Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Mother and Daughter Recognize Each Other (1)
At the age of sixteen, being Postnatal Level 7 might seem like genius to others, but to her, it was entirely insufficient. Such strength could only let her skirmish with the youth, but she would never match up to the real powerhouses.
She had to become stronger.
Only by becoming powerful could she qualify to fight shoulder to shoulder with him.
“Wuchen, although I don’t know what has happened or what you are going to do, you promised me you would definitely come back…”
Mu Ruyue lifted her head to gaze at the distant sky, and the unease in her heart gradually subsided.
Since he had made her that promise, she would believe that he would definitely return alive…
The days of training were naturally arduous, but fortunately, she had experienced it once in her previous life, so compared to the other members of the Shitian Team, she adapted very quickly.
Although everyone returned covered with wounds every day, and some nearly fainted from exhaustion due to running heavily weighted with iron blocks, everyone felt that they were absorbing Qi faster than before, and their strength was growing bit by bit…
Every night when she returned to the Mu Residence, Mu Ruyue would long for Ye Wuchen. If it weren’t for this experience, she might never have known how important the fool who had once feigned stupidity to deceive her had become in her heart.
That man had done so much for her…
Yet, because her strength was insufficient, she didn’t even have the qualification to face some challenges alongside him; blindly following by his side would only turn her into a burden.
And in this continent, the Cultivation World of Huaxia was no different, where the powerful were revered and the weak had only the right to be trampled upon. To fight alongside him, she had no choice but to become stronger.
It was because of this belief that, during training, Mu Ruyue endured more hardship and exerted more effort than in her previous life. Seeing a young woman possess such stamina and resilience, how could the others fall behind? They gritted their teeth and kept up.
This was their first step in enhancing their strength, and they couldn’t give up!
“Master, master, I’ve broken through! I never thought that this kind of training method could lead to a breakthrough.”
Within two months, the members of the Shitian Team were breaking through one by one. Sixth-level martial artists had mostly advanced to the Seventh-level, and among the thirty Seventh-level members, eight had reached the Eighth-tier. Although those at the Eighth and Ninth-level had not made breakthroughs, everyone felt they had changed a lot compared to two months prior.
Whether it was defensive or combat strength, there had been a noticeable improvement.
But who knew what they had gone through in those two months?
Hellish training, it truly was!
First, they ran with iron weights strapped to their bodies, gradually increasing from one iron block to fifty over two months, and they were not allowed to let them fall off. This might not yet count as hellish training, but what followed was the real nightmare…
They had to fight powerful demon beasts with their bare hands, not allowed to use weapons. Sometimes, when facing an entire horde of demon beasts, they could not draw their weapons, nor were they allowed to use elixirs, and had to rely solely on their hands to combat the hordes of demon beasts.
How many times in these two months had they walked back from the brink of death? Fortunately, everyone held on, just as she had said before.
Only by facing real danger could one unlock the body’s potential.
Their potential was ignited amidst the shadows of death time after time.
So two months later, the members of the Shitian Team underwent a great change in their aura; each one of them carried an air of ruthless killing.
And this, was the true Shitian Team.
