In front of the empty woodshed, Chen Zisong raised the ax in his hand high. As he shouted, the dark ax head faintly sounded the sound of wind and thunder, and in the blink of an eye, the log in front of him was blown away.
The swing of the ax split the firewood into sticks of even size.
"well--"
Chen Zisong put down the ax in his hand and sighed in a low voice while gathering up the scattered firewood sticks on the ground. He thought to himself: This Feng Lei Jin is very good at chopping firewood, but this bottleneck is really torturous in practice!
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since Chen Zisong came to Mujiabao. At first, he started to practice "Wind and Thunder Power" and it went smoothly. He developed the inner power in less than half a month.
He officially became a first-grade martial artist. He broke through the first bottleneck in two and a half months and was promoted from first-grade martial artist to second-grade martial artist.
By the fourth month, Chen Zisong had reached the pinnacle of the second-level martial arts training and encountered the second bottleneck. As a result... he has been stuck until now. The one-year period is about to expire, but
That damn bottleneck still shows no sign of loosening, and Chen Zisong is still in the second-grade martial arts realm.
In ten days, it will be one year since Chen Zisong entered Mujiabao. If he still has not made a breakthrough by then, it means that he will be deprived of his status as a martial arts disciple and expelled from Mujiabao.
Now that things have happened, Chen Zisong's ambition to reach the fifteenth level of martial arts has long since disappeared. As long as he can break through to the third level, he will immediately choose to change his martial arts without hesitation.
I no longer suffer from this torture.
For eight months, I practiced hard every day, but my skills always stayed at the same position. No matter how much I practiced, there was no improvement at all. That feeling was really enough to make people feel desperate!
And this is only the second bottleneck of "Feng Lei Jin". When the next bottleneck is twice as difficult as this one, won't it mean that you will be stuck for at least one or two years? If you are promoted a few more times, then
Being stuck in a bottleneck for more than ten or twenty years is nothing! If he really wants to rely on his own perseverance to practice to the fifteenth level of martial arts bit by bit, it probably won't take him four or five hundred years to do it.
It is possible to reach that state...but how can he live such a long life?
After clearing up the firewood pile, Chen Zisong went to the well and washed his hands, and then walked slowly towards the dining hall. Not far away, Chen Zisong saw Chang Qiusheng, his junior brother who entered Mujiabao at the same time as him. This guy
As he walked, he made random gestures in the air with his hands, as if he was practicing some martial arts.
Chen Zisong knew that Chang Qiusheng had already broken through to the third level of martial arts when he started five months ago, and then switched to other techniques. He should be at the fifth or sixth level of martial arts now! Because according to Mujiabao
According to the rules, only disciples of martial arts level five or above can start learning martial arts.
For martial arts cultivators, both kung fu and martial arts are indispensable. Martial arts must rely on kung fu to perform. If you only know kung fu but have not practiced martial arts, you will only have brute strength in vain.
When you meet a martial artist with excellent martial arts skills, even if they are two or three levels lower than you, they can easily beat you to the ground!
Chen Zisong is still stuck in the second-grade martial arts realm, so naturally he is not qualified to learn martial arts, so when he sees Chang Qiusheng walking there practicing martial arts, he can only be silently envious.
"Ouch... isn't this Senior Brother Chen?" Chang Qiusheng saw Chen Zisong from a distance, and immediately blinked and came over, then with a sadistic smile on his face, he said: "How has Senior Brother Chen been practicing recently? He has broken through to
What level are you at! I just heard...Senior Brother Zhao Zhengfeng, who started with us, broke through to the seventh level of martial arts yesterday.
!Seventh level of martial arts apprentice... It is really enviable! Being able to practice to the seventh level of martial arts apprentice in the first year of entry, even among the inner disciples, is already very unbelievable. Maybe Senior Brother Zhao will
You have been promoted to an inner disciple under special circumstances! Senior Brother Chen... How long will it take for you to reach the seventh level of martial arts disciple? Will you be one step faster than me..."….
Among the ten people who became Mujiabao outer sect disciples at the same time, only Chen Zisong has not yet broken through to the third level of martial arts disciple. This matter has long become a joke among the outer sect disciples.
In fact, in Mujiapu, the outer disciples like them are already the poorest people at the bottom. Any inner disciple who comes here can treat them like animals and drink them. Maybe they are oppressed too much.
, which caused some darkness in the hearts of these people, and they loved to take advantage of Chen Zisong for fun no matter what happened. How could Chen Zisong be the most useless among the outer disciples!
Chen Zisong did not argue with Chang Qiusheng, nor did he speak out to defend himself. He just turned around silently and walked straight towards the back mountain, not even going to the canteen...
The back mountain is a desolate woodland. Except for Chen Zisong and two other outer disciples who come here to chop firewood during the day, there is almost no one around.
Chen Zisong sat depressed in an open space in the forest, watching the sunset slowly setting on the horizon, and then looking at the two round night suns, one large and one small (the moon in this world, because of its higher brightness)
, illuminating the night sky, so it was called the night sun) slowly rose into the sky, and only then did his chaotic emotions slowly calm down.
So what if I can't advance to the third level of martial arts within a year? What if I'm expelled from Mujiabao? The worst I can do is practice this "Wind and Thunder Strength" to the end! Maybe I was just slow at the beginning.
Well, maybe it will be faster in the later stages! If I can really practice to the fifteenth level of martial arts, wouldn’t I be prosperous...
Although Chen Zisong himself knows that the possibility of practicing this technique faster in the later stages is almost zero, but in the face of the current situation, he can only use this method that is close to self-hypnosis to relieve himself.
, otherwise, the more he falls into this anxious mood, the lower his hope of breaking through the bottleneck will be.
After he relaxed a little, Chen Zisong felt his stomach growling with hunger. He was already growing up, and he had to do strenuous chores every day, so he would feel hungry after eating and at night.
Just scream, let alone miss a meal.
But at this time, if you go to the canteen, you will definitely not have anything to eat. Fortunately, Chen Zisong also has his own way to solve the problem of hunger. He stood up immediately, raised his head and looked around. After a while, he heard a "Plop" sound.
The sound of "lulu" came from far and near. It sounded like two gray geese looking for food at night.
Chen Zisong's spirit perked up, and he immediately thought. Then he saw the shadow on the ground reflected by the night sun suddenly swaying, separated from his body in the blink of an eye, and flew towards the direction of the gray goose.
ran over, and right there
At the same time that the shadow clone separated from the main body, another shadow quietly appeared at Chen Zisong's feet. If someone hadn't been observing carefully, it would be difficult to discover that in this moment, Chen Zisong had actually split into a clone.
"Whoosh -" Just when Chen Zisong's shadow clone had just climbed up a seven to eight-foot-tall silver fir tree, two gray geese flew up in the night sky. The shadow clone immediately kicked hard on the branches with both feet.
The body composed entirely of shadows immediately swayed lightly
Straight up, he jumped to a height of about five feet, and just hugged the head of the gray goose behind him. Because the shadow clone has no body weight, not only does it run at an amazing speed, but its jumping power is also really terrifying, and it can even reach the sky.
You can catch all the flying birds.
"Gah——" Although the gray goose couldn't see the shadow clone, he really felt that there was something extra on his body, and immediately let out a sharp cry. However, the shadow clone had already hugged the gray goose's wings and used both hands.
One hand tightly bound the two wings of the gray goose together, so the gray goose could no longer maintain its flying state. It tilted its body and fell from the air...
Chen Zisong carried a fire knife and flint with him. After he successfully hunted a gray goose, he immediately gathered some dry firewood and lit it. Since he was eight years old, he often went hunting in the mountains with his father, so he was most interested in curing game.
He is good at it. He knows that if the gray goose is directly put on the fire,
If he went to roast it, it would be burnt by the flames and chewed up. It would be as unpalatable as possible. So he planned to wait until the fire was fully burned, blow out the open flame, and then eat the gray goose wrapped in yellow mud.
Buried in firewood ashes and baked for half an hour, it will turn into fragrant roasted goose!
It took a while for the fire to burn out. Chen Zisong and his shadow clones sat beside the fire for a while, staring at the dancing flames in a daze. Then they felt that it was better to be idle anyway.
Practice "Wind and Thunder Power" for a while, although
Although he knew that he was stuck at a bottleneck, and no matter how hard he practiced, his inner strength would not increase even a little bit, but if he continued to practice, there would always be a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough. If he really gave up, then he would really be stuck forever.
We can no longer get past this bottleneck!
Chen Zisong has practiced this second-level technique of "Wind and Thunder Strength" countless times. As long as he has the right posture, he doesn't even need to deliberately guide it with his thoughts, and the internal force in his body will naturally follow the instructions.
That familiar trajectory quickly circulates through the meridians...
If he is practicing normally, every time this internal force circulates in his body for a week, he will naturally absorb a faint trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through exhalation and breathing, and then integrate it into his Dantian and turn it into internal force, making him
Improve your cultivation a little.
However, because Chen Zisong was still stuck at the bottleneck at this time, even if he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the operation of his internal energy, these spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not be integrated into his Dantian. They just circulated in his body, and then
Then it dissipated again, which was just a useless effort.
However...a moment later, when Chen Zisong recovered from another failure, he suddenly realized that his shadow clone had practiced the "Wind and Thunder Power" just like his main body.
Law.
At this moment, Chen Zisong has split his consciousness into two parts, but the two parts of consciousness are still controlled by the same thought, and he has already practiced the second level of "Feng Lei Jin" to the level of proficiency.
, so just now, without him deliberately controlling it, both parts of his consciousness actually did the same thing at the same time.
Because after Chen Zisong's shadow clone is split, apart from not having a real body, it will basically copy all the abilities and instincts of the original body, and it will naturally have about one-tenth of the strength of the original body. After all, the current Chen Zisong is also
He is a second-grade warrior, so even though his shadow clone has no entity, it still has some internal power.
In this way, when he unconsciously let the shadow clone enter the training state, the weak internal force in the shadow actually ran according to the "Wind and Thunder Strength" technique route for a week, without any deviation during the period.
It's as if there is also a shadow clone
There were invisible meridians. But Chen Zisong's shadow clone was not in a bottleneck state, so after running the technique for a week, he was surprised to find that the internal force existing in the shadow clone actually followed.
