Chapter 8: Cultivation (II)

It was as if hellish training was frantically torturing Gong Hao's body and mind.

Lancelot was like a complete devil, and he didn't care if Gong Hao could withstand the super-intense training he had set.

In addition to having to be chased by the dire wolf, Gong Hao had to do extreme exercises such as 500 weighted squats a day, 500 weighted pull-ups, 3,000 kilometers of weighted crawls, 1,000 powerful side kicks, and so on.

But that's nothing. Other trainings made him almost dead.

Hammer a stake: Within five hundred punches, he must break a hardwood stake as thick as an arm with his fist, or he must start all over again. Each time, his hands were beaten bloody, his skin was open, and even the white bones of Na Sensen could be seen. But even then, if the stake is not broken, he must continue to drive.

Block and dodge training: To put it bluntly, let Lancelot beat Gong Hao hard. This guy's punches and kicks are as fast as lightning, and it is impossible for Gong Hao to block and dodge at all. But Lancelot demanded that even if a fist was slammed into his face, he should not close his eyes, but do everything possible to capture his movements, while his body should try to experience and sense the presence of the fighting spirit as much as possible in this tense situation. This is to train his reflexes and body coordination with high-intensity hitting.

In diving training, Lancelot will personally press Gong Hao's head and stuff him in the water, so that he can use his body to comprehend the feeling of internal breath when he almost suffocates to death.

In this way, all kinds of means, almost every kind of training can kill Gong Hao, but Lancelot uses all the means together, and even doesn't give him time to rest at all.

The high-intensity training quickly drained every bit of physical strength in Gong Hao's body, so that in the first few days, he couldn't even stand up without even passing a single training.

However, Lancelot had no mercy, and every time Gong Hao fell to the ground, he would kick him fiercely, shouting at him to get up, or he would cut off his head.

His expression doesn't look like a joke.

But it's also strange to say, every time Lancelot kicks Gong Hao, Gong Hao feels as if a warm air flow is coming from his feet, entering his body, helping him quickly recover his strength.

He tried to grasp the current, but it always disappeared in a short time.

Gong Hao knew that that was vindictiveness.

Unfortunately, it was not his own, but given to him by Lancelot, whose purpose was only to make him recover a little, and then continue to fight hard.

However, perhaps it was induced by Lancelot's fighting spirit, or it could be the effect of high-intensity exercise, and gradually, Gong Hao really felt a trace of strange air flow in his body.

Compared with Lancelot's huge and strong fighting energy, the little fighting energy generated in his body was faintly like a glowing fire comparing the sun and the moon. If it was before, maybe Gong Hao and Ben would not have noticed its existence.

However, after experiencing Lancelot's vicious ravages one after another, he was gradually able to feel the existence characteristics of the fighting spirit, so that he could quickly grasp its pulse, and quickly use the methods taught by Lancelot to feel and experience.

It was in this situation that Gong Hao finally understood why he wanted to improve his fighting spirit through this training method.

When his physical strength was exhausted, he could clearly feel that the trace of fighting energy in his body was rapidly transforming into strength in his body, supporting him to continue training. He constantly consumed the trace of pitiful fighting energy generated in his body, and overdrew everything he had with his tenacious will, and the self-protection function in his life took effect, and the endless fighting spirit was stimulated in this way.

It's just that if the power that the high-level samurai is inspired by is like a raging river, then the circulation of fighting qi in poor Xiuyi's body is like a tiny drop of water in a faucet.

Lancelot said that everyone in the Wind Continent is born with a trace of weak fighting energy, which is a gift from God, or it may be the nature of their life in the Magic Continent. But this gift is very limited and does not make much difference. However, high-intensity training makes people's bodies constantly consume and regenerate, and the fighting qi in the body that is constantly used will increase to a certain extent.

This is because overloaded training is actually injuring the human body, and only a stronger fighting spirit can have a protective effect. The instinct of life is self-preservation, so the fighting spirit in the body will grow spontaneously and rapidly because of this phenomenon. If Gong Hao couldn't sense its existence before, on the one hand, it was because he lacked substantive experience of Douqi, and on the other hand, because the Douqi in his body was too weak, but when it gradually grew stronger, it was not so difficult to sense it. In particular, Lancelot kept instilling a trace of fighting qi in his body, walking in the meridians, so that he could grasp the existence of this qi more clearly.

Almost every famous samurai on the continent has actually used this training method, and as the fighting energy increases, they also continue to increase their training intensity. If the physical exertion does not reach an overload standard, the body's sense of self-protection will not produce stronger strength.

That's why the greatest talent of a samurai is hard work and diligence - the increase in fighting spirit brought about by overload training has obvious effects, but how many people can really persevere? You must know that the growth of fighting spirit is not that you can grow once you are tired, but even if you are tired, you must continue to keep exercising, and you will always be in pain and suffering. One or two times of fatigue will never allow the human body to easily increase the energy of the fighting spirit.

In fact, the improvement that this quick method can bring every day is still limited, and it must be practiced day after day, year after year, to see obvious results over time.

The reason why Gong Hao felt the effect so quickly was mainly due to the weak fighting qi in his body, and he could feel it with a slight increase. In the future, when the vindictiveness becomes stronger, you may have limited growth for a year of hard training, just like 1 plus 1, which is doubled, but 99 plus 1, only one percent increase. The growth of Dou Qi is fixed, and as its own strength increases, the rate of its growth becomes slower and slower.

So how many people will be able to do such high-intensity and overloaded training day after day, year after year?

The answer is very little!

No matter what ideals you have in life, suffering will not be the goal you pursue.

You can aspire to become a powerful warrior, to stand at the pinnacle of human martial arts, to become an immortal existence, to dominate the world with a sword, and to be invincible and lonely without a single defeat, but the essence of your desire is the glory and aura behind the strength, not the difficult and painful sweat in the daily training.

The happiness that people seek is always a result, not a process.

People are also always smart, and if you've spent your whole life pursuing martial arts and getting to the top, only to end up with only a few years left to enjoy life, it's obviously not a good deal.

This is the reason why everyone has the potential to become a high-level samurai, but there are very few who can eventually reach the top. The vast majority of people will not use this masochistic method to improve their fighting spirit after reaching a certain level, and even if they do, it is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and the effect is almost equal to nothing. And the slow improvement of the heart method has gradually become the mainstream.

However, some people who really have the perseverance and perseverance to train hard often fail to become excellent samurai because they lack the guidance of famous teachers, and they are buried for life.

Therefore, there is no shortage of "geniuses" in the Fengming Continent who have quickly grown to level four or above in a few years, but may not have broken through the fifth or sixth level in a few decades, but there is a serious lack of those characters who have reached the peak of human glory step by step.

Of course, the evaluation of high-level samurai is not only determined by the flow of fighting qi in the body, including the use of fighting qi itself, fighting skills, and the use of martial arts are also very important. It's just that all skills are ultimately inseparable from the foundation of vindictiveness, and they are also inseparable from hard training.

In any case, Gong Hao had clearly felt the existence of the fighting spirit inside his body after twelve days of training.

According to Lancelot, this kind of high-intensity training method can basically meet the standard of vindictive spirit required of a junior samurai as long as it lasts for three months. If you come on a step-by-step basis, it may take more than two years.

And with Gong Hao's current progress rate, he may be able to reach the standard in a month, and I don't know if this progress speed is because he is too genius, or because Lancelot's training is too perverted.

He hoped it was the former, but when he thought about it, he thought the latter was more likely.

Lancelot wouldn't have applied his Sky Samurai's standards to himself when he used high-intensity training, right?

A little chilling!

But anyway, he was still grateful to Lancelot.

Although it was only a little bit of fighting spirit, if it was placed on a low-level samurai, it would not be enough for them to release a sword ray, but when it was reflected in a twelve-year-old weak child, the changes brought about were earth-shaking. Gong Hao clearly felt that his strength was almost double that of usual.

The so-called fast progress is because of the low starting point.

If he continues to train like this, he believes that his body will become stronger and stronger.

Even though it was just too painful.

But Lancelot wasn't interested in teaching him any more.

"Okay, you've mastered the training method of Douqi, and you can basically feel the existence of Douqi. I'm not going to teach you anything more from today. ”

"But Lord Lancelot, it's only been twelve days. With my current strength, I'm afraid it won't be enough to deal with that poisonous python. ”

"You continue to train according to the way I gave you, and it should be about the same in another eighteen days. People who have just started to practice Dou Qi will always make the fastest progress. ”

"But my lord, I want you to teach me some more techniques for using vindictiveness. ”

Lancelot's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Gong Hao's throat: "Hey, boy, don't be too greedy! You're just a servant! Do you still want to be a real warrior?"

Gong Hao was pinched so much that he was almost out of breath: "Big ...... My lord...... I just want to learn how to use my fighting spirit to ward off the poison of the poisonous python. I mean...... If I accidentally get sprayed by it, at least I can use my vindictive energy to delay the use of the antidote. I don't think you want the lowly servant you trained to die like this, do you?"

"Whew......" Lancelot let out a long breath.

He put down Gong Hao: "What about the use of fighting spirit...... That's actually quite simple. You're a smart boy, and I'm worried that once you learn to be vindictive, I'm afraid that other things will be able to learn from you...... I don't want to get Hines in trouble. ”

What he meant by his words ... Gong Hao hurriedly reined in his heart and said, "Dear Lord Lancelot, in fact, I am just a lowly servant, and the reason why I was able to sense the existence of Dou Qi in a few days is entirely because of your excellent teaching. The use of vindictive energy is a vast and mysterious science, and I believe it is no simpler than alchemy. How can someone like me go to self-education without a teacher?"

Lancelot's face was finally slapped with a smile by this sycophant, but he still said lightly: "Who said that the use of fighting qi is complicated and huge? In fact, there is nothing simpler than martial arts." Whether it is the generation and application of fighting spirit, or the use of martial arts, the skills of fighting are actually not complicated. The world of martial artists never advocates complexity. Simplicity and practicality, that's all that matters. Like this sword. ”

Lancelot struck out with his sword, and a snow-colored light burst into a sun-like light.

The sword came out, the sword was closed, and his whole person seemed to have not moved, but a big tree not far away fell with a bang.

"Sword Mang?" Gong Hao, who had been trained by block training to keep his eyes on the opponent's weapon even in the most dangerous situation, suddenly caught Lancelot's state when he made a move.

What cut down the tree was the sudden surge of sword light on Lancelot's sword, but the speed of his attack was so fast that ordinary people couldn't see his movements clearly.

Lancelot smiled slightly: "That's right. Don't you want to learn how to use vindictiveness? That's how to use vindictiveness. ”

—————————————

Gong Hao finally understood what it meant to be self-inflicted.

If the improvement of Dou Qi is only hard and the degree of danger is actually very small, then Lancelot taught him to use the way of using Dou Qi, which is simply a deliberate murder.

The use of vindictive spirit is actually very simple. The method of improving the fighting spirit itself is actually a way of using the fighting energy, and human beings use the fighting energy to restore physical strength and repair the body. It's just that this method is the most primitive and passive.

If you want to actively use the Dou Qi energy, you must take the initiative to control the operation of the air flow in addition to sensing and strengthening the Dou Qi, and then use this power to your own designated needs.

This is the use of vindictiveness.

But it's easier said than done.

Gong Hao couldn't control his fighting spirit freely.

In fact, with this pitiful fighting spirit in his body, it would be good to be able to make him sense existence, so how could he use it? After all, he had only been practicing for a few days. But Lancelot doesn't care about that.

To learn the use of vindictiveness is your own request, how can you do it without suffering some hardships?

Only this time, he no longer used physical training.

He put Gong Hao in a cage and locked him up with the dire wolf who had been chasing him for three whole days and causing him to circle the lake for a full thirty laps.

This time, he had to kill the dire wolf directly.

"Boy, between you and this guy, only one can come out alive. I wish I could keep my cook, but unfortunately, that's how samurai are trained. Those who do not experience life and death will not have a breakthrough. ”

"Good luck!"
