Chapter 285: Training Methods (1/2)
Jack lost himself in the feeling of experiencing the sharpness. His body was being completely damaged and recovered slowly. Unknowingly, his body is being tempered slowly but surely.
But for the viewers, the scene is terrifying. The blood is flowing down along with the water that is flowing off of Jack's body, even his face was being cut in various places.
All of them can only stare at him as if he is a madman.
Some of them stopped their jobs and stared intently at Jack to see what will happen and see how long he can take it.
”What is so amazing about it? Anyone can do it.”
One of the spectators said these words and took off his shirt, he held his saber and stood right under the waterfall.
His skin immediately started lacerating and he felt immense pain. Instinctively, he blocked his body with the spiritual energy and left the place. He was horrified by the experience. He is a Grand Realm cultivator. Although he is from the initial stage, his body is still strong.
At least as strong as Jack's who practiced body strengthening. But he wasn't able to bear the pain for even a second. The waterfall is really dangerous.
Everyone now has deeper respect when they looked at Jack.
But Jack didn't know what they are thinking. In his mind, he is completely in a trance as an image of a swordsman formed. For every wound, he received from the waterfall.
At first, he wasn't able to perceive a single movement, all he could see is a flash of an image in his mind.
But he didn't stop. He kept on receiving the wounds one after another and kept on observing.
Time passed slowly. Only after one day, could he observe the image in his mind and perceive a single movement. The easiest one. It is a sword drawn.
The sword is drawn from the sheath in a particular manner such that move is sharp yet gentle at the same time, flowing like water.
He was completely immersed in a whole new world of swordsmanship.
Meanwhile, at the same time Jack entered the waterfall, Philip also reached his destination.
He actually came back to the lava rock city.
And now, he is on the top of the Volcano staring at the Magma inside.
There are two inheritances which he received on the island. One of them is a metal element and another one is a fire element one.
The Fire element one only has a secret art that will save him in extremely life-threatening situations.
As for the metal element one, this is used for many aspects either for close combats or forging purposes. This is a complete method of metal molding. But before he could practice that technique, Philip has something else to do first and that understands his own elemental powers and spiritual core's nature properly.
He has a combination of dual elements and he is also a warrior. He used the dual elements in many ways by combining them to create molten metal in battles. They indeed helped him create more damage.
But he felt that he can use it more flexibly and create more possibilities in the battle.
So, what is the natural resource that is closer to molten metal? The magma. So, he came to the Lava Rock village, which is the closest volcano he could think of.
However, Philip had more peace of mind than Jack as there are not many people within the Lava Rock village.
He climbed down into the volcano and stood on the small rocky platform which is on the edge of the magma pool.
He looked at the nature of lava which is moving slowly. From what he can see there seemed to be a small underground Lava river.
He didn't think much and sat cross-legged on the bank as he keenly observed the nature of the magma.
He observed the intensity of the heat that it could create, the occasional burst of gas that come out due to the formation of bubbles, the sudden increase of heat, and melting the rock at the boundary of the pool albeit a small portion. He observed everything that could be perceived by the eyes.
Next, he took off the clothes and took out the breathing device, Sam used for diving. He borrowed one for this purpose. He equipped the device and covered his whole body with fire elemental spiritual energy and slowly walked inside the pool.
He didn't dare to spiritual energy shield no matter what. The Lava is far dangerous and with his current level at the peak of a great realm, it is impossible for him to resist. He can still manage the lava near the boundaries, but if he wants to go deeper, he would be done for.
He even specifically asked Sam to create a series on inscriptions so that he wouldn't be troubled by the gas and the mask itself reacting to lava and the heat.
He closed his eyes as he floated over the Lava surface and he started feeling what the lava could do to his body.
His approach is somewhat similar to Jack. He is also using the crudest way to gauge the strength of something and that is experiencing the strength by using his body.
He would just take all the damage he could do determine the strength and benefits of this lava.
As he experienced the feeling, he kept on increasing the strength of the spiritual energy shield as he started sinking inside slowly but steadily.
As the depth increased, the heat increased. At this moment, he could feel the Lava flowing densely. His initial guess was right.
