Chapter 160 - Body Foundation Establishment!
Chapter 160 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" introduces new challenges: This stone blocking the door must weigh at least several hundred jin.No wonder they say,... Keep following!
This stone blocking the door must weigh at least several hundred jin.No wonder they say, once your body is like Vajra, you can rival those at Foundation Establishment.
With this kind of strength, which close-combat Foundation Establishment cultivator could take a punch from me?
Strength is already like this, but what about speed?
Ji Yuan came out from beneath the cliff, looked up at the ledge overhead, then bent his knees slightly, and exploded with force.
"Boomâ"
The ground shuddered slightly, and Ji Yuanâs figure shot up like a cannonball. He tapped a few times against the face of the cliff and in a blink was on top of it.
Standing here, Ji Yuan shifted his heart thought, controlling the Mist Array in this area and gently dispersed some of the mist.
The mist parted, and the morning sun shone down from the horizon.
The mist, illuminated by the sunrise, seemed to become wisps of purple energy.
Ji Yuan was bare-chested, his black hair loose and flying wildly.
Looking at the scene before him, he fought the urge to let out a long howl, finally leaping straight up atop the cliff.
He didnât use his full strengthâjust jumped a few dozen meters before plummeting straight down.
"Bangâ"
With a huge crash, Ji Yuan pulled himself out from the earth. Staring at the wide-eyed big toad in front of him, he laughed loudly:
"Come, come, Brother Ha! Letâs have a real go today!"
Before the big toad could react, Ji Yuan had already rushed at it, fist swinging.
The toad was neither too big nor too small. Its strength, to the current Ji Yuan, wasnât too strong or too weak either.
Perfect for getting some practice, for sharpening this suddenly boosted physique of his.
And so man and toad started brawling right there on Mist Island.
Old trees collapsed one after another, and Ji Yuan plowed deep grooves through the earth again and again.
Until half an hour passed.
Ji Yuan then crawled up from a muddy pit heâd smashed into, panting as he waved his hand: "Thatâs it, thatâs it, Iâm done."
The big toad, now full of battle fury, saw this and landed in front of him, no longer attacking.
Ji Yuan didnât feel so good, and the big toad was about the same.
It was tough and strong, but slow to adapt; Ji Yuan relied on his agile moves to keep entangling it up close.
His fists, like iron hammers, rained down on its body.
So now the big toad was hurting all over, with quite a few places more than just bruisedâthe skin was split and the flesh torn where Ji Yuan had struck him.
Luckily, it was thick-skinned and hearty.
No big deal.
A few days of rest, and itâll be fine.
If only there were some Spirit Pig meat to eat... then itâd heal even faster!
During the month or so while Ji Yuan was in seclusion and breaking through, the toad had digested all that Spirit Pig meat, and now its belly was empty again.
"Gwaaâ"
It called after the departing Ji Yuan, its tone a little forlorn.
Back in the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan first put on his magic robe. After cleaning himself up, he felt a sense of unprecedented ease running through his body.
Especially after that all-out fight with the big toad, the former strangeness and unfamiliarity with his body had totally vanished.
Now, whether it was strength or speed, he was once again fully in control.
Just thinking about how strong he was, Ji Yuan couldnât help but want to laugh.
Not even mentioning outsiders, even he himself hadnât expected... that heâd really reach body Foundation Establishment one day.
Even when he went to see Isle Master Tie Chui, Ji Yuan had only thought his physique was a bit strongerâheâd never imagined his body could also reach Foundation Establishment strength.
Well then.
Now itâs great.
Ji Yuan was already fantasizing: in future fights, heâd start off with magic to face his enemies.
If magic could kill them, then heâd use magic.
If magic couldnât get the job done, heâd get up close, and then unleash his physical power in a sudden burstâtaking the enemy down in one go!
After all, something like body Foundation Establishment... who would ever expect that?
Judging from Isle Master Tie Chuiâs situation, Ji Yuan figured the whole Water Dragon Sect might not have even one person with body Foundation Establishment.
Even across the whole Cangluo Continent, it was probably rare to see.
All the betterâsince nobody else has it, but I do.
When your enemy lacks what you have, thatâs your real trump card.
This has to be kept secret. If I really use physical power to fight, I have to make sure thereâs no witnessesâmy body Foundation Establishment secret must never get out.
Otherwise, even a Golden Core Zhenren would probably get curious about this stuff.
Also, the Tier Two Body Technique "Shadow Follows Form" I stumbled upon here on Mist IslandâI couldnât practice it before, but now that Iâve achieved body Foundation Establishment...
I can finally give it a shot and see if I can break through.
Once heâd figured all this out, Ji Yuan felt light as air as he left his Cave Mansion.
Since heâd already had his breakthrough, next up was to try and see whether this big toad could also make a breakthrough.
(Told you I donât drag Chapters out! As soon as the arc hit, breakthrough achievedâdidnât stall even a single one. Body Foundation Establishment, what a day for celebration! Give me a monthly ticket for this, huh? Or at least a recommendation vote.)
