[Dawn Year 104, January. This month, your focus was on how to allow ordinary people to absorb Spiritual Qi.]
[Based on your previous understanding of Spiritual Qi, you discovered that Mental Energy could interfere with the surrounding Spiritual Qi to a certain extent.]
[The reason ordinary people previously couldn't Cultivate the Spiritual Qi Breathing Technique was that their Mental Energy didn't meet the threshold required to absorb Spiritual Qi.]
[To reach the level required to absorb Spiritual Qi, one must at least Breakthrough the Human Limit, allowing the spirit to reach the requirement when driven by the Physical Body.]
[However, Body Refining Methods could only allow humans to reach the Physical Body Limit.]
[Afterward, you thought of a method: Visualization.]
[This involves visualizing a vortex, imagining it sucking the surrounding energy into the body, thereby temporarily strengthening the spirit through this method.]
[It was ultimately found to be feasible: as long as the Body Refining Method was Cultivated to Major Achievement, then practicing the Visualization Method would meet the requirements for absorbing Spiritual Qi.]
[Finally, through the concerted efforts of you and the people at the Research Institute, a Cultivation Technique was created that allows ordinary people to Cultivate and step into the Transcendent Realm.]
[This Cultivation Technique was created by combining the Breathing Technique, the Body Refining Method, and the Visualization Method. Its purpose is simple: absorb Spiritual Qi and cleanse the Physical Body. Therefore, this Cultivation Technique is named Advanced Body Refining Method 1.0.]
[Dawn Year 104, February. After more than two months of Cultivation, and with the support of vast resources, someone finally Cultivated the Body Refining Method to the level of Major Achievement, reaching the Physical Body Limit.]
[The facts proved that the Body Refining Method indeed achieved what was hypothesized.]
[Following this, that person began to Cultivate the Advanced Body Refining Method. They did not disappoint the crowd and succeeded in their Cultivation. According to the person's account, they could feel a warm current circulating within their body, and their body, which had reached the Physical Body Limit, was gradually growing stronger.]
[With the support of numerous resources, three days later, this person felt the shackles break, officially Breaking through the Physical Body Limit.]
[Testing showed that their strength reached 2,500 kilograms, and their speed reached 30 meters per second.]
[It seems that as long as one Breaks through the Physical Body Limit, strength will double. Furthermore, speed and defense also receive a certain degree of enhancement.]
[Realizing something, you also began to Cultivate. Unexpectedly, as soon as you started, your body developed an enormous demand for Spiritual Qi. The surrounding Spiritual Qi could not satisfy you at all. Fortunately, you are now a treasure-like existence for the Federation and do not lack resources.]
[Finally, with the aid of numerous Spirit Medicine resources, your base strength indeed doubled, increasing from the original 500,000 kilograms to 1,000,000 kilograms. Additionally, your speed reached 663 meters per second, nearly twice the speed of sound.]
[Dawn Year 104, April. More people successively began to break the Physical Body Limit. You continued to improve the Advanced Body Refining Method, making its Spiritual Qi absorption rate faster.]
[Dawn Year 104, May. The Research Team discovered that optimizing the Visualization pattern and breathing rhythm could significantly enhance Spiritual Qi absorption efficiency.]
[You created the Advanced Body Refining Method 2.0 version. Testing revealed that its Spiritual Qi absorption speed was three times that of the 1.0 version.]
[This speed was already faster than the passive Spiritual Qi cleansing experienced by most Transcendent.]
[Therefore, Transcendent also joined the ranks of those Cultivating.]
[Dawn Year 104, July. Based on your research into the energy of Transcendent and the Internal Energy System you Cultivated in previous simulations, you created the Qi and Blood Condensation Method and the Qi and Blood Body Tempering Method.]
[The Qi and Blood Condensation Method allows one to Cultivate a Transcendent energy called Qi and Blood.]
[This is a type of Transcendent energy born from the combination of Vital Blood Energy, generated by a powerful Physical Body, and Spiritual Qi.]
[Actually, you originally wanted to see if you could try Qi Refining and Immortality Cultivation, but you realized you lacked the knowledge in this area, and the Federation had even less.]
[In the end, you could only settle for the next best thing and created Qi and Blood, which has characteristics similar to Internal Energy.]
[The function of the Qi and Blood Body Tempering Method is to refine the Physical Body, making it stronger, which in turn produces more Qi and Blood. This Qi and Blood then further tempers the Physical Body until the body is forged to be immensely powerful and indestructible.]
[Afterward, once simulations and tests confirmed that this method was harmless to the human body, experiments began. You found some people who had broken the Physical Body Limit to Cultivate these two Cultivation Techniques.]
[The experimental results were gratifying: everyone who Cultivated successfully condensed Qi and Blood.]
[The Physical Body grew stronger and stronger under the tempering of Qi and Blood.]
[In the laboratory, the first batch of cultivators radiated a crimson light. The powerful wind generated by their punches caused the testing equipment to hum.]
["Isn't this just the Internal Energy from Wuxia novels?" an excited researcher asked.]
[You smiled and shook your head, "No, this is far stronger than Internal Energy."]
[Seeing that the methods you created could be Cultivated, coupled with the previously promoted Advanced Body Refining Method, you decided to name this path of evolution and strength the Qi and Blood Martial Way. Naturally, those who Cultivate the Qi and Blood Martial Way are Martial Artist.]
[Those who broke the Physical Body Limit and just condensed Qi and Blood reached the first Realm of the Qi and Blood Martial Way—Initial Qi and Blood Birth. At this point, the Martial Artist has just condensed Qi and Blood.]
[Dawn Year 104, August. The two Cultivation Techniques had been promoted throughout the Entire Federation Military and among all Transcendent in the Federation.]
[Transcendent truly deserve to be called the darlings of the era. They were also faster than ordinary people in Cultivating the Qi and Blood Martial Way.]
[At this time, you had not yet planned to begin Cultivation.]
[Dawn Year 104, September. The benefits brought by Qi and Blood began to appear prominently. Testing showed that when strength reached 5,000 kilograms, the body would undergo changes, becoming harder. When strength reached 12,000 kilograms, the Qi and Blood could spread throughout the entire body, and the body could withstand attacks from small firearms.]
[You subsequently named the stage after breaking 12,000 kilograms of strength the second Realm of the Qi and Blood Martial Way—Indestructible Vajra. At this point, the Martial Artist's body has undergone a transformation, becoming indestructible.]
[Dawn Year 104, November. Some Physical Body-type Transcendent caught up later, Cultivating the Qi and Blood Martial Way and raising their strength to 50,000 kilograms. At this level of physical fitness, their Qi and Blood began to solidify further, capable of breaking out of the body and covering the surface of the skin.]
[Testing eventually showed that the defense generated by this Qi and Blood covering the body's surface could resist sniper rifle fire at close range.]
[In terms of offense, attacks launched by arms covered in Qi and Blood possessed extremely strong corrosive destructive power.]
[Dawn Year 105, February. This Transcendent's strength had reached 120,000 catties. They could now envelop their entire body in Qi and Blood, and their defense was even stronger, allowing them to withstand a direct hit from a rocket launcher without injury. Furthermore, they possessed extremely powerful resistance against various elemental attacks and energy damage from other Transcendent.]
[Their full running speed could also reach 200 meters per second.]
[Unfortunately, even if their Physical Body reached this Realm, their neural reaction speed and memory were only a few times stronger than an ordinary person's; their brain did not evolve proportionally.]
[Only then did you realize that you had underestimated the physique enhanced by the System. It was a comprehensive enhancement. Your evolved brain, combined with the Heaven-Sent Prodigy trait, likely produced an effect comparable to a Blue trait.]
[At this stage, the speed at which Qi and Blood tempered the body began to slow down.]
[However, there was also good news: Martial Artist who reached this Realm had their lifespan extended to 200 years.]
[This discovery greatly excited some high-ranking officials in the Federation.]
[Finally, after discussion, you named the stage where strength surpasses 120,000 kilograms and Qi and Blood can cover the entire body the third Realm of the Qi and Blood Martial Way—Immortal Garment of Water and Fire, marking the Martial Artist's acquisition of dual defensive capabilities against both physical and energy attacks.]
