As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Second Shopkeeper Xu Beihu once said that if the three of them wanted to achieve Skin Refinement Completion, they would need to diligently train hard for two years to attain it; if they were lazy, it might take even longer.

Therefore, none of them dared slack off one bit.

Li Che was significantly older than Zhao Xuan and Wang Zhengpin; he was already twenty years old, which made him three or four years older than the other two.

If he didnʼt work hard, as he aged and his vital energy declined, it might become even harder to make progress in the martial path.

So Xu Beihu had said that the most important part of Body Refinement Technique was diligence, racing against time.

For nearly a year now, Li Che practiced his martial arts in the morning, carved wood in the afternoon, and attempted to make mechanisms at night…

He was busy and fulfilled.

He didnʼt neglect his Skin Refinement Body Refinement either, and had now reached Minor Accomplishment in Skin Refinement.

In terms of progress, he was even slightly ahead of Zhao Xuan and Wang Zhengpin.

Even though Xu Beihu said that Body Refinement didnʼt care much about talent, there still was a slight difference in the end.

Li Che came to the training ground now, of course, to test the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit.

Grasping the stone lock, the vital energy in his body surged, boiling blood-water pounded against his flesh and struck the skin, causing it to turn crimson in an instant, the temperature rose, and heat waves tumbled!

At the same time.

The [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit, as he stimulated his blood energy, seemed to be fully activated and began to throb!

In front of his eyes, a prompt suddenly appeared.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv1, 1%)]

Joy emerged in his pupils, an invisible force spread through his body, striking his skin and feeling as though it had encountered thousands of hits in an instant, greatly accelerating the progress of Skin Refinement!

Li Che, who had achieved Minor Accomplishment in Skin Refinement, felt a sudden increase in his strength, his skin became extremely tough, and even a faint glow shone brightly, as if borrowing the activating power of the Dao Fruit to leap from Minor Accomplishment in Skin Refinement… directly into Perfection!

Unlike the [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit, the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Golden Core Dao Fruit only required him to diligently train to increase!

In short, it could be achieved through hard work!

Li Che was overjoyed, and with a thought, the subtle glow on his body immediately retracted, and his strong aura completely gathered.

It was as if he had completely vanished from existence.

”Controlled freely, a perfect Dao Fruit for deception!”

The vital energy was retracted without revealing a trace.

”With this, I neednʼt worry about being suspected because of too rapid an increase in cultivation. My physique… Xu Beihu has tested it, if it improves too quickly, it will surely raise doubts, and might even bring a fatal disaster upon myself.”

”In such chaotic times, itʼs impossible for Xuʼs Courtyard to have remained secure in Fei Lei City for two hundred years without ruthless methods…”

”Therefore, one must not be without defense against others.”

Li Che pondered for a moment, then gently exhaled.

He practiced the Skin Refinement Cultivation Method step by step in the training ground, training for half a day.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv1, 2%)]

The maturity of the Dao Fruit had actually increased by 1%!

This brought a thicker smile to Li Cheʼs face. Taking advantage of the fact that no one around noticed him, he once again opened the floodgates, releasing the vital blood power contained within the Dao Fruit.

In an instant, his vital energy rose again, reaching Skin Refinement Perfection, his skin glowed with a faint golden light, his temples bulged, with powerful strength coursing between his fists and palms.

After savoring the power boost from the 1% maturity increase… Li Che was immediately thrilled. This meant that he… now qualified to challenge the Muscle Channeling Stage!

To start practicing the Internal Strength Technique!

Besides, the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit has a special ability to summon the Power of the Dragon Elephant. Unfortunately, the training ground was crowded at the moment, so it was not convenient for Li Che to activate it.

But one can imagine that the manipulation of the Power of the Dragon Elephant would surely bring a greater boost!

He gathered the vital energy back inside the Dao Fruit.
