The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao's composure amidst the Tianliu Waterfall is evident to all.

The reason why no one had thought of this method of concealing spiritual power before was that it was very likely that the person would be destroyed by the waterfall the moment they tried to conceal their spiritual power.

Now that Chi Miao has given a demonstration, everyone is eager to try it out.

But he only wanted to move, yet dared not.

This is a Supreme Elder. Even if he suppresses his cultivation to the Qi Refining stage, he is still a genuine big shot.

Are they risking their lives to compete with others?

Chi Miao quickly sat up again, her gaze sweeping over the others before finally settling on Qin Fen: "Did you understand my demonstration?"

Qin Fen snapped out of his daze, a puzzled look on his face: "I understand now, but I don't get it... Instead of fighting the waterfall, isn't accepting its cascading force too much for the body? And without combat training, how can the body be strengthened? Elder, you were mostly absorbing spiritual energy just now; was your physical growth merely superficial?"

"shallow!"

Chi Miao cursed, leaving everyone stunned.

Qin Fen lowered his head even further, wondering if he had said something wrong and angered the Supreme Elder.

Chi Miao asked, "Are there any places nearby where I can test my physical strength?"

Chen Heng: "Yes, yes! Elder, are you going to show off your skills?"

Chi Miao nodded.

He then led the way, taking Chi Miao to the physical testing site.

It was a huge stone tablet.

There's also a leaderboard next to it, with the highest number displayed as 500.

Chen Heng said, "This is the physical test stele of the Yellow-level waterfall. When you throw a punch, the stele will light up with the corresponding power number. We usually use this stele to judge our training results and whether we can enter the next level of waterfall training."

"The highest record on this stone tablet at Huangji Waterfall is currently 500."

Three hundred can kill a tiger with one punch, and five hundred can kill a bear.

It is an extremely terrifying physical strength.

Chi Miao didn't actually know the extent of her physical abilities, but her physical body was definitely not weak.

She had been struck by lightning for so long in the Sword Tomb, which tempered her body. In addition, she had absorbed the essence of the Heavenly Flowing Waterfall for a while.

While others could only withstand the Yellow Waterfall for half an hour, she could lie in it without feeling a thing.

She'll find out exactly how many values ​​she can achieve once she tries.

She looked at the stone tablet and smiled: "Whether my method is effective on the physical body or not, you'll know once you try it here."

After saying that, she opened her arms.

"Elder, are you about to begin the fight?"

"right."

"Then you go first..." Chen Heng took out a pair of boxing gloves, but before he could finish speaking, Chi Miao shouted.

"Back off!"

"I'm about to start showing off."

Chi Miao took a deep breath and breathed on his fist.

People around quickly moved aside.

Without using spiritual power, relying solely on physical strength, even if the Supreme Elder has a high level of cultivation, it wouldn't be too heaven-defying.

Chi Miao stared at the stone tablet, gathered his strength for a while, and then threw a punch!

call--

A whooshing sound rang out.

This punch seemed capable of tearing the wind apart.

boom--!

He slammed his fist into the stone tablet!

At this moment, everyone stared wide-eyed, eagerly awaiting Chi Miao's score.

The next second, Chi Miao froze, and even her expression turned ugly.

"What's wrong, Elder? Are you alright?"

Finally, Chi Miao couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up and down with her arms crossed.

"Holy crap! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Nobody told her that this stone tablet could be so hard!

Force is reciprocal; when she struck with all her might, she also suffered, the pain bringing tears to her eyes and nearly shattering her bones.

"Why didn't anyone say that this blow hurt so much?! Am I that kind of person who's so rude that no one even warned me?!"

Chen Heng, holding his boxing gloves, stared in disbelief: "I...I was going to say something, but you told me to step back."

Chi Miao: "..."

It seems I really am a despicable person.

Everyone: "..."

The Supreme Elder must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.

"Look, the numbers are out!"

Only then did everyone look over.

When they saw the numbers on the stone tablet, their jaws dropped in astonishment!

The stone tablet clearly displayed a four-digit number.

"Three...three thousand?!"

"A bare-handed punch, and he actually scored three thousand?!"

"This can be achieved without using spiritual power? These stats are enough to skip directly to the Earth-level Waterfall!"

"Could the Supreme Elder have been hiding his true abilities all along...? Such terrifying numbers, killing six bears with a single punch using only a mortal body without using spiritual power?"

Everyone looked at Chi Miao as if she were a monster.

Chi Miao then coughed lightly and turned to reveal the secret of the Heavenly Flowing Waterfall.

"This result is barely acceptable. The reason why you haven't been able to achieve success in the physical realm for so long is obvious. It's not because you lack talent, nor because you haven't worked hard enough... it's because you've been using the Heavenly Waterfall technique completely wrong!"

"Everyone subconsciously believes that only through combat training can they maximize their physical strength. But have you ever considered... if the Heavenly Flow Waterfall is truly used in this way, then what is the purpose of its immense spiritual energy?"

"That spiritual energy can nourish your physical body the moment it is absorbed. Combined with my massage chair, it will promote absorption and make the results even more effective."

"You'll know whether it's true or not once you try it."

"Effort is important, but the direction of your efforts is even more important!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chi Miao with admiration.

"As expected of the Supreme Elder, to utter such philosophical words!"

"I need to go and try it right away. If what the Supreme Elder said is true, then we've really wasted the Heavenly Flow Waterfall all these years!"

After saying that, the group went to try it.

You won't know until you try. The moment they absorbed the waterfall with a death wish and the spiritual energy within nourished their bodies, they knew...

"What the Supreme Elder said is true!"

"Good heavens... They're all human brains, how could the Supreme Elder have come up with this method!"

"As expected of our sect's Supreme Elder, his hands-on approach and the speed at which he discovered the problem—once this news is made public, I can't even imagine how many people will come to Heavenly Flow Waterfall! This is a real boost to our combat strength!"

"Really... the Supreme Elder is so great, I truly admire her!"

This moment.

Chi Miao had grown tall, with a sacred light shining behind him, and had become a giant in everyone's hearts.

A large amount of merit light surged into Chi Miao's body.

Chi Miao: "No... this merit is coming again!"

Gou Shi System: "..."

That's such an infuriating line!

……

The story of Tianliu Waterfall is extremely shocking; for anyone who wants to train their body, hearing about it is enough to drive them crazy.

Yuqing Peak.

Ying Wuhuo and Jin Shengfei tried to compare.

Jin Shengfei has excellent talent and comprehension. After receiving formal training these days, he has made rapid progress. Moreover, Qing Huan accidentally developed his talent for making talismans.

The two now spar from time to time to hone their combat skills.

In fact, Ying Wuhuo had another little scheme of his own: to find out about Chi Miao by getting information from Jin Shengfei.

Whether Chi Miao possesses a Yang spiritual root or not is of utmost importance to him.

He only has less than half a month left. If Chi Miao has a Yang spiritual root... then he can still be saved.

Suddenly, a disciple ran over.

"Senior Brother Wu Huo, something's happened at Tianliu Waterfall!"

The two stopped sparring, and Ying Wuhuo asked, "What's going on?"

The disciple said:

"The Supreme Elder has gone to Heavenly Flow Waterfall and developed a completely new body-refining method. Its efficiency is astonishing, almost a hundred times greater than before!"

"They say... the true purpose of the Heavenly Flowing Waterfall has been discovered by the Supreme Elder!"

"They even said that the Supreme Elder was originally a novice in body cultivation, but after training at the Yellow-level waterfall for a short time, he broke your record of 500 and achieved an incredible score of 3000!"

The two were stunned.

What is that?

The Supreme Elder went to Tianliu Waterfall to develop a new method of body tempering?

A novice in body cultivation, yet he achieved an incredible stat of 3,000?!

The characters look so familiar, they seem to resemble Chinese.

What exactly does "Supreme Elder" have to do with these terms?

Do you want to hear the nonsense you're spouting?!
