Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 52: After modification: Zhangg 33 Eye of 1000 Li
Chapter 52: After modification: Zhangg 33 Eye of 1000 Li
"The Fire Control Technique is stronger, but martial arts practice cannot be neglected."
Chen Jichuan stood up.
He picked up the sandbags and sand clothes from the side, tying and dressing Chen Shaohu in them.
Starting with a mere four pounds of weight.
After more than a month, it had increased to sixteen pounds. Every day, he could run forty to fifty miles over mountain trails.
In recent days.
Chen Jichuan had imitated the "Blood Burning Skill" from Sheng Dayang and his son, helping Chen Shaohu massage his Qi-blood, making daily progress even more noticeable.
"I understand the reasoning."
Chen Shaohu grinned as he bound the sandbags and donned the sand clothes, muttering, "The Fire Control Technique is hard to improve, but for martial arts, as long as you work hard, you’ll get stronger. I still have to take revenge on the Wusheng Sect and the Lishui Gang — I won’t slack off."
Chen Jichuan couldn’t help but smile.
His younger brother was reassuring.
This relieved him significantly.
If Chen Shaohu didn’t want to train, no matter how many methods he used or how strict he was, it probably wouldn’t work. In that case, not only would their brotherly bond strain but, after all, this was his own brother — he wouldn’t have the heart to be truly severe.
This was the very reason why so many people in the Great Yann World gave their relatives over to friends or other sects for training.
There was no other reason.
It was simply that one finds it hard to be ruthless to one’s own flesh and blood.
Many who taught their family by themselves, even those masters or grandmasters, often ended up raising good-for-nothings.
Resulting in "tiger fathers and dog sons."
...
The sun rose slowly. freewёbnoνel.com
Time passed by gradually.
Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohu woke up before dawn, training their inner strength under the Spiritual Jujube Tree. Once their inner strength reached a sufficient level, they trained various external arts, tempering their bodies and honing their physical prowess.
Chen Shaohu had just stepped onto the path of cultivation.
For external skills, Chen Jichuan chose four techniques for him: "Land Flying Skill," "Iron Bull Skill," "Lying Tiger Skill," and "Wave Wrapping Skill."
Land Flying Skill didn’t need much explanation; it was a skill for running away — you couldn’t afford to miss it.
Iron Bull Skill strengthened the abdomen and enhanced physical strength.
Lying Tiger Skill not only trained the toes but also boosted vitality. When mastered to a high degree, one could even comprehend dark strength. Starting its practice early brought nothing but benefits.
As for the last, Wave Wrapping Skill.
This skill, also known as "Swimming Skill," was a technique that, in dire straits, allowed one to dive into rivers and possibly escape with their life. It was especially effective in water-abundant, river-crossed regions like Shi’an County.
With each skill practice.
Chen Jichuan would apply medicine and give massages to Chen Shaohu. The former healed external injuries, while the latter facilitated Qi-blood circulation.
Inner and outer cultivation proceeded side by side.
His progress was even faster than when Chen Jichuan had first entered Great Yann and started learning Iron Bull Skill and Jade Belt Skill.
Within just over a month.
These four skills were already well on their way to reaching the Second Layer.
However, the Bright Scripture "Divine Pouncing Saber."
This internal cultivation method, suitable even for children as young as eight or nine, progressed slowly— its benefits from the Blood Burning Skill were minimal, and its improvement couldn’t compete with the rapid progress of external skills.
But since Chen Shaohu had been consuming one Spiritual Date daily.
Circulating inner energy.
Refining the spiritual energy within, his inner strength advanced steadily. Within just two months, it might even surpass the Second Layer of Iron Bull Skill and other external techniques.
Chen Shaohu’s strength continued to grow.
Aside from the Fire Control Technique, he was gradually gaining the ability to protect himself.
Chen Jichuan wasn’t idle either.
With the Great Yann World’s four-hundred-fold time difference, he didn’t need to painstakingly study the intricacies of various skills and internal cultivation methods; his progress in training was like a smooth sail.
With Source Power to assist.
He had been relentlessly accelerating his pace to catch up with his progress in Great Yann World.
After comprehending dark strength in Great Yann World, it became relatively easy for him to manifest it in reality.
He used dark strength to cleanse his flesh and internal organs, akin to practicing "Nine Yang Divine Skill." From then on, whether he pursued the Chen Sect’s Seventy-two Skills, Divine Pouncing Saber, Ghost Fall Sword, or other internal skills, they would all come naturally, progressing twice as fast with half the effort.
His growth could only be described as astonishing.
In recent days.
His physical fitness reached Level 6, and "Divine Pouncing Saber" advanced to the Sixth Layer, which already caught up with his progress in Great Yann World.
The only thing lacking now was cultivation depth.
...
On this day.
After training, Chen Jichuan didn’t go wandering through Yangshuo, Yongfu, Liding, and other counties like usual.
Instead, he headed south, towards the intersection of Yangshuo County and Liding County.
From afar.
"Open!"
Hidden in the forest, Chen Jichuan’s right eye suddenly revealed twin pupils.
The eerie twin pupils illuminated the distance.
It was as if a full 360-degree panoramic mode had been activated. Chen Jichuan’s vision alternated between looking up at the heavens and gazing down at the earth, surveying an area of thirty miles in radius.
[Thousand-mile Eye: A supernatural skill "Thousand-mile Eye" copied by White Jade City’s master Chen Jichuan from "Sick Yuchi" Fang Dong. Allows all-around vision up to a thousand miles. Note: Currently at the Third Layer, allowing observation within thirty miles in radius; cannot penetrate solid objects.]
"Thousand-mile Eye."
This was a new spell acquired by Chen Jichuan.
"’Sick Yuchi’ Fang Dong."
This was one of the new members recruited by White Jade City.
In recent days.
Beyond cultivating, Chen Jichuan had done a great many other things.
For instance.
After daily training, he traveled far and wide, seeking out Abnormal People hidden among the common folk. With Insight Skill, even if an Abnormal Person concealed themselves extraordinarily well, they couldn’t escape his discerning gaze.
Two months on.
Having visited over a hundred villages and observed more than ten thousand people, he finally found something of value. Following Sheng Dayang and Sheng Xiaotian, he had discovered two more "wild" Abnormal People.
One of them was called "Fang Dong," residing in Xiaoyang Village, west of Lingchuan County.
Fang Dong was twenty-eight years old. In his youth, he was frivolous and enjoyed spying on women. One day, while peeping, a maid beside one such woman hurled a handful of dirt at him, causing a thin layer of membrane to form over his eyes.
By the next morning.
A spiral-like thick membrane grew over both eyes, defying all forms of treatment via medicine. It blocked his pupils entirely, rendering him blind as a bat.
The villagers often remarked that Fang Dong had brought this upon himself.
Mocked and pointed at, though unable to see, he could hear it all clearly, leaving him humiliated and ashamed. From then on, he resolved to turn over a new leaf.
He heard that the Buddhist scripture "Bright Scripture" could eliminate calamities, so he procured a copy and asked others to teach him how to recite it. After his daily labor, he would faithfully read the scripture.
He didn’t expect.
Three years ago, after having suffered for over four years, his vision suddenly returned.
Though only the membrane on his right eye had fallen off, while the thick membrane on his left eye remained unchanged.
Leaving him a One-eyed Dragon.
But at least he regained his sight.
His wife and family, as well as the villagers who had gradually changed their views about Fang Dong over these years, were all happy for him.
Yet no one knew.
After his right eye healed, Fang Dong developed the Thousand-mile Eye. Initially, he could view a radius of ten miles, which over three years gradually expanded to thirty-plus miles.
When Chen Jichuan found this man, he was overjoyed.
With some manipulation, he tricked Fang Dong into joining White Jade City. Under the guise of teaching martial arts to him, Chen Jichuan successfully copied the Thousand-mile Eye.
Unfortunately.
Spells copied from supernatural techniques came with significant limitations. Among them, the three-day duration was one, while the rule of only carrying two spells at once was another.
As a result.
Whenever he ventured out, apart from the indispensable "Blood Burning Skill" for cultivation, his other spell alternated between "Sharp-Hearing Ear" and "Thousand-mile Eye."
The most powerful spell he copied first, "Fire Control Technique," had gradually fallen out of favor.
On this outing.
The two abilities Chen Jichuan carried were "Thousand-mile Eye" and "Blood Burning Skill."
Using "Thousand-mile Eye" to scan his surroundings.
Finding the area empty.
Except for a figure ten miles ahead—a medium-built man in gray clothes—Chen Jichuan felt safe.
He strode forward.
Moving swiftly towards his destination.
