Chapter 263: Complete Version of the Crippled Ox Self-Sacrifice Formula (Thanks to 'Liu Dao Cang Xuan')

Chapter 263: The Complete Version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body Technique (Thanks to 'Six Paths Cangxuan' for the Alliance Leader Reward)

"...Immortals and Buddhas press down from above, all living beings are like grass... bones shattered, tendons broken, blood dried, marrow withered..."

"...Nine deaths without surrender, sacrificing oneself without regret, only then can the primordial spirit return to the fleshly homeland."

Zhang Yu intermittently recited the lines of bloody incantations that surfaced in his mind, and in that instant, a myriad of insights flashed through his heart.

The first appearance of these bloody incantations was when Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen fought fiercely against Wang Yin. He battled to the last moment, and the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique also operated at an unprecedented peak.

But later, as Zhang Yu read these incantations line by line, he could never fully comprehend them, failing to grasp their profound mysteries.

It wasn't until the second time he fought Wang Yin alone, after a desperate struggle and repeatedly pushing his body to limits never before reached, that Zhang Yu gradually understood the subtleties of these incantations.

It was like a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind. The original Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique, the mysteries of the incantations, and the sensations from his life-and-death battles all pieced together, combined, and ultimately transformed into a more complete, more profound version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique.

Zhang Yu closed his eyes and began to operate this new, complete version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique.

This update to the technique made Zhang Yu feel as though he were slowly correcting his own thoughts, altering his own mindset.

This was originally an extremely difficult thing to do.

But after a series of confrontations with Wang Yin, especially the intense battles today, repeatedly fighting for survival against all odds, Zhang Yu's own mentality and thoughts had already undergone significant changes.

Now, as he transitioned to this complete version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique, it felt as natural as water flowing downhill, smooth and effortless.

As Zhang Yu gradually converted the old version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique into the complete version, a roar echoed from the depths of his mind.

Roar!

The white ox that had been struggling and crawling with difficulty in the mire, its body covered in wounds from blades, thorns, fire, and lightning, saw its injuries gradually disappear.

Even its originally severed limbs began to regrow after a series of twists and turns.

Its blinded eyes reopened, and its deafened ears regained their agility.

Roar!

After another roar, accompanied by the boiling of the surrounding mire, the fully healed white ox let out a long cry, its four hooves stepping on air, standing tall above the sea of mud.

The vast sea of mud below roared and churned incessantly, as if turning into countless black hands reaching for the white ox, but with a single shout from the ox, they were all firmly suppressed beneath its hooves.

Visualizing this white ox standing proudly in the air, suppressing the sea of mud in his mind, Zhang Yu felt his spirit completely sink into his physical body, as if becoming one with his flesh and blood, controlling his body in an unprecedented way.

Every piece of his flesh, every bone, seemed to bear his thoughts, coming 'alive.'

If before, when Zhang Yu was injured, his body relied on instinctual recovery within the flesh and blood,

now, this 'living' body would heal according to his will.

The method of healing wounds, whether the immune system was turned on or off, how broken bones thickened and grew... Zhang Yu could feel that all of this was controllable by his will.

This was the physical activation brought by the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique.

And Zhang Yu could sense that as the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique continued to improve, in the future, external injuries would leave no scars, blood vessels would clean themselves, even organs could open and close at his command, and nerves could rebuild according to his will...

"As long as I continue to improve this true Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique, my self-healing ability can become several times stronger than before."

"Even some severe injuries that were originally difficult to heal and required treatment could be healed on their own in the future."

Feeling the true power of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique, a flash of enlightenment crossed Zhang Yu's mind: "The true Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique was not created merely to encourage disabled people to work."

"The so-called Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body means fighting to the last moment, even if severely injured, with broken limbs, one must resist, sacrifice oneself to fight again, never surrendering even in the face of a hundred deaths."

"And to be able to sacrifice oneself and fight repeatedly requires powerful self-healing abilities to survive death."

"Otherwise, one sacrifice would destroy the body, leaving no strength to fight again."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "The Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique I practiced before, although it could enhance recovery somewhat, is far inferior to the complete version."

"Did the platform intentionally castrate this technique into an incomplete version?"

Recalling the crippled ox he had visualized before, Zhang Yu thought: "Castrating the technique... it's like cutting off the ox's limbs, blinding its eyes, and deafening its ears."

At that moment, Fuji spoke up: "Zhang Yu, I feel like your aura just changed? Did you learn a new technique?"

Hearing Zhang Yu describe the power of the complete version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique, Fuji was slightly surprised and commented: "According to what you said, this complete version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique seems to be close to military-grade techniques."

"Even if it's not military-grade, it should be pre-military-grade."

"You must never reveal the effects of this technique to outsiders. In the future, if others ask why your injuries heal so quickly, just say you have a special physique."

Fuji sighed: "As for the platform castrating techniques... that's all too normal. Not to mention that the complete version of this technique is close to military-grade, just this powerful self-healing ability, if promoted widely... wouldn't it shake the medical market?"

"If everyone could heal their own injuries, how would medical companies make money? Various pills, medicines, even protective equipment and magical treasures would likely be greatly affected."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Both the astonishing self-healing ability of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique and the platform's castration made him decide not to easily reveal the secrets of this technique.

"Besides A'Zhen, I won't tell anyone else." "I just don't know if A'Zhen can learn it."

Zhang Yu recalled the process of comprehending the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique and felt another wave of doubt: "Since this technique has already been castrated into an incomplete version, how was I able to comprehend it?"

"Could it be that the creator of this technique, the Great Sage Wild Ox, hid the mysteries of the complete version within it? So that even those practicing the incomplete version have a chance to comprehend the complete version?"

But no matter how much Zhang Yu thought about it, he couldn't figure out how such an incredible thing was possible.

He then tried searching online for the Great Sage Wild Ox and found that information about this technique's founder was scarce. Most of what existed were complaints from workers cursing the creator of the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Heart Technique and the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique.

Curious, Zhang Yu asked Fuji, but even this seasoned evil god didn't know about the Great Sage Wild Ox.

"Someone capable of creating a technique like the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique shouldn't be an ordinary figure."

"But why does it feel like his information has been erased?"

"It seems that in the Chain Law Diagram, the set of the Great Sage's successor is probably hard to complete."

Zhang Yu shook his head, knowing that thinking about it now was futile, so he temporarily suppressed his random thoughts and focused on practicing the complete version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique Level 10 → Level 11 (3/110)

Dao Heart Level 11 (0.3%)

Physical Strength Level 10.01 → Level 10.02

As the first ray of sunlight from the horizon shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Zhang Yu slowly stood up, his whole body crackling with a series of pops, feeling completely renewed.

After a night of practice, the complete version of the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique had been thoroughly stabilized by Zhang Yu. It could now operate continuously with his thoughts, just like the previous technique, running 24/7 as long as he remained conscious.

After a night of activation, his body continuously underwent subtle adjustments according to his will, its structure becoming more reasonable, more suited to his practice and combat, even resulting in an increase in physical strength.

Zhang Yu thought: "If I continue to practice and operate the Crippled Ox Sacrificial Body and Heart Technique like this, with my body constantly in an activated state, it will gradually adjust and grow according to my will, which will also be a long-term enhancement and optimization of the physical body."

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt even more the formidable and domineering nature of this technique.

Then Zhang Yu picked up his silenced phone nearby.

Ever since he defeated Wang Yin yesterday, the phone had been vibrating nonstop.

Almost constantly, people were sending him messages.

Some were congratulatory, some flattering, some requesting to add him as a friend.

There were also phone calls, video jumps, loan requests, debt collection reminders, group mentions, requests for red envelopes, selfies, explicit images... it was all-encompassing, making Zhang Yu realize for the first time that he had so many friends in Kunxu.

At first, Zhang Yu watched with interest, enjoying the rare mental massage, but later, it became too much to handle, so he had to silence it.

At this moment, Zhang Yu picked up his phone again. With a slight glance, he saw rows of red dots—all messages sent from various apps.

Too lazy to go through them one by one, Zhang Yu casually tapped on a few messages from familiar contacts.

Yu Xinghan: Bro, do you still need money? Want me to lend you some more? No need for 1.3 times, just 1.1 times back will do.

Qian Shen: Do you know Wang Yin’s college entrance exam and competition results? I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find them.

Le Mulan: You’re not bound by the Oasis Group’s contract anymore, right? I want to ask you for something. Meet me at the usual spot.

He Dayou: Old classmate, Songyang High School is proud of you. We know you must be very busy lately, so the school has already requested leave on your behalf. The principal asked me to ask when you’ll be free to come back and give a speech—to encourage the seniors, and inspire the juniors in their second and first years.

Zhao Tianxing: Message recalled

Zhao Tianxing: Message recalled

Zhao Tianxing: Congratulations! May you rise step by step, and your immortal path shine like a rainbow!

Xiong An’an: Thanks to you! I won’t be laid off! On behalf of all the demon descendants in the reserve, thank you.

Mo Tianyi (Away, working overtime): Well done! To watch you smash that damn rich guy’s head, I bought a video membership for the first time. It felt like you vented all the anger for every poor person. I just wanted to tell you this out of excitement. You must be busy now, no need to reply.

Song Hailong: Xianyun Group wants to renew your endorsement contract. If you’re interested, contact me.

Red Tower Dragon Dong: Still the dragon?
