Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Muscles and Bones Resonate, Dark Force Emerges

White Dragon Loach!

Zhang Yuan instantly realized.

Without any hesitation, he suddenly pushed back with his feet, and his entire body shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Pursuing the white shadow that triggered a resonance with the fourth host!

However, the speed of the White Dragon Loach was very fast.

Even if Zhang Yuan exerted all his power, he could barely keep from losing track.

Catching up with this White Dragon Loach was clearly a tall order.

It dived into deeper waters.

Zhang Yuan did not give up.

He pursued relentlessly.

To this day, countless fishermen are still mad about the White Dragon Loach, casting nets and traps in the Celestial Horse River day and night.

It’s said that a large clan from Linhe County Town has offered an exorbitant price of five thousand silver taels.

Wanting to buy a White Dragon Loach!

But so far, no one has claimed this high bounty.

Now that five thousand silver taels are within reach, how could Zhang Yuan possibly watch such staggering wealth slip away!

Yet as the chase continued, Zhang Yuan’s vision gradually blurred.

And the Divine Nest Badge on the back of his left hand still emitted a faint glow.

Zhang Yuan felt himself turning into a little loach.

Hiding in the mud and sand, cautiously scavenging for food, striving to avoid dangerous enemies.

Who knows how many times it nearly ended up as a meal for fish.

Often bullied by domineering crabs.

But it survived tenaciously and gradually awakened the abilities brought by its bloodline!

Days passed, and it gradually grew.

Its body became elongated and sturdy, its surface shedding the black-gray camouflage color, turning snow white like jade.

Not only that, it grew claws, horns, scale armor, and fin spikes.

It no longer feared any enemy and claimed a large swath of river for its territory.

Until another of its kind trespassed into its domain.

Then a fierce battle began.

The fight lasted a very long time, with both sides evenly matched, resulting in mutual wounds.

As neither could defeat the other, they finally compromised.

They each occupied half of the river bay, occasionally communicating.

Life was carefree and pleasant.

One day, it smelled an irresistible scent.

So it burrowed its way into the trap-like cage.

Unable to escape.

It was lifted out of the water inside the cage.

Then a big hand reached in.

Grabbing it firmly!

Suddenly awoken, Zhang Yuan realized he had dived into a dense clump of aquatic plants.

The White Dragon Loach he was pursuing had vanished without a trace.

Zhang Yuan exhaled a string of bubbles.

His mood was surprisingly calm, completely devoid of the desire and longing for the hunt.

He took a deep look at the dark waters ahead, then turned around and swiftly swam towards the surface.

Soon he emerged from the water.

The sunlight of the rising sun shone on his face, reflecting a sparkling glow.

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and continued swimming towards the riverbank.

Back on the shore, after dressing himself, he glanced back at the calm river bay.

New fishing boats had entered the water.

In the following days, Zhang Yuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

He could feel every day that a breakthrough was getting closer, as the Tier One Light Force and Tier Two Dark Force seemed separated by only a thin paper, ready to be pierced with a finger!

But Zhang Yuan still hadn’t grasped the chance for breakthrough.

He wasn’t anxious nor did he intensify his training, patiently persisting in his final accumulation.

As they say, haste leads to nothing; the more one rushes for success, the more likely problems arise.

There is no barrier between Light Force and Dark Force; many martial artists manage to break through with Water Grinding Technique.

Zhang Yuan believes with his Root Bone and Talent, the breakthrough is merely a matter of course.

That night, Zhang Yuan routinely made himself a pot of medicinal bath.

Soaking in the steaming medicinal water, its energy continuously permeating his skin, making the Qi Blood inside active, he leaned against the edge of the bath barrel, indulgingly exhaling a long breath.

This herbal bath aiding the cultivation of the Rock Foundation Skill had the same recipe.

But the age of the herbs used was greatly increased.

Because earlier low-age herbs had little effect on him.

Even two or three-year-old herbs exchanged for ten-year and above ones.

The price multiplied!

If Zhang Yuan hadn’t struck a windfall, he couldn’t possibly afford such a massive expense.

His current cultivation power could be said to be half built on a pile of silver taels!

Once the bathwater cooled, Zhang Yuan got out, wiped his body, changed into clothes, and went next door to the training room.

After moving from the town to Wu Manor.

Because the living conditions improved greatly, he no longer needed to practice cultivation techniques in the courtyard.

Concentrating and calming the mind, ridding all distractions and worries from his brain.

Zhang Yuan began practicing the Rock Foundation Skill.

The skill is divided into Nine Forms, corresponding to the three realms of Light Force, Dark Force, and Transformation Realm.

Zhang Yuan had already perfected the first three forms.

Though the daily repeated practice was incredibly tedious.

Such rigorous refinement greatly enhanced his physique.

Every inch of Zhang Yuan’s muscle seemed cast from bronze and iron, with every lift and twist, increasingly tough skin seeped crystalline sweat, like a layer of gloss applied to him.

His entire body’s power was constantly summoned and repeatedly tempered flesh.

Unaware, the Qi Blood inside seemed to boil like soup.

As if trying to ignite!

Zhang Yuan’s body temperature rapidly rose, causing the sweat on the skin to evaporate greatly, forming a misty steamy vapor above his head.

This was something he hadn’t experienced before while practicing the Rock Foundation Skill.

But Zhang Yuan remained unfazed.

A spiritual mechanism flashed in his mind, suddenly he sensed the breakthrough opportunity.

At that very moment!

Bang!

It was as if a whip crack resounded beside Zhang Yuan’s ear, his spirit was suddenly shocked.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan’s whole body’s muscles and bones resonated.

An invisible barrier instantly shattered!

His inflated muscles contracted as a result, appearing more formidable than normal, large tendons emerged under the skin, and the resonation of joints continued endlessly.

It lasted a full ten breaths!

Zhang Yuan exhaled deeply.

The breath turned into a white air arrow, shooting straight forward a dozen steps away, dissipating only upon hitting the wall.

Zhang Yuan relaxed completely.

Sweat poured down like rain, yet he felt unprecedented relaxation and satisfaction.

The agitated Qi Blood inside him had calmed, his mind and body in a wondrous state.

The breakthrough came unexpectedly yet naturally!
