"An opportunity?"
Though puzzled, Ye Lin obediently followed behind Chu Xue.
The two arrived at the deepest part of the Azure Cloud Sect. There, in a vast canyon, a massive waterfall plunged down from the very center.
Endless torrents crashed from the canyon's peak to the ground, roaring thunderously.
Suddenly, a boulder tumbled down and landed beneath the waterfall. In the next instant, the merciless torrent crushed it to pieces, leaving nothing but rubble.
"Your body is certainly strong now, but it's still not enough. You need to keep tempering it."
"If you can endure beneath this waterfall for half an hour, I'll grant you an opportunity. Remember, you mustn't use spiritual energy to shield yourself."
Chu Xue turned and spoke softly to Ye Lin. His heart jolted.

An ordinary person would probably be crushed to pieces as soon as they stepped beneath the waterfall.
Even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert probably wouldn't last a minute.

Ye Lin took off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles, then leaped beneath the waterfall and looked at the torrent before him.
He slowly approached and braced his back against the falling water. His body immediately sank, as though a mountain had been laid across
