Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 488: Chapter 242: The Ancestor is Acting Up

’I have a faint feeling that I’ll be able to fully comprehend the Frost Snow Realm this winter.’

’It might not compare to Junior Brother Chen, but comprehending a Realm at twenty-four is still very strong!’

’That Jiang Lang is called the number one Martial Dao practitioner of the younger generation in Linji City, and he should be twenty-eight this year!’

’At twenty-eight, he still hasn’t cultivated a Realm. He’s not even worth mentioning in front of me, Shen Qingyao!’

Shen Qingyao’s beautiful eyes shone with a peculiar light, her stunning face filled with a touch of pride!

Just then, ripples suddenly appeared in the sky above Ice Castle, spreading rapidly outwards.

Immediately, a dense, frigid aura filled the sky above the entire Shen Family residence!

The frigid aura condensed, and the sky abruptly began to rain down marble-sized pellets of snow.

Shen Qingyao’s head snapped around toward Ice Castle. She shook her head slightly and said with a soft sigh:

"Sigh... The Ancestor is acting up again!"

Ever since teaching Chen Cheng the Frost Snow Sword Technique that day, the Shen Family’s Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi, had become extremely strange!

With Shen Zhaoyi’s comprehension of the Frost Snow Realm, he could perfectly control this frigid aura and channel it into Ice Castle.

But instead, he would just randomly condense the frigid aura every time, and the condensed aura was completely uncontrollable.

It would either form a sky full of heavy snow or, like now, snow pellets that fell on the spot.

When snow filled the skies of Linji City, the snow above the Shen Family residence fell even heavier than elsewhere.

When it wasn’t snowing in Linji City, the Shen Family residence would still often be blanketed by goose-feather snow!

This situation was as if the Shen Family’s Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi, was deliberately showing off his Frost Snow Realm, regardless of the consumption of his Qi Blood Power!

But Shen Zhaoyi was already in his twilight years, his Qi and blood on the verge of decline. Doing this would undoubtedly accelerate that decline.

No one in the Shen Family, from top to bottom, understood, but no one dared to ask. They could only say, "The Ancestor is acting up!"

In the neighboring courtyard, Shen Qingshuang, who was sealed in ice, also looked toward Ice Castle and murmured, "I wonder when the Ancestor will tire of this whim!"

...

At Zheng Martial Arts Hall, rice-sized snow pellets were also falling at this moment.

"Hey! The heavy snow just stopped, why is it raining snow pellets now!"

A Hospital Martial Artist tightened his collar and quickly took shelter under the eaves of the courtyard wall.

Lately, even though he hadn’t left Zheng Martial Arts Hall, he could still feel it.

For the past few mornings, the snow falling over Zheng Martial Arts Hall seemed much heavier than elsewhere.

The Hospital Martial Artist was clearly not mistaken. The one responsible for this situation was, naturally, Chen Cheng.

He had woken up early and, as usual, flown to the roof to practice the Frost Snow Condensation Realm once!

This Frost Snow Condensation Realm condensed frigid aura, but unlike the Frost Snow Realm, it couldn’t precisely control it.

After the frigid aura condensed, it would immediately fall naturally! Didn’t that just make the snowfall over Zheng Martial Arts Hall even heavier?

Of course, as the perpetrator, Chen Cheng couldn’t be bothered with all that!

Getting up every day to practice the Frost Snow Condensation Realm a few times and raise his progress was just part of his daily Cultivation routine!

Any improvement, no matter how small, was a satisfying feeling.

’Besides, the First-level Frost and Snow Condensation Realm is pretty damn useless in a fight, but if I can deduce the Second Layer Realm, maybe it will have some tyrannical power?’

[Progress on inferring the Frost Snow Condensation Realm has increased.]

...

After a short while, seeing the sky above Zheng Martial Arts Hall completely enveloped in frigid aura and the downpour of rice-sized snow pellets growing stronger, Chen Cheng acted.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed his Great Power Realm. Heavy ripples emerged, pulling in the falling snow pellets.

The snow pellets gathered more and more, contained between his palms. As his hands slowly rotated, they coalesced into a millstone-sized ball of snow!

Chen Cheng carried the ball of snow, flew down from the roof, and entered his room.

"Time for a warm-up!"

Chen Cheng said lightly. The ball of snow in his hand suddenly burst apart, flying everywhere before swiftly smashing back toward him!

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

Countless snow pellets hammered his body, erupting in a series of soft thuds!

His skin, Major Tendons, and bones all felt waves of pain.

’The snow pellets are much more solid than before. The effect on my Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt Cultivation is more pronounced. Not bad!’

’Still, cultivating with the Iron Beads is faster!’

A faint smile appeared on Chen Cheng’s face. He immediately activated his Great Power Realm, and heavy ripples enveloped the Iron Beads scattered on the floor, smashing them against his body again and again!

The Iron Beads slammed into his body, erupting with dull thuds.

The force grew more intense with each impact, filling his skin, Major Tendons, and bones with excruciating pain.

Chen Cheng’s expression twisted from a faint smile into a ferocious grimace!

Cultivating Horizontal Cultivation Techniques like the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt was truly no easy task!

[Cultivation Progress for Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt has increased.]

...

"Whew! This Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt is really not something an ordinary person can cultivate!"

One hour later, Chen Cheng stopped his Cultivation, grimacing in pain as he muttered.

After a session of Cultivation, his entire body was covered in bruises, his Major Tendons were sore, and his bones ached faintly.

Chen Cheng put on his under-robe and controlled the Floating Light and Shadow Inner Armor to envelop his body, immediately feeling an immense weight.

This Floating Light and Shadow Inner Armor weighed 1,399 pounds, which was a little too heavy.

With such a heavy load, Chen Cheng had to constantly use his Great Power Realm to control the downward force just to move without looking awkward.

Otherwise, every step he took would probably shatter the hard bluestone slabs on the ground!

’Of course, in this slightly overloaded state, the Cultivation Progress for my Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill is increasing rapidly.’

He put on a set of simple green clothes and called up his status panel to check.

’I’ve really delayed my Cultivation Progress these past few days to forge the Floating Light and Shadow Armor.’

’But sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the chopping. Now that I’ve forged the Floating Light and Shadow Armor, my Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill can gain about thirty progress points a day.’

’In less than a year, I can cultivate this Cultivation Technique to Perfection. That’s not bad!’

’For the Cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Bone Forging Technique, I have plenty of Low Grade Bone Tempering Pills, so my progress is also extremely fast.’

’I can gain nearly a thousand progress points with each Cultivation session.’

’The only fly in the ointment is that each Cultivation session requires at least a month to completely absorb and refine the medicinal power of the Low Grade Bone Tempering Pill in my body.’

’There’s nothing to be done about it. Other Martial Artists take even longer to absorb and refine the medicinal power of Low Grade Bone Forging Elixirs when cultivating a Bone Forging Technique.’

’Even a Celestial Pride like Shen Qingyao needs three to four months to absorb and refine one Low Grade Bone Tempering Pill.’

’My Cultivation speed is already freakishly fast!’

’The improvement of my Martial Arts Realm can only be done step-by-step, seeking progress amidst stability.’

’However, there should still be a lot of room for improvement in my true combat power.’

’After cultivating the Frost Snow Condensation Realm, the inference progress for the Second Layer of the Great Power Realm has increased a lot.’

’It seems my previous guess was correct. The more Realms I master, the deeper my understanding of the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin becomes.’

’And the deeper the understanding of the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin, the easier it is to comprehend a Second Layer Realm.’

’Of course, the Realm itself also depends on compatibility.’

’For me, the fastest way to deduce the Second Layer of the Great Power Realm is to cultivate the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt and the Tendon-Separating Bone-Crushing Hand.’

’Cultivating the First Layer Realm for these two Cultivation Techniques will very likely allow me to deduce the Second Layer of the Great Power Realm.’

’Once I cultivate the Second Layer of the Great Power Realm, even if I’m only at Bone Forging Realm Perfection, I’ll be strong enough to contend with a Perfect Martial Artist of the Organ Refining Realm.’

’I’m not doing it intentionally, but I might just end up becoming the second Zheng Hun of Linji City...’

"Brother Cheng, someone from the Demon Suppression Department is here."

Mu Xiaowan’s voice interrupted Chen Cheng’s thoughts.

"Mm, I know," Chen Cheng replied, opening the door and walking out of his room.

When he arrived at the outer courtyard’s reception hall, he saw a Golden Pattern Purple-clothed Guard waiting there.
