Jiang Dali felt as if two beams of light had erupted from his body.
Suddenly, many insights and understandings about ’One Yang Finger’ and ’Iron Cloth Shirt’ appeared in his mind.
These two Martial Arts also instantly advanced by one realm.
’Iron Cloth Shirt’ directly ascended from the 8th Realm of Divine Transformation to the 9th Realm of Returning to Nature.
’One Yang Finger’ advanced from the 2nd Realm of Initial Insight to the 3rd Realm of Slight Success.
Jiang Dali felt like there was a furnace burning inside him, inexplicably causing intense heat, and suddenly a lot of viscous sweat mixed with bodily fluids streamed out from his pores.
He took a few breaths and moved his limbs.
Exhaling in one breath, the airflow passed through his abdomen and shot out from his throat, producing a sound resembling a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s howl.
"Dragon Roar Tiger Roar Iron Cloth Shirt! My Iron Cloth Shirt has indeed reached the Realm of Returning to Nature!"
Jiang Dali’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and he burst into laughter.
His laughter, like a dragon’s roar and tiger’s howl, was so powerful that it shook the entire weapons depot.
Dust tickled down as the weapons on the racks around him shook violently, displaying his incredibly strong internal power.
At this moment, the skin tone of his full body seemed to have undergone some changes.
His body was a steel-blue mixed with ancient bronze.
Moving his hands and feet, the noise between his bones sounded like the clashing of metal.
Simply vibrating his vocal cords sounded like the striking of a large bell.
The old calluses and skin on his body shed into a substance tougher than cowhide.
He felt an exceptionally powerful sense of strength.
It made him feel as if he’d transformed into an indestructible Vajra.
This feeling, in the past, was only experienced when entering the state of Iron Cloth Shirt.
Now, even without using his skills, he felt incredibly strong.
Even his body seemed somewhat taller, and the clothes and boots he wore appeared much tighter.
It gave him the feeling that a little exertion might cause them to burst, with his toes poking out of his boots.
After the thrill, Jiang Dali quickly stabilized his emotions. His eyes flickered slightly as he extended his index finger.
A high-speed rotating Spiral Qi gathered at his fingertip, exuding a mellow and masculine Nine Yang Inner Qi Force.
With one point of his finger, he tore through the air, creating a sharp shockwave.
Like a needle firing, it instantly penetrated the opposite stone wall.
On the somewhat dim wall of the weapons depot, a glowing hole suddenly appeared.
Jiang Dali walked over and lightly touched it with his finger.
He felt that the hole made by the One Yang Finger Force had a spiral texture.
But the texture was very smooth.
This truly demonstrated how powerful the slightly successful One Yang Finger was, its penetrating and killing power was astounding.
"It seems that the power of my One Yang Finger now can be compared to that of the deceased Zhu Changling."
Jiang Dali silently compared.
But he deduced in his heart that Zhu Changling’s One Yang Finger Realm should have reached the 4th Realm of Mastery.
His ability to match him was mainly due to the additional damage enhancement of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to all Martial Arts.
The randomly chosen upgrade of two Martial Arts Realms by one level, although it did not select the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
But the result was still very satisfying to Jiang Dali.
Both the One Yang Finger and the previously 8th Realm Iron Cloth Shirt consumed a lot of Cultivation Points and Potential Points.
Especially, Iron Cloth Shirt advancing from 8th to 9th Realm required 10,000 Cultivation Points and an additional 3,000 Potential Points.
Selecting Iron Cloth Shirt was also something of a surprise.
Jiang Dali continued to explore the enhanced Iron Cloth Shirt within the weapons depot.
Any Martial Arts reaching the Realm of Returning to Nature undergo a qualitative change, generating immense power, even for Mortal Martial Arts.
Although the pinnacle of Martial Arts Realm is the 10th Realm, Shocking the Ancient and Modern.
A 10th Realm, Shocking the Ancient and Modern Martial Arts level, cannot simply be achieved by spending Cultivation Points and Potential Points.
It also requires insight, opportunity, and other indispensable factors.
Thus, "Returning to Nature" can be said to be a peak for a person of the Martial World.
After Iron Cloth Shirt reached the Realm of Returning to Nature, Jiang Dali found not only his Qi-Blood increased by 500 points.
His inherent defensive power also reached a level of 12.
This amazing physical defense meant that in his ordinary state, his entire body was equivalent to wearing a one-level lower golden silk armor.
Ordinary people with ordinary swords and weapons would have a hard time injuring him.
And the understanding of Iron Cloth Shirt also prompted insights into other body-related Martial Arts like ’Golden Body Skill’, ’Thirteen Grand Protectors Training’, and ’Bone Shrinking Skill’.
This resulted in an increase in proficiency for these Martial Arts.
"Completing the Green Forest Dominator’s task indeed brought many benefits, just the title of Green Forest Dominator alone enhanced my Qi-Blood by 300 and Inner Qi by 100, not bad at all."
