The autumn air was crisp and the cool breeze was gentle. The sun hanging high in the sky brought a trace of warmth!
The sound of the waterfall was still roaring. One could faintly see the young man's figure stubbornly persevering within the waterfall.
"It's been almost two hours!" The faint figure in the distance muttered to himself as he looked at the time.
Ten days. Another ten days had passed. Ever since the Divine Martial Bloodline in Wang Chen's body had been stimulated, Wang Chen had benefited from it. His body had been strengthened once again. Over the past ten days, he had been progressing at an astonishing speed every day.
Now, he could persist under the waterfall and cultivate for an hour.
He no longer persisted in the horse stance. Instead, he sat cross-legged under the waterfall and began to cultivate. Lin Zhan was all too aware of the difficulty of this kind of cultivation.
On one hand, he had to withstand the huge impact. On the other hand, he had to absorb the surrounding Yuan Qi and transform it into Essential Aether to circulate within his body to resist the external pressure. At this moment, Wang Chen's mental strength had to be divided into three and run at the same time.
Finally, after two hours had passed, the figure began to tremble. Blue veins popped out. He had once again reached the critical point.
Wang Chen did not continue to persist. He let out a long breath and suddenly jumped out of the waterfall to the shore.
He was panting and blood oozed out of his pores. This was a sign that his body had reached its limit.
After what had happened last time, Wang Chen had originally hoped to use this method to stimulate the energy within the Divine Martial Bloodline. However, Lin Zhan had directly rejected it.
He would not be so lucky every time. Moreover, this kind of method would only bring harm to his body. More importantly, the energy was too unpredictable. If he could not stimulate it, the consequences could be imagined.
After panting for a while, Wang Chen gradually calmed down. His complexion gradually returned to normal. Only then did he walk to Lin Zhan's side. Without needing him to say anything, he walked straight to the edge of the wooden barrel and jumped in with a frown.
The deep chill assaulted him again, and each of his cells began to resist. However, with his previous experience and recent cultivation, Wang Chen was able to absorb these atoms and strengthen each of his cells.
After the first day of cultivation, he could faintly feel that he was at the doorstep of the Ninth Stage of Body Refining. Wang Chen thought that he would be able to break through very quickly, and even believed that if he had enough energy, he would be able to rush into the Ninth Stage of Body Refining in one go. However, these few days of cultivation made him realize that his thoughts were too naive.
Although there was only a thin line between the Refining Body Ninth Rank and the Refining Body Eighth Rank, the difference was like a thousand miles. As his level increased, the further he went, the more energy he needed to break through. It seemed like a small difference, but it took him a whole ten days to break through.
As Wang Chen inhaled and exhaled, the Yuan Qi from the outside world flowed into his mouth and nose like a white mist. Then, it was transformed into Zhenqi and integrated into his meridians. The water in the wooden bucket was still extremely cold, but it began to boil. The mist was not hot, but extremely cold.
"This time it should be about right!" Standing at the side of the wooden bucket, Lin Zhan watched quietly with some anticipation.
After ten whole days, with the help of the cold pond water, he should have almost reached the critical point of breaking through. He didn't know if he would succeed today.
Inside the wooden bucket, the cold pond water brought about a chill that wreaked havoc on Wang Chen's body.
This caused Wang Chen's face, which had just recovered a trace of blood, to once again become pale white.
Under the extreme cold, Wang Chen's teeth began to chatter, letting out a sharp sound, and his body slightly trembled.
Every time he inhaled and exhaled, it was as if he was inhaling and exhaling, appearing incomparably mystical. However, the pain within was something no one could imagine.
Finally, the water in the wooden bucket began to calm down, and the color of the silver-white cold pond water gradually faded. After the energy within was completely absorbed by Wang Chen, it gradually calmed down.
In the next moment, the Yuan Qi from the outside world sped up and rushed towards Wang Chen. With him as the center, it began to spread and gather.
Wang Chen's method of inhaling and exhaling changed once again, changing to the three long and two short breaths that he used after every breakthrough.
At this moment, it was as if time had frozen. Lin Zhan carefully guarded the side, guarding against any possible threat brought by demonic beasts.
Waiting was always a long time. After a long time, when everything in the outside world had calmed down, Wang Chen, who was inside the wooden bucket, let out a long breath. Lin Zhan's entire heart relaxed!
At this moment, Wang Chen lightly exhaled, turning into a white mist that dissipated into the air.
Then, he opened his eyes and slowly stood up, leaping out of the wooden bucket, his face filled with excitement.
"Ninth level of Body Refining Stage, my strength has indeed increased by a lot!" His two palms stacked together, and directly smashed forward!
Under the layers of stacking, his two palms became blurry and incomparably fast!
"Fifteen Stacked Waves!" With a light shout, Wang Chen used all his strength and blasted the big tree branch in front of him.
In an instant, the one meter tall tree let out a violent roar. After his strength reached its peak, Wang Chen left two empty palm prints in the tree, and debris flew in all directions.
This was even more difficult than breaking the tree. Without sufficient strength and speed, it was absolutely impossible to do.
"Nearly 4000 kg of strength!" Letting out a long breath, Wang Chen turned his head towards Lin Zhan and said with satisfaction.
After the breakthrough, he was able to display the Fifteen Stacked Waves of Wave Palm. At this moment, the strength that he exploded out had reached 4000 kg that was comparable to a rank 2 true martial artist. His own strength had also reached 3200 kg, surpassing the average rank 1 true martial artist.
This kind of progress could be said to be terrifying. One must know that as one's strength increased, the further one went, the more difficult it would be to increase. Any small increase in strength would bring about great difficulty.
"En, not bad, your physical strength should have reached almost 2000 kg now!" After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhan also nodded and added.
The so-called physical strength was the degree of resistance to physical attacks. In other words, even if Wang Chen's body withstood the bombardment of 2000 kg of strength, it would not bring him much harm. This meant that an ordinary rank 9 martial artist's full force attack on Wang Chen's body would not bring him much harm. It was enough to show the terrifying degree of his defense.
One must know that an ordinary rank 9 Body Refining Realm martial artist, even if their body was tyrannical, could at most reach the level of 500 kg of defense.
Wang Chen's strength exceeded the level of ordinary people by a whole fold. This level was enough to make too many people look up to and marvel at.
All of this was mainly due to the 20 days of cultivation under the waterfall and the help of the cold pond water. Of course, the remaining energy after the Divine Martial Bloodline energy burst out could not be ignored. With the help of these aspects, Wang Chen's physical strength could reach this level.
"There are 10 more days until the month end assessment. Spend more time in the next few days to earn points!" Thinking of the month end assessment, Lin Zhan said to Wang Chen with a trace of a sinister smile. That smile made people shudder.
Every time when they were plundering, Lin Zhan seemed to be more excited than Wang Chen. That expression often made Wang Chen feel as if he was being targeted by a big bad wolf.
"En, that's it. Kid, you should be ranked 71st now, right? That won't do. You must fight your way into the top 50 this month. Do you hear me? Of course, fighting your way into the top 30 is fine too. Don't embarrass me, you must know that I was … "Then, as if thinking of something, Lin Zhan shouted at Wang Chen excitedly. However, at the end of his sentence, he seemed to have thought of something and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this situation, Wang Chen asked doubtfully.
