Chapter 473: Test Your Physical Strength
No matter how talented a mortal is, it's impossible for him to completely render his Dao power useless, like a meat bun thrown to a dog that never returns.
and so.
It is highly likely that this person's physical body began to slowly "cultivate" from the moment he was born, without his awareness. Perhaps his physical strength is already completely different from that of ordinary people!
However, he himself probably doesn't know that.
This situation isn't entirely unusual. Perhaps he tried to cultivate and even joined some sect, but they probably didn't recognize his talent and were completely unaware that he actually possessed extremely strong cultivation abilities. After being repeatedly discouraged, he probably realized that he couldn't cultivate anymore.
Moreover, the path of self-cultivation is actually very difficult. No matter what, you need someone to guide you. Otherwise, going astray is a minor matter, but going astray and becoming possessed by evil spirits is a major one.
For example, truly entering the "Qi cultivation period" involves guiding Qi into the body.
Of all the rogue cultivators the old cultivators had encountered, nine out of ten had damaged their foundations by drawing in too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth because they lacked proper guidance…
The more the old cultivator thought about it, the more excited he became, and his gaze toward Gu Heng became fervent.
He actually stumbled upon such a promising talent; it's truly a stroke of luck that God has smiled upon him!
At that moment, he couldn't help but ask again, "Young man, what's your name?"
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment.
Upon discovering that he hadn't been knocked away, he immediately felt there was a chance for a turn of events and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Sir, my surname is Gu, and my given name is Heng."
"Hmm, Gu Heng, a good name."
The old cultivator's face was full of praise. Then he looked at the people who had intended to watch the show and waved his hand coldly: "Those who are not involved should leave immediately and not linger here!"
With such a promising talent around, why would he bother with those mediocre kids? They'd better get lost so they don't get in his way.
Those who had intended to take the opportunity to mock Gu Heng were immediately displeased. Moreover, now everyone knew that this young man was talented and had been valued by this old cultivator!
Although everyone wanted to see a good show, they were all given an order to leave, so they shut up and walked away silently.
But those around Gu Heng still looked on with great envy.
Becoming a cultivator means a completely different life from what it used to be; there are many things they envy.
Soon, the avenue was deserted, leaving only the two of them. "What did the old man say?"
Gu Heng felt that the old cultivator had already seen that he had cultivation, but not high cultivation. However, having cultivation and not having cultivation are two completely different things!
So he chased away all the scoundrels around him, probably because he felt those people weren't worth wasting time on, but he could!
"To be honest, young man, you must possess an exceptionally strong talent for cultivation!"
The old monk didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke frankly.
Gu Heng was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, how could it be fake?"
The old cultivator nodded. "But it's a pity. I'm just a Nascent Soul cultivator, I don't have that much ability, so I really can't see what your talent is, but without a doubt, it must be very strong!"
"Besides, you probably didn't know about this all these years, but that's alright. With enough talent, even if you waste some time, you can still stand out." Gu Heng nodded in satisfaction. The system really wasn't lying to him!
Knowing that he has a talent for cultivation is one thing, and Gu Heng also knows that he can cultivate. His main goal is to find out from the old man what level of cultivation he has now!
"Actually, sir, I always feel like I have some cultivation, but I don't know how much. You see..."
Perfect timing! Gu Heng seized the opportunity to back down.
"Hmm, you're wrong. This isn't cultivation level; it should be described as your physical strength!"
The old monk corrected him directly.
"Physical strength?"
"Yes, you don't know you have great talent, but talent is sometimes like that; even if you don't actively cultivate, it can still help you become stronger..."
“I have examined your dantian. There is no Dao power sea, but your physical body has definitely undergone a transformation! But this is not your cultivation level. It can only be said that your ‘physical strength’ is no longer limited to the level of mortals.”
The old cultivator spoke eloquently, his words shrouded in mystery, leaving Gu Heng feeling dizzy. He felt he only vaguely understood, yet he also understood that the old fellow probably hadn't seen through his true nature, and didn't even know what realm Gu Heng was at.
No way, no wonder they were sent out to recruit new people. The capable ones are probably already on the front lines fighting the demons.
However, he didn't dare to reveal it and continued to ask for advice respectfully and humbly.
He definitely has cultivation, and as for physical strength... well, before I was even able to cultivate, I was already working on the system's "body tempering" skill, and I was the first to max out its proficiency. After all, you need to be physically strong to do anything.
"Sir, how can I know my 'physical strength'?" Gu Heng asked.
The old cultivator pondered for a moment: "How about this, I have a few 'Sensing Stones' on hand, which can help you understand, young brother!"
As he spoke, he took out three round stones from his pocket, each one just big enough to fit in his palm. They were different colors, and you could tell from their luster that they were made of different materials.
"These power-sensing stones are specifically used by body cultivators to test their physical strength."
"The materials of these Sensing Stones are also different, and their hardness is different, but these stones should be fine for testing your physical strength."
These Power Stones were won by the old cultivator from a body cultivator in the Eastern Frontier Alliance.
of course.
Even for a body cultivator specializing in physical training, once their strength increases, things like Sensing Stones become meaningless; the highest they can get is only fourth-grade, and he has the top three. Giving this young brother Gu Heng, who doesn't even know he has cultivation talent, a small test is perfectly acceptable!
According to the old monk's estimate.
Gu Heng's current physical strength is definitely no less than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
I had attacked him before, but not with my full strength. After all, he only wanted to drive people away, not kill mortals. So the little bit of force I used just now had no effect on Gu Heng at all, which at least shows that his physical body is stronger than that of mortals.
Gu Heng picked up the leftmost blue Sensing Stone, squeezed it in his palm, and it crumbled into powder.
"...How do you calculate this?"
He was confused.
"This means your physical strength is already equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."
The old monk nodded.
Hmm, the fact that this first-grade Sensing Stone could be crushed with a single pinch means that Gu Heng's physical strength is even higher than he predicted, at least at the peak of Foundation Establishment!
Gu Heng felt a chill run down his spine.
Build the foundation!
He can actually arm-wrestle with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?
Not bad!
