According to Han Lang's estimation, with the assistance of the Tian Yan Fa, it shouldn't be a problem for Ma Long and the other two to cultivate the first level of the Heaven Tier martial arts techniques.
As for subsequent cultivation, it usually requires a certain level of strength from the cultivator.
For example, the Shen Nong Imperial Needle Technique that Han Lang practices requires reaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment for the second level!
The higher it goes, the higher the requirements become!
After all, controlling each silver needle requires a large amount of spiritual energy and a vast divine sense as a foundation!
Of course, the requirements for each martial arts technique are different!
It's also possible that the martial arts techniques of Ma Long and the other two have different cultivation requirements than Han Lang's Shen Nong Imperial Needle Art.
But this is Han Lang's problem to worry about!
The master leads the way, cultivation is personal! If the three truly lack talent and strength, no matter how anxious Han Lang is, there's nothing he can do!
While the three were desperately cultivating, Han Lang also had his own tasks to complete.
He needed to take advantage of these two days to refine the newly acquired three-story pagoda fragment.
"The fragment that the so-called Chaos Emperor gave me last time not only increased the space by about 30 square feet per floor but also greatly slowed down the flow of time within the three-story pagoda. Currently, the time flow for the three floors is 3 years, 5 years, and 8 years. I wonder what surprises this small piece of black iron will bring me this time?"
Han Lang said as he took out a small piece of black iron.
He looked at it from all sides, not knowing which part of the three-story pagoda this piece of black iron belonged to.
"No matter! Let's refine it first!"
With that, he immediately sat cross-legged, opened his sea of consciousness, and revealed the three-story pagoda that had been quietly floating within.
The three-story pagoda instantly sensed the presence of the iron piece and soon emitted a humming sound again.
Since Han Lang didn't know where the black iron should be installed in the three-story pagoda, he simply moved the black iron into his sea of consciousness space.
The three-story pagoda hummed even louder, and even the black iron seemed to have found its backbone, beginning to tremble slightly.
Han Lang carefully brought the two items closer, carefully sensing the changes produced by the black iron corresponding to various parts of the three-story pagoda.
Suddenly,
When Han Lang aligned the top of the three-story pagoda with the black iron, the black iron's trembling amplitude significantly increased.
Han Lang was overjoyed.
"Could it be here?"
Finding the position, Han Lang slowly brought the black iron closer to the three-story pagoda.
Suddenly,
With a "swish" sound.
The black iron was strongly attracted by the three-story pagoda, and with a "clang," it perfectly fitted into the position at the top of the three-story pagoda.
Like a stand-up collar on a piece of clothing, it perfectly adhered to one side around the top of the three-story pagoda.
From afar, it looked like an ear of a bronze ding or the eaves of a temple!
Han Lang was overjoyed and quickly controlled his divine sense to enter the three-story pagoda.
First floor, no change!
Second floor, no change!
Third floor, the area increased by nearly 20 square feet, reaching a space of one hundred square feet!
"Could this iron piece only belong to the third floor space of the three-story pagoda?"
Looking at the flying ear standing at the top of the three-story pagoda, Han Lang had this guess.
After all, after assembly, the first and second floors of the three-story pagoda had no changes!
"I thought all the fragments of the three-story pagoda would be like the previous one, increasing the space of each floor of the three-story pagoda simultaneously! It seems that the external structure and internal space of this three-story pagoda correspond to each other!"
Han Lang felt a little regretful, but also a little fortunate.
"Fortunately, it's the third floor whose time flow is slower; otherwise, this piece of black iron would indeed be too useless for me now!"
After confirming the space issue, Han Lang began to study the time flow problem.
To prove that the black iron indeed only targeted the third floor of the three-story pagoda, Han Lang deliberately planted a spiritual medicine seed on each floor again.
"This way, tomorrow I will be able to know for sure the specific time flow of each floor of the three-story pagoda!"
After doing all this, Han Lang began to wait with excitement.
However, this wait was exceptionally agonizing.
Bored, he didn't even know what else he could do with the remaining day.
"It's only one day; cultivating the Shen Nong Imperial Needle Technique isn't very meaningful, and the chance of breaking through cultivation is also very small. What should I do next?"
With Han Lang's current strength, which was infinitely close to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, coupled with the enhancement of the Shen Nong Imperial Needle Technique, he was confident that even against a mature early-stage Golden Core cultivator like Deputy Squad Leader Liu Xiaoxiao, he would have a seventy percent chance of winning.
In other words, he was very confident about the bet with Zhao Wu, or rather, the championship of the new recruit arena competition.
"As long as there are no more monstrous cultivators among the new recruits, I estimate that winning the championship of this new recruit arena competition is a sure thing! Since there's no one to play with me now, I might as well go and enjoy the scenery of the special special forces!"
No sooner said than done!
Han Lang immediately got up and walked out of the dormitory building.
Since all the new recruits were immersed in tense preparations before the arena competition, Han Lang didn't see anyone around even as he walked out of the dormitory building.
Just as Han Lang was about to walk further, he suddenly encountered a slender and heroic female soldier walking towards him.
Han Lang immediately recognized the person as their new recruit deputy squad leader, Liu Xiaoxiao. Just as he was about to escape, Liu Xiaoxiao saw him as well.
"That new recruit, stop!"
The uniforms of new recruits were different from those of old soldiers, so Liu Xiaoxiao naturally knew Han Lang's identity.
She was also extremely surprised.
At this juncture, why would a new recruit be wandering around?
Upon closer inspection, she immediately recognized the person as Han Lang from their squad, who had chosen a piece of scrap iron in the treasure pavilion and had left a deep impression on her.
"You're Han Lang, right? The new recruit challenge is imminent, why aren't you staying in the dormitory building to cultivate, and instead are wandering around here?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Han Lang had no choice but to brace himself and approach Liu Xiaoxiao, replying respectfully.
"Oh! I feel that my cultivation is almost complete! I just want to take this opportunity to relax and adjust my mindset."
"You feel?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's expression changed instantly.
"Do you know that the new recruit arena competition not only concerns your future in the special special forces but also concerns the honor of our new recruit squad, and even the honor of myself and Squad Leader Huang! If you feel you are ready, can't you review and fill in any gaps, and strive to win honor for our collective?"
"Ah?"
Han Lang didn't understand at all.
Liu Xiaoxiao's words sounded so much like what a proctor would say to students who finished their exams early in junior high school.
"Uh... it's like this, Squad Leader Liu. I feel that there's nothing in any aspect that needs to be reviewed or filled in. And even if there were, a day's time wouldn't be enough to fill in such gaps, so I might as well come out for a walk!"
