Chapter 270

On the plain training ground.

Hearing the name "Mountain Collapse," Wang Yuan's expression was a bit dazed.

It was not because he was made so disheveled by Luo Chen.

But because with his wealth of combat experience, he had actually carelessly fallen for Luo Chen's trick.

This technique is very strong!

But the restrictions on its use must also be extremely great.

Judging from Luo Chen's current level of mastery, it is far from being as simple as quickly casting a Spirit-Burning Technique.

But he is very smart, having separated and broken down this technique, combining it unknowingly.

At the very beginning, it must have been when he deliberately accumulated the Spirit-Burning Technique and then voluntarily withdrew it!

At that time, intense spiritual energy was left on the battlefield.

Using this as a lead...

Looking at the dazed Wang Yuan, Luo Chen was extremely satisfied.

In one year, he finally pushed the two first-tier techniques, Earth Mountain Technique and Wave Technique, from the master level to the Great Perfection level.

In this way, the three minor techniques that make up "Mountain Collapse," this top-tier second-tier attack technique—fireball, earth mountain, and wave—were finally balanced.

Luo Chen casting "Mountain Collapse" was also much easier than before.

Although he could not yet reach the stage of rapid release, after "Mountain Collapse" reached the master level, he vaguely grasped the essence of this attack technique.

Earth mountain focuses on suppression, waves focus on slowing down, and fireballs focus on eruption.

Combining the three, one can restrict the enemy from escaping, and under the terrifying eruption, form destructive power!

When testing the move just now.

He dismantled Mountain Collapse and released it in three steps.

Quietly and in one go!

The final effect also shone brilliantly.

"Unexpectedly, you have grown so fast." Wang Yuan recovered from his daze, his mouth filled with repeated sighs, "Thinking back to when you were still weak, I personally instructed you on how to deal with enemies by any means necessary; now, your combat skills are so exquisite that even I carelessly fell for it."

Luo Chen descended from the sky; looking down at people from above is always impolite.

"Brother Wang, you overpraise me."

Wang Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "I naturally would not speak insincere words; I could feel the unexhausted power of your move just now! If it all erupted... honestly, how much of your strength did you use just now?"

Luo Chen stretched out his right palm, with his thumb and index finger bent, making the number three.

"Three-tenths of your strength?"

Wang Yuan was truly shocked this time.

A mere three-tenths of strength forced him to use the Giant Spirit Transformation.

What if it were full strength?

Under that kind of terrifying eruption, I'm afraid even at his peak state, he would be blasted into slag!

Seeing him shocked, Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Wang, why be so surprised? If it were a real life-and-death struggle, with your ability and your personality, you could have escaped the range of the technique during my second step."

"How could there be any talk of being trapped in the bombardment later?"

Casting the second step of Mountain Collapse is when attacking Wang Yuan with the Wave Technique, forcing him to withdraw.

Wang Yuan thought about it.

If it were a real life-and-death struggle, that Wave Technique move might threaten an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it would pose no threat to him at all.

He only needed to forcibly rush over and interrupt Luo Chen's subsequent casting methods.

It was just a sparring session, and he chose to retreat to maintain his composure.

After figuring this out, he felt relieved.

But even so, he was still extremely moved.

"You kid, you are really getting more and more shrewd."

"I am the President of the Luo Tian Society who is proficient in human nature!" Luo Chen smiled, "Shall we continue?"

Wang Yuan curled his lips, took out a linen garment from his storage bag, and draped it casually over his naked body.

"Continue for what, my clothes were ruined by you."

"Heh, stripping is a man's romance! If during a battle, I strip first, who would dare to fight me for three hundred rounds? But Brother Wang, every time you fight, you ruin a piece of clothing; it's still a bit uncivilized!"

The two walked out while boasting and joking.

Wang Yuan also had something to say!

Casting Giant Spirit Transformation means the body will expand and become larger.

Dharma robes that can support this kind of huge body change are very rare.

Not only do they need materials with particularly good extensibility, but they must also be inscribed with at least a third-tier Size-at-Will Array!

And those that can be inscribed with a third-tier Size-at-Will Array are not ordinary dharma robes, but magic treasures!

He hadn't come across such good things.

Luo Chen was quite regretful that he didn't get to experience Wang Yuan's Blood God Tribulation Finger head-on.

I heard the other party is developing subsequent killer moves for this set of finger techniques.

It is based on the "Gas-Body Same Origin" cultivation technique, combined with the pure spiritual power after the fusion of clear strength and spiritual liquid.

Wang Yuan naturally wouldn't experiment on Luo Chen.

That move, he himself is still developing, and he cannot control the magnitude of the Mountain Collapse power as freely as Luo Chen.

As for the trump cards of the two?

Neither mentioned them.

That already involves the magic treasure stage.

With the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, using magic treasures is difficult to control freely.

Leaving the Discussion Platform.

Luo Chen treated him, taking Wang Yuan to Zhong Ding's house, and had a big meal!

Both are body cultivators, so they ate to their heart's content.

They ate a full five hundred spirit stones worth, comparable to low-grade Qi-Harmonizing Pills!

After spending that much, Luo Chen felt a heartache.

The last time they ate at Zhong Ding's house was when treating Old Daoist Chen at Dajiang Square.

That time it seemed to only cost fifty-something spirit stones?

This time, it cost five hundred directly; it was truly a bit of a spendthrift!

But seeing Wang Yuan eating very satisfied, with a glowing face, he didn't care anymore.

Isn't earning spirit stones meant for spending?

Besides, this meal had so many good things; after digesting it, his physique would benefit more or less.

It could be considered cultivation!

At the time of parting, Wang Yuan mentioned something.

"Sima Hui Niang seems to be reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. If she wants to advance to Foundation Establishment, you need to find someone to keep an eye on the Luo Tian Society."

After hearing this, Luo Chen's brows knitted slightly.

The time required to break through to Foundation Establishment is not long.

Generally, it takes ten-something days, or a month or so at most.

But after Foundation Establishment, the time required to consolidate the realm is relatively long.

He spent three years back then.

Duan Feng doesn't count, Elder Min Longyu spent half a year, and Wang Yuan also spent half a year.

If calculated based on the latter two.

Then the Luo Tian Society would very likely face a period of half a year without a leader.

This is not good news for the rapidly developing Luo Tian Society.

After thinking for a while, Luo Chen said slowly:

"No matter, after she reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, I will arrange everything."

One month later.

Tianlan Peak, Cave Dwelling No. C-6.

This is a medium-grade second-tier cave dwelling specially rented by Luo Chen in the name of the Luo Tian Society.

The spiritual energy concentration is between low-grade and high-grade.

Usually, it is used by Elder Min Longyu and Wang Yuan.

Duan Feng basically doesn't come over; after he and Feng Xia became dao companions, he rented a low-grade cave dwelling alone.

If they rented together, it would be very inconvenient.

As for the cost of renting a low-grade cave dwelling alone?

That bit of spirit stones means nothing to Duan Feng.

As the master of the Weapon Hall, his monthly income, even if not comparable to Luo Chen's, far exceeds that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this moment, in the empty cave dwelling, only one man and one woman were alone.

"Are your eldest brother and third brother not coming to see you?" Luo Chen asked.

Sima Hui Niang's expression was calm, "Before preparing for closed-door cultivation, I had already gathered with them, and everything that needed to be said was clearly stated."

She was very calm, far calmer than anyone Luo Chen had ever seen who was about to advance to Foundation Establishment.

Before Duan Feng's Foundation Establishment, he was full of sharp spirit.

When Wang Yuan was establishing his Foundation, he was in high spirits.

At that time, Elder Min Longyu regained his original intention, decisive and resolute.

As for Murong Qinglian, because she was looked after by Qin Liangchen, Luo Chen was not clear about her state when she went into closed-door cultivation.

However, judging from the later failure, even if her heart for Foundation Establishment was very firm at the time, she still carried more or less some worries and uneasiness.

Compared with these people, Sima Hui Niang's calmness seemed somewhat incredible.

Clearly, her aptitude was not as good as those people, and the miscellaneous matters she carried were far more than those people.

But she was just so calm, as if she didn't have much worry about whether Foundation Establishment would succeed or not.

Luo Chen hesitated a bit.

In the simulation of the Ghost God Questioning Mirror, Sima Hui Niang successfully established her Foundation.

But that memory was quite blurry.

He even felt that it was just a beautiful hope generated based on his own logical basis of wanting to shed his responsibilities.

But looking at the woman's state, he was a bit unsure.

"Are you not afraid of failure?"

Sima Hui Niang curled her lips, "What if I fail?"

Luo Chen was stunned, what if she failed?

Sima Hui Niang smiled.

"If I succeed, I am still the President of the Luo Tian Society."

"If I fail to establish my Foundation, will you, President, kill the donkey after the millstone is used and not want me anymore?"

Alright!

No wonder she was so calm.

It seems she had already seen through the days to come.

Luo Chen knew that he couldn't bear to lose such a good helper.

Regardless of whether the other party succeeds or not, there will always be a place for her in the Luo Tian Society.

Sima Hui Niang shook her head, a faint smile hanging on her lips.

"In this life, I have traveled north and south with my brothers, experienced wind and rain, and tasted ups and downs."

"I have fantasized about Foundation Establishment, and I have also worked hard."

"But I know how difficult it is for a loose cultivator to establish a Foundation."

"Therefore, hard work was just aimless hard work, and the hope was so slim."

"However!"

"As I became the President of the Luo Tian Society, matters big and small passed through my hands for summary and decision, and the Luo Tian Society developed and grew step by step. I could feel that as the Luo Tian Society grew, I was also truly moving towards success."

"When I saw Duan Feng, Wang Yuan, and the others successively establish their Foundations, I knew that it would soon be my turn."

"Today, it is just a matter of course."

"For me, Foundation Establishment should also be a matter of course!"

The woman's calm words flowed by like a babbling brook.

There were no great waves, but it was so warm and powerful.

Luo Chen knew that he didn't need to say any more encouraging words.

Exiting the cave dwelling.

Luo Chen nodded gently at her.

"When you come out of closed-door cultivation, you and I shall address each other as fellow daoists."

Sima Hui Niang pressed the switch of the Dragon-Breaking Stone, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Thump!

A dull sound rang out.

Listening to the man outside leaving, Sima Hui Niang leaned against the giant stone, whispering in her mouth.

"President, I will walk the same path as you!"

Thanks to the friend who went crazy for the 5,000 starting point coin reward.
