Chapter 670 - 621: Reaching the Peak 30 (4,000 words)_3
But at this moment, seeing Tan Shuangshuang and witnessing her ability to challenge the Hurricane Body Refining that only half-step Great Martial Masters can endure at the Warrior Level, these people’s thoughts have shifted. This is no longer the boast of the Tan Family but a low-key assertion of fact. How can this be just talent? It’s nothing short of demonic talent! It’s exceedingly discouraging!
Tan Shuangshuang is unaware of the impact she has on others; her entire focus is currently on cultivation. Every day, she and Fei Hu arrive at Hurricane Valley before dawn to endure the hurricane’s tempering, and they only return to the safe point late at night, training diligently from dusk till dawn, with great perseverance.
Tan Shuangshuang’s performance has made those who thought her high cultivation was purely due to talent realize that even if they believe their own talent is not inferior, they suddenly respect her. Because Tan Shuangshuang’s diligence is something they cannot match.
Although cultivation in Hurricane Valley is simple, it is extraordinarily painful. The hurricane beating against the body brings greater pain as the refinement effect improves. For someone like Tan Shuangshuang, a day’s cultivation equates to being violently beaten by countless half-step Great Martial Masters all day; the pain is unimaginable!
Even those skilled in body cultivation are not all able to endure such a painful cultivation method. Many people only practice here for half the day, with few managing to persevere for more than half a day, and even fewer persisting for the entire day. Tan Shuangshuang is the only one who has adhered from dawn to dusk.
Tan Shuangshuang’s dedication has convinced those who felt discontent. With such extraordinary talent and yet more diligent than anyone else in cultivation, if she were not strong, who could be? Even if her talent were ordinary, her will alone would lead her ahead of everyone, for the simple reason that she is diligent enough.
Everyone admired Tan Shuangshuang’s commitment, while Tan Shuangshuang was surprised that Fei Hu did not complain and trained alongside her. Only through experience does one realize how painful and tough this cultivation is. Tan Shuangshuang had been worried that the pampered Fei Hu would not withstand this hardship.
Tan Shuangshuang had even planned how to comfort Fei Hu if it couldn’t take it, hoping to persuade it to hang on. Unexpectedly, Fei Hu’s resilience was so commendable that it persisted alongside her, not missing a single moment.
Tan Shuangshuang and Fei Hu’s diligent training paid off. After a month of such rigorous cultivation, Tan Shuangshuang successfully broke through to the level of a half-step Martial Master, just one step away from breaking through to the Martial Master Realm.
Compared to Tan Shuangshuang, Fei Hu’s outcome was not inferior; it was already a Level 9 Magical Beast, just one step away from becoming a Level 10 Magical Beast, equivalent to a Martial Master. However, breaking through to Level 10 would be relatively easy for Fei Hu.
Magical beasts, from levels one to fifteen, almost face no barriers; they can upgrade as long as spiritual power is accumulated and compressed enough, different from humans who have great realms as barriers to breakthrough. Only upon reaching the Beast General level do magical beasts face minor realm upgrades and great realm barriers like human cultivators.
Possibly reaching a critical point, Tan Shuangshuang and Fei Hu’s training showed no progress these days, remaining at a standstill. Tan Shuangshuang suspected that the hurricane’s intensity at this location was no longer sufficient to assist her and Fei Hu in body refinement.
In order to intensify their training, Tan Shuangshuang decided to lead Fei Hu deeper into the valley. When others saw Tan Shuangshuang moving inward with Fei Hu, the cultivators in Hurricane Valley were quite calm.
They had been shocked countless times by Tan Shuangshuang’s dedication and cultivation speed, so seeing Tan Shuangshuang venturing inward did not surprise them; the world of demonic genius is beyond their understanding.
Others merely watched Tan Shuangshuang advance with Fei Hu, oblivious to the fact that this pair’s journey wasn’t easy. At first, they progressed with some ease, but soon Tan Shuangshuang found her advance becoming difficult.
When movement becomes challenging, it signifies this area is suitable for refining, and the refinement effect is relatively moderate because the body’s capacity for endurance is still considerable.
However, Tan Shuangshuang felt the effect was lacking and desired direct exposure to the hurricane refinement of the Martial Master Level. Thus, she continued advancing arduously with Fei Hu, but with every step forward, countless hurricanes surged, trying to push her back to her starting point.
Tan Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, her feet gripping the ground firmly to prevent herself from being swept away. Despite this, with every step she took, she was pushed back half a step, leaving a deep groove on the ground, while simultaneously enduring even more painful hurricane refinement.
