The first requirement of the second layer of the Earth Fiend Profound Spear was to use the Nine Star Acupoint Strike one million times. Each strike had to be nine strikes!
This level of difficulty was simply a nightmare for the average person!
However, after Lu Chen began cultivating the spirit core, his strength had already entered a stage where it advanced by leaps and bounds with the cultivation speed of the God and Devil Origin Heart Sutra.
From being able to use the Nine Star Acupoint Strike twenty times a day, one month later, he could use it five hundred times a day.
Three months later, Lu Chen could use the Nine Star Acupoint Strike ten thousand times a day!
Lu Chen only used eight months for the second layer. Furthermore, he exceeded the requirements and trained both his hands 1.3 million times.
Later on, Lu Chen could use the Nine Star Acupoint Strike with ease!
However, one million times was only the foundation! Lu Chen still hadn't truly grasped the second style.
"The second layer is called Piercing Cloud. Spirit power must be poured into the spear. The instant the Nine Star Acupoint Strike is launched, the Spear Qi will seal the acupoint from a distance."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and seemed to have comprehended something. Suddenly, he thrust his spear.
The bamboo in front of him didn't move at all. Instead, nine small dots appeared on the surface of the bamboo behind it. Soon after, the entire bamboo exploded like a firecracker.
"I … learned it again?" Lu Chen frowned. It seemed that this was the effect of the Piercing Cloud. He had already grasped it.
"Is this cultivation method very difficult? It's just a bit troublesome to consolidate the foundation. The moves aren't hard … "Lu Chen shook his head and began to learn the third layer.
The first sentence of the third layer required the Piercing Cloud to be thrust five million times!
Lu Chen's spirit power was quite abundant now. Five million times was no problem. In a mere four months, he had entered the third layer.
"The third layer, Pneumatic Manipulation, requires the power of the Piercing Cloud to penetrate any target within five hundred meters … Hiss, five hundred meters, seems a bit difficult." Lu Chen raised his spear, channeled his power, and fiercely thrust!
At the same time, a piece of bamboo three hundred meters away suddenly exploded …
"Only three hundred meters? There's still a bit of error in spirit power control … "Lu Chen gathered power again.
This time, the target six hundred meters away directly exploded.
He tried again, and on the third try, he finally managed to control the Spear Qi explosion to a position of exactly 500 meters.
However, Lu Chen wasn't happy. "No, my method is to set the spiritual power explosion point in advance and achieve the goal of reaching 500 meters."
"But my opponent isn't a bamboo that can just stand there and let you hit him. In actual combat, if I encounter an opponent who isn't strong enough, I can make up for it with the speed of my spear. But if I encounter an Immortal Venerable expert, he can totally avoid my attack!"
Other people's targets were Spirit Supremes and Spirit Kings, but Lu Chen's imaginary enemies had to be Immortal Supremes!
In front of a Celestial Venerable, the slightest flaw could lead to defeat!
"The so-called Pneumatic Manipulation shouldn't be a pre-set point of spiritual power explosion …" Lu Chen finally reached a bottleneck.
At this moment, he thought of Bei Xue Gufei. This brother-in-law of his had been practicing the sword since he was young and had already grasped sword intent.
The so-called Sword Intent, where the intent pointed, where the sword would reach … It was a different approach to achieving the same result as Qi Manipulation.
Lu Chen thought for a while, but couldn't seem to find a particularly good method.
His techniques were all learned directly, so Lu Chen wasn't necessarily faster than others when it came to this kind of concept that couldn't be recorded down.
"I remember Gufei saying that once you practice enough times, success will naturally come naturally. After countless practice, the sword will become a part of your body. And for a person to control their own body, doesn't it just depend on their thoughts …?"
"Maybe I haven't practiced enough!" Thinking of this, Lu Chen continued to practice the Cloud Piercing Spear.
This year, Lu Chen was stuck at the third level. He had pierced countless times with the Cloud Piercing Spear. There wasn't enough bamboo, so he replaced it with rocks.
After tens of millions of practice, Lu Chen's fusion with the spear became even more perfect. This Nameless spear had already become Lu Chen's right-hand man.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After a year, Lu Chen's Qi Manipulation had finally reached the level of Qi Manipulation. Where the intent pointed, the spear would reach!
"I didn't expect the third level of the Earth Fiend Xuan Ming Spear to already involve Spear Intent. Although this spear technique is far from the God Slaying Spear Art, the depth of understanding of the spear technique is even higher than the God Slaying Spear Art."
After passing the bottleneck of the third level, Lu Chen began to practice the fourth level.
The fourth level required him to execute Qi Manipulation tens of millions of times!
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. "Good fellow, Meng Xi didn't lie to me. The difficulty of practicing the Dark Xuan Ming Spear is too scary … No wonder no one wants to practice it!"
"If no one wants to practice it, I'll practice it!" Lu Chen immediately adjusted his state and continued to execute the spear.
Not only did Lu Chen want to practice it, he wanted it to be perfect. The Dark Xuan Ming Spear required him to execute tens of millions of times, but Lu Chen doubled the requirements. He wanted both his hands to execute tens of millions of times!
…
Spring went to autumn, autumn went to winter … In this simple and crude camp, Lu Chen practiced day after day.
Yan Zhu's culinary skills were already the best in the West Prefecture City. His reputation had even spread far and wide. Even Dean Bai Xing no longer forced Lu Chen to personally cook.
However, Yan Zhu still respectfully addressed Lu Chen as his Master. Lu Chen didn't make an error in judgement. This kid was someone who valued friendship.
Of course, Lu Chen still kept his promise. Every month, he would go to the kitchen to cook a few times. Of course, if the Western Saint Spiritual Academy organized an event, he would also take some time to return to the kitchen.
However, he didn't put too much effort into it. If he was more meticulous, he would be able to make a dish that was even more delicious than Yan Zhu's. At that time, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Aside from those few times when he was the chef, Lu Chen wouldn't appear in any other place.
In these seven years, Lu Chen was like a translucent person. Aside from the Dean, Yan Zhu, Meng Xi, and Grandpa Chen, who would occasionally visit him, no one in the Western Saint Spiritual Academy remembered the existence of this youth.
Lu Chen had entered the Western Saint Spiritual Academy at the age of ten. This year, Lu Chen was already eighteen years old!
On this night, in the dense forest behind the kitchen, a beautiful figure flashed and disappeared into the forest.
Meng Xi looked around and said, "Previously, when I was secretly following Yan Zhu, I saw him walking in this direction. That's right!"
After going deep into the dense forest, Meng Xi finally saw a wooden house a dozen kilometers away.
"So it's here!" Meng Xi said proudly, "This time, I've finally found you. You actually live in this place! This is already out of the West Prefecture City's boundary! "
There was a large empty space beside the wooden house. There were many huge rocks piled up around the empty space. At this moment, there seemed to be a figure moving inside.
Meng Xi quietly sneaked over.
At this moment, a tall youth stood in the middle of the empty space. He was around 1.9 meters in height. Beside him stood a red spear that was half a head taller than him.
"Lu Chen … Hmm? What's he doing? "
Suddenly, the spear beside Lu Chen soared into the sky and pierced deeply into the ground.
At this moment, the ground within a thousand meters was like boiling water. Countless black mist surged out, as if it was a thousand meters in diameter and ten thousand meters in length!
The black spear soared into the sky and disappeared …
Looking at this scene, Meng Xi was so shocked that she was petrified …
Her big watery eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
She muttered, "This, this is … the ninth stage of the Earth Fiend Profound Dark Spear … Profound Sky Earth Fiend?!"
"How, how is this possible! How can someone cultivate the Profound Sky Earth Fiend?! "Meng Xi's mind was in a mess …
Before Meng Xi could react, she heard the person faintly say, "It's been eight years. There are some debts that should be settled clearly!"
