C31 (2/2)

However, Bai Chen did not have any of these three conditions. He could not perform physical training in the academy, nor did he have any spiritual medicines. As for actual combat, unless one looked for experts of the same level to fight, it would be useless if they were too strong or too weak.

That's right!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Bai Chen's mind. He remembered that behind the academy was a mountain. If he could go to the depths of the mountains to cultivate, that would be a pretty good choice.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Chen decided that he would do it. He left the cave and rushed to the back mountain of the academy. An hour later, he arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the forest, Bai Chen looked around before heading up the mountain. According to the other students, there were magical beasts at the back mountain, but the majority of them were deep within the mountain, so it was hard to see them from the outside.

Bai Chen didn't necessarily need to find a magical beast to undergo combat training. There wasn't a single person at the back of the mountain. He could easily overload his physical strength to train his body here.

Arriving at the back of the mountain, Bai Chen found a valley that had a little bit of mountain rock. There were small mountain like rocks all over the place, so it would be great if he could use it for physical training.

Bai Chen surveyed his surroundings, and in the end, his gaze landed on a rock that was three times bigger than him.

This amount looks just right, so I'll take it!

A smile flashed across Bai Chen's face. He immediately stepped forward and lifted up the rock. The huge weight of the rock instantly pressed down his body so hard that his waist couldn't straighten up.

”It really has enough weight!” Bai Chen sighed to himself. He was actually very happy to be pressed down by such a huge rock. This was because he had found a pretty good cultivation method.

He carried the rocks on his back and sprinted all over the mountain. Although physical training was hard, it was the simplest training method. This was the only way to improve his own strength.

Hence, a scene like this could be seen often in this deserted back mountain. A petite youth carrying a huge rock that was several times bigger than his body was running around in all directions.

Carrying rocks to climb trees, carrying rocks to do push-ups, and even holding a piece of rock with both hands to do push-ups. These were all common physical training, but due to the huge negative weight, they were very useful for Bai Chen's body.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. Bai Chen had already been at Canghai Academy for a month. Ever since he found the method to temper his body, every day was filled to the brim.

Every morning, Bai Chen would go to the back mountain to train and stealthily study his physical body. Besides sleeping, Bai Chen only had two places to do so every day: in the classroom, and in the back mountain!

Under such arduous cultivation, Bai Chen's strength had clearly improved. His originally small and thin body had grown many solid muscles in just half a month.

Even Yan Le was shocked by his diligent training. Amongst all the newcomers, only Zhang Fu could compete with Bai Chen.

Zhang Fu had to be mentioned here. Although his strength was indeed the weakest of the villagers, he worked very hard, but his talent was limited, and just like Bai Chen, he spent all of his time cultivating, but Bai Chen's growth was obvious. On the other hand, Zhang Fu was still ranked last among the newcomers.

The sunset glow illuminated the west side of the sky with a reddish glow. Dizzy yellow rays of light penetrated through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkling bits and pieces into the forest.

At this moment, somewhere in the back mountain, a thirteen or fourteen year old youth was constantly smashing rocks on the mountain with a pair of fists.

How could the person in front of him be anyone other than Bai Chen?

Bang, bang, bang …

Crack, crack, crack …

With a series of collisions, many craters appeared in the rocks. Some of the rocks were even directly shattered, and the rocks were all riddled with holes.

”Phew …”

Bai Chen let out a long sigh of relief and stopped. He sat down on the ground and started panting heavily. Beads of sweat started dripping down his face and slowly dripped onto the ground.

Due to the constant attacks on the rocks, Bai Chen's hands had many cuts on them. However, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he continued smiling.

Half a month of devil training had caused Bai Chen's physical body to almost reach the peak of a Primary Spirit Master. He believed that he would soon be able to completely break through to the Intermediate Spirit Master realm with his physical body and spiritual energy at the same level. At that time, his battle prowess would rise by a whole level.

Bai Chen lifted his head and looked at the sky. It was getting late, so he hurriedly ran down the mountain.

Due to the increase in his physical strength, Bai Chen's speed was now many times faster than before. He was like a cheetah as he ran through the forest.

During his usual training sessions, Bai Chen had been carrying boulders weighing several hundred kilograms. Now, with such ease, he felt as if there was a gust of wind pulling him from beneath his feet.
