Chapter 332 - 331: A Day in the Life of Xia Chao
At six o’clock, Xia Chao opened his eyes, the new day began.
“What day is it today?” Xia Chao was dazed, having lost track of time.
Now he didn’t need an alarm clock, he could wake up at six o’clock on the dot and sleep on time at midnight.
However, he was somewhat confused about the date and the number of days he had been participating in the training.
He instinctively looked at his phone screen, only to find that he hadn’t used his phone for so long, the phone was out of power.
As he had been continuously cultivating, he had not had the time to charge his phone.
“It seems like I’ve been training for eight months, right?” Xia Chao had a feeling that each day felt like a year. Although he had rested for one night, his legs were still trembling.
The precious five-minute brain-awakening time passed in a flash, and Xia Chao began to cultivate.
“Just as I planned, a month has passed, and you’ve become a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage,” Jiang Li, eating candy-coated haws, was waiting for him at the entrance of the training field.
Xia Chao couldn’t believe that only a month had passed.
Reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage in a month, this speed was much faster than Luo Ying’s at that time.
During Luo Ying’s time, Jiang Li could only give verbal guidance, but in the Lingxi World, Jiang Li could take direct action, so the efficiency was naturally different.
This private training field was originally used by a wealthy person to train their contracted beast, but now it was bought by Jiang Li for training Xia Chao.
The training field was modified by Jiang Li, the gravity was fifteen times that of the outside world, making it very difficult for Xia Chao to move around.
As soon as he entered the private training field, his skin felt as if it were being pricked by needles, his capillaries burst, and he quickly turned red.
The “Perennial Power” cultivation technique automatically operated to heal his body.
The gravity pulled, and the Perennial Power repaired; a balance was achieved between the two.
Xia Chao remembered being introduced to the “Perennial Power”, this was a cultivation technique with an extremely fast self-healing speed, if one could cultivate it to a high level, the speed of self-healing was so fast that one wouldn’t even feel the injury, it would already be healed.
Moreover, the best way to practice “Perennial Power” was to get injured.
Injury, recovery, injury, recovery… this cycle kept repeating, and Xia Chao became stronger through this process.
The walls of the private training field were filled with banners.
Train to the death as long as you won’t die.
Rest is for the dead.
Turn sweat into pearls, dreams into reality.
Strive hard today, who will compete with you tomorrow.
Foundation Establishment in one month, Golden Core in three months, saving the world is not a dream.
Looking above his head, Xia Chao saw an overwhelming array of swords. On closer inspection, he realized they were all magic artifact-level longswords. There were as many as ten thousand of them. These spirit treasures didn’t require spiritual energy to be infused, relying merely on their sharpness could pierce him.
A spirit sword trembled, then suddenly fell like a large star towards Xia Chao.
Xia Chao, as if sensing something, suddenly looked up to see the spirit sword falling with an astonishing speed, clearly it had been deliberately accelerated.
Fifteen times gravity would never have this speed.
The tip of the sword kept enlarging in Xia Chao’s eyes. Xia Chao sensed the crisis of life and death, he dodged sideways, and the spirit sword brushed past his ears and fell to the ground.
Xia Chao was a beat too slow, a piece of his ear was missing. The “Perennial Power” sped up, and his ear healed.
This spirit sword was just the beginning, then two, three… several dozen spirit swords fell.
Xia Chao didn’t bother to look up, he dodged the attacks of the spirit swords based on the airflow and his unique sensing.
Unfortunately, there were just too many spirit swords. Xia Chao, being at the Foundation Establishment Stage, no matter how fast his reaction was, he couldn’t possibly avoid them all.
A spirit sword pierced through his thigh, slowing him down, and several more spirit swords pierced his body. Xia Chao, expressionless, pulled the spirit swords out, without the slightest hesitation.
If it was on the first day, Xia Chao would be crying and yelling in pain because of his inhumane training, but after a month, his mindset has become much more robust.
Such a penetration injury was not a big deal for him.
After surviving another morning, Xia Chao found it was time for lunch at noon.
He chose not to leave the training field and decided to eat under fifteen times gravity right there.
Fried chicken, roast duck, braised beef in a pot, clear river meat pie, flavor mutton knuckle, snow vegetables with meat…
Xia Chao looked at these pictures of delicious food while eating tasteless paste food filled with spiritual energy.
All the foods Xia Chao ate were made from various precious Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.
These ingredients were extremely delicious even boiled with plain water. But when put together, some unknown reactions made their taste rather tricky to describe.
This Food could replenish the spiritual energy Xia Chao lost in the morning and even allowed his foundation to grow stronger and more solid.
To have such a robust foundation in spite of only being in the Foundation Establishment stage for a month could not have been possible without the food.
After twenty minutes, lunch was over, Xia Chao lay down on the ground, allowing gravity to press down on him. Soon, he fell sound asleep.
The noon rest allowed him to fully absorb the nutrients in the food, preparing him for the afternoon.
At 12:40, Xia Chao started his new routine of practice, which was different from the morning session.
In the afternoon, he began to practice an improved version of the Dragon Tiger Arhat Power technique. He was drenched in sweat from lifting a huge rock, but the primitive method proved to be very effective.
Dinner tasted the same as lunch, nutritious but wax-like in flavor.
In the evening, Xia Chao contended with a dozen two-star beasts. He not only dodge but also retaliated. Besides, he even wrestled with the power-star gorilla, well-known for its immense strength, shortly after joining.
The striped antelope was swift and rammed at Xia Chao with his horns, but Xia Chao was as light as a feather, pressing down the antelope’s horns and performed a somersault, seating himself on it.
A monkey then took advantage of the situation, grabbed Xia Chao’s head, and swung him around before throwing him to the ground.
More than a dozen beasts attacked Xia Chao, who was far outmatched. Despite his best efforts, he received more hits than he landed.
After the More than five hours of fighting chaos ended, Xia Chao, so out of breath, mentally and physically exhausted, fell asleep instantly.
“Today we will learn the techniques of energy transfer…”
In his dream, Jiang Li appeared and imparted cultivation knowledge to him.
At six o’clock in the morning, Xia Chao, whose mind was filled with cultivation knowledge, woke up and began a day full of hope.
On the other side.
“Come, taste this.” White Snow Spirit squatted on the ground, happily resting her chin on her hand, while the other hand was holding a small dried fish, feeding the green snake.
The green snake was still as tiny as a month before, but its power had increased dramatically compared to the previous month.
The green snake had already formed its core, becoming a three-star contracted beast.
Its dragon blood lineage became stronger and stronger, and under the pressure of its lineage, ordinary three-star contracted beasts didn’t even dare to stay by its side, let alone fight with it.
The green snake lay in a dragon blood bath, absorbed the power of the dragon blood contained in it, and gradually adapted to the explosively grown power.
Jiang Li asked the Four Seas Dragon Kings for several buckets of true dragon blood to stimulate the green snake’s blood lineage.
After comparison, the East Sea Dragon King’s blood was found to be most suitable for the green snake, so Jiang Li asked for more from him.
The dried fish that White Snow Spirit fed was not a common commodity in the market but was caught from the depths of the East Sea. It was a treasure that many beasts coveted in their dreams.
Eating this fish would strengthen the body.
The green snake was not idle, either. It carefully studied the battle techniques inherited from the ancient true dragons contained in its own dragon blood lineage.
