Chapter 933

The black rock in front of them was square in shape and was as large as a mountain. This was something that the aboriginals used to test their skills. However, the prerequisite was that they had to use a unique weapon. For example, the long spear in Zi Chen's hand was completely isolated from elemental energy. When Zi Chen's attack landed on the black rock, it would show the extent of his comprehension of the skill.

At this moment, Gu Hu was saying that any random person would be able to defeat Zi Chen. It was obvious that he was looking down on Zi Chen. However, Zi Chen didn't sense any hostility from Gu Hu. He knew that Gu Hu was merely speaking the truth. However, this truth was truly unpleasant to hear.

Beside him, the others laughed and said, "Hey, let me try. I can defeat Big Brother Zi Chen."

"I can do it too. My last attack was twice as clear as Big Brother Zi Chen's."

Everyone laughed and stepped forward, eager to give it a try.

Skinny Monkey-Like shouted, "Let me do it, let me do it. I'll crush Big Brother Zi Chen. In the future, I'll go out and tell people that I once crushed Zi Chen, who killed the spirit body. I'm stronger than Zi Chen, stronger than the spirit body."

Shou Hou stepped forward, but Gu Hu kicked him away. Gu Hu thought to himself, "I'm the one in the limelight, not you."

When he kicked Shou Hou away, Gu Hu saw a figure appear in the distance. He was slightly pleased. He looked at Zi Chen again and said, "Zi Chen, it's not that I want to criticize you, but the comprehension of techniques is really a technical job. Since everyone is here today, and I'm in the mood, I might as well teach you a few moves."

Zi Chen smiled and asked, "Teach me a few moves. Do you know the Sky-Crushing Spear Art?"

Gu Hu said seriously, "I don't know the Sky-Crushing Spear Art, but you're obviously at a disadvantage. As long as you can master one technique, you can master all of them. The most important thing is refinement."

Zi Chen shook his head. "I don't understand."

"It's so profound. Of course you don't understand. But you don't seem convinced. How about this, let's have a competition," Gu Hu said.

Zi Chen looked at Gu Hu. "What competition? Battle power? Come on then."

With that, Zi Chen raised his hand.

There were three people in the arena whose expressions changed when Zi Chen raised his palm. The corners of Gu Hu's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Today, we're not competing with our battle prowess. It's meaningless to always be fighting and killing. Today, we're only competing with our comprehension of techniques."

"Technique comprehension."

"That's right. Let's attack the black rock. Whoever leaves the deepest mark wins," Gu Hu said proudly.

However, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "No, let's not compete like that. That would be too much of a blow to you. How about this, I'll strike once and leave a scar on it. As long as you can do the same as me, it'll be my loss."

Zi Chen smiled and asked, "Wouldn't that be a loss for you?"

Gu Hu patted Zi Chen's shoulder and said, "We are friends. What's there to be afraid of? Come, Skinny Monkey."

Skinny Monkey, who had been kicked out, came forward with a black saber in his hand. He handed the black saber to Gu Hu and said to Zi Chen, "Brother Zi Chen, all the best. I have high hopes for you."

Everyone dispersed and stood in the distance to watch the show.

Gu Hu waved his saber and with a flash of light, a ray of light flashed across the black saber and slashed at the black rock.

Instantly, a half-centimeter deep and ten-centimeter long scratch appeared on the black rock.

Gu Hu put away his saber and pointed at the scratch on it. "Among ancient techniques, this can only be considered as a beginner. Come, try this first and see if it's a beginner."

Cheers immediately came from the surroundings. Everyone was cheering for Gu Hu and encouraging Zi Chen to go forward.

"Gu Hu is clearly trying to embarrass you today." Devil Ape came to Zi Chen's side and whispered.

The smile on Zi Chen's face did not fade. He was in a good mood after breaking through. Since everyone was interested in playing, he would accompany them.

Zi Chen walked to the side of the black rock and looked at the mark he had left on it. It was only slightly worse than Gu Hu's. However, Gu Hu was very cunning. He seemed to know that Zi Chen would not be able to break through, so he deliberately made it deeper than Zi Chen's. He even said that it was a beginner. It was purely to disgust Zi Chen.

Zi Chen did not say much and struck again. It was the same move as before, but the swing of the spear was slightly different.

"Pfft."

The carvings on the black stone were twice as deep as before, surpassing the carvings left behind by Gu Hu.

When Gu Hu saw that Zi Chen's two attacks were so different from each other, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Big Brother Zi Chen, well done."

"Big Brother Zi Chen has won."

Those who were watching the show began to cheer.

In the distance, Gu Yue, who had arrived, did not go forward. Instead, she stood in the same spot and looked over with mixed feelings.

Gu Hu glared at the crowd and said, "What do you mean I lost? I was just demonstrating for Zi Chen. That can only be considered a beginner. Do you think that Gu Hu's comprehension of techniques is inferior to a beginner?"

After striking twice in a row, Zi Chen already felt the wonders of the black rock. It was indeed a good thing to test one's comprehension of techniques. Every strike he made could be clearly displayed on it. The areas where he was lacking in strength could also be clearly perceived.

He said directly, "Alright, give me another one. Let me try."

"Alright, you've only just reached the beginner level. Now, I'll give you one that has been at the beginner level for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, the saber flashed and another scratch appeared on the black rock. This time, it was deeper, close to two centimeters. Moreover, Gu Hu looked as if he had done it casually and effortlessly.

Zi Chen's eyes were filled with admiration. Gu Hu's comprehension of techniques was indeed very strong.

After that, Zi Chen closed his eyes and practiced the Sky-Piercing Spear Art in his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he struck again.

"Pfft." There was another scratch on the black rock. It was deeper than the previous one, but shallower than the one left by Gu Hu.

Gu Hu's face was immediately filled with pride. The others were also laughing.

"Big Brother Zi Chen, don't be anxious. Do it again. You will definitely defeat him." In the distance, someone was cheering for Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's expression was indifferent. He struck three times in a row. It was still the same action as before, but he had made some minor changes. The three attacks seemed to be about the same, and there was almost no result. Gu Hu said proudly, "Attack as you please. Don't talk about three strikes. Even if it's thirty, three hundred, or even three thousand strikes, you might not be able to defeat me. Techniques require comprehension. Comprehension.

Comprehension. "Before Gu Hu could finish his words, it was as if his neck was being strangled. He looked at the black rock in front of him with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. This was because when Zi Chen's fourth strike landed, the scratch he left behind surpassed his previous strike.

"How can this be?" Gu Hu's eyes widened in disbelief.

The others were also looking at this scene in astonishment. It seemed that this improvement was too fast.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Come on, let's continue."

"Alright, that's what you said." Gu Hu took a deep look at Zi Chen, then turned to face the black rock.

This time, he took two breaths to accumulate his strength before striking.

This strike left a mark that was almost an inch deep on the black rock. Looking at this mark, Gu Hu said, "This is considered as having comprehended the technique to the level of small success. Come and try it."

In Zi Chen's sea of consciousness, when his perfect spiritual senses were evolving the first move of the Sky-Piercing Spear Art, it was also breaking down this move. This move was broken down into movements by his perfect spiritual senses. There were a total of eighteen movements, and each of them maintained different postures. At the same time, these eighteen movements were each divided into eighteen smaller movements. There were a total of three hundred and twenty-four smaller movements. These smaller movements were broken down from the eighteen larger movements. Furthermore, every eighteen smaller movements could become one larger movement.

The perfect spiritual senses allowed Zi Chen to remember these three hundred and twenty-four smaller movements. After combining these smaller movements, they became eighteen larger movements. These eighteen larger movements formed the first move of the Sky-Piercing Spear Art.

Zi Chen struck out with his spear. The eighteen movements were done in one go, leaving a deep mark on the black rock. It was unknown whether it was intentional or coincidental, but this strike was deeper than Gu Hu's strike.

This time, this strike had reached this requirement. Everyone was stunned. It seemed that this kind of growth was too fast.

Zi Chen didn't know that his perfect spiritual senses had such a mysterious method. Previously, he hadn't noticed this special decomposition method. It seemed that it had just started. It seemed that his perfect spiritual senses had become purer.

The Perfect Spiritual Sense was an all-around analysis method that left no blind spots. It allowed Zi Chen to see the essence of the technique at an extremely fast speed. Not a single detail would be missed. Thus, he would be able to understand and comprehend the technique at an extremely fast speed.

After understanding the first move, Zi Chen's perfect spiritual senses in his sea of consciousness began to decipher the second move. It was still eighteen parts. After eighteen parts, it was eighteen parts again. A total of three hundred figures appeared in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness.

Gu Hu was comparing the two scars. His face was filled with disbelief. Zi Chen's understanding of the Innate-stage technique was definitely very weak. However, after a few strikes, he had reached the level of small success.

"Are there any more difficult ones?" Zi Chen looked at Gu Hu, who had an extremely ugly expression, and asked.

"Yes, of course. I'll show you one that has reached large success." Gu Hu glared.

"Large success? Gu Hu, are you sure you have reached large success in the technique?" Before Zi Chen could speak, Gu Xun and the rest began to question him.

"Hmph, you'll know if I've reached large success or not."

Gu Hu held his saber and stood in front of the black rock. He held the saber with both hands. The elemental energy in his body surged. His face was unprecedentedly solemn.

"Wind Breaker."

Gu Hu maintained this posture for a full five breaths of time before he let out a loud shout. After shouting, Gu Hu's body exploded. He held the saber with both hands and slashed at the black rock.

The glaring saber light blinded everyone. With a clang, the black saber landed on the black rock and exploded into sparks.

Gu Hu landed on the ground with his saber in a half-kneeling position. Sweat dripped from his forehead and his back was completely soaked. It was obvious that the previous attack had consumed a lot of his energy. It wasn't the consumption of elemental energy, but the consumption of mental energy.

Everyone's gaze shifted from Gu Hu to the black rock. When they saw the two inch deep saber mark, they couldn't help but gasp.

Gu Xun's eyes were filled with shock. He sighed, "I didn't expect his understanding of the technique to reach such a level. This is definitely the power of a large success in the technique."

Although Gu Mei didn't say anything, a strange light flashed in her eyes. On the surface, she wasn't calm.
