Chapter 5: Jiaolong Body

  "Fifty-one, fifty-two...... one hundred thirty-five, one hundred thirty-six...... three hundred!"

  In a spacious room, many heavy sandbags hung down from the beams, and behind each sandbag stood a burly man. They held onto the sandbags, and when the bare-chested young man appeared beside any of them, that sandbag would be fiercely pushed towards him.

  At this time, the young man was not dodging the sandbag to exercise his agility, but instead used his seemingly sturdy yet actually frail body to withstand the sandbag's fierce impact.

  Pong!

  The fierce crashing sound echoed in the room, causing many strong men to be unable to bear looking at the young man in the middle.

  "Little master, 300 times already, more than last time, you can take a rest now." A loud voice with a hoarse tone shouted out after the sandbag.

  I can still hold on, keep going!

  In the center of the arena, Chen Ye was panting heavily at night, his body swaying back and forth, yet he was shouting loudly. The voice sounded incredibly trembling, but it had a kind of persistence that was impossible to refuse!

  "Little master..."

  "Come on!" Zhenye shouted loudly, and as he did, his body swayed even more violently, as if he was about to fall over at any moment.

  At this moment, everyone in the house hoped that Chen Ye would fall down, but he was like a lone boat in a stormy sea, no matter how hard he was blown, he never capsized!

  "Master is here!"

  At that moment, the burly man in front of him, with eyes wide open, showing a hint of unbearable pain and great admiration, pushed forward the sandbag in front of him and heavily struck it.

  At the age of weak crown, with the cultivation of three layers of Xuan Qi like tonight's date, he forcibly used his body to withstand the heavy impact of sandbags 300 times. Such an achievement is something that these burly men present cannot do, but Chen Ye did it!

  As the young master of the Zhen Guo Wang, Chen Ye had an identity that commanded respect not only in his own household but throughout the imperial capital. There were few people who dared to be disrespectful to him, but this lack of disrespect was due to his status rather than anything inherent to himself.

  Nowadays, anyone who knows the name Chen Ye is aware that this young man, who was once incredibly intelligent and had a heavenly appearance, also known as a prodigy, has already fallen from his pedestal four years ago.

  So most people are superficially in awe of him, but secretly they don't think much of him at all.

  This scene today made all these people present admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

  A person, without innate talent, can't even enter the path of martial arts, it's true that many people will look down on him or even mock him, but if he gives up everything because of this and becomes decadent from then on, that's what truly deserves contempt!

  The persistence of Chen Ye at night, the people present did not know whether it would have a great impact on his martial arts path, but this move shocked their hearts.

  Pong!

  Hit by the sandbag, Chen Ye's body was like a bird with broken wings, sliding out a long arc in mid-air before finally falling to the ground, his body trembling violently.

  "Little master!"

  "Let's go out and let the young master rest, don't disturb him!"

  Those great men, although unclear whether Chen Ye's actions would be useful or not, all understood that Chen Ye was now at the critical juncture of his limit. If he could survive this limit, it would bring enormous benefits to everyone.

  Everyone hastily tiptoed away, leaving the empty room with only Chen Ye's heavy breathing sounding like a cow.

  But just in this extreme weakness, in the void, a stream of invisible air flows, though unseen, can be felt, rapidly rushing towards the surface of the earth.

  Then, with rapid breathing, these air currents, thread by thread, rushed into his body, under the slow operation of the skill method, slowly refining these air currents, and then penetrating into the flesh and bones.

  He quietly lay on the ground at night, still allowing the Xuan Qi to penetrate and relieve his physical bones.

  What he is doing now, although those mysterious energies have only merged into his physical body and bones, for his own cultivation, it has no use whatsoever. But Chen Ye's current confidence, the driving force that allows him to persist, is precisely this kind of cultivation!

  Cultivation has internal and external aspects. The internal aspect is the mysterious energy, although the mysterious energy is an eternal theme in the hearts of cultivators, it is not the only one; otherwise, there would be no distinction between internal and external.

  Physical cultivation is also a path of cultivation, it's just that compared to the cultivation of Xuan Qi, the former is more difficult to sustain.

  The foundation of the night was destroyed, and the mysterious energy went all the way. For him, it's already over for the time being, so if he wants to achieve what he didn't in his past life, he must take another path.

  Physical training, the kind that constantly challenges the limits of the body and strengthens it, produces intense pain that those with a weak mind cannot endure.

  Just like Chen Ye just now, such a big sandbag, continuously hitting it three hundred times, an ordinary person would have fallen down long ago.

  The effect is... ... Constantly strengthening one's physical body, after cultivating the flesh to a state of perfection, the fist's energy bursts through the heavens and earth, tearing apart the land, destroying space, with an incredibly powerful destructive force that is not weaker than that of a master who has cultivated their Xuan Qi to its utmost limit, and may even surpass it.

  In his past life, when Chen Ye found this path suitable for his cultivation, it wasn't long before the Chen family was purged by the imperial family on a trumped-up charge.

  Starting all over again, memories are still there, the foundation is still there. This road for Chen Ye will no longer be so difficult and has lost its original mysteriousness.

  So, Chen Ye has placed all his hopes on physical training now. As long as he can persist, he will definitely persist and today's extra effort will bring more strength tomorrow!

  Time quietly slipped away, the young man lying on the floor, his breathing had gradually stabilized, and the heavenly energy gathered around him was also increasing.

  Wrapped in a thick aura, the young man seemed to have fallen asleep... The only change was that his body had already exceeded its limits, and the speed at which the surrounding aura poured in was much faster than before.

  At the same time, a soft white light burst forth, rapidly oscillating and covering the entire empty room. Then, with Chen Ye's body as the center, the white light retreated back into his body, bringing with it all the heavenly spiritual energy that had been covered by the white light.

  This is no longer absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There is a fundamental difference between the two!

  With the help of a small knife, the majestic heavenly energy entered his body, and it didn't even make Chen Ye's body swell up, nor did he feel any discomfort at all.

  Time flew by without stopping for a moment, and at one instant, the quietly lying young man suddenly moved his hands, and in an instant, a fierce aura that was almost like a wild beast burst out of his body.

  "It's actually succeeded!"

  With a soft murmur, the young man stood up straight and immediately clenched his fist, punching heavily at the huge sandbag in front of him.

  "Boom!"

  The fist's power is not only as thick and heavy as a mountain, but also when the fist strikes out, on top of that mighty force, suddenly, a huge, illusory skull appears, faintly floating.

  At this point in time, the young man's body gave people a feeling as if it had undergone a huge change, looking like a fierce beast.

  Combining with that huge skull, if someone recognizes it, they would find out that it is actually a ferocious dragon!

  Fierce dragon head, with an unstoppable force, directly pierced through the sandbag, and even the sand spilled from the bag was blown into finer dust under such a powerful impact!

  Watching this scene, the young man burst into silent laughter!

  Although this power may not be considered significant compared to the truly advanced masters who have entered the gate of Xuan Qi cultivation, it is a major breakthrough for Chen Ye on this path, and it is an extremely solid step forward.
