Strongest Offline Cultivation

‘Damn! Did he just master the first stance in the middle of the battle? Now that I think about it, he wasn’t this proficient in the first stance a week ago. Did he start practicing hard after that day?’

Fu Chen was shocked when he saw the complete coating of Tiger around him. It was blazing like his martial spirit. And, it was much more powerful.

But, he quickly noticed a certain difference.

‘What is going on?’

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as her arrow got destroyed, she condensed another three arrows but on three different bows and shot towards him. Each arrow had the strength, speed, and sharpness as the previous arrow and each was targeted at him.

Zhu Tan quickly noticed a slight difference and clutched his palm together. It was a little hard with the coating but he just combined his hands and slammed on the middle arrow from the top.

As he slammed down, his body also bent and the arrows escaped just above his head. But, that didn’t end there.

She continuously shot more arrows and he continued to defend against those arrows. All this time, he was using his first stance. He was healing it with his Spiritual Qi so it didn’t break off completely but it did sustain a lot of damage.

‘Damn it! Why isn’t his Spiritual Qi running out? I have mastered the Spirit Bow Art allowing me to consume less Spiritual Qi. But, he just managed to do it in the middle of the battle and he has been continuously using it while I am only using my Spiritual Qi when I show arrows.’

‘So, why isn’t his Spiritual Qi running out? Should I give it one more try?’

Meng Yu gritted her teeth as she felt her Spiritual Qi running low but on other hand, Zhu Tan seemed completely fine. He was continuously using his first stance and healing it as well.

“What is going on, Elder Zhu? His Spiritual Qi isn’t depleting at all.” One of the disciples on the top of the building asked.

This made Elder Zhu proudly smile.

“That’s my grandson’s way to compensate for slacking off.”

“What do you mean?” Other elders looked at him with confusion and asked.

“Don’t worry, I am pretty sure my grandson will explain this to his opponent. Haha! He loves bragging about himself.” Elder Zhu laughed out.

‘Damn! What is going on? His Spiritual Qi should’ve been depleted by now. But, it feels like it hasn’t even gone down by a bit. So, what’s going on?’

On otheranother side, Fu Chen started panicking.

Originally, he completely believed that he could win with the help of his Martial Art but if someone manages to dodge or defend it continuously then he would run out of Spiritual Qi quickly.

Jian Shen was also watching it with his sharp eyes. He also didn’t understand what was going on here.

“Are you curious why can I use the Spiritual Qi like this?” Zhu Tan smirked and asked.

Although Meng Yu found it frustrating, she still nodded her head.

“Most of the cultivators are idiots, you know.” Zhu Tan proudly stated. His statement made the crowd angry but before they could say anything, he continued.

“After awakening their martial spirit, they just want to cultivate and cultivate. It feels like someone put a sword behind their head and if they stop, the sword will pierce their head.”

“Unfortunately, the reality isn’t that. If a cultivator stops for a moment and truly ponders about something, he can get it. Of course, I am a slacker.”

“I don’t like training martial arts. I don’t like training hard. And, I don’t like working hard to earn cultivation points. That’s why I did what suited me the best.”

“I slacked off. I beat the shit out of some disciples and got their cultivation points and I never trained in martial art. Of course, this is what everyone saw. But, do you know what I did?”

When he asked that question, the entire crowd went silent. Even the pin dropping on the ground could make a sound that can be heard through the arena.

“I explored my own body. It doesn’t require me to physically get up and train. It doesn’t require me to physically work. It just requires me to sit on the mat.”

“After the competitions, I awakened my martial spirit. I was frustrated that I didn’t get a chance to participate so I decided not to cultivate for a whole year. But of course, if I did that, then I wouldn’t win in the next year’s competition, right?”

“I admit I messed up by not training the martial art but who cares if you have an infinite amount of Spiritual Qi in your body.”

When he said that, Meng Yu’s eyes widened.

“W-what do you mean an infinite amount of Spiritual Qi? You are only at the second stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It’s impossible.”

“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! It is only impossible because you are thinking of Dantian.” Zhu Tan clicked his tongue a few times and continued.

“That’s why I said most cultivators are idiots. They tend to rush into cultivation as soon as they awaken their Martial Spirit. Of course, I would’ve been the same if I hadn’t realized it on time.”

“Body Cultivators and I have one thing in similarity. We are patient enough. We train our bodies so much that they can do extraordinary things that normal cultivators can’t.”

“Unlike all of you, I store most of my Spiritual Qi inside my cells. That means with the uncountable number of cells, I have almost an infinite Spiritual Qi.”

“Impossible! That’s just impossible. Even if you can store your Spiritual Qi inside your cells, they will just die each second and all of the Spiritual Qi will disappear.” Meng Yu shouted at him with disbelief in her eyes.

“You really should listen to someone else who cares. I said before body cultivators and I are similar. But, we also have differences. Unlike them, I am not physically strong and my cells do not grow stronger after dying.”

“But unlike them, my cells can stay alive for seven days. That means for seven whole days, my cells can store all of the Spiritual Qi I need. And after a week, I just need to refill them.”

“That’s how I reached the second stage in just a few days. Now, I have infinite mana and armor that can be healed with Spiritual Qi. Do you think you can defeat me?” Zhu Tan stared at her and sneered.

For a whole year, he didn’t train or cultivate but he just kept storing Spiritual Qi inside his cells and expanded their size and ability to live. Only Spiritual Qi can make it possible and with so much Spiritual Qi, now he is almost invincible in this competition.

“Oh my god! You have been hiding such a thing from us, Elder Zhu. This is a discovery that could shake the entire kingdom.” The elder standing next to Elder Zhu screamed with wide eyes.

“Hehe! Just because you know it doesn’t mean you can do it. First, you can’t do it properly if you have already started cultivation. Just to fill the dantian, it takes months, if you want to fill the entire body, it would take years.”

“It is only possible for the young people. And, my grandson still hasn’t learned a proper way to use it.” Elder Zhu shook his head and sighed.

On the ground, Fu Chen gritted his teeth and thought.

‘Damn! This bastard was using my cultivation points on purpose. He wasn’t just beating me because of any grudge or anything else. He was simply doing it because he knew he needed the resources to make this possible.’

‘I am going to get my revenge. Even if he has an infinite amount of Spiritual Qi, I will beat the shit out of him and win before my Spiritual Qi runs out. No matter what, I will defeat him but first.’

Fu Chen raised his eyes and stared at Jian Shen.

‘I must defeat him.’

“Damn you! Don’t be so full of yourself. Just because you have that much Spiritual Qi doesn’t mean you will win.”

Meng Yu gritted her teeth and released her Spiritual Qi. But, this time it turned red like the flames. Slowly, it turned into fire and took the shape of a spear.

She gathered all of Spiritual Qi and condensed a nearly two-meter-long flame spear above her. With the swing of her hand, she commands the spear towards him.

Zhu Tan sighs and takes a deep breath. The next moment, his body dashes towards the spear. He clenched his right fist and slammed on the tip of the spear.

“First Stance- Crushing Fang”

Crack!

His armor gets cracked on his right fist but he swings his body and condenses the bloody phantom of a tiger behind him. He opens his left hand and slashes the shaft of the spear.

“Second Stance- Pouring Blood Fangs”

Bang!

His slash makes the spear rotates until Meng Yu gets full control over it. But before she could do anything, Zhu Tan combines his palm and opens them, shooting out a massive energy beam.

“Third Stance- Tiger Cannon!”

Bang! Crack! Crack! Boom!

Upon the collision, the flame spear started cracking and slowly it reached its limits as it explodes. Slowly, the flames of the explosion die as Zhu Tan walks toward her.

Thud!

Meng Yu falls to the ground as he stares at her and said “You have no spiritual qi left. You lost!”
