Chapter 148: Velo and Fala: Let’s Observe Secretly
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Velo was 175 years old this year.
According to the concept of the Spirit Tribe, at this age, he was already halfway into the grave and not far from death.
Fortunately, Velo’s strength at the third level of the Body Physique Realm extended his lifespan and allowed him to maintain his peak combat strength.
Even so, Velo felt that each day was worse than the previous one.
The gray light of dawn spilled in.
Velo opened his eyes.
However, he was not as refreshed as in the morning. Instead, he felt dizzy.
He tapped his head and got up, looking around but could not find his granddaughter, Fala.
Only when he twitched his nose and caught a faint fragrance did Vilo smile slightly and walk out of the cave where he temporarily lived.
Outside the cave, he saw Fala roasting meat over a fire.
At this moment, the meat had turned golden brown. After sprinkling some special spices on it, the simple roasted meat turned into a delicacy.
“Thank you for your hard work, Fala.”
As he approached to take a piece of roasted meat, Fala quickly slapped his hand.
“Wash your hands first before eating!”
Velo smiled wryly and shook his head, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll listen to your instructions.”
It was a simple yet delicious meal.
After the meal, Fala found a place to cultivate, while Velo extended his hand.
As the Source Power surged, soon, a twisted air mass quickly rose from Velo’s hand.
The air mass gradually floated into the sky. Under Velo’s guidance, it quickly arrived in the sky above the gathering place at Nanxiang.
Velo waved his hand again.
A translucent light membrane appeared in front of him.
What was reflected in the light membrane was everything that had happened in the Nanxiang gathering place.
“Do you see that strong man?”
Fala’s pleasant voice sounded in his ears, causing Velo to frown, “You’re slacking off again!”
Fala pouted aggrievedly, “I’m just curious…”
No, she was indeed slacking off.
However, looking at his granddaughter’s pitiful expression, Velo could not bear to reprimand her.
He could only nod his head helplessly.
“Alright, let’s take a look together.”
As he spoke, he controlled the air mass and locked his gaze on the sky above Lu Ming’s house.
It was morning. After Lu Ming finished his meal, he was doing his regular training with the help of Chengcheng and Wei Lan.
Velo took a few glances and could not help but nod, “The thing about cultivation is persistence. As the saying goes, one can’t travel a thousand miles without accumulating experience. Although I don’t understand which Source Power Skill he’s cultivating, this hard work is worth affirming.”
He seemed to be commenting on Lu Ming, but he was actually criticizing Fala.
Fala also understood what Velo meant, but she just pursed her lips and ignored him.
Velo could only shake his head helplessly.
After completing the morning routine exercise, Lu Ming took a short rest and then started practicing the Knight’s Body Forging Technique.
Every move and every breath was precise.
This scene was also seen by Velo and Fala—it seemed that other than observing these new tribulation transcenders, they had nothing else to do.
When he saw Lu Ming practicing the Knight’s Body Forging Technique, Velo became interested.
He could not help but comment,
“This is the Knight Body Forging Technique.
“A relatively good body forging Source Power Skill.”
Fala, who was on the side, asked curiously, “How is it compared to our Star Spirit Body Forging Technique?”
Velo thought briefly and gave an answer, “They are about on par.
“It’s relatively difficult to cultivate our Star Spirit Body Forging Technique, but the effect is better. On the other hand, this Knight’s Body Forging Technique is easier to learn but has slightly weaker effects.
“As far as I know, the reason that big wolf bear can rival a Level 9 being with its Level 8 body might be due to the practice of the Knight’s Body Forging Technique.
“This also means that this man has just obtained this body forging technique yesterday.”
He then observed Lu Ming’s movements again.
Velo was surprised to discover that Lu Ming’s movements and rhythm when cultivating the Knight Body Forging Technique were very skillful and rhythmic. It did not seem like he had just learned the technique; it seemed more like he had immersed himself in it for a year or two.
This made Velo exclaim, “This person’s comprehension seems to be very strong…”
Fala’s thoughts were different from Velo’s.
Seeing Lu Ming cultivating seriously, Fara felt bored and could not help but yawn.
“These new generation Tribulation Transcenders are quite lucky. Having a body forging technique means that they have blasted open the door from the Mortal Realm to the Body Realm.
“Being able to obtain a body-forging technique right after entering the Black Mist Zone, it seems the legend is indeed true.”
Legend had it that every generation of Tribulation Transcenders would be blessed by the Supreme God Spirit when they first entered the Black Mist Zone.
On the side, Velo could not help but nod and pay more attention to Lu Ming.
After one complete cycle, Velo nodded, “Good comprehension, and excellent perseverance.”
He had just mastered the Body Forging Technique the day before and could execute a complete cycle today.
This was not only a manifestation of comprehension, but also a demonstration of Lu Ming’s perseverance. A normal person practicing a full cycle of the Body Forging Technique would undoubtedly be exhausted.
However, Lu Ming was not tired. In Velo’s opinion, Lu Ming must have suppressed any signs of fatigue with his extraordinary perseverance.
However, soon, Velo overturned his guess.
This was because he saw Lu Ming once again performing the starting stance of the Knight’s Body Forging Technique.
This brought a smile to Velo’s face.
“Persistence is the most precious quality on the path of cultivation. I have high hopes for this kid’s future achievements.”
He pointed at Lu Ming on the light screen and said, but he did not receive a response from Fala.
He turned to look at Fala and realized that she had already fallen asleep.
Indeed…
Lu Ming’s training was boring enough… judging by how bored Fala was, it was easy to imagine.
In the morning, Lu Ming practiced the Knight Body Forging Technique four times.
He had lunch and took an afternoon nap.
He woke up in the afternoon and continued to practice the Knight Body Forging Technique.
In the afternoon, he practiced the Knight’s Body Forging Technique a total of eight times. Then after dinner, he continued training.
In the evening, he did another eight rounds before eating and going to sleep.
For Lu Ming, this was truly an eventful day.
But for others, Lu Ming’s daily life was simply incomprehensible!
After watching Lu Ming’s activities all day, Velo and Fala fell into deep self-doubt that night.
Velo muttered to himself, “Isn’t he tired? The Body Forging Technique consumes a lot of physical energy…”
He could not imagine how someone could practice the Body Forging Technique 20 times in a day.
With Velo’s experience, he had never heard or seen anything like this.
Fala was equally at a loss.
As a free-spirited person, she could not even imagine that there could be someone so dedicated in the world…
After some thought, Fala offered a reasonable explanation.
“These tribulation transcenders have just arrived at the Black Mist Zone and saw the Body Forging Technique for the first time. They are eager to pursue strength, so it’s understandable that they began to cultivate the technique crazily.
“I think he won’t be so motivated tomorrow.”
She seemed to be talking to herself, but she was actually talking to Velo.
Velo nodded gently.
He also agreed with his granddaughter’s logic.
Third Day in the Black Mist Zone.
For regular exercises, he would add another 20 times to the Knight’s Body Forging Technique.
Lu Ming’s schedule was packed and fulfilling, making him happy throughout the day.
That day, the Knight’s Body Forging Technique proficiency increased by another 20 points, reaching the beginner level (45/100).
The Tiger Steps Stance and the Horse Resistance Stance both reached Level 35.
However, Lu Ming was unaware that Velo and Fala in the distance were already overwhelmed from observing.
When they saw Lu Ming walk into his house, Velo and Fala could not help but exchange glances.
Fala could not help but comment, “Doesn’t he ever do anything else?”
Vero opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.
In the end, all he could say was, “Let’s watch a bit more, let’s see a bit more…
“Not to mention you, I also don’t believe that there could be someone so dedicated in the world..”
