Pulse of the Earth

Zhao Nan pondered in his heart the differences between the Profundity of Wind Laws and the Profundity of Earth Laws, as well as the connections between the two.

After a long while, Zhao Nan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, settled his mind, and prepared to start his journey into the Earth Laws by first mastering the Profundity of Earth Element.

With a goal in mind, Zhao Nan began to practice the Earth Spike Technique incessantly.

That's right, Zhao Nan intended to replicate the same process he had used to research the Wind Element Laws.

Perhaps it was because Zhao Nan had a strong affinity for the earth element, or perhaps it was because he had already grasped the Profundity of Wind Element, but he comprehended the Earth Element quite quickly. In just eight short days, Zhao Nan had already grasped the Profundity of Earth Element.

After researching the Profundity of Earth Element, Zhao Nan began to study the Profundity of Gravity Space.

After all, having already grasped the Profundity of Wind Space, there were some commonalities between it and the Profundity of Gravity Space.

However, while researching this Profundity of Gravity Space, Zhao Nan truly felt what it meant for a profundity to be deep and abstruse.

Although he possessed the Gravity Spell from earth-style magic and had some insights from the Profundity of Wind Space, after more than ten days of contemplation, Zhao Nan still hadn't grasped even a shred of it.

Seeing this, Zhao Nan stopped his attempts to comprehend the gravity space and instead turned his thoughts toward the Pulse of the Earth, a profundity that Linley had initially grasped.

Anyone who has read the original work knows very well that this Pulse of the Earth is much like the "hidden force" found in the novels of his past life.

Except, this hidden force was not just one wave, but many.

After shifting his goal, Zhao Nan began to follow Linley's path, starting to comprehend this profundity through the way of a warrior.

In the original work, Linley cultivated the Pulse of the Earth because of the records contained within his family's Dragonblood Secret Codex.

It was divided into three levels: the first step was to bring the basics of one's weapon to a perfect realm, the second step was Weight as Light as a Feather, and the third step was the realm known as Momentum.

With a clear direction for his cultivation, Zhao Nan immediately took out the weapon provided by the system from his Space Ring.

The set of equipment provided by the system, which could grow alongside his realm, included a suit of armor, a helmet, boots, a belt, a weapon, a soul-defending necklace, and a Space Ring.

However, unlike other equipment in the Panlong Plane, the gear provided by the system could change its appearance.

For instance, the armor could transform into a mage's robe, yet even after changing its appearance, its defensive essence remained extraordinary.

The weapon was the same.

This weapon could transform into a magic staff, a thin sword, a heavy sword, a long saber, or other various forms, while also allowing for the customization of its weight and style.

Although Zhao Nan did not understand the extraordinary nature of this equipment, he knew how important it was.

After taking out the weapon, Zhao Nan began to set its style and weight.

Currently, Zhao Nan was only at the level of a seventh-rank warrior. Even though he had reached the realm of a Saint-level mage and relied on the magic elements between heaven and earth to temper his body, he still did not possess the formidable physique of Linley from the original work.

Therefore, Zhao Nan set the weapon to the style of the Dark Iron Heavy Sword used by Dugu Qiubai in Jin Yong's The Return of the Condor Heroes from his past life, and set the weight to six hundred and fifty jin.

Naturally, this sword of Zhao Nan's could not compare to Linley's heavy sword; one must know that Linley's heavy sword weighed three thousand six hundred jin and was one point four one meters long.

However, Zhao Nan did not care about that. After setting the weight, he took it in his hand and felt it. He found that it was within his range of endurance; although it was a bit heavy, it was just right for him to comprehend the realm of Weight as Light as a Feather.

After setting his weapon, Zhao Nan looked at Ace, who was currently watching him with a dazed and cute expression. He couldn't help but smile, then took out his weapon to carve a wooden sword for Ace before starting to prepare lunch.

After eating lunch, Zhao Nan first coaxed Ace to sleep, then began to practice the various basic sword techniques he had trained in since childhood, bit by bit.

With the support of his immense soul power, Zhao Nan was very clear about the problems in each of his practice sessions.

Practice after practice, correction after correction, he ensured that each time was a little bit better than the last.

When Ace woke up from his nap, Zhao Nan taught Ace the basic sword techniques, one move at a time.

Just like that, the master and apprentice, Zhao Nan and Ace, walked slowly along the road, practicing as they went. By the eighth day, Zhao Nan had already brought his basic sword techniques to the perfect realm.

And as his sword techniques reached the perfect realm, Zhao Nan once again adjusted the weight of his weapon from six hundred and fifty jin to eight hundred and twenty jin.

With the change in the weapon's weight, Zhao Nan's basic sword techniques once again developed flaws.

Thus, the previous training method began all over again.

Finally, after three months had passed, just as Zhao Nan and Ace had arrived not far from the exit of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Zhao Nan turned his head to smile slightly at the mountain range, and the weapon in his hand slashed fiercely and lightly toward a nearby mountain peak.

With this swing of Zhao Nan's sword, a visible shockwave slammed violently into the mountain peak.

And that mountain peak, as if it were butter being cut by a hot knife, directly developed a transparent hole.

"It's done!"

Looking at the hole that had been pierced through, Zhao Nan couldn't help but laugh.

"Teacher, what's done?" Ace asked Zhao Nan, looking at the hole with a bewildered expression.

Hearing this, Zhao Nan couldn't help but be amused. He reached out and ruffled Ace's hair, saying, "Haha, done means done. You don't understand now, but you will when you grow up.

Alright, don't think too much about it. We're about to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and Teacher is going to take you to eat something good!"

"Yay!" Hearing Zhao Nan's words, Ace put the matter aside, focusing only on the good food Zhao Nan had promised.

Zhao Nan smiled, then opened the system panel to take a look!
