Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 160: Chapter 124: Body Foundation Establishment! [2-in-1]

This stone blocking the door must weigh at least several hundred jin.

No wonder they say, once your body is like Vajra, you can rival those at Foundation Establishment.

With this kind of strength, which close-combat Foundation Establishment cultivator could take a punch from me?

Strength is already like this, but what about speed?

Ji Yuan came out from beneath the cliff, looked up at the ledge overhead, then bent his knees slightly, and exploded with force.

”Boom—”

The ground shuddered slightly, and Ji Yuan’s figure shot up like a cannonball. He tapped a few times against the face of the cliff and in a blink was on top of it.

Standing here, Ji Yuan shifted his heart thought, controlling the Mist Array in this area and gently dispersed some of the mist.

The mist parted, and the morning sun shone down from the horizon.

The mist, illuminated by the sunrise, seemed to become wisps of purple energy.

Ji Yuan was bare-chested, his black hair loose and flying wildly.

Looking at the scene before him, he fought the urge to let out a long howl, finally leaping straight up atop the cliff.

He didn’t use his full strength—just jumped a few dozen meters before plummeting straight down.

”Bang—”

With a huge crash, Ji Yuan pulled himself out from the earth. Staring at the wide-eyed big toad in front of him, he laughed loudly:

”Come, come, Brother Ha! Let’s have a real go today!”

Before the big toad could react, Ji Yuan had already rushed at it, fist swinging.

The toad was neither too big nor too small. Its strength, to the current Ji Yuan, wasn’t too strong or too weak either.

Perfect for getting some practice, for sharpening this suddenly boosted physique of his.

And so man and toad started brawling right there on Mist Island.

Old trees collapsed one after another, and Ji Yuan plowed deep grooves through the earth again and again.

Until half an hour passed.

Ji Yuan then crawled up from a muddy pit he’d smashed into, panting as he waved his hand: ”That’s it, that’s it, I’m done.”

The big toad, now full of battle fury, saw this and landed in front of him, no longer attacking.

Ji Yuan didn’t feel so good, and the big toad was about the same.

It was tough and strong, but slow to adapt; Ji Yuan relied on his agile moves to keep entangling it up close.

His fists, like iron hammers, rained down on its body.

So now the big toad was hurting all over, with quite a few places more than just bruised—the skin was split and the flesh torn where Ji Yuan had struck him.

Luckily, it was thick-skinned and hearty.

No big deal.

A few days of rest, and it’ll be fine.

If only there were some Spirit Pig meat to eat... then it’d heal even faster!

During the month or so while Ji Yuan was in seclusion and breaking through, the toad had digested all that Spirit Pig meat, and now its belly was empty again.

”Gwaa—”

It called after the departing Ji Yuan, its tone a little forlorn.

Back in the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan first put on his magic robe. After cleaning himself up, he felt a sense of unprecedented ease running through his body.

Especially after that all-out fight with the big toad, the former strangeness and unfamiliarity with his body had totally vanished.

Now, whether it was strength or speed, he was once again fully in control.

Just thinking about how strong he was, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Not even mentioning outsiders, even he himself hadn’t expected... that he’d really reach body Foundation Establishment one day.

Even when he went to see Isle Master Tie Chui, Ji Yuan had only thought his physique was a bit stronger—he’d never imagined his body could also reach Foundation Establishment strength.

Well then.

Now it’s great.

Ji Yuan was already fantasizing: in future fights, he’d start off with magic to face his enemies.

If magic could kill them, then he’d use magic.

If magic couldn’t get the job done, he’d get up close, and then unleash his physical power in a sudden burst—taking the enemy down in one go!

After all, something like body Foundation Establishment... who would ever expect that?

Judging from Isle Master Tie Chui’s situation, Ji Yuan figured the whole Water Dragon Sect might not have even one person with body Foundation Establishment.

Even across the whole Cangluo Continent, it was probably rare to see.

All the better—since nobody else has it, but I do.

When your enemy lacks what you have, that’s your real trump card.

This has to be kept secret. If I really use physical power to fight, I have to make sure there’s no witnesses—my body Foundation Establishment secret must never get out.

Otherwise, even a Golden Core Zhenren would probably get curious about this stuff.

Also, the Tier Two Body Technique ”Shadow Follows Form” I stumbled upon here on Mist Island—I couldn’t practice it before, but now that I’ve achieved body Foundation Establishment...

I can finally give it a shot and see if I can break through.

Once he’d figured all this out, Ji Yuan felt light as air as he left his Cave Mansion.

Since he’d already had his breakthrough, next up was to try and see whether this big toad could also make a breakthrough.

(Told you I don’t drag Chapters out! As soon as the [Pigsty] arc hit, breakthrough achieved—didn’t stall even a single one. Body Foundation Establishment, what a day for celebration! Give me a monthly ticket for this, huh? Or at least a recommendation vote.)
