Chapter 19: Breakthrough
The system replied,
[Of course, the Chaos Body Refinement technique is better, it is the best foundational technique in existence after all, how can the shitty techniques of this Desolate Continent even be compared with it.]
At the end of its word, the system held a hint of contempt in its voice when it addressed the foundation building technique of the Desolate Continent.
Shen Yuan ignored the contemptuous voice of the system and focused on trying to learn the Chaos Body Forging technique, before this he didn't have time to learn it, but when he looked at the content of the technique in his mind, he was able to understand everything at first glance, as if he has learned it before.
This confused him greatly as he consulted with the system, 'Hey system, why do I feel that I have learned this technique before?'
The system replied in the same tone,
[When the host gets a technique from the system he automatically understands the whole technique, and only practicing it remains.]
Shen Yuan was relieved to hear that as he thought, 'Good with this whatever technique I get from the system, I only need to practice it instead of comprehending the entirety of the technique like others. I can start the breathing exercise even at this moment, alright let's do it since there are only mom and aunts here then I don't need to keep some things secret with them.'
Shen Yuan breathed deeply as he began his training, he sat down crossed-legged to practice the breathing form a bit before he truly began his training. These foundational techniques did not focus on gathering qi but instead, they try to maximize the potential of the human body.
So the Chaos Body Forging Technique was going to basically keep Shen Yuan at maximum potential the whole time he trained. As he got the hang of the breathing technique, he stood up and began his training, he did all the various poses inscribed in the technique.
Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong noticed that what he was training with was not the technique that Bing Rong gave to him seeing this, Bing Rong was about to move forward to instruct him but Shen Yuxin stopped her and sent her and Huo Rong a voice transmission, 'Don't interfere in his training, the technique might be different than the one we gave him but it is only better than it and not worse.
So let him cultivate at will.'
Huo Rong and Bing Rong got confused wondering where he got such a technique from that it was even better than one of the best techniques in all of Desolate Continent, but they were smart enough not to ask about it and just kept looking at him with pride.
After all, they were the ones who watched him grow up and now he was even learning a foundational technique that was stated to be even better than the top technique known to Desolate Continent.
Time continued to pass as Shen Yuan was cultivating for nearly one hour non-stop, most normal cultivators couldn't continue their training for 3 minutes on their first try, but from the looks of it, Shen Yuan didn't have any problem continuing even further.
Shen Yuxin and the others were both worried and proud of him, and just as Shen Yuxin was about to interrupt his training due to it being so long, they heard a low hum as Shen Yuan broke through his cultivation reaching the second level, Flesh Training.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath as he stopped his training and stood straight, looking at his mother with happiness as he went near her and said excitedly as if asking for praise, "Mom, I reached the second level of Body Forging Realm!!"
Shen Yuxin gently patted his head as she saw how excited he was, but she wrinkled her nose slightly due to the bad smell as she said, "Alright, go take a bath. Since you broke through the body refinement stage your body discharged waste from it."
Shen Yuan got embarrassed after looking at his mother and aunts evading him as he hurriedly ran towards the bathroom. Shen Yuxin shook his head as she laughed lightly. Huo Rong and Bing Rong were also laughing softly looking at the awkward expression of Shen Yuan.
But Huo Rong then spoke, "Yuan'er reached the second level in 1 hour, directly skipping the step of awakening his hidden strength." Her voice was filled with amazement as she mentioned it.
Bing Rong also nodded her head in agreement as she continued where her sister left off, "Indeed, most people took nearly a month to three months to achieve what the young master has achieved in an hour. It really makes one speechless after looking at it."
Shen Yuxin smiled proudly hearing both of them praising her son, but she looked at them sternly as she warned them, "What happened yesterday and today, don't let another soul know about it. We can't risk exposing Yuan'er to all the forces of Central Desolate so soon. He still needs time to grow up and stand on his own against the Supreme geniuses of this world."
Huo Rong and Bing Rong nodded their heads as if chickens pecking on rice. After All, they were not stupid enough to expose their dear nephew to the outside world like this.
Shen Yuxin also heaved a sigh as she thought of the future, but more than that she was worried about how Shen Yuan would face the unparalleled geniuses on his way to the top.
As Shen Yuxin was busy in her thoughts Huo Rong spoke up as she had a mischievous smile on her face, "Big Sis, I will go and wash up Shen Yuan."
Before Shen Yuxin could say anything she already run away from there, Bing Rong felt her eye twitch as she just sighed and didn't say anything. After all, she knew how her sister behaved so it was impossible to stop her antics, she just sighed and also left to do her work.
Shen Yuxin also didn't say anything as she knew Shen Yuan can take care of himself and he was not a mere child. She smiled slightly as she thought, 'Oh Huo Rong, don't burn yourself in the flame that you are setting ablaze.'
