Chapter 417: Chapter 272 Body Refining Technique·Self-Research Version_2

The essence of training involves repairing and growing muscles after minuscule damage.

When people engage in weight training or high-intensity exercise, muscle fibers experience slight damage, which is known as micro muscle tears.

Subsequently, during rest and nutritional supplementation, the body repairs these damages and slightly enlarges the size of the muscle fibers in the process, in order to better cope with future stress.

This mechanism is known as muscle hypertrophy and is the primary reason why muscle growth is induced by strength training.

The concept of "Thunder Refining Body Technique" is based on literary and fantasy creation.

But in reality, the thunder energy capable of causing fatal injuries, including but not limited to cardiopulmonary failure, burns, nerve damage, and tissue destruction, how could it not be considered as micro muscle damage?

Don’t mention how minute it is.

Just talk about whether there’s damage or not!

Destruction! And then promoting repair!

This core idea still matches up.

It wasn’t Chen Yun’s problem that ordinary people couldn’t handle it—he felt that he could withstand it and had the ability to repair!

Then, in the early morning while thinking this.

Chen Yun decided to start experimenting with Thunder Refining Body.

...

The night was deep, and silence engulfed everything around.

The faintest sounds could be clearly discerned in this quiet night.

Occasionally,

a night bird’s call would pierce the stillness, then return to calm.

Moonlight, like water, poured onto the winding mountain paths.

The air was filled with a faint pine scent and the smell of soil, mixed with the freshness and coolness unique to the night, bringing an unparalleled cleansing and peace to the soul.

Chen Yun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He immersed his spirit in tranquility.

Afterward, Chen Yun slowly extended his hand,

making a supportive gesture with his palm facing up.

Soon, an electrical current began to gather from his fingertips, winding around him like tiny silver snakes, eventually forming into a bright arc of electricity.

Initially,

Chen Yun cautiously allowed the electric current to lightly graze the surface of his skin.

It was as if he was testing the waters.

As someone who was cautious in his actions, he certainly wouldn’t jump to full intensity without trying it first.

So, it must be a step by step progression.

And in this very first step of progression,

he could feel the slight sensation the electric current brought.

The feeling was clear, yet not intense.

Only after increasing the intensity significantly did he feel a stinging sensation as if shocked, but this pain quickly adapted by the body and turned into a peculiar numb sensation.

Before long,

this numb feeling would also fade away.

As the experiment deepened,

many of the surrounding plants had turned to charcoal due to a few careless energy leaks.

The once vibrant bushes and towering ancient trees now only had charred trunks and withered branches, their twisted postures as if recounting the horror of the power storm.

On the ground, the grass was scorched to a yellow crisp, and the soil had become hardened due to the high heat, losing its fertility.

Whenever Thunder Ability energy leaked out,

those uncontrollable energies, like wild horses breaking free, recklessly assaulted the environment around, turning all shades of life’s green into nothingness.

Chen Yun didn’t bother with it and gradually increased the intensity of the electrical current.

Each electric shock seemed like a call to awaken the hidden strength within, as muscle fibers seemed to bind more densely under the influence of the electricity, each recovery making the muscles tougher.

Chen Yun discovered that when he controlled the Thunder Ability to circulate within him,

the body’s response was unexpectedly positive.

His cells seemed to become more active under the electric stimulus, accelerating his metabolism, and seemingly speeding up the muscle repair process.

No,

to be precise, it was Chen Yun’s inherently extensive repair ability being activated under this powerful Thunder Strength.

As time went on, Chen Yun’s experimentation developed from preliminary probes into a systematic training program.

He began to devise a regimen for the Thunder Refining Body Technique,

trying to ensure that each time, the current would follow a specific pattern flowing through different muscle groups to ensure that the entire body benefited evenly.

...

May 8, Wednesday, 7:30 in the morning.

The first rays of sunlight after dawn pierced through the dense forest of the Qinling.

They slanted across the face of Chen Yun, who sat with his eyes closed, meditating.

He sat cross-legged at the mouth of a cave.

A peace beyond words surrounded him, as if he were isolated from the world.

Suddenly,

a subtle ripple spread through the air, like a stone cast upon the still surface of a lake, the ripples emanating slowly from Chen Yun.

As his breathing deepened, a faint electric current began to dance under his skin, like tiny silver snakes weaving through muscle and bone.

With every heartbeat came a soft crackling, a sign of energy coursing through his body, as though Chen Yun himself were a power generator brimming with infinite strength.

Finally, Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes.

Two sharp gazes, tangible as if they were real, pierced the dimness of the cave and shot straight up to the sky.

His pupils seemed to contain stars and oceans, deep and vast.

When he exhaled a long breath, it was as if an invisible sword sliced through the air, leaving behind a nearly invisible trail that suddenly dropped the temperature inside the cave.

Chen Yun stood up, his movements smooth and forceful.

Like the most perfect predator in nature, each step resonated harmoniously with the earth.

He looked towards the mouth of the cave; the outside world was gradually awakening, the chorus of bird calls, the sound of the wind, and the distant babble of streams weaving into a symphony of nature.

Next to him, the giant panda and loyal dog Bai Jin still slept, seemingly oblivious to the changes within Chen Yun, only occasionally making a contented purring sound.

As if even in their dreams, they could sense their master’s tranquility and strength.

Chen Yun gently stroked the panda and silly dog Bai Jin’s heads, then walked toward the cave entrance.

Gazing at the awakening world outside.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but crack a Dragon King grin.

He’d done it! The Dao Master had succeeded!

After working through the early hours of the morning, he had successfully realized his idea of Thunder Refining Body.

The roaming thunder within him would achieve the effect of tempering his body. His uniquely developed Thunder Refining Body Technique had been successfully researched, as expected!

Although the thunder’s destructive power wasn’t strong enough to damage Chen Yun’s body, the actual tempering effect wasn’t as good as he had imagined.

However, Chen Yun, with his nearly infinite duration to use Thunder Ability, ensured that this ability could be like a normal state that’s switched on all day.

After discovering this trait,

Chen Yun immediately combined the full-day burden of Gravity-maintained training with his developed Thunder Refining Body Technique.

The resultant combined training effect saw a significant enhancement.

This new ability, which Chen Yun had renamed to [Body Refining Technique·Self-Research Version], incorporated the high-load effects of Gravity-like forces with the effects of Thunder Refining Body from novels.

It could be activated in every gesture and movement of Chen Yun’s daily life.

Before leaving the Qinling today, he had finally perfected this new training concept.

This made Chen Yun extremely pleased.

He planned to leave the Qinling today.

He had originally come to the Qinling to see wild giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys, and not only had he slept with a wild giant panda, but he had also seen the other species he wanted to on the way to this man-made cave with the pandas—golden snub-nosed monkeys.

And then there was the tiger he had seen before.

One could almost say he had more than fulfilled his mission.

So it was indeed time to leave.

After leaving Qinling,

his next stop was planned to be the great city across from the Qinling, Xi’an, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties with more people underground than above. It would be a pity not to visit it while passing by.

He planned to complete his thoughts and research on Body Refining Technique early, as the sooner this was done, the sooner he’d enjoy the benefits.

Moreover, there were quite a few things he wanted to see in the city of Xi’an.

So he didn’t have the leisure to research Body Refining Technique.

Therefore,

this current situation could not be better.

Chen Yun even refrained from disturbing the sleeping panda; instead, he picked up Bai Jin and left the place.

Just as he had done with the tiger before.

Gently, he left.

Without taking a single cloud.

Even quicker than a heartbreaker’s escape after waking up in the night.

Everything experienced deep in the Qinling felt like a dream at this moment.

Surreally unreal.
