Chen Mochuan stepped into this quaint building.
Unlike Gravity Training Hall, which was bustling with people before, this place is very quiet.
Looking around, the gym is very empty, with almost no extra decorations or facilities. There is only a giant stone monument that is more than fifty meters high and stands majestically in the center of the training hall.
The stone tablet is blue-gray in color, and its surface is not smooth. Instead, it is covered with countless fine, vertical lines. These lines are of different shades and winding, as if they have experienced hundreds of millions of years of waterfall erosion, water erosion and weathering, leaving traces of time and strength.
A vast and vast spiritual fluctuation, centered on the stone tablet, permeated the entire venue silently.
This is the special treasure Mental Waterfall that is unique to Yunhan Martial Arts University and used to assist Mental Power in his practice.
It is said that this treasure was found by a certain principal in the history of Yunhan Martial Arts University from a dangerous place deep in the underground world and then brought it back with great effort.
But for Chen Mochuan, who already knows many secrets, he is more inclined to believe that the real source of "Mental Waterfall" is probably related to Ancient Cultivation Civilization, who was extremely prosperous in spiritual practice, and is a treasure left by him in a prehistoric ruins.
After verifying the iris at the self-service terminal at the entrance and entering the student number information, Chen Mochuan was allowed to enter the venue and approach the huge stone monument.
Unlike Gravity Room, which requires an appointment and occupies a separate space, Mental Waterfall's practice method is more "open".
As long as you are within a hundred meters of the stone monument, you can spontaneously establish contact with the vast and special spiritual fluctuations it emits, and enter a state of cultivation.
Therefore, around Mental Waterfall, there are many students sitting scatteredly, near or far, with their eyes closed and concentrated, immersed in practice.
Chen Mochuan did not disturb anyone. He found an open space with relatively few people around and about thirty meters away from the stone monument. He followed the example of others and sat directly on the ground.
Having used the charm of the "Sun-Moon Radiance Diagram" mural to practice Visualization Method many times, he is already familiar with guiding Mental Power to establish resonance with external high-level spiritual sources.
Closing his eyes, concentrating and calming his breath, slowly adjusting his breathing and mental frequency, he tried to sense and touch the special fluctuations that filled the air.
Soon, a wonderful resonance occurred.
For a moment, he felt as if his consciousness was gently wrapped and pulled by a soft and vast force. It was slowly "withdrawn" from his body and turned into a small and solid "light point", "floating" towards the huge stone tablet.
This was an unprecedented and wonderful experience. The moment his "light point of consciousness" touched Mental Waterfall, Chen Mochuan could clearly feel that his entire spiritual world had received subtle but continuous nourishment and comfort, making him very comfortable.
The slight mental tension caused by long-term visualization practice seems to be slowly dissipating.
At the same time, Chen Mochuan, who transformed into a "light point" and was currently at the bottom of the stone monument, also found that something higher up the stone monument was strongly attracting him, calling him to climb up.
Without any hesitation, Chen Mochuan moved his mind slightly, tried to control the "light spot" of his consciousness, and began to climb up along the stone gully full of flowing water lines.
The first section of the journey was extremely smooth, like going up an extremely gentle stream. He could hardly feel any resistance. Instead, his spirit felt more and more comfortable in the ubiquitous nourishing fluctuations. He climbed very fast.
However, as altitude increases, changes begin to occur.
An invisible, soft but continuous resistance began to appear, as if there were really thousands of invisible waterfalls hanging from the top of the stone monument, washing over the "light spot" of his consciousness.
This washout is not hurt, but more like a kind of polishing and testing.
Under this continuous and ubiquitous wash, Chen Mochuan could clearly feel that the "light spots" condensed by his consciousness seemed to be being compacted and condensed little by little, and the intensity of Mental Power was quietly increasing.
Although this process is slow, the results are real.
I don't know how long I have been climbing, but Chen Mochuan feels that the resistance from above is getting stronger and stronger, and the invisible scouring force is becoming more and more powerful.
It became extremely difficult for his consciousness "light point" to move forward. Every time it moved upward, more Mental Power energy was consumed to resist the increasingly stronger "spiritual torrent" impact.
Fifteen meters----···meters----two··----
Finally, when he reached a certain height, he felt powerless, as if if he forced himself upward, his consciousness would be in danger of being washed away and expelled from the stone monument.
"This is my current limit----" Chen Mochuan understood clearly in his heart.
So he no longer forced to climb, but just stayed at the current position, calmed down completely, devoted all his attention to enduring and adapting to the majestic "spiritual torrent", and used this power to further refine and solidify his Mental Power.
At the same time, he activated <Sun-Forging Heaven-Burning Visualization Method> and <Taiyin Moon-Congealing Visualization Method>, and in this special environment, he actively guided this external force of cleansing to cleanse his spiritual world over and over again, tempering the "big sun" and "bright moon" imprints in it, and trying to more deeply visualize the artistic conception of the rotation of the sun and the moon, and the transformation of yin and yang----
The sun was setting in the west, the moon was shining brightly, and it was already evening.
On the other side of Mental Waterfall, Tie Wushuang took a deep breath and opened his closed eyes.
After nearly five hours of in-depth practice on Mental Waterfall, his face was slightly pale. Although there was a strong sense of exhaustion and consumption on the mental level, and there was persistent swelling and pain in his temples, deep in his eyes, there was excitement and satisfaction that was hard to conceal.
--
Experiencing the baptism of Mental Waterfall for the first time, he gained a lot!
The feeling of the spirit being continuously washed and tempered, impurities removed bit by bit, and becoming more solid and transparent, is intoxicating, and even exceeds the effect of the spiritual-strengthening heavenly materials and earthly treasures he used before.
Taking a closer look at himself, he could feel that his Mental Power was obviously purer, and the total amount had also improved a bit.
More importantly, it seems that the control of Mental Power has become easier.
His spiritual talent is already outstanding. As early as the Martial Warrior stage, Mental Power had already physically reached the Mortal Shedding stage. Now he is not far from the Mortal Shedding Perfection stage, and he has already started to prepare for breaking through the Innate Realm stage.
Coupled with the assistance of top resources such as "Mental Waterfall", he is more confident and even feels that his Mental Power has a good chance of being ahead of the physical body again, taking the lead in breaking through the bottleneck and stepping into the realm of the Innate Realm.
Therefore, in Tie Wushuang's heart, he believes that both his current Mental Power strength and his future spiritual potential are enough to securely rank first among the freshmen of this class. Even Xie Xiqiong must be slightly inferior to him in terms of Mental Power.
With this confidence and the joy of harvest, Tie Wushuang raised his head and looked at the huge projection screen hanging on the wall of the museum.
There are many lists on the screen, recording various rankings related to Mental Waterfall's practice, including a series of lists such as the historical list and the list of each grade. The purpose is to clearly display the results of practice and encourage the students of Yunhan Martial Arts University to catch up with each other and work hard.
Tie Wushuang's eyes naturally fell on the sub-list marked "2667 Freshman List".
But the next moment, the faint smile on his face suddenly solidified, and his whole person seemed to be hit by an invisible thunder, and he froze in place instantly.
I saw that on the list, it was clearly displayed:
[1]Chen Mochuan(Northern Academy):22.1 meters[2]Tie Wushuang(Southern Academy):19.1 meters[3] Xie Xiqiong(Eastern Academy):18.9 meters[4]Shen Qinghe(Western Academy):18.5 meters[5]----
Staring at the glittering name at the top of the list, Tie Wushuang's mind went blank for a moment, and he whispered unconsciously, "Chen Mochuan----22.1 meters----"
Immediately, an unbelievable emotion was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the joy and confidence he had just gained from his progress in practice.
I tried my best and endured the burden of Mental Power, which was almost overdrafted, and finally climbed to a height of 19.1 meters on this Mental Waterfall. I thought that this result was enough to stand out from the same class and establish my leading edge in the field of Mental Power.
But----22.1 meters!
A gap of 3 meters!
In the practice of Mental Waterfall, this is by no means a number that can be easily ignored. It represents that there is a very significant gap between the two Mental Powers in terms of strength and toughness.
The name at the top of the list was like a red-hot steel needle, piercing into the bottom of his heart, crazily destroying the confidence he had just built.
After his physical endurance was crushed by the opponent in Gravity Room in the afternoon, now in the Mental Power field that he is most proud of, Chen Mochuan once again won without a doubt.
An idea that he didn't want to accept but had to face flashed through his mind: "This Chen Mochuan----"
Are you really stronger than me in terms of talent and strength?
"But this----how is it possible----"
You must know that he, Tie Wushuang, is a direct descendant of Hai City Tie Family. The second son of the family head, named Wushuang, carries the high expectations of his father and even the family. He also has the extremely rare Heaven-Tier Spirit Talent. He has enjoyed the family's unremitting resources and training since he was a child.
If Xie Xiqiong, who was born in the Imperial Capital family and has the same outstanding talent, is slightly better in some aspects, although he will feel pressure, he can still accept it deep down------
But now, how could he be completely outperformed by a person from a small county with an ordinary family background?
However, when he raised his head and looked at the extremely dazzling results on the big screen again, all his thoughts were covered by an almost cold, all-round sense of oppression and frustration.
The facts are before our eyes and cannot be argued.
Chen Mochuan---- Actually, in both the physical and mental cornerstones of martial arts, he has demonstrated talent and strength that surpasses his own and can be called a monster level.
In a daze, Tie Wushuang found that this feeling of being suppressed in all directions was so familiar----
The dusty memory was touched, and he finally recovered from the huge shock, remembering the figure that suppressed him like a nightmare for three years in high school——Fu Tiankuo.
No matter how hard he tries to catch up and how he squeezes his potential, Fu Tiankuo can always walk in front of him easily, even widening the gap, like an insurmountable mountain, always standing in front of him.
Those three years were the most depressing and unwilling three years in Tie Wushuang's life.
Originally, given his Hai City status as the second best candidate and Tie Family's background, it was only natural and the best choice for him to choose to stay locally with Vast Sea Martial Arts University, who had deeper resources and connections.
The arrangements at home and the warm invitation from the Vast Sea Martial Arts University Admissions Office all point to that.
However, Tie Wushuang knows that Fu Tiankuo will inevitably enter Vast Sea Martial Arts University.
He could even imagine that in the next four years, he who was in the same school would probably repeat the dark three years of high school, living in that person's shadow forever, being the "second" forever.
Just as he was struggling in his heart, the admissions teacher at Yunhan Martial Arts University found him with great sincerity, promised generous terms, and showed another possibility.
In order to get rid of the nightmare that followed him everywhere, he resolutely rejected Vast Sea Martial Arts University's invitation and chose Yunhan Martial Arts University instead.
He understands that from a certain perspective, this may be an "escape", but he really doesn't want to, and is no longer willing to continue to live in the shadow of Fu Tiankuo.
At the opening ceremony, he was chosen to speak on behalf of the new students. At that moment, he seemed to see a new starting point, thinking that he had finally broken free from the shackles of the past and could regroup under the sky of Yunhan and create his own glory.
However, reality gave him a blow in the head.
Before the day had passed, he encountered another "monster" who seemed to be no less inferior to Fu Tiankuo, and the confidence he had just established was once again on the verge of crumbling.
However, perhaps due to the three years of stress-resistance training in high school, he quickly regained his composure from his brief self-doubt.
"No - I am not completely suppressed! The road to martial arts is so long, how can we only look at the length of one moment and one place?"
Tie Wushuang shook his head vigorously, and his eyes became bright again.
"The physical body and spirit are certainly the cornerstones, but what determines the level of strength is the understanding and application of martial arts, the adaptability and understanding in battle, and even the talent and will of fighting--even Fu Tiankuo did not surpass me by much in other aspects back then!"
He recalled his repeated discussions with Fu Tiankuo. Although the opponent was ahead in all aspects, he was not helpless and even had the upper hand in some specific aspects.
"Beast-Hunting Trial----"
"Four-Academy Martial Meet----"
Tie Wushuang silently thought about these two upcoming key events of demonstrating strength and arranging seats for the freshmen, and his fighting spirit ignited in his chest.
"I, Tie Wushuang, will never be second forever!"
He raised his head again and glanced at the somewhat dazzling name on the list with complex eyes. This time, his eyes were less confused and frustrated, and more determined.
Suppressing the bursts of weakness and exhaustion caused by mental exhaustion, he stopped staying and turned around to leave the venue.
He turned this pressure and challenge into a more urgent motivation for practice.
I don't know how long he had been practicing on Mental Waterfall. When the last trace of Mental Power from Chen Mochuan was consumed, he finally couldn't resist the torrent from upstream. His consciousness was gently "pushed" out by the invisible torrent, and he instantly separated from the stone tablet and returned to his body sitting cross-legged.
A strong sense of spiritual emptiness and overdraft came over him like a tide, making his vision go dark and a pinprick-like pain coming from his forehead.
He immediately calmed down and did not dare to neglect at all.
As my mind moved slightly, in the spiritual world, the imprints of "big sun" and "bright moon" slowly rotated, and the light of the sun and moon nourished the almost dry spiritual world like a trickle.
After taking a breath for a while, his mind regained some clarity. Chen Mochuan immediately focused his thoughts and called out Golden Light Screen to check the specific gains of this practice.
[You have been exposed to Mental Waterfall for a long time, Mental Power has been tempered to a high intensity, and at the same time you have a deeper understanding of the Visualization Method you practice.]
[Mental Power:74.82→75.13]
[Sun-Forging Heaven-Burning Visualization Method: Initiation(59%)→Initiation(61%)]
[Taiyin Moon-Congealing Visualization Method: Initiation(59%)→Initiation(61%)]
Chen Mochuan is quite satisfied with this improvement, and in the training agreement, there is no limit on the number of times he can use Mental Waterfall, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage.
However, after experiencing the practice just now, he also clearly realized that this kind of high-intensity mental tempering with the help of external forces must not be carried out without restraint.
The recovery of Mental Power takes time. Excessive pressure and overdraft will damage the foundation and be harmful rather than helpful.
I roughly estimated my endurance in my mind, and it should be the most appropriate and efficient frequency to conduct such in-depth tempering every four days.
In addition to the gains, he also had some regrets in his heart.
Because he had felt from the beginning that this huge stone tablet contained extremely vast Spiritual Essence, but when he tried to use "Spirit Devourer" to absorb a trace of this Spiritual Essence, he found that he could not shake it at all, and it was impossible to swallow and absorb it.
After thinking about it, I still don't have enough strength, so I can only try again after I improve my level.
Pressing down these thoughts, Chen Mochuan continued to close his eyes and adjust his breath, mobilizing Sun-Moon Imprint to regain his energy.
When he opened his eyes again, through the window of the venue, he could see that the sky outside was completely dark, but the number of practicing students around Mental Waterfall was no less than when he first arrived in the afternoon.
"Everyone----works very hard."
Chen Mochuan sighed in his heart, and at the same time felt the ubiquitous competitive atmosphere in this top university.
No longer staying, he stood up slowly. Although he was still mentally exhausted, his physical condition was still good.
He took one last look at the huge stone tablet that looked even more primitive and mysterious under the light, turned around and left quietly, his figure blending into the dark night outside.
