C23 Chopping Trees

"Yes!" Zheng Zinuo was wild with joy. He picked up the small sapling and started to follow the steps of the Yu's Step. However, he didn't activate the martial soul. Instead, he drew out his soul power, because he knew that nothing could be done in one go. If he wanted to use his soul power to cast the Yu's Step, he would surely follow in the footsteps of that dizzy chest. Therefore, he planned to master the Yu's Step's steps before returning to the mountain.

Although this would inevitably increase the distance between him and Feng Ziyan, and he would not be able to catch up with her. However, after learning the real skill, he was not in a hurry. He followed her just like that, even though he did not use his soul power. The speed of the Yu's Step was much faster than his usual running speed.

Just like that, the two of them arrived at their destination in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn - the Cathaya Forest.

This was a very flat land at the foot of the mountain. There were trees and bamboo forests as far as the eye could see, and the forest Feng Ziyan brought Zheng Zinuo to was the fir forest that was ten years long. This forest was filled with fir trees. The fir trees were very lively. Moreover, they grew very quickly. Within ten years, they could grow into a thick and thick tree that was the size of an ordinary adult man's hug. And the height was more than five meters long. For an acolyte who had just entered the sect, who did not know how to use soul force, It might not be very difficult to cut down such a large tree, but dragging it up to the mountain would not be so easy.

But how could the body transformation of a martial artist be simple? It was impossible to break a piece of jade without a tool, and it was even more so for a cultivator.

"Junior brother, this is our destination." Feng Ziyan went to the fir forest and waited for a while. Zheng Zinuo came to her side, panting. She turned to Zheng Zinuo and said, "This is a fir tree that has been growing for ten years. Your task is to cut any of the fir trees. Take it back with you. There is an axe on the ground. Choose one yourself. I'm also going to complete my task."

After saying that, Feng Ziyan was about to leave. Zheng Zinuo hurriedly shouted, "Senior sister, what is your mission?"

"My mission is right next to this fir forest, a hundred-year-old Nanmu tree. Then I will bring it up the mountain, but I will not be doing this boring and simple body transformation soon. After reaching level 15, dad will arrange other body transformation exercises and teach me the true Martial Cultivation Method. Junior brother, I'll be leaving now. Do your best! " Feng Ziyan smiled and turned around to leave.

"A century old Nanmu tree. It must be much thicker than this fir tree." Zheng Zinuo nodded and picked up an axe from the ground. He suddenly felt his arm sink. His small body was not even as long as the axe handle. Moreover, the axe was made of refined iron, and the palm-sized axe weighed about five or six kilograms.

No wonder Zheng Zinuo felt that the axe was heavy. He had been walking on the mountain road for such a long time. His physical strength was already somewhat lacking, and now he had to cut down a big tree that was as thick as a person's arm. Zheng Zinuo had already thought of how difficult his life would be in the future, but when he thought about how his parents might be in the middle of water... His fighting spirit rose.

"Ya!" He held the axe with both hands as far away from the axe as possible so as to reduce the strength. He raised it high above his head and suddenly waved both hands.

"Dong..."

"Clang..."

Since it was his first time using an axe, coupled with the fact that it was too heavy, Unable to grasp his aim, the axe flew quite a distance away from the edge of the tree trunk. Even his body was smashed into the trunk due to excessive force. It made his shoulder hurt.

"Again!" Zheng Zinuo rubbed his aching shoulder and shook his arm. He swung the ax again. This time, he learned his lesson and used a lot less strength. The handle of the ax moved closer to him and paid attention to the accuracy. Although the ax fell on the tree trunk, Zheng Zinuo could not help but want to curse when he heard the words that came out of his mouth.

Zheng Zinuo was not discouraged at all. He knew the principle of the iron pestle becoming a needle, so he continued to swing the axe. He could not do it once or twice, and he could not do it twice or thrice. After swinging the ax for more than ten times, he was covered in sweat, but the effect was also much more obvious. A hole that was three fingers deep had clearly been torn open on the thick tree trunk.

Zheng Zinuo threw away the ax and laid down on the ground, gasping for breath and resting. Now he finally understood what Dongfang Shenyong had told him to only cut one tree.

After resting for a while, Zheng Zinuo picked up the ax and started to chop again. From time to time, he heard Feng Ziyan's soft shout and delicate breathing from not far away. His fighting spirit was even higher.

"No matter what, I can't lose to senior sister." Zheng Zinuo was very competitive at such a young age. He waved the axe again. He held on for more than ten times. His arms were numb and he was exhausted. The trunk of the tree was only as deep as a palm. It was not even half as deep as the palm.

"Sigh... Sure enough, it's not simple. It's much harder than running. Furthermore, aiyo... Why is my back aching all over my body? " Zheng Zinuo realized that he had only swung his axe twenty something times. At this moment, he was so tired that he could not even straighten his back.

He rested for a long time this time. After about one hourglass, he got up again. He rubbed his sore arms and waist and raised his axe again to chop with all his might.

But this time, he swung his axe even less. Less than ten times, he felt that his hands were rubbed so hot and painful that he could not even lift his arms.

"No, no, I can't. Let's rest for a while." Zheng Zinuo comforted himself and laid down again. But this time, he did not hear Feng Ziyan's cry from afar. He only heard a rustling sound coming from afar.

After a while, Zheng Zinuo widened his eyes and stared blankly at the young body in the distance. Behind him was a big tree with two people hugging each other. It was a green tree that was almost ten meters long.

Such a weak body dragging such a large tree looked a little funny. But at this moment, Zheng Zinuo could not laugh. He was only two years older than himself. And he did not even cut off such a small tree. Feng Ziyan had already completed her mission. It was too shocking.

"Junior brother, I have to go first. I have other things to do. Do you know the way?" Feng Ziyan was not surprised to see Zheng Zinuo lying on the ground in a daze. She just wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled at him.

"Oh, I recognize him." Zheng Zinuo nodded subconsciously, still in a daze.

"Hehe... Then, junior brother, you can slowly chop the tree. I'll be leaving first." Feng Ziyan replied before dragging the large tree with great difficulty and slowly leaving Zheng Zinuo.

Just as Zheng Zinuo was about to get up and chop the tree again, Feng Ziyan's voice came from afar, "If your body is exhausted, calm your heart and recite the Soul Upgrade Spell that I taught you. This way, not only can you better cultivate your soul power, but it can also help you recover your strength in the fastest time possible. Only when one's body is exhausted can one absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth better. It would be best to cultivate at this time. Remember, the Soul Upgrade Spell is not as simple as you think it is. Although it is the lowest level technique, It was the foundation of all profound techniques, and its practicality was self-evident. I'll be leaving, junior brother. "

Zheng Zinuo was slightly startled when he heard this, and was immediately overjoyed. He did not continue chopping trees. He crossed his legs and meditated, silently chanting the Soul Upgrade Spell. The pale yellow martial soul on his back slowly appeared. About ten breaths later, Zheng Zinuo opened his eyes. Only then did he silently recite the Soul Upgrade Spell from beginning to end. He felt that his physical strength had mostly recovered. What was even stranger was that his waist and arms, which had been sore just now, had become much better.

He was immediately overjoyed. He repeated the Soul Upgrade Spell twice. After that, he got up and started chopping trees. After he had exhausted his physical strength, he once again crossed his legs and meditated the Soul Upgrade Spell. After that, he continued chopping trees. He found that the duration of each slash was almost the same. However, the time he could recover was getting longer and longer. However, it was better than lying on the ground and resting. That was much faster.

About two hours later, Zheng Zinuo successfully cut down the first big tree in his life. He also stepped over the first tree in his life that he couldn't cross. He knew that from now on... He would truly step into the great path of cultivation that he dreamt of.

After cutting down the tree, Zheng Zinuo sat cross-legged again and meditated. He silently chanted the Soul Upgrade Spell to recover his strength. This time, it took him a lot of time. It took him about two hourglass to recover to his peak condition.

When he got up, he found that his whole body was filled with strength. It seemed that his soul power had increased a little, but he didn't know that his soul power had once again broken through to the fourth and fifth level. To increase his soul power by two levels in one day was truly shocking.

However, Zheng Zinuo only felt that his soul power had increased. He did not know how to measure the level of his soul power.

He found an empty space and planted the small sapling inside. Then he turned around and walked to the thick tree that was more than five meters long. Zheng Zinuo looked around. He muttered, "Such a big tree should not be light, right?" He turned around and looked at the mountain road back and forth. His heart was heavy. "It's such a long journey, and it's going up the mountain again. How long will it take to drag it up the mountain?"

"Come on! Zheng Zinuo!" Zheng Zinuo was not discouraged by this. After learning the Soul Upgrade Spell, his confidence had swelled. He stretched out his hand and stretched his muscles, then turned around and walked to the top of the cedar tree. He bent down and grabbed the head of the broken tree with both hands, dragging the thick branches to test the weight.

"Huh? It doesn't seem to be very heavy." Zheng Zinuo was slightly delighted. The original ten year old fir tree weighed about thirty to forty jin. When it was placed on the ground and dragged along, its weight would at least be halved.

Zheng Zinuo gripped a branch of the cedar tree with both hands and slowly walked up the mountain. Of course, even though it was so difficult to walk, he did not forget to follow the steps of the Yu's Step.

After walking for about a hundred meters, Zheng Zinuo was exhausted. He had no choice but to continue practicing the Soul Upgrade Spell with his legs crossed.

Just like this, he kept dragging the tree and walking slowly. When he was tired, he practiced the Soul Upgrade Spell to recover his strength. After he recovered his strength, he continued to walk up the mountain.

About two hours later, Zheng Zinuo had no idea how many times he had practiced the Soul Upgrade Spell and how many times he had recovered his strength. Finally, he dragged the big tree back.

Of course, for the last time, he didn't use the Soul Upgrade Spell to recover his strength. Instead, he kept a tired look on his face.

"Eh? Little Junior Brother, you're back so soon. You're much faster than we expected." Fifth senior brother Liu Wenyi had just finished washing the bowls and chopsticks. When he came out of the kitchen, he saw Zheng Zinuo drenched in sweat. He hurriedly went up to help Zheng Zinuo up and said, " You must be starving. We were just betting on when you would come back. I left some food for you, I'll go get some for you. Are you going to eat in your room or in the canteen? "

"Phew... Hu... Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother. I can do it myself. I'll do it myself." Zheng Zinuo forced out a smile and nodded at Liu Wenyi. He then used his hands full of blood bubbles to support himself up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Not bad, much stronger than I was back then." Liu Wenyi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Eh? Little Junior Brother, you're back! You're really fast!" Dongfang Shenyong heard the sound and ran out hurriedly. The other senior and junior brothers also came out one after another. The way they looked at Zheng Zinuo changed.

"En, senior brothers, sorry for disturbing your afternoon nap. I'm back." After resting for a while, Zheng Zinuo was a little better. He greeted the senior brothers and then dragged his tired body to the kitchen.

"Hehe... Second brother, third brother, you have lost. Give me your things." Dongfang Shenyong's face revealed a joyful expression as he looked at Zheng Zinuo's weak back in admiration. After that, he stretched out his hand and whispered to his second and third brother, Ouyang Qingqi and Chu Sifeng.

Both of them looked at each other in disbelief. Chu Sifeng was even more confused as she muttered, "How could it be so fast? From what I can see, Little Junior Brother is only eight years old. The martial soul has just awakened, and it only has the power of a third grade soul. Furthermore, he did not cultivate any Martial Cultivation Method, and his talent is so low. Can he be this fast?" After saying that, he unwillingly handed over a foot-long, jet-black and exquisite dagger.

"That's right. I was a few years older than Little Junior Brother. And my talent was also much stronger than his, and my soul power was also at the seventh grade. Although I didn't cultivate any Martial Cultivation Method like him, my soul force and age were much stronger than his. Just like that, I tried my best to complete the mission, but the first time I came back was in the evening. Furthermore, I was so tired that I almost died. It seems like Little Junior Brother is much stronger than me. Looking at it this way, I really suspect that Little Junior Brother isn't an orange martial soul. Third level soul force. " Ouyang Qingqi also agreed. After saying that, he took out a white round pill from his bosom and handed it over reluctantly.

"Give it to me. Hehe... Marching Pill, Coal Short Sword. This time, I'll make you bleed a lot. " Dongfang Shenyong grabbed the pill and the short sword and was overjoyed. He took three steps and two steps towards the kitchen.

"Eldest Senior Brother is simply a robber. Hmph! Poor my Marching Pill!" Ouyang Qingqi said in pain," That Marching Pill cost me more than three months of hard work, sigh! "

"Come on, second senior brother. That pill of yours is no longer of much use to you. Furthermore, as long as you find the raw materials, you can refine it again. As for me... My Coal Short Sword is the first weapon that I have just learned how to forge. It is a weapon that was forged using a very rare Dark Gold and Purple Ya Wu. That is my painstaking effort! If I were to take it outside... It is absolutely priceless! Oh my, my precious sword! No, I must win it back from Eldest Senior Brother in the future." Chu Sifeng felt even more pain in her heart.

At this moment, Zheng Zinuo had just finished washing his hands and served some food. He was preparing to take some food to his room to eat and rest. He did not know about the bet that had happened outside.

Seeing Zheng Zinuo take some food and prepare to go back to his room, Dongfang Shenyong came over and said with a smile, "Little Junior Brother, you really surprised me. Originally, I thought... You can only come back before noon (2 o'clock in the afternoon), but now you just came back after noon. And it doesn't seem to be as tiring as we thought. Tell senior how you did it. "

"Hehe..." Zheng Zinuo really liked this Eldest Senior Brother who sincerely helped him. He smiled and replied, "Eldest Senior Brother, I am hungry and thirsty now. Wait for me to drink some water first. After I finish eating, I will tell you."

"Oh, right. Of course it is important to be healthy. You should eat first. After you finish eating, go take a shower. I will boil water for you." Dongfang Shenyong said. Obviously, he had won the bet. He was in a very good mood.

"Alright, then I will have to trouble Eldest Senior Brother. I will eat here. After I finish eating, I will go take a bath." Zheng Zinuo didn't stand on ceremony and said straightforwardly.

After a while, Zheng Zinuo wolfed down all the food. He was cultivating the Soul Upgrade Spell while moving the trees, but he didn't feel hungry at all. Now that he was free, he suddenly felt hungry. He had eaten two big bowls of rice in an instant.

At this time, Dongfang Shenyong had just put the water into the pot to boil. Zheng Zinuo touched his belly playfully and said, "I'm full, so I feel much better. Hehe... "2

"En, it's good that you are full. Are you tired?" Dongfang Shenyong asked.

"Of course. I was so tired that I couldn't even get up. I still feel sore all over my body. Look at my palm, there are blood blisters everywhere." Zheng Zinuo said. He was afraid that Dongfang Shenyong would find out that he had cultivated the Soul Upgrade Spell. That was why he exaggerated his physical condition.

"En, it seems like you have been exercising all the time, right? Otherwise, a child as old as you would have just awakened the martial soul. To undergo such a heavy body transformation, let alone dragging such a large tree back home... Even if you cut down this big tree, you would probably be so tired that you wouldn't be able to move. How could he still be so energetic and eat two bowls of rice? Hehe... " Dongfang Shenyong said.

"Oh, yes... Yes, I often trained with my father and brother at home. " Zheng Zinuo answered nervously, afraid that he would give himself away if he was not careful. After all, he knew that if Feng Ziyan hadn't taught him the powerful Soul Upgrade Spell, It was just like what Dongfang Shenyong had said, he wouldn't be able to cut down the tree.

"No wonder. I knew that you are not simple." Dongfang Shenyong praised, "The few of them insisted on making a bet with me, but in the end, they all lost." After saying that, he took out a shiny black short sword and a white round pill and said, "This is the Coal Short Sword and Marching Pill I won from your Third Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother."

" Oh? What a beautiful short sword!" Zheng Zinuo was immediately attracted by the short sword in Dongfang Shenyong's hand. As for the Marching Pill, he did not feel anything. But he could not lose face to Eldest Senior Brother, so he casually asked. "This pill is called the Marching Pill? Is it useful?"
