Asura Continent

A wave of pure energy was released from the jade wall and entered his body through the pores on his chest. This surge of energy was simply uncontrollable. After it entered his body, it began to circulate in his blood, and then it turned into true energy and entered his dantian. In the blink of an eye, his dantian began to swell up. Lu Yang had encountered this kind of situation before, and that was the sign of breaking through.

Lu Yang was ecstatic. Was he about to break through?

However, that happiness hadn't been maintained for long. Lu Yang's face became abnormally ugly, and his dantian was still swelling, yet it hadn't broken through yet. If he continued like this, it wouldn't be long before his body exploded and he died. What should he do? Should he give up on absorbing the energy within the jade wall or gamble and see if he could break through?

In the end, Lu Yang's desire to break through took over. He really wanted to break through, wanted to raise his cultivation in a short amount of time. This was the only way he could avenge his mother as quickly as possible. He didn't want this enmity to drag on for many years. When he thought of how Lu Tao was still at large and enjoying himself in the Lu Manor, Lu Yang felt a wave of discomfort in his heart.

Lu Yang's dantian was swelling up more and more, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat. He clenched his teeth and persevered, hoping to break through as soon as possible. Time passed by slowly. Every breath of his felt like a century to Lu Yang. After an unknown amount of time had passed, just as Lu Yang could no longer hold on, he heard a muffled bang from his Dantian, and the feeling of swelling disappeared.

As long as a Martial Cultivator reached the Yellow Rank, they would have the ability to see internally. The so-called Internal Inspection was to be able to sense the situation within their body after closing their eyes as if they were seeing it with their own eyes. Lu Yang quickly checked on the situation of his Dantian and was surprised to find that his Dantian had expanded quite a bit compared to before. In other words, he could absorb even more true energy.

In the past when he had a breakthrough, after his Dantian grew bigger, the true strength within his body would also increase. But this time, it was not the same. Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't think of a reason why his dantian had grown larger and his cultivation hadn't broken through. Was he still a late Yellow Rank martial artist?

Lu Yang took a deep breath and continued punching out body techniques. He did not believe that he would not be able to raise his cultivation if he continued cultivating like this.

Reality was always so cruel, so cruel that Lu Yang was somewhat unable to accept it. No matter how many times he performed body techniques and punches, his cultivation did not increase by even a single bit, not even a drop of true energy. Lu Yang was stunned. In the past, cultivation could increase one's true strength by a tiny bit, but why was it that after cultivating for so long and absorbing the energy emitted by the mysterious jade wall, it was unable to increase one's true strength?

Could it be that his cultivation would be stuck at the same level forever, forever stuck at the late yellow level?

If that was the case, why did his dantian become larger? This could not be explained with common sense.

At this moment, Lu Yang really wanted to find someone to ask, but in the blink of an eye, he thought about it and then gave up on that idea.

When he was with Su Lang, Su Lang had said that unless it was absolutely necessary, he should never reveal his secret. If he had a rare treasure, he should never take it out to show it to others, and even more so not tell others. In this world, there were no absolute good people, no absolute bad people, only absolute benefits.

When benefits reach a certain level, they can make a person lose their nature, they become crazy, ignore ethics, and do something you can't imagine. If Lu Yang were to reveal the situation on his body, he would definitely mention the jade wall. What if the other party requests to see the jade wall and discovers that the jade wall is a treasure?

In this way, there were only two choices. He could either take the jade wall to study it or kill him once he discovered that it was a treasure.

Lu Yang thought about it for a moment. He felt that the jade wall must be a treasure, but he had yet to figure out how to use it. If he asked someone about the situation with the jade wall now, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Perhaps, the other party might even be able to snatch the jade wall from him. There was a possibility that he might even be killed in the process. Lu Yang sighed and looked at the jade wall in his hand. He muttered to himself, "Mother, why didn't you tell me how to use this jade wall in the past?"

Recalling that his mother had only given him half of the jade wall and the other half had suddenly appeared in his world, Lu Yang felt like there was an invisible hand controlling him. However, who was this person and why did he do this? Since he was helping her, wouldn't it be better to come out and meet with her? Lu Yang couldn't think of why they would do that, but he was sure that they wouldn't harm him.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Yang continued to execute body techniques to absorb the energy within the jade wall.

After about two hours, Lu Yang stopped cultivating and simply ate some game. He then came to the study yard to listen to martial arts cultivation common sense.

Every time the youth in white clothing saw Lu Yang, he would look at him with an amiable gaze, but he never said a single word to him.

Lu Yang knew that the other party did not find the right opportunity to make a move on him, and was too lazy to ask. He did not place such a clown in his eyes at all.

Days passed just like this. Every morning, Lu Yang would wake up on time to cultivate, then go to the academy and come back to cultivate.

Day after day, it was the same as every day. Lu Yang's cultivation still had not broken through, but his dantian had become bigger, not much weaker than a Xuan grade primary stage cultivator. To Lu Yang, this could be said to be a good thing, but it could also be said to be a bad thing. From what Zhou Long said about martial arts, he learned that it was extremely difficult for one's dantian to become large. Under normal circumstances, this could only happen when one broke through.

Of course, if a fortuitous encounter occurred, it could also change the size of a person's dantian.

However, at that time, someone had asked Zhou Long what sort of fortuitous encounters were, and Zhou Long was unable to answer them.

Lu Yang thought about the current situation. Wasn't this a fortuitous encounter? Moreover, under strange circumstances, he encountered such a strange thing. Over time, Lu Yang stopped worrying about his Dantian. As long as his Dantian grew bigger, it would be a good thing. In the future, he would have a chance to find the reason and then raise his cultivation.

After a month, Zhou Long had finished talking about all the common martial arts knowledge he had learned. He brought everyone to the flatlands of the Yellow Institute and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we need to start our basic training for the next month. If you want to increase your cultivation faster, you need to work even harder during this month." If you pay a lot, breaking through the Profound Rank in a month's time won't be a difficult task. "

Saying that, Zhou Long paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, you all might not care about when you break through. You all think that as long as you break through within a year, you will be able to enter the Black Tortoise Courtyard next year when you reach the early stage of the Black Tortoise Courtyard. I can tell you all that your thoughts are correct. Every year, the Martial Arts Academy takes the exam and breaks through to the next realm, and enters a school with a corresponding cultivation. If you don't break through, you'll stay here. "

"This is only for normal students. If you want to enter the Earth Academy next year, you must treasure this month of training." Zhou Long changed the topic of his words and said in a deep voice, "Two months later, the Empire's three great academies will hold a martial arts competition for new students. Each academy will choose ten people, and if you can enter the top ten, you will each receive a Bone Ablutionary Dan. If you enter the top three, not only will you be able to obtain a large amount of medicinal pills, you will also be able to obtain peerless weapons. "

When everyone heard the words "peerless weapon", their eyes were filled with excitement. One of them said, "Instructor Zhou, what is the material of a peerless weapon?"

Zhou Long was a man of his word. At this time, he began to joke around, saying, "Everyone, rest assured. This is definitely not a wooden sword or a bamboo sword, nor is it an iron sword that can be bought anywhere on the continent."

When these words were spoken, everyone laughed out loud. Their hearts were filled with anticipation towards the quality of the weapon.

If it was a weapon forged from Fine Steel, it would be quite good. After all, even a Fine Steel Sword would cost a gold coin in the mainland.

A gold coin was nothing in the eyes of wealthy families, but it was a lot of money for the children of poor families.

Seeing that everyone was concerned about the material of the weapon, Zhou Long did not waste time talking and said: "It's said that the first place will receive a weapon refined from darksteel, and the second and third are Frosted Iron Swords. Therefore, if you want to obtain this kind of treasure, then work hard to cultivate it. Only after breaking through the Profound Rank in one month will you have the qualifications to represent the new students of the Mortal Life Academy and head to the Sky Dragon Academy to participate in the competition. "

"Don't you have confidence?" In order to stir the mood of the crowd, Zhou Long bellowed loudly.

Everyone clenched their fists tightly. One of them was extremely excited and shouted in unison, "Confident, confident …"

Zhou Long nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he raised his right hand and made a pressuring motion as he said: "There is a room behind you. There is a metal robe there. Put one on each of them and gather here."

Everyone turned around and came to a large house. Inside the house, there was a large wooden cabinet. There were countless small boxes on top of the cabinet, and each box held a piece of clothing. Those clothes were neatly folded. They were entirely black, and there were very few fabrics on them. Most of the areas were made of steel, and there were countless pockets on the front of the clothes.

Each grid had a label with the size and size of the clothes written on it. The body size was different, and the choices were different.

Lu Yang came in front of a grid and quickly took off his clothes. The moment he held the clothes in his hands, he was stunned.

This piece of metal clothes was too heavy. It was so heavy that it surpassed his imagination and actually reached fifty kilograms.

One must know that an adult's weight was no more than a hundred pounds. These immature teenagers weighed about a hundred jin. Other than Fatty Li, who had a very fat body, only a few of them weighed over a hundred jin. Moreover, most of them weighed over a hundred jin. In that moment, the room was filled with endless sounds of dejection. It was obvious that they all felt that this metal robe was too heavy.

"How can I wear such heavy clothes!?" If you wear it like this for a day, won't you die from exhaustion? "

"That's right!" Unless we release our true strength, we won't be able to hold on for long. "

"But my true strength is limited. Even if I keep releasing it, I won't be able to last for a few hours."

"..."

Because of Little Fatty Li's fat body, he didn't know how he trained. His strength was very strong, so after he easily put it on, he chuckled and said, "Not bad, it's not too heavy..."

The moment he said that, everyone rolled their eyes. They all wanted to slap Little Fatty Li to death.

After an hour, everyone was dressed in their iron clothes. Zhou Long's next words left everyone dumbfounded, "You will follow me to the back of the mountain. From today onwards, you will have to endure for eight hours of physical training every day. You are not allowed to come back at noon. If you are thirsty and hungry, you will settle it on the mountain. Do you understand? "

At this moment, one of the students couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Zhou, isn't this asking for our lives?"

Zhou Long let out a cold snort. He stared at the person and said, "If you don't want to go, then stay here. Tomorrow morning you can leave the Mortal Life Academy." After saying that, he ran back to the academy's back door without looking back.

The crowd sighed and helplessly followed, quickly running towards the back of the mountain.

Everyone knew that the physical training was still to come. They did not use any real strength. When they reached the back door, they were all panting heavily.

Zhang Liang and Hong Gang clasped their fists towards Zhou Long and said at the same time, "Instructor Zhou, nice to meet you."

Zhou Long nodded and didn't speak to them. He walked a few steps to the cliff, pointed at the suspension bridge, and said, "Do you see the suspension bridge? After lining up, he walked over the iron railing. "Remember, do not touch those wooden boards. They have already rotted away, so if you walk on them, you will definitely fall down. I don't need to tell you the consequences of falling off the cliff."
