Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen walked out of the affairs hall. The breeze was blowing on his face and the sun was shining brightly. He felt that everything was so beautiful.

He came to the Good Merit Pavilion where the spirit stones were collected and handed the jade pendant to the uncle who was in charge of distributing the spirit stones. After the steward checked it and found nothing wrong, he handed 20 low-grade spirit stones to Zhang Chen.

He also told Zhang Chen that after receiving the spirit stones, he should start taking on sect tasks and make contributions to the sect. With contribution points, he could go to the Medicine Pavilion, Spirit Weapon Pavilion, Martial Arts Pavilion, etc. to exchange for items of equal value.

Zhang Chen walked back to his residence without realizing it.

He came to the room and practiced cross-legged, his mind full of thoughts. He had lost the last two competitions. Although his opponents were strong, he had no defensive power, which made Zhang Chen very uneasy. Especially when he thought about the tasks he might have to complete later.

He quickly took out the jade slip with the body technique engraved on it and read it. After reading it, he found that the body technique was more difficult to practice than the spell, and the meridians controlled were more numerous and more complicated. The operation of the body technique involved the movement of almost the whole body.

A day later, Zhang Chen used his spiritual energy to correctly walk the route of the body movement. He was still far from being familiar with it.

"It's so difficult. My body movements are hard to train, and my spells can't hit my opponents." Zhang Chen's face was filled with worry and he was irritable.

I walked out the door, looked around and relaxed, and when I reached Sima Feng's door, I heard shouting and continuous banging sounds from inside.

"Senior Brother Sima is really hardworking. Let's go in and take a look." Zhang Chen was deeply moved. He knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Sima Feng, with his upper body naked, stood between two suspended huge trees. He punched one of the trees, then turned around and punched the other tree again. The two trees were knocked two meters away and then turned back, hitting his chest and back with two loud bangs.

Zhang Chen's forehead scalp throbbed when he saw this. This kind of training was really too cruel. Only Sima Feng could persist.

"You're here." Sima Feng stopped exercising, panting, wiped the sweat off his face, walked to the pool next to him and drank water in big gulps.

Zhang Chen looked at the large red marks on Sima Feng's chest and back, and the broken skin on his fingers was bleeding. Thinking of his own irritable thoughts just now, he felt ashamed.

"Brother Sima, have you made any progress in your training recently?"

"The progress is slow, but I have some ideas and I'm going to give it a try. It's a good thing that you're here, so please give me some advice." Sima Feng walked over and asked Zhang Chen to sit on the stone pier in the yard.

"What's your idea?" Zhang Chen sat down on a stone block next to Sima Feng.

"I asked the uncle who examined my body before, and he said that I can absorb spiritual energy, but my meridians are blocked and my Dantian is not open. Most of the spiritual energy absorbed into my body dissipates, and only a small part is absorbed by my muscles and bones. So I wonder if I can increase the absorption of spiritual energy by my muscles, internal organs, limbs and bones. Can I make further progress?"

Sima Feng expressed all his thoughts and looked at Zhang Chen.

"It sounds like there is no problem. The key is how to increase the body's absorption of spiritual energy. Only when the spiritual energy is gathered into the Dantian and refined in the Dantian can it be freely manipulated." Zhang Chen thought for a moment and expressed his doubts.

"I heard that I can set up a formation to divide a space to isolate the dissipation of spiritual energy, and then use spiritual stones to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in it. When I train in it, I can naturally increase the absorption of spiritual energy."

Sima Feng was very excited and expressed his ideas.

"It sounds like it should be feasible. It's like exercising in the secular world is definitely not as useful as exercising in a sect. Because the sect is full of spiritual energy, it will slowly change our physical constitution."

"Okay, I'll go ask now."

Sima Feng did what he said and went out immediately.

Zhang Chen also went back to continue practicing his physical skills.

After a week, Zhang Chen became very familiar with the circulation of his meridians and was ready to try out the body techniques.

Zhang Chen circulated his body skills, and spiritual energy continued to flow through his meridians. According to a certain pattern, it slowly gathered on his legs and soles of his feet. There was a loud bang, and Zhang Chen involuntarily went forward and hit the wall with a bang. If Zhang Chen had not blocked his head with his hands at the end, he would have been knocked unconscious there.

"Too much spiritual energy was input, and the control was not correct. I couldn't handle the sudden force, which caused me to lose my balance."

Zhang Chen kept analyzing his own problems. He took out the jade slip and read it word by word, fearing that he might have misunderstood something and thus made mistakes in his cultivation.

After another week, Zhang Chen practiced the technique, and spiritual power was output through the acupoints, forming a transparent film on Zhang Chen's back, lower back, back legs, and soles. The spiritual energy in the film exploded, compressing the air in the middle. Relying on this huge thrust, Zhang Chen instantly leaped forward five meters.

"I finally managed to use it. I should be able to master it after a few days of practice. When combined with my Golden Light Slash, I should be able to catch my opponent off guard."

Another week later, Zhang Chen placed five more stones in the yard. Zhang Chen stood in front of the stones, practiced his body skills, and the spiritual energy around him vibrated. He instantly appeared on the left side of the stones. Then two golden needles shot at the first stone. After the spiritual energy vibrated again, Zhang Chen appeared behind the stones. Two daggers shot at the second stone. The spiritual energy vibrated again, and a golden needle and a dagger appeared on the right side of the stone. They shot at the third stone. Then he appeared in front of the stone. Two golden needles, one on the left and one on the right, shot at the fourth and fifth stones.

Zhang Chen stopped to check the stone. Every attack hit the stone. Zhang Chen was very satisfied. He felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian was almost empty. This kind of physical exercise consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged and began to practice, absorbing spiritual energy to replenish his dantian, then took out the jade slip engraved with the water binding technique and began to study it.

After studying the jade slip, Zhang Chen felt that the spiritual energy in his body had not increased much. Now Zhang Chen practiced very economically. At present, Zhang Chen had ten spiritual stones left, and only five soul-restoring pills. Zhang Chen was reluctant to use them again, and wanted to prepare for a rainy day.

"My monthly salary will be paid in a few days, so I should make a concerted effort to learn the water binding technique." Zhang Chen took out a spirit stone and started absorbing it.

Two days later, a ball of water appeared in Zhang Chen's hand. Zhang Chen shot it at the stone in front of him. After hitting the stone, the water ball firmly wrapped the stone inside. Zhang Chen walked over and put his hand into the water ball. He found that the water ball had a lot of pressure. Zhang Chen used a lot of force to penetrate it. If a person is trapped, it will definitely greatly affect his ability to move.

Zhang Chen continued to practice his skills, and another water ring appeared on his hand. He moved it towards the stone, and the stone was firmly locked.

"This water binding technique is not that difficult to learn."

Zhang Chen cast another water wall and threw the stone over, trapping it in the middle.

"This can also be used as a defense, to block others, and to protect myself," Zhang Chen thought for a moment.

Suddenly, Zhang Chen had an idea in his mind. A water ball condensed in his right hand, and then he condensed a water line. One end was put on his wrist and the other end was connected to the water ball. He shot the water ball out, and with the help of the water line, the water ball changed its direction.

"It's feasible." Zhang Chen was pleasantly surprised and had a good idea.

Five days later, it was time to collect the monthly salary. Zhang Chen received his salary and was on his way back.

"It's been so many days, it's time to go see how Senior Brother Sima is doing. I wonder how his training is going." Zhang Chen stood up, stretched his arms and legs, and went out.

Arriving at Sima Feng's door, the shouting and banging sounds continued, and Zhang Chen pushed the door open and walked in.

Immediately, he saw a transparent circle with a diameter of five meters in the yard. Sima Feng was training inside. Zhang Chen stood outside the circle and talked to Sima Feng.

"Brother Sima, how do you feel? Is there any effect?"

"It's effective. I feel my physical fitness has improved a little." Sima Feng panted and continued exercising.

Zhang Chen nodded and said:

"Senior Brother Sima, let's train first. I want to see how much your strength has increased." Zhang Chen looked at Sima Feng with confidence.

"Hmm? It seems that your practice has improved again."

Sima Feng stopped exercising, walked out of the formation, and looked at Zhang Chen with a little surprise.

"Brother Sima, are you ready?"

Zhang Chen walked into the yard and got ready.

"bring it on"

Sima Feng walked directly to Zhang Chen and watched his every move.

Zhang Chen used his skills and two golden needles flew out of his hand and hit Sima Feng directly.

Sima Feng dodged slightly to the side and stared at Zhang Chen, knowing that he would not be that simple.

Zhang Chen saw Sima Feng standing still, knowing that he was waiting for his next move. He condensed two more water balls and hit Sima Feng.

When Sima Feng saw the water ball coming, and it was still half a meter away from him, he gently dodged it sideways, very calmly. It was very easy for him to dodge at this speed.

"This is all you have learned? That's not enough," Sima Feng said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen didn't say anything, but suddenly the spiritual energy around him fluctuated, and he instantly moved five meters to the upper left corner. Then he immediately shot two golden needles at Sima Feng.

Sima Feng quickly took a step back, just as the golden needle flew past his face.

"This move is unexpected and quite interesting." Sima Feng turned around and looked at Zhang Chen on the right and said.

Zhang Chen continued to condense golden needles and shot them at Sima Feng up, down, left and right, and then condensed two water rings towards Sima Feng.

Sima Feng stomped his foot and jumped three meters to the left. He half-crouched, looked at Zhang Chen, and suddenly exerted force and came straight towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at Sima Feng who was approaching at a very fast speed and seemed a little panicked. He shot out two water balls and pretended to dodge to the left.

Sima Feng didn't care and dodged to the left. From the corner of his eye, he saw a nearly transparent water line at the tail of the water ball that passed by him. He tilted his head slightly to observe carefully and found that there was also a water line behind another water ball, and his heart immediately tightened.

The two water balls that passed by suddenly turned and hit Sima Feng's back. The water balls melted into pancakes and stuck to Sima Feng's back. Sima Feng immediately felt that there was a few hundred kilograms of weight on his back, and his forward posture paused, and his speed immediately slowed down.

After controlling the two water balls to turn, Zhang Chen immediately cut off the water line. His whole body was filled with spiritual energy, and he instantly appeared two meters in front of Sima Feng, condensing two water balls to hit Sima Feng's legs.

Sima Feng felt bad after being hit in the back. He knew Zhang Chen would not miss this opportunity, so he dodged to the right like a conditioned reflex, but it was still a step too late. When Zhang Chen hit his left leg with a water ball, his left leg immediately seemed to be hung by a few hundred kilograms of things, and his body trembled again as he dodged to the right.

Water balls continued to appear in Zhang Chen's hand and hit Sima Feng's other leg.

Seeing this, Sima Feng stomped his feet with all his strength, rushed towards Zhang Chen, and clenched his left fist, hoping to turn the tide with one blow.

Zhang Chen's spiritual energy fluctuated throughout his body, and he moved his body skills and appeared on Sima Feng's left side. Two balls of water were shot out, hitting Sima Feng's left hand and left waist, and Sima Feng suddenly found it very difficult to turn around.

"Senior Brother Sima, you lost." Zhang Chen stopped attacking and looked at Sima Feng excitedly.

"Junior Brother Zhang, it's true that when you've been away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes." Sima Feng also smiled slightly. He was happy for Zhang Chen.
