The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

It snowed heavily.

The sky was overcast.

Su Chen stood under the eaves, the wind and snow hitting him, while the pale sunlight fell on him.

Threads of energy flowed into the body.

"You should not be exposed to wind and snow now."

"Mr. Urokodaki, sunbathing makes me feel more comfortable."

Urokodaki Sakonji sat down next to Su Chen.

He always wore a celestial dog mask on his face.

It symbolizes protection, deterrence, and the inheritance of power.

Three days ago, he beheaded a demon in the heavy snow and saved Su Chen.

Su Chen was injured by an evil spirit, breaking two of his ribs.

He is currently recuperating and should not be exposed to wind and snow.

But Su Chen wouldn't listen; he insisted on standing in the sunlight after sunrise.

Urokodaki Sakonji also felt helpless.

A wisp of dark cloud dissipated from the sky.

A patch of intense sunlight was cast down.

The wind and snow stopped.

Su Chen looked up at the sun.

More energy enters the body, rapidly repairing damaged bones.

"If you sunbathe for another hour, the broken bone will be fully restored."

"I've been sunbathing for the past three days, and my body density has probably doubled."

"Although this body is only sixteen years old, its strength has already reached one thousand jin."

He pondered silently.

Ignoring the fact that Urokodaki Sakonji was right beside him, he opened his arms and quietly absorbed the sun's energy.

Upon ascending to this realm, he awakened a constitution that allowed him to absorb solar energy and become stronger.

My only thought now is to strengthen my body to an unparalleled degree.

As for evil spirits?

To avenge the loss of two broken ribs, he must be killed.

He can't stand the slightest bit of humiliation.

Since you have hurt me, I will destroy you from the source.

Time flows quietly.

As the bones heal, the body is completely healed.

Su Chen felt that his breathing was much easier.

Indeed, when you are physically healthy, your emotions are most stable and relaxed.

"Mr. Urokodaki, I have fully recovered."

"Oh?"

Urokodaki Sakonji approached Su Chen and placed his hand on Su Chen's wrist. With a whoosh, a breath of air escaped his mouth, instantly enhancing his perception and allowing him to clearly sense Su Chen's physical condition.

"It's amazing! Not only has your body fully recovered, but you're also more than twice as strong as you were three days ago."

"May I learn swordsmanship from you?"

"Of course."

Urokodaki Sakonji thought Su Chen was a good prospect for sword training.

Only with a strong physique can one elevate their breathing techniques to a higher level.

If one's physical body is weak, one will not be able to support the operation of breathing techniques.

Urokodaki Sakonji was always taciturn.

He only speaks a few words when necessary.

Perhaps only a teacher like this can produce a disciple like Giyu Tomioka.

Both were taciturn, quietly doing what they believed was right.

Su Chen followed Linlong Zuojin up to the Misty Mountain.

There are traps set by the latter here.

"From the mountaintop down, traps of increasing danger are set up in the four directions: east, south, west, and north."

"If you want to practice swordsmanship, you must first improve your physical fitness, reflexes, and willpower. These three are indispensable, so that you can avoid being killed by evil spirits in the future."

"Now, begin your trial. Only after you have passed the four trials will I teach you the breathing techniques and swordsmanship of my lineage."

Su Chen nodded.

Head east to break through the barrier.

The trap on this side is the simplest.

The requirement is to reach the foot of the mountain from the summit within one hour.

Mount Saguri is a full kilometer high.

This level is not easy.

He rushed out.

A strong physique results in incredibly sharp senses.

Even while running at high speed, one can detect the location of a trap.

One, two, three...

I don't know how many traps I avoided along the way.

Some were also hit by unexpected traps.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he was in excruciating pain all over his body.
