I should have gone with a system

Under the bright blue sky, deep in the mountains, was Long Reng and Ming Huang, his ' mom.'

' I'm going to kill Prime! …. ' Long Reng gritted his teeth as sweat poured into his eyes.

" You call that a lift, your grandmother could do better " 

Long Reng turned his head to see his mom holding a long cane beside her standing in front of a group of boulders, dressed in a light brown armour with her long hair tied into a ponytail.

He kept glaring at her, while she glared back at him ' If I kill myself, I might be free from all of this…..' He exhaled and gritted his teeth and continued.

' I should have asked for a bigger cheat! At least a cheat that fucking worked properly… system! I should have gone with a system ' 

"What are you slacking off for!" His mom yelled as she slammed the cane in the ground, creating cracks like a spider web.

He gave her a quick look with his eyebrows raised, she responded with a sharp snort

' Realm then wives … simple list and I'll be out… I'll need capital to move around this continent, maybe I could do some peddling on the road or becoming a merchant type, use some networking to find them without even having to move' 

His mom let out creepy smile as she watched him disappear into his thoughts, with a breezeless swirl of the cane, she lifted one of the elephant sized boulders, plopping it onto the already 3 boulder high pile that was being lifted up by Long Reng's palms as he swatted.

Before he could rise up, Long Reng's body was forced further into the foot imprints he had made in the ground. A bowl full of air escaped from his lungs, his muscles tensed while his veins tried to escape from his skin.

" If you space out one more time, I'll add two more!" His mom sat down on a boulder with a slight smile on her face.

" I hope my future wives won't do this to me!" Long Reng could only recompose himself and continue through the pain.

" If you have time to joke, you can lift more no?" The sound of the cane tapping against the rock, made Long Reng quickly zip his mouth.

'tut... How will the women take the news, surely if they are waiting, they should know about me ' he furrowed his eyebrows, as he began picking up the speed in his squats.

' I bet my house they will all be weird like female Prime or even worse ' He shuddered at the thought, nearly causing the boulders to drop to the ground.

Before he could recover, he felt the weight on his back increase in double, with his feet becoming buried in the ground. 

" I did warn you didn't I" 

He heard his mom's voice but could no longer see her due to the over-hang from the boulders.

He felt his body start to shake like a jello as every fiber in his body was straining trying to hold on.

"Physically weak, mentally weak, you'll die in the first few seconds if you don't take this seriously" the temperature of the garden turned cold after she spoke.

His eyes narrowed when he heard her words 

" We are done with this one, next! " She jumped up from her and  knocked off the boulders with her cane. 

As they landed next to Long Reng, he dusted off his hand his hands and wiped off the sweat on his brow. " You know, this is my training regime" 

She pulled his hands towards her, checking the front and back, making sure there weren't any bruises "if you lose even a second of concentration, they will kill you, do you understand… you can't cultivate like the rest, so you need to be more cunning, faster and especially,more focused! "

She stared deep into his eyes " You are young and so so smart but the day they learn what you can do, trust me some people will look at you like your a bag of treasure and you will need to survive with everything you've got " 

Long Reng briefly looked at her before taking back his hand and walking over to a rack of weapons  "Yes, I understand"

" Good, we'll finish up with archery, if you get full points, I'll make your favourite meal " She said whilst folding her arms smugly, watching him walking away.

"Sure" A small smile crept on Long Reng's face as he picked up the bow.
