Chapter 99: Half a Year of Training, Qian Renxue Works Very Hard

Day after day of the same training, Lingxu progressed at a rapid speed, yet Qian Renxue's speed could not compare to Lingxu's.

One reason was the inherent gap in physical strength, and secondly, the two of them also started with a two-level difference in soul power.

Of course, the most important factor was that Lingxu had hundreds of people helping him improve, and among them was Qian Renxue.

Therefore, after training here for just a few days, he completed a breakthrough and increased his soul power by one level.

Subsequently, it took only a little over a month to improve by another level, reaching level 66.

As for Qian Renxue, under this high-intensity training, she also just happened to improve by one level.

In just over a month, Lingxu had already reached over 90 steps, while Qian Renxue could only reach 57 steps; at this rate, completing 333 steps in a year was truly somewhat difficult.

But regarding this, Lingxu felt not the slightest panic in his heart; with him there, Qian Renxue would certainly be able to pass.

However, this speed of Lingxu's did indeed make Qian Renxue feel a bit panicked herself.

After all, seeing Lingxu progress so quickly while she herself appeared somewhat slow.

Perhaps spurred on by this, Qian Renxue's training became even more desperate; every day, aside from training, she would go up a step to break through her own limits.

If the limit was broken, that was fine, but if she failed to break through, it would cause some damage to her body.

Fortunately, Qian Daoliu had arranged for the best healing Spirit Masters from Wuhun City to be outside, and Qian Renxue had to receive treatment once every day; the intensity of this training for Qian Renxue was extremely high.

Qian Renxue was also particularly capable of enduring hardship, and after this, her speed of progress was clearly much faster.

Just less than a month after Lingxu improved to level 66, Lingxu discovered that his soul power was about to improve again.

The training speed here was already fast enough, so Lingxu did not intend to level up for the time being, preparing to wait for Qian Renxue.

Therefore, Lingxu maintained his soul power at the peak of level 66, appearing as if he could level up at any moment.

And the soul power cultivated, along with the training effects brought by the Lingxue Sacred Land, were all used by Lingxu to improve the soul bone Golden Armor.

So in the following time, the speed at which the External Spirit Bone Golden Armor improved was particularly fast.

Basically, it improved by at least a hundred years of age every day!

Just like this, Lingxu and Qian Renxue spent half a year in this Angel Temple.

And at this time, under deliberate suppression, Lingxu's soul power had also reached level 67.

But in other aspects, the age of the Golden Armor had improved the most.

Lingxu had already improved the External Spirit Bone Golden Armor to over 37,000 years.

If it were not used to improve the External Spirit Bone Golden Armor, then during this period, Lingxu's soul power could have reached nearly level 70.

However, Lingxu did not want to raise his soul power to level 70 so early.

Spending all this half-year period improving his body and the External Spirit Bone Golden Armor actually had his own purpose.

The first was to wait for Qian Renxue; after all, the requirement of the God Trial was to accompany her.

The second was that Lingxu had asked Qian Daoliu during this time, and reaching level 70 after the God Trial could also grant one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, but those participating in the trial only had one chance to obtain such a ring.

Therefore, Lingxu wanted to exercise his body as much as possible, as long as he reached level 70 by the end of the first trial.

And then come to absorb the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring; with this ring, Lingxu's seventh Spirit Ring would be able to challenge the 100,000-year mark.

Although he had already absorbed a sixth Spirit Ring that was just over 50,000 years, absorbing a 100,000-year one at this time was still very dangerous.

Therefore, this first God Trial of the Angel God was of great help in improving his physical strength.

In these six months, Lingxu had long since reached the 135th step; as long as he took one more step, he could complete the God Trial.

But Lingxu could not take it; stepping across would be equivalent to completing the God Trial.

And Qian Renxue had been training desperately during these six months, and now she had reached the 121st step; it was just that according to this progress, sprinting to the 333rd step in the end remained very difficult.

"Brother Lingxu, pass the first God Trial; don't deliberately wait for me." Qian Renxue, looking at Lingxu who had already stayed at the 135th step for two or three months, could not help but remind him.

Lingxu also immediately responded: "Xue'er, isn't my God Trial to be with you? Therefore, I must wait for you."

"Brother Lingxu, I... I will work hard," Qian Renxue said.

Actually, for Qian Renxue, having an object to chase was good; only in this way could Qian Renxue's potential be stimulated to a greater extent.

It was just that what Qian Daoliu did not expect was that Qian Renxue could actually fall so far behind Lingxu.

It was almost not on the same level.

Qian Renxue was a peerless genius, while Lingxu seemed to have already exceeded the scope of the word "genius."

Because he had been at the 135th step, Lingxu had already finished adapting, so to continue progressing, he had to find a way.

Swish...

Coming down from the 135th step, Lingxu arrived at where Qian Daoliu was meditating not far away.

When Lingxu walked over, Qian Daoliu also opened his eyes and said: "Little Ling, is there something the matter?"

Lingxu said, "Qian Yeye, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Qian Daoliu said, "Speak, as long as it isn't asking me to help you cheat in the God Trial, anything else is fine."

"Qian Yeye, I am not gaining much from training on the 135th step anymore, and I have to wait for Xue'er to complete the God Trial together, so I want you to help me get a few sets of weighted clothing so that I can continue training on the 135th step."

"This..."

Qian Daoliu could not help but admire that the plan Lingxu proposed was a good one; even he had not thought that it could be done this way.

It was just that his amazement was not expressed.

"Little Ling, how many jin of weight do you want, and do you have any requirements for the style?" Qian Daoliu said.

Lingxu thought for a moment and said, "Qian Yeye, wait for me a moment, I will write down my requirements."

Lingxu had to design the weighted clothing himself.

And the weight had to be approached from three aspects: first, the weighted clothing; second, the type of wrist guards on the arms; and then the legs, starting from these three directions.

Then there was the weight.

For the foot position, Lingxu wanted three levels, which were 50 jin each, 100 jin for both sides. Then there were individual ones of 75 jin and 100 jin.

Lingxu also chose these three levels for the weight on the arms.

Finally, there was the clothing, which were 100 jin, 150 jin, and 200 jin respectively.

Before long, Lingxu wrote down the requirements he needed on paper, which also included the style of the clothing.

It was just that Lingxu did not know much about the materials.

When Qian Daoliu saw this weight, he was also amazed by it; if this weight were in a normal environment, it could only be said to be not bad, but on these stairs of the God Trial, it was not simple.

After all, one had already endured enough pressure on these stairs, and adding this weight meant the pressure increased by more than just a little bit.

Qian Daoliu asked with a puzzled look, "Little Ling, are you sure you want to add this much?"

Lingxu said, "Qian Yeye, let's just go with this much; if it's too little, I'm afraid it won't be enough, and if it's too much, I can just start from the first step."

"It's just that I don't know what materials should be used, but it's best if they are thin, light, and skin-tight."

Just as Lingxu was speaking, Qian Renxue also came down.

"Grandfather, I want three sets like this too!" Qian Renxue leaped down from the stairs.

"Xue'er, this is no joke, are you sure you want them too?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"Little Ling is thinking of this method because he cannot go any further, but you still have over two hundred steps above you; using this method is a bit radical."

However, Qian Renxue only shook her head and said, "Grandfather, I cannot let Brother Lingxu wait for me too long, I also want to work harder, this is not my limit yet."

With a longing look, it made both Qian Daoliu and Lingxu feel a bit heartbroken, but since Qian Renxue was willing to work hard, what else could Lingxu and Qian Daoliu say?

Qian Daoliu agreed, "Fine, I will prepare three sets for each of you; rest assured, I will definitely use the best materials, they won't be much thicker than ordinary clothes."

There are many materials on the continent where a very small piece has a great weight.

It was just that these materials were extremely expensive, but these things did not count for much in Qian Daoliu's eyes; if Lingxu and Qian Renxue wanted to use them, couldn't they just use them as they pleased?

"Grandfather, I want the same style as Brother Lingxu," Qian Renxue reminded him again.

"Fine, Grandfather will prepare them for you immediately and bring them to you within three days." After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he left!

"Brother Lingxu, I will catch up to you."

After Qian Daoliu left, Qian Renxue said with a firm look.

To be honest, Lingxu really wanted to share the effects of the Lingxue Sacred Land with Qian Renxue, but unfortunately, the system never responded, so he could not give it.

But if it weren't for the 10% effect given by the system, Lingxu might not even be as good as the current Qian Renxue.

"Brother Lingxu, how should we train next?" Qian Renxue asked.

Lingxu said, "Xue'er, in your current state, you can put on the weights to break through your limits, but it is also very oppressive to the body. You should still train according to your current method for now, and we'll see when the weighted clothing arrives."

Qian Renxue said, "Fine, I will listen to you, Brother."

"Let's go, let's continue climbing the stairs," Lingxu said.

"En."

While speaking, the two climbed the stairs again and began their respective training.

Three days of waiting allowed Lingxu to increase his soul power by another level, reaching level 68.

And Qian Renxue had now reached the peak of level 64; in fact, her training speed was not slow.

If she trained here for a full year, Qian Renxue should also be able to reach level 68, or even level 69.

This was all worth looking forward to, but it would be best to reach level 69; at that time, Qian Renxue would also be able to obtain a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.

If she reached that, then Qian Renxue might have some hope of challenging a 100,000-year Spirit Ring.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Qian Daoliu brought three sets for both Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

The weighted clothes were all inner layers; to bear the weight, they used materials from Spirit Beasts, and as for the things inside, they were very special metal materials.

This clothing looked very thin, thicker than summer clothes, and thinner than spring and autumn clothes.

"Qian Yeye, you have done this too well," Lingxu said.

Qian Daoliu said, "These few sets were not easy; ordinary people really couldn't make this metal material like this, and in the end, I had to personally assist to successfully manufacture them."

"Wearing them on your body not only has the effect of being weighted, but it can also have a defensive effect."

"The defensive effect against soul skills is not high, at most up to the Soul King level, but against ordinary attacks like swords and blades, even a Spirit Douluo would find it hard to break the defense," Qian Daoliu said.

After all, this material had to be produced by an expert like Qian Daoliu, so it was truly difficult for ordinary Spirit Masters to break the defense like that.

"In addition, these three sets can also be combined together; it should be enough for you to use."

"Thank you, Qian Yeye!"

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Lingxu and Qian Renxue spoke at the same time.

Then the two of them entered their respective rooms; Lingxu looked at the three sets of clothing and first took out the lightest one, deciding that if it were not enough, he would add more.

The clothing weighed one hundred jin, and as soon as Lingxu put it on, he felt the pressure, but given the strength of his body, it was not yet difficult.

Then there were the fifty-jin wrist guards, as well as two for his feet.

Four fifty-jin weights added up to two hundred jin, and then adding the one hundred jin of clothing, it was a total of three hundred jin, or one hundred and fifty kilograms.

In fact, this weight was still fine; one must know that in the Douluo novel, Tang San and the others, who were only Great Spirit Masters, could carry dozens of jin during training, and they were already at the Soul Emperor stage.

For Lingxu, although three hundred jin seemed high, it was actually still within his tolerance.

It was just that wearing these weights greatly compromised Lingxu's physical agility.

Therefore, Lingxu had only one goal for his training, and that was to have his speed after training be the same as it was now without any weight, while under a load of three hundred jin.

When Lingxu and Qian Renxue walked out, the ground trembled with basically every step they took.

Lingxu said, "Xue'er, after adding weight, we should also control our bodies; if we can reach the realm of handling heavy weights as if they were light, that would be perfect."

"Handling heavy weights as if they were light?" Qian Renxue fell into thought.

And when Qian Daoliu heard this, he was also very surprised; for Lingxu to know of this realm at such an age was truly not simple.

As he spoke, Lingxu walked a few steps.

He began to control his body, and although every step still landed on the ground, the tremors on the ground began to weaken.

Qian Renxue also began to do the same as Lingxu, but just from the way the two moved with the weights, it was very obvious that Qian Renxue was quite a bit behind Lingxu in handling this load.

When they arrived before the stairs again, Lingxu said, "Xue'er, with these weights, we must be even more careful; let's start from this first step and strive to break through our current stage sooner."

Thinking of this, Lingxu seemed to have overlooked a problem.

That was that he still had many medicinal herbs obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; couldn't they be used to assist his and Qian Renxue's cultivation?

Recalling the Herb Compendium, Lingxu already had an idea in his heart.

He then took out two leaves, handed one to Qian Renxue, and said, "Xue'er, keep this in your mouth; if you are about to reach your limit, swallow it."
