On a wide, flat road, a shirtless young man was sprinting across the ground, his face covered in sweat. Large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and slammed heavily onto the ground. 💔♜ 🍔🔥

Each step the young man took was like a heavy weight crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of yellow dust.

A hundred meters above the ground, a white-robed, bald old man with his hands behind his back flew slowly behind the young man, sometimes looking into the distance, and sometimes focusing his gaze on the young man on the ground, as if checking if he was slacking off.

"Faster! Faster! Is this level of pressure enough to crush you? Didn't you say you wanted me to properly teach you cultivation? What, is this your attitude!?"

Seeing that Luo Zhe's steps were slowing down, the Sword Venerable immediately shot out an invisible burst of energy, which struck Luo Zhe's bare back heavily. The blow caused Luo Zhe to stagger, and his already unbalanced body almost fell to the ground.

With gritted teeth, Luo Zhe let his body fall down with the momentum. Before he even touched the ground, he braced himself with his hands and exerted force downwards. Using the rebound force, his forward-leaning body straightened up instantly like a spring, and he sprinted forward again.

On the distant horizon, the sharp peaks were already faintly visible, and as the distance decreased, the full view of the distant mountains became more and more obvious and clear.

Within Luo Zhe's sight, halfway up the mountain, a huge waterfall, like a silver ribbon, crashed down from the foot of the high peak, the water slamming heavily onto the boulders, and the mist filling the sky.

The faint rumbling sound of the waterfall grew clearer and clearer.

"See those mountains ahead? That's our destination. I'll go ahead first. At your speed, you should be able to get there in half an hour. Don't try to slack off; I'll be keeping a close eye on you!"

Call!

The white-robed, bald-headed Sword Venerable vanished into thin air in an instant.

Feeling the lingering, oppressive pressure, and unable to release any Spiritual Force or Origin Force from the Dantian Space within his body, he looked up again at the massive mountain whose entire outline had been revealed. 🐻💥 🐜✌

"You son of a bitch!"

Luo Zhe sighed and started running again, heading straight for what seemed to be getting closer, but in reality, there was still an immense distance between them.

As the saying goes, "a horse runs itself to death just by looking at a mountain," no matter how hard Luo Zhe rushed, he finally reached the foot of the towering mountain within the half-hour deadline.

Keep going straight, I'll be waiting for you at the bottom of the waterfall.

Luo Zhe had barely paused when he clearly heard the voice of the Sword Venerable beside him.

Looking at the enormous waterfall that resembled a silver curtain hanging from the sky, Luo Zhe calmed his breathing slightly, then surged forward again, his figure nimbly weaving through the thickets of thorns in the forest. After rushing for a while, Luo Zhe's vision suddenly opened up, and the increasingly clear roar of the waterfall filled him with joy. He had finally arrived!

Having squeezed through the last giant tree, Luo Zhe looked at the scene that appeared before him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The gentle sunlight shone on the earth, and the huge waterfall, surging powerfully in the sunlight, finally transformed into a silver ribbon, like an angry dragon, rushing down the mountain. Instantly, a huge roar resounded throughout the entire valley.

Standing beneath the waterfall, Luo Zhe took a deep breath of the moist air, raised his head, and gazed at the towering, enormous waterfall. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. As expected of a planet transformed by Venerable Level expert, such a massive natural waterfall was simply unheard of on Earth.

Luo Zhe noticed that on both sides of the waterfall were some steep mountain walls, with naturally formed caves on the walls. It looked like a good place to cultivate. As long as some stones were piled up at the entrance of these caves, those uninvited wild beasts could be kept out.

The Sword Venerable sat cross-legged on a huge protruding rock on the mountainside, quietly looking up at the leisurely white clouds.

"Teacher!" Luo Zhe bowed slightly. ♠🐳 👻👤

Sword Venerable lowered his head and glanced at Luo Zhe, who was panting heavily from his mouth and nose like a windmill, with sweat streaming down his forehead like a stream. A look of satisfaction flashed across his face.

"Next!" Sword Venerable waved his right hand.

Call out!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and a black shadow shot straight towards Luo Zhe from above. Luo Zhe subconsciously reached out to catch it, but with a "thud," Luo Zhe, who had previously exhausted his strength, lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ground, creating a huge hole in the ground.

"Cough cough~"

Feeling his body go limp, Luo Zhe simply didn't get up. He lay down on the ground, rolled over, opened his tightly clenched right fist, and looked down to see a small crystal bottle, crystal clear, containing some viscous, dark green liquid.

"What is this?" Looking at the small crystal bottle in his hand, Luo Zhe hesitated slightly before asking.

"The medicine I used to heal you earlier was this kind of potion. It was extracted from the body of Special Lifeform form called ' Bi Bird ' by one of my Pharmacist friends. For Fighter have stepped into the Origin Law Threshold, this is a rare treasure, with the special effect of enhancing their Law Comprehension. Of course, it also contains a huge amount of life energy, which can help you quickly recover from your fatigue," the Sword Venerable said with a smile.

"This potion is too precious, teacher, I can't use it." Although he didn't know what kind of life form the Bi Bird was, Luo Zhe knew from its ability to enhance Fighter's understanding of the Law of Wind that this potion was definitely not ordinary.

Sword Venerable waved his hand, patted his shiny bald head, and smiled, "You must start laying a foundation early. The weaker you are, the more solid your foundation must be. This will make your cultivation path more stable."

"Besides, treasures and potions are just external things to a teacher. Don't value them too much. As long as you are strong enough, treasures and such are all within your grasp!"

Looking at the potion in his hand, Luo Zhe hesitated for a long time, but still did not refuse again. Instead, he sat up cross-legged, unscrewed the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the medicine was ingested, it instantly transformed into a vast and pure life energy that filled Luo Zhe's entire body. At the same time, the wisps of dark green life essence contained within it directly penetrated deep into Luo Zhe's cells, bringing about some life-transcending changes to his cells.

"It's true! This potion can actually drive a leap in life! My understanding of the Law of Wind has become even clearer!" A hint of surprise appeared in Luo Zhe's eyes.

Sword Venerable smiled slightly as he watched Luo Zhe enter a meditative state, and waved his right hand.

Behind Luo Zhe, a loud rumble echoed through the open space, as if it had been crushed by some invisible force, leaving it completely Pingping. Then, dozens of Yuan Iron pillars, each with a radius of nearly one meter and a length of almost ten meters, fell straight down from mid-air, arranged in a unique orientation, and plunged directly into the ground.

With another wave of his right hand, more than a dozen Yuan Iron pillars floated into the air, as if bound together by an invisible thread. A gust of wind blew, and the Yuan Iron pillars began to sway in all directions.

After an unknown amount of time, when Luo Zhe opened his eyes, he was still somewhat dazed. All he could see was a sky full of stars, with the night having long since taken over the background. The bright sun that had once hung high in the sky was nowhere to be seen.

"Awake?" The Sword Venerable's leisurely voice reached my ears.

Luo Zhe shook his head, trying to clear his head, and replied sullenly, "I'm awake, teacher."

"You're awake. Let's get back to training! You've rested long enough."

No sooner had he finished speaking than, whoosh! Another swift sound of wind breaking rang out, and Luo Zhe instinctively rolled aside to dodge.

Boom!

A huge circular crater suddenly appeared on the ground, making Luo Zhe's scalp tingle. If that had hit him, it would have hurt for quite a while! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Looking up at the Sword Venerable, he saw the other man point behind him and say, "See those Yuan Iron pillars behind you?"

Luo Zhe turned his head in the direction the Sword Venerable was pointing and saw that the Origin Iron Pillars, which had been modified at some point, were now neatly laid out on the ground.

Sword Venerable stared at Luo Zhe with a hint of malice in his eyes, and said with a smile, "From now on, you will cultivate here every day. I will command these floating Yuan Iron Pillars to attack you, and you must dodge them all without fighting back. Moreover, while you are dodging, the pressure like this will continue, and I will also apply even stronger pressure to you from time to time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhe was taken aback. He looked at Yuan Tiezhu, who was almost half the size of his body, and then at his own lean frame. He couldn't help but swallow hard and chuckled dryly, "Teacher, using me as a human target is probably not a good idea. It could lead to someone's death!"

Although Luo Zhe was quite confident in his dodging speed, this thing was thick, long, hard, and so big that even a slight hit would probably send him flying.

Keep in mind that this is a pure metal Yuan Iron Pillar, and the power of each impact is considerable.

"Don't you really want to give it a try?" Looking at Luo Zhe's expression, the Sword Venerable suddenly smiled, a hint of cunning in his smile, and his right hand occasionally flicked in the air, as if he was eager to try.

"Of course I want to! I'm so excited I could cry! I'll try it right away!" Luo Zhe said, his voice trembling.

Seeing that he had no other choice, Luo Zhe could only grit his teeth, push off the ground with his toes, and forcefully resist the pressure exerted on him, making an ugly frog-like leap, and soaring onto a Yuan iron pillar.

Upon reaching the top of the Yuan Iron Pillar, Luo Zhe discovered that the top was not a standard circular plane, but rather a smooth convex surface somewhat resembling a missile head. Maintaining balance and avoiding falling was no easy task.

Taking a deep breath, finding his balance, and maintaining his stability, he slightly raised his hand towards the Sword Venerable and said, "Come on, teacher!"

I'm out again today, so here's the update first.
