The Great Ruler - Chapter77

Northern Spiritual Academy, Back Mountain

This was a lush forest filled with greenery. A huge waterfall, like a silver anaconda, hung down from the mountain stream. The sound of the waterfall falling caused a mist to spread out.

Teacher Mo stood under the waterfall with his hands behind his back. In front of him were Mu Chen, Tang Qian'er, Mo Ling, Chen Fan, and Huo Yun.

"From today onwards, I will conduct specialized training for all of you. Other than Mu Chen, the rest of you must officially advance to the Spiritual Rotation Stage within a month. Otherwise, you will lose the qualification to fight for a spot in the Five Great Academies." Teacher Mo looked at the few people and said faintly.

Hearing these words, Tang Qian 'Er, Chen Fan and the others' expressions became a bit more serious. The reason why they were training in the Northern Spiritual Academy was for the quota of the Five Great Academies. If they lost this qualification, it would be an irresistible blow for them.

"The four of you are already at the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage Late Stage. Even Chen Fan and Huo Yun have begun to condense their Spiritual Wheels. However, all of you are still a step away. Therefore, all of you need to borrow some external pressure to activate the Spiritual Power in your body to condense a wheel."

"External pressure?" Chen Fan and the others looked at each other.

"Do you see this waterfall?"

Teacher Mo smiled and pointed at the waterfall that was rumbling loudly behind him. Countless streams of water poured down in torrents, and with a powerful force, it hit the rocks below, splashing water mist all over the sky.

"From today onwards, the four of you will sit under this waterfall and cultivate. Use all of your spiritual energy to resist the impact of the waterfall. The external pressure will gradually be transmitted into your bodies and the spiritual energy in your Qi Seas will gradually be compressed into a wheel."

"Ah?"

Chen Fan and the others were dumbfounded. Cultivating under the waterfall?

Such a terrifying impact.

He would probably feel dizzy after a minute, right?

"There are no shortcuts in cultivation. If you want to advance to the Spiritual Rotation Stage within a month, you must use ruthless methods. If you can't even do this, then I don't think you can compete for the quota!" Teacher Mo said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Chen Fan and the other three answered hurriedly.

"If the Spiritual Energy in your body is unable to continue, retreat temporarily, recover your Spiritual Energy, and then continue back!" Mentor Mo's sharp eyes swept across and said.

"Yes!"

"You may begin." Mentor Mo waved his hand.

Said.

Tang Qian 'Er and the others looked at each other. Then, they gritted their teeth and spirit energy surged out from their bodies. Their figures flew out and swept across the wide river.

Finally, it landed below the waterfall.

Bang, bang, bang!

However, just as they landed under the waterfall, before they could even sit down, they were swept into the lake by the powerful impact, and all of them were immediately drenched.

The four of them crawled out of the lake and the spiritual energy within their bodies continuously surged out. They forcefully resisted the impact of the water and sat down cross-legged.

Then, he clenched his teeth and endured the pain caused by the impact of the water. He circulated his spiritual power and resisted.

Mu Chen looked at the four people sitting under the waterfall.

He also secretly clicked his tongue. This kind of training intensity was really quite heavy. As expected of a devil training.

"Mu Chen."

Teacher Mo looked at Mu Chen.

This made the latter's heart skip a beat. He had a bad premonition.

"Those two spirit arts.

You've already read them, right? "Teacher Mo asked indifferently.

Mu Chen nodded.

"Your training ground is over there."

Teacher Mo pointed at the bottom of the river. Mu Chen looked over and his scalp suddenly felt numb. He saw that the waterfall was pouring down from a high place without any obstruction. If Tang Qian 'Er and the others had some rocks above them that could reduce the impact, then his place was really flat without any obstruction.

Moreover, the most important thing was that under the waterfall, there seemed to be wooden stakes the size of two feet standing upright.

"If you want to successfully learn Shadowspirit Step, it's very simple. You just need to be able to shuttle back and forth between those wooden stakes, and your body doesn't get wet." Teacher Mo said.

"What?"

Mu Chen was stunned. Shuttle back and forth, but not get wet? Is this possible?

"These waterfalls are not continuous, but there is a momentary gap. If you want to achieve this condition, then you must make sure your speed can keep up with the gap of the water."

Mu Chen let out a bitter laugh. This difficulty was really not small. However, it was indeed an excellent way to train one's agility.

"In addition, Spirit King Finger is fierce and fierce. With your current level of training, you are still unable to learn Spirit King Finger. Therefore, your fingers must also receive training. I will let the wooden stakes pour down from the waterfall from time to time. What you need to do is to use your fingers to pierce through these wooden stakes that are whizzing past." Teacher Mo slowly said.

Mu Chen's scalp went numb again. How strong was the force of the wooden stakes rushing down from such a fast speed?

Moreover, the speed was so fast. If he was slightly distracted, he would miss it. If he wanted to pierce through it, he must grasp the moment when the wooden stakes passed by. This not only required perfect control of the speed of one's hand, but it also required extremely strong training of the fingers.

"What?

Are you afraid? "Teacher Mo said indifferently.

"Although it's a little troublesome, it's not to the extent of being afraid."

Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his handsome face gradually turned calm. It was so much so that within his black pupils, eagerness to give it a try appeared.

"Okay."

Seeing this, Teacher Mo nodded his head in satisfaction: "Then, let's begin."

Mu Chen also nodded his head. Without the slightest hesitation, his figure moved and directly swept across the surface of the water. Like a swallow, he rushed into the ferocious waterfall and landed on a narrow wooden stake.

Boom Boom!

The powerful water fiercely rushed down. The tip of Mu Chen's foot hurriedly tapped on the wooden stake and his figure rushed toward the wooden stake in front of him.

Bang!

However, just when his body rushed out, a powerful water flow had already rushed down and instantly pushed him into the lake below. He had underestimated the speed of the water flow here.

Mu Chen spat out the lake water in his mouth. His palm slapped the surface of the water and his body jumped onto another wooden stake. His expression was completely solemn. On his body, Spiritual Energy surged out and resisted the impact of the water flow.

In the beginning, he clearly had to use Spiritual Energy to protect his body. Only then could he gradually get used to it.

Mu Chen concentrated and his figure rushed out once again. He passed through the water flow and landed on another wooden stake. However, just when he was about to jump out again, he heard a strange sound coming from the water flow. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a black figure following the water flow and fiercely rushing over.

It was a wooden stake mixed in the water flow.

Mu Chen bent two of his fingers and in the next instant, he fiercely stabbed out.

His two fingers were like a long spear, stirring up layers of water vapor. When the black figure instantly passed in front of him, he fiercely stabbed it.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out. The wooden stake was actually pushed back a little and there were no signs of it being pierced through. Then, it followed the water flow and rushed into the lake below.

Seeing that his attack had no effect, Mu Chen also grinned. An intense pain came from the tip of his finger. The wooden stake had been soaked in the lake water and with this kind of speed, it was simply harder than iron. Furthermore, he could not use Spiritual Energy. This kind of collision made him feel as if the bones at the tip of his finger were about to shatter.

Bang!

While he was slightly distracted, the rapid waterfall poured down again and directly blasted Mu Chen into the lake.

"Damn it!"

Mu Chen popped his head out of the lake and fiercely cursed. Then, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain from his fingertips. Once again, he flipped his body and pushed his speed to the limit as he directly rushed out.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Under the waterfall, a figure constantly rushed out and was constantly mercilessly pushed into the lake by the water flow. The powerful force made him dizzy, but he was also stubborn. He endured the pain all over his body and gritted his teeth to rush out, constantly increasing his speed.

Sometimes, even though he managed to avoid the impact of the water, the wooden stakes that flowed down the water tormented his fingers unbearably.

Not far away, Tang Qian 'Er and the other three who were sitting cross-legged under the waterfall heard the commotion and quietly opened their eyes to take a look. Immediately, they shivered. Although they did not personally try it, just by looking at it, they knew that Mu Chen's side was even fiercer than theirs.

Beside the lake, Teacher Mo stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm as he looked at the figure under the waterfall. If he wanted to succeed, he must first pay the price.

For the entire afternoon, the figure tirelessly shuttled back and forth under the waterfall. During this period, even Tang Qian 'Er and the others had to rest twice. However, he did not stop the somewhat masochistic training.

When the sun was setting, Tang Qian 'Er and the other three dragged their exhausted bodies ashore. All of them were so tired that their faces were pale. They sat on the ground without any hesitation and panted heavily.

Seeing this, Teacher Mo said, "Today's training ends here."

Just as Tang Qian 'Er and the others let out a sigh of relief, their vision darkened again because of the next sentence.

"We'll continue tomorrow."

Tang Qian 'Er and the others powerlessly sat on the ground and rested for a while. However, they heard a "putong" sound coming from not far away. They raised their heads and saw that the thin figure did not seem to have heard Teacher Mo's words. He was still standing there like a machine, getting knocked over again and again and climbing back up again and again.

Although they could sense that the figure had become a little sluggish due to exhaustion, that skinny body seemed to be supported by a soul that moved one's countenance, allowing him to not collapse.

"Teacher Mo is almost at his limit!" Tang Qian 'Er bit her red lips. She could not bear to look away and looked at Teacher Mo.

Mo Fei slowly shook his head and said softly, "This is his own choice. The reason why he is stronger than you is not just because of his talent. Mu Feng has a pretty good son."

Chen Fan and the others had a complicated expression as they stared at the tired figure under the waterfall. Their hearts had a rare feeling of admiration. If Mu Chen's talent was stronger than theirs, they would say that it was a gift from the heavens. However, Mu Chen's willpower made them have to admit it.

This guy was really abnormal.
