Old Ent Whose Physical Body Reached Sixth Order

Chapter 3: Old Ent Whose Physical Body Reached Sixth Order

Since that day, Chen Yun seemed like a changed person, becoming increasingly silent, his eyes occasionally revealing a calmness unbefitting his age.

But the events of that day seemed to have no effect on him. He continued to train his body as always, sometimes to the point of exhaustion where he would faint, yet he would repeatedly assume cultivation postures, but still couldn't sense the existence of Battle Qi.

Am I truly a born failure? Chen Yun muttered to himself, unwilling to accept it.

He couldn't cultivate Battle Qi. Although he had known this outcome for a long time, he still held onto a sliver of hope, expecting a miracle. But reality was so cruel! When he truly experienced this feeling firsthand, a wave of helplessness couldn't help but surge within him.

Even so, he didn't give up. He believed that by continuously tempering his body and breaking through human limits, a miracle would surely happen!

Running with weights, punching wooden stakes with bare hands... he used all the training methods from his past life, plus any he could think of on this continent.

Even though his fists and palms were bloody and mangled, and his soles were covered in blisters, even though physical fatigue made him stop time and time again, he ignored it all, gritting his teeth.

All of this was witnessed by Old Ent. Old Ent's expression shifted from initial helplessness to shock, and finally to eyes full of admiration. He deeply understood the stubbornness and unyielding spirit in the depths of this child's soul.

However, a flicker of struggle also appeared in Old Ent's eyes, as if facing a difficult decision... Finally, he sighed deeply and turned his gaze to Chen Yun, who was training...

"Little Chen, stop for a moment and come inside with Grandpa. Grandpa has something to tell you!" Without waiting for Chen Yun to react, he walked into the house...

"Grandpa, what is it? Does it have to be said inside?" Chen Yun asked, following him in with a puzzled look.

A faint smile appeared on Old Ent's face. He gazed deeply into Chen Yun's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa knows your desire to become a respected powerhouse. I've seen your efforts. If there's an opportunity now, but it's extremely perilous, and even a slight mistake could cost you your life, are you willing to take it?"...

"Of course, I'm willing, Grandpa. No matter how dangerous it is, I'm willing to try, even if it costs me my life. Because I don't want to live such a pathetic life. I want to be a powerhouse, I want to change my destiny. Besides, how can one gain great power without paying a price!" Although he was confused by his usually kind and ordinary grandfather suddenly saying such things, the thought of everything he had experienced in his past and present life made him speak these passionate words without hesitation.

As if he had already expected this answer, Old Ent's face showed a satisfied smile, and he burst into laughter, making the house seem to tremble.

At this moment, Old Ent no longer looked frail and aged. Instead, he appeared vigorous and powerful. His upright posture was like a majestic, profound mountain, and the bursts of immense pressure emanating from his body made one's heart palpitate and gasp for breath!

"Grandpa? You? You are..." Chen Yun was understandably shocked by the powerful aura Old Ent exuded, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

This... this is clearly the presence of a powerhouse, how is it possible! How is this possible! Grandpa, the blacksmith who always seemed ordinary, was actually a master hiding his true strength.

Seeing the disbelief on Chen Yun's face, Old Ent's face also showed a hint of pride. But then, as if remembering something, a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes. His imposing aura vanished abruptly, and he quickly returned to his smiling demeanor. This subtle shift was naturally imperceptible to Chen Yun, who was still immersed in shock.

"Little Chen, you must have many questions in your heart right now! Hehe..." Old Ent said with a faint smile.

Chen Yun nodded vigorously, but the shock on his face had not subsided. Seeing Chen Yun's dazed expression, Old Ent kindly patted his head and led him to a small table to sit down.

"Little Chen! Grandpa has been hiding this from you all along. After all, you are still so young. I originally planned never to tell you. Grandpa hoped you would live a simple and ordinary life. But after seeing your performance and after careful consideration, I've decided to tell you." Old Ent paused here, but seeing Chen Yun's anxious eyes, he shook his head helplessly.

"That's right, Grandpa is indeed a powerful warrior!" Old Ent said with a smile.

"Really, Grandpa! What level of warrior are you?" Chen Yun asked with great admiration.

Old Ent shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Don't rush, I'll tell you slowly. Grandpa is a Sixth Order warrior, also known as an Emperor!"

"Sixth Order Emperor!" Chen Yun's eyes widened.

"Listen to me finish... Yes, it's Sixth Order, but not achieved by cultivating Battle Qi. It's the Physical Body that reached Sixth Order," Old Ent explained.

"Physical Body reached Sixth Order? Is it really possible to cultivate the Physical Body? But Grandpa, why don't you cultivate Battle Qi? Can you also not sense Battle Qi like me?" Chen Yun asked in surprise.

Old Ent gently shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa used to cultivate Battle Qi. But later, for some reason, I could no longer cultivate Battle Qi, so I thought of a way to cultivate by continuously tempering my Physical Body. I paid hundreds of times more effort and faced hundreds of times more danger than others to reach this point!"

"What reason made you unable to cultivate Battle Qi and switch to cultivating the Physical Body?" Although Old Ent lightly brushed over the turning point, Chen Yun could still feel the pain involved. For someone who could cultivate Battle Qi to suddenly be unable to do so was more painful than being born unable to sense Battle Qi like him!

"It's not time to tell you these things yet. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you. What we need to talk about now is you! Cultivating the Physical Body is hundreds of times more difficult and dangerous than cultivating Battle Qi. Only those with great perseverance can achieve it. The pain involved is unimaginable for those who haven't experienced it firsthand, because not only are the cultivation methods cruel and abnormal, but more terrifying is the soul-piercing pain during the physical transformation when advancing." As he spoke, a look of fear actually appeared on Old Ent's face.

Chen Yun saw all of this, but he had to walk this path. Only this way could he possibly change his destiny. So he said without hesitation, "Grandpa, I'm not afraid! This is the only path I can take, it's my choice!"

Old Ent looked at him meaningfully for a moment, then said with relief, "Good! Then we'll start tomorrow!"

After speaking, Old Ent got up and walked out. At this moment, Chen Yun seemed to remember something and asked Old Ent, "Then Grandpa, why would a powerhouse like you be willing to stay in such a backward village?"

Old Ent stopped abruptly, took a deep breath, and said lightly, "These are not things you need to know now. You should be preparing for your training tomorrow!" Without waiting for Chen Yun's reply, he walked out of the house.
