Chapter 57 One Year Later

  Collected more than 600, still short of 400, continue to explode, haha, continue collecting!

  After cultivating, Zhang Cheng felt that his body could indeed continue to accommodate more power, which made him let out a sigh of relief, and then his mind completely merged into the cultivation.

  However, the pleasure of this cultivation came quickly and went just as fast. In less than half a day's time, his body had already returned to its saturated state, unable to absorb even a fraction of power. This made Zhang Cheng feel not only depressed but also thought: "Perhaps the speed of cultivation is also a kind of sin!"

  So he had no choice but to grit his teeth and run under the waterfall again, only to be knocked down by a massive force before he could even climb up.

  But this time was much better than last time, at least I didn't vomit blood...

  Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. After being battered for two months, Zhang Cheng can now stay underwater at the bottom of the waterfall for half a time.

  However, during this period of time, Zhang Cheng couldn't do anything because he couldn't focus at all. As soon as he lost his concentration, the result would be that he would be washed away once again.

  However, he gradually discovered that the more seriously he was injured, the more obvious the effect of cultivating the Golden Bell Cover would be, with a sense of breaking and then standing.

  Ever since he discovered this, he has been self-abusing several times a day, and each time he abuses himself to the point of being covered in bruises, and only stops when he vomits up two liters of blood.

  However, the effect of doing so is also quite remarkable. In just two months' time, he has gained a considerable harvest, and his body can now smash a stone with one punch without any effort.

  With visible and tangible results, Zhang Cheng's training became even more crazy, every day he was breaking new records, striving to stay under the waterfall for a longer time, of course, the main purpose is to suffer some heavier injuries.

  Although the process was painful, his heart was extremely happy because his strength was increasing at a visible speed, how could he not be happy?

  Two months have passed, and Zhang Cheng's situation has changed again. He can now sit under the waterfall, but he still cannot multitask and can only focus on withstanding the impact of the waterfall.

  However, the time he stayed there was greatly extended. But what made him a little unhappy was that the impact of the waterfall at this moment could no longer cause great harm to him.

  He often stays under the waterfall for a whole day, and after several hours of work, he is completely cured, which makes him have to continue running under the waterfall.

  However, as time passed, the waterfall was no longer able to cause him harm, which caused his cultivation speed to rapidly decline, and eventually even reached a point where he found it difficult to make progress.

  Moreover, the most critical thing is that he still has a distance to go before reaching the boundary of the Golden Bell Cover, but at this moment, he is stuck at this crucial point, which makes him very depressed.

  In the end, he had no choice but to move his training place under the waterfall, focusing on both withstanding pressure and cultivating at the same time, so that his Golden Bell Shield could be slightly improved.

  Two months have passed in this way, and at this moment, Zhang Cheng can already practice the Golden Bell Cover under the waterfall, resist the impact of the waterfall, and practice the "Mizong Daxin Yin" at the same time.

  However, what surprised Zhang Cheng was that the "Mahayana Great Hand Seal" had a good effect in this place as well. After a long period of tempering, the speed of upgrading his soul and attracting spiritual energy also increased significantly.

  Moreover, the enhancement of spiritual energy absorption also indirectly accelerated the cultivation speed of the Golden Bell Cover, ultimately allowing the Golden Bell Cover to break through its own boundaries.

  In half a year, others may not be able to cultivate the Golden Bell Covering Body Realm in their entire lifetime, but Zhang Cheng mastered it completely in just half a year, which is undoubtedly a miracle.

  But this was neither Zhang Chengdong's first miracle nor his last.

  However, he couldn't relax yet, because although his body had reached the realm required by Dan Chenzi in half a year, his cultivation hadn't changed at all and was still that of a second-rate warrior.

  So he didn't leave in a hurry, but instead sat down to meditate beside the waterfall, and this one sitting lasted for half a year.

  During this time, Zhang Cheng practiced the Earth-Shattering Fist several times, thoroughly revising each move to make some slight changes that suited his current physical condition.

  After more than half a year of cultivation, Zhang Cheng's cultivation successfully broke through to the seventh-grade realm. Half a year ago, he was at the fifth grade, which means that on average, his cultivation increased by one grade every month or so, and this speed can be considered extremely fast.

  However, this was still a speed that Zhang Cheng had deliberately controlled. Otherwise, in these six months, he would have been able to break through the Qi Refining stage in one go.

  Because his current strength of the meridians has been enhanced by the Golden Bell Shield, it has already reached a level that an ordinary martial artist can't reach. Moreover, with the acceleration of the second seal of the "Mysterious Sect's Great Hand Seal" and the extremely fast absorption of spiritual energy from the "Xuānmén Tǔnà Shù", he can't help but become faster.

  Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly darted out from the thicket. Zhang Cheng took a closer look and it wasn't his "Pig Brother" who else could it be?

  "Little brother, you were here all along! I've been searching for you everywhere!" Chu Yan's face immediately lit up with a smile when he saw Zhang Cheng.

  "Brother Pig, what are you looking for me?" Zhang Cheng was somewhat puzzled, but when he saw that Chu Yan had a sika deer on his back, he immediately thought that he was craving food again.

  "Hehe, didn't Master Shibo tell you to be nice to me? Here, I just caught a six-eared deer, let's roast it and eat it together." Chu Yan said very generously.

  "This, Pig Brother, you see my cultivation is so low, how can I bear to take things out! The feeling of eating that piece of Red Crowned Crane meat before is still vivid in his memory, but the spiritual energy contained within was really too much for him, even if he ate another piece, he couldn't bear it."

  It's better to be out of sight and out of mind than to be somewhere and have a guilty conscience.

  "It's nothing, these six-eared deer and red-crowned crane are not comparable. At most, they can only be considered to have a bit more spirit than ordinary deer. As long as you don't eat too much, it's fine. Alright, stop making excuses, wait here, I'll go handle this guy by the waterfall." Chu Yan didn't say another word to Zhang Cheng and directly ran off to the side of the waterfall to get busy.
