Chapter 161: Breaking Through Limits is This Easy
Which of these proud young masters is willing to accept failure? Not only are they unwilling to accept defeat, but they also want to compete among themselves to see who is the best!
In their hearts, what does it matter to compare with others? If they are to compare, it must be with these individuals! Because these individuals share a similar status. Only by surpassing them can they consider it a personal success! To some extent, it can also be regarded as a success for their families!
These children of noble families may not be well-regarded within their clans, and when the family is mentioned, they often display expressions of dissatisfaction and resentment. Yet, each one harbors a strong sense of family identity.
Whether they are hedonistic or unruly, when it comes to family interests and reputation, they care more than anyone else. This is what it means to be a descendant of a noble family! It is also the unique foundation and pride of such families!
"You want to break through your own limits?" Chu Yang strolled in and asked with a smile.
Of course, the five of them rolled their eyes; your rules are so strict that, by ordinary estimates, they would need to break through their limits at least every two days to have any chance of breaking through to the first rank within a month!
Breaking through every two days would be enough to wear a person out.
"But if you train like this, when will you be able to break through your limits?" Chu Yang crossed his arms and mocked them, "Are you all fools?"
"What do you suggest we do?" Rocky Luo snorted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"The lowest among you have martial sect levels! If you use them up in such battles... how long will it take? Moreover, without the pressure of life and death, your mental state won't be tense at all. Also, at your level, as long as you have time to recover, you can continuously generate vital energy, although not as quickly as it’s consumed; at least it prolongs the time of consumption."
Chu Yang said lightly, "And in battles like yours, although they seem intense, each person has their own resting time; or rather, even if you don’t want to rest, when you can't enter the fighting circle, that's your resting time; though this time is short, it ensures that you will never break through your limits!"
"This is a common frustration for martial artists!" Ji Mo said, "What can we do? Only after reaching our limits and feeling that kind of fatigue, akin to death, and when the dantian is empty, can we have a breakthrough! If we follow what you said, wouldn’t that mean we have no hope of breaking through?"
"There is plenty of hope, it’s just that you are foolish! You simply can’t find a way!" Chu Yang snorted, "I can break through my limits three to four times a day! And that's with me being busy during the daytime. If I were to dedicate all my time to training, I could completely exhaust myself! Do you know what it means to exhaust oneself?"
"Three to four breakthroughs in a day? Do you think you’re a god?" Ji Mo scoffed; he simply did not believe this claim. Ordinary people might break through several times in a day, but as advanced martial artists, with vital energy continuously generated, reaching even one limit is difficult. How could he achieve three to four breakthroughs in a day?
"Pressure! You live in comfort; where is the pressure?!" Chu Yang said compassionately.
"Can you give us pressure?" Ji Mo shot him a sidelong glance.
"Very easily!" Chu Yang turned his head and called out, "Gu Duxing, take off your socks."
Gu Duxing was taken aback but followed orders, removing his shoes and tossing out his already sweaty and sticky socks. Although they were on an island, the moment he took them off, Rocky Luo, Ji Mo, and Rui Butong all covered their noses and stepped back.
After a day of sweat, the smell was far worse than that of a stinky, old fish... When Gu Duxing tossed the socks out, the fabric socks actually stood rigidly on the ground.
