Chapter 354: 0234 Golden Body Perfection (4k for double monthly tickets)_2

Lu Chenzhou bid farewell to his teacher, turning to leave.

Li Gui watched his fading figure before suddenly speaking,

"Chenzhou..."

Lu Chenzhou turned around, asking,

"Teacher, what’s the matter?"

Li Gui, filled with emotion, said, "I’ve imparted all my knowledge to you; my abilities are limited, and I can teach you no more. Congratulations... you have graduated."

Lu Chenzhou replied with a smile,

"One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father."

Li Gui, changing the subject, said,

"This year, I might go to Magic City Martial Arts University for some time."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chenzhou asked with a smile,

"Is it to meet Senior Mingzhu Sword, Li Yu?"

Li Gui’s face turned red and, frowning, he said,

"How did you know?"

Lu Chenzhou burst out laughing,

"Teacher, my friends at Magic City Martial Arts University saw you shopping."

Having said that, Lu Chenzhou left swiftly.

Li Gui coughed and muttered to himself,

"Ye Chen? That guy, can’t keep his mouth shut."

Indeed.

Following the battle at Taihu, the solid-like Li Gui finally met a woman he liked. He had a girlfriend in his early years, but after she died from a Virtual Disaster, he devoted himself to cultivation. Now, no longer young, it was time to think about continuing his lineage.

Most importantly, his beloved student officially graduated today. It felt like seeing his own son get married, leaving no worries behind. Considering Chenzhou’s progress, it wouldn’t take him long to surpass his old teacher, and then he could live his own life.

Recently, Principal Wang had also spoken to him because he had produced Lu Chenzhou, the Martial Arts Genius. Li Gui was given a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and Principal Wang mentioned that he could eventually step back from front-line teaching, to focus on his Breakthrough Third, and possibly even attain a professorship.

Back at home, Li Gui looked at his phone messages.

[Hong Fu: Teacher, when will you introduce us to Teacher’s wife?]

Li Gui looked at Villa No. 32,

"Hey... this kid! They all know already."

So be it, the Iron-faced Tiger had upheld his duty for a lifetime; it was time to let go.

Today, Old Li started his second life!

...

That night.

At Chen Jiu’s house.

Lu Chenzhou, wearing only his shorts, stood before Chen Jiu. After Chen had finished his evaluation, he used his fingers like a hammer, tapping from Lu’s head all the way down to his legs.

Occasionally murmuring,

"Head like a giant Buddha, golden light shining in all directions, Golden Head Skill successful."

"Legs like golden pillars, feet like gold bricks, successful."

"Elbows like golden hammers, successful."

After checking every part of Chenzhou, Chen Jiu, absorbed in thought, admired the golden body before him, seeing the reflection of his younger self in it.

He exclaimed,

"Two years, Golden Body Perfection... you really did it."

For ordinary people, two years wouldn’t even suffice for beginning.

Lu Chenzhou, dressed again, asked,

"Teacher, how long does it usually take to complete the Golden Body Transformation?"

Chen Jiu replied,

"It took me a month when I did it. You? I don’t know."

Chen Jiu had learned to not randomly estimate time anymore.

Lu Chenzhou said,

"All right, I’ll wait patiently."

Chen Jiu advised,

"During this time, take some Great Medicine. Don’t use the Purple Jade Ointment anymore; Vajra Group’s Mingyu Ointment is good, although it’s a bit expensive. You decide."

"The student understands."

Lu Chenzhou had 300 Vajra Points, 200 points went to learn the "Golden Bell Jade Drum Ming King Body," and with the rest, he could buy 5 boxes of Mingyu Potion, which would be enough for the transformation.

Chen Jiu asked,

"By the way, how is the ’Bodhi Technique’ coming along?"

Lu Chenzhou replied,

"I have almost mastered the First Layer, but it gets trickier beyond that."

Chen Jiu’s face twitched slightly, and he waved his hand,

"All right, you should go now."

He shouldn’t have asked.

Before leaving, Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Teacher, could you recommend any True Skill Level Cross Training Martial Arts focused on crotch skills?"

Chen Jiu pondered for a moment and said,

"Martial Arts related to the crotch are rare, the regular ones merely entail the ’Iron Crotch Skill’. Only two involve True Skill Cross Training, both incredibly difficult to master, originating from Shaolin’s ’Coiling Dragon Skill’ and Wudang’s ’Pure Yang Shield’. The former is a Soft Groin Skill, requiring the contraction of the Yang into the belly, while the latter is a Hard Qigong, practicing an invisible Pure Yang Qi to protect the crotch."

Lu Chenzhou looked hesitant.

Seeing this, Chen Jiu added,

"I know you’ve got a foundation in Buddhist Martial Arts, and I too am a secular disciple of Buddhism. However, I recommend the ’Pure Yang Shield’ from Wudang instead of the ’Coiling Dragon Skill’, which is meant for monks who have completely renounced worldly connections. Before perfection of this skill, one must not break the vow of celibacy, and the same goes after perfection; once broken, all your Cross Training skills will collapse, akin to training in vain, posing a higher risk."

Lu Chenzhou, passionate about Martial Arts, had no thoughts on romantic relationships, but this type of Cross Training, which directly fails with the loss of virginity, truly wasn’t suitable.

Sooner or later, once Martial Arts were perfected, he would want to leave a descendant to both pass on his skills and simply continue his bloodline.

Lu Chenzhou said,

"Thank you, teacher. Do you know how to perform the ’Pure Yang Shield’?"

Chen Jiu replied,

"I do not, and throughout the Jiangnan Region, probably only one person does."

"Lufang, the senior?"

"I’m not sure about Lufang... The person I’m talking about is the Unbreakable Taoist."

"Wang Gang’s master."

"This person specializes in Wudang Hard Qigong and is just a step away from becoming a Grandmaster. If you want to learn the ’Pure Yang Shield’, try to find a way with him. You might ask Lufang first; if Lufang knows it, you might manage to learn through some Vajra Points."

"I understand."

Having experienced the benefits of the Iron Crotch Skill, Lu Chenzhou still wanted to continue training his crotch, at least to have one Cross Training True Skill to protect it and reach the impermeable state of the Vajra Unbreakable Golden Body.

...

Back at home,

Lu Chenzhou applied Mingyu Ointment externally to his body, where a mysterious golden power surged into his limbs and body, filling every injury and gap fluidly, fostering growth and transformation as his battered body visibly healed.

He opened the instruction manual.

"The medicine is made using ingredients from Golden Brilliance Grass..."

Lu Chenzhou appeared enlightened.

"No wonder it’s this powerful."

He was now like a dictionary of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Though he hadn’t seen the real thing, he had loads of theoretical knowledge.

Golden Brilliance Grass, not only healing external injuries but also incorporating the power of Golden Brilliance into the body, that power significantly boosts the emergence of mysterious powers within acupoints linked to Cross Training, like a[1] proxy upgrade of training speed, rapidly enhancing the Golden Film.

"If only I could get my hands on a Golden Brilliance Grass directly."

The next day.

When Lu Chenzhou woke up, he looked at the bedding.

Golden Light, scattered all over.

"What’s this?"

Lu Chenzhou reached out to pinch a piece of the Golden Light, which still had skin textures.

"Golden Body Perfection, is shedding really happening?"

He immediately called Chen Jiu.

On the phone, Chen Jiu said,

"Relax, it’s normal. The quicker the shedding, the faster the Perfection."

Lu Chenzhou picked up these pieces of shed skin, like gold leaf, and threw them into the fire. Despite the high temperatures, the golden skin remained intact for a while before finally burning.

This made Lu Chenzhou even more expectant of the effects of Golden Body Perfection.

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Lu Chenzhou’s ’Tiger Roar Mountain River Fist’ had already become proficient, rapidly advancing towards mastery. At this pace, he might achieve Perfection in three to four months.

Looking at it now, practicing third-rate Martial Arts truly wasn’t cost-effective.

As for the Golden Body Skill, shedding was still ongoing.

However, recently, the amount of skin peeling had decreased.

Those dead skins, Lu Chenzhou had burned them.

Chen Jiu mentioned he had kept his own shed skin.

Lu Chenzhou didn’t have such a preference.

During this time, Lu Chenzhou hadn’t gone out to meet people.

The shedding made him look somewhat grotesque, resembling a leopard with patches of black and gold, occasionally oozing blood, which then scabbed.

...

January 11.

Lu Chenzhou’s shedding day ten.

He stood in front of the mirror, looking rather haggard.

He hadn’t slept for several days.

The itchy sensation in the last few days of shedding was more unbearable than severe pain.

Not even the Heavenly Pile had been this tough.

Fortunately, it was all over now.

In the mirror, his body looked ordinary bronze. A thought passed, and copious golden liquid flowed from his pores, covering everywhere except the protected areas.

The surface of the golden liquid shimmered like a lake, layer upon layer. At a fierce glance, Lu Chenzhou appeared to be clad in a layer of thick, ancient golden liquid scale armor.

"Eighteen Arhats Golden Body Skill, Perfection."
