The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Perfection of Iron Shirt! Success in Transforming Tendon!

Just like when Su Hao fought Wu Yannian, if Wu Yannian hadn’t been wearing the invulnerable armor, his combat strength wouldn’t have been much stronger than Shi Tieshan’s. Su Hao could have dispatched him in a matter of moments!

But with the invulnerable armor wrapped around him, even Su Hao’s full-powered punch couldn’t cause any harm, and it took considerable effort to finally defeat him!

Weapons and armor are crucial for many martial artists.

“Shopkeeper Xu, please take care of it.”

The thin old man beside him took out an exquisitely crafted wooden box from his robe and opened it.

Immediately, a fragrant aroma filled the air as inside the wooden box lay a pill the size of a fingertip, displaying a Jade White Luster.

“Thank you.”

Xu Huanzhen, having taken the Tendon Protection Pill before, recognized it immediately as indeed the Tendon Protection Pill. He expressed his gratitude and accepted it.

Zhao Bufan, as a Young Master of the Zhao family, had plenty of dealings with the Forging Weaponry Workshop and didn’t consider using unscrupulous means to seize the Star Light Saber.

The exchange was perfectly completed, allowing Xu Huanzhen to breathe a sigh of relief, considering it a fulfillment of Hero Wen’s commission.

“This weapon was crafted by Master Su, right? Truly impressive.”

Zhao Bufan glanced at Su Hao and did not hold back his praise.

Wherever there is capability, respect and recognition will follow!

Su Hao, at such a young age, had already become a Grandmaster Blacksmith, and he might still prove useful in the future. Zhao Bufan coming in person was, in reality, a way of giving face to Su Hao and helping elevate his reputation!

The deal was completed without any unexpected incidents, and after exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Bufan left with the Star Light Saber under Xu Huanzhen’s escort.

For someone like Zhao Bufan, born into a prestigious family, a Star Light Saber was not worth him seizing by force and tarnishing his family’s reputation!

“Thankfully…”No unexpected incidents occurred.”

Su Hao, who witnessed the entire scene, also breathed a sigh of relief, as he feared that something might go wrong. Fortunately, the transaction went smoothly and perfectly, with both parties getting what they needed!

With this Tendon Protection Pill in hand, Su Hao could be almost certain of completing the Transforming Tendon process successfully!

The next evening, after finishing work, Su Hao went to the Forging Weaponry Workshop under the name ‘Wen Tailai’ and met with Xu Huanzhen.

Xu Huanzhen, feeling relieved, handed the Tendon Protection Pill over to Su Hao. After all, if something went wrong while he still held onto the pill, he wouldn’t be able to explain it!

Now that he had forged an initiated-grade weapon and traded it for the Tendon Protection Pill to give to ‘Wen Tailai’, he felt he had repaid the favor for the assistance he received and was free of debts!

“This Hero Wen truly appears and disappears without a trace, almost as if he materialized out of thin air. It’s too mysterious; I really don’t know what kind of extraordinary person he is.”

Watching Su Hao disappear into the darkness, Xu Huanzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder. This Wen Tailai didn’t reveal any martial arts lineage, and although he didn’t seem old, his strength was unfathomable. He was a Blade Catcher hired by the Yamen, yet even they likely knew little about his background!

“With the Tendon Protection Pill in hand, I can finally start the Transforming Tendon process.”

Unbeknownst to Su Hao, Xu Huanzhen had these thoughts as he quietly returned home. Looking at the white jade-colored Tendon Protection Pill inside the box, he felt a wave of joy.

After killing that Demon Dao Remnant, Wu Yannian, he gained much, including rare Star Pattern Iron to forge an initiated-grade weapon, and exchanged it for this precious Tendon Protection Pill.

Without hesitation, Su Hao swallowed the Tendon Protection Pill in one gulp.

He could feel the medicinal power of the pill taking effect, making his meridians feel cool and protected by an invisible force, safeguarding them from harm.

“Ten Treasure Tendon Nourishing Soup… 50 taels of silver for a portion of the herbs. Let’s test out the effects.”

Su Hao removed his clothes and stood in front of a wooden bath barrel filled with a light green medicinal liquid, where various herbs were soaking.

The Ten Treasure Tendon Nourishing Soup was a secret remedy for Transforming Tendons that Su Hao discovered among Wu Yannian’s collection, suitable for martial artists attempting Transforming Tendon for the first time. The effects are relatively gentle, and during this time, Su Hao had gathered these herbs.

With the Tendon Protection Pill and Su Hao’s own foundation, he felt that if he could still encounter any surprises during the Transforming Tendon process, then others would likely struggle even more to succeed!

“The effect of one Tendon Protection Pill lasts for three months… that’s enough for me to cultivate my meridians to a certain strength. By then, I won’t have to worry about the Transforming Tendon process harming my meridians, and stepping into the Transforming Tendon Stage will be just around the corner!”

Without delay, Su Hao shed his clothes, revealing his well-toned physique, and jumped into the wooden bath barrel filled with a light green medicinal liquid where various herbs were soaking.

The energy within his body naturally circulated, drawing a refreshing, relatively mild medicinal power from the liquid, refining his meridians.

Su Hao’s meridians eagerly absorbed this energy, strengthening themselves. Each delicate meridian grew tougher and more powerful! It was like a tender sprout gradually developing into a resilient vine.

“Now, I’ll just take my time, quietly awaiting my transformation. Aside from the Transforming Tendon process, I’ll use my spare time to practice the Iron Shirt.”

After nearly an hour had passed, Su Hao finally sensed a feeling of fullness in his meridians, which prompted him to stop this round of Transforming Tendons.

The process of Transforming Tendons is quite slow and requires a large amount of valuable secret medicine to serve as nourishment for meridian growth.

Su Hao’s Ten Treasure Tendon Nourishing Soup costs fifty taels of silver for one set of herbs. He needed about six to seven sets of medicine each month, which totals around three hundred taels of silver! That amount could be considered as money flowing like water. The Wu Family Villa’s master, Wu Yannian, whom he killed, only had a little over a thousand taels of silver in his treasury; the rest of the funds had been spent by Su Hao himself.

Fortunately, thanks to the money Su Hao had saved up before, combined with his recent gains, he had over two thousand taels of silver in savings, enough to support his training for quite some time.

Because Su Hao had immense strength force and abundant vitality, he could fully refine the medicinal effects of one set of medicine. His efficiency and progress in the Transforming Tendon process far surpassed those of ordinary martial artists.

Su Hao’s life had been relatively comfortable and stable. Since forging an initiated-grade weapon, Su Hao’s status in the Forging Weaponry Workshop had skyrocketed; everyone transitioned from calling him ‘Master Su’ to ‘Master Su’. Many people even opted to pay extra for him to craft weapons tailored to their specifications.

This made Su Hao’s income double; he could earn well over a hundred taels of silver each month!

In addition, whether he was practicing External Exercise Hard Skill with the Iron Shirt or the Transforming Tendon process, he was making remarkable progress in both.

In the blink of an eye, four to five months had passed since the incident with Wu Yannian.

In Su Hao’s residence, within a spacious training room, an astonishing scene unfolded.

On the flat ground, multiple blades were embedded with their tips pointing upwards, glistening sharply like a mountain of knives amid a sea of fire.

Yet Su Hao, barefoot and bare, leaped onto two of the pointed blades. Strangely, these sharp edges could not pierce his skin in the slightest.

“Crack!”

Su Hao strolled leisurely atop the knife tips, even sinking his weight down by focusing his energy in his Dantian. Instantly, the blades bent and broke under his weight, yet Su Hao’s feet sustained no injuries whatsoever!

With a whoosh, Su Hao, dressed in simple cloth, directly lay down among the cluster of sharp blades and rolled around. The sight was enough to make anyone’s heart race in fear.

However, as Su Hao rolled over the ‘mountain of blades’, not only did his skin remain unscathed, but even the fragile fabric of his clothing showed no signs of damage, as if he were wearing an impenetrable iron suit over his skin.

Iron Shirt (Perfection)

Potential Points: 70 points (Innate Talent)

Su Hao stood up and stretched slightly.

The Iron Shirt, a martial art that demands exceptional physical constitution and foundation, had been cultivated to the realm of Perfection by Su Hao, who possessed Innate Talent and Jade Glass Bones, in less than six months!

“This Perfection realm of the Iron Shirt not only significantly enhances my muscles’ impact resistance but also condenses my energy, making the cloth itself rigid, as if clad in impenetrable armor. With my solid Strength Force, even if I stand still, someone like Shi Tieshan would likely struggle to breach my defenses…” Su Hao thought to himself.

When facing Shi Tieshan, who had achieved a great accomplishment in the Golden Bell Cover, Su Hao had to use his Void Breaking Divine Fist to defeat him with all his might!

Now that he practiced the Iron Shirt, which was at least on par with the Golden Bell Cover and had reached Perfection, Su Hao’s physical defenses had surpassed Shi Tieshan by a significant margin!

“The Transforming Tendon is also approaching the brink of Transformation; I should complete the transformation and step into a new realm soon!”

What Su Hao anticipated the most was the progress of his Transforming Tendon, which was also on the verge of a breakthrough.

With the Tendon Protection Pill, ample resources, and Su Hao’s solid foundation, his Transforming Tendon process faced almost no unexpected setbacks, steadily advancing. On the night three days later, he would seamlessly achieve his breakthrough!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the bathtub, Su Hao sat silently in meditation, his vital energy boiling and his Strength Force surging, flowing through his entire Meridians. The twelve major tendons within his body writhed and trembled, producing clear, audible sounds of resonance, as if all his muscles and bones were ringing in unison!
