Chapter 18 Jumping over the Dragon Gate

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Today is the day when the Storm sets sail.

Cao Ze was worried that they would come looking for him, so he did not go out to sea today.

Standing in the small courtyard, looking at the small words in front of me, love points: 85.

"Just right!"

Cao Ze was somewhat delighted.

I finally accumulated 80 love points, and can finally upgrade to the Dragon Transformation again!
"add a bit!"

Mind silently.

The scene of practicing the Fish-Dragon Body Tempering Technique appeared in his mind again.

But this time, it was not as smooth as before. In his memory, he sometimes stood up to practice, and sometimes sat in meditation to think. When he was practicing the Fish Dragon Body Tempering Technique, the feeling of an iron hammer hitting his flesh and blood was still there, but he could no longer eliminate the impurities in his flesh and blood. It seemed that his flesh and blood had been tempered to the extreme and there was no room for improvement.

Spring went and autumn came, and this cycle repeated three times.

Until one day, he suddenly had an idea and practiced boxing in the courtyard for more than an hour without stopping to think.

Suddenly, the picture in Cao Ze's eyes changed.

There was a deep blue sky and roaring waves before his eyes. He was no longer the boy practicing boxing, but a stubborn fish, struggling to swing its tail in the waves.

Every time he swung his tail, it would surge several feet out of the water.

It was then that Cao Ze discovered that about ten feet above the water, there was a door made of white clouds.

Fish leaps over the dragon's gate!

A sudden enlightenment came into his mind.

So every time he wagged his tail, he wagged his tail harder.

However, the distance of ten feet was like a chasm. Even if he tried his best, he could only go a little higher and was always a little short of the door formed by white clouds.

It is not easy to go further.

Gradually, even Cao Ze himself forgot how many times he had failed. He had only one thought, which was to cross the dragon gate in front of him.

As expected, he turned into a stubborn fish.

Wow!

Perhaps it was the countless times of wagging his tail that gave him an epiphany, or perhaps it was just an undercurrent from somewhere that helped him, but this time when he jumped up, he actually passed through the door made of white clouds!

The moment he crossed the dragon gate, his body was suddenly covered with a layer of red scales, enveloping him like armor. He was clearly just a fish, but he exuded a majestic aura out of thin air.

Wow!

Falling into the water, he was still a fish, but Cao Ze knew that everything had changed.

The scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, and he was still himself, still standing in the courtyard.

But Cao Ze's mind moved, and he exerted all his strength, and a faint layer of scales appeared on his body. Just looking at it gave people an indestructible sense of security.

Cao Ze was overjoyed!

How important defense is has been proven when he fought against Zheng Tiezhu.

He went to the main room, took out Zheng Tiezhu's short knife, restrained his strength, and slashed his arm.

Ding dong!

There was a crisp sound, as if it was cutting into real metal, and there was not even a trace of a mark on the arm.

Cao Ze increased his strength, and only a white mark appeared on his arm, without even breaking the skin.

Using 30% of his strength, blood oozed out of his arm, and this time the skin was finally broken.

Without trying any more, Cao Ze laughed out loud.

Now, even if he stood here and let Zheng Tiezhu chop him with a knife, it would be difficult for Zheng Tiezhu to cause any serious harm to him.

The level of knife he had dealt in the sea before would probably have only barely broken his skin.

He has achieved all-round improvements in strength and defense.

With a thought, he called out the small character.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Body Forging Level 0 Fish Dragon Transformation (Skin Polishing): Perfect (160/)

Love Point: 3】

"Ok?"

Cao Ze was a little confused.

According to Uncle Wu, there are twelve levels of body building, which are divided into four major stages: skin grinding, tendon strengthening, bone strengthening, and internal organ refining. The third level is a step toward heaven.

But now, he has already reached the fourth level of body building, but is still stuck in the skin grinding stage. He should have broken through to the realm of Yi Jin after achieving great success in skin grinding, but instead he has only reached the stage of perfect skin grinding!
Then, shouldn't there also be perfection in strengthening the tendons, perfection in strengthening the bones, and perfection in refining the internal organs?

So, I can cultivate my body to the sixteenth level?

Having never come into contact with other warriors, Cao Ze didn't know what level his perfectly polished flesh and blood was at, but he was looking forward to the day when he would reach the sixteenth level of body forging. Perhaps, there would be some surprises.

He only realized now that the scene of the carp leaping over the dragon gate in his memory might not be something that everyone who practices the fish-dragon transformation can experience.

No wonder he spent three years in his memory without making any progress in his transformation from fish to dragon, until one day he had an epiphany and was able to make the leap.

It is very likely that for other warriors, whether they are willing to spend so much time to study the Fish-Dragon Transformation and Skin Polishing Chapter is not to mention, even if they spend so much time, whether they can finally have an epiphany depends on fate.

So maybe the Fish-Dragon Transformation Skin Polishing Chapter does not have only three stages, but over time, it has become a routine for everyone to practice the Muscle-Changing Chapter after mastering the skin polishing.

But he is different, he has attribute points!
Cao Ze trembled slightly with excitement.

At the end of his memory, when he fell into the water, he saw that behind the dragon gate he had passed, there were several more dragon gates towering high!
After crossing the first dragon gate, these scale shadows appeared on his body, greatly increasing his defense.

I am really looking forward to what changes will happen after crossing other gates one by one.

call!
After letting out a long breath and looking towards the courtyard gate, Cao Ze felt a little relaxed.

He was sure that even if the boatswain of the Hurricane that day came again, he would be able to handle it.

However, the boatswain did not arrive until dark.

Obviously, the other party was just making a routine invitation. The world would not stop spinning without Cao Ze, and the Tornado would naturally not be unable to set sail without him.

Cao Ze laughed at himself, thinking that he was too nervous.

"Brother Ze..."

Su Xiaozhi, who was practicing martial arts nearby, looked over here with some concern. Seeing Cao Ze suddenly burst into laughter while practicing martial arts, she couldn't help but worry that Cao Ze had gone insane.

goooo...

However, what greeted her was a growling of hunger.

Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, so Su Xiaozhi walked into the kitchen.

For this meal, Cao Ze ate five large bowls of rice and a large amount of meat, which made him feel full.

He could feel that as his martial arts skills improved, his food intake became more and more exaggerated, and he would even feel hungry from time to time.

As the body becomes stronger, it naturally requires more powerful energy to support it.

After eating and drinking, Cao Ze looked at Su Xiaozhi who was cleaning up the dishes and said, "How about we buy a maid?"

He heard that there were maids for sale in Cape City, and the price of a maid ranged from five or six taels to twenty taels of silver, depending on her looks.

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand wen, or one guan.

It’s not cheap, but Cao Ze can afford it now.

"Ok?"

Su Xiaozhi immediately became alert. After many days, she pouted again, looking aggrieved, with mist in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Cao Ze couldn't help but laugh. They had been married for some time, and except for the first few days, he hadn't seen Su Xiaozhi with this expression for a long time.

"Just go pick it!"

Cao Ze continued, "This way you can have more time to do the things you like, such as practicing martial arts, reading books..."

He really had no other ideas, having Su Xiaozhi alone was enough!

After hearing this, Su Xiaozhi turned from anger to joy, but still decisively refused, "No, I want to cook for you and wash your clothes myself!"

Cao Ze didn't dwell on this issue. Since Su Xiaozhi didn't want to, he just let her do it.
