New Ideas for Cultivation

Night fell like thick ink, gently enveloping Liu Family Village.

Inside Liu Feng's room, only a lone lamp gave off a faint glow, swaying softly in the darkness as though it might be swallowed by the night at any moment.

Liu Feng lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts about weight training.

The image of Rock Lee from Naruto, his body covered in weights yet still running at full speed and throwing punches, kept appearing in his mind.

With unyielding determination and grueling weighted cultivation, Rock Lee had broken through his own limits. That resilience deeply shook Liu Feng.

Then came Young Goku from Dragon Ball, naive yet full of drive, gradually growing from an immature child into a super warrior capable of saving the world. Scenes of his struggle along the Cultivation Path flooded Liu Feng's Thoughts as well.

Every difficult breakthrough seemed to be cheering Liu Feng on.

There was also Three-Sword Swordsman Liu Sauron from One Piece. To become the world's greatest swordsman, he trained with weights day after day, year after year. His persistence toward his goal and unyielding spirit earned Liu Feng's heartfelt admiration.

He also remembered the Shrek Seven Devils under Master's guidance. They had undergone weighted training as well.

Ten thousand years later, during the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, the Students of Shrek Academy ran while wearing heavy Iron Armor...

Liu Feng suddenly shook his head, feeling as though something strange had flashed through his mind.

To keep those inexplicable Thoughts from distracting him, Liu Feng forced himself to stop thinking about weight training.

His Thoughts soon drifted to the Blue Silver Grass Network.

Ever since successfully constructing this network, his cultivation speed had increased significantly, as though he had been infused with powerful momentum.

He slowly raised his Right Hand and called softly, "Blue Silver Grass!"

In an instant, Blue Silver Grass surged from his palm. Its vast, developed Root System spread in All Directions like a tightly interwoven underground web.

Not only that, the leaves and stems of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had also grown a little thicker than before. A faint sheen even glimmered on the leaves, as if they were showing off their own strength.

He could not help falling into deep thought. Aside from the obvious changes in the roots, the leaves and stems of his Martial Soul had changed as well. Was this power bestowed by the Soul Ring, or the result of his year of Arduous Cultivation with the help of the Blue Silver Grass Network?

The question kept circling in his heart, yet he could never find a definite answer.

At that thought, a trace of worry suddenly welled up in Liu Feng's heart.

He knew that on Douluo Continent, the Blue Silver Grass race could only have one Blue Silver Emperor.

Although this rule mainly applied to Soul Beast clans, no one could guarantee that it had no effect on Soul Masters.

Whether it was Ah Yin, who had once sacrificed herself to protect her beloved, or Tang San, who might appear in the future, both carried the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Could he truly compete with them?

After hunting his First Soul Ring, he had heard Passersby fervently discussing news from the Clear Sky Sect while shopping in Prosperous Dragon Town: Tang Hao, a genius who had awakened a few years ago, possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Everyone had looked on with envy and praised him endlessly.

Liu Feng thought that he and Tang Hao were about the same age. Tang Hao was already a renowned genius, while he himself was only a Level 15 Soul Master. It really was too early to think about such things. Liu Feng could not help laughing at himself.

But soon, his mood surged again.

He thought of the Blue Silver Grass Network he had built with his own hands. Though it was not powerful enough yet and could at most be considered a "little Blue Silver captain," it was still the result of his efforts through countless days and nights.

He believed that as long as he continued developing the Blue Silver Grass Network and exploring its mysteries, one day he would be able to "gather grass into squads, merge squads into generals, carve out land and crown kings, build a nation and proclaim an emperor."

"From the earth springs all things; Shennong never dies. Are generals, ministers, kings, and nobles born to their stations?"

This beautiful vision of the future rekindled the blazing light in his eyes.

He secretly clenched his fist and resolved to cultivate even harder, to turn his dreams into reality and carve out a place for himself on Douluo Continent.

Liu Feng lay on his bed, his Thoughts like a tangled mass of threads that he could not sort out.

His mind was filled with every kind of cultivation thought: Rock Lee's unyielding weighted training in Naruto, Young Goku's passionate growth as he constantly broke through his limits in Dragon Ball, and the hardships Sauron endured to fulfill his dream in One Piece. Those scenes flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Just as those chaotic Thoughts left him restless and irritated, Liu Feng got up and walked to the table. He reached for the kettle on it and Poured himself a cup of water.

He tilted back his head and drained it in one gulp. The cool liquid flowed down his throat, temporarily soothing the agitation in his heart.

After setting down the cup, he shook his head and turned to return to bed.

At that moment, an idea streaked through his mind like lightning. He instinctively tried to grasp it, but the thought was like a mischievous sprite, vanishing in an instant no matter how hard he tried to catch it.

He helplessly Sighed and returned to bed, lying down once more.

Suddenly, that fleeting idea clearly surfaced in his mind again—Sun Wukong's weighted training, and that miraculous Gravity Chamber.

Liu Feng's eyes lit up at once, and an uncontrollable surge of excitement rose within him.

He thought that if he, or someone he knew, possessed a Soul Skill capable of controlling Gravity, it would be like finding an entirely new and efficient shortcut to cultivation.

But obtaining such a Soul Skill was easier said than done. Then he began to consider whether he could attempt to create a Self-Created Soul Skill—more precisely, analyze Soul Skills.

He could conduct an in-depth analysis of certain support-type Soul Skills, then try to reproduce them, and use those analyzed Soul Skills for training in order to temper his body.

The moment this idea appeared in his mind, it quickly took root and sprouted.

Liu Feng recalled the Amplification Soul Skills, "Mountain Charging Qi" and "Galloping Horse," that Zhang Niu and Zhang Ma had used while Soul Hunting.

At the time, he had personally witnessed their strength and Speed increase astonishingly after using those Soul Skills. That shocking sight remained vivid in his memory even now.

Both Soul Skills acted directly on the body, greatly enhancing the user's Physical Quality for a short period.

If he could successfully analyze these two Soul Skills, at the very least, he would gain two powerful Amplification Soul Skills, becoming Like a Tiger Adding Wings on his Cultivation Path.

On a larger scale, he could use them to gain a deeper understanding of the principles behind Soul Skills, learn how they affected the body, and then modify them to better serve the purpose of improving Physical Quality.

The more Liu Feng thought about it, the more excited he became. He knew very well how significant stronger Physical Quality would be for him.

Once his Physical Quality improved, he would be capable of absorbing stronger Soul Rings.

Soul Ring Quality and strength directly determined the lower limit of a Soul Master's power. Possessing stronger Soul Rings meant possessing stronger skills and greater strength.

Furthermore, he currently had no Attack Soul Skill. When facing danger, good Physical Quality would give him a greater ability to Run Away and one more chance at survival.

Moreover, a person's Essence, Qi, and Spirit influenced one another. A stronger physique would naturally elevate one's spirit and bearing, which would also be of enormous help when breaking through cultivation bottlenecks in the future.

At that thought, Liu Feng could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to rush into his father's room and pour out all his ideas at once.

But he had only taken one step before stopping.

He looked at the pitch-black night Outside the Window and thought that his father had spent the entire day rushing about and was surely already exhausted and asleep. It would be better to speak tomorrow.

So he lay back down on the bed. Though his heart still burned with fervor, he forced himself to calm down, eagerly looking forward to speaking with his father tomorrow.
