Martial World's
Ch 75 - Gambling Match Day
Lin Ming simultaneously controlled the strength of his arms and also twisted his true essence to withstand the coldness of the bone-chilling waterfall. Even if he had a 'True Primal Chaos Formula' backing him up, it was not something he could support!
His arm started to shiver and blue veins started to become clearly visible in his forearm. After half an incense stick of time, there was a blunt bang as the tip of Penetrating Rainbow's spear hit the rock, finally being pushed down by the endless waterfall. Lin Ming half-kneeled on the stone, panting in a huge gulp. He felt as if those two lifeless arms were no longer his. He tried to stand up, but found that the true essence in his body had been mostly consumed.
"Sweals!" The waterfall cascaded down the rock and swept it away. He raised his spear and pierced the stone, steadying his body in the water.
“About a quarter of an hour. That seems to be my limit. Too bad, if I have a true essence stone, I will be fine. I can quickly recover my true essence and continue the practice. My gambling match with Zhang Cang is getting closer. Even if I win his true essence stone, I can only use it for a while until the stone is gone. After that I should try to find a solution for this.”
…
Time passes day by day. Lin Ming practiced his spear for two hours every day at the Icy Pond Waterfall. While practicing the spear, he also softened his body at the same time. The efficacy of the Golden Snake Scarlet Pill had been fully absorbed by him eventually. Although Lin Ming's cultivation had stopped at the initial Third Stage of Body Transformation, he had completely consolidated this stage.
After eight days had passed, Lin Ming had spent the 16 hours of practice time he had saved. On the last day, Lin Ming had already been able to carry the Penetrating Rainbow and stand under the waterfall with one breath for one hour. From the start, his long spear barely moved, but only half an hour later there would be a small vibration.
After that, two days passed. It had been exactly one month since Lin Ming arrived at the Seven Profound Martial House. Lin Ming got out of bed early as usual. He stood before the wooden door of his residence in the shade of a century-old tree canopy. He grasped the spear, Penetrating Rainbow, in his hand and spread both of his hands in front of himself while holding it. Like this, he held 820 jin completely and evenly perpendicular to his body.
At the tip of Penetrating Rainbow's spear, he had placed down a small porcelain bowl. This bowl is filled to the brim with water. Under Lin Ming's deep and steady strength, this bowl of water did not even lose a single bit of water. It was as if it was placed on a flat table.
Since he had spent the rest of the hours he could use the seven main killing arrays, and could not go to the Icy Pond Waterfall, Lin Ming had trained with this self-made method.
Lin Ming practiced until almost noon. He ate a very simple meal and rested for a while, then he brought Penetrating Rainbow and headed straight for the Seven Profound Martial House martial stage. Today was the day he held a gambling match with Zhang Cang …
………
Even though it had entered autumn, the midday sun was scorching very hot. This is the time where the energy is thickest in the air. The scariest rays of the roasting sun are at three quarters to noon. The average person usually chooses not to go out at this time, and instead stays at home and naps. However, now at the Seven Profound Martial House martial stage was actually gathering a large crowd of people.
Most of these people were disciples of the Earth Hall and the Seven Profound Martial House Human Hall. There were also some disciples from the Heavenly Abode who had arrived. Although the current sunlight was extremely hot, the faces of these people did not have the slightest bit of sweat. It was as if the sky was clear and they were casually looking around with an unconfused appearance. Obviously none of these disciples were mediocre.
Today was the day that the four people, Lin Ming, Zhang Cang, Wang Yanfeng, and Liu Mingxiang, held their gambling matches. In this group of four, two of them were the first and second place of the new disciples who had taken the entrance examination, and the other two were strong old disciples. This action was enough to arouse the attention and interest of many disciples in the Seven Profound Martial House.
The disciples of the Human Hall came to see liveliness and have fun, but the disciples of the Earth Hall and Heavenly Abode came to see their future rivals. Whether it was Lin Ming or Wang Yanfeng, their rankings later would definitely go up. Even a disciple from the Heavenly Abode would not look down on them. Of course, that's a problem later. Right now, their strength is still in its infancy.
"There's not much tension in the outcome of this match. In the past battles that were followed by the new disciples, the newbies had almost never won against the old disciples, let alone this time; they were against Liu Mingxiang and Zhang Cang who were both experts. Lin Ming and Wang Yanfeng really had no hope at all.” A disciple from the Heavenly Abode slowly said as he looked at the sundial near the martial stage.
“You think Liu Mingxiang will lose to Lin Ming? Come on, Lin Ming's talent is limited. Even though he managed to obtain a high rank in the Ten Thousand Killing Array, he was still far from Liu Mingxiang. He might have taken two high-quality pills that were rewarded from the entrance examination and absorbed some of the effects, but did you think that in a month he would be able to overtake Liu Mingxiang?
"Talent? You just stared at Lin Ming's talent? No matter what kind of fortuitous encounter Lin Ming had, or what precious pills or herbs or medicines he had, the disputes he had been able to manifest so far completely ignored his talent. Those who look down on him just because of his talent will suffer a loss!” A disciple from the Heavenly Abode resolutely said.
“Hehe, you really thought of that Lin Ming. The last time I went to storage, I specifically noticed the cultivation method that Lin Ming had chosen ... '' The disciples of the Earth Hall purposely dragged his tone as he saw how much attention he drew, This Lin Ming chose the cultivation method for the 'Foundation Spear Technique' and 'Foundation Movement Technique'. He also had some incomplete 'Body Tearing Bone Shattering Fist' martial skills that he took. With just this, how much progress could he have with just one month? Before this, he could obtain rank 126 because he drank the rare and precious pills Crimson Gold Dragon Marrow and Golden Snake Scarlet Pill simultaneously. Even a pig will find that its cultivation is increasing. Lin Ming's talent was limited. He could not practice high-level cultivation methods and martial skills. Depending on these two basic manuals, on what basis could he surpass Liu Mingxiang? ”
Lin Ming had stirred up a ruckus in the Ten Thousand Killing Array, so it was very easy for him to arouse the interest of the other Martial House disciples. Many people had seen the cultivation method that Lin Ming had chosen. It was very straightforward; his name was the only one on the jade slip note, and those who wanted to see could see it.
"What's? 'Foundation Spear Technique' and 'Foundation Movement Technique'? Lin Ming chose both? How could such a cultivation method possess such overwhelming strength? I thought for sure he would choose something like 'Shadowless Art' or 'Nine Absolute' and so on.”.
“Ha, 'Shadowless Art'? 'The Nine Absolute'? That cultivation method is certainly good, but do you think ordinary people can cultivate? Have you forgotten Lin Ming's talent? I think the person's perception was also limited; all he knew was his own knowledge, therefore he chose these two simple skill sets to learn. Wait and see, this rising circle of Lin Ming light will be lowered!” The grinning tone and expression of the disciple indicated that he was enjoying Lin Ming's misfortune. Lin Ming had only been at the Seven Profound Martial House for a short time, yet his rank was already ahead of this man. This really made him feel pain in his heart.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the ground. A group of people who were far apart to make way. Two men, both about 20 years old, walked side by side.
One of the two was a thin man and looked pale. His facial expression was cold and firm. A heavy black sword was strapped to his back. Even though he was just walking, his entire demeanor looked like a razor. He was like a cold treasure sword that had been pulled out. It actually gave those around him a depressed feeling as he walked past them.
The other man was sturdy and tall, with an expression full of vigor. His entire body was woven with thick muscles, and he carried an eight-foot-long dark purple stick on his back. Every step this person took was steady and silent. If each tread is measured, it will be found that the distance between each two steps is completely consistent. That's six feet each time, no more and no less! This was the result of cultivating the top movement technique from the storage of the Seven Profound Martial House, 'Six Foot Step'!
"Ling Sen!"
“Ta Ku!”
"These two people also came to watch the match!"
Among those who had come to watch the gambling match, most were disciples of the Earth Hall. The disciples from the Heavenly Abode had come, but most of them were around rank 50 and 60. This was around the end of the Heavenly Residence rank. They were out of fear that they would be pushed by people in today's game, so they came to see the situation.
But Ling Sen and Ta Ku were the top two unshakable existences in the Ranking Stone. They also came to see the Earth Hall's internal gambling match?
