Chapter 897 - Training
"Yes. Have you ever been pushed to the point where you could not even lift a single finger? Have you ever been so exhausted that you thought you'd die by running out of breath? Have you ever risked your life in training?" Yuan asked.
Li Jinxi pondered for a moment before shaking her head, "No, not really."
"You can achieve immense growth in a short period of time if you continue to push yourself to your very limit every day. Of course, this could actually damage one's body, but this only applies to ordinary people. Jinxi, you have an amazing body— a physique blessed by the heavens. If anyone should train in such a manner, it should be you."
"However, it's not going to be easy. You will experience intense pain. Hell, you might even die."
"I want to do it." Li Jinxi responded without hesitation.
"Even if you might die?"
She nodded.
Yuan smiled. Although nobody knows about it, he'd almost died hundreds of times inside his room during his 20 years of seclusion. There were times when he wanted to quit and sleep eternally, but he would always get back up and train until he was at death's door.
But because of his insane and reckless training, he was able to acquire the strength to defeat demons in such a short time.
"How does your body feel right now?" Yuan asked her a moment later.
"A little sore, but that's it."
"Good. Get dressed and meet me in the training area. We're going to continue your training."
"Yes!"
Sometime later, they returned to the training area.
"Use the nameless technique and attack me. I won't just be avoiding and defending this time."
Li Jinxi nodded and activated the nameless technique, causing her bloodlust to reappear.
However, before she could even make a move, Yuan suddenly dashed forward and threw a powerful punch at her face.
Li Jinxi subconsciously blocked the attack with her sword, but she was still sent flying by the impact.
'So strong!'
"What are you doing?! Hurry up and focus! Fight me! Try to kill me!" Yuan shouted as he approached her again.
Li Jinxi clenched her teeth and started attacking him with the intention to kill.
However, Yuan suddenly released his killing intent, halting her movements for a brief second.
Yuan used this chance to connect his fist with her stomach, sending her flying for a second time.
After stabilizing herself, Li Jinxi immediately puked out everything she ate for breakfast.
She lifted her head a moment later to look at Yuan, who was slowly approaching her with an immense amount of killing intent flowing from his body.
Her entire body trembled in fear. For the first time in her life, she was fearing for her life.
"Get up! You will never achieve your full potential with such half-assed effort!" Yuan shouted at her, snapping her out of her daze.
"Aaaaah!" Li Jinxi stood up and released a war cry before running at him again.
"What the hell are they doing?" The Manager watched them from a distance with a puzzled face.
She thought they were training at first, but it looked too brutal to be training, and Yuan was pummeling Li Jinxi like she had killed his family.
Due to the loud nature of their training, the others also noticed the commotion in the training area, and they were all shocked by what they saw.
"Holy shit! What's happening?! Why are they going at each other's throat?!" Wang Ming asked the others.
"I'm not sure… Should we stop them and ask for an explanation?" Wang Bingbing said.
"They're probably training." Chu Liuxiang said.
"You call that training? It looks like a one-sided beatdown to me." Shi Lang said.
"God… I have never seen Li Jinxi in such a beaten state before… She looks like she's on the verge of death." Xi Murong mumbled in a dazed voice.
In the end, nobody went to stop them. They believed in Yuan and Li Jinxi— that they had a good reason to be fighting each other in such a manner.
The training lasted for three whole hours, stopping when Li Jinxi was covered in her own blood and completely unconscious.
Of course, Li Jinxi had lost consciousness a couple of times during the three hours, but they only lasted for a brief moment, and she would continue to train immediately after waking up.
As Yuan carried her seemingly lifeless body back to the house, everyone rushed to him.
"What the hell happened, Yuan?" Wang Ming was the first to ask.
"Hm? We were only training." He calmly said.
"Training? It looked like you wanted to kill her…" Shi Lang said.
Yuan smiled and said, "I will explain everything to you after I get her cleaned up."
"I will help you." Meixiu said.
"Okay. Thank you."
After Yuan brought Li Jinxi back to her room, Meixiu helped wash her body.
Sometime later, after putting Li Jinxi in her bed, Yuan returned to the others and explained the situation to them.
"The technique she had been using wasn't created for humans? Wow… that's unexpected. I never knew that such a thing even existed…" Wu Zao said.
"I get that you're trying to push Li Jinxi to her limit, but that would be pointless if she becomes bedridden for the next week, right?" Wang Ming asked.
Yuan smiled and said, "She'll be fine. In fact, she'll wake up tomorrow like nothing happened. This is all because of her unique physique."
"Also, I don't know if you noticed this or not, but Jinxi was able to use her nameless technique throughout our entire training without experiencing any backlash."
"N-Now that you mention it!" Their eyes widened upon this realization.
"How did you do it?" Wang Bingbing asked.
"It's simple. I used only my fists for a reason. Everytime I punch her body, it would release some of the built up tension in her muscles, allowing her to continue using the technique without reaching her maximum threshold as quickly." Yuan explained.
"I see…"
