“Finally, I’ve cultivated to the peak of Internal Strength. I’ve already tempered my internal organs. I can hardly believe such speed could happen to me. Just think, it was only a month ago that I broke through to Internal Strength. I originally thought it would take several more months to reach the peak!” Brian Carter thought to himself. At this moment, his mind was clear, and he suddenly thought of many things.

　　His cultivation speed was so fast not only because of the power of “Heavenly Everlasting Imperial Extreme Art,” but more importantly, it seemed his body had already undergone a considerable degree of transformation. Otherwise, no matter how fast, it would have been impossible for a few hours of cultivation to surpass the results of his previous six years.

　　It was that ball of light, which he couldn’t even see clearly at the time, that tore apart and reassembled countless of his cells, again and again. At that moment, his physical body had already been transformed. It was only now, while cultivating the “Heavenly Everlasting Imperial Extreme Art,” that it was manifesting.

　　And then there was that stream of cool energy—he had no idea where it came from. If it weren’t for this stream of coolness suppressing the pain, he might have stopped many times just from the agony alone. There’s no way his cultivation could have gone so smoothly!

　　“What exactly entered my body?” Brian Carter couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. “Never mind for now. In any case, this is a good thing for me. As long as I reach the eighth level of the Physical Realm and achieve Internal Vision, I’ll know what it is!”

　　The eighth level of cultivation in the Physical Realm is Internal Vision. As the name suggests, it means being able to see the condition inside your own body—blood vessels, organs, muscles, and so on. But this “seeing” isn’t with the eyes; it’s about having such complete control over the body that you can sense everything, and all the details of your body appear in your mind, creating an effect similar to actually seeing.

　　“Since I’ve already reached the peak of Internal Strength, tonight I’ll keep up the momentum and directly charge into the sixth level—Resonance of Muscles and Bones!”

　　Brian Carter decided to set aside his doubts for now and focus on breaking through. He couldn’t wait any longer. Having been suppressed by Ryan Carter since childhood, he had never felt such enthusiasm for cultivation, nor such hope for the future.

　　He used to have no opportunity, but now, fate had placed the chance before him, and he absolutely would not let it slip through his fingers.

　　Having made up his mind, Brian Carter closed his eyes once again and began to charge toward the sixth level of the Physical Realm. All his true energy surged into the spaces between his bones, tempering the fascia within.

　　And just as Brian Carter had expected, everything went smoothly and was completely under his control. All the key points for tempering the fascia appeared in his mind, and even many of the cultivation methods his teacher had taught in class—things he had only vaguely remembered before—now came back to him in perfect clarity. He could even recall the teacher’s facial expressions while speaking. This was an unprecedented feeling.

　　This was the legendary ability of photographic memory!

　　The realm of Resonance of Muscles and Bones, the sixth level of the Physical Realm, held no secrets from him. What the teacher had taught was the distilled experience and summary of countless martial arts masters, already explained with perfect clarity. It was only that his aptitude at the time was limited and he couldn’t fully understand. But now, all of it had become the foundation for his breakthrough to Resonance of Muscles and Bones.

　　With almost no obstacles, true energy surged within his body, tempering his physique again and again, constantly battering the barrier to the sixth level of the Physical Realm.

　　“Boom!”

　　In Brian Carter’s mind, it was as if something exploded. The barrier of the sixth level, which had always held him back, was swept away like a dam broken by a flood, vanishing without a trace.

　　At this moment, Brian Carter opened his eyes. As he moved slightly, a series of crackling sounds rang out, like firecrackers—clear evidence that he had stepped into the sixth level of the Physical Realm, Resonance of Muscles and Bones.

　　The true energy throughout his body was circulating rapidly, reaching a whole new level once again!

　　This feeling was simply wonderful!

　　However, he felt that the cool sensation within his body was gone. It seemed that the energy, after continuously repairing Brian Carter’s body, had almost completely dissipated.

　　That energy had replenished what he needed to break through in cultivation. Martial artists always have huge appetites, just to replenish energy—the amount they need is far greater than ordinary people.

　　His family was already struggling; how could they afford to buy him all those tonics? Otherwise, even with his average talent, if he had been born into a wealthy family, he should have been able to get into a martial arts academy.

　　Things like ginseng and lingzhi may seem great and are indeed powerful tonics for ordinary people, but for those who have achieved a certain level in cultivation, they are far from enough.

　　That’s why scientists have even invented pure nutritional serums—a single vial contains as much energy as several tons of rice.

　　His cultivation of the “Heavenly Everlasting Imperial Extreme Art” made him much stronger than others at the same level—he could take on several of his former selves at once. Likewise, the energy he needed was several times that of an ordinary person.

　　Given his family’s current situation, there was no way they could support his cultivation. He would have to find another way.
