Zhou Cheng felt comfortable, but what he had just done made Fukasaku and Shima's scalps prickle with alarm.
The toads of Mount Myōboku could see natural energy directly.
So when they saw vast amounts of natural energy gathering around Zhou Cheng, they froze on the spot as though petrified.
How on earth had he done it?
With that much natural energy, he had probably gathered everything Mount Myōboku had accumulated over a period of time.
Even Fukasaku and his wife could not accomplish such a feat.

Zhou Cheng had now meditated for ten hours without eating or drinking.
