Chapter 5: Changes in the Soul Core
Tie Bo was drunk with martial arts, wandered all his life, and had no heirs under his knees, since he first saw Yuchen, he deeply liked this smart and clever child, and for more than two years, he had already regarded Yuchen as his grandson.
Tie Bo twisted his gray beard and smiled at the cute little guy in front of him.
I don't know what this kid thinks, he suddenly wants to learn to strike iron with me, Tie Bo looked at Yu and said kindly: "Yuchen! Your mother told me that you want to learn to beat iron with me! I agreed, hehe! But I have to tell you! Iron striking is hard work!"
"I know, I have strength!" Xiao Yuchen said confidently.
"Haha...... Okay, good, but, striking iron is not something that can be done with strength!" Tieber laughed.
"That's why I want Grandpa Tie to teach me!" Yu Chen said with a grin.
"Hahaha...... But once you start learning, you are not allowed to cry bitterness!" Tie Bo has long been accustomed to Xiao Yuchen's cleverness.
"Hehe! Grandpa Tie don't worry, I will do what you tell me to do!" Xiao Yuchen patted his chest and promised.
"Hehe! Okay! You're still young, so I won't teach you how to smelt and quench first, but I'll teach you how to wield a hammer first! There are five forging hammers, ten catties, thirty catties, fifty catties, eighty catties, and one hundred catties! Just choose the ten catty one! Strike a hundred times! There must be no pause in between, and you must exert all your strength every time! Remember! You can't use your special fighting spirit!" Tie Bo said, pointing to a row of forging hammers by the wall.
"Hammer!" Yu Chen was happy in his heart, he learned to strike iron, mainly because he wanted to hammer and exercise the strength, toughness and coordination of the body in the process of hammering. Yu Chen walked over to the hammers on the side of the wall, reached out and picked up the smallest one, and tossed it in his hand, feeling very light.
This handle is too light!" Yu Chen said in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up thirty pounds and tried it, smiled with satisfaction, and said in his heart, this is about the same!
"Grandpa Tie, can I use this?" asked Yu Chen, turning his head.
When Tie Bo saw Yu Chen pick up the thirty-pound hammer, he laughed secretly in his heart, stinky boy! It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and a thirty-pound forging hammer may not be able to move when he holds it! Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "Of course you can! However, you still have to hit it a hundred times with all your might, and you can't pause in the middle! You can't use your fighting spirit!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Yuchen agreed excitedly.
However, when Yu Chen really picked up the thirty pounds of hammer and knocked it on the thick anvil again and again, he knew how difficult it was, and it was easy to do it once or twice, but after twenty times, the thirty pounds of hammer seemed to be ten times heavier at once.
"Hold on!" Yu Chen gritted his teeth and cheered himself up.
There was a dull thud, and the fortieth hammer was no longer felt.
Bang!bang......
Bang! Fifty hammers! Yuchen was finally halfway done, and at this time, Yuchen felt that his two arms no longer belonged to him, but were just numbly moving like a machine.
"Hold on! It's only half the story!" "Hold on...... Yuchen's teeth creaked, and he kept cheering himself up in his heart.
Bang! Another dull but powerful thud, eighty times! Yu Chen's eyes were blurred, so sleepy! I really wanted to sleep! Yu Chen felt as if his head had been filled with lead.
Bang! Ninety times, completely confused, Yuchen felt as if he was really asleep, but there was a voice in his heart: ten more times...... Keep it up...... Be sure to knock it down......
Bang! Ninety-ninth hammer, and one more hammer! There is only one hammer left! At this time, Yuchen felt that the thirty pounds of hammer seemed to have grown to the weight of ten million pounds, so heavy! I couldn't hold it...... No, it's almost a hammer! It must be ...... Knock it down!
"Ahh
Looking at Yu Chen's little body that was about to fall, Tie Bo recovered from the shock and hugged Yu Chen in his arms with an arrow step, his eyes full of distress. Although the final hammer fell with little force, Tiebo knew that it was still a full blow. Thirty pounds of hammer, every blow with all his might, a hundred consecutive strikes! Is this something that a child who is only a little more than six years old can do? Tie Bo couldn't believe his eyes. With such a tenacious will, if cultivated well, it is almost certain that he will reach the ninth level of Dou Qi, and it is not impossible to step into that higher level of the Holy Rank.
In fact, Tie Bo said to let Yuchen hit a hundred hammers, but he didn't have the luxury of expecting a child to complete it at all, with a six-year-old child, rotating a thirty-pound hammer, it was already very remarkable to be able to insist on hitting thirty times, but I didn't expect Yuchen to really complete a hundred consecutive full strokes. That is a hundred consecutive blows with all his strength without using fighting spirit! Even if it is an adult strong man, there are absolutely few that can accomplish it! Because it requires not only strength, but also incomparably tenacious will and faith! Especially in the last ten hammers, the feeling of prostration is absolutely unbearable.
Yuchen slept for five hours, and when Yuchen opened his eyes, the sun was already setting in the west.
"Oh no! Mother is still waiting for me to have lunch!" Yu Chen suddenly sat up and shouted.
"Haha...... Yuchen! Don't worry! I'll tell your mother at noon that you're not going back to eat, don't worry! I didn't tell your mother about you fainting from exhaustion!" Tie Bo on the side came over with a bowl of porridge.
"Oh, thank you Tiebo!" Yuchen was relieved when he heard Longbo's words, and he didn't let his mother know that it was the best, in case his mother didn't let him learn to strike iron, it would be miserable. It seems that my physical fitness is still not good enough! I am tired and faint after only a hundred hammers!
"Come, drink some porridge first!" Tie Bo said, handing the steaming porridge to Yuchen. Yuchen is not polite, he is only in his twenties in his two lives, in the face of this nearly 100-year-old man, Yuchen is respectful and close in his heart, just like his grandfather in his previous life, Yuchen has not come to Tiebo to eat here for more than two years.
Yuchen took the bowl, drank the porridge in one go, wiped his mouth, and said with an embarrassed face: "Grandpa Tie......! I knocked a hundred hammers, and I was dizzy......! Bad, huh?"
When Tie Bo heard Yu Chen's words, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, a six-year-old child, continuously rotating a thirty-pound iron hammer, and striking it a hundred times with all his strength without stopping, very bad! Is there still a stronger person in this world? But ...... The child is still young, and he can't boast about it! It wouldn't be good if he made this kid proud! Thinking of this, Tie Bo said: "Judging from your performance, your physical fitness and willpower are not bad! Among cultivators, you should barely be able to occupy the top class!" Tie Bo said very fakely, but Tie Bo listened to his own words, and he wanted to pump himself, Yuchen was considered to be the middle class! Then those people in this world who were considered to be the best in this world wiped their necks and committed suicide!
"Middle-class!hehe! That's good!" Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he felt that his physical fitness was good, but compared with the people in his previous life, if compared with those people in this world who cultivated magic and fighting qi, what grade did he occupy? This is what Yu Chen has always wanted to know, and now that he has received Tie Bo's affirmative answer, Yu Chen's heart can be regarded as putting down a stone.
"Come down and move around, and see if there is anything uncomfortable in your body!" Tie Bo stood up and said, Yuchen put on his shoes and moved his body, feeling that there was no discomfort, but a feeling of vitality.
"Hehe!
Tie Bo nodded thoughtfully, and said, "After such a strenuous exercise, it is estimated that you have been asleep for at least a long time, but I didn't expect you to wake up in five hours, and you are still so energetic! What a genius in cultivation! Hehe! When you just fainted, I was afraid that it would affect your physical development, so I checked you and found that there was a pale golden air flow in your body, which kept nourishing every tendon and vein in your body, what was going on?"
Yu Chen thought for a while, remembered the purple-gold fruit that his master had once given him, and said, "My master said that children who do too strenuous exercise will have a great impact on their physical development, so they gave me a purple-gold fruit!" Yu Chen said, describing the size and shape of the fruit.
"Purple-gold fruit?" Tie Bo carefully recalled all the fruits he had seen and heard of, and thought for a moment, but they were consistent. Tie Bo couldn't help but sigh and said, "I still haven't seen enough!"
"Okay! It's not early, I'm awake, I won't keep you kid, you go home quickly! Don't let your mother worry! From tomorrow, you can give me a hand and give me a hammer!" Tie Bo said with a smile.
"Can I give you a hand?" Yu Chen said in surprise, as a person who fainted with a hammer, he could actually give Tie Bo a hand!
"Hehe! That's right! You just use that thirty-pound hammer! Your posture of picking the hammer today is very similar to that! However, there are still some flaws, and I will guide you again tomorrow!" Tie Bo said with a smile, in fact, Tie Bo was very curious, a child who was playing a hammer for the first time could still pick up the appearance, it was really an abnormal talent! Could it be that he was born for striking iron?
Yuchen nodded excitedly, and after returning home, he accompanied his mother to dinner, and Yuchen immediately returned to his room, cross-legged and carried the energy in his body, in fact, after Yuchen woke up from fainting, he felt that there was always something strange in his body, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
The internal force ran for a big week, and Yuchen's attention once again stayed on the two "relics" next to the dantian, to be precise, the relics with green fluorescence.
Yuchen clearly felt that the "relic" that emitted green fluorescence was trembling slightly, Yuchen was curious, and guided a trace of internal force to slowly entangle towards the "relic".
"What's going on?" Yu Chen was shocked, as soon as his internal force touched the green ball of light, it disappeared like mud into the sea.
"It's gone!Is the internal force absorbed?" Yu Chen said in surprise.
Yuchen once again channeled an internal force and slowly swam towards the green light bead. All the spiritual power is concentrated on this energy, this internal force is much greater than just now, when the internal force passes through the last acupoint, when it touches the fluorescent bead, Yu Chen clearly feels a slight vibration of the green light ball, and the internal force disappears again!
It can really absorb internal force! Yu Chen was shocked in his heart. What the hell are these two beads? Yuchen finally concluded that what he had in his body was not a relic.
I'll try another one! Immediately, an internal force converged, swimming quickly towards the bead that emitted a purple halo, and in the blink of an eye, the internal force had completely surrounded the purple light bead, but the internal force showed no signs of weakening. At this time, Yuchen had already determined that only the green beads had changed.
Although the internal force mobilized just now is not much, but it is also a lot, and after absorbing those internal forces, my body does not feel any discomfort, what is going on?
