43: Breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Training room.

Grandpa and Mom and Dad went downstairs, leaving Zhang Fan alone.

Zhang Fan picked up the memory crystal. It was resplendent and crystal clear, indeed looking like a piece of crystal.

“Is this thing naturally formed, or is it a product of technology?”

Zhang Fan was a little confused: “If it’s naturally formed, why have I never seen it, or even heard of it?”

“If it’s a high-tech product, Earth’s current technology shouldn’t be able to produce it, right?”

Zhang Fan didn’t dwell on this question and placed the memory crystal on his forehead.

“Zzzzz—”

An electric shock-like sensation swept through his body, and a series of images immediately appeared in Zhang Fan’s mind.

It was a creature that looked very much like a monkey, performing various movements.

These movements were not combat methods, nor were they fighting techniques.

Instead, they were methods similar to Tai Chi or the Eighteen Forms of Vajra, designed to stretch muscles and bones, clear meridians, and train internal organs.

It was just that the difficulty was much higher, even higher than the Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist!

Every move, every form, required extremely high demands on body flexibility and coordination; ordinary people simply couldn't practice it!

The most outrageous thing was that this cultivation method had a total of 108 movements.

A full set of movements would almost completely exercise all muscles, bones, internal organs, and other body parts!

“The Basic 108 Forms? The name is simple enough, but is this thing really basic?”

Zhang Fan’s experience was not extensive, but he could tell that the Basic 108 Forms was much more profound than the Zhu Yan Subduing Demon Fist!

“If it’s truly basic, then for whom is it laying the foundation?”

Amidst his surprise and confusion, Zhang Fan was quite happy.

He wasn't afraid that the Basic 108 Forms would be difficult; he was only afraid that it wouldn't be effective!

As long as the effect was astonishing!

No matter how difficult the cultivation method, Zhang Fan was confident he could learn it!

He had plenty of patience!

Zhang Fan devoted himself wholeheartedly, without distractions, learning move by move.

When he was tired, he rested; when he was hungry, he ate Titan Dragon Turtle meat; when he was thirsty, he drank diluted Divine Tree Juice.

As for the corpses of the Steel Sea Dragon, Nine-Headed Golden Flood Dragon, and Six-Winged Flying Serpent, they naturally had a better effect than the Titan Dragon Turtle!

Unfortunately, Zhang Fan couldn’t enjoy them!

The flesh of a Monster Emperor was as tough as steel, Zhang Fan couldn’t even bite through it, let alone digest it!

The meat of the Titan Dragon Turtle, on the other hand, was the most suitable food for Zhang Fan.

Zhang Xuanling had originally planned to supervise Zhang Fan’s training, but after two days, he found that Zhang Fan had been holed up in the training room.

Aside from eating, drinking, using the bathroom, and sleeping, he hardly rested.

This desperate effort made the old man unable to watch any longer.

“This child is too hardworking!” the old man couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Xiao Fan has been like this since he was little. You’ll get used to it!”

Zhang Hongcheng had long been accustomed to it.

“No wonder Xiao Fan’s foundation is a bit too solid; it turns out he built it step by step!”

Zhang Xuanling sighed, then glared at his son and said,

“Since Xiao Fan is so diligent, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“If you had told me earlier, I would have helped him awaken long ago. Why wait until now?”

Zhang Hongcheng’s mouth twitched.

Tell you earlier?

If it weren't for that treasure, I wouldn't even have been able to see you!

How could I tell you?

Besides, even if I told you, would you really help Xiao Fan awaken?

How many times have you, old man, seen Xiao Fan since he grew up?

And you have the nerve to blame me...

Although he felt aggrieved, Zhang Hongcheng dared not show it and could only obediently admit defeat: “It’s my son’s fault!”

Zhang Xuanling snorted coldly: “I’ll leave the corpses of the three Monster Emperors to you. You can consume them yourself!”

“Thank you, Dad!”

Zhang Hongcheng was overjoyed.

Monster Emperor!

It is a Yang God Realm Titan Beast, and its flesh and blood are all treasures.

For a Golden Core like Zhang Hongcheng, it was simply priceless!

If he consumed the flesh and blood of a Monster Emperor, his cultivation would surely be incredibly fast!

“You also need to strive harder and try your best to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!”

Zhang Xuanling’s expression was indifferent: “If you can become a Nascent Soul, I will pass the position of Chairman of Zhang's Group to you!”

Zhang Hongcheng’s spirit was greatly shaken: “Dad, are you serious?”

Zhang's Group was a group that his father had established single-handedly and held absolute control over.

It had been established for over forty years, and his father had always been the chairman!

As for the descendants of the Zhang family, not only did they not have a single share, but they were also forbidden by their father from participating in the group’s management.

So, even the three Golden Cores of the Zhang family had no power in Zhang's Group and could only receive money monthly.

His father suddenly changed his mind today and wanted to pass the chairman position to him?

“The group belongs to our Zhang family, so it naturally must be passed down!”

Zhang Xuanling said indifferently: “It’s a pity none of you are accomplished! Even if I wanted to pass it on, who could I pass it to?”

“I still stand by what I said: whoever can break through to Nascent Soul, I will pass it to them!”

“Dad, I understand!”

Zhang Hongcheng nodded heavily.

Zhang Xuanling said nothing more, looked up at the training room, and said,

“Cultivation emphasizes a balance of work and rest. You must remind Xiao Fan to rest appropriately and not overtrain his body!”

The old man left after speaking. His diligent grandson exceeded his imagination and did not need supervision at all.

...

Time quietly passed, and half a month went by without him realizing it.

Zhang Fan finally learned the Basic 108 Forms. Even with his eyes closed, he could perform them smoothly.

The effect of the Basic 108 Forms was excessively exaggerated.

Just three repetitions could completely consume the saturated Congenital One Qi, making the Qi Refining efficiency incredibly high!

Combined with the Divine Tree Juice and Titan Dragon Turtle meat, Zhang Fan’s cultivation speed could be described as rapid progress, advancing by leaps and bounds.

In just half a month, Zhang Fan crossed the late Qi Refining and perfected Qi Refining stages, directly breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Foundation Establishment Realm!

The Congenital One Qi in his Dantian liquefied, completely transforming into a liquid state!

Liquid Congenital One Qi was the most obvious sign of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

For the same substance, the density of a liquid is much greater than that of a gas!

The same was true for Congenital One Qi!

With the Dantian remaining the same size, the liquefaction of Congenital One Qi meant that the Dantian could hold more Congenital One Qi!

And more Congenital One Qi represented stronger endurance!

This could be seen from how Zhang Fan’s transformation time surged from five minutes to an hour after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

His endurance greatly increased!

“Finally, I’ve broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I can rest now!”

That night, Zhang Fan rarely stopped cultivating and lay on his bed to rest.

Zhang Fan played games while chatting with Da Mimi.

The game was the most popular one globally, “Monster World.”

“Brother Zhang Fan, actually, if you want to go to the Wilderness Area, there’s another way!” Da Mimi suddenly said.

“Tell me!”

“Monster Hunter assessment!”

Guo Mi said: “Any Titan Warrior must have a Titan Warrior certificate to enter the Wilderness Area!”

“This thing is like a driver’s license; it’s the credential for entering the Wilderness Area!”

“Didn’t you just say that Auntie doesn’t let you enter the Wilderness Area?”

“Then go get certified!”

“Anyway, getting certified is no difficulty for you at all!”

Zhang Fan’s eyes lit up.

“Good idea!”
