The Benefit of Cross-Legged Cultivation—Numb Legs!

Wang Teng suddenly understood.

No wonder this landlord treated money like dirt and did not care about an extra thousand or two in rent.

A man with eighteen demolition-compensation apartments was just that outstanding!

Just that damn awesome!

There was no arguing with that!

Though he did seem a little henpecked~

Beneath that facade of forced strength, Wang Teng saw a fragile, helpless soul that had suffered endless devastation.

Amen. A three-second moment of silence!

Looking at Wang Teng's expression, the toe-picking burly man opened his mouth.

"Brother, you do not need to say anything. I understand. I really admire men like you too. Go get... oh, no, buy some soy sauce. Sister-in-law is still waiting for you."

Wang Teng patted him on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

The toe-picking burly man opened his mouth again, but not a single word came out. In the end, he waved his hand and dejectedly headed toward the convenience store nearby—to buy soy sauce!

A real man should be like this, daring to face the Tigress at home!

Wang Teng got into the car and gave that desolate figure one last look, leaving behind a sigh that drifted away on the wind.

Wang Teng returned to school. There were still ten minutes before class began.

But he had no intention of going back to the classroom.

For him, sitting obediently in class was truly a waste of time.

There was no need to worry about Five Years Martial Arts Exam Three Years Simulation. As long as he found time to work through it every day, he would soon get full marks.

"Class Monitor, cover for me this afternoon."

Wang Teng called out to Lin Chuhan, then sauntered out of the classroom under her helpless gaze.

"That guy is so annoying. He makes me cover for him every time. If I'd known, I would have ignored him. Again and again, he just keeps pushing his luck!" Lin Chuhan could not help stamping her foot.

In truth, the teachers of every subject had always turned a blind eye to Wang Teng, this Rich Second Generation, skipping class or playing on his phone during lessons.

In the teachers' eyes, Wang Teng had always been a poor student. As long as he did not affect the other students in class, they considered themselves lucky.

The class bell rang.

The noise around the school gradually quieted down. Before long, only the teachers' lectures could be heard.

Walking along the school path, Wang Teng decided to find a place to cultivate Primal Force.

Ever since becoming a martial warrior, he had not cultivated properly even once.

Now that he had some free time, he would use it to cultivate his Primal Force techniques and see how effective they were.

There was a small grove behind the Training Field. Aside from a few delinquent students smoking there, hardly anyone ever went.

And since it was class time, there was even less chance of anyone being around.

After thinking it over, Wang Teng headed toward the grove.

From time to time, the chirping of insects and birds sounded from within the grove, making it seem especially tranquil.

Wang Teng walked deeper in for a while and spotted a large rock, just big enough for someone to sit on.

With a light leap, he landed on the rock and sat down cross-legged.

A patch of shade overhead happened to block out the blazing sun.

The temperature was still rather high, though, so he used Ice Element Source Power to form a circle of ice around himself.

The temperature immediately dropped quite a bit.

Comfortable!

Seeing that no one was around, he closed his eyes and began cultivating his Primal Force techniques.

First was the Crimson Flame Art!

Following the technique's circulation route, he drew the Fire Source Power from within his Origin Core and circulated it through his Four Limbs and Bones.

Wang Teng gradually entered a state of cultivation.

The Fire Source Power scattered throughout heaven and earth surged toward him...

According to the Crimson Flame Art, once Primal Force completed one circuit through the body along the technique's route and returned to the Origin Core, it counted as one cycle.

By now, the Fire Source Power had completed one cycle, but Wang Teng did not stop and continued cultivating.

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

An hour quickly passed!

When it came to cultivation, Wang Teng displayed a rare level of focus.

An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes. He could feel that the Fire Source Power within him had grown considerably, and he had become more proficient with the Crimson Flame Art.

His gaze fell on the Attribute Panel.

"Only one point of Fire Source Power after all that?" Wang Teng's eyes widened.

He had cultivated for a full hour and only gained one point of Fire Source Power. That speed struck him as rather unbelievable.

Normally, he relied on picking up attributes to improve himself. His strength increased absurdly fast.

Sure enough, without comparison, there was no harm!

It seemed the system had truly spoiled him.

What if one day, the system disappeared?

The thought made Wang Teng's heart tighten. He hurriedly shook his head. "No, no. I cannot rely too much on the system. I have to work hard at cultivation myself too!"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Teng's gaze became resolute.

Having figured that out, his mindset gradually returned to normal.

Then he looked further down.

Crimson Flame Art (Entry Level 5/100)—its proficiency had increased by 3 points since before.

Wang Teng nodded to himself. If he kept working hard like this, breaking through Entry Level was only a matter of time.

Once he reached the next level, his cultivation speed would definitely be faster.

Next, he continued cultivating, but gradually switched to the Profound Ice Art and the Yellow Earth Skill.

Compared with his Fire Source Power, his Ice Element Source Power and Earth Element Source Power were undoubtedly far too weak.

During last night's battle, the Ice Element Source Power had served as an unexpected trump card and played a decisive role in the fight.

So it was necessary to improve these two types of Primal Force. They could serve as trump cards in the future.

Time passed...

For the entire afternoon, Wang Teng sat motionless atop the rock, cultivating his Primal Force techniques.

When the bell signaling the end of the final afternoon class rang, he stopped cultivating.

He glanced at the Attribute Panel.

His Ice Element Source Power and Earth Element Source Power had each increased by 1.5 points.

At the same time, the proficiency of the Profound Ice Art had increased by 4 points, while that of the Yellow Earth Skill had increased by 3 points.

"Not bad gains!"

This time, Wang Teng did not think it was too little.

Mm, his mindset was very stable!

Just as he was about to get down from the rock, his legs were stiff, and he nearly fell flat on his face.

"Mother of—That scared me to death!"

He hurriedly grabbed the rock for support and caught his breath.

A martial warrior nearly falling off such a "high" rock would be a joke if word got out.

"Eggy, novels are all lies, right? Who said cultivating cross-legged was more effective? My legs are numb!"

His legs could not move at all. Wang Teng had no choice but to use his hands to pry them apart. Only after resting for quite a while could he get down and walk, grumbling endlessly to himself.

Big shots, it is time to ask for votes, tips, investments, and bookmarks again~
