Life returned to its usual rhythm. Mu Chen's days fell into a simple routine: Primordial Qi Body Tempering, training his arm strength, and studying the Copper Bell. When he was hungry, he ate dry rations. When he grew tired, he circulated the Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique to restore his energy and stamina. Mu Chen was content. He could use a Cultivation Technique even as a Martial Disciple, which allowed him to forgo sleep and rest. Having fallen years behind everyone else, Mu Chen now seized every available moment to focus on his Cultivation.
Cultivation was always a tedious affair, and even more so when done alone, with not a single person to talk to. Occasionally, however, Mu Chen would pause his training late at night as familiar faces surfaced in his mind.
