Titan lord Primus, was an existence from the primordial time. From the time of his creation as a mountain to the time of human appearances, billions of years had passed. Billions of years of absorbing spiritual energy, making everything about his existence screamed, primal.
And, just as it was for all titans, he was created with primordial innate techniques. One of the innate techniques, was the mountain bodyweight technique which allowed the physical manifestation of a primordial mountain before transformation to be mighty in strength and immovable. It was a mountain thing.
Like every other primordial mountain, lord Primus too was created with primordial techniques. He was a physical mountain before his transformation. As a mountain, he had been practicing the mountain bodyweight technique. Thus, it was of no surprise that the reversed True-world bodyweight technique initiated by titan lord Primus, was an imitation of the titan lord innate technique.
Since he had been practicing the reversed technique for a time now, Ju Feng's body had been undergoing true transformation. His bones were solidifying and his body getting stronger at an alarming rate, from the bodyweight practice and the turtle meat mixed with the water lilies he was consuming. Despite that, he didn't stop eating the turtle meat and the water lilies. In fact, once in his room, he ate them at every available moment.
What was the point of having plenty amount of meat if not for eating? He would eat the turtle, and then, eat the lilies.
Inside his room out of prying eyes, he would eat and practice. At least, the room he resided in, was big enough for him to practice the reversed True-world bodyweight technique.
Although, the reversed bodyweight technique was a very difficult and tiresome technique to practice, it came with great benefits which made the difficulty, bearable.
He made use of every free opportune time to practice. Especially, every morning that he had no lectures, he would clear the centre of the room and practiced the reversed bodyweight technique along with the shifting heavens hand martial technique. Afterwards, he would go out to the training ground to practice the swift spine technique.
On his way to the training ground the next day, he decided to check the geniuses of the Last-Sword that were practicing in the Youxiu section of the training ground. The last time he was here, he had been amazed by the techniques and moves that he saw, the displays of true disciples.
He inched closer to have a wider view of the area. He saw that, on the training ground, some of the disciples formed a parallel lines on the two sides of two disciples who seemed to be having a showdown. One was a tall and heavily built boy and the other was a boy of average height and built. But the most striking aspect of the boy was his long white hair, it was like a flowing stream of snow. And by the second look of the situation, it seemed they were engaged in a mock combat.
Martial art, mock combat or not, it guaranteed optimum entertainment. Suddenly, the heavily built boy moved, too fast for his stature as he sent forward a thunderous fist that caused spatial warping as it moved towards the white haired boy. The white haired boy didn't move, but at the last second, he extended his palm that seemed to be humming slowly and successfully blocked the thunderous fist. The impact knocked both of them back several steps.
"I told you I could take your moves head-on, Li Qiang. Any more moves?"
"Don't be so sure, Wang Lei."
With that he moved like lightning, reaching the white haired boy before the blink of an eye. His hands blurred as he delivered hundreds of thunderous fists from all angles. But before the fists could connect, the white haired boy appeared to turn in a circle. It was like a slow circle movement but it was actually a false image, a mirage, the actual image was like a vortex of palms blocking the fists. Before Ju Feng could bat an eyelid, the heavily built boy was already back to his original position.
"Impressive Wang Lei, your speed technique is truly impressive. In martial combat, speed can determine the outcome of battle."
"You flatters me Li Qiang. My speed wasn't greater than yours and your martial art technique is not inferior to mine either."
The combat had been too fast for Ju Feng to follow, he could only see a streak of light when the heavily built boy moved, but for a second, during their combat, he caught a glimpse of afterimages. Their movements, one was many yet one, the other was one yet many and he remembered his mother's portal steps movement.
With vivid imagination, he tried his own swift spine technique but with a little difference, he adjusted his movement and tried the technique again. He tried five more times and had a great success on the fifth attempt. Heavens might, he had just mastered the first level of the swift spine technique, the swift steps and gained insight into the second level, spine steps.
He pumped a fist in the air in pure delight.
"Yes."
The geniuses who were closer to where he was, had stopped training and were looking at him wondering what was going on with him. Realizing there were eyes on him, he quickly smiled and slowly moved towards the Zhanshi section.
In the Zhanshi section, he happily practiced the movement technique for a time before stopping. As he relaxed, he watched the Zhanshi disciples trained and shook his head.
The difference in levels was simply too big but he would bide his time.
Soon, he left the training ground and walked towards his dormitory. On his way there, he changed his mind and headed towards the marketplace of the sect. He had never been there before but since using a pill that could drive him a whole level, he would check it out.
