Chapter 33: The Enlightenment of Cultivation

When the afternoon session was over, Xiu went to the training ground.

Only then did he realize that there were a lot of people who were training on their own in the training ground, and no one was urging them. Some are students, others are instructors.

When Xiu saw such a scene, he realized that the gap between himself and others had come from this way. All along, his training was a punishment from Francis, forcing him to run long distances and so on. In the long run, Xiu regarded training as punishment.

And today he realized that it was not a punishment, but an opportunity.

An opportunity to free yourself from the word 'incompetence'. And I have been wasting time and opportunities.

Xiu clenched his fists tightly. During the two days of cultural class, he did not train himself at all.

He walked to the big stone for squatting, carried it with all his might, and began to run in circles around the playground.

"Huh? Isn't that repair? A student from the second team pointed to a small figure on the playground.

"Oh, why is he running with a stone on his back! Is his instructor struggling with him? Another said.

"You say, how many laps can he run?"

"I heard from the first team that he has good physical strength, but his strength is not good... It's okay to say that there are no stones, but I don't think I can run long with such a big stone. Ten laps. One shook his head and said.

But most people think that this number is a bit much, but they don't refute it.

Although everyone was talking about it, they didn't pay attention for too long and continued their training.

Xiu didn't pay attention to that, but adjusted his breathing, clutched the stone on his back tightly, looked ahead, and ran step by step.

Carrying a stone and running on your own are completely different feelings. Xiu felt that the distance of each step of the run became shorter, and it became more difficult. The point is that when his feet still have strength, his hands are running out of strength.

He gritted his teeth and frowned as he endured the soreness in his body. After only five laps, he felt that his physical strength was about to be exhausted.

I could have barely completed 30 laps...

Now you can too!

Shuichi gritted his teeth and continued!

With each step, from the soles of the feet and ankles to the knees and thighs, a feeling of soreness and weakness swept over the brain, as if in the next moment, the legs would fall to the ground.

Xiu shook off the beads of sweat on his head, and also shook off the feeling of powerlessness that his legs fed back to him.

Resist me!

Xiu ran eight laps.

When the footsteps landed again, a tingle of exhaustion came from his spine. The long period of carrying heavy loads left his spine a little overwhelmed, and a message of pain came.

Xiu twisted his waist to relieve the pain. Bear with me!

He staggered, his actions almost throwing him off balance.

Xiu ran eleven laps in a stinging pain.

"Xiu actually ran down? It's been more than 10 laps! "A few people who are not optimistic about cultivation are a little surprised.

"Maybe he'll be more persistent," one student said with some admiration. Then he looked at his companion to the side, "Hey! See the man carrying the rock? He was three or four years younger than us! Do you still have a face when he overtook you! Desperate! ”

This made the faces of the people next to him turn green, and they all accelerated their training speed.

Xiu didn't know that he seemed to make others cheer up, he only knew that he was very uncomfortable and miserable right now.

At almost every step, an unbearable sensation came from all parts of the body, weakness, exhaustion, soreness, tingling.

All the senses slowly mixed together, slowly surging into Xiu's brain.

Such slow pain is the most terrible, and it is possible for anyone to stop and choose to rest because they can't bear it in the process.

He persevered in such pain, gritted his teeth so tightly that even his jaw began to tremble, and continued to run.

fourteen

fifteen

sixteen

Seventeen.

Beads of sweat are constantly secreting from the roots of the hair, forehead, nose tip, etc., cutting the corners of the eyes and lips. Some of them flow into the mouth, bringing the sourness of sweat to the tongue. More dripping down the chin onto the clothes.

His hands were holding on to the rock, and he couldn't wipe the sweat, and the sweat slid down his face like a bug, bringing an itchy sensation that made him even more uncomfortable.

He felt like his boots were soaked with sweat, and his clothes were already soaked and clinging to his body.

eighteen

Nineteen...

Twenty!

The feeling of weakness in his body made him feel uncomfortable, his hands were almost unable to lift stones, his feet were almost unable to support his body, and all kinds of pain wrapped around him like a blazing furnace, constantly heating, heating, heating.

When all the feelings were at their most extreme, Xiu turned all the pain into a roar.

"Uhh!!!!!h

His goal. It's thirty laps! What would normally be a goal that would have been achieved with a little perseverance now seems out of reach. But...

But!

Xiu held his breath in his heart.

Isn't it just a stone, can he still kill me here! My father can't let me die in Kaslana's castle, what are you!

In the sudden anger, Xiu was like an angry little sheep, stubbornly running forward.

The students next to me were already a little worried.

"Hey, you say, how many laps does Xiu have to run..."

"I don't know, but I always feel like he's running like this... It's easy to go wrong. ”

"I'm only seven or eight years old, this amount of training... Can it only be said that she is worthy of Caslana's person? ”

These repairs are inaudible. Or rather, it is no longer audible.

His body is still too small, this kind of training, ordinary adults may not be able to survive, although he has Kaslana's blood, but after all, he is only seven years old. The most important thing: he's not as good as Karen!

His vision had begun to blur and blacken, his ears began to buzz, and even his steps began to shake. He's not running as steady as he used to be.

But in such a situation, he ran two more laps!

Twenty-one, twenty-two!

The performance here finally caught the attention of the instructors, and one of the knights couldn't help but nod when he looked at him.

"This little cub isn't in good health, but his willpower is good."

"It's only seven years old, right? It's not bad to have such stamina, okay! Enough to enter the regular Knights, right? How did it end up here? A knight next to him said suspiciously.

"I've heard Suzanne say that he has great physical strength, but terrible poor strength. Even in training here, he couldn't keep up. If he had joined the regular Knights, I was afraid that he would have to run from beginning to end. ”

"What's wrong with running, it's all over the body. What a good training to lay the foundation. ”

"Running is about the legs, what's the use of your hands being weak! It's better to lift weights! ”

"Running is about endurance, if you don't even have enough stamina, you don't have the strength to swing twice, so what is the killing of soldiers?"

"If you don't have the strength, are you going to use your strength with the Dead Honkai Beast to kill them!"

"Are you an ornament when we are handcuffs? Do you think anyone can take a hammer and smash it in the face of Honkaimon like you! ”

"Violence is a man's romance!"

"Muscle idiot!"

The instructors quickly diverted the conversation and began to discuss whether endurance or strength was important.

The Valkyries next to them were accustomed to it, and they didn't care about the knights at all, but stared at Xiu tightly.

"Such gray hair... It's from the Kaslana family, right? ”

"The instructor's clansman?"

"He's at the limit of his form. If you run any further, you may collapse. If you fall," the Valkyrie frowned, "the stone will weigh down on the spine." ”

"Are you going to stop him?"

"No, see how far he can go. But I think we'd better get closer to him and catch him if there's anything. ”

"I think we just run right behind him. The people of the Kaslana family deserve it. ”

"Agreed."

The Valkyrie instructor put down the equipment in her hand and ran after Xiu. They thought that they could rescue if Xiu couldn't hold on, but in the eyes of the students, it was different.
