WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 15: Tempered Angry 5th Layer

The summer summer months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Lin Dong continued to secretly add the red liquid from the stone talisman into Lin Xiao's medicine. Thanks to his miraculous nature, Lin Xiao's injuries had fully recovered, and his previously depressed and pale face in turn faded into oblivion.

During this period of time, Lin Dong had also achieved incredible progress in his own training. Thanks to the red liquid from the stone talisman, the itchy pain in his bones continued to increase in intensity. Lin Dong could clearly feel that amidst the itchy pain, his tenacity and strength of his body increased rapidly.

This sensation pleased Lin Dong because he knew that he was quickly advancing to the Layer 5 Tempered Body.

"Huft, huff."

In the cool and refreshing mountain cave, a shadow firmly supported his body using only his two thumbs while his feet floated from the ground surface. He only relied on the strength of his thumb to support his entire body as he moved his body up and down using his arms, what we consider to be a push-up. Sweat had already drenched his clothes, but waves of new sweat continued to trickle down to the floor, forming a giant puddle of water.

"Thud!"

Every muscle in his body was fully utilized. About half an hour later, Lin Dong finally fainted from exhaustion. As he lay on the floor, hurriedly trying to catch his breath, an overwhelming pain sensation slowly spread throughout his body.

"Sweals!"

Lin Dong clenched his teeth, as he struggled to lift his body and overcome the pain of overwhelming fatigue. Without taking off his clothes, he weakly fell into the rock pool.

As Lin Dong flopped into the rock pool, a pink bubble appeared immediately and tunneled into Lin Dong's body through his pores.

Lin Dong floated lazily in the stone pond, at the moment he only had the strength to pant. It felt as if every cell in his body was protesting against him. However, this "protest" instantly turned into greed as his cells voraciously devoured the pink liquid that entered his body.

Lin Dong closed his eyes as he enjoyed this nourishing sensation. As he stretched his body, it suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably. A sharp pain echoed from within his bones and quickly spread throughout his body.

This sudden pain caused Lin Dong to clench his jaw in pain. However, an expression of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Breakthrough!"

This sensation was exactly as Lin Dong had anticipated. His chance for a breakthrough had finally arrived!

The pain quickly spread throughout his body. It was similar to someone drilling every bone in his body at once. However, at that moment, Lin Dong could clearly feel every bone in his body gradually becoming stronger and harder!

The sharp pain went away as quickly as it arrived. In less than five minutes, the pain gradually weakened.

After the sharp pain disappeared, Lin Dong felt excited and full of energy. As he leaped out of the stone pool, he stretched his body, causing sharp cracks to sound from within. Right now, he seemed to have grown taller and looked much fitter than before.

“Pa Pa Pa Pa.

As soon as he landed, Lin Dong immediately executed the familiar Penetrating Fist movement as a series of sharp sounds bounced clearly in the mountain cave. From the faint echo, one could tell that the power behind his fist, seemed to have grown to a whole new level.

"Thump!"

After witnessing this scene, Lin Dong smirked. Just as he was about to rest, a thought appeared in his mind. Maintaining his form, he closed his eyes and tried to enjoy the mysterious sensation that flowed through his bones.

As he enjoyed the sensation, Lin Dong's body adjusted and moved along with the flow of energy flowing through his body. Even on the skin under his sleeves, small ripples began to surface.

Every muscle in his body moved in unison as waves of power surged and gathered on Lin Dong's arm.

“Pak!”

When a surge of strength reached his fist, Lin Dong's eyes suddenly opened as extremely small echoes shook out from within his body.

This echo was not loud, yet it was filled with an enormous power!

“Bang!”

Just as that strength was finally about to arrive at the tip of his fist, Lin Dong took a deep breath. Releasing a low cry, he fiercely punched the huge rock in front of him. Low echoes rang out as cracks began to spread throughout the rock. Finally, it exploded with a huge explosion.

"Some power!"

Lin Dong stared at the rubble that was once a huge rock, an expression of disbelief on his face. The strength displayed was almost comparable to a Level 3 Lower Category martial art!

"So this is the true power of the tenth echo of the Penetrating Fist!"

A while later, Lin Dong finally regained his senses. An expression of excitement appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he had executed the tenth echo properly! He now understood why it was so difficult to master the tenth echo: it had a terrifying power.

According to Lin Dong's calculations, if he were to meet Lin Hong now, he could rely on this tenth echo of Penetrating Fist to fight with the latter. Even in the Lin Family, Level 3 martial arts were rarely obtained. Plus amongst the current younger generation, no one was capable enough to learn it.

“Heh heh, Lin Hong, just wait....”.

As he recalled the vile way in which Lin Hong casually thought of Qing Tan as his, Lin Dong involuntarily clenched his fists. With a sneer, he directed his gaze towards the stone pool as his brows fused tightly together. During this period of time, he realized that the diluted red liquid effect of the stone talisman was beginning to dissipate and was now not as strong as before.

“It looks like diluted red liquid is no longer able to meet my demands. If I want to quickly advance to Layer 6 Tempered Body, I might have to use the red liquid directly. ”

The Tempered Body 6th Layer can be considered the most important checkpoint for a new practitioner at an early stage. At the 6th Layer, one could finally refine the Yuan Power Seed. Once that was achieved, one could be considered a true practitioner!

Therefore, the importance of this step cannot be ignored.

As Lin Dong's expression turned serious, he took out a transparent bottle from his sleeve. It was already half filled with the red red liquid from the stone talisman.

As he stared at the abundant amount of red-liquid, the corner of Lin Dong's mouth finally turned upwards to form a smile of satisfaction.
