The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

"However, Master Ma can't force me to cultivate; I have to do it at my own pace."

Zhang Lingfeng was overjoyed and added.

"As long as you can learn my skills and pass them on, you can do whatever you want."

Commander Ma had long known that Zhang Lingfeng was a person who was not serious or focused in his work, and that he would only be focused and serious when cultivating the Divine Rune Cultivation Method.

Regardless, Zhang Lingfeng is indeed incredibly talented. Even without much study, he progresses very quickly. In any case, let Zhang Lingfeng train with me first.

Once things are settled, we can gradually change Zhang Lingfeng's personality.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

Zhang Lingfeng was overjoyed.

in the coming time.

Master Ma continued to run his classes, and Zhang Lingfeng, Wu Xiaomei, and even Master Yang and Master Wang continued to learn forging techniques in Master Ma's classes.

It felt like time had gone back to the past.

Zhang Lingfeng's "lying flat" value has returned to around two thousand per month.

Time flies.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lying flat value: 19880
Super Armor: (75.2/100)

Divine Power: 765.7
Soul: 40933
Basic Forging Method: (21/100)

Divine rune power: 10.0
Divine Rune Cultivation Method: (34/100)

Realm: Eighth-level True God, Second-level Blacksmith, First-level Divine Inscription Master
Zhang Lingfeng originally intended to go out for a few days and take the opportunity to use his "lying down value" to raise his cultivation level to the God-level. However, he did not expect that Commander Ma would change his usual approach and no longer insist that he become a disciple.

He can also put the "lying flat" philosophy into practice in Ma Dashuai's class and earn a considerable amount of "lying flat value".

Unconsciously.

In three months, I accumulated more than 6,000 "lying flat" points, bringing my total to nearly 20,000.

Zhang Lingfeng can break through his cultivation level at any time, enabling him to attain godhood, improve his skills, and increase the value of his divine runes.

But think about it and forget it.

Develop slowly and don't be too high-profile or attract attention.

He decided to take it step by step and gradually improve his skills.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lying flat value: 44561
My "lying down" value has increased by more than 20,000.

For over a year, his cultivation and skills had not improved. General Ma felt something was amiss, but he didn't press the matter.

At least Zhang Lingfeng remained under his watchful eye and did not go to see that divine inscription master.

It seems that the Celestial Master Zhang did not stay to teach Zhang Lingfeng. Perhaps as time passed, he forgot about Zhang Lingfeng. Zhang Lingfeng also knew that the Celestial Master Zhang had no intention of taking him as a disciple.

It would be best to follow him wholeheartedly in cultivation.

Therefore, he did not bother Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng, on the other hand, believed that he could improve his strength.

He used 4,000 "lying down" points to transform himself from an eighth-level True God to a ninth-level True God, but he did not break through to the ninth level immediately and become a powerful god.

Lying flat value: 40561
Super Armor: (85.2/100)

Divine Power: 865.7
Divine Rune: 10.0
Divine Rune Cultivation Method: (34/100)

Soul: 41231
Basic Forging Method: (21/100)

Realm: Ninth-level True God, Second-level Blacksmith, First-level Divine Inscription Master
Finally, Zhang Lingfeng became a level nine true god.

He discovered that after becoming a first-level divine rune master, his divine soul value finally changed as divine rune power appeared, but the growth was relatively slow.

According to the cultivation methods of Divine Inscription Masters, Zhang Lingfeng knew that the stronger the Divine Soul value, the more Divine Inscription power could be generated.

His own 40,000+ points of divine soul energy can generate nearly 100 points of divine rune power, which is sufficient for his needs until he perfects the divine rune cultivation method.

When he advances to become a Level 2 Divine Inscription Master, his divine soul will also grow as the number of divine inscriptions increases.

At the same time, one can also find corresponding cultivation methods to enhance one's spiritual power, allowing oneself to possess more divine rune power in the future.

In short, he is living a very comfortable life now and is not worried about encountering a cultivation bottleneck.

"You've made a breakthrough."

During the class, Ma Dashuai noticed a change in Zhang Lingfeng's aura, which had transformed from an eighth-level True God to a ninth-level True God.

Although this breakthrough took a bit longer, it was still faster than Zhang Lingfeng's previous breakthroughs.

It is still quite astonishing that someone could go from being an eighth-level True God to a ninth-level True God in just a few years.

"Yes, I managed to break through by sheer luck."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

"Cultivate diligently. Once your strength is consolidated, I will have Master Chen and the others perform a baptism for you, helping you to attain the Dao and become a god as soon as possible."

Commander Ma said.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't refuse this.

He could gain a lot of "lying down" points by fainting during the baptism, so how could he miss it?

Wu Xiaomei snorted inwardly.

During this time, he practiced diligently and his skills became stronger and stronger. Although he had not yet become a fourth-level blacksmith, he had at least consolidated his skills as a third-level blacksmith.

Recalling that day when she was misunderstood by Ma Dashuai because of Zhang Lingfeng and was slapped, she didn't dare to vent her anger on Ma Dashuai, so she could only vent her emotions on Zhang Lingfeng.

He secretly vowed to himself that he must surpass Zhang Lingfeng.

Let everyone see clearly that she is Ma Dashuai's most outstanding disciple, and only she can inherit Ma Dashuai's skills.

"father."

A month later.

Ma Fei called out to Commander Ma, who was in the forging room instructing everyone on their cultivation.

He delivered an invitation to General Ma.

General Ma knew that Ma Fei would never disturb him when he was teaching others forging techniques, unless there was an emergency.

He opened the invitation.

His expression turned serious.

Baidi City will hold a forging skills competition and invites every shop to participate.

You don't have to participate.

However, the reputation of Shenjiangpu will be affected to some extent, and people will question it.

Shenjiangpu has participated in such competitions before.

It can be said that I have participated in several sessions.

Since his father passed away, and he founded the Divine Craftsman Shop, the shop has never achieved any outstanding results in this competition.

I get crushed by my opponents every time.

This caused Ma Dashuai to be in a very bad mood.

I don't want to participate in this competition.

To avoid the competition, he even went into hiding, ostensibly to find his disciple.

He wanted to find someone to inherit his skills and hoped that someone could carry forward the Divine Craftsman Shop and gain the recognition of everyone in Baidi City.

It makes even the most formidable opponents dare not underestimate the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

Able to defeat the opponent once.

But Ma Dashuai knew that with his level four blacksmith skills, he would not be able to achieve outstanding results in this competition.

The outcome of the competition will still be suppressed by the opponent.

They will have to endure humiliation once again.

"Dad, how about we announce that we're not participating?"

Ma Fei tried.

General Ma held the invitation in his hand.

Baidi City has many blacksmith shops, but not all of them can participate in this competition. A shop must have a level four blacksmith to participate.

Everyone saw the invitation in General Ma's hand.

Master Liu, Master Yang, and Master Wang, who had been practicing their forging skills at the Divine Craftsman's Shop from the very beginning, immediately recognized who had sent the invitation.

As a blacksmith.

Whether it's Master Yang, Master Wang, Master Liu, or even Wu Xiaomei, they all hope to achieve good results in the forging competition.

It received a standing ovation.

However, whether they can participate in the forging competition depends first on whether Commander Ma is willing to participate. Only if Commander Ma is willing to participate can they follow him and participate in the competition in the name of the forgers of the Divine Craftsman Shop.

"You want to participate, right?"

General Ma asked.

"miss you!"

"Master Ma, this matter is driving me crazy. Please participate. Losing is not terrible; what's terrible is not daring to go on stage."

"Yes, Mr. Ma, you once told us that it doesn't matter if you lose to others, as long as you can beat yourself."

Master Yang, Master Wang, and Master Liu spoke in turn.

"Master, please participate! Your disciple will surely bring glory to the Divine Craftsman's Shop!"

Wu Xiaomei said.

Before even arriving in Baidi City, Commander Ma had told her about the forging tournament, and she had been itching to participate for a long time.

However, the conference is held only once in a long period of time.

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, Wu Xiaomei, like everyone else, is eager to prove herself through this forging competition and let everyone know that Ma Dashuai's decision to pass on his skills to her was the right one.

"Ling Feng, what do you think?"

Instead of answering everyone immediately, Commander Ma asked Zhang Lingfeng.

Everyone knows how much Ma Dashuai values ​​Zhang Lingfeng, and the fact that the forging class can continue to be held is mainly because of Zhang Lingfeng's existence.

Ma Dashuai would get quite excited and attentive whenever Zhang Lingfeng was in class.

Zhang Lingfeng could feel the enthusiasm and longing in everyone's eyes.

He said, "Everyone wants to participate, so why not give it a try? Maybe we can achieve good results."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Commander Ma.

"In that case, the Divine Craftsman Shop will participate in this forging competition. In addition to me, there will be three other blacksmiths who can accompany me to compete. I will select them from among you, and I will use your forging skills as the standard. I will not favor anyone."

Commander Ma said.

Everyone was in high spirits and it was difficult to refute them.

He also wanted to understand one of his own wishes. Regardless of whether he could achieve good results, he didn't want to back down from this forging competition.

Master Wang is right.

It's okay to lose to others, as long as you don't lose to yourself.

As long as you can keep surpassing yourself, that's fine.

Of course, the main reason is that he has gained another disciple.

This disciple is not Zhang Lingfeng, but Wu Xiaomei.

Wu Xiaomei formally became an apprentice.

Ma Dashuai still has high expectations for Wu Xiaomei.

Although he longed for Zhang Lingfeng to become his disciple and follow him in cultivation, he knew that forcing things wouldn't work, and with a divine rune master eyeing Zhang Lingfeng, he gave up on those fantasies.

Deep down, he still hoped that Wu Xiaomei could achieve good results in the forging competition, so that everyone would know that the Divine Craftsman Shop had a successor, and that he, Ma Dashuai, had found a successor.

Perhaps one day in the future, his apprentice will be able to win back the glory that belongs to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

"Long live Lord Ma!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

"Forging Conference, here we come."

"Haha, after waiting for so many years, it's finally here."

……

Everyone looked very happy.

Master Yang, Master Wang, and even Master Liu, among others, were overjoyed and wept tears of joy.

Although there were only four blacksmiths, including Master Ma, who could represent the Divine Craftsman Shop in the expedition, Master Yang and Master Wang were full of confidence.

At least give it your all.

"There are still five years to prepare for the forging competition. In the days to come, I will tell you what kind of divine weapons need to be forged in the forging competition, how to forge them to achieve good results, and what problems you will encounter, etc., to ensure that the masters who can participate can achieve good results."

General Ma reminded him.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

……

Everyone expressed gratitude.

The rules of the god-level continent world are extremely complex.

But every true god has a long lifespan.

Five years is but a mere five months for beings in the world above.

"In five years, I can accumulate over 100,000 yuan in 'lying flat' value."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

He found that Shenjiangpu was a really good place.

This place is the most popular in Majie.

Amidst the infighting among the outer sects and the constant shifting of various organizations, the Divine Craftsman's Shop remained steadfast. Here, he honed his forging skills and trained under Commander Ma, easily embodying the philosophy of "lying flat and doing nothing."

I can earn a little over two thousand "lying flat" points every month.

The work they do is not tiring, and there is no danger in what they do. They also have various divine stones and precious cultivation resources, so they can live a comfortable life.

This is truly a rare and precious thing.

Continue to develop in this sneaky way.

Perhaps a hundred years from now.

He would be an existence surpassing even the highest gods, and his divine rune level would also surpass Master Liu and others, becoming a level two or three divine rune master.

His forging skills could even surpass those of General Ma, and he might even become the strongest blacksmith, the strongest divine rune master, or the strongest god-level expert in White Emperor City.

The prerequisite is that you have enough time to accumulate "lying down" points, so that you can live peacefully and routinely.

There is almost no other way in the world to improve one's cultivation level so comfortably and reliably.

Time flies.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

To improve everyone's skills, Master Ma postponed many airship orders and devoted himself to training Wu Xiaomei, Master Yang, and others.

The focus was mainly on Wu Xiaomei.

While the attention given to Zhang Lingfeng hasn't decreased, it's no longer as attentive as it has been towards Wu Xiaomei.

It wasn't that Commander Ma was going back on his word, but rather that he knew that although Wu Xiaomei's aptitude was not as good as Zhang Lingfeng's, she was more willing to learn, and she was also his disciple.

With only a few years left until the forging competition, if he continues to hold back and doesn't focus his attention on Wu Xiaomei, it will be difficult for her to achieve good results.

It's one thing to embarrass yourself.

He didn't want his apprentice to lose face as well.

As for Zhang Lingfeng, if his talent is really that great, then I don't need to teach him much. He can learn just by watching from the side, and his skills can improve rapidly.

That's how it came about before.

But as several years passed, Zhang Lingfeng's progress seemed to be mainly in his cultivation level, while his skills remained largely unchanged.

Of course, becoming a level 3 blacksmith from a level 2 blacksmith is a difficult task and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Ma Dashuai told himself to relax, and that Zhang Lingfeng might break through one day without him even realizing it.
