  PS: The number of recommended votes has increased a lot, thank you all for your support!

  Dark clouds surge forward, strong winds howl.

  "Do you really want me to fight with all my might?" On the desolate and isolated cliff, a figure in white clothes, Xu Jing, stood upright, her stature not tall, her build not robust, looking even somewhat delicate, yet no matter how fiercely the wild wind blew, it could not make her budge an inch, as if she were a statue that had withstood thousands of years without toppling, majestic and awe-inspiring.

  Ye Chen nodded, "I've been practicing a martial art that requires immense pressure to advance, so I want to use your hand to temper myself."

  What he said is the Jade Tempering and Body Strengthening Technique. This auxiliary technique had been cultivated to the third level a long time ago, but it has never been broken through to reach the fourth level of Shattered Jade Rebirth. These days have been spent in deep thought, only to feel that it's difficult to enter the fourth level by oneself, and one must borrow others' strength to stimulate one's own potential, so as to achieve cultivation in a short period of time.

  "In that case, I won't be polite." Xu Jing saw that Ye Chen was serious and although she found it strange what kind of martial arts he had practiced, she wasn't a nosy person and wouldn't ask questions she shouldn't.

  "Overseas Demon-Subduing!"

  Xu Jing took a step forward with her right foot, and the gravel within several meters around her all floated up. Before anyone could see how fast she was, she had already arrived in front of Ye Chen, and a fist wrapped in intense golden light was smashing out straight at him.

  Ye Chen felt the explosive force contained in this fist, not daring to slack off, and urged the Quan Yu Strong Body Technique with all his might. A layer of jade-like luster appeared on the surface of his skin, and then his body shook violently as his blood and energy circulated to their limits, and he also burst out a punch.

  Clang!

  Two fists collided, a powerful shockwave rippled out, the ground cracked open with several dark and deep fissures, winding like snakes, spreading everywhere.

  "It turns out that there really is a strength of over 10,000 catties." Ye Chen's arm went numb and his ears rang as he almost fainted from the exertion, since he hadn't used any martial arts techniques, otherwise it wouldn't have had the effect of tempering.

  Xu Jing didn't intend to hold back, one punch missed, and a second punch followed closely.

  "Overturning mountains and seas!"

  A concentrated golden light accompanied by the sound of mountains collapsing and seas churning, struck Ye Chen's temple from the left side. The fist had not yet arrived, but the wind generated by the punch had already reached him, swift as lightning and powerful as a mountain.

  Collapse!

  Ye Chen stretched out his hand to block this punch, and his left fist emerged from his waist, starting a counterattack.

  "Alright, I'll use the power of the Seventh Layer of the Golden Lotus Technique for three days." A punch shook open Ye Chen's fist, and a circle of illusory golden flames appeared behind Xu Jing's head. His entire body was engulfed in golden true energy, combined with a powerful force of over 10,000 kilograms, exuding an aura that could kill gods and Buddhas.

  Ye Chen didn't retreat or dodge, and instead burst out laughing: "Sister, go ahead and make your move!"

  Xu Jing's eyes flashed with cold light, and with a twist of her foot, the surface of the cliff cracked open. Immediately, she launched a pair of fists, one left and one right, unleashing the moves she used to counter Chi Wei.

  Card scratch.

  The jade-like luster on Yedu's body surface collapsed and disappeared, his sturdy and towering physique retreated ten steps back, each step heavy, making a loud thud.

  "Alright, come on!" Re-circulating the Jade Tempering Strong Body Technique, Ye Chen ignored the bloody taste in his throat and charged straight at Xu Jing.

  "Fall back!"

  This exchange was to let Ye Chen break through, no fancy moves were needed, only a solid and fierce collision, so Xu Jing's monotonous punch sent Ye Chen retreating ten steps once again.

  "Come again!"

  Boom!

  "Come again!"

  Later on, Ye Chen's seven orifices started bleeding, and the jade-like luster on his body surface dimmed without any light, with signs of extinction at any time.

  But the more so, Ye Chen's will to fight became even more intense, his body's vital energy surged, and even the mountain wind couldn't extinguish it. His upright body was unyielding, like a spear that stood straight, sharp and unmatched, as if a rough metal had been polished countless times, bursting forth with a sharp edge that could split gold and pierce stone.

  Xu Jingxin was amazed in her heart, wondering what kind of skill Ye Chen had cultivated. Without using any martial techniques, he had withstood over a dozen of her punches without falling down, and instead showed signs of transformation. Moreover, his will to fight and spirit were truly like those of an extraordinary swordsman, gradually revealing their sharpness.

  Heart knows that the fierce material is still not enough, Xu Jing's body has more golden true energy, and a larger halo appears outside the halo on the back of his head, which is the manifestation of using the eighth heavy Taiji Tian of the three-day Jin Jian Gong.

  One punch was thrown out, and the mountain wind stopped. The air was still, but only the cliff could not withstand the force, and it shook violently.

  "All demons fall!"

  The Demon-Subduing Fist is a top-tier martial skill for humans, but the final move's power is infinitely close to that of a low-tier divine skill. However, it's also quite troublesome to execute, requiring the activation of the Three-Day Golden Stoppage Technique to its eighth stage; otherwise, one would have to endure a powerful backlash and suffer some minor injuries. The principle behind this is similar to Ye Chen's Overlord Fist, but not as extreme.

  The vast golden light was like a flying waterfall, bringing with it an aura that pierced through the mountain peaks and charged straight at Ye Chen.

  Pfft!

  The jade-like luster couldn't last for a moment, and it collapsed instantly. In an instant, the leaves felt the cloud sea on both sides rushing forward quickly, his throat was sweet, and a large amount of blood spurted out, turning into a diffuse bloody fog.

  The rapidly moving sea of clouds came to a standstill, Ye Chen was deeply trapped behind the mountain, unable to move even a single finger, feeling weak and dizzy.

  With a bitter smile, Ye Chen weakly said: "Sister, are you trying to kill me?"

  "A stubborn disease requires a strong medicine to cure, and it's so troublesome. Walking in front of Ye Chen, Xu Jing opened Ye Chen's lower jaw, flicked her finger and threw in a dark red pellet, saying: "This is the Tempering Body Pill that I often use to cultivate my inner energy, it's very effective, you shouldn't move for now, or you might hurt your tendons and leave behind future troubles."

  The next few sentences Ye Chen did not hear, the Quan Ti Dan had just entered his throat, and it had already dissolved into a medicinal liquid that flowed down, with the stomach as the center, the medicinal power gradually penetrated the five organs and six viscera, the body's hundred pulses, and finally invaded the bones, continuously expelling the impurities within.

  Black impurities ooze from the surface of Ye Dun's body, emitting a foul odor that fills the air.

  It was unknown how long ago, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, bright and piercing like a cold electric current, or like the gleam of a sword, sharp with penetrating power.

  "Smells so bad, go wash up quickly!" Slender and clean hands pressed against the mountain body, Xu Jing urged the dark energy to spit out, shaking out the leaf dust.

  He sniffed his body and indeed smelled very bad. Ye Chen said with embarrassment, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your help. In the future, if there's anything I can do, I will never decline."

  "Let's go, you want to suffocate me." Xu Jing didn't have much expression.

  ……

  A week has passed.

  That night, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on his bed, continuously circulating the Jade Tempering Strong Body Technique.

  The luster on the surface of jade is sometimes bright and sometimes dim, shining unsteadily. At times, it shines brightly, making the whole person seem like a jade carving, while at other times, it becomes dull and lusterless, as if it were an ordinary stone.

  Bang!

  A faint, inaudible sound emanated, the jade-like luster shattered inch by inch, re-fusing into Ye Chen's body, and then exhaled outward, giving rise to a frosty white aura that seemed to be many times harder than before, with a hint of diamond-like flavor.

  At this moment, the fourth move of Tempering Jade and Strengthening Body is completed, Shattered Jade Rebirth Cultivation is successful!
