The Swordsman of Heaven
Chapter 20: The Suffering Training Begins!
Chapters 20.
Long enough Zhao Feng tried to absorb the Qi energy that was around him, until in the end he stopped because he heard a voice that was very familiar to him.
"My disciple, your cultivation technique is very valuable and will be very helpful in your journey later, but unfortunately, you are still unable to master it."
In front of him was the Master who seemed to be smiling gently towards him. In addition, there appears a corpse of the Spritual Beast in the form of a Black Bear that is very large compared to ordinary bears in general.
"Yes, Teacher. I still haven't mastered it."
Zhao Feng let out a long sigh because after going through three years of training together with his first Master, he was still unable to learn the basics of such Cultivation Techniques. The Master was also actually aware of, why his disciple was so difficult to learn a Cultivation Technique or something like that. It is not a curse, but a blessing.
"No problem. We better just eat, for that matter, we'll solve it tomorrow."
Putting aside Zhao Fengs cultivation problem, the Master decided to immediately eat something to just fill his stomach. In fact, the Cultivators with high cultivation realms no longer needed food, in lieu of food, they would absorb Qi energy and purify it themselves, that was more than enough to keep them fresh and fit.
The same place, the same forest, the morning at last came, and the sun for the umpteenth time rose and shone upon this whole world with its glorious light.
Today was the first day Zhao Feng started his training, not knowing what method he should do later, the young man seemed very excited to start his training immediately.
This morning he started by running around the area around the forest for 50 full turns, quite heavy indeed, but he did it with great enthusiasm. The scorching sun is also not too hot, coupled with the surrounding conditions that are still very beautiful, making the beginning of this training feel not so miserable.
"Continue! Don't stop until the Sun is right over your head!"
From a distance, Zhao Feng could see the Master sitting on a boulder while eating a fresh apple. The old grandfather was looking at and watching Zhao Feng who was training hard, like watching a show.
Wiping sweat off his forehead, Zhao Feng again continued to run around the area around the Forest. Although he felt very tired, but he did not intend to stop at all, in fact, he had also undergone training like this when he trained together with his first Master, but still, he had, this exercise is very draining and quite difficult. While this is only the beginning, the beginning of his journey to become a strong man.
"Furthermore, it is still training to improve the quality of your Heavenly Dragon Bone, but this exercise is very much different from the previous one. So, prepare yourself."
After completing a full round of 50 times, Zhao Feng was still continuing his training, but his methods were different compared to the previous one. He stood bare-chested, in front of a large lake that was emitting white smoke from the water.
Zhao Feng swallowed his own saliva at the sight of the lake before him, as he already knew, what form of training he would undergo. The lake has a very beautiful view around, with very clear water. But strangely, no animals or creatures were seen around the lake.
The lake was no ordinary lake, and Zhao Feng was also fully aware of it. Surely there will be dangers there, but before he checks it, he will not know what forms of danger are in the lake.
Braving himself, Zhao Feng slowly began to approach the lake. The closer it is to the lake, the hotter it will be. His skin began to burn, but even so, he continued to try to get closer.
Cshhhhhhhhhhhh!
Zhao Feng slowly immersed one of his feet into the water of the lake, as a result, his feet immediately burned. It was very hot and sick, but he had to keep running this training, and this was all for his own good.
Cshhhhhhhhhhhh!
Zhao Feng soaked in the middle of the lake, enduring the intense heat and pain, the young man began to close his eyes to focus on improving the quality of his bones.
Cretek! Cretek!
From within his body, Zhao Feng could hear the sound of his bones creaking. He bit his own lips until they bled, in order to endure all the pain that Zhao Feng was feeling.
But unfortunately, Zhao Feng was still unable to run the training in full, not long after, the young man lost his consciousness and his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake.
...----------------...
The day changed, but the training was still the same. Zhao Feng started his day by running 50 times around the Forest where he practiced. Just like before, it was quite difficult, but he was still able to complete the full round 50 times.
After completing his first training, he now went on to carry out his third training. Different from the day before, Zhao Feng no longer needed to soak in the deadly lake, this time the Master was about to help him in strengthening his consciousness and soul power.
Originally, everything felt extremely calm and peaceful, there was only the sound of birds chirping Zhao Feng could hear. Until finally, he began to hear the sound of flute melodies that sounded very soothing and beautiful.
Zhao Feng fell asleep upon hearing the flute's melody, coupled with the extremely peaceful surroundings, as if making him feel like he was in Heaven. But suddenly, the soothing melody of the beautiful flute changed.
"Gurgh!"
Zhao Feng shouted very loudly when he heard the extremely painful sound of the flute melody. The melodic voice that had previously sounded beautiful, had now turned into full of suffering and was very, very bad.
Zhao Feng shouted very loudly while holding his two blood-splitting ears. Indeed, it was very painful, his soul felt like it was being torn apart, this suffering was far more than all the suffering he had experienced in his entire life.
The longer Zhao Feng lasted, the greater the pain he felt. He kept shouting very loudly, telling the flute melody to stop immediately. However, the flute melody did not stop at all, and continued to torment Zhao Feng with extreme agony.
In the end, Zhao Feng lost consciousness as soon as he could no longer feel the pain any longer. But behind the terrible suffering, there are actually also benefits and advantages tucked into it. With this, the young man will be far more acquainted with pain than ever before, no success and success, without going through the pain of struggle.
...----------------...
A week had passed, and a whole week had Zhao Feng stuffed with hard and very difficult training as well. But over time, he became accustomed, for the beginning of training, he was able to complete the full lap 50 times without any significant fatigue.
For the second exercise, Zhao Feng had also started to get used to the heat of the water and the illusion of sight he received while soaking in the deadly lake. Although not for long, it can only last about 1 hour, but it can also be considered as progress.
And for the last and most painful training, Zhao Feng could only last for about 5 minutes. Honestly, training in the development and strengthening of the soul is the hardest, the pain when the soul feels being torn is a very terrible pain, he said, even he himself had never once felt such severe pain.
After doing all three of the training, Zhao Feng was given direction by the Master to soak in a small pond that turned out to be in the depths of the Cave. Apparently, in the depths of the Cave where he and the Master lived, was hiding something very valuable.
It was a small pond with its water that was pure white and emitted an extremely pure Qi energy. The water also glows pure white, and is able to illuminate the surrounding area.
When Zhao Feng first took a dip in the pool, the sensation was incredible, and he could never forget. The sensation of comfort, warmth and calm, will be the only sense of pleasure that he will never forget.
Zhao Feng also no longer needed to purify every stream of Qi energy that he absorbed, because basically, the flow of Qi energy in the pond was extremely pure, so he didn't have to try to purify it himself. As a result, Zhao Feng was very quickly able to break through to the next Cultivation Realm.
Zhao Feng's activities to soak in the pond should also be limited by the Master, because Zhao Feng absolutely could not absorb the flow of pure Qi that was in the pond in such a large amount.
The restriction also had a reason, because, the Qi circle in Zhao Feng's Dantian was still very little. If until the young man absorbed too much pure Qi energy, then the circle on his dantian would bulge and could just make his entire Meridian break apart from being unable to store an enormous amount of Qi energy, moreover, the Qi energy that Zhao Feng absorbed was an extremely pure stream of Qi energy.
And if until that happened, then it was certain that Zhao Feng would be killed, or at his lightest, the young man would become crippled and would not be able to cultivate for all eternity. That is the reason why the Master also needs to limit his time to soak in the pool.
By nightfall, Zhao Fengs training was still not over. In closing of his training, he was ordered by the Master to hunt for dinner in the depths of the Endless Illusionary Forest. It was indeed very easy, but it would become extremely dangerous if he were to meet a Spiritual Beast.
It wouldn't be a problem if the one he encountered was an Early Spirit Level Spiritual Beast, but if it was a High Spirit Level Spiritual Beast up, then he would be in danger.
The Master also strongly forbade him to use the techniques he had mastered, he was only allowed to hunt with his natural abilities. Somehow, Zhao Feng also did not know the reason why the Master forbade him to use all of his Techniques.
Not without cause, the Master only wanted Zhao Feng to hone his own natural abilities, without the help of the Techniques of a Cultivator. With that, his battle skills in very difficult conditions will be honed, which will certainly help him greatly in his journey later.
Plus, Zhao Feng's Dantian and Meridian were still unstable after receiving various afflictions and pressures during training. Using a Technique like a Cultivator would be fatal, because it could be that his Dantian and Meridian would be damaged, and at worst, both of them could be destroyed and would make Zhao Feng die instantly.
Zhao Feng's training was indeed very difficult and painful, but it would all be nothing compared to all the responsibilities he was assuming. Indeed, he is suffering now, but in the future, all the suffering will make him understand more that all his suffering contains a meaning of its own.
For the time being, Zhao Feng did not know what the true meaning of his suffering contained, but he would know for himself when he had stepped foot into the world beyond.
With this, the Master would calmly give up all his responsibilities and hand them over to Zhao Feng. He was sure that his disciple would light the world from darkness for the umpteenth time. Believe me, the Sun will shine again majestically, casting out every darkness, and destroying every form of evil in the world. The Legend will come soon, and will defend every creature that upholds the truth in its soul.
