Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 376: Chapter 195: Non-stop Cultivation

For this demon calamity, Moshan County had been struck by a Demon Beast Tide not seen in decades. Its people were in dire straits, desperate for salvation.

The sooner the Demon-slaying Team reached Moshan County, the sooner they could begin slaying Demons and save more lives.

Moshan County’s losses would be lessened, and the Shen Family, who controlled the county, would also suffer fewer losses.

Venturing out of the city to slay Demons was like waging war: supplies had to come before soldiers.

The men of the Protectorate Army, responsible for logistics, supplies, and gathering intelligence on the Demons, had already been dispatched ahead to Moshan County.

The ones overseeing the disaster in Moshan County, Vice Director Xue Huai’an of the Demon Suppression Department and Patriarch Shen Mingyuan of the Shen Family, had also rushed ahead to Moshan County to prioritize dealing with the rampaging Tier Four Demons.

The Shen Family’s Demon-slaying Team had been delayed by two days due to the Chongyang Festival.

Thus, even though it was generally unwise for a Demon-slaying mission to rush recklessly, they now pressed on at full speed without stopping.

Normally, when traveling to Moshan County to slay Demons, the Shen Family’s Demon-slaying Team would rest at the relay stations along the main road.

This time, however, they didn’t stop, pushing onward for over a hundred li. They only stopped to rest at the foot of a hillside by the road as dusk fell.

There was no water source nearby, so the Demon-slaying Team didn’t light a fire to cook. Instead, they made do with the dry rations they carried.

The weather was hot and dry. After a full day of travel, even though they were all Martial Artists Cultivating the Martial Dao, many felt the strain. Both men and horses were clearly exhausted.

Although it was Chen Cheng’s first time traveling far from home, and despite wearing the nearly 550-pound Profound Gold Mountain Pattern Armor, he didn’t show the slightest sign of fatigue. On the contrary, he was full of energy and in high spirits.

While the others rested early, Chen Cheng took the first watch of the night. He quickly ate some Dried Demon Beast Meat and old mountain ginseng, then scrambled up a large tree on the hillside to stand guard.

This act undoubtedly earned everyone’s admiration.

Even Liu Ruofeng, who was biased against him, was greatly surprised.

As a veteran Demon Slayer and a Divine Archer, Liu Ruofeng usually took the first watch.

Deep down, Liu Ruofeng suspected Chen Cheng was merely trying to show off in front of the two Miss Shens.

More than once, using the excuse of needing to relieve himself, he secretly observed Chen Cheng.

He wanted to see if he could catch Chen Cheng slacking off and sleeping in the tree. If so, he would have a perfectly good reason to knock him down a peg.

To his great disappointment, however, Chen Cheng remained standing tall on a large branch, his breathing steady and deep, his eyes glinting with a sharp light.

The man was simply overflowing with vigor!

’So this is the legendary Fierce Ah Cheng? He really is incredible!’ Liu Ruofeng mused after his last surreptitious check around midnight.

’Honestly, even as a Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm, I couldn’t do what he’s doing.

If it were me, I’d probably have my eyes half-closed, feigning sleep to conserve energy while keeping watch.

But this Fierce Ah Cheng has maintained that state of pure vigor the entire time.

He even glanced down at me just now. His profound gaze seemed casual, but it felt like it could see right through me!’

「The moonlight was hazy.」

The air in the forest was crisp. The chirping of insects and the calls of night birds created a symphony in the quiet night.

Chen Cheng stood tall on the tree branch, hidden within the shadows of the dense leaves. The Qi Blood Power in his body circulated ceaselessly as he cultivated the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill.

In fact, he had been constantly cultivating the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill even while they were traveling during the day.

It was just like when he was on duty in Lishui District, cultivating the Iron Armor Skill while on patrol.

On this journey, with so much time spent on the road, he had even more time to cultivate the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill, and with greater focus.

[Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill Cultivation Progress Increased.]

...

[Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill Cultivation Progress Increased.]

Panel notifications appeared from time to time.

After some time, Chen Cheng stopped his cultivation and summoned his panel to check his progress.

[Skills: Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill (Small Success 798/1000)]

In just a single day, his Cultivation Progress for the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill had increased by nearly 30 points.

’In just a few more days, I should be able to cultivate the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill to the Great Success stage. That’s incredibly fast!

By then, I’ll be a Great Success Martial Artist of the Bone Forging Realm. And since my Dragon Elephant Bone Forging Technique is also at Small Success, my overall strength should far surpass other Martial Artists at the same stage.

In fact, because I cultivated the Skin Grinding and Muscle Strengthening Realms to their absolute peak, my true strength will be even greater.

I should be on par with a Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forging Realm, if not even stronger!

Even while I’m out here slaying Demons, I’m still cultivating. My Martial Dao progress never stops; it’s always increasing.

Perhaps before long, even a Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm will be no match for me!

The future is full of possibilities!

The only downside is that I’m spending so much time on the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill that I don’t have much time to cultivate my Qingfeng Saber Intent.

Since it’s quiet right now, I might as well get some practice in on my Qingfeng Saber Intent.’

After sensing the state of his Qi Blood and glancing at the others resting nearby, Chen Cheng switched to cultivating his Qingfeng Saber Intent.

The image of the Wind Chasing Youth Demon-Slaying Map appeared in his mind.

[Qingfeng Saber Intent Cultivation Progress Increased.]

...

「In the latter half of the night.」

Suddenly, a fragrant scent wafted toward him. Chen Cheng smiled as a beautiful figure leaped onto the branch to stand beside him, less than three feet away. He said to her,

"Senior Sister Qingshuang, why aren’t you resting?"

Shen Qingshuang had gone to sleep at nightfall, but she had only slept for less than two hours before getting up to practice her Green Wave Sword Technique.
