CHAPTER 63: Yang Ruolan Arrives! [Fourth Update!]
Chu Yang was also very tired, but he had to endure it. If he showed any signs of being unable to handle it, the training would come to an abrupt end...
During lunch break, they rested for over half an hour. This short time was trivial for the four who had just endured painful torment.
In the afternoon, they began their desperate sprint again...
Gu Duxing, Dong Wushang, Ji Mo, and Rocky Luo worked even harder!
Because Boss Chu said: "When you were in the martial sect, I was a warrior. But now, we are on the same level. How hard you work will be evident from here on."
"From now on, if my cultivation level exceeds yours by one rank, then... an additional hundred pounds will be added to your backs. If I exceed two ranks, then two hundred pounds... and so on, and so forth..."
This statement left the brothers speechless. Chu Yang's speed was simply monstrous; competing with him was just seeking abuse, right? But Boss Chu was right; he was also human, and rapid progress was a result of hard work... If they were overtaken again, they would lose face.
The consequence was that by the afternoon, several of them were nearly exhausted...
After dinner, once they stopped sweating, Chu Yang finally relented, allowing the brothers to put down the Star Iron.
As soon as they set it down, they felt light as feathers; Rocky Luo lay back on the ground, letting out a long sigh, and exclaimed, "Now, this is happiness..."
Ji Mo shot him a disdainful glance. He really had no energy to say anything else. Damn it, usually when they were feasting on delicacies, they didn’t feel happiness, but today, after putting down a heavy stone, you suddenly feel happy...
(I can't help but add a few words here, not counting towards the word limit: During my time in the army, we trained for over twelve hours every day. Each day was exhausting to the point of near death, but as soon as I lay down on the bed at night, a deeply moving happiness would wash over me... Especially at the moment when my back touched the bed board, it felt dizzyingly blissful... Ah, I really miss that feeling.)
After resting for a while, Chu Yang, the top leader of the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, took Dong Wushang and Ji Mo out to make a name for themselves.
In the Gu family's camp, only Gu Duxing and Rocky Luo remained.
Gu Duxing sat cross-legged, diligently cultivating. He could feel that the day's training had pushed his fatigue to the extreme. Although he had broken through several physical limits, there was no significant effect, and in fact, it had increased his body's burden.
He recalled what Chu Yang said: "This kind of training will definitely be hard to adapt to at first. But once you adapt after more than seven days, you will clearly see where your progress lies."
All the sweat was not shed in vain.
Rocky Luo, however, was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. The ten members of the Gu Family's thrones looked at their young patriarch and his friends with complex expressions, all filled with admiration.
Such training was something others wouldn’t even dare to dream of. It could literally kill someone from exhaustion; yet these youths charged ahead without hesitation, putting everything on the line!
Even during their own youthful days, when they feared nothing, how many could manage to do this?
At such a young age, to be able to become a throne, it surely wasn't just due to family status and luck, right?
Next, Gu Duxing began to talk to each of the ten thrones in his family. He needed to understand everyone's thoughts and inspire their ambitions.
Gu Duxing had an idea: to tie the Gu Family to the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion! This might be the only way out for the Gu Family.
During these three days, Gu Duxing felt the embarrassment of the Gu Family: almost every other family had an imperial throne sitting in their ranks! Only the Gu Family did not. Although he was thriving among the younger generation, what would happen when the imperial throne of another family took action?
