Black Turtle Heavenly Guard

Ch. 224

The artifact spirit had given him a body cultivation technique called [Black Turtle Heavenly Guard], a defensive technique that focuses on refining the body to become hard as the Black Turtle, one of the divine beast of the four directions.

The first stage of [Black Turtle Heavenly Guard] is the skin refining stage. Reaching initial success will allow him to have a body comparable to one-star materials.

This means that one-star ranked awakeners with the physical strength of 1800-jin would not be able to break his body's defense with ordinary swords.

Naturally, three days was not enough time for him to reach initial success with his whole body, but if it was just his right arm, it was more than enough with time to spare.

In addition to raising his right arm to initial success in the technique, he had completed a defense rune for his right arm as well.

When Body Rune and Black Turtle Heavenly Guard were coupled together, the defensive effects stacked and worked wonders, raising the defensive attributes of his right arm all the way to 9 stars.

Furthermore, with such a strong right arm, he no longer had to worry about the repercussions of using the subsequent levels of [9 Echo Oscillating Fist].

Without being able to circulate the energy of his divine cultivation, he would normally not be able to retain his physical strength of 1800-jin, but he was also a one-star ranked awakener.
