Chen Hao had been training in the wilderness for close to two months. He had been training day and night, spending all his time fighting and cultivating.
During the day, he hunted the low-level beasts in the forest and cultivated in this hidden cave until late at night.
This kind of crazy training was not something an ordinary person could do. Not only did it require an indomitable will and perseverance, it also required the ability to withstand this kind of torture and self-abuse. Perhaps only Chen Hao, who had an innately strong physical body, could withstand this kind of high-intensity training. If it were anyone else, even if they had such perseverance and determination, they would have died from exhaustion …
After Chen Hao and Xiao Jihan had agreed to a battle to the death, Chen Hao followed the disciples of the Xiao Clan and trained for two months. After learning the basic fist techniques, leg techniques, footwork techniques, and other basic techniques of the disciples of the Xiao Clan, he suggested to Elder Xiao that only disciples who had reached the Martial Warrior level could undergo the training. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, it was only possible for a few disciples to form a team to undergo the training.
This was something that could not be helped. Especially as the date of his battle to the death with Xiao Jihan approached, the pressure on Chen Hao increased. In just two months, Xiao Jihan, who had been cultivating in seclusion, had advanced to a ninth grade Martial Warrior with the support of the Xiao Family's and his own family's spiritual herbs.
Four months later, according to Elder Xiao's estimation, Xiao Jihan would definitely be able to step into the ranks of Martial Masters. Chen Hao already had a clear understanding of the strength of a Martial Master. Currently, it was not something that he could contend against. Chen Hao could not help but admit that he had underestimated Xiao Jihan.
If he continued to cultivate at this speed, Chen Hao would definitely not be a match for Xiao Jihan.
Therefore, Chen Hao could only choose to train alone in the Demonic Cloud Mountain Range, which was uninhabited and filled with all kinds of beasts!
This was the only way for him to improve himself at the fastest speed possible.
The reason was simple. Firstly, the Demonic Cloud Mountain Range was filled with life and death situations. It was undoubtedly the best way to train.
Secondly, it was the ancient Chinese martial arts!
This was the main reason why Chen Hao was determined to go to the Magic Cloud Mountain Range to gain experience. During the two months in the Xiao family, Chen Hao did not practice Chinese Ancient Martial Arts, mainly because the environment did not allow it. After all, Chinese Ancient Martial Arts did not belong to this world, so naturally, it could not be seen by anyone. This was because Chen Hao could not explain clearly where he learned these skills. Furthermore, Chen Hao did not have a true understanding of the cultivation techniques of this world. He did not know whether the Xiao family's cultivation techniques were stronger or weaker than the ancient Chinese martial arts.
Therefore, during these two months of learning the Xiao Family's basic cultivation techniques, Chen Hao had been analyzing them in detail. After making a clear judgment, he did not hesitate to raise the matter of training with Elder Xiao.
Without a doubt, ancient Chinese martial arts was the best choice for the current Chen Hao!
Elder Xiao naturally did not agree at first, because the experience in the Magic Cloud Mountain Range was too dangerous for Chen Hao. However, he could not withstand Chen Hao's persistent pestering and his firm determination and various reasons to go to the Magic Cloud Mountain Range to gain experience. After Chen Hao promised that he would not take any risks, Elder Xiao reluctantly agreed.
…
"Hoo …"
Finally, at around midnight, Chen Hao, who was sweating profusely, stopped.
"It's been two months … This result is much better than Li Yuanqiang back then … Moreover, this world is more suitable for cultivation. It seems that Earth has been polluted by the rapid development of science and technology, and is no longer suitable for cultivation … The same cultivation method, but the effect of cultivating is on a completely different level … The originally unfathomable Taoist cultivation method may be … able to be cultivated in this world …"
Chen Hao was lying in the cave, exhausted, and said to himself.
Although Li Yuan had used a Herculean effort to obtain a Taoist cultivation technique from an ancient Taoist relic, he could not even get a glimpse of it. But now, Chen Hao faintly felt that it was not that Li Yuan could not do it, but that the earth was no longer suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, the ancient martial arts and Taoist techniques that had been passed down would not have declined to the point of near extinction, especially for cultivators.
"There are still two months before the life and death battle … I wonder if Xiao Jihan has stepped into the Martial Master realm. I really did not expect a Martial Master to be so powerful …" The scene of Elder Xiao showing him the power of a Martial Master flashed in Chen Hao's mind, and he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
Martial Warrior and Martial Master were only one word apart, but they were so close yet so far apart. They were not on the same level at all. The vigorous Origin Energy was actually able to condense into a light red protective aura around his body. No matter how much strength Chen Hao used, he could not move it at all. And that was only a grade one Martial Master simulated by Elder Xiao.
This also meant that if Xiao Jihan had stepped into the ranks of Martial Masters, with Chen Hao's strength at that time, he would not even be able to break through his protective aura, let alone cause him any harm.
Furthermore, Martial Masters could also release Origin Energy and injure people from a distance!
This made Chen Hao's speed advantage disappear. No matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than an Origin Energy attack?
This … was simply courting death!
Chen Hao took a deep breath and slowly said, "This is the last time … If I don't make any progress with the Secret of Longevity, then I'll try to cultivate the cultivation method in the Daoist Scripture's Secrets …"
Chen Hao practiced step by step in the Xiao Family for two months, and then practiced in the Magic Cloud Mountain Range for another two months. For a total of four months, Chen Hao didn't go against Elder Xiao's wishes. Except for the Secret to Long Life, he didn't practice any Internal Strength cultivation method. This was because Chen Hao was clear that the inner force cultivation method should be specialized and avoid miscellaneous things. However, what Chen Hao didn't understand was that in less than two months, Chen Hao had already cultivated the first layer of the 《Secret to Long Life》 to the realm of perfection. In his dantian, he had condensed a boundless amount of Origin Energy that far exceeded Elder Xiao's imagination, allowing Chen Hao to successfully advance to the peak of ninth grade Martial Disciple. When he circulated his Origin Energy and brandished his fists and legs, he could emit waves of white Origin Energy … However, when he began to cultivate the second layer of the 《Secret to Long Life》, every time he finished cultivating, the boundless Origin Energy that he had painstakingly condensed would silently disappear … Until now, he was still stuck in the ninth grade Martial Disciple realm.
And now, there were only two months left until the Xiao Family's year-end Outer Disciple Tournament. This meant that in two months, Chen Hao and Xiao Jihan would have a battle to the death!
Without the support of a strong Origin Energy, even if Chen Hao's physical body was very strong, how could he possibly defeat Xiao Jihan, who was destined to become a Martial Master?
This was where Chen Hao's true pressure lay. Although he had underestimated Xiao Jihan's ability, if not for the abnormality in the Longevity Secret, so what if Xiao Jihan became a Martial Master?
What Chen Hao did not know was that when he said that he would try to cultivate the Longevity Secret for the last time, there was an imperceptible ripple in the depths of his mind …
Slowly sitting up cross-legged, Chen Hao took a deep breath and began to cultivate the second level of the Longevity Secret once again. Very quickly, he threw away all distracting thoughts and entered a state of cultivation.
The burning bonfire gradually extinguished and the cave was plunged into complete darkness. Only Chen Hao's deep, even, and almost inaudible breathing could be heard in the silent cave.
Gradually, following the circulation of the Secret to Long Life, Chen Hao's body began to emit a faint milky white light. Moreover, as time passed, the color became more and more intense. This kind of white light was the symbol of a ninth grade Martial Disciple's Origin Energy …
Chen Hao's mind was immersed in his dantian. When he felt that his Origin Energy had been condensed to its limit, he began to cultivate the second level of the Longevity Secret once again …
The white glow of Origin Energy became denser and denser, more and more intense, and more and more condensed …
"Phew …"
Six hours later, Chen Hao finally completed his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes. His black pupils shone with two rays of intense white light. The soreness and exhaustion in his body had been completely swept away. He was once again full of energy and vigor.
This was the last time he would cultivate the Longevity Secret. If the condensed Origin Energy still mysteriously disappeared, Chen Hao would have to start a new attempt. But what made Chen Hao faintly anticipate was that this cultivation seemed to be a little different from the past. In the past, when he finished cultivating, the condensed Origin Energy in his dantian was abnormally active, as if it had a mind of its own. It had no intention of staying in Chen Hao's dantian. But this time, the condensed Origin Energy, after he finished cultivating, completely condensed into the core of his dantian. Finally, it gathered together and slowly revolved around the core of his dantian. Moreover, it began to slowly shrink …
"Could it be that I succeeded?"
After more than ten minutes, Chen Hao, who was still quietly sensing the changes in the Origin Energy in his dantian, thought to himself with a flash of excitement in his eyes. In the past, at this time, the Origin Energy in his dantian would have disappeared. But this time, it did not!
"Phew … It should be a success! As long as I condense this Origin Energy to a sufficiently vigorous level, it will definitely undergo a qualitative change and I will step into the Martial Artist realm! Haha … There are only two months left. Unless I can break through Xiao Jihan's defense with absolute strength, I have no chance of winning. At the very least, I have to advance to the Martial Warrior realm! "Chen Hao's eyes shone brightly as he quickly made a decision. At this time, he had already cultivated ancient Chinese martial arts for two months. There were no problems with his moves, speed, reaction, etc. He was definitely not inferior to Xiao Jihan. The only thing he lacked was absolute strength.
Otherwise, if he were to fight, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree. If he could not even break through Xiao Jihan's defense, wouldn't Xiao Jihan be in an invincible position?
Therefore, the most important thing Chen Hao needed to do now was to increase his Origin Energy. He needed to have absolute strength to break through a Martial Master's Protective Qi!
"Phew …"
Letting out a long sigh, Chen Hao picked up the long sword beside him. At this time, the bonfire in the cave had already been extinguished. It was still dark and only a faint light shone in from the narrow opening. It was obvious that the sky was already bright.
Not long after Chen Hao entered the Demon Cloud Mountain Range, he found this cave after hunting a python that was as thick as a person and several meters long. This place was the python's nest. When Chen Hao chased the python to this place, he did not expect that the cave, which was only big enough for one person to crawl through, would have a completely different world after a few meters of winding. Such an excellent place to rest naturally became Chen Hao's temporary residence.
After crawling for a few meters, Chen Hao pushed away the stone placed at the entrance of the cave and walked out of the cave. He once again covered the entrance with the stone, and with a flash of his body, he quickly walked into the depths of the forest …
