Chapter 138: Body Like a Mountain Comet Crystal
After entering the river, the water reached Lin Zhen’s chest.
Before Lin Zhen could stand firmly, the waves brought by the waterfall hit him.
Lin Zhen didn't care too much. Such a small wave couldn't crush him. He held his chest high and faced the coming wave.
But he overlooked one point, that is, the riverbed was not mud, but smooth trees. He was hit by the waves and fell down immediately without standing firmly, choking on water several times on the spot.
“Cough cough cough!”
Lin Zhen stood up in embarrassment and wiped the river water off his face with his hands.
"My lower body is still a little unstable. When I was learning spearmanship with Zhang Guanyue, he once told me that if you practice martial arts without training your waist, your skills will not be high. A stable lower body is the most important thing for a martial artist. I have practiced the immovable as a mountain quite well, but that was on flat ground after all. It is not so effective on a slippery riverbed like this."
"It's just right. Not only can I feel the power of the river here, but it also allows me to practice my lower body well, so that I can remain as still as a mountain in any environment."
Another wave came, and this time Lin Zhen stood in a horse stance and held his chest high to meet it.
“Boom!”
The force of the river water hit him hard, and his feet slipped uncontrollably again, and he fell into the river again.
But this time Lin Zhen was prepared and did not choke on the water.
Two seconds later, Lin Zhen got up again and faced the arrival of the third wave unwillingly.
The result was the same. Although he was well prepared, he couldn't control his feet and kept slipping and falling. He fell into the river for the third time.
Lin Zhen did not stand in the river for the fourth time, but climbed to the shore to think carefully.
"Something is wrong. Although I had made preparations and stood in horse stance, when the river water came and the wave came, I couldn't help but instinctively shift my attention to the river water. I was still a little afraid of the wave."
"In this way, you can't concentrate, and the result of not being able to concentrate is that your feet will slack off, causing you to slip and fall. If you can't overcome your fear of river waves, then no matter how many times you try, the result will be the same."
Lin Zhen found the crux of the problem, sat cross-legged on the shore to rest, and adjusted his state to the end.
After about half an hour, Lin Zhen opened his eyes, feeling better than ever, and re-entered the river.
The wave came again, and Lin Zhen met it, and then his feet inevitably slipped. However, this time he stumbled and staggered back a few steps, but did not fall.
"No, I still can't help but feel fear. This difficulty is not easy to overcome. It is a human instinctive reaction and cannot be changed by one's own will."
Once again, the result was even worse than last time, Lin Zhen fell again.
After seven or eight times in a row, when Lin Zhen was knocked down by the waves again, he simply lay in the river and refused to come out.
With his eyes open, the river was surging before his eyes and his body was floating involuntarily with the current, but Lin Zhen completely put all this behind him, holding his breath and letting his body float.
"Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen! You've been reborn, but you think you're fearless, right? How come you can't even avoid a mere stream of water? This thing can't kill or injure you, it can only knock you down at most, so what are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid of choking on water? No, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Are you afraid of falling? Not at all. If you fall, just get up."
"I understand. Your fear does not come from your body, but from your mind. You are still a normal person. You know that the river water is coming, but you instinctively resist it. But don't you know that if you resist the river water once, can you resist it a hundred times?"
“Even if he is a god, and he is allowed to stand here for endless years, he will eventually be knocked down by the river, because the flow of water is endless. This is the principle that water drips through a stone.”
“My focus should not be on the river, but on my feet. As long as I believe that I am a mountain, a peak, then no matter how turbulent the river is, it can only flow around the peak, but it cannot do anything to the peak.”
"I am a mountain. I don't need to rely on my marksmanship or fancy moves, because my body is a mountain that will never collapse!"
When Lin Zhen thought of this, he felt like he was about to suffocate. He had been lying in the river for ten minutes! "Ha!"
Lin Zhen kicked the riverbed with his feet, jumped out of the river, and then took a few big steps back to the front of the river waves.
The waterfall in front rushed down violently, stirring up the river water and creating waves several feet high, which smashed down fiercely towards Lin Zhen.
This kind of force is the force of nature, and coupled with the slippery riverbed below, few people can resist it.
Whenever Lin Zhen faced the river before, he would instinctively close his eyes, but this time, he didn't close his eyes at all and just watched the waves hit him.
He exerted force under his feet, standing still like a mountain! Boom! The wave rushed over his face, and then went downstream with white waves.
After the wave, Lin Zhen's body was still as straight as a javelin, still standing there straight, motionless!
"Wow! I succeeded! This is like a mountain, this is like a mountain! This is the second level of being as still as a mountain that Zhang Guanyue told me. As long as you are as still as a mountain, nothing can shake you!"
"I can apply this state of mind to battle. As long as the opponent is much stronger than me, I can use this state of mind alone to make the opponent's confidence collapse involuntarily, and feel that they cannot defeat me. I don't need a spear in my hand to achieve this."
"Haha, success!"
Another wave came over, knocking Lin Zhen, who was unable to control his excitement, to the ground, falling awkwardly into the river.
But this time Lin Zhen stood up quickly, and chose to stand on the slippery riverbed. No matter how the waves surged, they could no longer do anything to him.
After dozens of attempts, Lin Zhen finally fully comprehended the concept of being like a mountain.
The biggest benefit of this state of mind for Lin Zhen is that it allows him to eliminate his fear. No matter what difficulties and obstacles he faces in the future, he will be able to face them calmly like a mountain.
I returned to the shore and rested for a while. When I looked up, I saw that the sky was actually getting brighter.
The gains of this night were enormous. Although it was very hard, Lin Zhen’s strength was greatly improved.
Lin Zhen did not continue to go into the water to try to practice Changhe. He knew very well that one must take one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. He knew the principle of steady progress.
After having a hard time eating some beef jerky in the morning, Lin Zhen's desire for food grew day by day.
After eating and resting for a while, Lin Zhen decided to explore the surroundings.
This place is rarely visited by people, so maybe there is a star crystal hidden there. The less people there are, the more likely it is that a star crystal will exist there, and the quality may also be higher.
After putting on his clothes, Lin Zhen picked up the bright silver gun and began to explore the surroundings.
This is located in the north of the canopy area of the star fruit trees. Lin Zhen first walked north. After walking for about four hours, he found that he was gradually approaching the edge of the canopy area.
Lin Zhen did not continue forward when he got here. If he continued forward, he would encounter the corrosive leaves on the edge. Lin Zhen did not want to rot here.
He returned along the same route and continued to move westward. After walking for more than an hour without finding anything, Lin Zhen returned along the same route again and began to move eastward.
This time, Lin’s hard work finally paid off.
He discovered that less than 500 meters away from his nest, on a tall and hidden branch, there were flowers blooming!
And it's not just one flower, it's three flowers!
"It's really a case of looking for something without any effort. It turns out that the star crystal is near my home. I took so many detours."
Lin Zhen happily climbed up the branch and saw the three blooming flowers.
After seeing it, Lin Zhen was immediately attracted.
On the three flowers, the star crystal on the left one was dragging a long tail and floating up and down. It was actually a star crystal that had entered the Flowing Star Star!
The one on the right is also a meteor crystal, and it looks much larger than the one on the left, as if it is about to break through to the comet level.
These were not the things that made him happy. What excited him the most was the flower in the middle. The meteor on this flower had changed. It became bigger and brighter, dyeing the surrounding bushes with a layer of silver light. The tail was also obviously brighter.
This is actually a comet-stage star crystal! Warriors take star crystals, and the star crystals of the star core stage and the flow stage are used for junior warriors to take, and the effect of taking them is also the best. If a junior warrior takes the comet stage, it is possible that his dantian cannot bear it. Even if he is strong enough to bear it, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The most suitable star crystals for an intermediate general are the star crystals of the Comet Stage and the Satellite Stage. If one takes the star crystals of the Flowing Stage and the Star Core Stage, the effect will not be very obvious and will be discounted because the star cores of those two stages are not enough to supply the Dantian of an intermediate general.
Lin Zhen is currently in the early stage of the fourth level of warrior, which is the right time to take Comet Week.
Although the Liu Xing card is somewhat useful to Lin Zhen, it is not very useful anymore.
"Well, of these three star crystals, I should take the comet-star crystal right away, and although these two flow-star crystals can be used, I still feel a little disappointed."
Lin Zhen looked around and felt that it would be difficult for anyone to come here easily, so he finally made a difficult decision.
He gently took off the star crystal from the comet star circle, and decided to keep the two star crystals from the rogue star circle for the time being and pick them up when they entered the comet star circle.
The one on the right looks like it will break through to become a comet in a few days. Lin Zhen is really absorbing a lot of natural resources now.
After he stood up the surrounding leaves to block the remaining two star crystals, Lin Zhen quickly returned with the comet star crystals.
His strength is going to improve again! The first guaranteed update, I am so tired, guess if there is more to come? You guessed it right, there is more, coming soon! (End of this chapter)
