Chapter 28: The Overbearing Supervisor
"Please stay here for now. Tomorrow morning, I'll personally report to the King. Once my father makes a decision on this matter, we will begin immediately." Tie Butian said with a smile. Just a moment ago, he had an imposing presence as if he was trying to test the heavens with a sword, but with a smile, his entire demeanor seemed to change, becoming warm and approachable, making people feel as if they were basking in spring sunshine!
He didn't even need any special means to win people's hearts; it was just this plainness that made one involuntarily feel a desire to die for him!
"Understood." Furious Thunder felt a chill in his heart, unable to help but think even more highly of this Iron Cloud Crown Prince. Though young, this prince was anything but ordinary! In all his life, he had never seen anyone, regardless of age, who could compare with this person!
No wonder he was hailed as the greatest young genius throughout history in the Lower Three Heavens, the only natural-born king!
Before meeting Tie Butian, Furious Thunder had dismissed this claim: what natural-born king existed in this world? It was merely a matter of good birth, receiving better education than ordinary people, and long-term accumulation of momentum from studying the art of imperial governance since childhood.
As for being the greatest genius... were there not enough geniuses in this world?
But at this moment, he believed it. The innate elegance, the dignity within the soul, and the kingly demeanor naturally expressed in every gesture made even someone like Furious Thunder, a fierce man from the martial arts world, tremble deep within his soul!
At this moment, the Sky Tower Purple Bamboo Garden was bustling with activity.
Sky Tower, morning.
Tan Tan lay on the ground in a "Tai" shape, panting heavily, rolling his eyes and shouting, "Chu... Chu Yang, I admit you're more handsome than me! You've been too harsh these days, haven’t you? You’ve almost worked me to death..."
For the past few days, whenever Chu Yang practiced, he would drag Tan Tan along, and each time Tan Tan was left exhausted. After a few days, he was already at the point where he trembled in fear at the sight of Chu Yang.
Chu Yang always calculated precisely how long Tan Tan could train before reaching his physical limits, timing it perfectly. After each session, he ensured that Tan Tan could not stand up using his own strength, yet without harming his body.
Now, every time Tan Tan saw him, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He had started off boasting about himself, but now he didn’t even have time for self-admiration...
Chu Yang took a deep breath and finished his training, standing up. During these twenty days, he had not relaxed his cultivation at all, and he had already raised his level to martial apprentice ninth rank. Just one step away from entering the ranks of martial artists.
Feeling the changes within his body, Chu Yang smiled slightly. Only by entering the ranks of martial artists could he truly begin to refine his body.
Before becoming a martial artist, if one were to forcibly strengthen their physical body, whether bones or internal organs, they would suffer severe damage due to excessive training!
This principle must still be a misconception in the Lower Three Heavens? That’s why there is a saying in the Lower Three Heavens: "Scholarship lasts a thousand autumns, martial artists last a sixty-year rest." This refers to this very issue, saying that martial practitioners cannot live past sixty.
Though this saying carries a hint of promoting scholarship over martial skills, and the sixty-year rest notion seems somewhat extreme, every year, many martial apprentices strive to improve their realm as quickly as possible, pushing themselves to train relentlessly. However, the excessive fatigue and physical exhaustion take a toll, and while their realm may improve at that moment, by around fifty years old, the drawbacks would become apparent. Once revealed, their bodies would essentially be destroyed, and recovery would be impossible...
