Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 89 — Closed Exercises
"Yuan'er, this is a problem, Grandpa, hope you don't tell anyone..." Zhou Bing reminded that the Sky King Body was a secret of the Zhou Family. You could say only his family members know it at this time.
Zhou Yuan nodded, his attention still fixed on the book he had in hand. Zhou Yuan could not wait to read and study the book.
It was as if he could read the mind of his grandson Zhou Bing making an offer for Zhou Yuan to do a closed-door training.
"Closed training?"
Zhou Bing nodded. "Grandfather had been thinking about this for the past few days. Resource problems or something like that Grandpa will give you every week when you're practicing."
"But Grandpa isn't resources very expensive..." Zhou Yuan was surprised if Zhou Bing gave him resources every week.
"Just calm down, the current Zhou Family has good finances. Our cooperation with the Green Bamboo Sect has made our finances more than enough."
Of course all that was just an excuse, after knowing that his grandson had a very rare body in the martial world Zhou Bing would not hesitate to give great resources to his grandson.
After seeing Zhou Yuan's intelligence and strength all this time he could feel that his grandson's future was very bright. If coupled with sufficient resources then it is possible that Zhou Yuan will become a high-level swordsman and may even be able to carve history like Zhou Jiangnam.
Zhou Yuan was delighted, he thanked his Grandfather and promised not to let him down.
Zhou Yuan did require close training to study the book, the problem was that his training also required resources as well.

"So, I didn't expect that this father's son would be that special..." Zhou Yao stroked Zhou Yuan's head.
Zhou Yuan told his parents about the incident with his grandfather, and told them that he was going to do closed-door training. Zhou Yuan wasn't sure how long it would be there but at least for three years at the latest.
"Then practice Yuan'er, make yourself strong again..." Lin Ruyue smiled gently, she was currently holding Zhou Yuyin when Zhou Yuan informed her of his plan.
"I won't disappoint my mom and dad. Yuan will practice diligently..." Zhou Yuan smiled widely.
"That's good Yuan'er but remember don't be too hard on yourself. No one expects you to be the perfect swordsman, they just want you to do your best."
Lin Ruyue kissed her son's forehead and gave him a box of food. Once again Zhou Yuan thanked him, he said goodbye to his mother and father one last time before leaving.
"I didn't expect Yuan'er to have that legendary special body, perhaps this was why he could get stronger faster than normal people." Lin Ruyue looked at the back of her son who was getting further away.
"Are you worried about him?"
"If I'm being honest, then I'm afraid she's okay?"
Zhou Yao smiled, he understood his wife's anxiety. "Not to be afraid, I just think he became a big figure in the future. Yuan'er can definitely protect himself, his family, or even his world."
Lin Ruyue nodded. "I understand my husband, I'm just a little worried."

Zhou Bing had been waiting for his grandson in the garden in his family's residence, after seeing that Zhou Yuan had said goodbye to his parents he then took him to approach a large rock near the park.
"Grandfather, shouldn't we go to the library?" Zhou Yuan asked confusedly.
Zhou Yuan thought his closed-door training would be located in the same basement in the library but Zhou Bing said he would not train there.
"You will train in a different place Yuan'er, the place where Grandfather used to do closed-door training when he first reached the Crystal Realm."
After saying so, Zhou Bing touched the large rock in front of him and then poured the energy in the stone.
"It's..." Zhou Yuan had trouble speaking.
The stone slowly shifted and then there was a cave passage leading underground. The mouth of the cave was not too big, only the size of a grown man if it wanted to enter it.
Zhou Yuan was surprised, he had not expected at all that there was a secret room in the garden that he had always visited all this time. 'There are how many secrets in this residence actually are...'
Zhou Bing then entered the cave first while Zhou Yuan followed behind. It took a few minutes until the two reached the bottom of the underground cave.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened, after reaching the bottom of that cave, either the size or the size of the cave so widened exactly the size he visited the underground city in the competition last time the difference is only there is no city here but a large pool formed in front of him.
"This is a holy pool!" Zhou Yuan was shocked when he touched the pond.
"Oh, you know, that means you know the benefits of this sacred pool?"
Zhou Yuan nodded, the same holy pond he had encountered in the cave where the Silver Scales Snake was with Linxia. The difference is that this holy pool is larger in size.
The sacred pool has the benefit of helping to restore energy in a swordsman. The holy pool is very valuable in the martial world, it can make a region fight just to fight over it.
Zhou Yuan did not expect that the Zhou Family had a holy pond.
If Zhou Yuan practiced here then the holy pond would greatly help him if he was exhausted, let alone the holy pond had the efficacy of relaxing his body and muscles.
Zhou Bing then told Zhou Yuan some things, he would put food, resources or other at the mouth of the cave, Zhou Yuan only needed to take it up.
Zhou Yuan also did not have to worry about events in the outside world, if there was any important news or else his grandfather would have told him via letter. Zhou Bing as much as possible did not want to disturb his grandson from practicing.
"Then Grandpa will leave, if there's anything you need you can tell Grandpa right away." After saying so Zhou Bing then left, leaving Zhou Yuan who was now alone in the cave.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath then looked around the cave before looking for a comfortable seat.
"Hm, this cave is quite comfortable, it deserves to be a closed training ground..." Although inside the cave, Zhou Yuan did not feel any stifling or otherwise. The air temperature of the cave was cool, neither cold nor hot.
Zhou Yuan started to open the pages of the Heaven King Body book he was carrying. The blank sheet now began to show its letters after Zhou Yuan drained the power inside.
The initial few pages contained records of the understanding of the Sky King Body itself.
"I've guessed, this body does require enormous resources in every growth..." Zhou Yuan muttered softly as he read the book.
Zhou Yuan's breakthrough from the next level required an ever greater amount of resources. Ordinary pills would not have a significant impact on his body that had now reached the Golden Realm.
Zhou Yuan was not sure but according to his expectations, he could break back in about three to five years, and even then had to train diligently with sufficient resources.
Zhou Yuan then opened the next page, this time the man's eyes widened followed by a deep breath.
"This book is really no ordinary book, this Zhou Jiangnam is actually a swordsman like what he is..."
On the next page of the Book of the Heavenly King Body contains techniques for training physical forging. The technique taught was a high-level physical forging technique that Zhou Yuan had only met.
Zhou Jiangnam clearly wanted to teach Zhou Yuan to be a warrior like his figure, the beginning page contained the foundation basics that must be trained in becoming a swordsman that is physical forging exercises.
A warrior must have a strong physique in order to maximize every ability. Physically strong must go through a training called physical forging.
The physical forging is divided into five parts, followed by the first is the bone remodeling part, the second is the marrow cleansing, the third is the blood filtering, the fourth is the muscle change, and the last is the sharpening of the five senses.
Zhou Yuan had managed to overhaul his entire bones with the Diamond Bone Technique to reach 100% but the other physical forging parts had not reached perfect yet so Zhou Yuan's physical foundation could be said to be far from perfect.
