Kabanata 87: Pagsasanay

_Guanjun Palace..._

Guanjun Palace...

Zhao Feng returned back to his house and made the servant get a

bathtub of hot water ready, so he could put his Bone Strengthening

Powder in. This Bone Strengthening Powder was similar to the other

powder he had used before, it was just hundreds of times better.

Bumalik si Zhao Feng sa kaniyang tahanan at inutusan ang kaniyang

alalay upang ihanda ang mainit na tubig sa banyera, upang mailagay

niya ang kaniyang Bone Strengthening Powdersa loob. Ang Bone

Strengthening Powder na ito ay katulad ng isang powder na ginamit

niya noon, mas isang daang beses lang na mabisa ito.

_I heard that the Bone Strengthening Powder has extremely good

effects for body strengthening techniques. I wonder if it’ll be of use

for my Silver Wall Technique._ Zhao Feng started to soak in the

medicine water.
Narinig ko na ang Bone Strenghthening Powder ay may labis na

magandang epekto para sa boy strengthening techniques. Tingnan nayin

kung mayroon itong magagawa para sa aking Silver Wall Technique.

Nagsimula nang bumabad si Zhao Feng sa tubig na may medisina.

The boiling hot water could easily burn through the skin of normal

people, but it had no effect on Zhao Feng’s strong body.

Ang kumukulong tubig ay madaling makakapaltos ng balat ng mga

normal na tao, ngunit wala itong epekto sa malakas na katawan ni

Zhao Feng.

_Gulugulu!_

Gulugulu!

The water suddenly started bubbling and it turned into a purple-red

color like a flower blossoming. Zhao Feng felt a searing pain come

from his body, and it slowly seeped into his blood and marrow.

Biglang nagsimulang kumulo ang tubig at ito ay nagbago patungo sa

lilang-pula na kulay parang isang umuusbong na bulaklak.

Nakaramdam si Zhao Feng ng nakakapasong sakit mula sa kaniyang

katawa, at ito ay dahan-dahang pumasok sa kaniyang dugo at buto.

“What a powerful medicine!”

“Napaka makapangyarihang medisina!”

Cold sweat appeared on Zhao Feng’s forehead, but he managed not to

scream. According to what it said on the Bone Strengthening Powder’s

packet, normal seventh ranks needed to split one packet in half and

use them separately. Zhao Feng was confident that his Silver Wall

Technique was a top tier body strengthening technique and so he used

a whole packet instead.

Malamig na pawis ang lumitaw sa noo ni Zhao Feng, ngunit

nakayanan niyang hindi sumigaw. Base sa sinabi sa pakete ng Bone

Strengthening Powder, ang mga normal na seventh ranks ay

kinakailangang hatiin ang isang pakete sa kalahati at hiwalay itong

gamitin. Malakas ang loob ni Zhao Feng na ang kaniyang Silver Wall

Technique ay top tier body strengthening technique at kaya naman

ginamit niya ang buong pakete.

He didn’t know that his body had been changed by the mysterious eye,

and that he could absorb more of the medicine at once.

Hindi niya alam na nabago ng misteryosong mata ang kaniyang

katawan, at kaya niya nang sumisipsip pa ng mas maraming medisina

sa isahan.

_Peh Peh! Peh Peh!_

Peh Peh! Peh Peh!

Zhao Feng felt sizzles of heat being released from his left eye, which

cooled his whole body down and allowed him to absorb the medicine

at a faster rate.

Naramdaman ni Zhao Feng ang pagsagitsit ng init na pinapakawalan

mula sa kaniyang kaliwang mata, na nagdulot upang humupa ang

temperature ng kaniyang buong katawan at mahigop ang medisina

nang mas mabilisan.

The amount and speed at which he absorbed the powder was at least

twice the speed of others, which was why he felt that the medicine was

extremely powerful and pure.

Ang dami at bilis na paghigop niya sa powder ay halos dobleng bilis

kaysa sa iba, kaya naman naramdaman niya na ang medisina ay labis

na puro at makapangyarihan.

For a few hours, Zhao Feng suppressed pain which would make a

normal person faint.

Sa ilang oras, pinigil ni Zhao Feng ang sakit na kayang magdulot

upang ang isang normal na tao ay himatayin.

Half a day later, Zhao Feng finally adjusted to the pain. At this time, he

slowly circulated Returning Breath Technique, which helped him

absorb the medicine more evenly.

Makalipas ang kalahating araw, nakasanayan na ni Zhao Feng ang

sakit. Sa oras na ito, marahan niyang pinadaloy ang Returning Breath

Technique, na tumulong sa kaniya upang mas lalo pang mahigop ang

medisina.

One whole day and night later, Zhao Feng was finally able to take in all

of the medicine, but there were still some remnants inside his body.

Makalipas ang isang araw at isang gabi, sa wakas ay nakuha na ni

Zhao Feng ang lahat ng medisina, subalit mayroon paring ilang tira sa

loob ng kaniyang katawan.

“No wonder it’s a precious body strengthening item…"

“Hindi nakapagtatakang isa itong napakahalagang body

strengthening item…”

Zhao Feng felt that the increase in Silver Wall Technique was very

obvious. Before, Silver Wall Technique had just stopped progressing

when it had reached the sixth level.

Naramdaman ni Zhao Feng na ang halatang pagtaas ng kaniyang

Silver Wall Technique. Noon, tumigil na sa pagprogreso ang Silver

Wall Technique nang umabot ito sa sixth level.

This was exactly just like what Third Guard had said, Holy body

strengthening techniques were easy to learn, but as they progressed,

it got harder.

Ito ang ay tiyak na tulad ng sinabi ng Third Guard, madaling

matutunan ang mga Holy body strengthening techniques, ngunit

habang ito ay nagpoprogreso, mas nagiging mahirap.

It was good for Zhao Feng that his body had undergone a change by

merging with the mysterious left eye, which increased the rate

medicine was absorbed at.

Maganda para kay Zhao Feng na ang kaniyang katawan ay sumailalim

sa pagbabago sa pagsasanib nito sa misteryosong kaliwang mata, na

nagpataas pa lalo kung saan hinigop ang medisina.

After using one packet of Bone Strengthening powder, Zhao Feng

thought about the other resources that he had at hand: a Sun

Gathering Pill, three Blood Condensing Pills, and two Chi Storage

Pills.
Pagtapos gumamit ng isang pakete ng Bone Strengthening powder,

naisip ni Zhao Feng ang iba pang resources na mayroon siya: isang

Sun Gathering Pill, tatlong Blood Condensing Pills, at dalawang Chi

Storage Pills.

The Blood Condensing Pill also helped improve the body. He

remembered what Lord Guanjun had said deeply, that the nine ranks

of the martial path focused on the body.

Ang Blood Condensing Pill ay nakatulong din upang mapalakas ang

katawan. Naalala niya ang malalim na sinabi ni Lord Guanjun, na ang

nine ranks ng martial path ay nakatuon sa katawan.

The use of Chi Storage Pills was to purify one’s Inner Strength, and he

bought them for his Returning Breath Technique. The last Sun

Gathering Pill cost eighty thousand silver and it could increase the

cultivation of men who trained the Yang laws.

Ang paggamit ng Chi Storage Pills ay upang dalisayin ang Inner

Strength, at bili niya ito para sa kaniyang Returning Breath

Technique. Ang huling Sun Gathering Pill ay nagkakahalaga ng

walumpung libong pilak at maaari nitong maitaas ang cultivation ng

kalalakihang nag-ensayo ng Yang laws.

Body, Inner Strength, Cultivation. The four items Zhao Feng had

bought were focused on all three, with the first being the most

important.

Body, Inner Strength, Cultivation. Ang apat na gamit na binili ni Zhao

Feng ay nakatuon sa tatlo, ang una bilang ang pinakaimportante.

Next, Zhao Feng ate a Blood Condensing Pill, which could strengthen

the body. This pill also took Zhao Feng over two days to fully absorb.

Sunod, kinain ni Zhao Feng ang isang Blood Condensing Pill, na

kayang makapagpalakas ng katawan. Ang pill na ito ay umabot din ng

dalawang araw upang tuluyang mahigop ni Zhao Feng.

After taking in this pill, Zhao Feng felt both his body and Silver Wall

Technique increase in power.

Pagtapos kunsumuhin ng pill na ito, naramdaman ni Zhao Feng na

ang kaniyang katawan at ang Silver Wall Technique ay parehas

tumaas ang kapangyarihan.

According to his plan, the next ones he was going to eat were the Chi

Storage Pills. Because his body foundation was extremely strong,

Zhao Feng felt his Inner Strength increase by leaps and bounds. This

made him fully aware of the fact that the foundation must be solid.
Batay sa kaniyang plano, ang mga susunod na kaniyang kakainin ay

ang Chi Storage Pills. Dahil ang kaniyang body foundation ay lubhang

malakas, naramdaman ni Zhao Feng ang mabilis na pagtaas ng

kaniyang Inner Strength. Nagdulot ito upang mabatid niya ang

katotohanan na ang foundation ay dapat solid.

For the next half a month, Zhao Feng concentrated solely on Silver

Wall Technique and Returning Breath Technique.

Para sa susunod na kalahating buwan, nagtuon lamang si Zhao Feng

sa Silver Wall Technique at Returning Breath Technique.

The three packets of Bone Strengthening Powder, the three Blood

Condensing Pills, and the two Chi Storage Pills had all been used up.

Ang tatlong pakete ng Bone Strengthening Powder, ang tatlong Blood

Condensing Pills, at ang dalawang Chi Storage Pills ay lahat nagamit

na.

At this time, his Silver Wall Technique had reached the late stages of

the sixth level. At this level, Zhao Feng’s body was as strong as silver

and when he activated Silver Wall Technique, a faint silver glow would

appear on his body as if he was an invulnerable statue.

Sa oras na ito, ang kaniyang Silver Wall Technique ay nakaabot na sa

huling mga yugto ng sixth level. Sa lebel na ito, ang katawan ni Zhao

Feng ay kasing tigas ng pilak at kapag ginamit niya ang Silver Wall

Technique, isang matamlay na kulay pilak na liwanag ang lilitaw sa

kaniyang katawan na tila ba siya ay di-tinatablan na estatwa.

_Even if I don’t use Inner Strength, I can face normal seventh ranks

with no problems_ , Zhao Feng thought.

Kahit hindi ko gamitin ang Inner Strength, kaya kong harapin ang mga

normal na seventh ranks ng walang problema, naisip ni Zhao Feng.

This was only at the sixth level of the Technique. If he reached the

seventh, he could wipe out almost any Martial Master of the seventh

rank unless the opponent had also learned a Holy martial art.

Ito lamang ang sixth level ng Technique. Kung nakaabot pa siya sa

seventh, kaya niyang burahin halos lahat ng Martial Master na nasa

seventh rank maliban na lang kung ang kalaban ay may alam din na

Holy martial art.

Next, Zhao Feng was going to eat the Sun Gathering Pill.

Sunod, kakainin na ni Zhao Feng ang Sun Gathering Pill.

Zhao Feng left this until last because he wanted to strengthen his

foundation, which would help him absorb it better.

Iniwan ni Zhao Feng ito sa huli dahil nais niyang palakasin ang

kaniyang foundation, na maaaring makatulong sa kaniya upang

makahigop ng mas maayos.

Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng ate the Sun Gathering Pill. After reaching

the seventh rank, the progress of Zhao Feng’s cultivation had slowed

down. Immediately, Zhao Feng felt a surge of hotness spread

throughout his body.

Pinikit niya ang kaniyang mga mata, kinain ni Zhao Feng ang Sun

Gathering Pill. Pagtapos makarating sa seventh rank, ang progreso ng

cultivation ni Zhao Feng ay bumagal na. Dali-dali, nakaramdam si

Zhao Feng ng pag-agos ng init na kumalat sa kaniyang katawan.

The energy of this pill needed to be slowly released and absorbed.

Zhao Feng took more then seven days with Returning Breath

Technique circulating nonstop to take in all the energy.

Ang enerhiya ng pill na ito ay kinakailangang dahan-dahang

pakawalan at higupin. Inabot si Zhao Feng ng higit pa sa pitong araw

dahil sa patuloy na pagdaloy ng Returning Breath upang kuhanin

lahat ng enerhiya.
***********************

_Eight days later..._

Makalipas ang walong araw…

Zhao Feng had absorbed almost all of the energy of the Sun Gathering

Pill. At this time, the green light in the dimension of his left eye had

reached 2.5 meters.

Nahigop na ni Zhao Feng ang halos lahat ng enerhiya ng Sun

Gathering Pill. Sa oras na ito, ang berdeng liwanag sa dimensyon sa

loob ng kaniyang kaliwang mata ay umabot na sa 2.5 metro.

A month of hard work had not let Zhao Feng’s cultivation reach peak

seventh rank.

Hindi hinayaan ng isang buwan na paghihirap upang makaabot ang

cultivation ni Zhao Feng sa peak seventh rank.

_I can’t believe that Bei Moi’s almost at the ninth rank since

cultivation slows down so much after the seventh_ , Zhao Feng

thought in his heart.

Hindi ako makapaniwalang si Bei Moi ay halos nasa ninth rank na dahil

ang cultivation ay bumabagal ng lubha pagtapos ng seventh, naisip ni

Zhao Feng sa loob-loob niya.

It was good that his Silver Wall Technique had reached the peak sixth

rank, and it set a solid foundation for him, which gave him confidence

that he could reach the eighth rank in three months time.

Ito ay isang magandang bagay na ang kaniyang Silver Wall Technique

ay umabot na sa peak sixth rank, at ito ay nakagawa ng solid

foundation para sa kaniya, na nagbigay sa kaniya ng lakas ng loob na

kaya niyang makaabot ng eighth rank sa loob ng tatlong buwan.

_Hu!_

Hu!

Zhao Feng could feel the power within him as he breathed in and out.

The quality and quantity of his Inner Strength had increased

dramatically.

Nararamdaman ni Zhao Feng ang kapangyarihan sa kaniyang loob

habang humihinga siya paloob at palabas. Ang kalidad at bilang ng

kaniyang Inner Strength ay lubhang tumaas.

_No seventh ranks should be my opponent now. I might even to be

able to take on some normal eighth ranks, but there’s no chance of

winning if I meet a monster like Bei Moi!_ , Zhao Feng estimated his

strength.
Wala ng seventh ranks ang dapat na maging kalaban ko ngayon. Maaari

ko pang tapatan ang ilang normal na eighth ranks, ngunit walang

pagkakataong manalo kung makakita ako ng isang halimaw na tulad ni

Bei Moi!, sinukat ni Zhao Feng ang kaniyang lakas.

He could challenge those of the eighth rank, and he might even have a

chance at winning if they were normal cultivators of the eighth rank.

If they were prodigies like Nan Gongfan or Bei Moi, they would have at

least half-Holy ranked martial arts. He could not beat them, as the

latter also had the strength to challenge those of higher ranks. Bei Moi

had already killed a cultivator of the ninth rank.

Kaya niyang hamunin ang mga nasa eighth rank, at kaya niya pang

magkaroon ng tsansang manalo kung sila ay normal cultivators ng

eighth rank. Kung sila ay mga pambihirang gaya nina Nan Gongfan o

Bei Moi, sila ay halos nasa half-Holy ranked martials arts. Hindi niya

sila kayang talunin, dahil ang pangalawa ay mayroong lakas na

kayang hamunin ang mga nasa higher ranks. Nakapatay na si Bei Moi

ng isang cultivator na nasa ninth rank.

*****************

Zhao Feng finally came out of secluded mediation after a month.

Sa wakas ay lumabas na si Zhao Feng sa secluded meditation pagtapos

ng isang buwan.

At this time a servant reported to him, “Young master, while you were

in secluded meditation, Lady Zhao Yufei and Young Master Feng

Hanyue both came to find you.”

Sa oras na ito may nag-ulat na alalay sa kaniya, “Young master,

habang ikaw ay nasa secluded meditation, sina Lady Zhao Yufei at

Young Master Feng Hanyue ay parehas na nagpunta upang hanapin

kayo.”

_Oh?_

Oh?

Zhao Feng stretched his body while walking out of his house slowly.

Feng Hanyue’s house and Zhao Yufei’s houses were not far away.

Inunat ni Zhao Feng ang kaniyang katawan habang marahang

naglalakad palabas ng kaniyang bahay. Ang mga bahay nina Feng

Hanyue at ni Zhao Yufei ay hindi masiyadong malayo.

Soon, the three met together.

Hindi kalaunan, nagkita na ang tatlo.

“Brother Zhao, it seems that you’ve improved quite a bit in one

month,” Feng Hanyue gave a faint smile and he was slightly curious.

“Brother Zhao, mukhang humusay ka sa loob ng isang buwan,”

nagbigay ng bahagyang ngiti si Feng Hanyue at siya ay bahagyang

nagtataka.

“Still not good enough compared with Brother Feng.”

“Hindi pa rin kasing galing kumpara kay Brother Feng.”

Zhao Feng found that Feng Hanyue had almost reached the limit of

the seventh rank, not tarnishing the name of the top genius of the Ten

Sky Guards.

Nalaman ni Zhao Feng na si Feng Hanyue ay halos makarating na sa

hangganan ng seventh rank, hindi dinudumihan ang pangalan ng

pinakahenyo sa Ten Sky Guards.

Zhao Yufei had increased by leaps and bounds as well, reaching the

seventh rank.

Lubhang mabilis ding umangat si Zhao Yufei, umaabot sa seventh

rank.
Today, the three youths discussed their skills and the others wanted

to spar. Zhao Feng didn’t reject this notion either and sparred with the

two.

Ngayong araw, nag-usap ang tatlong mga bata tungkol sa kanilang

skills at ang iba ay nais makipaglaban. Hindi rin tinanggihan ni Zhao

Feng ang ideyang ito at nakipaglaban sa dalawa.

The final result was that Zhao Feng fought Feng Hanyue to a

standstill, while Zhao Yufei lost by a bit.

Ang huling resulta ay si Zhao Feng at si Feng Hanyue at lumaban

hanggang sa huminto, samantalang si Zhao Yufei naman ay natalo ng

kaunti.

Throughout the sparring, Zhao Feng used only sixty to seventy

percent power of his Silver Wall Technique and he slightly conserved

the power of his other skills such as Star Finger and Smoking

Transparent Step.

Sa buong laban, gumamit lamang si Zhao Feng ng animnapu

hanggang pitumpung porsyento ng kapangyarihan ng kaniyang Silver

Wall Technique at bahagya niyang isinantabi ang kapangyarihan ng

kaniyang ibang skills gaya ng Star Finger at Smoking Transparent

Step.
Even then, Zhao Feng was surprised at Feng Hanyue’s strength as the

latter may have hidden his strength, too. But the one who was most

shocked was Feng Hanyue; he wouldn’t have thought that after just

one month, Zhao Feng would be able to fight on par with him.

Kahit pa, nagulat pa rin si Zhao Feng sa lakas ni Feng Hanyue dahil

ang pangalaw ay maaaring itinago ang kaniyang lakas, din. Ngunit

ang pinakanagulat ay si Feng Hanyue; hindi niya lubos maisip na

pagtapos ng isang buwan lamang, kaya nang lumaban ni Zhao Feng

kasabay siya.

While they were sparring, Zhao Feng realized that both Feng Hanyue

and Zhao Yufei had trained in a few half-Holy ranked martial arts as

well.

Habang sila ay naglalaban, napagtanto ni Zhao Feng na sina Feng

Hanyue at Zhao Yufei ay parehas na nag-ensayo rin ng ilang half-

Holy ranked martial arts.

“Being disciples of Lord Guanjun, we can go to the Treasury Hall and

choose a total of ten half-Holy martial arts,” Feng Hanyue told him.

“Bilang mga disipulo ni Lord Guanjun, maaari tayong magpunta sa

Treasury Hall at mamili ng kabuuan ng sampung half-Holy martial

arts,” sinabi sa kaniya ni Feng Hanyue.

This news made Zhao Feng jump with joy. No wonder Third Guard and

Bei Moi didn’t seem to put half-Holy martial arts in their eyes.

Ang balitang ito ay nagdulot upang tumalon si Zhao Feng sa

kaligayahan. Hindi nakapapagtataka na ang Third Guard at si Bei Moi

ay hindi man lang pinagtuonan ng pansin ang mga half-Holy martial

arts.

The advantage they gained by being a disciple of Lord Guanjun was

just too big. Zhao Feng decided to go to the Treasury Hall when he had

time.

Ang pakinabang na natanggap nila bilang isang disipulo ni Lord

Guanjun ay napakalaki. Napagdesisyunan ni Zhao Feng na magpunta

sa Treasury Hall kapag mayroon siyang oras.

“Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that Nan Gongfan invited us to spar with

each other in three days, and Bei Moi will be there as well…,” Feng

Hanyue said.

“Oo nga pala, nakalimutan kong sabihin sa’yo na inimbita tayo ni Nan

Gongfan upang makipaglaban sa isa’t isa paglipas ng tatlong araw, at

si Bei Moi ay naroroon din….” Sinabi ni Feng Hanyue.
