Chapter 40: Extreme Pressure
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the sea, the sky was getting darker and darker. In the icy cold water, Meng Fan was continuously brandishing his sword.
A long time had passed. Lu Ping reduced his guidance. Because with his physical strength and true Qi depleted, Meng Fan was no longer able to follow standard movements.
It could even be said that most of Meng Fan’s movements were not standard.
He panted heavily and he felt the exhaustion in his body.
He wanted to stop, but every time he had this thought, he would hear Lu Ping’s stern roar!
“Don’t stop, use all your strength!” Lu Ping’s eyes were icy cold.
This was not the time to be soft-hearted. Only strong pressure could allow Meng Fan to continue improving.
Meng Fan’s consciousness was even a little blurry. His physical strength had been exhausted.
However, Lu Ping’s voice was the driving force that kept pushing him forward.
In reality, for most people, it was difficult to supervise themselves.
Even if one’s willpower was strong, under the circumstances where one’s body was exhausted and constantly assaulting one’s senses, people would constantly find excuses for themselves.
‘Enough, it’s almost time to stop.’ This seductive voice would constantly erode the trainer’s willpower in his mind.
Once he stopped, it would be difficult to break through the limit.
One had to use external force to forcefully stop the voice.
Meng Tingting watched as Meng Fan continued to swing his sword in the sea.
Meng Tingting’s heart softened in the end. She walked to Lu Ping’s side and said softly, “He’s been practicing for two hours! Can he rest? Even if he continues to practice, there’s no point.”
In fact, in Meng Tingting’s eyes, it was the same. Many of Meng Fan’s movements were incorrect. It would be better to take a break and practice again. But Lu Ping didn’t think so.
“Swing harder! Fifty more times and you can rest!” Lu Ping shouted.
In the water, when Meng Fan heard this, it was as if he had received a stimulant. He immediately began to swing harder, his movements even becoming more standard.
The corners of Lu Ping’s mouth curled up, he said to Meng Tingting, “Meng Fan’s potential is great, but to stimulate this potential, he needs high-intensity training. You see, he thinks he can’t do it anymore, and you guys think he can’t do it anymore, but he can still squeeze out his potential. This means he can do it!”
As he spoke, Lu Ping turned to look at Meng Tingting, his eyes extremely sharp, he said in a deep voice, “I understand that you feel sorry for him, but if you stop our training, you’re harming him! If you really want to help him, then go prepare food for him! He’ll need it soon!”
This was true. After Meng Fan had used up a lot of his energy, eating was a necessary choice.
With a strong physical exertion, he had to replenish his energy.
Meng Tingting Stared at Lu Ping and gritted her teeth. “I hope your training is effective! Otherwise, I won’t let this go!”
With that, she rode her sword and flew straight to the city to buy Meng Fan food.
Huang Xiaoqi walked to Lu Ping’s side and smiled. “You’re so heartless.”
Lu Ping said in a deep voice, “I’m just teaching him according to his aptitude. Meng Fan can endure this kind of intense training!”
At this moment, Meng Fan had finished swinging his sword!
Lu Ping roared, “Don’t stop! Are you trying to fool me? Out of the fifty swings just now, forty-five were not standard! I’ll give you two minutes! Give me the standard one!”
In reality, out of the fifty swings, there was not a single movement that completely met the standard.
The heavy sword, facing the wave of attacks, had pushed Meng Fan to his limit.
The fact that he was able to swing the heavy sword was already a desperate attempt.
However, in Meng Fan’s blurred consciousness, Lu Ping’s voice was the only order.
His strong desire to rest became the motivation for Meng Fan to continue slashing.
Huang Xiaoqi looked at Meng Fan in the distance and sighed softly. “You’re really heartless. He’s just a kid.”
Lu Ping said in a deep voice, “If you want something, you have to suck it up. No one can get everything for free.”
The path of cultivation was to fight against the heavens. If you couldn’t even endure some physical pain, how could you achieve great things?
Lu Ping’s words were cold, but it was reality.
Others wouldn’t wait for you, they wouldn’t see you as a child.
It was inevitable for people with ordinary talents to put in more effort if they wanted to surpass those with natural talent and intelligence.
Lu Ping had suffered countless hardships in order to cultivate since he was young.
How could he care about this?
Meng Fan finished swinging his sword again.
Lu Ping roared, “Are you playing with me, kid? Your stance is weak and powerless! Forget it! You don’t need to swing your sword anymore! Run along the shore with your sword on your back! Don’t stop until I say so!”
This was no longer the training of swordsmanship, but the extreme pressure on his body.
The true Qi in Meng Fan’s body was already bottoming out from the continuous strikes.
He carried the sword on his back and ran as fast as he could, but his speed wasn’t fast.
His stamina had long since run out, but his legs were still slightly stronger than his arms.
Meng Tingting had already returned. She only clenched her fists.
She stared at her little brother.
Meng Fan fell into the water.
He couldn’t hold on any longer.
He was too tired. He had lost consciousness, and all his energy had been squeezed out!
Meng Tingting and Lu Ping rushed over together.
They lifted him onto the shore.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing your disciple’s physical training. Your score is S, and you have received 100 Master points.”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for leveling up. You have received the sword control technique: Sea-Breaking Sword technique, restricted to the host and Meng Fan.”
Seeing the reward, Lu Ping was instantly delighted!
The only pity was that it could only be cultivated by Lu Ping and Meng Fan, and couldn’t be taught to anyone else.
Otherwise, he could sell this thing on Universal Treasure!
He would instantly be rich.
“Ding dong! The ceremony of apprenticeship has been completed. The teacher-disciple relationship has been officially established. The teacher-disciple intimacy value function has been activated.”
“Ding dong! Host’s disciple Meng Fan has gained physical strength +3, arm strength +9, willpower +20.”
“Ding dong! Host has gained physical strength +50, true Qi +10, total true Qi +50.”
Lu Ping’s heart was filled with joy.
The increase in his cultivation during this training was far greater than Meng Fan’s.
He was guiding Meng Fan, and as Meng Fan cultivated, his cultivation also increased.
Although this increase wasn’t much, if he cultivated on his own, it would take him a few days to reach this level.
At least he wouldn’t delay his cultivation just because he was teaching his disciple.
In fact, it was even faster than his own cultivation speed.
Meng Fan fell to the ground. After a long while, he slowly woke up.
Lu Ping said, “We don’t have much time left. You’ll have to work harder. It’ll be like this every day from now on. Can you keep up?”
“Ding dong! Your disciple Meng Fan has retreated because of his extreme cultivation.”
