Chapter 133 Breakthrough, Skin Resurfacing Success!

Only then did these men in black realize that they had been tricked by Zhao Ya just now, and they were naturally filled with shame and annoyance.

"Miss, do you want to investigate these two boys?" A man in black said coldly.

The woman shook her head, "No need, because the two of them don't have to commit such a big deal. After all, the beast tide is coming soon. I don't know how many people in Yunxiao County can survive."

Women do appreciate Zhao Ya more.

But it’s just for appreciation.

After all, to her, this Yunxiao County is almost like a remote country.

Even if Zhao Ya can make her eyes shine, she won't go to a lot of trouble for him.

The woman led her men and left.

At the same time, Zhao Ya also brought Nie Jingnian back to the county town.

"I'll keep this zerg at your place. You and I will share the cost of the bait, and the eggs will be divided equally." Nie Jingnian said first.

After this incident, Nie Jingnian was deeply impressed by Zhao Ya.

Especially the fact that he secretly poisoned the woman and her men for safety in the end made Nie Jingnian even more amazed.

He didn't even know that this rising star, who had been in the limelight recently, actually had such methods.

Therefore, before Zhao Ya could speak, he took the initiative to propose.

Zhao Ya naturally had no reason to refuse.

After agreeing on the delivery date and various trivial matters, Zhao Ya returned home.

It was already late at night.

Zui'er hasn't slept yet.

It was not until she saw Zhao Ya returning safely that she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly made arrangements to cook for Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya was indeed a little hungry.

Although dried meat can replenish the qi and blood needed by the human body, it is not a problem to eat it all the time. Daily meals are still needed.

While Zui'er was busy in the kitchen, Zhao Ya took out the small box that the woman threw over.

After opening it, there were twenty dried meat sticks inside.

Picking one up and looking at it carefully, you can see that the dried meat is red in color, and you can see the fine muscle texture. It is obviously different from the snake meat jerky and eel jerky that Zhao Ya has eaten before.

It should come from animal meat.

An alluring aroma of flesh and blood hit his face, and the seductive Zhao Ya moved his index finger.

But he still resisted the temptation and put the dried meat back.

Although it is said that Zhao Ya is now invulnerable to all poisons, for the sake of safety, Zhao Ya decided to check it carefully later and make sure it was fine before eating.

But Zhao Ya immediately remembered the fifth-grade dried meat that the woman mentioned.

Is there a detailed grade classification for this exotic animal meat jerky?

Then what grade was the dried golden-spotted black eel that I ate before?

Zhao Ya wrote down this question and prepared to inquire about it in two days.

At this time, Zui'er also prepared the food. After a delicious meal, Zui'er cleared the dishes and went to bed.

Zhao Ya began to inspect the harvest.

The first thing is of course the zerg.

Zhao Ya took out the special box and opened it carefully, and saw that the zerg was curled up and dormant inside, and its skin was no longer white, but turned gray-brown.

Zhao Ya was not too surprised by this, because he had specifically inquired about it, and found that the insect would often enter a period of stress after being caught.

It takes time to get used to it before it returns to normal.

Zhao Ya closed the box again and planned to go to the market tomorrow to buy some bait that Zerg likes to eat.

This is the foundation of your future fortune, so you must treat it with caution.

Then Zhao Yacai took out another fifth-grade dried meat. After careful inspection and confirming that there was no problem, he swallowed it.

In an instant, Zhao Ya felt as if a qi and blood bomb had exploded in his belly. Countless qi and blood overflowed out, and the quality was very high.

That is to say, Zhao Ya has this subtle talent. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have a nosebleed on the spot, or even a blood vessel burst.

Even so, Zhao Ya still groaned, and then his liver and heart started working together.

The heart activates Qi and blood, the liver stores it, and the rest is absorbed into the body.

Zhao Ya came to the courtyard, took off his shirt, and started practicing with the help of the violent energy and blood.

After practicing one set, Zhao Ya's face was full of joy.

This grade five dried meat is indeed strong enough.

With just one stick, all of Zhao Ya's skills soared, and the unlocking progress of the two major organs, the kidneys and the spleen, both increased by 3%.

If this progress continues, by the time these twenty pieces of dried meat are eaten, the two major organs will be unlocked by at least fifty percent.

By then the talents of these two organs will gradually become apparent.

The next day, Zhao Ya arrived at the exotic animal meat trading market early, preparing to buy some high-quality insect bait.

It's said to be bait, but it's actually some specially prepared dried meat from low-grade exotic animals.

This thing is very cheap. After all, not many people have zerg. Many people buy this not to raise zerg, but to raise other alien beasts.

When they were dividing the money last night, Nie Jingnian had already left enough money for Zhao Ya.

So today Zhao Ya bought enough bait for the Zerg for a month at a time.

But when buying bait, Zhao Ya discovered a strange phenomenon.

The exotic animal meat trading market has become extremely active. There are many strange and bizarre exotic animals on the market, including unknown meat fields and cut-up organs.

Zhao Ya was naturally a little confused about this, so he called several stall owners he knew well.

"Don't you know yet? Recently, there are obviously many more exotic beasts in the mountains and forests around our county city. Many people have changed their careers to become exotic beast hunters and are ready to make a fortune from this." A stall owner laughed.

"Oh? There are many more exotic beasts?"

"Yes, but they are all some relatively low-level exotic beasts, mostly in the second realm, but I heard that someone has encountered a fourth-level exotic beast."

Zhao Ya silently memorized this information, thanked the stall owner, and then returned home.

At this time, Nie Jingnian had arrived.

The two fed the bait to the exotic insects and saw it wriggling. It was obviously much more active than at the beginning, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ya couldn't help asking: "You have been cruising around the county city recently. Have you found that there are more exotic beasts?"

Nie Jingnian pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Indeed, there are some, but they are all some relatively low-level exotic beasts."

Zhao Ya frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The obvious increase in the number of exotic beasts is a good thing, but if combined with the five-level giant bat that appeared in the cave, it is a bit unusual.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just heard from the people in the meat trading market today that there are more exotic beasts around the county city recently, so I asked you."

Nie Jingnian nodded, chatted for a few more words, and then got up and said goodbye.

After he left, Zhao Ya packed up, then went to the martial arts hall and met his master Lu Dingtai.

"The level of jerky? Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Lu Dingtai was a little surprised.

Zhao Ya did not hide it, and told Lu Dingtai everything that happened yesterday.

After listening, even Lu Dingtai, who was calm, couldn't help but be moved.

"Five-level exotic beasts? Are you sure?"

"No doubt."

Lu Dingtai took a breath and suddenly said: "Try to describe the woman's sword moves."

So Zhao Ya picked up a sword for practice, recalled it, and gestured two sword moves.

After reading it, Lu Dingtai was silent in deep thought.

Zhao Ya couldn't help asking: "Master, do you recognize this sword move?"

Lu Dingtai shook his head, "No, but listening to your description and the way these people act, I feel very familiar with it."

"That was when I was learning from my master. I once met a sword master by chance. His sword moves were just like what you said, sharp and terrifying, but that was 20 or 30 years ago."

Lu Dingtai showed a trace of nostalgia on his face and said immediately.

"If that woman really came from there, it's not surprising that she could face the five-level beast head-on."

"You and Nie Jingnian were lucky to escape unscathed under such circumstances. Of course, this is also because the woman didn't intend to really kill you. Otherwise, even if you could escape, Nie Jingnian would be in trouble."

At the end, Lu Dingtai's face sank and he said coldly: "Don't be so reckless in the future, understand?"

"Yes!"

"As for the level of the dried meat, some people do divide it into ten levels, but only in some prosperous places where martial arts are flourishing. The technology for breeding exotic beasts there is extremely advanced, so such standards can be formed."

"For us, it's good to have dried meat to eat. Who would classify it so carefully?"

Zhao Ya thought.

He had long suspected that the woman had an unusual origin and should have come from some place where martial arts were flourishing. But why would such a person come to Yunxiao County?

Just for the giant bat?

"Master, the woman finally broke open the giant bat's belly and took away a bead. What is that?" Zhao Ya asked again.

"I don't know about that." Lu Dingtai shook his head.

"The strange beasts are extremely complex. Not to mention me, even those five-level masters can't recognize them all. But I heard that some special strange beasts are needed as a trigger for some breakthroughs in martial arts. Maybe that woman came for this."

After listening to Lu Dingtai's words, Zhao Ya nodded.

The matter was over.

A few days later, the strange insect finally passed the stress period steadily and laid the first batch of eggs.

After giving half to Nie Jingnian, Zhao Ya took one and put it in his mouth to taste it.

The quail egg-sized eggs exploded directly in his mouth, and a strange fishy smell spread. After swallowing it, it turned into pure blood.

Zhao Ya felt it carefully.

It took a long time before he opened his eyes.

The blood contained in the strange insect eggs is one level higher than the golden-spotted black eel jerky, and is about the same as the seven-star blood eel jerky, but it is still not as good as the five-level meat jerky given by the woman.

So Zhao Ya positioned it as a fourth-level meat jerky.

With the supplement of insect eggs, Zhao Ya's training progress finally stepped on the fast train again.

In a blink of an eye, another month passed, the branches and leaves were lush, the flowers were blooming, and spring finally came late.

On this day, Zhao Ya was practicing the Golden Body Technique at home.

When the last Golden Body Technique was practiced, Zhao Ya finally heard a familiar prompt.

[Golden Body Technique proficiency plus 10]

"Huh!"

Zhao Ya let out a long breath, and suddenly felt that the skin around his body was changing rapidly.

Under the stimulation of Qi and blood, the skin became more and more tough.

If the defense of the skin was similar to that of kraft paper before, it has now become the same as tanned leather armor.

Not only that, this change also penetrated into the texture, continuously changing Zhao Ya's entire state.

At the same time, the Qi and blood inside were also stimulated, as if breaking through a certain pass, becoming more and more turbulent.

Zhao Ya's whole body was shaken, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

Breakthrough!

After three and a half years of martial arts training, Zhao Ya finally succeeded in breaking through to the fourth realm and became a martial artist who had mastered skin polishing.

This progress cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it can also be called shocking.

Zhao Ya stood in place, feeling that the skin all over his body was constantly changing.

He heard from his master and second brother that the skin polishing of the fourth realm is a continuous process.

For people with a good foundation, this process will last longer.

For those with an average foundation, or even those who force themselves to advance through some tricks, the skin polishing process will be very short.

Don't underestimate this difference.

The length of skin polishing time is directly related to the strength after entering the fourth realm.

It is even directly related to whether the blood exchange can be successful and promoted to the fifth realm.

It can be said that the skin polishing of the fourth realm is the first filter in martial arts practice.

Those who are not talented enough or try to take a tricky path will be screened out.

Only those with a strong character can pass.

And Zhao Ya's skin-smoothing process lasted for half an hour, and there was still no sign of stopping.

Zhao Ya simply ignored these things and took advantage of the situation to perform the Great Vajra Fist.

As the saying goes, one move can make the world wide.

When he was in the third realm, Zhao Ya could also perform the Great Vajra Fist with great effect.

But only after he really entered the fourth realm did Zhao Ya know what a real standing Vajra was and what the power of demon-slaying was.

Boom!

Zhao Ya punched out, and where the fist wind passed, a big hole was directly blasted out of the wall several feet away.

Brick chips flew, the largest of which was not even as big as a teacup, which shows how powerful it was.

Zhao Ya was also a little dumbfounded.

How could he know that it would be so powerful.

At this time, Zui'er, who heard the noise, walked into the yard and was shocked when he saw Zhao Ya.

"Brother Xiaoya, you...what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?"

"Just look in the mirror."

Zhao Ya picked up the mirror and saw that a layer of dead skin had shed from his face and neck, hanging on his body, looking very scary.

Zhao Ya pinched a corner and gently peeled it off.

The dead skin was easily peeled off, revealing the skin underneath, which was as smooth as jade, and even without any pores.

"Zui'er!"

"Hmm?"

"Get me some clothes, I want to take a shower!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Ya finished his shower and stood in front of the mirror to examine his body.

At this time, all the dead skin on his body had been washed off, revealing the brand new skin underneath.

The skin was as smooth as jade without any flaws, and the muscle lines that looked like they were carved by knives and axes gave people a strong visual impact.

At least Zui'er, who brought the clothes in, blushed after seeing it, and then couldn't help peeking, thinking in his heart.

Brother Xiaoya has a really good figure, and he seems to be more handsome than before.

Zhao Ya was also very satisfied at this time, because his skin grinding was slowly finished after taking a shower.

The whole process lasted for more than an hour.

If this were to be told to others, it would probably shock a lot of people.

After all, the average warrior can only grind the skin for three to five minutes at most, and even those with extraordinary talents can only do it for twenty to thirty minutes at most.

How could Zhao Ya spend more than an hour grinding the skin?

After the skin grinding was completed, Zhao Ya felt as if he had been reborn, and his whole body was full of infinite power.

"Panel!"

Zhao Ya muttered in his heart.
