Chapter 5 Second Bone Tempering
In the evening, Lu Hao returned home. He had slaughtered 60 pigs that day. It wasn't that Lu Hao was slow at killing them, but rather that the transportation speed there was just like that—an average of one pig arrived every five minutes.
If too many animals are slaughtered at once, it will cause big problems in the subsequent processes, as too much will lead to spoilage.
In the evening, after having dinner with my mother.
Lu Hao explained that he would be breaking through tonight and asked his mother to watch over him. After all, as a fifth-grade martial artist, his mother could intervene in time if anything happened.
Upon entering the training room, Lu Hao glanced at the control panel.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 179/179 calories+]
[Mental Strength: 269/269 Hz+]
Storage space: 1 cubic meters
Kill Points: 232
Lu Hao is currently at his peak, and it's the perfect time for him to break through.
Lu Hao glanced at his mother, nodded to her, swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill, and then began to practice standing meditation while circulating the "Tempering Method".
Then focus your attention on the plus sign next to the health and mana value on the panel.
[Spend 100 kill points to increase maximum health by 1 point?]

As soon as Lu Hao's consciousness stirred, he felt countless streams of blood and qi surging through him, and there was a gate blocking his way. As long as he could pass through this gate, he could undergo a second bone tempering.
Bai Qiuyao, standing to the side, looked at Lu Hao, who was practicing standing meditation, with a worried expression. In her right hand, she tightly gripped a jade bottle containing a Life-Returning Pill, which was worth over 600 million on the market. If Lu Hao failed to break through, this pill could restore him to his original state.
However, Bai Qiuyao cared more about her son's heart. A true martial artist must have his own invincible aura in order to break through to the high-level grandmaster.
If we fail this time, it will plant a seed that might prevent us from achieving perfect harmony of essence and blood later on, thus hindering our breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.
Lu Hao could feel how powerful this force of qi and blood was, and in theory, his meridians should not be able to withstand such a powerful force.
However, for some reason, this energy did not damage my meridians. It seems that this is the power of the system.
An hour has passed.
When Lu Hao activated the Tempering Technique for the fourth time
Suddenly, Lu Hao felt the barrier blocking him break through, and his maximum blood energy began to increase.
His bones began to move, and his flesh trembled. Lu Hao, who had already undergone one bone tempering, was overjoyed, because this meant that his second bone tempering had begun.
On the surface of the skin, tiny bits of black, foul-smelling blood were squeezed out, and impurities from the body were being expelled.
Lu Hao dared not delay and quickly began practicing standing meditation, as this was the best time for it to be effective.
Bai Qiuyao, who was standing to the side, put down her hand as she watched blood begin to seep from Lu Hao's body. She could see that the blood being discharged contained many impurities.
This means that Lu Hao has indeed succeeded and has begun the second bone tempering. He has overcome the most difficult step. From now on, even if he lies down, his blood and qi will automatically temper all his bones once more.
Seeing that her youngest son had also reached the time for his second bone tempering, Bai Qiuyao couldn't help but think of Tianbai, who had also undergone a second bone tempering.
If the underground cave didn't exist, their path ahead would have been smooth sailing.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
If it weren't for Hao'er, they might have stormed into the Demon City Underground Cave long ago upon hearing the news.
Bai Qiuyao couldn't help but be lost in thought. Martial artists may appear invincible, but only they know the pain in their hearts.
The underground caves should be destroyed.
Half an hour later, Lu Hao had turned into a "black man," with not a single clean spot on his body from the outside.
Lu Hao stopped practicing stance training and the "Tempering Method." The second bone tempering was completed. Next, he needed to increase his Qi and blood until it reached 199, then perform the third bone tempering, or break through to become a martial artist.
Lu Hao immediately opened the panel to check it.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 120/187 calories+]
[Mental Strength: 170/279 Hz+]
Storage space: 1 cubic meters
Kill Points: 132
The effect was amazing; after the second bone tempering, the upper limit of Qi and blood increased by 8 calories, and mental strength increased by 10 Hz.
My Qi and Blood limit has increased to 187. I'm only 12 cards away from reaching the limit for the second Bone Tempering. Once that happens, I can find a way to break through and undergo the third Bone Tempering.
The biggest advantage of the second bone tempering isn't in that, but in that it tempers all the bones once. Now, all 206 bones in Lu Hao's body have been tempered by 20%.
The speed will be greatly accelerated in the subsequent lower-grade bone tempering, especially the 20% tempering of the skull, which means that the skull tempering will be accelerated when it reaches the seventh grade.
Therefore, Lu Hao will not directly break through to the martial artist level through a second bone tempering. With the help of the panel, he will definitely need to temper his bones three times before breaking through.
The bonus from a 30% increase in bone tempering and the resulting improvement in subsequent cultivation will be immeasurable.
Lu Hao tried using kill points to increase his maximum health, and the result was an increase. It takes 50 kill points to increase one point of health.
It seems that the previous breakthrough was due to breaking through a bottleneck, which required more kill points, while normal improvement requires fewer kill points.
Lu Hao looked up, smiled at his mother, and shook his arm.
"Mom, look, I succeeded! I've undergone a second bone tempering!"
"Yes, Hao'er, you succeeded," Bai Qiuyao said with a smile.
"I'll go wash up first, otherwise I'll be covered in blood and filth."
As Lu Hao spoke, he walked towards the washroom. He was covered in blood and felt sticky, with a strong stench of blood. If it weren't for the fact that he had to practice stance training during the second bone tempering process, he would have been unable to stand it.
"Okay, go wash up first, and we'll talk about it later if you find anything useful."
Lu Hao entered the washroom, thinking as he took a shower.
I have now taken my first step in this world. The next step is to proceed step by step, increase my qi and blood, and then temper my bones three times to reach my limit and break through to become a first-grade martial artist.
The benefits of the second bone tempering are already so obvious. With the help of the panel, Lu Hao, who is not lacking in talent, naturally wants to undergo the third bone tempering.
Lu Hao remembered that the difficulty of the three bone tempering processes lay in nourishing his qi and blood to the limit of 199. This step alone required a lot of time. Don't underestimate Lu Hao, because he had killing points that made it easy for him to improve.
Most people would need to stay here for half a year, and would also need to buy elixirs to help increase their qi and blood, which would cost several million.
Even after that, breaking through the barrier might not be possible, let alone undergoing three rounds of bone tempering. Therefore, the limit for most people is two rounds of bone tempering.
As for the three-times bone tempering, Lu Hao remembered that in the original work, only Xie Lei of the Magic Martial Arts School had it, but he had already been worn down by the three-times bone tempering and his cultivation was too slow. After that, there was the protagonist Fang Ping, who naturally succeeded in the three-times bone tempering with the help of the system.
With the help of the panel, Lu Hao could naturally undergo bone tempering three times without any problem.
I felt much lighter in the water, and every breath felt easier. It seems that the hidden benefits of removing impurities are slowly becoming apparent.
After washing up, although he hadn't fully recovered to his peak condition, Lu Hao could feel that his blood and qi were circulating more quickly and smoothly.
