"I'm finally at the Third Stage of Skin Tempering!" Shi Li said as he jumped in joy.
As this happened, the qi barrier surrounding him disappeared as the purpose of the overseers were finally done. They gave congratulatory looks at Shi Li before leaving.
Shi Shisi went towards Shi Li and gave his congratulatory remarks with a smile. "You've broken through a new stage just a few days after the tournament? I have no other words but just congratulations!"
Shi Li laughed with glee as he didn't expect to break through the Third Stage this early. According to his predictions, it would at least take him a week after the tournament for him to reach the Third Stage.
"I'm just lucky, that's all," Shi Li felt humble after hearing Shi Shisi's words.
"Lucky or not, you're still one step closer towards a bigger path of cultivation. What are you planning to do next?" Shi Shisi instantly changed the topic as he felt that there was nothing more to be said after congratulating.
Shi Li shrugged his shoulders since he somewhat forgot his original goal. "I don't know really. I guess I'll try to increase my comprehension level in my techniques and also try to reach the Bone Tempering realm as fast as I can."
Shi Shisi wasn't expecting that answer from Shi Li. "Don't you have a set plan in your cultivation or something?"
Shi Li shook his head. "Not really. I just cultivated techniques of the lava element before this and got Ultra-Low grade affinities thanks to it."
Shi Shisi was dumbfounded after hearing Shi Li's statement. He couldn't help but get closer and grip Shi Li by his shoulders.
"Are you brushing off Ultra-Low grade affinities like it's nothing? It's still an elemental affinity! People would die to get one in their life, and you got two!" Shi Shisi complained.
Shi Li still had an oblivious look on his face as he looked at Shi Shisi. Shi Shisi saw this and loosened his grip as he sighed.
"You know what? I'll let you in on a big secret. Do you know about the Year-End Tournament that's going to happen in this town?"
"Hm?" Shi Li raised his eyebrow. "Year-End Tournament? What's that?"
Shi Shisi gave an 'I knew it' look before explaining. "The Year-End Tournament is the biggest tournament held within our town with three great clans presiding over the tournament, our clan included."
"They say that the rewards given in this tournament is multiple times better compared to the tournament we attended a few days ago."
"Some say that the top 3 winners even get a chance to learn an incomplete Low Earth grade technique from the tournament's archives!"
"Incomplete Low Earth grade technique?" Shi Li's mind blew. Even if it was incomplete, it was still multiple times stronger than a Human grade technique. Not just that, Shi Li was even more excited because...
'I wonder if the interface can fix it up. It fixed the [Phoenix Rebirth] technique into what it is today, so I guess it could fix a technique like that as well?' Shi Li let his imaginations run wild.
Shi Shisi grinned as he saw Shi Li's excited look. "There's just one requirement though."
"And that is to be at the Organ Tempering realm."
Crack.
Shi Li felt as if his world was breaking apart. Organ Tempering realm? He hasn't even reached the Bone Tempering realm yet!
Shi Li felt disappointed, but after a while, a fire was ignited inside him, making him look at Shi Shisi straight in the eye. "If I was able to reach the Organ Tempering realm before then, I'd be able to enter right?"
Shi Shisi was taken aback by Shi Li's question but he nodded. "Yep. If you reach the Organ Tempering realm, then you're eligible to enter the tournament."
Shi Li's eyes lit up like the dazzling sun. He bent his knees as he dashed towards his courtyard, leaving a message to Shi Shisi before he left.
"If that's the case, then I'll do just that!"
Shi Shisi chuckled as he received the message.
"Let's see how far you can go..."
"Shi Li."
...
Shi clan, Shi Li's courtyard.
Shi Li hurriedly calm his emotions down as he sat cross-legged inside his courtyard. Even though he wanted to reach the Organ Tempering realm in the shortest amount of time, he knew that he should build a solid foundation first before doing so or else it'll just become useless.
"And that starts with the third stage of the [Refined Skin Tempering Foundation Manual]," Shi Li muttered.
Ding!
Coincidentally, a notification screen appeared in front of Shi Li as an influx of information entered his mind.
~~~~~~~~
User has reached the cultivation realm of D-3.
The technique [Triacontadigon Wind Gavotte] has been changed to [Serenade of the Nine Heavens].
- Nonpareil Eye Interface
~~~~~~~~
"Hmm...[Serenade of the Nine Heavens] huh..." Shi Li closed his eyes as he visualized the movements of this new cultivation technique.
The first thing he noticed was that there were only nine movements in this technique, which could possibly be the reason behind the phrase 'Nine Heavens' found in the technique.
"I was expecting the third stage to have 64 moves rather than 9 because the first stage has 16 moves, the second stage has 32, then it's highly logical for the third stage to have 64 moves. I wonder what the creators were smoking while they wrote this," Shi Li muttered.
He continued to examine further and saw that each move had the same effect as 4 moves in the previous stage, it increased the power of a technique by onefold.
Cracking his fingers, Shi Li stood up with determination until suddenly...
"Oh? You've reached the Third Stage this early?"
Shi Li instantly became vigilant as he heard a voice somewhere in his courtyard. He turned his head towards the direction of the voice and let out a sigh of relief.
"It was just you, Senior Yan," Shi Li wryly smiled. "What is Senior doing here?"
Senior Yan laughed lightly as he looked at Shi Li.
"Isn't it obvious? I've come here to fulfill my promise?"
"Promise?" Shi Li tilted his head before understanding what Senior Yan meant. "You're telling me that you're going to teach me now?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do," Senior Yan nodded. "What? You think this Senior isn't good enough to teach you?"
Shi Li waved his hand as he shook his head multiple times. "No, no, no, that's not it! Well...why now Senior Yan?"
Senior Yan looked at Shi Li and grinned. "That's because about a month from now, you'll enter a special place that most of our clan members have never entered before. This place is the Shi Trial Tower."
Shi Li felt a sense of awe and reverence after hearing the name, but this feeling was change with a feeling of confusion not long after. He looked at Senior Yan awkwardly and asked.
"What's the Shi Trial Tower?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"I'm finally at the Third Stage of Skin Tempering!" Shi Li said as he jumped in joy.
As this happened, the qi barrier surrounding him disappeared as the purpose of the overseers were finally done. They gave congratulatory looks at Shi Li before leaving.
