Chapter 82 The River and the Official Beginning
The sound of rumbling water echoed in my ears.
Chen Sheng and Zhou Li stood on the edge of the mountain wall, feeling as if the whole world was filled with this sound.
Not far behind them was a boulder.
Next to the boulder was a fire that the two had just set up, with an iron pot brought by Zhou Li on top.
The iron pot has already been filled with river water.
"Old man, are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
Even though Chen Sheng had already been mentally prepared, he looked at the waterfall from a close distance and felt the rushing water. He was still a little frightened.
This has nothing to do with strength, but human beings' instinctive fear when facing nature.
When Chen Sheng entered the water for the first time, he needed to adapt to practicing the Eagle Body Skill in the river.
After he got used to it, Zhou Li began to cook the elixir soup to maximize the effect of his practice.
"Don't worry, it's no problem. When my father was practicing martial arts here, that's how I watched from the side."
Zhou Li assured Chen Sheng by patting his chest, but he soon suffered from a violent cough.
"Old man, you"
Chen Sheng hesitated to speak. He looked at Zhou Li with a little shock in his eyes.
"I treat you as a friend, but I didn't expect you to treat me as a friend."
"Get out of here, believe it or not, I'll kick you down!"
Zhou Li cursed loudly.
Chen Sheng shrugged and said no more.
It wasn't because he was afraid that Zhou Li would really kick him down.
On the stone wall, the temperature is extremely low.
He watched Zhou Li's face change from rosy to pale now.
He also persuaded Zhou Li to stay on the river bank and wait for him. But the other party was always worried about Chen Sheng alone.
"This river is far scarier than you think. You'll know when you get to the bottom of the waterfall later."
Facing Chen Sheng's persuasion, Zhou Li responded with a serious face.
Seeing this,
Chen Sheng no longer forced it.
He took a few steps closer to the edge of the waterfall and looked down.
My brain suddenly felt dizzy.
Zhou Li followed closely, pointing to a raised stone a few meters below.
"See that rock?"
"I will tie a rope on you later, and you can practice breathing on the rock."
Say it, Zhou Li took out a thick hemp rope. Tie it around Chen Sheng's waist.
The other end was tied to a boulder beside the waterfall.
"Practice boldly and confidently. Even if something happens, the old man will pull you up."
Zhou Li grinned, his face full of confidence.
To this.
Chen Sheng expressed great doubts.
But he didn't hesitate any longer.
They looked at each other and nodded to Zhou Li.
I saw Chen Sheng aiming at the position.
Leap.
Plop.
The huge figure was immediately submerged into the water.
"call--"
cold.
Bitingly cold.
The cold aura that could almost freeze the soul penetrated every pore on the surface of Chen Sheng's skin.
This was Chen Sheng's first feeling when he stood on the stone.
Even with his strong body when he entered the state of breathing, it was difficult to resist the cold that penetrated into his bones.
He subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath.
But the feeling that followed made him almost unable to breathe.
Heavy.
It's like a huge force pressing down on the top.
Far more than what Chen Sheng felt when wearing weight-bearing equipment.
The water washed through Chen Sheng's body, making him feel that every corner of his body was under pressure from all directions.
Coldness and gravity hit one after another.
Chen Sheng could no longer maintain the rhythm of the breathing method.
The originally huge body quickly shrank and returned to its normal state.
Plop!
His body attributes were instantly reduced by one-third, making it even more difficult for Chen Sheng to resist the erosion of the water.
He knelt down on one knee and supported his body with his arms, so that he could barely avoid being swept down by the waterfall.
Oh shit!
What kind of bullshit river water is this!
Chen Sheng fell to his knees with a ferocious look on his face.
This kind of coldness and gravity are simply not something that ordinary water flow can have.
He struggled to get up from the ground.
But the water kept hitting his back, making him feel as if he was carrying a huge boulder and couldn't move at all.
"Boy, are you okay?!"
Zhou Li's shouting voice came faintly.
Chen Sheng wanted to respond,
Just resisting the current made his face turn red.
Once he opens his mouth, the breath he is holding may be washed away directly.
He could only shake the rope around his waist slightly and give Zhou Li a response.
soon,
The other party's voice came again.
"Hold your breath and don't focus on fighting the current."
“Focus on your body!”
Focus on my body?
Hearing this, Chen Sheng was thoughtful.
Take your attention away from the water.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes and began to feel the changes in his body.
At this glance, he noticed something unusual.
His body actually entered a state similar to breathing.
His heart began to beat rapidly, and the blood in his body rushed to every corner of his body at an unprecedented speed, trying to dispel the coldness that invaded his body.
at the same time,
Every muscle in the body is also in an unprecedented state of congestion to resist the pressure of gravity.
The internal organs, limbs, muscles and fascia.
The inside and outside of the whole body are highly unified.
together to resist external threats.
Although the physical strength is also losing at an extremely fast speed.
But Chen Sheng's body was in an active state like never before.
He only needs a little adjustment before he can enter the state of breathing again.
and,
It is a stronger state than before.
Think of this.
"suck--"
"call--"
Chen Sheng kept trying.
Adjust your breathing again and again.
But it failed again and again.
Fortunately,
He is not discouraged.
Time passed slowly.
ten minutes.
twenty minutes.
Standing at the edge of the waterfall, Zhou Li's lips turned purple and his face turned pale due to the cold mountain wind.
But he still looked in the direction of Chen Sheng worriedly.
until now,
It has been half an hour since Chen Sheng entered the water.
However, his figure was always submerged in it and he could not see the specific situation clearly.
During this period, if it weren't for Chen Sheng shaking the rope several times and reporting his situation to Zhou Li.
I'm afraid he had already desperately pulled Chen Sheng up from under the current.
only
This is too long.
Zhou Li became increasingly worried, fearing that Chen Sheng would be too stubborn and would not give up trying.
decades ago.
When Zhou Li was young, he once briefly tried waterfall practice.
But he only stayed in the water for just two minutes before exiting immediately.
If he stayed for another minute, he felt that his life would be decided directly at the waterfall.
The double pressure of coldness and gravity was something he would never forget.
You know, even his father never stays for more than half an hour at a time.
only,
What Zhou Li didn't know was,
When he tried it, his anger was still at a low ebb.
But now with the high tide coming.
The water in this river is no longer what it used to be.
The pain Chen Sheng experienced was several times greater than what he had experienced back then.
If Zhou Li knew this, he wouldn't dare let Chen Sheng practice here at all.
Unfortunately,
It's such an information gap.
Chen Sheng suffered tremendous pain.
Fortunately,
Misfortunes and blessings always depend on each other, and misfortunes come where blessings come from.
At this time, at the bottom of the waterfall.
After half an hour of torture.
Chen Sheng gradually felt that he seemed to be somewhat adapted to the washing of the water.
Each time you adjust your breath, hold on for longer and longer.
Follow him trying again and again.
The internal organs, muscles and fascia in the body are gradually entering the resonance of the same frequency.
"suck--"
"call--"
finally.
After half an hour of continuous trying.
Uh-huh!
Chen Sheng opened his eyes.
A circle of amber appeared around his pupils again.
"Ka-ka!"
The movement coming from within the body was stronger than the sound every time the body changed before.
Chen Sheng's body began to expand rapidly.
His palms on the ground were slightly arched.
The originally hard stone suddenly became like a piece of tofu, being easily submerged by fingers.
Just a few seconds.
Chen Sheng resumed his breathing technique again.
His skin gradually turned red.
The high temperature in the body and the icy cold water collided with each other, stirring up bursts of white mist from the surface of the body.
Chen Sheng gradually felt that the pressure brought by the water flow was no longer so strong.
He grinned.
"Give it to me!!!"
Veins bulged slightly on his forehead.
Chen Sheng exerted force on his legs and arms at the same time.
finally,
Uh-huh!
Chen Sheng stood up from the stone despite the cold and pressure.
Even the water of the waterfall could not hide his huge figure.
"good!!!"
Zhou Li, who was standing above, couldn't help but cheer loudly when he saw this scene.
"Boy, be careful to conserve your energy!"
"What you have to do now is to get familiar with exercising in the water first, and don't overexert your energy."
The words just fell.
Below the waterfall, a muscled arm slowly extended out of the water, making an OK gesture.
Seeing this, Zhou Li chuckled.
He immediately went to the fire at the back and lit the wood with a lighter.
As the temperature in the pot gradually increases.
Waves of steam floated up from the surface of the river.
An hour and a half later.
Wow!
Chen Sheng jumped out of the water.
The huge body hit the ground with a loud thud.
Taking the towel from Zhou Li, Chen Sheng wiped his wet hair.
at the same time,
The remaining water stains on his body are also evaporating due to the high temperature inside his body.
The whole person seemed to be cooked, with bursts of steam constantly coming out.
"Is the elixir soup ready?"
He looked at Zhou Li beside the fire.
"Are you rushing to be reincarnated?!"
"Just wait patiently and recover your strength along the way."
"Don't wait until you are halfway through training. It will be funny if you don't have enough physical strength - cough, cough, cough!"
Zhou Li tried to raise the issue as always.
But as soon as he said a few words, he started coughing violently.
The cough lasted so long that he finally crawled straight to the ground.
Seeing this,
Chen Sheng immediately stepped forward, preparing to take him back to the river bank to rest regardless of the other party's opinions.
"STOP!"
But at this time,
Zhou Li raised his hand and said something in English.
"I'll go down after the elixir soup is cooked. You kid can't control the heat and will waste the good stuff later."
He shakily climbed up from the ground and rested against the boulder.
"If you dare to pull me down, I will shit on you."
Zhou Li leaned against the boulder, his chest heaving violently.
Just saying one word seemed to consume all his energy.
Of course Chen Sheng is not afraid of the other party pooping.
However, he looked at the determination in his eyes and understood that even if he wanted to pull Zhou Li away, he would definitely not let him go.
finally,
He sighed helplessly, took off his shirt and placed it next to the fire to dry.
After that, he covered Zhou Li directly.
"Take it easy, old man."
"Don't miss it if you don't see me killing everyone in the martial arts competition."
Hearing this,
Zhou Li sneered.
"Of course I have to live until then."
"Look at how you, a stinky boy, got beaten to the point of peeing."
As he said this, he seemed to be thinking of something.
Zhou Li laughed.
Rarely, Chen Sheng did not refute.
He just sat by the fire and looked at the elixir in the pot without saying a word.
Waves of aroma drift into your nose along with the breeze in the mountains.
Chen Sheng called out the panel.
【Chen Sheng】
【Strength: 10.4】
[Agility: 10.8]
[Physique: 10.6]
[Skill points: 12.6]
[Eagle Breathing Technique lv1: 249/10000]
Strength increased by 1
Agility increased by 1.1
Physical fitness increased by 1.1
In the morning, Chen Sheng always maintained the breathing rhythm of the three-body pose during his movements, and he had just practiced the Eagle Body Breathing Technique for an hour and a half.
All his attributes comprehensively exceeded the 10-point mark.
The skill points have also reached the point where it is enough to improve the eagle breathing method.
But it's not over yet.
Next, is the real highlight.
Looking at the elixir soup in the pot, it exuded a strange luster.
How strong will I be in two days?
Chen Sheng didn't know.
But he's looking forward to it.
From now on, attribute values will only be displayed to one decimal place, which will look simpler.
