Lin Ming arrived at the Testing Room in the afternoon, there were four or five people testing inside. Lin Ming went to an inconspicuous corner, aimed at the Testing Stone Stele, and threw a casual punch!

  Pong!

  The force stone monument shook violently, the light column jumped wildly, and finally stabilized at three feet nine inches.

  3,900 kilograms!

  It was just an accidental punch, and this result came out.

  Lin Ming was still satisfied with this achievement.

  At first on the day of the strength test, Ling Sen, the senior brother of Tian's house, demonstrated a casual punch and achieved a score of 4,900 kilograms.

  Lin Ming remembered it very clearly at that time, so this time he intentionally punched out a punch to see how much difference there was between him and Ling Sen.

  "Ling Sen is at the peak of physical training, fourfold easy tendon, half a foot into the tempering bone realm. I am just entering physical training threefold, and the gap between us is only one thousand kilograms. After I reach physical training fourfold, my strength will definitely surpass his!"

  "However, a warrior's showdown isn't just about brute strength; while physical power is my strong suit, I mustn't fall behind in other areas..."

  Thinking so, Lin Ming took a deep breath and completely relaxed his body. He stood with his eyes closed for a moment, adjusting his breathing to a subtle state, and the small units of his body gradually synchronized their breathing rhythms, reaching a certain frequency resonance. Then, Lin Ming suddenly opened his eyes, exerted force in his legs, and used his legs to drive his waist, causing his body to burst out from a stationary state in an instant.

  "Boom!" A fist smashed out, and the force-measuring stone stele seemed to have been heavily pounded, shaking non-stop! The light column first suddenly shot up to 4,200 catties, and then jumped back and forth between 4,200 catties and 4,300 catties.

  Generally, a warrior's punch on the force-measuring stone monument would cause the light column to reach a certain height and fall back down after a few blinks of an eye. However, Lin Ming's punch caused the light column to linger between 4,200 and 4,300 kilograms for a full twenty breaths!

  This is the true yuan vibration, the effect achieved by practicing force like silk!

  "My fist strength is between 4,200 and 4,300 jin, but relying on my refined internal energy, I can transmit this fist strength into the enemy's body, attacking the martial artist's internal organs, and it has a lasting effect! If a martial artist who hasn't fully cultivated their internal energy gets hit by one of my punches, they will undoubtedly die instantly. Even if they have achieved great success in cultivating their internal energy, or are even at the level of 'Easy Tendon', if they get hit by this punch of mine, they will still suffer severe injuries and cough up blood!"

  "This "Hunyuan Gong Dou Jing" records the practice of refining one's power to be as fine as silk, with a wondrous and terrifying destructive force! It's truly a fearsome technique! But that nameless senior's "Fen Shen Sui Gu Quan" seems to only have great destructive power, yet can't achieve the state of whole-body minute unit resonance, which is useless for cultivation, ultimately falling short by one level."

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Lin Ming arrived at the Seventh Imperial Sword Sect on the twenty-first day.

  At dawn, Lin Ming arrived at the Cold Pool Waterfall in the Seven Killing Arrays with his gun. The executive officer Xie Dong, who was responsible for guarding the formation, saw Lin Ming early and smiled to greet him: "Junior brother, so early, really diligent."

  "Good morning, senior brother." Lin Ming greeted politely. He liked to come to Hanshan Falls in the morning and evening because there were fewer people booked at these times, and he could usually get a spot.

  "In another quarter of an hour, the formation will be activated. Disciple Di is still in position three, at level seven difficulty." Xie Dong said.

  "Hmm... that's right, I want to adjust the difficulty to level 8 today." Lin Ming arrived at the third stage of physical training after reaching the Cold Fountain Waterfall for the first time. In fact, under the seventh level of difficulty, Lin Ming could reach a sufficiently cold water area if he dived deep enough. However, Lin Ming carried the Guan Hong Gun today, which weighed 820 catties, and if he dived too deep, it would be difficult to float up.

  "Huh? Eighth-level difficulty?" Xie Dong was surprised, eighth-level difficulty corresponds to eighty-first to one hundred and tenth place. Lin Ming actually wanted to challenge this level of difficulty? Just as Xie Dong was about to advise Lin Ming not to be reckless, he noticed the fluctuations in Lin Ming's true essence, "Younger brother, you've broken through?"

  Xie Dong naturally remembered that the last time he saw Lin Ming, he was still at the peak of the second heavy realm, and he didn't expect him to reach the third heavy realm so quickly.

  "Yeah, I just broke through recently."

  "Haha, congratulations, but junior brother, you just broke through, and the increase in strength is a slow process that requires time to accumulate. Are you sure you want to open the eighth level of difficulty?"

  "Hmm, I have a plan in mind, if it doesn't work out, I'll think of something else."

  "Alright." Xie Dong shrugged and agreed to Lin Ming's request.

  A moment later, Lin Ming walked towards the waterfall with his Guan Hong spear on his back. Only then did Xie Dong realize that Lin Ming's footsteps were extremely heavy, and every step he took on the mountain valley grassland left a deep footprint.

  Xie Dong's eyes narrowed, his gaze focused on the long box behind Lin Ming, "Such a long box, probably a gun or spear, one step at a time, such a heavy weapon, it must weigh 700 or 800 catties! This Lin brother actually chose a heavy gun and spear as his weapon, truly rare!"

  Lin Ming stepped into the formation and directly jumped into the icy pool with his Guan Hong spear on his back.

  The eighth-level difficulty of the Cold Pool was indeed a notch higher in terms of coldness, but Lin Ming had recently broken through and this level of coldness was just right for him.

  Lin Ming had previously jumped into the icy pond, and when he dove down, he could feel the powerful resistance of the icy water, like mercury. Now, carrying this eight hundred and twenty jin heavy long spear, Lin Ming sank straight down!

  Suddenly lifting a mouthful of true yuan, Lin Ming's descending body slightly slowed down, and then he kicked out with both feet in succession, carrying the Guan Hong spear to a protruding rock on the stone wall of the Cold Pond.

  With a burst of force on the rock, Lin Ming's feet suddenly popped out, and he stepped onto the second protruding rock. After several repetitions, Lin Ming arrived at the bottom of the waterfall with his Guan Hong spear!

  Waterfall icy pool, not only has an icy pool, but also a waterfall. This waterfall is equally icy and cold, and the water flows from a height of three hundred feet, with a force of no less than a thousand pounds!

  Under the waterfall, there are huge rocks submerged in water. These were specially brought by the creator of the Cold Pool Array for warriors to cultivate under the waterfall. Otherwise, how could such rocks exist under the waterfall? They would have been crushed by the endless impact of thousands of years!

  "What a huge impact!" Lin Ming stood on the rock with great effort, but found it difficult to stand firm. Although Lin Ming had chosen a place with relatively small water flow, the water of the waterfall seemed particularly heavy, and he was almost unable to straighten his waist.

  "Drink!" Lin Ming thrust his spear into the rock, grasping the shaft of the Gun of Gan Yu to steady himself. The waterfall's water, containing the power of a thousand kilograms, crashed against Lin Ming's shoulders and back, causing pain like being struck by a heavy hammer. Lin Ming felt as if his body was about to fall apart. Moreover, the waterfall's water was extremely cold, and due to its rapid flow, heat escaped even faster. Even with Lin Ming circulating the Chaotic True Primordial Scripture, he still felt the chill seep deeper into his bones, causing pain like being stabbed by needles.

  Lin Ming grasped the long spear, adjusting the tiny units of his body's breathing to bring himself to a state where his strength was like silk. Only then could he barely stand firm with the help of his vibrating true yuan force.

  With one breath, Lin Ming's true essence circulation gradually improved, and he himself became more stable.

  Lin Ming pulled out the gun that was stuck in the rock, but he didn't sweep it horizontally or chop it down. He simply held the tip of the gun in his hand.

  The spear is the king of all martial arts, sweeping, chopping, flourishing and thrusting. These spear moves seem simple, but it's not easy to master them! "Moon stick, year fist, long practice spear." This saying is not idle talk.

  A spear is a long-handled weapon, one inch longer and one inch stronger. With the same weapon, the spear technique is great, combined with the true yuan martial arts, it can exert a terrifying attack power and range of killing. Therefore, on the battlefield, the generals who are fighting basically use spears or halberds, while those who use swords can only be military strategists or literary generals.

  But on the other hand, an inch short, an inch accurate, although the sword is not as strong as the gun's attack power and range, it wins in accuracy, and the dagger is even more accurate. Therefore, assassins often use daggers! This makes it easy to hide, secondly, the dagger is accurate and easy to kill with one blow! No one has ever heard of an assassin carrying a spear swaggering through the streets.

  Therefore, the first thing to practice when practicing shooting is accuracy!

  Lin Ming had been practicing the Bone Refining Technique for many years, and whether it was drawing his sword or firing his gun, he had already become very accurate. In the Million Kill Array, he could accurately strike the rapidly flying spider silk. However, this was under completely unobstructed conditions. In actual combat, facing an enemy's martial skills, within the turbulent flow of True Essence, wanting to pierce through the energy flow with a single spear thrust and hit the enemy's vitals was not so easy.

  So, the first step in practicing gun is not to practice gun moves, but to stabilize the gun!

  At this time, Lin Ming held the rear half of the Gun of Rainbows with both hands, 70% of the gun body was submerged in the waterfall, resisting the impact of thousands of kilograms of water flow!

  The Guhong spear originally weighed eight hundred and twenty catties, the spear shaft was eight feet long, and the spear head was eight inches long. With such a length, most of it extended into the three-hundred-foot waterfall, plus the weight of the spear itself, how easy is it to hold steady!

  Even with Lin Ming's arm strength of 4,200 catties, the spearhead still shook violently!

  "Really heavy!"

  Lin Ming gritted his teeth, and in just a short while, he felt his arm go numb, the gun tip also being pressed down by the waterfall.
