Chapter 181 Training
Zhou Chen woke up early in the morning.
He had slept on a wooden bed with no blanket. Fortunately, the temperature was quite high recently and he had tough skin, so he did not feel any discomfort.
He carried a basin and walked out of the house. He arrived at the well in the middle of the camp and washed up.
After washing up, when he was returning to his room, he realized that the sisters had also woken up and were chatting with Lucy outside.
"Big sister, when will we have breakfast? I want to eat fruits!" Hilda's younger sister was looking up at Lucy and asking, her eyes filled with hope.
"Soon, soon. Wait a while more. There will be fruits for you. When everyone is here, we will distribute the food." Lucy patted the little girl's head.
"Heidi, you're too gluttonous! What will you do when you grow up?!" Hilda pretended to be angry and reprimanded her sister.
"It's okay. Kids need to eat more." Zhou Chen smiled at Hilda and looked at Lucy. "Lucy, if there's insufficient food or something lacking, let me know. I'll think of a way to obtain them. The operation and security of the camp will be left to you and Hilda. I'm going to the wasteland on the west to train for a day."
Although Zhou Chen had established this small camp, it was impossible for him to stay here all the time. Most of the trivial matters would be left to his most trusted robot, Lucy, and his new partner, Hilda, who he felt was reliable, to manage.
In fact, if not for the fact that the system had this side mission that concerned the quality of the rewards, Zhou Chen would not have bothered to establish this shelter camp. He might have directly entered a moderately polluted area to kill monsters and train.
"The sky is clear today. I'll just bring some water."
He looked up at the sky and found that the sun was still shining brightly. He could completely rely on the sun to solve the food problem. He returned to his room to get mineral water and quickly walked west.
He was preparing to find a place to train. He had wanted to do this for a long time, and now he finally had time.
The reason why he chose to the west was because that was the direction of the city occupied by the insects. He could discover any abnormalities there immediately.
Zhou Chen crossed three to four kilometers to the west. He arrived at an empty wasteland and began his boring training.
First, he drank some water and placed it to the side. Then, he sat on a patch of weeds that looked relatively clean and began to meditate.
The rising sun shone golden light on his face, making him feel warm and gradually feel full. This was the effect of the Light Energy Conversion passive skill.
However, Zhou Chen did not care about this at this moment. Most of his thoughts were focused on meditating according to the unique method of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art to gradually strengthen his Eight Desolates True Energy. A small portion of his mind was on guard against the surroundings.
Half a day passed while he was meditating. He opened his eyes only when it was past noon. His eyes revealed a bright light. He stood up and punched towards a large millstone-sized rock about fifteen meters away, making the stone explode and instantly turn to dust.
"My strength has clearly increased in just half a day of cultivation. The Pure Yang Overlord Body is indeed extraordinary."
If an ordinary person were to cultivate Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art, without considering the fact that their talent was too low and they could not cultivate it, they would not feel any increase in strength after cultivating for just half a day. However, it was different for Zhou Chen. He had the talent of the Pure Yang Overlord Body which increased his cultivation speed and breakthrough rate by about ten times. Therefore, as long as he cultivated seriously, his improvement speed would be very fast.
Sensing that his Eight Desolates True Energy had strengthened, Zhou Chen began to train in the basic moves of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art. The main purpose of practicing these moves was to let the cultivator familiarize themselves with controlling the ferocious Eight Desolates True Energy in their body, allowing them to correctly and quickly circulate the true energy. In the end, they would be able to use it freely.
Zhou Chen was soon engrossed in this training.
He would occasionally punch forward, causing visible ripples and explosions in the air. Sometimes, he would jump high and smash down with his palm, leaving a palm print the size of a building's foundation. Sometimes, he would turn around and sweep kick, sending a large area of weeds and stones flying.
When Zhou Chen did not return at night, Lucy drove over to check on him.
"I won't be going back tonight." Zhou Chen stopped practicing.
"Captain, you have to take care of your body. You can't exhaust yourself."
Lucy knew that Zhou Chen liked to train, but she did not really understand what his training was about. She could only think that this was Zhou Chen's special hobby, so she persuaded him not to be too engrossed.
"Don't worry, my body is in good condition." Zhou Chen smiled at her. "Is everything okay in the camp? Did any monsters attack?"
"Everything is good." Lucy nodded.
"Hilda has already fixed the electrical system. As long as the generator is turned on, the houses we are using will have electricity.
No monsters attacked today. Only a black insect approached the camp before flying away. It looks very similar to the one I saw yesterday. It might be from the city in the west. "
'The insect monster approached the camp? They detoured past me… Looks like they are not finished with me.' Zhou Chen immediately felt that the situation was not good.
"Alright, I'll train in the camp tonight."
After knowing that the insect monsters sent scouts, Zhou Chen changed his mind. He would return to the camp to prevent the insect monsters from launching a surprise attack while he was not there.
'I made quite a lot of improvement today. If those three insects dare to come, I will definitely teach them a lesson.'
Zhou Chen's Eight Desolates True Energy had become much deeper and could already be released outward of twenty meters. Its power had also increased correspondingly, making him feel that if he fought the three insects again, he would definitely be able to seriously injure them or even kill them.
Soon, Zhou Chen and Lucy returned to the camp in the jeep.
Because this place was only about three kilometers away from the camp, they arrived in three minutes. Then, Zhou Chen returned to his room and began to meditate.. He could not practice the moves in the camp; otherwise, he could easily cause large-scale destruction.
