The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

Chapter 9: Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Physique Transformation

Between Renjia Town and Yizhuang, there is a grove of tall trees.

The trees here are very large and have lush foliage; some are even over 50 years old.

Zhao Yi randomly chose a spot and went up the path into the woods.

"It's time for the prize draw!"

Zhao Yi was quite satisfied with the last five-pull.

This time, he plans to do two 10-pulls right away!

He had a total of 21076 silver dollars, which, according to the current system pricing, was 1000 silver dollars per transaction.

That's enough for 21 extractions.

However, a single draw would be a waste, so Zhao Yi decided to just do two 2-draws.

The remaining thousand-plus dollars will be saved for later.

"System, give me a lottery draw!"

In an instant, the 2 silver dollars in the wooden box in the carriage disappeared.

[Ding! Starting a 10-pull!]

[Ding! Starting a 10-pull!]

[Ding, congratulations host, you have gained +1 to Constitution] [Ding, congratulations host, you have gained +1 to Constitution] [Ding, congratulations host, you have gained triple critical hit and +3 to Constitution]...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first 10-pull! You have gained an additional +1 to Constitution.]

The system quickly completed two 10-pulls.

Because of the three triple rewards and the extra 1 point of constitution, I gained a total of 27 points of constitution.

"So refreshing!"

Zhao Yi immediately became excited.

Last time, I only added 7 points to my constitution, and I was already so much stronger.

With a current increase of 27 points, it's likely to become even more formidable!

"That 2 silver dollars was well spent!"

However, before Zhao Yi could investigate what changes had occurred in his physique due to this sudden increase of 27 points, the system's cold, mechanical voice rang in his ears once again.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your physique has broken through 30 points, and you are undergoing your first transformation.]

boom!

In an instant, a terrifying power was born from the darkness and surged into Zhao Yi's body.

This power is like the ocean, instantly expanding the meridians in the body and making them more resilient.

This power, like magma, tempers the bones within the body, making them as hard as iron.

Zhao Yi was immediately jolted, feeling as if he were carrying a small mountain on his back.

The carriage immediately made a cracking sound, as it was almost crushed by the weight.

His bones creaked and clanged, as if every inch of them were being hammered and forged.

It seemed as if it was about to transform from ordinary mortal bones into refined iron.

Even beneath the skin, a faint bronze glow began to appear.

His originally slender body has become tall and robust.

His excess fat melted away like snow, revealing increasingly defined muscle lines.

A moment later, all changes ceased.

"This is what they call a body of steel and bronze?!"

Zhao Yi stared at his own transformation in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"I feel like I'm terrifyingly strong!"

He clenched his fists, and his entire body creaked and groaned.

A powerful force, strong enough to easily tear apart tigers and leopards, permeated every part of his body.

It seems like they have inexhaustible power!

Zhao Yi couldn't resist and jumped off the carriage, landing in the woods.

He raised his fist and slammed it into a large tree next to him.

The old tree, as thick as a thigh, snapped with a loud bang.

The fracture site was cratered with a terrifying, explosive-looking fist-shaped crater.

"So strong!"

The power of this punch was enough to shatter not only the old tree in front of them, but even a piece of bluestone.

Moreover, when Zhao Yi threw the punch, there wasn't a single scratch on his palm.

"Looks like he really does have skin of copper and bones of iron!"

As Zhao Yi felt the power flowing through his body, an excited expression appeared on his face.

At that moment, he was practically invulnerable.

"I just don't know if ordinary rifles and pistols can penetrate my armor."

"I wonder who's stronger, the one who's stronger, the one who's invulnerable to blades and bullets!"

"And he's already this strong with only 38 points of physique, what would he be like with 380 points?"

I used to have some complaints about the system's binding on my physique, but now I find it really appealing.

In particular, Zhao Yi noticed that the excess fat on his abdomen had disappeared.

Instead, he has eight hard, rock-hard abs.

"Of all the muscles on the human body, the abdominal muscles are the hardest to train, especially well-defined abdominal muscles. They can't be achieved through training alone; you also need talent."

"Some people can practice their whole lives and still not achieve this neat appearance, and some only have six pieces."

"I added a few extra points, and now I have eight hard abs."

"This is absolutely awesome!"

For a moment, Zhao Yi subconsciously touched his abs and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

[Host] Zhao Yi

Lifespan: 20/120 (years)

[Level] LV.2 (15/100)

[Constitution] 38 (5 for an average adult male)

[Bone Structure] 1 (Average value for an average adult male)

[Soul] 6 (5 for a normal adult male)

[Comprehension] 1 (Average value for an average adult male)

Note 1: Temporarily convertible wealth (dollars, gold).

Note 2: You can only redeem it after accumulating 1 strands of merit.

Note 3: You can choose to draw a single draw, a five-draw, or a ten-draw (a five-draw has a chance to trigger double rewards, and a ten-draw has a chance to trigger triple rewards).

"System upgraded to LV.2!"

Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Upgrading the system level means that the cost of future lottery draws will also increase significantly.

"A chance to win a prize costs 2000 yuan or 2 strands of merit?"

"Furthermore, to advance to level 3, you need to participate in the lottery 100 times!"

Zhao Yi felt a sense of helplessness.

The conditions have been raised, but the benefits are also greater; you will receive 2 points of physique each time you draw a prize.

"His lifespan has increased again, reaching a staggering 120 years."

Keep up the good work!

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yi immediately climbed onto the carriage and headed towards the mortuary.

Although Old Ma was not young, he was still fast and soon returned to the mortuary.

"Wow, junior brother, you bought a horse-drawn carriage?"

Wen Cai was immediately excited when he saw Zhao Yi park the carriage outside the mortuary.

"Yes, it's just for temporary transportation. Otherwise, we have to walk a long way to get to town every time. It will also make it easier to get to the provincial capital in the future," Zhao Yi said.

In reality, what he wanted most was a magical artifact that could provide transportation.

For example, flying on a sword, flying boats, and other magical artifacts.

However, according to the "True Explanation of Maoshan", one needs to control the flow of qi to fly or refine a flying artifact.

You need to be at least at the Celestial Master level to do it.

"However, the 'True Explanation of Maoshan' contains some unorthodox techniques that can also be used. As long as one enters the Dao realm, one can perform them."

"Unfortunately, Master most likely doesn't know such unorthodox techniques."

Zhao Yi recalled that it seemed Uncle Nine did not possess such methods.

"Perhaps Shi Jian has it, but it's not easy for him to ask."

"Well, these things are all about fate. For now, having Old Ma as my mode of transportation is enough."

He stopped thinking about these things, untied the old horse from the carriage, led it into the mortuary, fed it some hay and water, and then began his cultivation.

The fodder was a three-day supply that was given away when the carriage was purchased.

Two days later, Zhao Yi was going to town to trade with the comprador Wu and buy some fodder.

"The Dao is originally without form, yet it condenses emptiness to become reality; the spirit is originally without direction, yet it responds and transforms through interaction. The Great Cavern is the mysterious capital of the Supreme Clarity, the abyss of all spirits, the root of heaven and earth, and the spiritual dwelling of the human body..."

Zhao Yi took out the "True Scripture of Maoshan Great Cave" and began to read it carefully.

However, this scripture was extremely profound and difficult for Zhao Yi to read.

Several hours passed in a flash, and even when Uncle Jiu returned in the evening, Zhao Yi still couldn't figure it out.

"No wonder Wencai and Qiusheng have been cultivating for more than ten years but have not yet entered the Dao."

"Cultivating the Dao is really not that easy; it truly depends on talent!"

Zhao Yi was also somewhat helpless.

"It's time to give the gift to Uncle Nine!"

He immediately got up and walked out of the room, just as Uncle Nine walked over.

"Master, I..."

"Ayi, you..."
