Volume XXXV
"I haven't been managing you for a while recently, but your cultivation hasn't stopped, and you're even working harder than before, that's good!" Elder Chang Feng will also have his own affairs, it is impossible to guard them all the time, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he has been in retreat for a while, and he has not come out until now, so he doesn't know the reason why they started to practice hard, of course, he doesn't need to know, and others won't say it, who can open up such a shameful thing!
"I've been in retreat for more than a month, so I guess you should have gained something from your penance, so let's talk about it. Chang Feng is also pleased with them.
"Let's start with me. "The old rule is that Liang Dayi was the first to speak.
"I can now hold two buckets of water on the plum blossom pile, and I can perform my footwork freely, and because I always made mistakes before, running up and down the mountain has almost become a common thing I must do every day, but I also know that this is the elder in order to exercise my speed, and it has indeed achieved results, I used to spend an hour and a half going back and forth, but now it only takes an hour!" Liang Dayi's strength is already a fifth-order martial artist, which is relatively high, and it is very difficult to make great progress in just over a month, but obvious progress can still be made.
"The reason why this progress is obvious, your efforts are worthy of recognition, but it also indirectly shows how poor your agility and speed were before! So don't be complacent about making this progress, you still have a long way to go to make up for this shortcoming!"
"Got it, Elder!" Hearing the Elder's words, everyone more or less restrained a trace of pride in their hearts, and it seemed that this progress was still insignificant in the eyes of the Elder.
"I haven't gained much, and now I can barely support the practice for seven hours and I can't hold on!" Zhang Huaide said with some shame, compared to Liang Dayi, his progress is indeed not obvious.
"The strengthening or progress of strength is not necessarily obvious to be felt, sometimes he is silent, you used to barely be able to support six hours, but now there is an extra hour, it looks really inconspicuous, but you have not found that the support of coolies when you are exhausted is not only a tempering of a person's willpower, but also a stimulation of a person's potential! Elder Chang Feng has a unique vision, and he does not stop at the surface when looking at problems.
"Yes, Elder!" After listening to the elder's encouragement, Zhang Huaide swept away the previous haze and became refreshed again!
"Now it's my turn! My biggest takeaway was that I didn't dare to feel like I was being torn apart by five horses, but like I was galloping on a horse. Although Du Teng has become a lot more diligent, his character has not changed.
"After practicing so hard, you should also realize that the monkey boxing you practiced before was at best a small monkey, weak and weak; now you are like an adult monkey, strong and agile; but your problem is not only that, your monkey boxing still only sees its shape, but not its spirit! If you want to really gain something, you have to be able to enter the artistic concept!" "For a person with Du Teng's temperament, he can't boast, and he will go to heaven if he praises him!
"Oh, I see. The artistic conception is the pain in Du Teng's heart.
"Our cultivation under the waterfall has also achieved good results, at the beginning in the water is really very resistant, the movement is extremely inconvenient, coupled with the strong downward force of the waterfall flow, we can't even stand steady, but we have slowly adapted to it, now under the waterfall is also able to practice freely, agility has also improved a lot, I used to catch not many fish in a day, now I can catch a full bucket casually; Moreover, Yu Wu also took the opportunity to break through the third order of martial arts!" "Their biggest gain this month is that Yu Wu broke through the third order of martial artists.
"Yu Wu has broken through? Well, it's a good phenomenon! But with Yu Wen's fourth-order martial arts strength, your free cultivation in the waterfall, and your agility in catching fish were originally meant to be easy to do, but it took you more than three months to barely do it, which shows how bad your agility was before! You will have to practice hard in the future!" Elder Chang Feng didn't mean to praise them in the slightest.
"Yes, Elder!" Yu Wen and Yuwu replied in unison, quietly stepping aside, so it seemed that they had not done enough to satisfy the elders.
"I haven't made any progress, but I've barely broken through to the second order of martial arts. "Seeing that the senior brother in front of him had made such great progress and had not been recognized, Fang Han had only broken through the second order of martial arts, and there was nothing to say.
"Being able to break through is naturally a good thing, and it is also worth affirming, but although your confidence has improved, it is still far from enough! Now you may feel that it will not have much impact on your cultivation, but if you want to achieve something in the future, then it will become a hurdle that you cannot overcome!" Elder Chang Feng said solemnly, he had seen too many similar examples over the years.
"Elder, I'll try. Fang Han said in a low voice, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at his response, if it continued like this, it would be really worrying if they wanted to achieve something in the future.
"Mingxuan, what about you?" the elder asked with interest, among the seven people, only Mingxuan's foundation was slightly better, and if he could enter the artistic conception so early, he might be able to make a big gain.
"I'm just like the sixth senior brother, but I have broken through the second order of martial arts. Seeing that none of the others had been approved by the elders, Ming Xuan was also a little concerned.
"You broke through?" exclaimed not the elders, but the others.
"yes. Ming Xuan replied casually.
"Why don't we know!" everyone was overjoyed.
"That is, the other day," Ming Xuan said truthfully.
"But why didn't you say it?" Everyone would bring up and discuss any problems with cultivation when they ate every day, but Ming Xuan didn't say anything about it.
"You didn't ask either!" Ming Xuan never thought that this was a matter worth discussing.
The others were speechless: this kid is still playing low-key here! If it weren't for the presence of the elders, they would have all "punished" him!
Ming Xuan only turned fifteen years old after the New Year, which means that he is only fourteen years old now, but he has already broken through the third order of martial arts! How can they not let everyone feel amazed, although they have already seen Ming Xuan's potential, and they also know that he has reached the peak of the second order of martial arts, but they still didn't expect him to break through so quickly, they thought that they would be able to finish the New Year, but they didn't expect that he would break through just after the winter! Sure enough, freaks can't be inferred according to common sense!
"Uh-huh!" the elder coughed deliberately, and everyone immediately stood up again.
"Well, it's good to be able to break through nature!, but what have you gained from your artistic conception?" Elder Chang Feng naturally didn't have too many words of praise.
"I haven't felt too much yet, but it's a little bit of a gain. Mingxuan had some subtle feelings, but he couldn't say anything specifically.
"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, but winter has arrived, and the snow day is coming soon, when the time comes, you can feel the real snow, maybe it will inspire you, now it's better to do your best to adapt to the strength improvement after the breakthrough." Ming Xuan's expression was undoubtedly the most satisfying to the elder, but he didn't say much.
However, this does not mean that the other brothers will not be "happy" for him.
"Stinky boy! I didn't even squeak if I broke through!" After Elder Chang Feng left, everyone began to "punish" Ming Xuan's silence!
"I admit my mistake! I can't admit my mistake?" Ming Xuan made a gesture to block their fists and feet, smiling and begging for mercy, after getting along with everyone for so long, Ming Xuan has fully integrated into this big family, and has also experienced unprecedented warmth, as well as the feeling of home that has not been seen for a long time. This also made Mingxuan, who was indifferent by nature, begin to feel the warmth from the heart.
"Well, knowing your mistakes can improve your life! Naturally, you are so honest, we can't help but give you a chance!" Du Teng said with a wicked smile, when it comes to ghost ideas, no one is his opponent.
"Then what do you want?" Ming Xuan suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
"It's nothing, it's just that winter is coming, and washing dishes has become a big problem, and it seems that I'll leave it to you this month!"
"I've handed over my clothes for this month to you!" The others also reacted immediately, but they wouldn't let Du Teng specialize in beauty.
"You'll cook this month!"
"You're in charge of marinating salted fish this month!"
......
In the next month, although Ming Xuan inexplicably had a lot of trivial matters, this did not prevent him from stabilizing the state of the third order of martial arts, and also let his body and martial arts gradually adjust.
"This breakthrough has increased my speed and agility by fifty percent, and my strength has increased by sixty percent! Sure enough, with the improvement of strength, the power of martial arts is also significantly improving! However, according to the elder, when a martial artist reaches the fifth order, every time the strength increases, it will not be so obvious, so I have to seize this time to work hard to cultivate, and strive to improve greatly every time! In this way, I can lay a solid foundation!" Ming Xuan secretly made up his mind.
"If you want to improve quickly, you must strengthen the perception of the realm while continuing to practice hard, but unfortunately although my Drifting Snow Sword Technique has a good attainment, it is still a little bit of an opportunity. Thinking of this, Ming Xuan was also a little depressed.
Just as Ming Xuan was thinking, he suddenly felt a strange coldness on his face and exposed arms.
"Well, it's snowing. Ming Xuan looked up at the sky, it was the depths of winter, it was natural for it to snow, and the first snow of this winter seemed to be about to start.
At the beginning of the snowfall, the snow flakes are not big, nor too dense, such as catkins fluttering lightly with the wind, but as the wind blows more and more fiercely, the snow is getting denser and denser, and the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, like weaving a white net, and you can't see anything from afar. It is like a continuous curtain, falling straight to the ground, and at the same time returning to the light
Mingxuan, who was quietly looking at the snow, seemed to have sensed something, and gradually danced the sword in his hand with the snow.
