Time was like sand. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In this half a month, Mu Chen underwent high-intensity training under the waterfall every day. The impact of the waterfall had pushed him into the lake countless times. The wooden stakes that fell down the waterfall had also smashed Mu Chen's fingers until they were swollen and red. If it was not for the Spiritual Energy circulating in Mu Chen's body, constantly nourishing his body and the bones in his fingers, Mu Chen would have been unable to endure it.
During the first five days of this half a month, Mu Chen would almost always be in a semi-conscious state. Then, he would be brought back by Teacher Mo. The boy was usually warm and sunny, which made people feel extremely comfortable. However, once he was determined to do something, he would be so persistent that even Teacher Mo would be slightly moved.
Fortunately, after going through the most difficult adaptation period of the first week, Mu Chen had indeed begun to display his talent. Although he still suffered quite a few injuries, it was much better than the first week when he could only return in a semi-conscious state.
As the days passed, Mu Chen's adaptation became stronger and stronger. Sometimes, he could even gradually catch up to the moment a gap appeared in the waterfall.
As for his finger, it had been heavily injured time and time again. Coupled with the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, it had been tempered to become even more lethal. Occasionally, if he was able to grasp the opportunity, he would be able to pierce through those wooden stakes.
The arduous training had finally begun to show results.
Of course, in this half a month, not only did Mu Chen improve, Tang Qian 'Er and the other three who were undergoing the pressure training under the waterfall also improved.
Of course, Chen Fan and Huo Yun had the greatest improvement.
After all, the two of them had already tried to condense a Spiritual Wheel.
Right now, they only needed to take a small step and they would be able to advance. Thus, on the thirteenth day of their training, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that the Spiritual Energy in their aurasea had completely condensed into a Spiritual Energy Light Wheel. Their Spiritual Energy had suddenly become vigorous.
He actually managed to shake off the torrential torrent of water.
Although the two of them had successfully advanced to the Spiritual Rotation Stage, Teacher Mo still let them continue to cultivate under the waterfall. This way, they could quickly stabilize their realm and prevent their Spiritual Energy from showing signs of being unstable.
When Tang Qian 'Er and Mo Ling saw that the duo had successfully advanced to the Spiritual Rotation Stage, they received quite a bit of stimulation. Their usual resting time was also greatly reduced as they gritted their teeth and endured the impact of the water flow.
He struggled to circulate the Spiritual Energy in his body in order to quickly advance to the Spiritual Rotation Stage.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky. Under the ice-cold waterfall, five figures were enduring the pressure, allowing time to pass.
Time passed quietly.
Rumble.
The waterfall flew down along the mountain stream and finally fell into the lake below, splashing water vapor that filled the sky.
At the edge of the lake, Teacher Mo stood with his hands behind his back.
He glanced at Tang Qian 'er and the other three who were cultivating under the waterfall and felt the increasingly powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
Nodding slightly, Zhang Xuan turned around and looked in another direction.
The waterfall there seemed to be even faster. The rumbling sound of the huge torrent of water was like a deep thunder that reverberated in the mountain stream.
Under the waterfall, there were several narrow wooden stakes. Mu Chen's figure was akin to an agile monkey as he leapt up and down the wooden stakes. His speed was extremely fast, and at times, only a shadow could be seen flashing by.
"Still not enough!"
However, Mu Chen wasn't satisfied with his own speed. On the contrary, he frowned his brows as the cold mist hit his face, causing his state of mind to become increasingly calm.
Dark-black Spiritual Energy surged out from Mu Chen's body and wrapped around his feet. At this moment, the rumbling sound that originally resounded in his ears seemed to have quietly disappeared.
The earth-shattering water flow suddenly descended.
Mu Chen lightly narrowed his eyes and in the next instant, his silhouette flew out, shuttling through the waterfall like a bolt of lightning. His speed had been raised to the limit at this moment.
Swoosh!
A blurry shadow appeared on a wooden stake. The water flowed past and directly passed through it. It was actually an afterimage that was formed due to the high speed!
"Eh?"
Teacher Mo, who had been observing from the edge of the lake, narrowed his eyes and let out a soft sound of surprise.
At this moment, Mu Chen seemed to be isolated from the outside world. He could feel that his body seemed to have become a lot lighter. The turbulent water flow that was originally unfathomable in his eyes seemed to have become slower. He could even see a little gap in the water curtain.
As long as he passed through these gaps, he would not be touched by the waterfall at all!
Swoosh!
Mu Chen's figure blurred as he flew out. Dark-black Spiritual Energy continued to surge under his feet as a blurred figure appeared. His figure was like a black line as he shuttled through the gaps of the waterfall.
Swoosh!
Just as Mu Chen's figure passed through the gaps of the water flow, a black shadow violently whistled along the turbulent water flow.
Mu Chen's eyes were still calm. Two of his fingers curled and paused for a moment. Then, his arm stretched out in a perfectly straight manner. His fingers were like a sharp spear that tore through the water vapor. With an extremely accurate momentum, he heavily pointed at the center of the wooden stake that was rapidly flowing along the water flow.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out. Mu Chen's fingers had actually directly pierced through the wooden stake. Wood splinters flew and were washed away by the water flow.
A kind of joy surged within Mu Chen's heart. This was the first time he felt the most comfortable in the past twenty days. There was not the slightest bit of hesitation. The circulation of his strength was like water flowing into a canal.
"Haha!"
An indescribable joy rang out in Mu Chen's heart. Then, he could not help but let out a long laugh. His figure moved and turned into a black line that shuttled back and forth under the waterfall.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
While his figure was shuttling back and forth, his attacks did not stop at all. His fingers were like lightning and he grasped every precise opportunity to pierce through all the wooden stakes that passed by him.
The low and deep sound seemed to have formed a string of beautiful rhythmic notes at this moment.
Tang Qian 'Er and the others, who were training on the other side of the waterfall, were also awakened by the rhythmic sound. Their gazes followed the sound and they saw a ghost-like figure shuttling back and forth under the waterfall. They were immediately somewhat dumbfounded.
"This … madman."
Chen Fan could not help but grin. After he advanced to the Spiritual Rotation Stage, he was actually unconvinced and tried to train like Mu Chen. However, the result was that he was instantly swept away the moment he jumped onto the wooden stake. Later on, he could only use Spiritual Energy to wrap his body and forcefully try it out. However, in the end, he was ruthlessly sent flying by the wooden stake that passed through the water flow.
Right now, Mu Chen was actually able to walk on the wooden stake that was being battered by the waterfall as if it was flat ground. Moreover, he did not forget to pierce through all the wooden stakes that passed by. How terrifying was his speed and finger strength?
The only person in the entire Northern Spiritual Academy that could fight against this kind of monster was probably the West Branch's Liu Mubai.
Beside the lake, Teacher Mo also nodded his head in satisfaction.
Under the gazes of Tang Qian 'Er, Chen Fan and the others as if they were looking at a monster, Mu Chen finally stopped after ten minutes. He stabilized his feet on a wooden stake.
He stabilized his body, but he did not retreat. Instead, he sat down cross-legged under the puzzled gazes of Tang Qian 'Er and the others. Dark-black Spiritual Energy rose from his body and resisted the impact of the water flow.
Tang Qian 'Er and the others looked at Mu Chen's strange actions and were slightly stunned. Then, they felt that there seemed to be a special Spiritual Energy fluctuation emitting from Mu Chen's body.
"This is …"
Teacher Mo's eyebrows slightly twitched: "His Cultivation Method and Spiritual Art suddenly had a breakthrough?"
Teacher Mo's guess was indeed correct. Previously, Mu Chen only felt that there was an indescribable comfortable feeling in his body. When he pushed his speed to the limit, he realized that the Spiritual Energy in his body actually started to circulate on its own. That route was the circulation route of the Great Pagoda Art.
The dark black Spiritual Energy surged and finally flowed into his aura sea. Mu Chen's mind immediately followed it. Then, he was surprised to see that above the Spiritual Wheel in his aura sea, the dark black Spiritual Energy rose up and condensed bit by bit. Then, it formed into an illusory light tower that was about the size of a palm.
This light tower was extremely illusory, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind. Looking carefully, this tower seemed to have nine floors. However, other than the foundation of the tower, which was somewhat solid, the rest of the tower was illusory and blurry.
However, at the instant when the illusory light pagoda was formed, Mu Chen could sense mysterious lights lighting up within his body. Those lights covered the depths of his body. If one were to take a closer look, one would realise that if those lights were to be linked together, they would form a large light pagoda within Mu Chen's body!
And when this light tower appeared, the dark black Spiritual Energy surged on the surface of Mu Chen's body. It seemed to have formed an indistinct black light tower.
This light pagoda protected his entire body within it.
Rumble.
The majestic waterfall fell down and smashed against the indistinct black light tower. However, the latter did not move a single bit.
However, this black light tower only lasted for an instant before it rapidly dissipated. When the light tower disappeared, Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes slowly opened. His eyes were filled with unconcealable ecstasy.
The Great Pagoda Art that he cultivated actually advanced to the Transformation Realm at this moment!
