Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Combat Power Rankings

“Has the Time Bell changed from a Mortal level Sacrificial Instrument to a Treasure level Sacrificial Instrument?”

A smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.

However, the progress bar also changed from one hundred to one thousand.

Originally, it could be upgraded in more than three months, but now it will take almost two years and eight months to upgrade.

Still acceptable.

Moreover, the Sword-Piercing Fist he practiced actually directly reached Major Completion.

It should be related to the Time Bell’s advancement.

The sound of the Time Bell could originally enhance the effect of comprehending the Dao, and the Sword-Piercing Fist was originally just the most basic fist technique. It’s normal for it to be promoted from Minor Completion to Major Completion, right?

Next, he carefully learned about the characteristics of the Time Bell that had become a Treasure Instrument.

He immediately beamed with joy.

This Time Bell did not need him to directly strike it to create a bell sound. He could use the Time Bell’s shadow in his mind to create a bell sound, which also had an effect.

The effect was much better than when it was a Mortal Instrument.

In addition, the Treasure Instrument Time Bell had its own defensive and offensive functions.

The method was very simple.

That was, the shadow of the Time Bell in his mind would absorb his spiritual power and release an invisible, offensive bell sound wave, which would have a deterrent effect on the enemy on a spiritual level.

The effect depended on the enemy’s cultivation level.

The defensive function was to use the Qi and Blood, Internal Breath, Internal Strength, or Internal Qi in his body to form a protective Qi membrane on the surface of his body, which could block physical and energy attacks.

Before he became a Ranked Martial Artist, the defensive and offensive functions of the Law Instrument Time Bell gave him a certain level of combat power.

Since the Sacrificial Instrument Time Bell had been upgraded to the Treasure level, Li Qian’s frequency of practicing fist techniques had greatly increased.

Because he did not need to directly strike the Time Bell, he could use the shadow of the Time Bell in his mind to create a bell sound for cultivation.

However, the closer he was to the Time Bell’s main body, the better the effect.

Once he was too far away, the effect would decrease significantly.

Not only the cultivation effect, but also the defensive and offensive functions of the Time Bell were related to the distance.

The closer the distance, the stronger the defensive and offensive functions. He could borrow the Time Bell’s main body to form a very strong amplification effect.

If he was far away from the Time Bell, he could only rely on his own spirit and Qi and Blood Internal Breath to activate the defensive and offensive functions.

“Practicing the Sword-Piercing Fist near the Time Bell, this Time Bell can provide me with the energy needed for cultivation, it should be eight or nine out of ten. ”

Li Qian finished practicing a set of fist techniques and calmed his surging Internal Breath.

If it were once or twice, it would be fine, but after practicing fist techniques every day, he clearly felt this change.

His appetite had greatly increased now, but no matter how much he ate, there was a limit. He could not eat Exotic Beast Dried Meat every day.

Now he was trying to break through the Ren Meridian. Every time he practiced fist techniques, his consumption greatly increased. Under normal circumstances, his current Medicinal Cuisine could not maintain such a high frequency of fist technique practice.

But he still persevered and did not experience any depletion of his potential or physical deficiency.

Instead, he felt that his physique was getting better and better.

Especially his height, which had reached 1.8 meters, a full 20 centimeters taller than his less than 1.6 meters when he first arrived.

The whole process only took more than four months.

“The current cultivation speed is much faster than I expected before. ”

A smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.

The Time Bell could give back some energy when he practiced fist techniques, which could make up for the deficiency of Medicinal Cuisine.

He was now looking forward to the scene after the last Regular Meridian was opened and his Internal Breath automatically transformed into Internal Strength.

What he was thinking now was whether he should tell Old Song?

“I definitely can’t tell him that all twelve Regular Meridians have been opened. I’ll just say that eight meridians have been opened. ”

Li Qian finally made a decision.

Although his cultivation speed was not slow, during the process of Internal Breath transforming into Internal Strength, there was a Strength Transformation Method, and the effect would definitely be better.

Suddenly, Li Qian stood on top of the Bell Tower and looked at the distant hillside. A strong figure with a bare upper body was carrying a thick, horizontal wooden beam and running.

“This person’s perseverance is really strong. He has persisted for more than a month. ”

Li Qian looked at the figure and stroked his chin.

Li Qian had no idea what that person’s name was.

For more than a month, Li Qian could almost see this person carrying a thick, horizontal wooden beam to train his physical fitness every day.

It was very difficult at first, but now it seemed much easier.

◈◈◈

“He should also be an Odd-Job Disciple, but I don’t know which hall he works in. ”

Li Qian thought to himself.

This person worked so hard, he must be thinking of becoming a Formal Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.

Training physical fitness and improving physical strength was helpful for martial arts practice. It belonged to Body Refinement Methods.

However, Body Refinement Methods were too difficult and painful, and few people could persist. It required persistent training day after day, year after year, rain or shine.

Once there was any slacking off, all the previous efforts would be in vain.

Whoosh!

Li Qian jumped down from the Bell Tower and walked to a large rock.

The person seemed tired, he placed the horizontal wooden beam vertically on the ground and rested with one hand supporting it.

“Brother, which hall are you from?”

Li Qian greeted.

Since coming to the Bell Tower, apart from saying a few words to Old Song, he had no one to talk to at other times. He was really bored.

The strong young man glanced at Li Qian, and after a moment of silence, he mumbled, “Night Soil Room. ”

Li Qian was stunned.

The working conditions there were much worse than his.

He must be someone who didn’t have money to bribe.

“My name is Li Qian, what’s your name, brother?”

Li Qian did not look down on the other party just because he was an Odd-Job Disciple from the Night Soil Room. The other party worked so hard, which showed that he was a person with aspirations.

“My name is Chen Yong. ”

The strong young man replied and said nothing more.

He was obviously a man of few words.

“Brother Chen Yong, it’s too hard for you to train like this. Moreover, without the cooperation of Medicinal Cuisine, it’s easy to damage your body. ”

Li Qian kindly reminded him.

“It’s not hard. ”

The strong young man shook his head with a simple and honest face, and a smile appeared on his face.

Li Qian could tell that this was a smile from the heart. Perhaps for the young man, being able to enter the Divine Sword Sect to cultivate, even as an Odd-Job Disciple, he was very satisfied.

After resting for a while, the strong young man, Chen Yong, greeted Li Qian and continued running with the horizontal wooden beam on his back.

For the next period of time, Li Qian would greet and chat with Chen Yong almost every day.

From being taciturn at the beginning, Chen Yong gradually opened up and was willing to talk more.

“There is a Combat Power Rankings among the Odd-Job Disciples. If you can maintain the first place in the annual combat power for three consecutive years, you can be exceptionally promoted to a Formal Disciple. ”

Chen Yong mentioned an important piece of information.

After Li Qian came to the Bell Tower, he never went down the mountain again and did not communicate with other Odd-Job Disciples, so he did not know about the Combat Power Rankings.

“So, Brother Chen Yong, you want to be on the Combat Power Rankings?”

Li Qian said.

“No, I just want to practice more and strive to become a Ranked Martial Artist before leaving the Divine Sword Sect, so that I can help my family. ”

Chen Yong scratched his head and shook his head.

Li Qian was speechless.

He thought that this Chen Yong should be a person with great ambitions, but it turned out that he only wanted to become a Ranked Martial Artist before leaving the Divine Sword Sect.

This was also normal.

Perhaps this was the goal of most Odd-Job Disciples.

It was too difficult to become a Formal Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.

Just the path of occupying the first place on the Combat Power Rankings for three consecutive years was almost impossible to complete.

If he didn’t have the System as his cheat, Li Qian would probably take the path of the Combat Power Rankings in order to change his fate.

But he couldn’t leave the Time Bell now, let alone give up his identity as the Bell Ringer. He had to stay in the Bell Tower all the time.
