Legend Of The Dragon Phoenix Warrior 30 Breakthrough..... Another Breakthrough??

Chen Zhen was still circulating the energy from the Blood Lion spirit core. A bright red glow surrounded his body as energy fluctuations emerged and then borrowed back into his body. Mei Ling could see the pain he was in from his facial expressions he was making. She thought she should stop him from cultivating at one point when he began to bleed from his orifices. But she remembered her husband telling her to never interrupt a cultivator when they are having a breakthrough, it could be life threatening. Chen Zhen hair started to turn a darker shade of red before it began to look like a waterfall of blood cascading down his shoulders. Chen Zhen had a slim physique before, but now his muscles began to bulge and thicken. Chen Zhen was never considered tall at only 5'7" but now he grew a whole foot taller. As Mei Ling watched Chen Zhen went from a slim fit man to a hulking behemoth in just a couple hours' time. Throughout all this Chen Zhen never stopped eating more of the rank 6 Blood Lion meat.

All three of his dantians were filled to the brim with energy. Chen Zhen felt that ever cell in his body was full of energy. The clone never stop circulating his energy improving his cultivation bit by bit. Chen Zhen's body was being reborn thru this torturous process.

BANG!!

A loud bang sounded from Chen Zhen's body, afterward his body shrunk a little bit. Chen Zhen had just reached level 7 of body refinement. His dantian was like a large reservoir that was quickly being filled with energy again. Usually after breaking through to another level his body would feel full of energy, but this time his body felt starved and was ravenously absorbing all energy he was feeding it. As Chen Zhen continued cultivating Mei Ling left to take care of the kids. After he broke thru and was still absorbing insane amounts of energy, she knew that he would be fine.

As Chen Zhen was lost in the monotony of his eating and cultivating he began to think of the fight he was in with the Blood Lion. He realized that his speed was a very big hinderance during that fight. He began to see many holes in his fighting style and experience. He realized that he was strong but without any place to direct it. He felt like he had all the food in the world but no mouth to eat it.

"I need your help guys.", Chen Zhen asked Shanggu Feng and Lou Tian

"What do you need?", Lou Tian asked, "Are you having trouble with your cultivation? Is the energy getting out of hand?"

"No its nothing like that. I need real help with my fighting style. I have realized that my experience is too shallow. Fighting someone weaker then me will never allow me to improve. The fight with that rank 6 Blood Lion showed me a lot of my deficiencies. I need to improve faster then this if I'm going to make it back to my family as soon as possible.", Chen Zhen said seriously.

"Well its not that we don't want to help you per say…. It's just that we don't know exactly were to start. You are very independent, and you refuse to listen to common knowledge. You seem to figure things out on your own, so we thought we would just offer advice ever now and then when you needed it. To hear you openly ask for help is a little startling.", Shanggu Feng admitted.

"When I am done cultivating can you guide me on improving my speed. I feel that is my biggest weakness right now. I have ideas on how to use the Thunderfire I created, but it seems that if I'm not fast enough to use it then it doesn't how strong I am.", Chen Zhen said.

As the night pa.s.sed Chen Zhen continued to cultivate and the three of them discussed the best method to help train Chen Zhen. When they were just done discussing things another loud BANG! sounded out from Chen Zhen's body. Chen Zhen body shrunk a little more again. He now looked like sculpted gladiator. All of his muscles were not only powerful but flexible as well. There would be no problem for Chen Zhen to utilize all of his power without any restraint if need be. Chen Zhen stood up and his body emitted loud popping sounds. Chen Zhen clinched his fist and unexpectedly a fierce wind blew thru his room. Chen Zhen looked at his hand in astonishment. He wondered how powerful he had actually become now. Chen Zhen threw a casual punch and blew a hole in the side of his shack. The racket made from this simple punch aroused the curiosity of Mei Ling and the kids. Chen Zhen went to explain to them what happened, and accidentally ripped the door off the hinges. Looking around for where he should put the door, Chen Zhen looked very comical going around in circles holding a door in his hand like it weighed nothing. As Chen Zhen walked thru the doorway and smashed his head thru the wall at the top of the door. Now that he was almost seven feet tall he had to duck to leave out of the shack.

After hearing all the commotion that Chen Zhen was making, Mei Ling and the kids came out to see what was going on. As they saw Chen Zhen smash his head thru the wall while walking thru the doorway they couldn't help but laugh hysterically. Looking back at his shack and seeing his head shaped hole he left in the wall, Chen Zhen doubled over in laughter too. That night they ate together, and Chen Zhen got to know the kids a little better. At twelve years old the boy who was older by two years, the same as his son. The boy was already starting to practice martial arts, he was a level 2 body refinement cultivator. Apparently his father taught him cultivation methods when he was younger. The daughter was also starting to practice martial arts as well and was actually showing some promise. She had started after they arrived here in the clearing and she had already caught up to her brother. The kids were hoping to be accepted as disciples of the Shanggu Clan when they arrived at their new home. Mei Ling was very proud of them both, she really hoped their dreams would come true. After dinner Chen Zhen excused himself and went back to cultivate and come up with a training plan for himself.

The next morning Chen Zhen stopped by the training platform to increase the weight of his clothes again, and then left the clearing and went searching for a Specter Monkey.

"So Shanggu Feng can you tell me more about what a Specter Monkey is". Chen Zhen asked.

"A Specter Monkey is a smaller sized monkey with a long tail. Its body is completely white and at the higher ranks for this spirit beast it can completely go incorporeal. They are extremely nimble and agile. The Specter Monkeys in this area are around rank 5, which means they can go incorporeal for about a minute at a time before they have to rest and replenish their energy. If you can manage to catch one with your weighted clothes then you will have solved your speed issues.", Shanggu Feng said with a slight chuckle.

Chen Zhen travelled for most of the morning before he found the Specter Monkey territory. He concealed his aura how Lou Tian taught him to do the night before, and quietly climbed the nearest tree. As he reached the half-way point of the tree he could see a group of Specter Monkeys about 100 meters from his tree. Seeing them for himself they reminded him of spider monkeys form his world. The only difference he saw at first was they were solid white like Shanggu Feng had said, that is until he saw one phase right thru the trunk of the tree it was walking on.
