Two days later,
Somewhere in the Great Deserts of the Eastern Continent,
Two men were engaged in an intense battle.
One might wonder, who were these two individuals?
Well, who else would be foolish enough to train in such a harsh environment and risk succumbing to a heatstroke.
Of course, it was none other than Leo and his dear disciple—yours truly.
You see, the King's Tournament was just a day away, and Leo had decided to put me through the most grueling training imaginable.
I wasn't exaggerating this time. This was really hard mode training he was putting me through.
I remember when we were training in the Southern Mountain range, Leo casually mentioned that he was taking it easy on me.
At the time, I didn't believe him for a second.
'What could be harder than this?' I remember myself thinking through the pain and cold.
