BXBX NOVEL Chapter 225 225: Upgrading Twin Fists
Even though it was extremely tough to practice this version of the Iron Body body cultivation method for Yoze, this simply wasn\'t enough. Even when he compared the following ten levels that included the Blood Master realm and even what he derived to be the entrance to the Martial Grandmaster realm, this wasn\'t enough to compete with demons.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that his spiritual body cultivation talents were constantly strengthening his body, he would be much weaker than right now. At most, with the basic version that he had created, he could easily crush an expert Martial Grandmaster like Silver Thunder.
After envisioning how he would do against demons like the Armored Elephant demon and the Leopard demon, Yoze concluded that he would still lose. Not only because these demons had an unfair ability to use spiritual energy but also because their bodies were incredibly powerful even when they never focused on training it.
This simply was because the demon style of Spiritual body cultivation talent was simply overpowered. After running through multiple simulations, he couldn\'t see much hope in beating a demon by himself.
Even if he had physical strength or a speed advantage, it would be difficult to do enough damage that the demon would stay dead for good before it ran away. As for intelligent demons such as the Leopard demon, he could forget about leaving alive or having his corpse intact.
The only demons he could reasonably defeat were demons that were just born within two months since they shouldn\'t have gotten enough fighting experience or as comfortable at using their spiritual energy yet. Their bodies also hadn\'t been enhanced by their demon spiritual body cultivation talent for too long.
For Yoze, that simply wasn\'t satisfactory, but this was already a great result for most martial artists. Most Martial Grandmasters couldn\'t even achieve that, with most ending up dead as soon as they were alone with a demon.
At the end of the day, this was not only because of a limit in martial arts but also a stark difference in talent. Unless humans unlocked their own spiritual body cultivation talent, then humanity could only be left in the hands of immortals.
"I can\'t give up on my martial arts now. I simply wouldn\'t be as powerful as I am now without it."
"Even though this basic version of the powerful defensive ability that I wanted, it still doesn\'t make my body indestructible. I need to integrate a few other body cultivation methods to make this even better."
"For example, while this Iron Body cultivation can endure a lot of force, it doesn\'t work as well if someone can overwhelm me. If I can combine it with the Jelly Squid body cultivation, which focuses on force dispersion, my defensive capabilities are bound to soar."
"Taking it one step further, I can even combine it with the Sinking Swamp body cultivation method and even the Boneless Man body cultivation method to upgrade the stickiness of my body and ability to absorb damage. Combining just these few body cultivation methods into the basic version of the Iron Body will allow anyone to be easily capable of easily tanking Blood Master realm attacks while still being in the Martial Artist realm."
"And if I wait a little longer and push these body cultivations a few levels beyond their limits, I can get a better picture of their future paths and better integrate them into my Iron Body method while receiving their enhanced effects."
"What is even better is that the more I train in these body cultivation methods, the faster I can train through the various levels of my Iron Body cultivation method." Yoze\'s mind raced as countless thoughts ran through his brain as he tried to figure out the best path he should take to be the most efficient with his time.
He could start integrating all the external body cultivation methods while also practicing the basic version of Iron Body. Then, once he completes the advanced version, he can immediately start and make quick progress.
Another path he could take was to temporarily pause practicing the Iron Body and only begin once he completed the advanced version. This would allow him to focus more of his efforts on upgrading his martial art techniques which needed an upgrade.
His current strongest offensive martial art technique is Twin Fists. This basic technique only had substance due to being forced to break its limits multiple times. Even though it was powerful, it was mostly due to his absolutely high physical strength.
If another Blood Master user used Twin Fists on the same level as himself, they wouldn\'t get as much utility. This was simply because, at its core, Twin Fists was a martial technique that focused on locking the opponent into an endless cycle of attacks and beating them to a pulp.
This was a strong technique once they were able to lock in their opponents since it would be incredibly difficult to escape the chain of attacks. Even if they began to escape, the users of Twin Fists could easily restart another chain because they could make a full-powered attack anywhere on their body. So at the level that Yoze had reached, this was a great technique.
But for regular Blood Masters, when they face opponents who are equally as powerful as them or even more powerful, it becomes extremely difficult to start the devastating chain of attacks that was the core of its lethality. But, of course, these weaknesses could be easily offset by these martial artists practicing other martial art techniques to add variety to the battle style.
This would not only make their opponents have to deal with multiple attacks, but once the perfect opportunity arrives, Twin Fists would be in their arsenal to guarantee they win the fight. While Yoze planned on also adding more offensive martial techniques to his arsenal, he also wanted to upgrade Twin Fists further.
He wanted to expand Twin Fists from being a chain of fist or finger attacks; he wanted to develop it further to other martial art techniques. He wanted to make all his offensive martial art techniques have the option of becoming an endless chain of attacks.
