Chapter 201: Chapter 100 Unparalleled in the World Turtle Breath Technique! Gather Qi into Armor! (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)_7
“`
Practicing the Turtle Breath Technique underwater taxed Su Changkong’s physical stamina and True Qi far more than on land, which made him especially hungry, requiring large amounts of food to replenish his energy rapidly for growth!
“Glug glug!”
Su Changkong devoured his food like a ravenous beast, crushing and swallowing the chicken leg in his hand, bones and all, then he grabbed a water sack filled with fresh water and guzzled it down, replenishing his fluids.
With his muscular upper body bare, Su Changkong ate heartily, his refined muscles seeming to become even more defined and stronger!
“Glug glug… Usually hidden under clothes, who knew Master Su’s physique was this impressive? His muscles are like steel forged and sculpted by an artisan, simply perfect…really makes one want to grab and feel if they’re as hard as iron and stone…”
Two young Martial Artists watching Su Changkong eat in large quantities couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, their eyes wide open, unblinking.
“Alright, you two can go back first. Deliver food at the same time every day from now on,”
the voice of Su Changkong rang out.
“Yes.” Both Martial Artists snapped out of their trance, nodding respectfully in response. They could roughly guess why Su Changkong was in the midst of the sea—it was for cultivation!
No wonder at such a young age, not only was Su Changkong highly skilled in Alchemy, but he also matched up to Deputy Hall Leader level in Martial Arts, all because he spares no effort in everything he does!
The two Martial Artists rowed away, while Su Changkong remained on the food-laden boat, eating, until he consumed the equivalent portions for over twenty people, all meat, before he finally let out a satisfied sigh, feeling the hunger dissipate.
After resting on the boat for a while, Su Changkong once again jumped into the sea to begin a new round of cultivation.
“After cultivating for a few days, once I’m completely acquainted with the state of underwater cultivation, I’ll head to the seabed whirlpool to cultivate. The pressure there will be greater, which will hasten my progress,”
he mentally resolved.
Days later, Su Changkong slowly submerged from above the marine area, sensing a pulling force, the suction of the whirlpool, whose center was the calmest. That was where Su Changkong intended to cultivate!
Descending nearly two thousand meters, Su Changkong beheld the strange and awe-inspiring sight of the seabed whirlpool.
Surrounded by swirling waters, filled with the remains of fish and shards of ships, the center of the whirlpool wasn’t a recess but a protruding underwater hill around which all the water revolved!
It was like a spinning top, rotating with the push of an external force, and that torrential rain from days ago was just that force, stirring the movement of the ocean and forming this rare natural spectacle!
This underwater whirlpool would return to normal once its energy was depleted; this could take two to three months, or perhaps half a year, or even a year!
“Nature… is truly wondrous!” Su Changkong watched for a while, amazed, but did not forget that his purpose here was to cultivate.
Letting go of control over his body’s center of gravity and emptying his mind, Su Changkong’s body was immediately tugged by the force and began rotating along the periphery of the central underwater hill!
Holding his breath, he endured the force of the external water hitting against him and entered meditation to practice the Turtle Breath Technique. The turbulent currents that could tear an average person apart were used by Su Changkong as a kinetic force to break through his limits!
Gradually settling into the state, the Turtle Breathing True Qi inside Su Changkong circulated slowly but resolutely, resisting the external pressure and using it as a force to hone himself.
His Turtle Breathing True Qi became even purer and more substantial!
When he felt close to his limit, Su Changkong swam towards the surface to breathe and exchange air.
Turtle Breath Technique (8th realm Transcendental 25%)
Cultivating at the heart of this underwater whirlpool was extremely taxing and exhausting, less than what normal people could handle or withstand, but the progress it brought was greatly exaggerated. A single day of cultivation here was equivalent to nearly half a month’s arduous cultivation for Su Changkong previously, making his Turtle Breath Technique, already at the 8th realm, skyrocket in progress.
Su Changkong believed that in a few months, his Turtle Breath Technique would be able to break through yet again!
Besides, this method of pushing his body to the limit made him consume much more food than before, accelerating the progress of his Giant Whale Skill significantly!
One of the main ways to cultivate the Giant Whale Skill was by eating!
During this period of cultivation in the underwater whirlpool, without a doubt it was arduous, demanding great determination to persevere, but Su Changkong had that determination. Every day, seeing the Turtle Breath Technique improving and stepping into a new realm brought him joy.
In the blink of an eye, over three months passed in harsh cultivation, with Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique inching closer to that threshold, until it was finally broken through.
The scale of the underwater whirlpool was shrinking compared to three months ago, indicating that its energy was nearly exhausted and the whirlpool would soon disappear.
Along with the water, Su Changkong silently revolved around the underwater hill. On close inspection, one could see a layer of blue True Qi wrapped around his body like a barrier. The surrounding water could only carry him along, unable to touch him at all!
If others witnessed this substantial True Qi, they would be astounded, for ordinary Martial Artists can only concentrate their True Qi on their arms or a specific body part. How could they, like Su Changkong, cover their entire body without distinction?
