*The Next Day*
"huff huff"
A young man can be seen running around the Shi residence at sunrise.
As he pants heavily, Kang hi tells himself, "I have to finish the tenth lap ".
Moments later, inside Kang Shi's house
"one , two , three, four , five , six
..., twenty two, twenty three..., thirty, I can still go thirty, thirty." Sweat-soaked, his chest rising and falling, Kang Shi slumps to the four. He gets up and slaps himself, saying, "Can not stop now got to keep on going now situps."
Nii Li remarks, "Even though the young master's body is slim, it still looks good to look at." As she realizes what she is thinking, she hits herself in the head, asking herself, "What am I thinking about? If the young master finds out, I am going to be in big trouble."
*Sunset*
In his courtyard, Kang Shi lies down on the grass and thinks, "Another wrap done, but I feel like I am not as tired as before. I have to keep going faster and faster and get stronger because father requests are almost impossible." Standing up, Kang Shi passes the restless Nii Li on his way to his room. He glances at her and then says, "Go fill the tub, I am tired."
Later at night, Kang Shi sits in a discreet corner of the courtyard in a meditative position.
sunrise to sunset I exercise while studying this sword technique at night. The scripture states that this technique does not require any cultivation stage to learn, but that in order to display even the lowest of power, one must reach the qi acupuncture stage. Fortunately, I do not currently intend to use the technique; instead, my focus is on comprehending the one hit sword s***h itself and turning basic sword moves like hack, s***h, and pierce into killer moves.
Since I do not need a one-way ticket to death, I must find a way. I suppose this is the benefit of being from another world, as I can observe the so-called techniques from a different perspective. The one-hit sword technique depends on the blood lightning element to demonstrate extreme speed that defense is not necessary, at least for the blood lightning emperor.But for the time being, let us concentrate on comprehending the technique. Kang Shi closes his eyes and enters his mind temple to study the technique, which is unknown to him. If an outsider were to learn of this act, they would be greatly shocked because only those who are in the soul-cultivating stage are able to examine their own minds, so his actions now are absolutely astounding.
The benefit of being able to examine one's mind is enormous; the mind works at a speed that the body cannot match. For example, Kang Shi may have spent only a few minutes outside practicing sword skills, but in his mind he could have spent more than an hour learning a move. This efficiency is unparalleled, and his soul, which is twice as large as the average person's, speeds up his thought process.
Kang Shi thus keeps up the cycle, working on body training from sunrise to sunset and refining the sword technique into a more manageable and appropriate form for him at night.
*After Two Months *
during the mid-spring season.A few of the Shi family members are walking by the Shi residence, and one of the men says
" they is something different that failure of a young master is not out today by this time he should be sweating like a pig running around like he his being chased "
The rest of the group erupted in laughter upon hearing his words, and one of the women then made a comment.
"He must have quit after all, that is his main thing, is it not after all he nearly quit life after his fiance dumped him "
As they continued to laugh, Nii Li, who was walking by carrying a bucket of water, overheard them and hurried over to Kang Shi's house.
At Kang shi courtyard
Young master, you would be shocked at what they were saying about you.
Raising his hands, Kang Shi said, "Give me the bucket of water. I want to take a shower. Today is my break. Also, why should what they say bother me? Should their remarks stop me from pursuing strength?" He then proceeded to pick up the bucket from her and entered his bamboo house, leaving the maid stunned.
It all makes perfect sense, Nii Li realizes.
"Why does the young master find their words bothersome "
Saying so she followed behind young master trying to enter with him then she hears him say.
"You are free for the day, so there is no need to come in. Come back tomorrow, and do not make me say it again."
Nii Li swallows the word she was about to say when she hears her young master's harsh words and then walks up.
Inside the bamboo house Kang shi pours the water into the half filled tub before pulling his clothes and getting in
" I finally broke through yesterday in a way I did not expect I guess taxing the mind and the body has it benefits, I can feel body lighter and faster but the stench of impurities I don't think I can handle it again, but I can't stop now the summer hunt is barely two month from now am not even sure if I can break through into the muscle tendon transformation stage i have to up my body training activity and increase the amount of laps i do the pushups and situps and maybe even add handstands that should pressure my upper body well "
After getting out of the bath, Kang Shi puts on his clothes then walks outside his room into his courtyard and looks up at blue sky seeing different birds he has Never seen back at earth.
" this almost seem like a dream this fantasy world the concept of cultivating , but I know it is not this is real I have a chance to create my own fate with my own hands such laughable words I said at my own world can be fulfilled that is my aim "
looking at the sky one more time Kang shi turns his back as he enters his room to continue studying the sword technique.
