Lou Cheng would be lying if he said he didn't feel proud and happy after hearing He Yi's words. However, he had been through a lot, so he kept a smile on his face and bowed.
"Sect Master, you flatter me."
Geezer Shi curled his lips in disdain. He Yi shook his head and laughed.
"You don't have to be humble about this. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly. Reaching Physical Invulnerability before the age of 23 is a few months earlier than Wisdom King. Even in the history of the past thousand years, it's rare."
At this moment, Shi Jianguo interrupted, "Sect Master, don't praise him like that. This brat is so proud that his tail is about to stand up. It's good to reach the Physical Invulnerability level, but from now on, you have to forget all your previous achievements because your opponents will become Physical Invulnerability experts. Which Physical Invulnerability expert isn't a dragon or phoenix among men? Although you and Little Ren have killed two of them together, don't forget that they went through tough battles! "
Master, you're right, but why do I feel like you're showing off … Lou Cheng complained in his mind, but he still answered respectfully,
"You're right, Master."
"Then hurry up and practice the Physical Invulnerability Chapters!" Geezer Shi glared at him, then asked worriedly, "Have you given the Black Bat's meat to the military?"
"I gave it to them in Acropolis," Lou Cheng said honestly, but he was complaining in his heart.
If I didn't give it to the military in advance, how would I get on the plane? Should I tell the security that it's fresh beef?
I don't want to be treated as a psychopathic murderer!
"You're quite reliable," Geezer Shi praised him reluctantly.
He Yi didn't nag further. He turned and led Lou Cheng underground. After passing through layers of barriers, they entered the secret hall.
This place didn't change much from the last time Lou Cheng was here. It was still filled with whistling cold wind and falling goose feathers. In the middle of the room was a transparent cabinet with the Ice Essence Bead. The four walls were hung with visualization diagrams of the nine Physical Invulnerability Unique Arts. In front of each diagram was a stone table with a set of moves, detailed explanations, and notes of predecessors.
"Make good use of it, but try not to spend more than three hours a day," He Yi reminded with a smile.
There was a fundamental difference between understanding the surface of Physical Invulnerability Unique Arts and practicing it directly!
"Yes, Martial Uncle Sect Master." Now that Lou Cheng was standing in an extremely cold environment, there was no need for him to circulate his Flame Force to warm his body. It was as if he had become one with the "heaven and earth" around him.
He watched as He Yi slowly walked away. After the heavy door was tightly shut, he went to the vicinity of the fifth style, Enemy Heart Freezing Move without hesitation. He looked at the Heart of Seven Orifices that looked like an ice crystal mirror. The frosty white fog around it shrank and expanded, making everything seem to come alive.
The reason why he chose to practice this unique skill first was because he had already reached the realm of Encountering Gods In The Void. His spirit had also undergone a qualitative change after making the great leap, so he should be able to get started in no time.
He sat down cross-legged on the snow-covered ground. His deep eyes, which seemed to contain a vast starry sky, reflected the mysterious and transparent heart that communicated with the fine details.
Gradually, the suspended visualization diagram didn't change. However, the Enemy Heart Freezing Move in Lou Cheng's pupils began to contract and expand slowly and rhythmically.
Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub. The two heartbeats seemed to have merged into one. He felt as if the dust had dissipated. His body and mind were at peace. His emotions were no longer stirred. Gradually, various things appeared around him.
This is similar to the "Confrontation" Formula … Lou Cheng thought to himself. Using the stone of the mountain, he started to work on the jade.
Time flew by as he practiced. Everything was silent.
After an unknown period of time, Lou Cheng suddenly felt something. He could actually "hear" He Yi's footsteps through a few heavy metal doors. Below the silver-covered ground, a few bugs were slowly traversing. Naturally, a vivid image of them appeared in his mind, as if he was seeing it with his own eyes.
The world was peaceful. Everything was in harmony. Everything was so beautiful. Lou Cheng seemed to have changed his perspective and gotten to know nature all over again.
"This is the Enemy Heart Freezing Move …" He half-closed his eyes and sighed in satisfaction.
Using the experience from the "Confrontation" Formula and the solid foundation of "Ice Mirror", he was able to reach the threshold of "Enemy Heart Freezing Move" in just three hours. With another two or three practice sessions, he would be able to grasp the basics.
Apart from the ability to see oneself, the Enemy Heart Freezing Move also had part of the effects of the Confrontation Formula and all the characteristics of the Forwarding Formula. In gaming terms, it was an increase in resistance to negative emotions and mental attacks.
Apart from that, the Enemy Heart Freezing Move could also see the opponent, sense their emotions, grasp their movements, and make predictions in advance. It was like a demon.
It also seemed to have improved in terms of premonition and intuition … Shaking his slightly swollen head, Lou Cheng stood up and walked towards the door.
During the practice session, snow didn't accumulate on the surface of his body. Due to the instinctive reaction of his muscles and skin, he flicked off every "goose feather" that landed on his body.
Refreshed, he walked out of the secret hall. Seeing that his master had already left, he walked slowly towards the Songtao Pavilion with his hands in his pockets. From time to time, he would take pictures of the mountain scenery and share the joy of his gains with Yan Zheke. As for the girl who had just entered the Dan stage, she was practicing the corresponding martial arts of the Fighting Sect and the Ji family. Her life was fulfilling and satisfying.
Walking around the corridor, Lou Cheng saw a martial arts training ground. Many Ice God Sect disciples were practicing under the guidance of their instructors. They were sweating profusely and full of vigor.
The real headquarters of the Ice God Sect was located in the Ice God Building in Moshang. Apart from a few ceremonies, most matters were handled there. However, the ancestral grounds were quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle. It was perfect for new disciples to focus on their practice and build a solid foundation.
Seeing Lou Cheng slowly walking over from the corner of his eye, the instructors quickly turned around and greeted him with a salute,
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Lou."
The disciples followed the rules and didn't stop their practice. However, they couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Lou Cheng.
Seeing such a scene reminded Lou Cheng of himself and what happened back then. His heart was filled with joy. He nodded gently and said,
"Everyone, practice hard."
He stood idly by and watched for a while before strolling away amidst the increasingly hardworking and serious performance of the disciples. Passing through the corridor under the shade of the trees, he returned to the Songtao Pavilion.
The pine forest here was verdant and undulating, just like before.
…
Ice God Building. Zhu Tai had already become a senior executive in charge of a certain industry. He had just walked out of the elevator and turned to his office when he suddenly saw his junior brother, Lei Fang.
Seeing how the confident and energetic Lei Fang had turned into a steady and disciplined person, Zhu Tai sighed inwardly. He pushed his glasses up and greeted him with a smile, "Why didn't you go over there?"
"I'm here to collect my pocket money," replied Lei Fang calmly with a slight smile.
He had officially joined the Wuyue Club a few months ago and was arranged to participate in several high-level professional matches.
Zhu Tai nodded and sighed. "Good luck. A 26-year-old Inhuman is not hopeless for a Physical Invulnerability expert. Unlike me, it's already impossible …"
He was already 32 years old and could clearly feel the stagnation of his mental growth and the solidification of his visualization.
Initially, Zhu Tai was rather dissatisfied with Lei Fang and was secretly jealous of his master's favoritism. However, when his hope was cut off, he gradually sobered up and calmed down. However, when he woke up at night, he was still depressed and couldn't get over it.
"Then I'll thank senior brother in advance for your auspicious words." Lei Fang lowered his head and laughed. "However, in the Wuyue Club, I'm not the one with the most hope of making the great leap. Zheng Yu is 28 years old and a senior Fourth Pin, close to Physical Invulnerability. Qian Qiyue is 25 years old and has been at the Inhuman stage for almost a year …"
After saying four or five names, he laughed at himself. "I often regret my decision back then. I should have entered the Wuyue Club earlier. With so many people stronger than me and the atmosphere of competition, perhaps I wouldn't have to wait three years to transform from a Sixth Pin to an Inhuman."
In the past few years, Lei Fang had stayed in the Ice God Sect and participated in some low-level professional matches to hone his skills.
"He's still stronger than me." Zhu Tai shook his head and sighed.
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a while before parting ways. However, they were already on different paths.
…
The next morning, birds chirped in the mountains.
Lou Cheng had just woken up when he received a message from Yan Zheke. She sent an emoji with fists shining.
"Another day of hard work!"
She planned to wait until she had a basic grasp of the two Dan Stage techniques before coming to Yanbing Mountain for a holiday. After that, she could go to America for Aunt Du's guidance.
Seeing this, Lou Cheng couldn't help but smile. He replied with a handshake emoji.
"Let's do it together!"
After finishing his morning training, Lou Cheng ate his breakfast and rested for a while before entering the Secret Hall again to practice the Enemy Heart Freezing Move. At the same time, he also observed the second move, Mesmerizing Snow Steps.
When he finished his morning training and returned to the Ice Queen Pavilion, He Yi smiled and said,
"Let's go to the Wuyue Club in the afternoon."
"Huh?" Lou Cheng was confused.
Shouldn't the focus be on training?
Why should I go to the Wuyue Club?
Speaking of which, I haven't been there yet …
He Yi smiled and explained,
"Go and experience the Polar Laboratory."
"This can help you stabilize your connection with Heaven and Earth as soon as possible and speed up the progress of the Physical Invulnerability Chapters. Of course, you're still a beginner, so don't use it too often. It's better to use it once every three days."
Lou Cheng listened with anticipation. He nodded and smiled.
"Thank you for your advice, Sect Leader Martial Uncle."
