Chapter 546: Chapter 318: Upgrading and the Passage of Time_2

In practical terms,

When the collision occurred, the spiritual power that originally enveloped the Strength Particles, preventing them from escaping, was shaken.

As a result, the control over the Strength Particles weakened.

And the strength that was hardly brought near the muscles escaped again to other parts of the body.

Left with no choice,

Chen Sheng can only start over again.

This process repeated several times.

Until the night faded, and it was early morning.

Chen Sheng finally pierced the iron block with chopsticks.

It was also the first time he brought the Strength Particles to the crowded muscle cells.

Half an hour later.

“Done.”

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, showing joy.

Although those Strength Particles dissipated the moment they were drawn into the cell gaps due to overcrowding,

Even the originally stable Strength Particles became restless as well.

But this didn’t matter.

Because as long as this step is completed, the rest can be handed over to the Panel.

With that in mind.

While it was still early,

Chen Sheng couldn’t wait to summon the Panel.

[Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing lv1:0/200]

For secret skills, the most difficult part is how to increase Spiritual Power.

As for the skill points needed for upgrading, they are hardly worth mentioning for Chen Sheng.

Without hesitation,

Chen Sheng had already become proficient in this.

He concentrated his attention, his eyes falling on the words in front of him.

Upgrade!

——————

Two hours later.

“Ha—”

Zhou Li walked out of the room, stretching.

The sun had not fully risen yet.

The air in the early morning was somewhat cold.

Just after stretching, Zhou Li shivered directly from the chill.

It also made his sleepy mind fully awake in an instant.

Just as he was about to go wash up,

He saw someone standing in the center of the courtyard.

It was an old man who looked even older than him.

The slack and aged skin hung down without strength.

He silently stood in the center of the courtyard, arms stretched open.

His shriveled chest rose and fell with a weak amplitude.

But strangely,

Although the old man looked very weak on the outside, as if he could die at any moment,

He had an inexplicable air of transcendence.

Zhou Li stared at the elderly man, unable to think of any words to describe him for a moment.

However, he instinctively felt that the man’s identity was definitely not simple.

Entering someone else’s house without greeting,

It’s possible the visitor meant harm!

So,

Adhering to the principle of living in society,

Zhou Li didn’t immediately question the visitor.

He just quietly moved his body towards the main room behind him, preparing to shout for Chen Sheng’s help at any time.

But at this moment,

The old man in the courtyard slightly tilted his head.

His eyes fell directly on Zhou Li.

“It’s me.”

The old man spoke indifferently just a second before Zhou Li started shouting for help.

Although his body had aged,

Chen Sheng’s voice had not changed much.

Therefore,

Zhou Li immediately identified him.

“What happened to you?”

“Did you lose control while cultivating?”

Zhou Li hurried to Chen Sheng’s side with an astonished look on his face.

One night he was a young man, the next morning he became an old man.

Having never seen such a strange sight, Zhou Li couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“It’s nothing, just a breakthrough in the cultivation technique.”

“A breakthrough?”

Upon hearing this,

Zhou Li’s eyes widened instantly.

“What kind of reverse breakthrough is this?”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng, who usually couldn’t be bothered to explain too much, took a rare leisurely moment and began to talk to Zhou Li about secret skills.

For Zhou Li, who had never succeeded in cultivating the Breathing Technique, this was his first exposure to the top martial arts techniques.

Astonished by the incredible effects of secret skills, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“It’s a pity.”

“This old man’s aptitude is no good; I’ve reached my limit.”

“What a pity, what a pity.”

After listening to Chen Sheng’s explanation.

Zhou Li suddenly became serious.

He looked up at the rising sun on the horizon.

Longing and admiration rose in his heart, but he also couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss.

All of this,

was naturally seen by Chen Sheng.

“Enough, old man.”

“Being sentimental doesn’t suit you.”

“Go do what you need to do.”

Chen Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder.

With this,

he pulled Zhou Li out of his melancholy mood.

“Damn it.”

“Can’t I have a moment of melancholy?”

“Forget it, I won’t argue with a kid.”

Zhou Li’s eyes widened.

It seemed like he didn’t want to say anything else to Chen Sheng.

The old man walked away with his hands behind his back, heading towards the door.

As his figure disappeared,

“What do you want for breakfast?”

A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

“Meat buns, I haven’t had them in a long time.”

“Understood, I’ll get you vegetable buns.”

With that,

the footsteps gradually faded away.

Chen Sheng didn’t pay too much attention to Zhou Li’s deliberate provocation.

He simply raised his head again, squinting his eyes.

At this moment,

he successfully broke through the second realm of the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing.

Chen Sheng felt that his body was like a dry sponge,

madly and greedily absorbing the Qi around him and constantly being filled into various parts of his body under the guidance of his spiritual power.

Plus, his basic attributes were increasing every moment,

the feeling was quite wonderful.

“When my strength increases again,”

“It should be soon.”

“I really want to see how the Heavenly Person is immortal.”

Chen Sheng looked at the rising sun in the sky and murmured.

During the two days that the incident in Kyoto occurred, Li Wuji had talked to him.

According to the predictions of the Martial Arts Association,

counting from the day when the Respected Elder revolted, it would take at most half a month.

Then the Heavenly Person would awaken.

_until today,

more than a week had passed.

The Martial Arts Association and Chen Sheng naturally did not plan to wait for the Heavenly Person to awaken and come to their doorstep before fighting back.

Before that day comes, the Association has other plans.

At that time,

Chen Sheng will participate in the action and personally test the Heavenly Person’s weight.

It’s about time.

he would complete all of his current upgrade plans.

With this in mind,

Chen Sheng calmed his thoughts and immersed himself in cultivation again.

————

Five days later.

Yihe Gate.

Chen Sheng lay spread-eagled on the top of the main peak.

He wasn’t in cultivation, nor was he sleeping,

he just lay there quietly on the mountain peak, looking at the sun high up in the sky.

In the previous five days,

he had completed his body’s adaptation to thunder, the upgrade of the second realm of the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing, and the cultivation of the second round of the Seven Demon Holy Scripture, according to his own predictions.

Now, his physical attributes and various abilities had reached a terrifying level, far exceeding Chen Sheng’s original estimates.

At the same time, the international conference held by the Martial Arts Association had ended several days ago, and with the help of Xilia Empire, they had successfully gained the leadership position.

As the most powerful force and the one with the deepest understanding of the Heavenly Person,

the Martial Arts Association sent a large number of low-level martial artists out and cooperated with the local people to investigate and station at the Heavenly Persons’ slumbering or sealed locations.

On the other hand, the Martial Arts Association successfully reached a mutual aid agreement with both the Char Federation and the Xilia Empire.

The three parties cooperated with each other to jointly promote the genetic and mechanical engineering of Char Empire.

With the provision of numerous combat personnel by the Char Empire to assist the other two parties, the Martial Arts Association and Xilia Empire shared some of their own cultivation techniques.

Before Chen Sheng arrived at Yihe Gate and started cultivating the Seven Demon Holy Scripture, he had already seen many foreigners in Kyoto.

According to Li Wuji,

the inscription method had an exceptional compatibility with secret skills.

With the combination of the two, the mid-to-high-level strength of the Martial Arts Association increased by a level in just five days.

Of course, Li Wuji and Sun Yihe were not among them.

Their strength was too high, and those so-called gifts couldn’t help them at all.

At the same time, there were many other changes in recent days.

The secret shelters in the Martial Arts Association and Wu’an Bureau that had been cultivated over the years had begun operating normally.

It was impossible to accommodate all the people,

but those living in cities around the Heavenly Person’s location gradually moved to shelters under the arrangements made by the Martial Arts Association.

Most of the people Chen Sheng knew had already been relocated to safety over the past two or three days.

Facing the Heavenly Person,

the human side’s preparations were proceeding methodically.

And at this moment, Chen Sheng was also honing his body control while waiting for Li Wuji’s message.
