Chapter 13 Soul Skill Cultivation
Yu Tianyun entered the gravity training room and poured his soul power into the walls until the gravity multiplier was adjusted to 3.5 times before stopping the output of soul power. He then bent down and assumed a push-up position, but instead of using his palms for support, he used his four fingers.
He straightened his back and began to press his body down until he was only a fist's distance from the ground. Then, he used the muscles in his arms to push himself up until his arms were straight. His fingers trembled slightly as he performed a standard push-up. He then continued to repeat the previous movements.
Stop after every 100 repetitions to stretch your muscles and rest briefly before continuing.
Yu Tianyun plans to train gradually, and then increase the difficulty once he no longer feels the pressure.
An hour later, Yu Tianyun lay sprawled on the floor, raising his hands to look at his uncontrollably trembling fingers.
"If even a simple finger push-up is this difficult, it seems there's still a long way to go before reaching the level of one-finger Zen!"
After resting for a quarter of an hour, a dragon's roar rang out, and Yu Tianyun summoned his martial soul—Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which immediately relieved much of the pressure on his body.
"Finger training cannot be accomplished overnight. One hour of training each day is sufficient. Now, let's begin to comprehend the first soul skill."
After activating the first soul skill surrounding his body, the pressure on his body lessened again, as if he were outside the gravity room when he wasn't using his martial soul.
With the blessing of the Thunder Dragon Body, Yu Tianyun resumed his daily training routine. But he stopped after a short while.
"The first soul skill seems to consume too little soul power. If this continues, it will be a waste of time." Yu Tianyun was pleasantly surprised by his discovery, but then frowned.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianyun turned his gaze to the wall that was emitting a faint earthy yellow halo. He continued to pour his soul power into it, pushing it to its maximum limit—5 times the gravity.
At this moment, Yu Tianyun finally felt the pressure and continued to cultivate, while experiencing the mysteries of his first soul skill and feeling the small lightning snakes constantly moving around his body.
Numerous tiny lightning snakes roamed aimlessly across my body, disappearing after a while, only to be replaced by new ones.
Yu Tianyun tried to control one of the lightning snakes, but the little lightning snakes seemed unable to sense his will and continued to swim aimlessly. Yu Tianyun didn't mind and continued to try to control the other lightning snakes with his mind.
Time flowed slowly, like a silent river, quietly passing by. Yu Tianyun, like a statue, remained quietly immersed in his cultivation of sensing lightning.
Although he has not yet successfully controlled even one lightning strike, he has always maintained his persistence and determination.
He tried to understand the nature of lightning, to explore the mysteries it contained, and longed to master this powerful force of nature.
He knew that the path of spiritual practice was full of hardships and challenges, and that only through constant trying and perseverance could one break through one's limits. Therefore, he adjusted his state of mind time and time again, re-examined his methods and techniques, and did not overlook any detail.
Each failure made him more convinced that he was one step closer to success.
Without knowing when, Yu Tianyun suddenly felt the pressure on his body increase several times over! In that instant, it was as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he lay helplessly on the cold, hard ground.
Only then did Yu Tianyun awaken from his daze and realize that his soul power had been completely exhausted.
An indescribable, overwhelming sense of exhaustion surged over him like a tidal wave, making his breathing unusually heavy and his heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst out of his chest at any moment.
At the same time, a sweet and pungent smell of blood filled his mouth.
It turned out that Yu Tianyun was so focused on his cultivation that he forgot he was in an environment with five times the normal gravity.
The depletion of his soul power, coupled with the significant loss of physical strength caused by the previous intense training, left him lying on the ground, completely exhausted and unable to even get up.
He struggled to lift his head, his gaze landing on the switch on the wall not far away, but in his current condition, he couldn't reach it at all.
Left with no other choice, Yu Tianyun could only exert all his strength and slowly crawl toward the door, bit by bit.
His arms, legs, and even his chin were all put to use; he moved like a snail, struggling to incline toward the door that symbolized hope...
"Hoo..." Yu Tianyun took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air enter his lungs, as if every cell in his body was cheering.
After a long and arduous ten minutes, he finally crawled out of the gravity chamber with difficulty, greedily taking deep breaths of fresh air.
At this moment, the skin on his chin was worn and tattered, but he didn't care. He simply turned over, lay quietly on the ground, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
At some point, the maid Xiaoyue happened to pass by.
She immediately saw Yu Tianyun lying motionless on the ground, looking disheveled, and panicked.
She rushed over, calling out anxiously:
"Young master, what's wrong? Wake up! Don't scare me!"
Tears welled up in Xiaoyue's eyes, and her voice trembled with obvious fear.
"Young Master, you absolutely cannot die! If you leave, Xiaoyue doesn't want to live anymore..."
Xiaoyue became more and more upset as she spoke, and tears rolled down her cheeks like broken beads, dripping onto Yu Tianyun's sweat-stained face.
Yu Tianyun felt the moisture on his face, struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and comforted her in a weak voice:
"Cough cough... Xiaoyue, don't cry, I... I'm fine, I'm just too tired from cultivation and don't have the strength to get up, so I'm just lying here to rest."
Upon suddenly hearing Yu Tianyun's weak voice, Xiaoyue wiped away her tears and revealed a joyful smile.
She gently helped Yu Tianyun up and asked with concern, "Young Master, should I go find a healing soul master to take a look at you? Or perhaps bring you some water and food to replenish your strength?"
Yu Tianyun shook his head, indicating that he didn't need these things, but his stomach, which was being difficult to handle, started to protest loudly.
Yu Tianyun was helped back to his courtyard by Xiaoyue.
Soon after, Xiaoyue prepared a sumptuous meal, the aroma of which was irresistible and mouthwatering. He sat down and began to savor the delicious food. Meanwhile, Xiaoyue prepared a medicinal bath in the adjacent bathroom.
After Yu Tianyun had finished eating all the delicious food on the table, Xiaoyue came over and said softly:
"Young master, the medicinal bath is ready. You can take a soak and relax your body."
Yu Tianyun nodded, got up, and went into the bathroom. The water in the tub was steaming hot, emitting a faint herbal scent. He lay comfortably in the tub, feeling the comfort brought by the water temperature, and his mood gradually calmed down.
He closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.
"I was really too careless this time. Five times the gravity, without the protection of my soul power, while I wouldn't die inside, staying inside for a long time would cause irreversible damage to my internal organs." Yu Tianyun thought to himself as he calmed down.
Under the massage of Xiaoyue's soft and smooth fingers, Yu Tianyun soon felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
In her sleep, Yu Tianyun felt as if she were holding a soft cloud.
A strand of hair drifted down and landed on Yu Tianyun's nose.
"Achoo!" After sneezing, Yu Tianyun slowly opened his eyes. The scene that came into view immediately made Yu Tianyun fully alert. He saw a white and tender snake spirit wrapped around his body.
Yu Tianyun immediately began to subdue the demons.
"Hey! You audacious fiend, how dare you be so insolent?"
With a loud shout, the human and the demon began to fight.
Before long, Yu Tianyun was at a disadvantage.
He couldn't help but sigh,
"This demon is quite formidable. I will rest for a while before I subdue you."
After resting for a quarter of an hour, feeling that he was back to normal, Yu Tianyun began to subdue demons and monsters again!
"Demon, I need your help in my cultivation!" came Yu Tianyun's confident challenge from the water.
And so, after another few dozen rounds of fierce fighting, Yu Tianyun was once again exhausted, but the demon was no longer as arrogant as it had been the first time.
The two then took a short break, as if by unspoken agreement.
Battles broke out on the water from time to time. Each time, the two sides fought for only a few dozen rounds before taking a break. During this time, Yu Tianyun went from being slightly at a disadvantage at the beginning to being evenly matched, and then to having an absolute advantage later on.
Finally, the final battle took place.
"You fiend, quickly reveal your true form!" Yu Tianyun roared, victory seemingly within reach.
The battle between the human and the demon caused the sky to collapse and the sun and moon to lose their light in this area.
"Ah, please, young master, spare my life!" Finally, the snake spirit's mournful and pitiful cry of pleas for mercy rang out at the last moment.
