I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 142: Training

Feiyan Lake.

The Feiyan Lake in early winter appears more desolate than usual.

Vast stretches of reeds have withered to a yellow hue, leaving countless stalks standing in the water, depriving waterfowl of a place to perch, forcing them to fly further south to warmer lands.

Not many fishermen dare to approach this expansive body of water, and at this time of year, it is even more desolate.

Yet, at the edge of Feiyan Lake, a black-roofed fishing boat quietly floats.

Wearing a straw raincoat, Zhang Yuan sits at the bow, holding a fishing rod.

But his attention is not on the fishing float at all.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan, or more precisely, his divine soul consciousness, is soaring in the sky, overlooking the Feiyan Lake below.

Flight is undoubtedly an eternal dream for humans.

Although Zhang Yuan, with only Tier Two cultivation, is still very far from reaching the level of flying across the sky.

However, by relying on his fifth host, the Red-eyed Crow, he has achieved this dream of flight in an indirect way.

After successfully summoning the Red-eyed Crow, Zhang Yuan gained a basic understanding of the "Basic Servant Spirit" and gradually uncovered some of its abilities.

A Servant Spirit, to put it bluntly, is actually Zhang Yuan’s Summoned Spirit.

There is a stable divine soul link between Zhang Yuan and the Red-eyed Crow.

This allows him to easily control the Red-eyed Crow, issuing direct commands to it through his consciousness.

Not only that, Zhang Yuan can also make the Red-eyed Crow his eyes and ears.

Capable of flying into the sky or perching on treetops as eyes and ears!

The Red-eyed Crow has exceptionally sharp vision, able to see small creatures like mice and rabbits on the ground from high altitudes.

Its ears, although small and hidden among its feathers, can still detect slight sounds from the surroundings.

For Zhang Yuan, the Red-eyed Crow is the best scout!

The only problem is that Zhang Yuan currently has a distance limitation for directly controlling the Red-eyed Crow.

Once they are more than a mile apart,

The divine soul link gets immediately severed, and the Red-eyed Crow will autonomously fly back.

But this issue isn’t significant; Zhang Yuan believes that once it upgrades, this distance will inevitably greatly increase.

And the abilities of the "Basic Servant Spirit" are evidently not limited to this; he needs to continue exploring!

At this moment, the fishing float on the water’s surface suddenly moved.

Zhang Yuan’s gaze sharpened, and his mind instantly returned, instinctively lifting the fishing rod in hand.

A lively and large carp was forcibly lifted out of the water by him!

Simultaneously, the Red-eyed Crow in the high sky swooped down suddenly, plunging a hundred feet in an instant, and then steadily landed on Zhang Yuan’s shoulder.

The movement was extremely light and graceful!

"Caw!"

It softly called out, rubbing its head against Zhang Yuan’s face.

Its pair of gemstone-like beautiful eyes were fixed on the large carp bouncing on the deck!

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly.

He unhooked the fish, then tapped the carp, leaving it stunned: "It’s yours."

The Red-eyed Crow is the most unique among Zhang Yuan’s hosts; it usually likes to come out and move around and has inherited the crow’s peculiar love for fresh blood food.

As for things like dried meat, the Red-eyed Crow detests them and looks down on them even when placed before it!

With Zhang Yuan’s permission, it happily "cawed" twice, then spread its wings, pouncing on the carp.

With a peck, it swiftly hooked out and swallowed the fish’s eye.

Zhang Yuan no longer watched it eat.

The Red-eyed Crow has a huge appetite, able to eat prey more than ten times its own size without any issue.

It excels at flying, with a speed comparable to hawks and falcons.

But after prolonged flight, it must consume fresh blood and flesh to recover its physical strength; otherwise, it will return to its nest to hibernate, and without more Source Material, it will take a long time to wake up again.

When Zhang Yuan caught another river fish, the Red-eyed Crow had already eaten the seven or eight-jin carp clean.

It still wanted more.

Zhang Yuan simply threw the second fish to it as well.

He glanced at the sky and then packed up the fishing rod to return to Whale Castle.

Controlling the rudder with one hand, the wooden oar swung left and right in the water, propelling the black-roofed boat upstream.

Before long, he reached the river bay in front of Whale Castle.

Docking the fishing boat, Zhang Yuan retrieved the Red-eyed Crow back into the Divine Nest and then entered Whale Castle.

"Master Zhang!"

The members of the Furious Whale Gang he passed greeted him one after another.

Now, Zhang Yuan is considered a prominent figure in the Linhai Sub-Branch.

Among the under-twenty up-and-coming talents, no one can match his strength or combat achievements.

Everyone also knows that Hall Master Yue Wuji places great trust in Zhang Yuan.

Treating him as a key war general to cultivate!

War generals are the elite among the elite in the Battle Hall, the sharpest weapon of any gang.

Almost every former Hall Master of the Battle Hall has been a war general in the Hall.

Yue Wuji is no exception!

Zhang Yuan, as an outsider from a humble background, has gained this status and treatment in just over a year since joining the Linhai Sub-Branch. It’s impossible for there to be no one jealous of him.

Yet his combat achievements are enough to shut up those envious eyes!

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the training room of the Battle Hall, there were already two towering, burly warriors waiting for him.

Zhang Yuan nodded to the two, then removed his outer garments.

Revealing a body that seemed cast from bronze and forged from iron!

Zhang Yuan has cultivated his "Rock Foundation Skill" and "Iron Cloth Shirt" to a fairly high realm, with his vigorous Qi seeping into his muscles and bones, gradually penetrating into his blood marrow.

Breaking through to Tier Three Transformation Realm is just around the corner.

Although this cultivation progress is already very fast, Zhang Yuan is still not satisfied.

He wants to be faster and stronger!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A moment later, the sound of dull strikes echoed in the training room.

The two warriors wielded fired copper rods, swinging them at Zhang Yuan’s body and limbs over and over.

The weapons they used were as thick as a wrist, each blow packed with tremendous force.

An ordinary martial artist struck by a rod would suffer broken bones and tendons!

However, Zhang Yuan stood firm, using only his skin and flesh to withstand the heavy blows of the two fired copper rods.

This is precisely one of the methods for cultivating the "Iron Cloth Shirt."

After enduring dozens of blows, Zhang Yuan’s Qi Blood was fully aroused.

His skin turned a dark red, the muscles and tendons beneath his skin tensed like iron, changing the sound of the rods striking.

Yet Zhang Yuan remained steady as a mountain.

It wasn’t until the two warriors were sweating profusely, their arms weary and weak, that he raised a hand to signal: "That’s enough."

The two warriors immediately let out a sigh of relief, panting heavily as they set down their copper rods.

Their eyes, filled with awe, gazed at Zhang Yuan.

"Iron Cloth Shirt" isn’t some mystical skill; this horizontal cultivation technique can be found in the Armory, available for exchange through battle achievements.

Plenty of martial artists in the Linhai Sub-Branch practice the "Iron Cloth Shirt."

But there aren’t many like Zhang Yuan who train in a manner almost akin to self-harm!

Not everyone can endure the pain of a copper rod striking their body.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Yuan nodded to both, then put on his clothes and left the training room.

Returning to his own home.
