Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Exploring and Strong Strength

Translator: 549690339

This time upgrading the breathing technique had brought Chen Sheng a strength increase equivalent to the total of his previous two upgrades.

Strength and Constitution both increased by 3-5

The greatest increase was Agility, a full increase of 4.6

But this wasn’t the most crucial part.

Chen Sheng looked at the skill column.

The Eagle Body Breathing Technique had disappeared.

In its place, a brand new skill emerged.

Eagle Body State.

This was the ultimate state of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique.

It was also a brand new skill that could grant Chen Sheng a tremendous power boost.

When Chen Sheng activated his Eagle Body State,

His body would instantly grow taller, becoming the 2.3 -meter-tall giant he had been before, with streamlined muscles and black palms.

Meanwhile,

In Eagle Body State, all his attributes would increase by half.

That is to say,

With Chen Sheng’s current basic attributes,

When he activated Eagle Body State,

All three attributes would reach around 30.

Just a few days ago, these numbers were almost unthinkable for Chen Sheng.

So much so that at present,

He had no idea just how powerful he had become.

And yet,

This was not what excited Chen Sheng the most.

On the surface,

Eagle Body State seemed to be just a strengthened version of the breathing method state.

In reality, there was a significant difference.

The Eagle Body Breathing Technique in its first two layers also had a breathing method state that could enhance Chen Sheng’s body attributes, similar to the Eagle Body State, but the effect was weaker.

However, the breathing method state was more like using a particular breathing frequency and muscle movement to tap into Chen Sheng’s hidden potential.

This state consumed an enormous amount of physical strength.

Even with the stamina recovery provided by the attribute panel during his training, Chen Sheng could only maintain it for at most two hours before needing to rest for a while. In combat, it might be even shorter.

Of course,

Chen Sheng had never tested how short exactly,

Because he had never encountered an opponent who could withstand his breathing method state for even a minute.

As for Eagle Body State,

It transformed Chen Sheng’s hidden potential into genuine strength.

That is to say,

Chen Sheng’s current visible attributes were just his ordinary state.

Most of the power within his body was dormant.

By activating Eagle Body State, his full strength would be awakened.

This was the most apparent difference between the breathing method state and Eagle Body State. One was potential,

And the other was strength.

As for Chen Sheng’s potential…

[Breaking Limits (Your body, through training, can be infinitely enhanced, and the training effect will not decline)]

It could be said to be endless!

If he could cultivate another breathing technique now,

He could activate it again under Eagle Body State.

With attributes around 30,

And then a full increase of one-third,

How terrifying a state would that be?

And if he were to constantly collect and perfect his breathing techniques in the future,

How strong could he become?

Just thinking about it, Chen Sheng’s breathing became somewhat labored.

As for where to obtain the breathing techniques…

At this thought,

Chen Sheng’s gaze fell on Xu Ying and his companion not far away.

Wasn’t there a ready-made solution right here?

At this moment,

Not far away, Xu Ying was diligently fulfilling his duty, staring unblinkingly at Chen Liang, fearing any foul play from his senior brother.

Chen Liang, on the other hand, returned Xu Ying’s gaze with equally resentful

He didn’t dare to speak, afraid of attracting Chen Sheng’s attention. But in his heart, he was constantly plotting how to escape from here and then, how to torment these three to death.

“Hey.”

At this time,

Chen Sheng’s faint voice reached them.

Whoosh!

Chen Liang immediately closed his resentful eyes.

Xu Ying quickly turned around, looking nervously at Chen Sheng. “Wha…What do you need, sir?”

“What kind of shitty title is that? Which dynasty are you from?” Hearing the other party’s address, Chen Sheng frowned. “My name is Zhou Li, just call me Brother Zhou.”

“Alright, Brother Zhou.”

Xu Ying’s addressing became very smooth.

Chen Sheng then nodded approvingly.

It was a good thing that the real “Brother Zhou” wasn’t here, or he would surely be jumping up and pointing at Chen Sheng’s nose and cursing.

“Go to the room, find that old man, get some paper and pen, and write down your sect’s breathing technique.”

Chen Sheng wasn’t afraid of Xu Ying writing nonsense.

Because as long as he practiced a little, he would know if it was genuine or not. If the other party dared to fool around, he’d just beat them to death.

“Yes!”

Xu Ying immediately puffed up his chest, shouting his reply.

Afterwards,

He didn’t hesitate for a moment and trotted toward the wooden house.

As Chen Sheng’s strength broke through,

Just being near him made Xu Ying feel so nervous that he didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

Being further away was something he longed for.

Ac

Xu Ying had no sense of belonging to the Rabbit Fist Sect, so naturally, he didn’t care about such things.

After Xu Ying left,

Chen Sheng looked at Chen Liang lying nearby.

Even with his eyes closed, Chen Liang seemed to feel the pressure from Chen Sheng’s gaze.

As if recalling the tortures he had experienced, his body trembled imperceptibly.

Step.

Step.

Even with darkness before his eyes,

Chen Liang could hear the footsteps gradually approaching his ears.

Making his body tremble even more violently.

“Get up.”

“I’ll take you to take a bath.”

It wasn’t until the voice sounded beside him,

That Chen Liang suddenly shuddered.

He no longer dared to feign death.

Chen Liang opened his eyes and hid the resentment in the depths of his gaze.

The sound of iron chains clashing rang out.

He stood up slowly with his head down, not daring to meet Chen Sheng’s gaze.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Sheng was expressionless.

He didn’t care about Chen Liang’s inner thoughts at all. With a tug of the iron chain,

Chen Liang immediately stumbled and followed behind him.

They arrived at the riverside. Chen Sheng pointed to the river water.

“Jump in.”

“Once you find the Heavenly Person Secret Treasure, your task is over.”

Hearing this,

Chen Liang looked at the river water, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

He had experienced firsthand the icy chill of the river water when he had been tortured the previous night.

Even with his strength, he probably wouldn’t last more than five minutes in the water.

If he exceeded that time, he could die.

But if he didn’t jump…

Chen Liang glanced at Chen Sheng’s back.

He knew he’d die right now.

At this thought,

“Inhale—”

Chen Liang took a deep breath.

Instantly, his figure grew taller, and his leg muscles suddenly became extremely thick.

Then,

He didn’t dare to hesitate any longer.

He directly leaped forward.

Splash!

Water splashed all around as he dived in.

Once he was in the river water, Chen Liang immediately felt the icy chill enveloping his body, invading deep inside him.

Fortunately,

in his Breathing Method state, the blood and Qi inside his body circulated rapidly, constantly fighting against the chill.

Chen Liang quickly adapted.

And…

He touched the chain around his neck, his eyes filled with a strange look.

Because of the buoyancy, the chain seemed to be somewhat loose.

Perhaps,

he might be able to find an opportunity to break the chain and escape from here.

With that thought in mind,

Chen Liang in the water revealed a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

He immediately pretended to search, preparing to swim towards the downstream position.

But at that moment,

Chen Sheng on the shore slightly pulled on the chain.

“Mmph!”

The chain suddenly tightened, causing Chen Liang’s eyes to bulge out, almost making him unable to maintain the Breathing Method state.

“I didn’t tell you to start from there.”

Chen Sheng’s emotionless voice passed through the river water and entered Chen Liang’s ears.

Damn bastard!

Sooner or later, I’ll make you wish you were dead! (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

Chen Liang’s face contorted in anger.

But in the end, his life was the most important thing.

He immediately stopped thinking about it, swam towards the direction of the waterfall, and began to search for anything unusual at the bottom of the river. Chen Sheng stood on the shore, watching Chen Liang’s every move.

The river was not deep, and the water was very clear.

No matter what Chen Liang did, Chen Sheng could see it all clearly with his eyes.

He ordered Chen Liang to go underwater mainly to find out if there were any risks.

As for breaking free from the chain?

Chen Sheng was confident that he could instantly rip Chen Liang’s head from his neck with the chain the moment he tried to escape.

Time slowly passed.

Every five minutes,

Chen Sheng would pull Chen Liang up from the bottom of the river for a short rest before submerging him again.

Just like that, half an hour passed.

Xu Ying came out of the wooden house and handed the copy of Rabbit’s Breath to Chen Sheng.

“Big Brother Zhou.”

“Hmm.”

Chen Sheng took the paper and put it in his pocket, planning to read it later at night.

Zhou Li was also wearing a thick cotton jacket, standing by the fire and cooking.

“Kid, have you found any clues?”

Having nothing better to do, Zhou Li sat down next to Chen Sheng, rubbing his hands and asking.

The temperature was especially low today.

He had been outside for less than two minutes, and his wrinkled old face was already red from the cold.

“What’s the rush, are you short on time?”

Chen Sheng glanced at him.

“If you know it’s cold, just stay inside. Isn’t it enough for you to have that kid cook for you?”

“Bah!”

“You smelly kid, your mouth can’t say a kind word.”

Even though he was shivering from the cold, Zhou Li’s mouth was still sharp. “I’m bored staying in the room, can’t I come out and breathe some fresh air?”

Chen Sheng didn’t respond.

Seeing that another five minutes were almost up, he grabbed the chain and pulled it gently.

Whoosh—

Chen Liang, his face contorted with pain, was pulled out of the water and splashed onto the riverside with a thud.

“Cough, cough!”

Looking pale, Chen Liang landed on the ground and couldn’t help but cough.

With his back to Chen Sheng, his face was twisted with rage.

That damn bastard!

He didn’t need help to swim back; why did he have to be pulled back like this to cause him more pain from suffocation!

He constantly imagined torturing Chen Sheng in his mind.

Only then did he feel slightly better.

But Chen Sheng didn’t care.

As soon as Chen Liang had somewhat recovered, he ordered him back into the water.

It was only half an hour later.

“Kid, come eat!”

Zhou Li shouted from beside the fire.

“I’m coming.”

With that said,

Chen Sheng was about to pull up the chain.

Suddenly, Hmm?

His gaze focused.

It seemed like he noticed something… At the bottom of the river,

Chen Liang aimlessly searched.

At this moment, he had searched all the way from the waterfall to the downstream position.

However, he hadn’t found anything out of the ordinary.

There were no fish in this river water, maybe not even microorganisms.

Aside from stones, there was only dirt.

Thinking that his time was almost up,

Chen Liang prepared to swim towards the riverside to avoid the suffocating pain of being pulled up by Chen Sheng.

However, as his gaze swept across a stone not far away, his swimming body suddenly stopped.

Confusion flickered in his eyes.

Chen Liang’s sight fell on a stone not far away.

He had searched there before and found nothing unusual.

But just now, he had clearly seen several small bubbles coming up from under the stone.

Something was off.

Why would bubbles appear in this lifeless riverbed?

Chen Liang was puzzled.

However, he quickly adjusted and pretended nothing had happened, preparing to swim back to the riverside.

But just then,

Chen Sheng’s voice came from the surface of the river.

“Go and move that stone.”

Damn it!

Chen Liang didn’t expect that even his subtle movements couldn’t escape the other party’s eyes.

Reluctantly, he once again started swimming.

When he arrived in front of the stone,

Chen Liang wrapped his hands around it.

With ease, he moved the stone aside.

However, the dirt underneath was still there, nothing unusual.

“Dig.”

But Chen Sheng apparently didn’t want to give up.

Chen Liang immediately started digging at the bottom of the river.

During the process, he was pulled up by Chen Sheng several times for a rest before he returned here to continue digging.

One meter, two meters.

Chen Liang dug deeper and deeper but found nothing.

Just as he began to doubt whether he had seen wrongly, suddenly, he inserted his fingers into the soil. His expression changed instantly.

Underneath the soil, it was hollow!
