The Strength Clan's worship of strength had reached a fever pitch.
Verging on madness.
Within their clan's secret inheritance, there were detailed records of body tempering, the most prominent viewpoint being "one strength can overcome ten skills" and "proving the Dao with strength," becoming the Strength Clan's god-like ideal.
Tai Tan clearly remembered that the highest mystery of body tempering in the inheritance was to first temper the body's muscles, tendons, and bones to perfection.
In the Strength Clan, you could see that everyone had an exaggerated physique, even more robust than those fitness enthusiasts of later generations, and all of them were genuine.
After training the muscles to perfection, they would begin the next stage of cultivation, which was to completely transform and allow themselves to surpass the limits of mortals.
Shrinking the exaggerated muscles that had been trained before!
This was an extremely painful process. Shrinking the muscles was not stopping the exercise; on the contrary, it was to increase the intensity of the exercise, allowing the body to gradually undergo Nirvana under ultra-high loads!
Nirvana and then reshape!
Repeating this process, the muscles would eventually appear smaller, but the density would increase, and the arrangement of tendons and bones would approach perfection, and ultimately, they could harvest a perfect body.
Called the "Godly Body."
The Elders of the Strength Clan all knew this secret, which was why the Strength Clan's worship of strength had reached a maddening point.
The reason why the Strength Clan was subdued by the Clear Sky Sect was not only because the Clear Sky Sect was powerful, but more importantly, the Clear Sky Sect's body tempering methods were more advanced than those of the Strength Clan!
But now, Tai Tan was dumbfounded.
The Elders of the Strength Clan even began to doubt their lives.
Lin Xiao was naked, his skin fair and lustrous, with a suet jade-like luster, his muscles not as exaggerated and robust as those of the Strength Clan, and not even considered large.
But the distribution and arrangement, the perfect shape, and the just-right elasticity all indicated that terrifying explosive power was contained beneath this perfect body!
Lin Xiao's muscle density and tendon and bone strength were definitely far superior to those of the same realm!
Even surpassing several realms!
After the shock in Tai Tan's heart dissipated, it turned into deep thought. His original anger and stubbornness had all melted away at this time, replaced by an almost devout fanaticism!
The kind that was very perverted!
...
Lin Xiao clenched his fist, he felt like he was a "Living Volcano" now, beneath the seemingly silent exterior, it contained shocking power.
His body strength had increased by a full five times.
Not just strength, including speed, endurance, burst...
There was a big taboo for amplification Soul Skills, that is, they cannot be stacked excessively. There were bloody cases of Soul Masters who hunted too many amplification Soul Skills and opened them all at once during battle.
The end result was that before the fight even started, the body couldn't bear it and exploded before it had time to discuss it with the brain.
And Lin Xiao's five-fold increase at the Soul Ancestor realm had far surpassed the limits of ordinary Soul Masters!
Not only did he not feel that his body was burdened.
Instead, he felt his condition was better than ever before!
Again and again, Evil Fire Body Tempering, Nirvana rebirth.
Lin Xiao took the Phoenix evolution as his foundation, used six years of desperate effort, and used the Nine Hearted Begonia and Immortal Herb as external aids, he had already been reborn!
His body was flawless, like pure colored glaze; his muscles and bones were close to perfection, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Lin Xiao exerted force from his feet, and then his whole person rushed out like a cannonball, arriving in front of Tai Nuo in an instant. In the other's frightened eyes, Lin Xiao smashed a straight punch.
Tai Nuo actually used his Fifth Soul Skill, and under multiple power boosts, passively exchanged blows with Lin Xiao.
The two exchanged hundreds of punches in a short minute.
Until Tai Nuo cried out in pain and fell to his knees.
Lin Xiao slammed a punch hard on the ground beside him, actually smashing a deep pit in the ground, and the entire reception room shook, as if it were about to collapse.
Tai Nuo's arms hung weakly by his sides, swaying slightly, with blood gurgling from them, actually broken inch by inch, basically crippled.
Well, unless a Nine Hearted Begonia is found in time for treatment.
But whether to treat him or not depends on Ye Qingxian's mood and Lin Xiao's attitude...
Tai Nuo was ashamed and lowered his head deeply.
"Dad, I've disgraced the clan!"
"No, it's not shameful to lose. On the contrary, being able to fight a Godly Body may be your most glorious record in the future."
Seeing that Tai Nuo's injuries were serious, Titan was not angry or sad, but just told his clansmen to take him down to stabilize his injuries first.
Lin Xiao crossed his arms and said indifferently:
"I won the bet, right?"
Titan said in a deep voice:
"A bet is a bet, there's nothing else to say!"
"But before that, please allow young master Lin Xiao to agree to one thing."
Lin Xiao:?
He felt that Titan's head was a little pointy.
Then let me ask you...
Why should I agree to your conditions after winning?
In Lin Xiao's surprised gaze, Titan came to him and suddenly knelt heavily on the ground, startling Lin Xiao to take a step back, and Sword Douluo almost didn't hold down the Seven Kill Sword in his hand!
Both of them looked at Titan in astonishment.
Not understanding what this guy was up to.
But something even more abstract was coming.
Following Titan's kneeling, a group of Elders from the Strength Clan also knelt down, and even pulled those beside them who didn't know what was going on to kneel with them.
Lin Xiao suddenly felt like an emperor.
Sword Douluo was no longer calm.
At his age, it was the first time he had the urge to swear:
Damn it, you guys are kneeling just because Lin Xiao fought Tai Nuo? I admit he's a bit awesome for his age, but this old man's Seven Kill Sword can chop from the entrance to the exit of your Strength Clan, and wiping you out is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, do you understand?
Even more confused than him was Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao had already begun to think:
Is there something wrong with the Strength Clan's cultivation method, so their brains don't work well? After all, their muscle training is indeed a bit exaggerated, and their pointy heads are not just for show...
Titan's eyes burst out with fanaticism:
"We, the Strength Clan, are willing to follow our master!"
"From now on, we will obey the master's orders!"
Lin Xiao directly refused.
He felt this was too abnormal. If a dog that used to bark at you suddenly wags its tail and comes up with a smile, what would your first reaction be?
This dog must be harboring evil intentions, wanting to bite this young master!
Seeing Lin Xiao refuse, Titan was so anxious that his face turned red, and he kowtowed three times heavily on the ground, earnestly saying:
"Please, master, do not refuse!"
"From now on, our Strength Clan is willing to serve you!"
Lin Xiao was a little impatient.
"I said I don't need it. First, let me see that Undying Fire! It's just a treasured item for inheritance, is it worth being so reluctant?"
Titan swore an oath:
"I can offer that treasured item to the master now!"
"But please, master, be sure to accept the allegiance of our Strength Clan!"
Does this Strength Clan have a disease?
Their heads are pointy beyond measure!
There's one more chapter, to be released within 20 minutes.
