After reading the contents of the book, Ling Yan then prepared to train his physical strength by running up and down the hill 100 times every day.
On the first day Ling Yan ran up and down the hill, Ling Yan was so troubled that he stopped for a few moments to rest.
One week later, Ling Yan was getting used to the physical exercises he did every day, even he started carrying a load like a pebble of 10 kilos to add weight to his training.
On the tenth day, Ling Yan who was about to do his physical training was questioned by his father.
"Yan'er, what exactly do you bring the pebbles for every day." Ling San asked his son.
"Actually I used these pebbles for the weight of the physical training I did on my father's hill, thinking instead of increasing the inner strength that would at times disappear, I'd better train my physical strength so that my body's foundation becomes strong." Ling Yan replied.
Hearing his son's answer made Ling San a little stunned, he then recalled a story where there was a great swordsman who could not gather strength in the way Ling Yan had in the past.
"Yan'er, there used to be a swordsman who had the same problem as you, but thanks to his strong determination and continued efforts the swordsman was able to become strong by relying solely on physical strength, he could even compensate for the strength of a master swordsman with just his physical strength." Ling San said of the swordsman.
After hearing his father's story, Ling Yan became so excited, despite not being able to break through to the 4th level, the article said, but there is still hope for him to be strong in the future even though he only relies on physical strength alone.
"Dad, then I will continue my physical training on the hill, I will definitely try hard to become a very strong swordsman in the future." Steady speech.
"Well Yan'er, I will continue to support you." Said Ling San smiling warmly at his son.
Arriving at the hill where he trained, Ling Yan then began his practice of picking up the pebbles while running up the hill 100 times.
Because he felt the burden he was carrying felt light, Ling Yan then added the burden until it felt quite heavy.
But carrying weights while running up the hill was not as easy as Ling Yan imagined, because the longer he ran, the more weight he felt.
Finally the sunlight was now almost overhead, but Ling Yan had yet to complete his training, currently Ling Yan had only completed 45 rounds and had yet to reach half of it.
The heat of the sun made Ling Yan slightly thirsty, yet he continued running and did not want to stop before completing those 100 rounds.
But by the time he had just reached round 86, he suddenly fainted and fell from exhaustion due to overstretching himself.

Ling Haotian who was tidying up the bookshelf in the Ling Clan library found Ling Xuilan was closing in on him.
"Dad, can I go out for a little walk." Ling Xuilan asked her father.
Ling Xuilan was seen holding a basket of food that seemed to be given to someone.
"Oh is that food for dad." Ling Haotian responded to his daughter's words by asking back.
"No, this is for Ling Yan's brother u.." Ling Xuilan instantly closed her mouth due to the flakiness.
"Hahaha it turns out that my guess is right, you do like the first elder's son." Ling Haotian's temptation to his daughter.
"Dad!!!!" He said while looking down in shame.
Looking at his daughter's embarrassed behavior, Haotian no longer wanted to tease her.
Hearing his father's words Ling Xuilan still lowered her head because she was still ashamed of what her father had said earlier.
"Xui'er, didn't you go see your Ling Yan brother." Temptation Ling Haotian again.
"Dad sucks." Hearing his father's words Ling Xuilan's face turned red with embarrassment, he then shouted and walked out of the library towards Ling Yan's residence.
After his daughter died, Ling Haotian only shook his head while muttering.
"Based on stupid kid. Ling Yan, I hope you can look after my daughter in the future." Mumbled.
Ling Xuilan was now walking towards Ling Yan's residence with a basket of food earlier.
But when he got there he did not find Ling Yan and only found the first elder practicing his fighting techniques in his yard.
Sensing Ling Xuilan's arrival, Ling San stopped his practice and greeted the girl.
"Good morning Xui'er, what made you come here, do you need anything. Oh yeah, how's your dad." Ling San asked the little girl.
"My father is fine uncle, he's in the sakte library, is Ling Yan's brother home." Ask Ling Xuilan.
"Oh you're looking for Ling Yan, he just happened to have not come home, he just said he wanted to train on the hill, but somehow he hasn't come home yet, maybe he's lying on top of that big tree." Ling San replied, knowing the habits of his son.
"Oh then I'll just follow him to uncle's hill, I say goodbye first." He said politely and passed towards the hill where Ling Yan practiced.
Ling San who saw Ling Xuilan's departure felt perplexed as he thought that the food basket he had brought was for her.
"I thought the food he brought would be given to me, it seemed like it was for Ling Yan, hahaha it turns out that my son also has a secret fan of hehehe." Said Ling San who chuckled.
Arriving at the hill, Ling Xuilan did not find Ling Yan lying on a large tree, instead he found Ling Yan was fainting near the burden he was using to train his physical strength.

After fainting for a while, Ling Yan felt that something cold was stuck to his head and felt that someone was trying to wake him up.
He faintly heard a voice like a woman calling his name.
"Sister Ling Yan, Brother Ling Yan, come to your senses." That was the sound that was heard in his ears.
Slowly Ling Yan began to open his two eyes, faintly looking like the face of a woman was holding her head and trying to wake her up.
After a while Ling Yan finally regained his senses from fainting and found Ling Xuilan in front of him.
Seeing Ling Xuilan being before him made Ling Yan startled and immediately jumped to the side with a slightly awkward feeling.
"Xui, what are you doing here." Asked Ling Yan.
"I actually came to Ling Yan's house to bring him a snack, but Ling San's uncle said Ling Yan's brother was here to practice, so I caught up with Ling Yan's brother here and found Ling Yan's brother unconscious there." Answer Ling Xuilan.
