--- Chapter 118 ---
Ten days later.
Blue Wind Imperial Palace.
Yu Long sipped his refreshing drinks as he watched two sweaty young men running like dogs. Their bodies were trembling as if they were at a limit already, but he could see their excited expression.
"Poor guys." He commented lightly.
"You put them in the forbidden training regime I created years ago, knowing the side effects... At this point, their career as a man would be bleak."
Cang Yue drank her lemonade and responded, "They are short of time, and I'm not pushing them to agree. They are the ones who agreed with the consequences of One Punch Man's revised training."
"One Punch Man's revised training..." Xia Qingue mumbled to herself.
One Punch Man's revised training is a set of exercises that could unearth one's potential. Yu Long created this years ago, but only a handful of people went through it successfully.
The exercises included 100,000 Push-ups, 100,000 Sit-Ups, 100,000 Squats, and a 1,000 KM (620 Mile) Run with a controlled diet. Every freaking day!
The side effects of One Punch Man's training for men are permanent hair loss, IQ loss, and rapid body aging. If the women did the training, they would also lose their hair, bodily assets(such as breasts and asses), and be constantly emotional.
What Fen Juechen and Sikong Du currently experienced is improvised One Punch Man's training. The hurried increase in intensity improved their physical strength and cultivation base in a tight timespan, but Yu Long also could see their hairline receding.
Fen Juechen and Sikong Du finished their runs, falling to the ground with newfound power coursing in their bodies. They didn't mind the side effects as long as they became stronger this fast.
"Good, you have survived the first ten days." Cang Yue commented casually.
"Your next task would be hunting Sky Profound Realm Beast down."
"Eh?" Fen Juechen and Sikong Du were shocked.
Although their strength and cultivation have increased explosively, they are only at the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm. So, telling them to hunt down a Sky Profound Beast is no different than suicide.
Cang Yue crossed her arms, "What, don't tell me you cannot do such a simple task?"
"We will depart to the Heavenly Sword Villa tomorrow, so your time limit is two days. Get yourself in top condition, or you will get killed." After saying that, Cang Yue ordered some servants to drag Fen Juechen and Sikong Du for the medicinal bath.
She wasn't exaggerating when saying they could die.
Yu Long smirked as he expected entertainment tomorrow. He glanced at his beautiful wives and said, "Are you two nervous?"
"You will have to fight each other soon."
"No." Xia Qingyue flatly said.
"Yeah, me too." Cang Yue replied calmly. "I'm excited to fight Qingyue as this would show who was better."
The lady glanced at each other, having sparks between their gazes. Yu Long grabbed their hands and continued, "No matter who wins, don't push yourself too much."
Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue's gaze softened as they nodded, "Mm."
If Fen Juechen and Sikong Du saw Cang Yue like this, they would be shocked because this is not the domineering princess they knew.
...
The next day, Yu Long bade farewell to his in-laws.
Cang Wanhe shook Yu Long's hand, and Lan Shirou hugged him.
"I hope you visit again in the future." Cang Wanhe said with a smile.
Yu Long likewise smiled and replied, "I will. Or you could ask Mother(Lan Shirou) to bring you to the Lost Heaven Sect. My father and grandfather would be happy to meet you."
"Yeah, that's right." Lan Shirou nodded at Yu Long's statement. She has known Xu Sanshan and Yu Zhan for years, and with their personality, they would get along well with her husband.
Unfortunately, Cang Wanhe was always busy with his responsibility as the emperor.
"We will see about that in the future..." Cang Wanhe curtly responded.
A few seconds later, a massive green-feathered bird descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
Cang Yue hugged Lan Shirou and then Cang Wanhe, "Just wait for the good news. The Blue Wind Imperial Family won't be the same after this."
Cang Wanhe smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, "Are you consoling me?"
"That's our ride." Yu Long said, giving his father-in-law a nod.
"Well, I will be waiting for the good news." Cang Wanhe responded with a chuckle.
As Yu Long and others landed on the bird's back, he waved his hand for the last time at his in-laws. They waved back, watching the bird fly to the horizon.
Lan Shirou leaned on her husband's shoulder and said, "We might become grandparents soon."
"And what makes you think so?" Cang Wanhe glanced at his wife.
Lan Shirou laughed softly and responded, "Hehe, my intuition."
...
A massive, green-feathered bird flapped its wings and reached over the wilds in minutes. "Stop here." Cang Yue said.
The bird let out a cry and nod, hovering in the air.
Cang Yue stared at Fen Juechen and Sikong Du and ordered, "There is a Sky Profound Realm Beast below us. Defeat it within a day, and you can use any method in mind."
"Good luck." She said, throwing them off the bird.
Fen Juechen and Sikong Du landed heavily on the rocky mountain. They groaned and saw a massive python staring at them.
"S-Shit!" Sikong Du cursed between his breaths.
"Quick, let's run!" urged Fen Juechen as he forcibly yanked Sikong Du to his feet. "We won't stand a chance against this monstrous creature if we engage it head-on."
Yu Long looked down in amusement and said, "Hmm, the training has unearthed some of their potential. But only in grave danger could they awaken more of it."
Xia Qingyue crouched and added, "If they survive, that's it."
"Given how shallow their foundation was, fighting Sky Profound Realm Beasts is near impossible."
"But if they survive and win, they are worth teaching."
Hong Guan, Lily, Chu Yueli, and Chu Yuechan observed the struggling young men below them. They would like to see how they survive this whole ordeal.
Fen Juechen and Sikong Du ran from the Sky Profound Realm Beast for half a day. They are playing hide-and-seek like mice to a cat.
Their bodies were 'thoroughly' riddled with injuries, but none of them had a pained look. On the contrary, they are grinning like fools and laughing like madmen because they can feel their untapped potential burst open every time the Sky Profound Realm Beast attacks them.
In their last hour, the sun is rising to the sky.
Fen Juechen and Sikong Du are blazing with spirit, like literally with an intense flame around their bodies.
They fought the Sky Profound Realm Beast with their lives on the line, using their fist as their greatest weapons. They could feel the heat from their abdomen in the last ten minutes.
Fen Juechen and Sikong Du stood beside each other. They stared at the massive python and clenched their fists.
"This is it..." Sikong Du breathed heavily.
"Yeah." Fen Juechen entered a stance.
As the python pounced at them, Sikong Du and Fen Juechen unleashed a mighty punch with all they had. Their blood boils, their bones rupture, and their profound energy explodes simultaneously.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The rocky mountain was 'violently' swept by a destructive force. The massive python fell to the ground, losing its life.
As for Fen Juechen and Sikong Du, they are gasping on the ground with a pale look. They also look several years older with balding hair.
Cang Yue jumped and threw her Yang(Life) Energy at them, healing their battered bodies. "Hmm, not bad." She said with a smile.
"Congratulations, you have passed the training."
"I hope you're doing well later in the tournament and not disgrace my choices."
"We will not let you down, princess!" Fen Juechen and Sikong Du said with difficulty. At the same time, they couldn't conceal their happiness.
Fen Juechen was an underdog in the Burning Heaven Clan. He went to the Blue Wind Profound Palace to become stronger and get his revenge on his older brother.
With his current strength, Fen Juechen could easily wipe his older brother to the ground and wash his past humiliation!
Sikong Du was a 37th-ranked disciple in the Blue Wind Profound Palace's inner palace. Although he was talented, he wasn't that talented because there were 36 people better than him. Meeting Cang Yue is like a change of fate for him.
In short, they are grateful.
They arrived at the back of the green-feathered bird, and Cang Yue told them to get some rest.
...
A few hours later.
Heavenly Sword Mountain Region.
The Heavenly Sword Mountain Range was 'actually' located within the Blue Wind Empire's borders, but it was not under the jurisdiction of the Blue Wind Imperial Family.
It solely belonged to the Heavenly Sword Villa. Although the land 'originally' belonged to the Blue Wind Empire and used to be called the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range, the Heavenly Sword Villa was claimed due to their ancestor's agreement with the Blue Wind Empire's first emperor.
So, the Imperial Family had 'completely' granted it to them to win them over. Thus, Heavenly Sword Villa renamed the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Range to the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range.
The Heavenly Sword Mountain Range spanned four hundred kilometers from north to south. And four hundred fifty kilometers from east to west. Its highest peak reached several thousands of meters tall and was named the 'Summit of Cloud Piercing Sword.' If one disregards all those short and small mountains, there are still six subsequent summits over three thousand meters tall.
Yu Long's group reached the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region and saw countless figures flying at a massive gate between two mountains. Since the green-feathered bird couldn't enter the area, Yu Long ordered it to wait outside.
They flew to the entrance gate. Lily carried Fen Juechen and Sikong Du because they couldn't fly yet.
"Thank you, senior." Fen Juechen and Sikong Du said to Lily.
"It's nothing. You will be able to do the same soon." Lily responded casually.
Four women in snowy white robes greeted them at the gate.
"Ah, what a coincidence."
"It's nice to see you again, young master." A blue-haired beauty walked to Yu Long and bowed slightly.
Chu Yuechan narrowed her eyes and commented, "Murong Qianxue, you're the one who led the Frozen Cloud Asgard this year?"
Murong Qianxue nodded and replied, "Yes. I led Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, and Jing Jing to the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament under the Grand Palace Mistress. Among the disciples, their cultivation base and fighting prowess are the best."
"Should we enter together?" Yu Long chuckled.
"We'd love to~!" The four women responded immediately. Their expression is that of maiden-in-love when talking to Yu Long.
Yu Long's women were used to it, but Chu Yuechen and Jasmine couldn't help but twitch their lips. He's too high in demand!
The guards came and asked for their invitation.
Hong Guan, Cang Yue, and Murong Qianxue stepped out. Three beauties make everyone around gasped in shock for a moment.
The guard was stunned and dumbly accepted the invitation.
"These are..." The guard checked the invitation letters. "Welcome to the Heavenly Sword Villa, dear guests from Lost Heaven Sect, Frozen Cloud Asgard, and Blue Wind Imperial Family."
Murmurs echo in the area when the guards mention their factions' names.
The guard offered to escort them to their temporary settlement, but Yu Long and others refused. Luckily, their courtyards are near each other.
Upon entering the Heavenly Sword Villa, Yu Long could feel the profound energy's density was higher than the outside. He also sensed this hidden sharpness from the surrounding peaks.
'It seems I won't get too bored here.' Yu Long thought with a smile. His goal was the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, but who said he couldn't have fun first?
