Chapter 332 Lifting The Ruler

[Ding]

[Quest: Become Strong IV - Killing Two Hundred Beasts in the Soul Realm]

[Time Limit: Two Days]

[Reward: Battle Package IV x1]

The notification instantly appeared in his mind the moment Chen Li opened his eyes, and it was already morning. "Sigh, the number of beasts I have to kill has doubled, but the rewards I've gotten from the packages are really good, so I have to finish the quest soon."

However, Chen Li only found a few women outside after he came out of the tent, and the other women were bathing in the river. But Sun Xing'er enveloped their surrounding area with a formation, which produced a dense mist to cover them, so the men wouldn't be able to peek at them.

Lin Qingzhu, Dongfang Wenxin, and Yun Zhi seemed to be busy preparing breakfast for them.

As for the men, they were also cleaning themselves before continuing their training later, but they went to the river area, which was quite far from their camp. contemporary romance

Chen Li approached them, hugged her mother from behind, and kissed her cheeks. "How do you guys feel after training and staying in this forest for a night?"

"Fortunately, this realm is different from earth, and the air here is also refreshing, so I can sleep very soundly." Lin Qingzhu replied as she leaned against his chest.

"Although I have never lived in a forest before, I still feel comfortable living here." Dongfang Wenxin responded by nodding. "However, my body is still sore after yesterday's training, but my injuries have almost recovered after Meiyi treated us earlier, and my stamina has also recovered after she gave us a pill."

Yun Zhi also answered him. "Even though those beasts are on par with our cultivation, we're not used to fighting, so we feel overwhelmed by them."

"It's fine; I was just like you all at first, and you'll get used to it if you train more often." The three women also understood that, and Chen Li spoke to them again. "However, those people are different from beasts, and they will definitely think of various cunning ways to fight us, so you still have to be careful after we return to earth, for I'm sure they will act against us soon."

Lin Qingzhu then told her son. "Anyway, Sister Mingyue and Wei'er want to return after breakfast, and Cai Yue will start working at your company today, so they have to give some briefings to her and the others, but they will come back here again."

"It's okay." Chen Li then released her mother from his arms. "They are still not used to fighting with beasts, so they can use the time to rest, and you all don't need to force yourselves either."

"I know."

Chen Li then moved away from the three women, and he took out the Herculean Ruler, but it instantly fell to the ground.

*Bam*

The three women were shocked after they saw it, especially since it was too big and too heavy. Lin Qingzhu, from a distance, asked him. "Where did you get such a huge and heavy weapon, Li'er?"

"I got it from Master Song's storage ring, and I tried using it for the first time." Chen Li replied as he squatted down next to the handle of the ruler, but he found it extremely difficult to lift it, and his face even became very red as his muscles bulged out. "Damn! This ruler is too heavy!"

Suddenly, Xiao Hei appeared beside Chen Li and used her aura to lift the Herculean Ruler, and she then spoke to him. "Master, the weight of this weapon is no joke, and its maximum weight is 1000 pounds."

"I know." Chen Li nodded in understanding, for he had read the description of the Herculean Ruler last night.

Xiao Hei then showed Chen Li how to use it. "However, you can use the red button at the bottom of the hilt to adjust its weight, so you can start from a weight that suits your current strength."

"En." Chen Li then pressed the red button a few times, and a notification appeared in his mind.

[The weight of the Herculean Ruler is set at 400 pounds.]

Chen Li immediately grabbed the handle, but he still had difficulty lifting that much weight, which caused him to stagger backwards. However, he immediately used his qi to stabilize his body, and he took a deep breath before trying to lift it one more time.

Xiao Hei shook his head and said to him. "I think you should reduce the weight by half if you don't intend to use your cultivation, or else you won't be able to lift it, Master."

"No." Chen Li rejected Xiao Hei's idea directly. "I've lifted 200 pounds before, so it won't do me any good if I lower its weight again, and I can definitely lift it after trying for a while."

Xiao Hei could only sigh that Chen Li was too stubborn, but she didn't say anything else, for she was sure that he wouldn't listen to her, and she silently watched him continue to struggle to lift the Herculean Ruler.

"Damn it! I wouldn't be a man if I couldn't lift this weapon!" Chen Li cursed loudly as he continued trying to do it.

Seeing him like that, the three women also sighed heavily, but they also had no intention of stopping Chen Li, especially since it would be useless.

Sometime later, those men and women had returned to their camp, but they were stunned to see Chen Li having so much difficulty lifting the Herculean Ruler, and his whole body was also soaked with sweat.

"Li Gege-"

"Shh." Feng Xian'er immediately stopped Yun Qing and shook her head. "Little Qing, try to pay attention to his expression, so you shouldn't disturb him for now."

"Hmm?" Yun Qing and the others only sighed after seeing Chen Li's expression, especially since he looked so focused and serious about doing it.

Feng Xian'er then spoke to them again. "Let's have breakfast first, and you guys can continue your training by fighting those beasts again."

As they enjoyed their breakfast, their eyes continued to glance towards Chen Li, and his vigorous effort to lift his weapon spurred their spirits. They hurriedly finished their food and left their camp right away, especially since they didn't want to fall behind him, so they decided to train even harder.

Since Xiao Kong'er and Xiao Huoli were going to the Five Divine Heavens, only Xiao Hei, Xiao Jianyi, Feng Bing'er, Chen Meiyi, and Sun Xing'er were guiding them to practice.

Meanwhile, Chen Wei'er and Yun Mingyue immediately entered the Tianyi Realm before returning to earth, and they hurriedly left to finish their affairs, so they could return to the Seven Moon Realm to continue their practice.

After he tried for some time, Chen Li finally managed to lift the Herculean Ruler, and he began to swing it slowly. "Sigh, I have to get my body used to the current weight, and I'll increase the weight little by little after that."

In the Di Clan, Di Chen frowned after her father stopped her from going to the Silver Moon Sect, and she asked him in annoyance. "Why did you stop me, Dad?"

Di Xun sighed softly and told her. "Last night, Long Wang informed your grandfather that people from the Nalan Clan were looking for them in the Southern Forest, which means they were already aware of your return, and they might have already hatched a bad plan against you. That's why I didn't let you go alone, and you can go with me to the sect."

"I see." Di Chen then asked him again. "Does that mean they succeeded in infiltrating spies into our clan again?"

"That's not possible." Yang Nianxue answered her first daughter. "After the incident that day, we have replaced our maids with new ones, and we have carefully checked their backgrounds."

"Hmm?" Di Chen raised her eyebrows after hearing that. "So how did they find out about my return?"

"Chen'er, you are too naive, you know?" Yu Shi asked her granddaughter. "Even if they don't have any spies within our clan anymore, that won't prevent them from spying on us, especially since they have many strong cultivators."

Di Chen nodded in understanding to her grandmother, and she remembered someone. "Could it be that they assigned Xie Tiezhu to spy on us?"

"We think so too." Di Xun answered his daughter with a nod. "After all, Xie Tiezhu is the head guard of the Nalan Clan, and he also has many unusual abilities, so they must have assigned him to capture you."

"In that case, you better get ready quickly, Dad! Those core disciples must be waiting for me now, so I have to meet them immediately." After Di Xun left the room, Di Chen asked her mother. "Where are Uncle Xuan, Aunt Qing, and the others? Why haven't I seen them since yesterday?"

"They've been going to the Qing Clan since yesterday, and we'll catch up with them later, for today is the banquet for the birth of Qing Hong's son." After she answered her first daughter's question, Yang Nianxue then asked Di Jing. "Where are you going, Jing'er?"

"Mom, I'm taking Hui Ling to the Southern Forest, and I want to train with Sister Xian'er and the others."

Listening to her answer, Yu Shi said to her. "In that case, you should contact Long Wang now and ask him to pick you two up, or Xie Tiezhu will hunt you down."
