordinates to defeat the Iron Falcons, and then becoming the garrison commander of the three cities would be a certainty.
However, Zhou Hongling still chose not to let Lu Yuan take any risks, which shows how much she values him.
"My lord, do you mean that I can go into battle once I reach the Tendon Refining stage?"
"If you reach the Tendon Refining stage, I definitely won't stop you," Zhou Hongling said confidently.
Because in her mind, Lu Yuan couldn't possibly break through so quickly, after all, he hadn't been at the Bone Forging stage for very long.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yuan stood up and said, "My lord, I have broken through to the Tendon Refining stage. Please allow me to leave the city."
As the sound faded, a cracking sound rang out from his bones and muscles, a sign that he had achieved the goal of "tendon and muscle strengthening."
Zhou Hongling's eyes lit up. This time, she was certain that she had struck gold. This comprehension, this talent.
At this moment, she felt a pang of regret and no longer wanted the young man in front of her to take the risk.
However, since the words have already been spoken, there's no way to take them back now.
Lu Yuan continued, "My lord, please grant me permission to leave the city."
Zhou Hongling lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, I approve your departure from the city, but before that, there is one more thing to do, which is your promotion to centurion."
I'll select some men; come over tomorrow so you can meet them and I'll officially appoint you as centurion.
Since we can't stop him, we can only try our best to get more skilled men under Lu Yuan's command.
"Yes, sir."
Lu Yuan responded and then withdrew.
