8 Bloody Training

Setting the talisman down, Xinya was filled with a desire to fly back and see Li Feng since today had been the longest time she had been away from him.

At the same time, her ears were still ringing with the loud pain filled voice which would cause her heart to jump in pain and nearly bring tears out of her eyes making it hard to continue thinking about him.

What made things even worse was the fact that Xinya had zero warm and happy memories along with Li Feng due to how she had carried herself around him until now.

"What's my daughter doing here all alone? Wallowing in your own regret?"

"What regret? This great one never does anything she regrets!"

"Humph! Let's see about that in the future. If what you've told me about him is the truth and not exaggerated, he's going to find out about the truth very soon. What do you think he'll do once he finds out?"

Sighing loudly, Xinya said, "All I hope is that before he finds out about the truth, he at least finishes one of the missions I've left him with. The rewards should be enough to let him continue cultivating and not want to stop."

Shaking her head, the other woman said, "You're a weird one. If only you had told me about where he is, I'd have destroyed that entire world and brought him back. If I had done that, wouldn't he by now already be someone on the path to greatness?"

"Yeah, right. I didn't put up with so much pain over so many years just to let you destroy all of it."

Standing up, Xinya looked towards her mother and said, "All I want you to do is look after him when he arrives here, I can take care of the rest."

Smirking proudly, the other woman didn't even put such a small request in her eyes.

"Who do you think you're talking to? Do you think I who raised you can't even look after my own grandson?"

Shaking her head with a wry smile, XInya didn't add anything and hoped that everything she did would not turn useless.

Even to this day, Xinya didn't want her son to become a heaven shaking expert who would make both gods and devils kneel in front of him.

All she wanted was for him to live a very long life full of happiness. But to do that, he needed to at least have enough strength to protect himself.

Therefore, if a few years of suffering was what was needed for a lifetime of happiness, then so be it.

Xinya was even willing to become her own son's worst villain if it meant he could spend the rest of his life happily.

…

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!!

BOOM!!!

The sound of something heavy and strong being struck repeatedly echoed through the sole training field inside the royal palace.

As for the source of the seemingly small explosions, it was a young boy who was gritting his teeth to bear with the pain as he struck the huge wall made of Tempered Bronze.

"Ahhh!!!"

Screaming loudly as he struck the wall for the umpteenth time, Li Feng didn't dare look at his own arm for fear of causing the pain to increase due to the visual stimulus.

After all, even though he didn't look towards his hand, he could easily tell that the skin on his fist had been completely ruined and his bones were poking out of the flesh as well leaving small dents in the huge wall every time he punched it.

Tempered Bronze. This was a material made from melting bronze to the highest limit and then hammering it so many times that a few hundred kilograms worth of it would end up as a single brick.

Due to this, Tempered Bronze had very few uses to it. Using such a costly material to build a house was completely impractical, and making any kind of armaments was not possible either due to how heavy it was.

So, what was it used for?

Testing.

Yes, testing.

Creating a huge wall out of Tempered Bronze like the royal family did, or even placing a single layer of it in front of a normal wall gave all cultivators the chance to test their strength by attacking it and seeing how much damage they managed to do to it.

Li Feng however wasn't using the wall for that reason. What he was using it for was to temper his body through the bloody destruction of his own skin, flesh and bones.

In this world, despite how many various ways there were to grow stronger, all of them in the end would come under two major paths.

Qi Building and Body Tempering.

Possess the power to control flying swords and creating fire out of thin air, or shattering the mountains with one's fists. These two lines were the most simple way to explain what each of the paths provided.

And what Li Feng was doing right now was following the exercises according to the Nine Nirvana Body Technique to temper his body.

Since Yu Yan had revealed that the rewards were meant to help with his Qi Building Cultivation, Li Feng wanted to temper his body right now despite the fact that it was the harder of the two cultivations and took more time than Qi Building to achieve the same level.
